We'plece theee charges on record—who will attempt to controvert them Gov Curtin and hia friende, with their none bare-faced impudence, olaim that his adminis tration has exercised wonderful economy, and roundly assort that he was InstrUmental in the recent reduction of the State debt through the agency of . the Sinking Fund. Neer RIB a claim made that had leas foundation in fact, as we shall he able to demonstrate to the sat isfaction of every tax paper who desires to know the truth. Not long sinee, the Commiesioners of the Sinking Fund, comprising the AnditorGeneral, State Treasurer and Secretary of the Common wealth, notified the Governor that they had paid off some nine hundred theustuuldollars of the State debt, *hereupon the Governor; as required by law, issued .his proclamation, an nouncing the caneellation andiextinguishment of, the amount of debt certified to him' as 'paid by these Commiosionera. This was the begin ning and the end, •the sum and substance of Governor Ourtli's *gene" in this transaction. Re had no more to do with the creation of•the Sinking Fund and, appreprieting money to the oancellstion of the Suite debt,: theatile Empe ror of China; and not half eci ninth to do with, putting money into the Trenatley as with taking it out to laviehupon his shoddy associates and needy partisann. ' , Now let us see who deserves the credit for proposing and creating this Sinking Fund, through the operation of widolt . porti9n of State debt is , annually extinguished. •At ,the session of the Legillature of 1856; Charles R. Dudek*, then a Member of the State Renate, and now Demooratio member of the Mailed States Senate, ,proposed certain amendments to the Constitution, and among. thern the Sec tion creating a. Sinking Fund. .These sinned menta were , adopted by the Democratic Legis lature of- 1858,.again adopted by the Demo cratic Legislature of 1857, submitted to the vote of the people at the election of 18 5 7, adopted and made part of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, In the followieg words: " To provide for the payment of the present debt and any .additieeed debt Controlled so aforesaid, the Legislature shall; at its first ses sion after the adopt* of thine:mud:fleet, nee ate a Sinking Fund, which, shall , be Butrufietat to pay the accruing interest on such debt,' and annually to reduce. tho principal! 'thereof by a Bum not less than $250,000 ; which Sinking Fund shall consist of the net annual income of the public , works, from time to tinie owned by the State, or the, proceeds of ,the - sale of the same, or any part thereof, and of the income or proceeds of sale of stocks owned by the State, together with ether funds ,or resources that m 1 4- be deelealed by law. The Bad Sinking ktunfmay he increased, from time to timc, by assigning to it any part of ,the taxes,:or other revenues of the. State, not required for the orthnary, and current expenses of and uniees in case of war, invasion or insur rection, no part of the said Sinking Fund shall be used or applied otherwise than in extinguish ment of •the public debt, until the: amount of I such debt is redttaad below the , sum' of Ave millions of dollars." . In accordance with the amendment' lo the Constitittion, the Legislature of 1858, passed an act assigning certain revenue to the Oink ing Fund, and directing their application:to the payment of the interest and principal of the Slate debt. , Among tke-reienuee thus; applied to the Sinking Fund we find tonnage , fax paid by radroadit. Will Governor Curtin-'deny that he was instrumental in depriving the Sinking Fund of this some. of revenue, amounting to more than $BOO,OOO annually, and that he ap proved of a bill the Tonnage Taal? We have thus establiehed beyond controversy that the Sinking Fund Wan Mated ,by the aka stitution.-that revenues were assigned it by the Legislature as directed by the Constitution, and that so tar from having any agency, even the most remote, in putting money into thia Sink ing Fund, Governor Certin has, by his action helped to take out, revenues amounting to more than Tian& Iteltlenn .TnetigAND How absurd then to claim for him the pecu liar glory of having paid off a million of the State -debt, when the truth is, that hie ally sfency in the matter was to issue a proclama tion announcing the amounit liquidated through the operation of a Sinking Fund, created long before.his official existence commenced. The disastrous defeat of Gen. - Roseorans is fully confirmed. He has fallen back upon Chattanooga, after sustaining a fearful loss in killed and wounded: fie was overwhelmed by numbers, and . after as desperate a Struggle as it was possible for men to make, his shattered columns were forced to retreat. •Roseorans, safe, as we trust, in Chattanooga, may, when joined by Burnside, be soon in a condition to agaitt advance.. But this will hot bring to life the dead uselessly slain, or restore the limbs of the minted. at this time Ile more terrible disaster could have befallen us ; and what makes it the'more to be regretted is the 'fact that timely reinforcement would have prevent. edit.

A private letter from the American Minis ter, Mr. Prnyn, datad Hanagawa, Japan, Aug. 10, says that the prompt resentment of the out rage ,npon our flag ,has milted most favorably.

THE lINION, "These States (I,i:4Th-rift s in their individuality, but `their collective glories are in the Union. By all means, at all hazards, are they to be main tained in their integrity an'd the full ntearart of their.constitutional rights for. only so is the Union to be preserved—only so is it worth preserving. It is the perfection of the prismatic colors, which blended, produce the ray of light. It, is the' com pleteness of these assembled sovereignties, lacking nothing which they have not lent for a great pur pose, that makes the Union precious. This word Union; is a word of gracious omen. It implies confidence and affection—mutual support and-pro tection against external dangers. It is the chosen expression of the strongest paesion ofyoung hearts. It is the charmed circle within which the family dwells. It is man helping his fellow-man in this rugged, world. It is States, perfect in themselves, confederated for mutual advantage. It is the peo ple of States, separated by lines, and interests, and institutions, and usages, and laws, all forming one glorious nation—all Onoviv onward to the same sublime destiny, and all instinct with - acommon life. Our fathers pledged their lives, their for tunes, and their sacred honors, to form this Union —let mire be pledged to maintain it."—Quo. W. WOODWARD, July 4, 1851. _ i Extract from the decision of Judge `Pooh- WARD sustaining the stay ,law passed by. our Legislature in favor of the soldier: "Now, if a stay of execution for three years would not be tolerated in ordinary UM* did not • these circumstances constitute an emergency that justified the . pushing of legislation to the extremest limit of the Constitution P No eitit on , co uld be blamed for volunteering. He was invoked to do so by appeals as strong as his lobe of country. In the nature of things Moo is nothing unreasonable in exempting a soldier's property from execution whilet he is absent froth -honie battling for the supremacy'of the Constitution 'andthe integrity of the Union. And when he has. not run before ht. vas sent, but has yielded himself up to the call of country, his self-sacrificing' patriotism pleads, trumpet-tongued, for ,all the indulgence front his creditors which the Legislature have power to gra n?. If the term of indulgence seem long in this instant-, it toms not longer than the time for which the Pre &mit and Congress demanded the soldier's ser. vices." NATIVE AMERICANIS3I.
