W. WOODWARD, July 4, 185 I . Tin WlMPwary &Teets of Mime!pawn '•A letter from Nashville, Tenn., says the ne gro camps of refugees—women, old men and children—are in a sad condition ; disease and disorder prevailing, and the poor creatures dytng by the hundreds. No one seems to have a ny aupervisioh over or concern for them. But then havn't they got • Liberty ?' What• more do they want? asks the N. Y. Express." The Vlore is but a glimpse of the practioql 0604 of negro philanthropy. The able-bodied men forced into the army, end the old men, women and onildren left to die of disease con tracted from want of care and an unsuitable climate. For the present.'government furnishes them rations at The ozonee of the whit* poo pie of the North; but' thbi hattoot continue always, and when this support. is withdrawn, they must become inmates of our jails and aboashtuses, or die of starvation. ' Bat then therare. free, and their masters, Who would have provided for their old arts comfortable home, - ere tilled or driven trout their plenta- WWI, and that is as far as Abolition philan thropy ever goes. He has destroyed or plan'. IM3 1"To be addzeneed by dered the master, what cares be for the slave? Looking beyond this, the war must at length sane to an end, and the wilt soldier. coming North, and dischargel from service, must, in order to live, enter into competition with white labor, and by cheapening its value, to a certain extent, usurp its place ; or, failing in this, commit depredations on sonitty, which will arouse the natural antagonism of rage, and're stilt in their destruction. In the South the negro cannot live except in the coindition of slavery, and if the relation of master and slave is suddenly disturbed, it must result in hie ex termination. Such is Abolition philanthropy. Gov Canlots Promise.. Governor Curtin has already practically abandoned the duties of the Executive office, and will devote all his time, from now until the day of 0104 ton—time whieh belongs to the Commonwealth and should be spent in the dis charge of official dttties—in perambulating the State and trying to persuade the people to re:. sleet him. Of course the Governor will be profuse in premises, and blow his own trumpet with the blast of a Mentor. The time was when the promises of a Governor of Pennsylvania were fulfilled to the letter, and no stain of dis honor milled the reputation of the Chief Mag istrate of the Keystone State. Official pride, if nothing more, was a guarantee of good faith. But this was before Curtin became Governor. Hi promises are as worthless as divans' oaths. He eau give the most solemn assurances, and then forfeit his word with a calm depravity that argues exceedingly obtuse moral perceptions, to put the very mildest face upon it, That we are not speaking at random, we quote the following passage from a special mes sage sent by Governor Curtin to the last Legis lature on the day of final adjournment "To be called a freeman of Pennsylvania is, henceforth, to have a title of honor wherever loyalty, patriotism and the martial virtues are cherished. his to be observed, moreover, that the labors white I hive nem:leerily undergone have already impaired my health. should have serious cause to apprehend that a much longer continuance of them might so break it. down as to render me unable to fulfil the du ties of my position. silt io to be aided, that ae the approaching season will, probably, be the most eventful pe rind in the history of the country, I will be able with snore effect to discharge my duties, if I avoid being made Me centre of an came ingitical "Under these circumstances, it. has pleased the President of the United States to tender me a high position at the expiration of my pratfalt term of lane, and I hare not felt my self at liberty to do otherwise than accept this offer. As shall. for all these reasons, retire from (Sim at the close of my present term, I have thought this a not inappropriate mode of announ elva, the fact." • Such were the parting words of Gov. Curtin to the Legislature of 1863. He took special pains to impress the Legislature and the peo ple with the conviction that he would not be a candidate for re-election, and gave two reasons for this conclusion—first, his failing health, and second, that he had been tendered and ac cepted a high position from the President. This announcement was received with pleasure by a majority of the Repuhlican members of the Legislature,who dreaded the re-nomination of Curtin as the prelude to certain defeat of their party, and looked to the nomication of a new man, whose record would not render him so odious to the people as that. which Curtin had contrived to make for himself. The ink on the paper containing this with. drawal was scarcely dry, however, before Gov. Curtin commenced operating to secure his re nomination—not openly. in the broad daylight, but in the secret and hidden bye-ways of po litioal chicanery. Having idnilfdateeed an opiate to his rivals and put them comfortably to sleep, he had the field to himself, and was making hes Away while his enemies remained in unconitiodo . klub:that.. They awoke to the oonsesiouiness of how they had been duped when it was too late. They were caught in the net cunningly spread for them. They be-. !Wed the words of Curtin and were deceived, as every man deserves to be who relies up on his promises. • • • That. we do not judge Gov. Curtin more harshly than the record warrants in pronoun. (Oughts withdrawal an intention' eland premedi tated piece of decer ion practiced upon the people of Pennsylvania, as well as upon the adverse leaders in his own •party, we point to circumstances so strongly corroborative of this view that they mu.tt be conclusive to every im partial mind. In the first place, he never pub licly announced that he had reconsidered his withdrawal and was again a candidate, but allowed the people to remain under the impres sion produced by the special message that he would not Wept of a lrenotoination. Had his wtthdrawal been sincere at the time, and after circumstances induced him to change his mind, justice to himself and to the public woult have impelled him to make the taut of his being a candidate se public as his withdrawal. No honorable into could have allowed himself to remain in a false position before the public for a single day ; hut Guy, Curtin permitted the false impression to remain until he had ac complished his purpose by securing his re nomination. In the next place, Gov. Curtin's moa t active Mantas aria she newspapers repro heating his interests, knowing that he was a candidate, remained obstinately and suspi ciously silent. Even the Telegraph, edited by an appointee of Gov. Curtin, eodetvored in vain to extort from some of hie ootfidaute an assurance that he was not a candidate, and in sisted that he had sol mnly given his word that he was sot, and ait.te bound in honor to adhere to the promise contained in his special message. If that message was not a trick, why so much secrecy ? Why such quiet, under handed work? Why did not Gov. Curtin say that he was a candidate, or why did the lrico44 studiously refrain from annouocing his candidsoy ? Let them explain this mystery if they can, and show it to he consistent with ordinary iptegrity and fair de Cling. No straightforward man, no man of average hon esty and honer, would allow his name to be coupled with a transparent fraud, as Gott. Cur tin has done. With this damning record Staring him in the face, how can Gov. Curtin present bimeelf before the honb4t people or Penney and• ask their suffrages ? How can he summon the trizen assurantO to pot g people to coufide in his promises, when the nos of his perfidy . is engraves. upon the public records. 11.,w dare• he look nun full in the toe who know that he promised them n to ben OtinctiCiate when he was a candidate ? • Union League secrete. A correspondent of the New Hampshire State Sentinel, woo sesames to have penetrated the odious mysteries of the order, sends the following as a portion of the instructions given to the initiated: When you first meet a member, present your left hand and say : '• Elow are you, Major? - Answer—.' Conifers akly well." Are you a member I our Union League ?" Answer—" Prove me." How shall I prove yon ? " Answer—•' By positions." Here comes in what might be called a com mand, for the person asking the question above set forth; says : + Take positions and I'll call them." - The person who ausWers the question then raises his left hand perpendicularly over his head, at which time yeu say. " Washington." He then drops his arm to a horizontal position, and you say, "Jefferson." He then drops his left hand on the left thigh and you say, "Jack son." He then raises his left hand to his breast, and you say. "Union." He then joins the thumb and third finger of his left hand; at this time you mut.t also join the thumb and third finger, as be does; then both of your hands meet, and you put your thumb and third finger inside his and you say, " League."— , All this is done in a shorter - time than I can tell you. Women it member is going into the lodge, the password at the first door is "Eternal Vigi- Japes ; " at the second door, " Is the Price of Le berry." When a member enters the lodge, he salutes the President by holding up his left fore finger. When he leaves the lodge he holds up his right band two fore fingers. When a Union League man gets into a tight at night. be Cries out, "Hi ! Hi! " If any of the trotbers are around, and willing to assist him, they cry out, "What, what." It wool'. seem that the veritable old Know- Nothing dodge of 1854 is already revived for the coming campaign, with the addition, per haps, that the new Know-Nothing order of " Loyal Leaguers" are to be all armed with Enfield rifle muskets. Thus the Sheds. will strive to kill two birds with one stone—to per petuate themselves in political power, where they can continue to dip into the public depos itory for greenbacks, and, at the same time, "realize" on hundreds of thousands of Uncle Sam's best arms. If anybody hears the excla mation of "Hi ! Hi!• " on a dark night, he may be sure there has been a meeting of the "League," and that some cowardly Leaguer has insulted a "Copperhead" and got hie head punched for his impudence. In such a case stand still and don't interfere, unless you hear more than a dozen "What, what's," for a sin gle Democrat "so strongly armed in honesty" can whip at least . a dozen of these evil-minded midnight conspinttors. Consistency One of the most curious features of the pre sent campaign is the desperate measures which the friends of our provincial Governor resort to, in their endeavor to secure votes for his re election. They falsely accuse Judge Wood ward of Nativeism,, and on that account coolly ask eilizens of foreign birth to vote for An drew G. Curtin, a leading member of the pros cription order of linow•Nothings, a part.y•that not only tried to disfranchise foreigners until they had been in the country twenty-one years, and deprive them through life from holding any office of trust and profit under our govern ment, but proscribed them on account of their religion, and raise mobs to burn churches, de stroy nunneries, and no doubt had they been tv:ile to prolong and, strengthen their power would have imprisoned or tortured every one who differed with them in opitiiiiti Oil matters of faith. Then they ask persons to vote against Judge Woodward because, as they . say, he attempted to disfranchise the soldier, when in fact he confirmed their right to vote at their respective places of residence, precisely as cid zeos vote, and when a short time ago they ap plauded this decision because it turned a De mocrat out of office and gave them a Sheriffin Pailadelphia. Then they ask men to vote for Curtin, because he is loyal to Abraham Lincoln and the Abolition fanatics, who, like the seces sionists of the South, are trying to destroy the Union, and vote against Justice, Woodward, who is loyal to the Union, the Constitution, and the laws, which form the government founded by our fathers. They know: that Cur tin hewn° real claims upon the suffrages of the people, and therefore they raise false issues, and andervaluitig the intelligence of the mat -see. attempt to deceive them into his suPPert: But th e people are 11,4 intelligent as they, and in October next will show them that they are not to be humbugged by any such flimsy pre texts or transparent subte, fuges.

August 81.—The Navy Depart ment has rfceived information of the capture of the brig Atlantic. by the 11 B. steamer Princess Royal, off the Rio Grande, Mexico. From the statement of Acting Master Chase, lite in command of the gunboat Antonioa, it appears tbat-tlie Atlantic bad , cotton on board; direct from the Texas shore, and the Captain of the brig told him he would swear to the fact, and if a private interview could be granted, it would be to the advantage of the United States. The Captain's singular proceeding was, he says, in consequence of a misunderstanding between him and :the parties-chartering the vessel. He states that be was taken into Key West• in this same Atlantic while bound for Trzae, by a United &awe •ete'►m vessel •s a prise, Wad lay there thirty-six days; but be was "smart enough to - fool the authorietes,” notwithatauding b 4 hod'ooatraband of war on board. He escaped from there and afterwards sued the 'United States and obtained a judgment for $10;000. He then went off and delivered his cargo all right, being sent to Brownsville, Texas, via Matamoras, Mexico. The Captain of the vessel further said, "If yon don't look oat I'll fool you again. I have been in such Nubian a long time, having run the blookade during the Russian. war, and if you are not very sharp get to windward of you again." Mr. }Taggart, of New York, now at Mats moms, can testify that the brig Atlantic pur chased her cotton at BrOwasville, Texas. The Cayuga was in sight at, the time of her capture. The Atlantic has been sent to New Orleans for adjudication. She hails from Nassau. The above facts are communicated by Commander Woolsey, of the Princess Royal. AFFAIRS IN ARKANSAS ST. Louis, August 31.—The Republican pub lishes a special dispatch from Memphis in re gard to the State of affairs in Arkahhhs, which says that then. Price, with a force of 25.000 rebels, was at Bayou Mare, a strong point on White river, fourteen miles above Derrall's Buff, where a battle was expected to be fought. Our forces are now at Dunwull's Bluff, fifty four miles from Little Rock. This point will probably be the base of supplies, as it can be reached by way of White river at the lowest stage of water. Skirmishing was continually going on, but our losses were slight. The rehel force in Southern Texas is esti mated at 18,000 Gen. Magruder had been re• inforeed, the COrieGriptiOn having been carried out to its fullest extent The rebel gunboat Grand Dike, with 500 bales of cotton aboard, had been burned at Shreveport. FURTHER NAVAL CAPTURES. WASHINGTON, August 31 r - A.ming Master Smith, commanding the steamer Bermuda, c, m municates the following captur , - s : On the 14th instant, the Dritieh schooner Carmita, loaded with 160 bales of cotton, and bound from Ye lasco, Texas, to Balize, Honduras. On the 15th, fell in with the British schooner Artist, from Nassau When hailed she said she woe from Havana for Matamoras. Having hoarded her he will informed that the eapiain was dead and there being no navigator, they had lost their reckoning. Commander Smith, however, found the chro nonoier worked up to the 15th inst._ and the octant set at meridian on that day. She was loaded with liquors, cigars, medicines, &c., and he felt justified in seizing her as a lawful prize. The President has reoogulzed Juan N. Na Yarn u Consul General ad interim, of Mexico in New York. . BATTLE AT WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS— REBEL ACCOUNT. WHITS Stitellen. SPRINGS, VS., August 27: Po Gen.

THE STEAMER RUTH Wasnthoroft, August a 0 —The investigation as to the' loss of the government funds by the horning of the Ruth has thus far developed the following facts.: Three million dollars in gov ernment bills and postal currency, with a com plete invoice, were sent to the sub-treasury at St. Louis. Of this Mrjor Brinton, paytaster, received in the 'original package $2,600,000, and the original invoice. The money was 'placed on the cabin deck of the boat, &0., di rectly over a large quantity of goal, pork, rosin, &0., which was stored on the deck be low. The guard never left the boxes, three of the solders being burned to death. The invoice was placed in 111.4j0r Brinton's private gale, The fire lasted over six neura l and the heat was intense. At the time the boat struck the shore, a MAD and his son, living near the spot, took a skiff and rowed around the boat until morning, thinking something might drift away from the wreck.
