voice of the Nation and is the true standard o>
Loyalty:
That the present deplorable civil war has beer
forced upon the country by the disanionists of the
Fouthern States. now in arms against the Constitutional
Government, and in arms around the Capital; that in
this Platiunal emorganep, Congress, banishing all feel=
tag of mere passion or resentment, will Meolleht atilt'
its duty to the whole country;. that this war is not
waged on their port in any spirit of vppression, or f 7
any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of
overthrowing-or inhrfering with therights or established
institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain
the supremacy of the Constitution. and to preserve the
Union, with all the dignity, equality and rights of the

The Situation as We Believe it to be.
We have but little to add to our report of
yesterday morning. No passes are given to
civilians across the river, and all we know is
that the invading host is in full and rapid re
treat. No doubt a battle will be fought on the
border, perhaps in the vicinity of Hagerstown,
between the forces of General Meade, who are
advancing in this direction, and the retreating
army under General Ewell. We can only hope
that. the issue will be in our favor, and that we
may be able in a day or two to record a glori
ous victory. •
We trust the rumor of General Meek'llarea
appointment nay be true, but place no confi
dence in it.
The New York World has the following :--
" There is every reason for believing
perhaps before the close of this week, at a
point near Hagerstown, in Maryland. Lee has
suddenly commenced to concentrate his army,
and as a consequence Harrisburg and the line
of the suoquehanna are no longer menaced by
the Confederate forms, General Meadeff ately
is in motion, and in such force that all the
minor movements of the enemy are checked
until the grand trial of strength takes place.
Everything is reported quiet from Washington
around to Harrisburg, which simply Beane
thst the storm is about to break_ its force upon
one single point of the whole line. The prompt
ness of General Meade to compel this change
in the enemy's plans is certainly a good sign.
Let us hope he will he as successfulin fighting
a battle as in forcing one.
"On Sunday last General Dix was within
twenty miles of Richmond with a large army,
and a Union cavalry force bad reconnoitered
to within nine miles of the Confederate capi
tal. This is a daring movement, and there
seems to be a hundred chances to one against
its success. Even if Richmond should be
taken, it would help us nothing if we lost
Meade's army or Washitigtefi. But if General
Dix planned the expedition, and is allowed to
carry it out, we have every confidence that his
ability and prudence will make it yield some
good result."
An Example so be Followed.
The actions rather than the words of men
speak for them. The Abolition cowards who
fled from the Cumberland Valley on the ap
proach of the Confederate army, and- came to
Harrisburg, venting their spleen upon braver
men than themselves—Copperheads as they
call them—who remained at home, ready to
defend themselves and their State, may take a
lesson from the following, which we find in the
Philadelphia Inquirer, (an administration pa
per,) of the 30th :
Hon. Charles J. Biddle, it appears by the
following letter from Judge Woollward, has
resigned the appointment of Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, ** in or
der to give, as a private soldier, or in any
sphere that may be open to him, his whole
exertions for the defense of one invaded Com
monwealth." We take pleasure in giving
prompt recognition to this patriotic course of
Col. Biddle, and we invite public attention to
it as an example worthy to be followed. The
services of an experienced and brave soldier,
se Col. Biddle proved himself to be, both in
this war and in that against Mexico, will be of
grea t value to the State in this season of un
precedented Twil
it is, perhaps, necessary for the information
of those who pay butt little attention to party
affairs in these momentous times, to explain
that the reason why Judge Woodward is writ
ten to on the subject, is that he is the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, and, therefore,
the person who will be most affected by the
resignation of the Chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee,
Hon. Cnanixs J. Banns—Dear Sir : I have
received the communication of your wish "to
resign the position of Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, in order to
give as a private soldier, or in any sphere that
may be open to you, yqur whole exertions for
the defense of our invaded Commonwealth."
its the chairmanship was accepted by yott
with the =preen understanding that it, was not
to prevent your compliance with any call to
military servibe which you might deem obliga
tory upon you, I cheerfully consent, so far as
1 have any interest in your movements, to your
resort to arms in defense of the State. Indeed,
much as I regret to lose your services at the
head of the Committee, I nevertheless earnestly
desire you to go, and, if possible, to take with
you men enough to expel the invaders from
our borders.
The Governor's proclamation of the 26th
instant is a specific demand for State defense.
'You will be mustered into the service of the
State," he says, "for the period of ninety days,
but will be required to serve only so much of
that period of the muster as the safety of our
people and honor of our State may require."
There ought to be such an instant uprising of
young men in response to this call as shall be
sufficient to assure the public safety and to
teach the world that no hostile foot can with
impunity tread the soil of Pennsylvania.
I am, very truly, yours,
GEOBGE W. WOODWARD..
Philadelphia, 29th June, 1863.
The patriotic exhortation of Judge Wood
ward will undoubtedly meet a hearty reeperAee
from all parts of the Btate. The danger of a
speedy return of the foe is imminent, and
nothing but an uprising of the people can save
us from desolatioit.
,Arming the Negroes.
Our PrUncial Governor—we presume by
order of the' authorities at Washington—hee
armed and equipped two companies of netrOdd in
our midst. This is in clear violatiOn of the
usage and laws of the State, which a Governor
de facto would have felt himself bound by his
oath to respect. But, independent of other con
siderations, we look upon it as impolitic and
unwise, for the reason that it might, and may
Still, bring upon us terrible ealatnitien. It was
impolitic white the rebels were thundering at
our doors, because, bad they captured the city,
4L13 many feared they would,,and some of their
number been shot by the negroes, they would
doubtless have been so much: e xasperated as
not only to destroy the negrciii . but give the
city up to sack and pillage Ina destruction.
It was unwise, because many of 'these negroes
are drunken, disorderly and vicious, have been
under the surveillance of the police for a long
time, and have only been prevented from com
mitting depredations upon 'the property of
citizens by the vigilance of Barney Campbell,

While on special duty their captains; _ : to whom
we attribute the best of motives, iipty, and
doubtless will, control them ; but when not
on duty, they go' to their respective homes,
still retaining their arms; and we ask every
intelligent man in the eeminunity if there is
not great danger, under tire circumstances, of
a collision between, them - and the citizens or
the -police; which may result in a fearful riot?
Should each an event occur, the natural an
tagonism of race would be strengthened, and
it must inevitably result in serious injury to
the blacks themselves, besides the loss of life
and the disturbance of the public potioo.
We have every kindly consideration for the
negroes in their proper planes, but cannot con
sent to have them, under any circumstances,
placed upon an equality with white men,
whether in civil or military capacity, and, we
doubt not, that is the feeling of a large major

name of order end the maintenance of the
public peace, against having these negroes in
our midst with arms in their hands.
If our Provincial Governor desires to cater
to the mad folly of Abolition fanaticism, by
making from Pennsylvania another John Brown
raid “Into the heart of the rebellion," let him
send the negroes who desire to carry arms to
West Chester, where. a camp is being formed
by "Massa Lincom." We do not want them
here.
In this connection 'we With tO soy a few
words to the respectable and sane portion of
the Republicans. If you continue to arm ne
groes and endeavor to incite servile insurrec
tions in the South ; if you permit such ruffians
as Jim Lane and Montgomery to go on steal
ing and destroying private property, burning
towns and desolating the fair fields through
which they pass, can you hope always to es
cape a similar vandalism at the hands of the
Southern soldiers ? It is not in human nature
to endure forever such outrages without retali
ation. The imagination cannot conceive of a
picture more horrible than a war conducted on
these principles, which invariably results in
burning towns, ravished WOlneli, desolated
States, and a fiendish carnage, revolting to
humanity, christianity and civilization.
Let the party in power be wise in time, and
driving from their councils the mad fanatics
who are fast bringing about this state of things,
be guided by the advice of patriots and data
men, conduct the war according to the usages
of civilized nations, and we may yet escape
these terrible calamities.
The Awful Condition of the Country
- . Who are Responsible
The New York Herald, a paper which has
rendered a vonoietent and persistent support to
the National administration, has the following,
which we commend to the attention of all our
readers:
Three years ago this country was the envy
of the world. Thirty millions of people of all
classes, conditions, religions and nativities
were living happily together under the freest
government upon the face of the earth. The
poor and the oppressed of all nations found a
refuge upon our shores. Our flag was known
and respected in every land and on every sea.
Our commerce bore to distant climes the pro
ducts of our soil and of our manufactures, and
brought us in exchange ail the comforts and
luxuries we could desire. To be an American
citizen was so great an honor that even the
aristocrats of Europe showed us especial fa-
Toed a nd wanted our representatives with dis
tinguished consideratiort. We had just Sent
France her Emperor and Italy her Liberator,
after having received and protected these illus
trious exiles. - The future King of England
had visited us to-see for himself the supreme
greatness and happiness of a free people under
a government of their own choice. Peace,
contentment and prosperity at home—admira
tion, envy and honor abroad—in these words
r 4-- '
pictured the condition of the United Staten
three years age.
To day one half the country is in rebellion
against the Government. Three hundred thou
sand American soldiers are arrayed against
each ether around the national capital The
loyal armies are destroying publics and private
property at the Booth, and
hivedingand devaet a ti„ - the rebel armies are
g the North. The flames
of burning towns and villages are answered by
1 the red glare of burning ships. Our commerce
is almost totally destroyed, and what is left of
it has abandoned our flag and sought safety
beneath the British ensign. Rebel pirates in
fest the seas, ravage our coasts cnd dare to
enter our harbors. Fifty millions of dollars
worth of property was destroyed or paptured
in Maryland and Pennylvania last week, and
our losses elsewhere are double that sum.
Thousands of brethren who lived in amity and
p eace three years ego.heve since been slain by
fratricidal hatsde and now sleep beneath the
sod. The national currency has depreciated
until gold is at an enormous premium. The
necessaries of life command extravagant prices.llll3loßED CABINET AND AWAIT CHANGES

the highest importance.
President Juarez and his Cabinet have con

THE. CAPTURE OF STORES BY STUART'S CAVALRY.
WASHINGTON, June 30, 1863 —The Republi
can this afternoon published the following
semi-official account of the capture of com
missary stores by Stuart's cavalry on Sunday
hibt
The commissary commissary stores captdred by the rebels
on Sunday morning were nut at Edwards' Fer
ry, as stated yesterday, but six miles this side
of that place, on board the canal barges. They
were in charge of Captain Granger, of the
Commissary Department. He lett Edwards'

direction, and came down to a point nett'. Sen

The supplies consisted chiefly of hard bread
The rebels, who said they had subsisted six
days on two days rations, made haste to sup

to secure what little coffee, sugar and other
useful articles were on board the barges. In

by the route taken.
The rebel officers were very much alarmed
for fear of being met or overtaken by General
Pleasanton's forces. The fear of encounterieg
a force of the Union troops is the reason, prob
ably, wby the raiders did nct, destroy the rail
road between here and Baltimore, and also
why they did not stop to do much damage to
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, between Bal

repaired and is now in good running order.

A GREAT BATTLE
WASHINGTON, June 30.—The information re

apprehension of any obstruction of the railroad
between Washington and Baltimore. It is
definitely ascertained that like cavalry expedi

ty on Stiiiclay last, has left the neighborhood;
and after doing slight damage to the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad at Sykesville and Marriotts
villa, hurried northward to join the main body
of Lee's army.
The indications are that Lee haii recalled his
marauders from all the points where they were
recently scattered, and is concentrating all his
forces to resist the attack of General 14Ieade's
army, which is believed to be imminent.

the propriety of evacuating the heights. He
sent for Col. Reynolds, our a ineof; and
asked him what the object was in h 'ng the
heights? The Colonel replied that h had
often asked the same question and never got
a satisfactory answer. Gen. Hooker then
issued an order that the place should be evacu

guns AB could not be taken away should be
destroyed, and the stores removed. Immedi

what he had done, whereupon he received a
dispatch in reply countermanding the order,
and saying that the fortifications had cost too
much to be given np unless under the most
urgent necessity. He considered Harper's

enough— , g What is the use in. holding .on to

BERRI. ACCOUNTS.
MANCHESTER, TENN., June 28.—The Chatta
nocga, Ma, in an exultant editorial on the
rebel situation, says
At no time within the past two years has the
horizon of the Confederates States uprisen in
such splendor as now, when from Vicksburg,
Virginia and Middle Tennessee harbinger days
of peace seem to burst in harmonious lustre
from the long night of war. To drive Genet al
Grant out of Mississippi, invest, the Yankee
capital from Maryland, invade Penneylvania
and defeat Gen Romans are present objects,
The Rebel thinks " the prospects were never
better for the consummation of these legitimate
and possible contingencies," and says: • "As
we at Nance into the North the troubled spirits
of democracy must be told that our object is
peace, and that when one independence is re
cognized we will lay down our arms. Mr. Va -
landighom will tell them so ; but let our gov

men's in that city and Brooklyn. Th.-y will

(milieus.
A Good Idea.
The New York World has the following,
which we consider good applying as it does as
well to Pennsylvania as to the other States of
the Union:
"In response to the call of Governor Tod for
troops to repel the threatened invasion of Lee,
the Democratic convention of Coshocton ecun
ty, which was in-session, resolved unanimously
that Governor Tod be requested 'to send the
United States troops now oppressing the loyal
people of Coshocton, Knox and Holmes coun
ties to repel the invaders; and that our young
men be requested to volunteer to prevent the
yowl of rebel troops upon the soil of Ohio.'
"This was good advice. There are probably
80,000 troops now located in various points in
Gits‘Western States who might have been in the
fieleAut for the outrages of Burnside and.
nascali....The only way to conquer the North,
as the administration will find, is first to con
quer the South. It is monstrous to be keep
ing troops in Ghia to put down the 'people of
that State, when thhy are so much needed 41:1
the field."
All the gamblers in Cincinnati have been or
dered to leave within Afteen days.
GRASS FED INDIANS.—One of the Califor
nia journals has the following statement rela
tive to a new kind of food adopted by the
"Digger Indians," as they are called :—"Tbere
are two considerable Indian villages in the
vicinity at the present tine, and the Indians,
who looked as lean and gaunt as half-famished
wolves during the past winter, now appear en
joying all the luxuries that an abundant supply
of beetand bread eon Afford_ The hills in the
vicinity are verdant with nice tender clover,
which is devoured by these poor savages with
as much gusto as an epicure would devour a
most dainty dish. They gather the clover in
baskets and prepare it for use by heating large
stones and placing a layer of clover well mois
tened between each layer Of stones. It soon
becomes ready for use, and each one of them
will eat a supply of clover thus prepared that
would almost supply a horse."
