Wa need money badly, and It will be a very great rc lief tout If our friends arid patrons will furnish us with a little of tho "needful" without delay. If they cannot fay all, let tbem at least give us a part of that to which ivs are justly entitled. In order to relieve us from our embarrassments. We think we hare been very indul. gent, and therefore hope to meet with a ready response to what we conceive to be a reasonable request Wc shall beprcparedtorecchoourfricnds at the office, and fur nlilt them promptly with receipts forwhatcver amounts they may desire, persons at a distance, and those re siding out of the county, can remit by mall at our risk. Come, friends, give us a lift without longer delay, as we must have money to keep the old Columoia Democrat In motion. Tall Rye. Mr. Reubes T.

The donations to be left at tho stores of A. J. Sloan, E.- Mendenhall or at McKelvy's. We hopo thcro will bo an early and gen erous response to this invitation. The ladies hero will prepare and forward all material of the kind at once. Thb Chops. Our exchanges through out tho Stato give tho most flattering ac counts of tho crops. All through Perm sylvania tho wheat crop is more than an average ono, and has been harvested in good condition. The hay, although not heavy, is of an unusually good quality. The corn and potatoes arc somewhat back ward, but they look well, and tho recent general showers will issuo a good product. With the exception of fruits, thcro will be in Pennsylvania more than an average crop this year. Oration by Hon. M. E. Jackson The citizens of Berwick and vicinity held a "Union Celebration" on the Fourth of July, in the Grove, near Evansvillo. Wo learn by tho ''Berwick Gazttte," that it was a magnificent Celebration, and that all things were transacted in decency and good order, and to general satisfaction. Hon. M. E. Jackson, was tho principal Orator of the Bay, and those who had the plasuro of hearing his Address, inform us that it was a well-adjusted, tastefully arranged and thoughtfully worded histor ical and national production delivered in plain diction and comprehensive language and merited as it received tho universal approbation of his intelligent audience.

Wo h avo a warm feeling for tho Col. and under ordinary circum stances would rejoice in his success.

Tho following principles, laid down by Mr. Jefferson in his Inaugural Address, now moro than sixty years ago, havo al ways been, and aro still, tho doctrines hold by the Democratic parly. We don't know whether wc shall bo charged with treason aud threatened with "halter" and "gibbet" for publishing the creed, but shall run the risk of that anyhow. So hero goes at a venture: Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever stato or persuasion, religious or political ; Tho support of tho Stato governments in all their rights as tho surest bulwarks against an ti-republican tendencies; A mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by tho sword of revolu tion, whero peaceful, remedies aro unprovi ded ; A generous spirit of concession aud com promiso, tho vital principlo of Republics, without which there must bo an appeal to force, tho vital principlo and immediate parent ot Despotism j Tho supremaoy of tho civil over tho millitary authority ; Economy in tho publio expense, that la bor may bo lightly burdened j Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of press, and froodom of tho per son under tho protection of the habeas cor pus, and trial by juries impartially selected. If any havo wandered from theso princi ples in moments of error or of alarm, let them hasten whilst tho-forms of our beloved Republic yet remain, to rctraco their steps and to regain the road which alono leads1 to Peace, Liberty and Safety. The President's Messaob. The messago of Abraham Lincoln, wherein he declares that it yet remains for the people "to demonstrate to tho world that those who can fairly carry an election can also suppress a rebellion," is a deliberate, stud- ied insult to tho Democracy of tho entire North. Mr. Lincoln ought to know that the men who carried the election last fall, aud thereby inaugurated civil war, are not uow in tho ranks of tho army which has been called out to support tho Government. He ought to know that a very large pro- portion of that army aro men who voted against him who detest his dootrir.es,and who regard them asdaugcrous to the pcaco of tho country, and inimical to American freedom. They are thcro not to support a Black Republican Administration, but to maintain and uphold tho Government un der which they livo. Col .James Cameron. Tho reported death of Col. Cameron, who gallantly fell at tho head of his regiment on Sunday last, will cause a deep feeling of regret to his numerous friends irt tho country. Col. 0. was of a warm hearted, generous disposi tion : modest and unobtrusive in his man ners, but firm and decided in all his under takings, and tho 70th N.

Now, as treason is a capital crime, it stands to rea son that to charge a man with it who i) not guilty of it, merely from political animosi' ty, or to damage him of his busiues by creating a violent prejudice against him throughout tho community, is a highly ao tionablo offence, and if tho perpetrators aro not taught this experience, it will be be causo they aro treated much more forboar ingly than they treat others.

The rebels then (led, and some of thorn wero seen afterwards quietly at work in their fields as though nothing had happened, Gon. Harris was not in the fight, but was looking on at a safe distance. A still later and olacial dispatch from Col, McNeil, states that ho had met Harris and completely routed him. Our loss, he says, is twelvo wounded. Harris' force is considerably diminished.

Ceniuevh.le, Va., July 18, Evening, The Crst engagement of any character what ever in eastorn Virginia, during this cam paign, toook place at Bull's Run, four miles south of Centreville, this afternoon. General Taylor's division encamped last night a few miles cast of Centreville, and this morning proceeded towards that point, Ccntrevillo was passcd in safety, and tho troops turned from tho Little river turnpike road to tho Manassas road. On the road in formation was received that a masked bat tery was planted on tho left of tho road ahead, and Col, Richardson, in command of tho Fourth brigado, was ordered to reeon noitor, while the remainder of tho division remained in tho village of Centreville. Col. Richardson proceeded with three companies of the Massachusetts First, being the JCel sey company of Fusileers and the National Guards, Thoy passed an open ravine, and again entered tho road, which was densely sur rounded by woods, whonthey wcro recoived by a raking fire from tho left, killlug a num ber of tho advance.

After tho latest information was recoived from CentrcviUe, at half past seven o'clock last night, a soriss of ovents took ploco in an intense degrco disastrous. Many confused statements are provalent, but enough is known to warrant tho state ment that we have suffered in a degrco which has cast a gloom over the remnant of tho army, and excited tho deepest melan choly throughout Washington. Tho car nage has been tremendously heavy on both sides. We wero advancing and taking tho mask ed batteries gradually but surely, and dri ving the enemy towards Manassas Junction, when tho enemy scemod to bo reinforced by Gen Johnston, nnd immediately commenced driving us back, when n panio among our troops suddenly occurred, and a regular stampede took place. It is thocght that Gen. McDowell under took to make n stand at or about Centreville, but tho panic was so fearful that tho whole army became demoralized, and it was im possible to check them cither at Ccntrevillo 6r Fairfax Court Hiusc. Geu. McDowell iotendod to retreat beyond Fairfax Court House. Tho retreat was kept up until tho men reached their regular on canipmcnts, a portion of whom returned to them, but a still larger portion coming in sido the entrenchments. A largo numbor of tho troops in their ro treat fell on tho waysido from exhaustion, and scattered along tho entire route, all tho way from Fairfax Court Houso. "iho road from Bull's Run to Centreville was strewod with knapsacks, arms, etc. Somo of tho troops deliberately threw away their guns and nppurtcnanccs, tho better to facilitate their travel. Gen. McDowell was in the rear at the re treat, oxorting himself to rally his tnoi,but with only partial effect. Tho latter part of tho army, it Is said, mado their retreat in good order. Ho was completely exhausted, having slept but little for throo nights. His ordors on .the field did not at all times roach those for whom they wero intended. It is supposoi that tho forca sent ngainst our troops consisted, according to a prison er's statement, of about 00,000 men, inclu ding a largo number of cavalry. He fur ther says, that owing to tho reinforcemonts from Richmond, Strawsburg', nnd other points, tho cnomy's effective forco was 90,000 According to tho statement of tho Eiro Zouaves they havo only about 200 men loft from tho slaughter. Tho Sixty-ninth New York, nnd other regiments, havo suffered frightfully in killed and wounded. Such of tho wohndol as wero brought to tho Ccntrevillo Hospital woro left;thcro af ter having their wouuds properly dressed. Tho Surgeon in attendance thcro was Frank II. Hamilton. Tho panlo was so great that tho attempt to rally thorn to a stand at Centrovillo was entirely in vain. If a firm stand had been mado there our troops could havo been made reinforced and much disaster prevented. General McDowell was thus foiled in his well arranged plans. It is supposed that all the provision trains belonging to the U. S. govcrnmeut wero saved. Some regiment wagons wcro overturned by accident, or the wheels came off, and therefore had to be abandoned. Largo droves of cattlo wero saved by bo ing driven in the advance of tho retreat. FUIITHUR PARTICULARS OF THE BATTLE AND RETREAT. Washington, July 22, It is estimated that only 20.000 of our troops in all wero engaged, nnd not moro than 15,000 at any ono time. All communication with Alexandria has been stopped, to prevent tho soldiors from crossing tiio Potomac. Tho returned soldiers aro completely worn nut. They complain of wout of food, hav ing had nothing to cat after breakfast yos terday, nnd that thoy woro kept in tho fight during tho cntiro engagement, while tho rebel strength was constantly supplied with fresh troops. Tho whole battle on tho centre column was within n radius of a mile. Itisbeleived that tho rebels abandaned some of their battories for tho purposo of do cnying the attacking forco to advanco to a position whero a double firo could bo direct ed at them aud sweep thoir lines. , Tho following particulars havo been re ceived fiom a gentleman who accompanied tho Eighth New York rcgimont : Tho men reached tho field after a fatigueing march of nino hours, and immediately attacked the enemy. The rebel batteries were concealed as well as their infantry, while our men movod steadily forward without being ablo to direct their tire with as telling a result as if thoy had been ii tho open field. None of tho field or staff officers of the Eighth regi ment wero injured. Lieutenant M. II, Wall, of company B, roocivod a slight wound from an oxplodod shell. Captain Griffin of company E, is sup posed to be a prisoner. Surgeon Simpty, Assistant Surgeon G.Winslow and Assistant Surgeon O. S. Degrnus, of tho 8th N. York nobly surrendered themsofvos soonor than leave thoir woundod comrades. In tho grand retreat many of tho Gair baldiaHS acted liko savages firing in every direction. On their run to Fairfax country houses wcro invaded, and innocent persons maltreated. They seem to havo been com pletely crazed in their rage over the repulse. Sherman's battery, or the groator part of it, has returned to the city. Tha reason why tho other batteries wore taken was be cause the horses attached, as well as tho reserve horses, wors shot down rendering their removal impossible. Varison's batteiy will be mustered out of service at New York.where it will arrive to. taorrow afternoon. The battery will bo re ceived In Now York by tho homo Guard un- dcr tho eoinmauuni uapv. u. a iii,i. LATER, Washington, July 22. Tho Rhode Island battery was taken by tho rebclsntthc bridge across Bull's Run, whero their rotreat was cut off, nil tho horses being killed. It ts roportcd that tho rebel black horso cavalry mnao an nnui; s i , r retreatlng nrmy.whon tho latter turned and fired killing all but six of tho pirty. In Iho lato battle only about 20.000 of our troops wcro engaged. Gen. McDowc. com manded tho ccntre.Col. Hunter tho left and Gen. Tyler the light.
