Andrews ts. Butler.
: Gov. Andrews, of Mas.', has addressed
a letter to'Brigadier Gen 'I Bailer, objecting
to the coarse pursued by the latter in ten
dering his command to suppress a reported
slave insurrection ra Maryland. To this
letter, Gen. Butler replies' in a letter that
'must have made the Governor's ears tingle,
and if be has in his composition any sense (
or shame, oaeawild think he would hide
his face, even from his most intimate friends.
This letter of General Bailer should be
pinted in letters of gold, ar.d placed in the
house of every inhabitant throughout the
land. - He has immortalized himself, and if
be should never do another act in this life
his name will go down lo future geueralioni
covered with glory.
'We make no war on women and defence
less children. We have nothing to do with
the abolition of slavery, even in the rebel
lious States, and it woald be gross inhu-
" manity to allow a service race, even under
the seeming protection of our armies, to
sack the homes of our deluded brethren at
tht South, and lay wane their land. It is
the duty of our Generals, as ttey go forth to
war, while they brandish the sword of jus
tice in one hand, with the other to hold out
the olive branch of peace and protection.
This is not a war of conquest, but one to
sustain the Government, and ensure a just
administration of the law ; and the very best
evidence we can give to our brethren that
they are wrong is, to Bhow by our acts that
we will not allow any wrong to be done to
thera, even by their servile population
We want no negroes to fight our battles,
and we must not allow them to interfere
"iih our quarrels.
If abolitionists suppose that the great
army of conservative men who have gone
forth to sustain the Government is to be
used as means to propagate and further
their infernal end, they will find thm
selves mistaken, and if it is attempted to
'use them for such a purpose, we will soon
compel oar authorities to call them home
again, and leave Gov. Andrews and his
Abolition crew to do their own dirty work
All honor, say we. to General Butler, for
his noble and manly stand on behalf of
right and humanity ; and we hope the time
may come when the people can express to
him, in a more tangible tform, their high
appreciation of his talents and worth.
: Who are Beady to do the Fighting.
A correspondent of one of oar exchanges
writing from Harrisburg, 6ays while the
Republicans are fussing and fuming and
flirting around the Democrats of the old
Keystone are qnietly enlisting in the de
fense of their country ready lojigkt for its
honor and its flag. He says it is an actual
fact that, at least, two thirds of those who
are enlisting voted the Democratic ticket.
We are informed that one regiment that was
. sent off were all Democrats but forth five
The Democracy o' the Keystone State keep
step to the music of Union, will allow none
but the stars and stripes lo wave over our
once happy land as long as Heaven gives
them an arm to defend it.
The same seems to be the case in Ohio,
as the Cleaveland Plaiudealer says that of
the Reserve (Giddings District,) five to
one .were . Democrats. We do not regard
this as" anything strange, for the Democrats
were always and under all circumstances,
the warm friends of the Union.
mAwat Down in Cairo." The town of
Cairo, at the Junction of the Ohio and Mis
sissippi rivers, has become a point of con
siderable importance in the West. There
is a force of 4,300 federal troops now sta
tioned there, under General Swift Strong
batteries are erected on and behind the le
vees which command both rivers, and the
difficulty of landing troop on the swampy
ground around that post is so great that
Cairo may be considered safe from any at
tack by the Southern troops. Heretofore
steamers laden with provisions were per
mitted to pss down the Mississippi but
we learn from Washington that Secretary
Chase has issued orders to all the Western
Collectors to grant no more clearance to
steamboats going to the rebel States, and to
search every vessel going Sooth and to
seize alt monitions ' of war and provisions
intended for any State on the Mississippi,

Cokcbms. As oar readers are aware
theie' is a Congressman to be elected iu this
district to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Hon. George W. Scranton. The
wonder is who will be the man or who is
the person fit &nJ equal to the emergency'
, As yet we have noticed very little 'said up
on this important matter through cor public
prints within the district, neither do we
know of any particular person we woald
suggest should fill this office.' What we
would say is, let some proper person be
selected, one . who is amply qualified for
the position, and withal, one who is a true
patriot and a thorough Union man. None
eUe can succeed, and we hope aad believe
that we have none other in the District
A lit a oar assistance and influence in
this raatter can go, it shall be used for no

true to ihe Constitution and its laws. We

: , f THE WAE.; f
Six months ago the country was' in a
state of peace and prosperity. Now we
are plunged in a civil war, and almost all
departments of business are more or less
embarrassed. At the Presidential election
in November last, a large and powerful
party at the North stood by the people ol
the South, and were ready to yield to them
almost all they asked. Now there has been
a complete diversity of the people of the
North from their brethren of the South, and
one united voice goes op from the free
States for punishment and vengeance upon
the brigands and tricksters who have led
the people of the South to make war upon
the General Government and the free insti
tutions founded by the Fathers of the Revo
lotion. Why are these things so ? But one
answer can be returned. They have come
to pass by the wish, desire and manage
mer.t of the political swindlers who are
now leading the South on to ruin. These
same politicians, by pre concert, broke up
the Democratic National Convention, se
cured a split in the party, with a design
and intent of electing a Republican Presi
dent. They succeeded ; and while every
department of the General Government, ex
cept the Executive, was in the hands of
their friends, when they could have pre
vented the passage of every law in any
wise interfering with their peculiar domes
tie institutions, they secede from the Union
as they did from the Democratic Conven
tion, and make the election of Lincoln,
which they planned and themselves brought
about, a pretext for treason, theft, robbery
and murder Why do they so? One rea
son is the slave States are largely indebted
lo the North, and by secession they wipe
out and repudiate all debts, public and pri
vate, and have appointed Jefferson Davie,
who was chiefly instrumental, a few yearn
ago, in inducing Mississippi to repudiate
her honest debts, President of the so called
Southern Confederacy Bat the Chief rea
son why the political gamesters of the
South are leading their people on to des
truction is that they feel themselves supe
rior to the free laboring men of the North ;
and while thev look down unon them as
. , , 1 -ii m -1
inferiors, and as the mudsills" of society,
a
they cannot endure the thought that the
masses of the North and West, composed of
farmers, mechanics, and laboring men,
should deign to no matter in how large a
majority settle the policy of the country,
or to ask any place of importance in the
civil or military departments of the Govern
ment until the Sliddell's. Toombs. Davis,
Yancy's and other "First Families" of
southern nabobs are provided for. These
men would be rulers and princes over us,
Dot simply our co equals under a common
government, and seeing that they are far j
outstripped in numbers by the North, are
determined that the people shall bow down j
to thera and that they, the minority, shall ;
rule over the majority. Any compromise
which may hereafter be cooked up with
the-e buecancers will involve a submission
of the people to the rule of heartless men,
who care for nothing and nobody but their
precious selves, and who", to annoy, embar
rass and injure the Norlh, will rob, steal
and born with as much unblushing wick
edness and blood-thirBtiness as ever dis
graced a European depot They may have
a few seedy politicians at the North who
will join in their cry for compromise, to
whom they have promised honors, and
rewards, but the heart of the people is right
and they will never submit their necks to
the yoke prepared for them by the proud
lordlings of the South or their minions at the
North.
What is the Difficulty.
The Southern papers have generally been
very discreet in treating of insubordination
among troops and similar unpleasant oc
currences. But the Charleston Courier, in
the report of a speech made by Gov Pick
ens, on the occasion of the return of
the First Regiment of South Carolina
Volunteers from .Morris Island, represents
the Governor to have used this significant
language:
"He regretted exceedingly that any thing
should have occurred to produce a disturb
ance in their ranks. Although they had
not volunteered to go to Virginia, yet there
were circumstances which induced them lo
refuse, that to them, as volunteers, might be
justifiable. He was proud to say they had
not refuted Irom want of patriotism or cour
age. On the contrary, there were many
circumstances which were know to ibe offi
cers of the regiment alone and lo them
selves. He knew they were as brave, as
noble, and as patriotic a body of troops as
ever came forward so gallantly to sustain
the State. He had no censure to pass, but
on the contrary, returned them bis heart
felt thanks for the noble endurance and pa
tience with which they had nearly served
out their time." "
Ho Tarty bat the Country !
Tbs above is the catch word and the cry
of ihu Republican presses all over the land
jat now. ' The country is in war, and we
most sink party," bay they. Our neighbor
of th Record says, "we are willing to bnry
party feeling and hope others are equally
willing." 1 In the same paragraph is the
following ' remarkable commentary upon
this fine-sounding profession :
"For Congress. A member of Congress
is soon to be elected to fill the vacancy oc
casioned by the death of Col Scranton. It
is of the almost importance at this juncture
that a firm and unyielding supporter of the
Administration should be selected.",
There reader, yon have what is meant,
at least in this meridian, by the bypocriti
cal cry of "sinking" party! Democrats are
asked to sacrifice all their principles and
their party preferences upon the alter of
their t country. Don't breathe a word in
reference to party while the war lasts; but
when yoa come to vote for a Congressman,
remember that none bat a genuine . Lincoln

Three months or Three Years. "
i . .
f Gov. Curtin ' has, . alter correspondence
with the Secretary of War, Issued the fol
lowing circular to the Colonels of the Penn
sylvania Regiments muBtered into service
for three months, under the first call of the
President:
Sir: I have been requested by the Sec
retary of War to let the Regiments now in
the service of the Stale know that it is ' pre
ferred to have all the Regiment' already
mustered into service for three months,
which are not actually sent forward, remus
tered into service for three years or during
the War, should they be willing to do so."
I therefore deem it proper to direct that you
immediately ascertain the preference of
your Regiment upon this question, and
communicate the result forthwith to me.
Those who do not desire to re enlist for
this additional period can be lormed into
Regiments, or have isuch arrangements,
made as to enable them to retire with hon
or, in accordance with their enlistment.
I cannot refrain from saying that it would
afford me much pleasure to see the Regi
ments so promptly and patriotically offered
to the State give 'this additional and more
enduring evidence of continued devotion to
their country. Verr respectfully yours,
A. G. CURTIN,
G-ernor and Commander-in-Chief.
'Political Differences Must be Obliterated!'
Our Republican friends in their overheat
ed anxiety to have Democrats to rally in
support of the Lincoln Administration, tell
us that all political differences must be ob
literated and all party ties broken up
Now, this all sounds very nice, and looks
well on paper; but suppose you, Republi
cans, give us an example of your sincerity
in this matter. Let ns know whether you
are willing to throw aside parly in your ap
pointments to office ? Are you willing that
the Democrats shall have half the offices yet
to be filled by Lincoln ? Or are you wil
ling to divide the officers of the next Con
gress, in which you have a majority, equal
ly between Black Republicans and Demo
crat? Come, now, speak out let us
know whether there is to be any cheating
in thi matter of obliterating party lines is
it to be a general obliteration or do you de

Bradford Troops We copy the follow
ing from the Lycoming Gazette :
Several companies of troops have passed
through Williamsport, returning home from
Camp Crutin. We nave been informed that
they returned home because they would not
consent to volunteer for three years, but for
that we cannot vouch. Thev belona lo the

We also clip the following (rom the same
paper :

three cheers for the Bradford county Invin

gators of mob law .Patriot and Union.
"Inapsaeks or the4Demoerats.' .
: From the New York Daily Ntw, we clip
the following article, with the remark that
it is a very fair parallel of the state of things
in this section of the country. As the Re
publican presshere"see.Tis intent on mak
ing political capital out of this war, and of
charging the Democratic party and its pres
ses wiln disloyally, we take it a perfectly
legitimate that lh facts should be shown to
the public :
"It is slated that the little Democratic
county of Putnam has contributed no less
than three'hutidred volunteers to fight Old
Abe's battles, and that of these there is not
a. single Republican every man, rank and
file, voted against Lincoln last Fall ! ,
The Captain of a Buffalo volunteer com
pany writes us that not a single man in his
company voted for Lincoln. Of ninety-eight
recent army recruits in that city, ninety one
were Democrats ! It is thus that the Re
publicans get Democrats to fight the battles.
The facts we slate are only indices of the
state of the case everywhere. 'Knapsacks
for Democrats , offices for Republicans."
It is noticeable that not a regiment has
been yet marched out of this Slate from
any county except New York, Kings, Ul-ter
and Albany. These four counties gave a
majority of 34,590 against Abraham Liu
coin and the Chicago Platform, last Fall
The number of volunteers they have thus
far furnished is about 31,000. Now, in all
probability, nine tenths of these volunteers
are Democrats; and thus it will be seen
lhai the Democratic majority in these lour
counties is already all but annihilated while
the Republican levies in the Abolitionized
rural Districts are carefully kept within the
State ! , ,
A Republican at Washington said the
other day that before November next the
Democratic majority of New York City
would have disappeared on the fieid of bat
tle. As none of the Republican counties
have yet sent a single regiment to Wa-hing
ton, we begin to think there may be some
thing in all this "
W e have il from data which we deem
perfectly reliable, that of the regiment from
Luzerne, commanded by Col. Emley, there
are but 57 Republicans in the rank, out of
nearly 900 men. Scores of Democrats,
with dependant families, left good situations
and enlisted, while young men, with no
made up, and then with four companies
. . . .-.I .1
Irom those great counties less than Wilkes
quite all Democrats, and right down good
fellows and toll of determination lo defend
their country's flag, uphold its honor and
j mamtaing its government,
This state of facts shows conclusively
hat the Democratic party is, as it ever has
been, loyal to the country that Democrats
'. are the first to fly to the national succor in
timen ol peril. It snows mat mey are wu
lin to do this notwithstanding they believe
that they are in no wise responsible for this
state of things and that il Mr. Lincoln had

peaceful and happj. There can be no rea
sonable doubt of this. With the election of
either Douglas or Breckinridge last fall,

of existence on sound and healthy blood.
Four-fifths of the diseases which afflict man

pure and vigorous is the irue secret of
health, and Holloway's Pills will accom
plish this most effectually no matter how
tainted or vitiated. An attention to this fact
will not only save irouble and annoyance
as well as a considerable item in annual

pimples, blotches and cutaneous eruption
which proceed from impure blood.
