to Lincoln ; and why did ho not add to
that, that our own majority in tho county
is 200 more than Lincoln got. That is
glory cnongh for us ; and a complete set
off to all their exertions, falsehoods and
handbills
EgyDr. John, last week, fixed up a pro
tended trial of ono of tho Democratic Nom
inees, and a3 ho thought, after having
made out a strong caso agai nst him, sub
mitted his caso to tho Jury and asked for
a Verdict on last Tuesday. Wo refer to
tho official verdict of tho People in an- out stain or reproach upon his character,

P. S.-Dr. John, it is baid, has applied why no grand jury of tho loyal city of

of its being for the Union, more especially,

lengths to which a man can go, to deceivo

Much better lament over tho falsehoods

misrepresentations resorted to, and tho doing. That township is good for a snug
laiso issues cvokcu. llow absurd its "no

which says also, speaking of tho Union
movement in Uradford . " If there are any
so " green'' as to bo led into tho trap, wo

And when in all tho Republican counties
of tho State, straight republican tickets
wero put into tho field ; and even in Now
York city straight rcpublicm municipal
nominations have been made, 1
We have long known, aud tho last num
ber of the paper affords additional evidence
of tho fact, that tho Dr. has no belief in
tho intelligence of tho peoplo, but they
must be quite us obtuso as ho thinks them
if he can inako them believe this republi

less at the feet of thoso honest and intrepid
votcw.
Dissolution.
Tho partnership concern recently organ-
izod under tho firm of Major Monroe ij-
Co., including tho Editor of tho "Smul
Machine" and sundry other small-bccr
politicians, Engineered by Rouebt F.
CiiAiiK, Esq., was run into tho ground on
last Tuesday and dissolved by general con
tent. This ouo-horso machine, as the
result of the election has shewn, was per
fectly harmless. Its dissolution did not
oven cause an csplosion.

assist Dr. John in the defeat of tho Dem
ocratic party, over-freighted tho machine
by the circulation of lying handbills, and
tho frail barque burst its boiler. This
vile attempt at rascality, at which all hon
est men will blush, is bo audacious, that
"none but itself is its own parallel."
Sharno on such fellows.
Even tho "Market Street speculators"
and tho "Canal Swindlers," wcro afraid
to put their names to tucir lying bills or
to dirty their hands with their circulation.
But they found a tool, admirably adap
ted for tho dirty business, in the person of
Jacob It. Grout. Even MaJ, Monroe
who recently baptised tho black republicans
and sworo they were now good Union
men , (which story tho people did not be
lieve by a long stretch,) it is said,is asham
ed of his poor erring brother Jacob, who
(like himself ) failing to get office has
suddenly "fallen from grace," and finally
broken his neck and is lost in the same
political ditch.

It is now evident that tho batteries a-
long tho south bank of tho Potomac havo
been erected to resist an attact upon Fred
ericksburg by tho Union army, It is un
questionably truo that they have complete
control over tho navigation of tho Potomac
between Occoquan and Matthias Point.
This has been demonstrated by the throw
ing of shell from the Freestone Point bat
tery half a milo inlandon tho Maryland
side a few days ago, and by tho experience
of our vessels, which wcro compelled by
tho battery at Acquia creek soma timo a
go to withdraw to a distance of over four
and a half miles to bo out of range of their
rifled guns, Rut although they havo tho
power to stop our navigation of tho river
with theao batteries, thoy daro not do so,
for fear of precipitating tho attact to resist
which theso liver baterics wcro erected.
Fredericksburg might bo mado an easy
prey if an army should advance in that
direction, and tho passession of Gordons
ville or Fairfax, or Culpepper Court IIousi
would bo the immediato and imavoidabh
result of tho capture of Fredericksburg
Tho Confederate army of tho Potomac
would thus be cut off from all communica
tion with Richmond and tho South, am)
bo caught like rats in a trap.

Fine Pay for Volunteers.
There never were such inducements
offered to volunteers to enlist in any army
of the world as our Government proposes
now. Resides those considerations of a
patriotic character that ought to induce
our young men to rally around our flag,
and bear it successfully through this war,
look for a moment at the pay. Supposo
a private to have served for one year, and
that being the end of tho war, his account
with tho Government, reduced to a cash
valuation, would stand about thus :
For 12 months' pay at 813 per
month, S15G 00
For 12 month's' commutation for
clothiug 3J, 42 00
For 12 months' commutation for
rations, 12, 211 00
For bounty, 100 00
For grant of 100 acres of land (in
prospect) valued, say at 100 00
Total for the year, S702 00
Thoro aro other considerations involved
which wo havo not enumerated in tho
above statement. Tho act of Congress,
approved July 22, 1301, provides that
" Every volunteer, non-commissioned of
ficer, private, musician and artificer, who
enters tho servico of the United States uu
der this act, shall bo paid at tho rate of
fifty cents in lieu of subsistence ; and if a
cavalry volunteer, twenty-five cents add
itional in lieu of forage for twenty miles
of travel from his place of enrollment lo
the place of muster, aud when honorably
discharged, an allowance at tho same rate
from the place of his dischargo to the place
of his discharge to tho plaeo of his enroll
ment. Moreover, in regard to pensions for the
wounded, and provision for the widows of
soldiers killed in battle, aud every other
essential particular, tho entire volunteer
force is placed upon an equal footin g with
the regular army.
The country is in no danger from the
democrats they love tho Union, they re
vcro tho Constitution. The Democratic
parly is the Union Parly. Not a battle
field can be found from Quebec to Mexico
that has not been bathed with democratic
blood nowhere have tho glorious "Stars
and Stripes" been unfurled, but strong
armed aud stout-hearted Democrats havo
becu there to fliug them to the breeze.
Seven-tenths of tho soldiers aro said to bo
of tho Democratic party led by such
valuable democrats as Rutler, McOlellau,
Patterson, Wool and Dix,
Huulev Liuht Guahd. Owing to the
untiring exertions of Alex. J. Frick aud
Uzal II. Kut, the lhnley Light G-tartl"
is filling up rapidly. This company aff
ords a fiuo opportunity for all young men
desirous of euteriug tho army. It will bo
composed of tho best material to bo found
iu our county, and has our best wiihos
wherever it may bo p accd. They will
leavo Uloomsburg on Tuesday next, for
tho Camp of Gen. James Rrigado at Hun-

Moro Treason.
The Chicago Tribune, the leading Re
publican paper of Illinois, contains the fol
lowing :
" An my Conthact Fnuns. The sno-
cial Committee of ihu House on the frauds
in the army contracts has asked and ob-
so as not only to include contracts that (
hav
mvu bcrn made but any that may bu made
icreafter, in any department of tho scnico
lonnccted with the war. Mr. Van Wyek,
connected with the war. Mr. Van Wvek.

that in tho past two months there has been
an amount of fraud in Mi- Cameron's de
partment unparalleled iu the history of the I

country. ' e h avo no tfouut o
when their report shall be madu
gross next winter, it will cover with acloal;
of comparative respectability the boldest
exploits of Mr. Cameron's predecessor in
office. Mr. Floyd ought,to feel greatful to
tho l'cnnsylvama becretary for tho ser
vices he has rendered his reputation in
this respect, unless. Indeed, ho should feel
jealous of him."
This is pretty strong ground for a Re
publican paper to assume ; and in conse
quence of this fact alone, tho assertion of
Mr. an W yck places Old Circumbcudi
bus Cameron in a bad position. Simon
has always been noted for looking out for
number ono ; but iu this instance, the im
mense field of operations opened up to
his peculiar range of talent, may havo
made him over-reach himself. Let the
commiltco follow this corruption to its
fountain head ; and let tho responsibility
bo attached where it belongs.
Democrats and Democratic papers aro
denounced as traitors, who daro to say a
word against the acts of tho Administra
tion. They may rob, pilfer, and steal to
the fullest extent, while the mouths of hon-

So much has been said upon the great
. ,i . , , ,7 .
question so unexpectedly raised by Major ,
General I' rcmont, that wo tako occasion to
print tho proclamation, tho letter of Prosi
dent Lincoln, and tho act of Congress
upon tho point involved, Wo shall follow 1
it hereafter by some articles from rcpubli
can journals, ihowing tho view
tho question by conservative men
well known that the President of tha Unl
ted States is very fully endorsed by the
democracy, and by tho conservative por
tion of tho opposition, in tho country,
St. Louis, August 31.
Tho following proclamation was issued
this morning i
UCAUaUAKTCKB 01' THE WESTERN DIH' T, 1

Circumstances, in my judgment of suffi
cient urgency, render it necessary that the
comiuaudiug-gcncral of this department
should assume tho adminisfrativo powers

tion of property by bauds of murderers
and marauders, who infest nearly every
county in tho state, and avail themselves
of tho public misfortunes and tho vicinity
of a hostile force to gratify private aud
neighborhood vengeance, and who find an
enemy wherever tlicy find plunder, finally
demand tho severest measures to repress
the daily increasing crimes and outrages
which aro driving off the inhabitants aud
ruining tho state. In this condition the
public safetv and the success of our arms
require unity of purpose, without let or
hindrance to the prompt administration of
alTairs.
In order, therefore, (o suppress disor
ders, to maiutatn as fur as now practica

aud protection to the persons aud property
of loyal citizens, I du hereby extend, and
declare established, martial law through
out tho state of Missouri. Tho lines of
tho army of occupation in this statu are
for the present declared to extend from Lea
venworth by way ot the posts ot Jollci'son
City, Rolla and Irouton, to Cape Girar
deau, on tho Mississippi river. All per
sons who shall be taken with arms in their
hands within these lines shall bo tried by
court martial, and, if found guilty, will be
shot. The property, real and porsonal,of
all persons in the state of Missouri, who
shall tako up arms against the United
States, or who shall be directly proven to
have taken active part with their enemies
in the field, is declared to bo confiscated to
the public use ; and their slaves, if any
they have, aro hereby declared free men.
AH poisons who shall be proven to have
destroyed, after tho publication of this or

Now, what do we behold, iu this the
very crisis of onr National affairs, Abraham
Lincoln, truo to his Inaugural, and entire
ly consistent with it, gives tho following:
! Washington, D. 0., Sept. II, 1601.
" To Major.Gcnrrul John C, Fremont:
"Sin Your of tho 8th instant, iu an
swer to mine of thu 20th instant, has just I
uccn received.
" Assuming that you, being upon tho
ground, could better judge of the necessi
ties of your position than I could at this
distance, on seeing your proclamation ol
August 30th, I perceived no general ob-
icction to it. The naiticular'clause. how -
ever, in relation to the confiscation of prop-
city and tho liberation of slaves, appeared
iu uu iuu uujeeiiuuuuiu uiiu iu lis i.ou-COU
fortuity to tho Act of Congress, passed tho
Gth of last August, upon the same subject,
and houce I wrote to you, expressing my
wish that that clauso should bo modified
accordingly.

That whenever hereafter, duriug tho pres.

soever, against tho Government and law

and in every such case, tho person to whom
such labor or service is chimed to be duo
shall forfeit his claim to tuch laborj any

ever thereafter tho person claiming such

Wo havo now furnished our readers

and they will, therefore, for themselves

John C. Fremont,
Thollmportanco of Missouri
Tho interests now imperilled in tho
Southwest aro, in the eye of a statesman,
farmoro important than tho safety of
Washington. If the rebellion should be
successful, wo should never continuo tho
national capital on the frontier where it
would bo constantly liable to mcnaco ;
and tho worst that would rasult from its
fall now (aside lrom the loss of prestige)
would bo tho loss of Maryland, whose
Southern sympathies causa it to gravttnto
towards the Slaveholdiug Confederacy.

tail tho loss of our whole magnificent wes
tern domain, extending from the light bank
of the Mississippi to the coast of tho Pa

embryo empire. Its detection to tho Con
federates would loso us all the fruits of
Jeffcrsous'a statesmanship iu tho LouUaua
purchase, all the rich territorial fruits of
tha Mexican war, and the whole of Ore
gon, for a mere strip of which we hero
ready to 0 to tho war with England fif
teen years ago, when tho popular cry was
"fifty-four or fight." It would end Ihu
great political controversy respecting tho
uon extension of slavery, by giving up to
the enemy every foot of tho territory so
long iu dispute. It would complete the
circle of the national quarrel on the slavc-
O' question, by bringing it sround to the

Tho Springfield (Illinois) Journal, tho
homo organ of President Lincoln, edited
by his nephew, administers a strong re
buke to thoso Republican journals who
opposo the President and sustain General
Fremont. In alluding to tho Chicago
Tnbune, a typo of this class of journals,
it says :
" Tho Tribunt seems to bo bent on iui.
chicf. Its abuse of President Lincoln for
his order, modifying Fremont's proclama
tion so that it shall conform to tho law, ii
sweeping and without qualification. It
takes emphatic issues with tho Government
and is doing all it can to weaken and de
stroy publio confidence in its war policy.
It may not no awaro ot tho tact but it
it with whiclut tells Mr. Lincoln on what
principles and with what policy this
- shall bo conducted, and iu intolerance of
I any other than its own views, aro decidedly
refreshing." J
