' Few men hare acquired a more unenvia
ble position than Horace Greeley. His po
litical aspirations receive no encouragement
from the Administration, it has been his
constant study to annoy and embarrass the
machinery of the Government ever since
Lincoln's inauguration. Nothing has pleas
ed his lordship. Gen. Scott has received
repeated insults from his pen insults that
a Democrat would not utter, much less pub
lish to the world. His italic order, ''For
icard to Richmond!11 occupying until recent
ly, a conspicuous place in the Tribune, was
a standing insult to the beloved and vener
ated Commander-in-Chief of the Federal
army. Presumptive, indeed, must be the
individual to dictate terms to one whose
knowledge and experience in military tact
ics finds no equal among the living Gener
als of this day; yet we find Horace Greeley
not only dictating terms, but abusing Gen.
Scott, President Lincoln, and Sec. Cameron
because they see fit to exercise their own
judgment.
No matter how much we may differ with
the Administration upon political questions,
we deem it our duly as loyal, peace-abiding
citizens, to sustain the efforts of the Gov
ernmenl in the present straggle.
In our opinion, Greeley-free-love-ism,
D;ecber Abolitionism, and Lloyd Garrison
Atheism, make up as dangerous a composi
linn in society as the ingredients ruling the
minds of the Southern traitors. They may
ulk about freedom.it cannot exist with such
material. As an illustration, we copy one
brief sentence from the editorial columns of
this professedly Union sheet, the New York
Ttibune, Lieut Gen. Horace Greeley, editor:
It would seem that there is no Secretary
of War in Washington, and above all no
Commander-in-Chief, or a state of things
so deplorably subversive of all discipline
coold never exist."
Unless Gen. Scott keeps a keen lookout,
this brave General will slip off from his
office and lake Richmond before the rebel
Congress are aware of it.
The Assailants of the Eemotratie Tarty.
Certain pretended organs of the Republi
can party in this State whos e proprietors
are filling their pockets from. the Federal
coffers, and who therefore care not how
long the present troubles last, .see nothing
iu the majestic rising of the people in de
fence of the Government but a splendid op
portunity of making money for themselves
and political capital against the Democratic
party.
These same men, who employ all the
time not devoted to robbing the Treasury or
charging the Democratic party with treason
. . .. i r -ii
and stirring up ne exunci emuers ui uiu
controversies, were not always so much
in love with the Union and the Govern
ment. They used to speak lightly of the
Union, and talk about letting it slide in cer-
tain contingencies. They incessantly ridi
culed Democrats for expressing anxiety for
the preservation of the Union. They laugh
ed at the idea of danger. They denomina
ted all men who were solicitous for the fu
ture of the country as "Union savers" a
phrase to which they attached a peculiar
degree of odium. They not only stubborn
ly refused to assent to a peaceful settlement
ot our national troubles when that was pos
sible, but showed thsir distrust ol the peo
ple by denying them the privilege of voting
on the question. The Chicago platform
was their "higher law," placed far above
the Constitution. Perish a hundred Unions
they exclaimed, rather than give an inch of
this party platform They chronicled and
applauded every infraction of the iugitive
slave law. After the cotton States seceded
from the Union, they were in favor of let
ting them drill ; and they published articles
tu show that war would not restore the
Union.
Such was the spirit and temper of the
class of newspapers previous to the great
events that aroused the nation to the neces
sity of war for its own protection and pres
ervation. The assaults upon our flag, the
reduction of Fort Sumpter, the immediate
danger of the Capitol, at once excited and
united the people. Past political distinc
tions were forgotten in the presence of per
ils that threatened to plunge us into an.
archy, and to destroy the glorious fabric
of government reared and strengthened by
successive generations of statesmen and
patriots. Tne watchward flew with more
than electric speed from State to State, for
it was the common impulse of patriotism
that the Union must be preserved and the
Topalar Indignation Against tne Cabinet.
"The New York papers agree that the late
lost battle at Ball's Run, has produced, a
very unfavorable impression in the public
mind against the administration on the mil
itary authorities. One of them states that
the conservative Republicans held caucuss
meetings in various sections of that city, on
Thursday evening last, when the whole
subject was discussed, and the most bitter
expressions of indignation uttered against
the Cabinet for permitting the army to fall
into the rebel trap at Manassas Junction.
It was 6aid that the Confederate army, un
der the guidance of its government and gen
erals, took good care not to fall into the trap
General Scott laid for them at Arlington
Heights ; and it was no doubt owing to their
wholesome horror ol being caught in it that
they did not pursue the retreating Federal
forces in their confusion and disorder, cut
them off Irom Washington, and capture that
city. There were various ways of getting
to Richmond without going through Ma
nassas Junction, and the selection of that
route seems like the stubbornness of a bull
running his head against a locomotive.
The attack was made against the judge
ment of General Scott and General McDow
ell, and it is known that the latter had a
presentiment of defeat, though he obeyed
orders. There was the mod bitter resent
ment against the Cabinet for being led
away by the bloodthirsty, fanatical aboli
tionists of the party, such as Hickman,
Wade, Fessenden, Sumner Lovejoy and
Chandler, and being induced by their clam
ors to order a premature advance on Rich
mond, which has bo disastrously resulted
in the sacrifice and disgrace of our brave
troops. ' .
h is the opinion of these republicans that
the present Cabinet are unfit for their posi
tion, inasmuch as they listened to such ad
vice, and also because there is not a distinct
enunciation on the part of the government
that the object of the war is not to extermi
nate slaver or meddle in any way with the
rights ol properly in the Southern States.
The consequence of abolitinnizing the arm
ed movement will be to divide and demor
alize our troops, the greater portion of
whom enlisted, not to wage war against
slaveholders, but to maintain the integrity
of the Union. It would be hard to say how
far the rabid anti slavery sentiments lately
uttered in Congress by those republican
leaJers who are supposed to be in the con
fidence of the Cabinet had an unfavorable
Government sustained. All classes and j effect upon the federal forces who fought

The stirring events of Sunday of last week
Mem to as more like a vague, undefined
dream than the stern reality which weighs
u down with almost unutterable grief. On
the clear stillness of Sabbath night the bells
rang forth a merry peal, and the hearts of
the people leaped with joy, because vic
tory was ours. That day while a park of
artillery was firing a salvo, and while friend
as congratulating friend upon the tri
umphs, real and imaginary, gained by
our army in Virginia, the lightning flashed
a different tale across the wires. We feel
in no mood to speculate npon the result
's efficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
If any one had predicted such a catastro
phe in the Nor.h a few days ago, he would
with great propriety have been set down as
a madman. Indeed so unable were people
to realize the real extent of the disaster that
for days many doubted the truth of the
dispatches received. When ar last the
facts were palpable, there was not only an
intense excitement, but a feeling of patri
otic ardor that rose superior to all the hu
miliation inspired by the defeat.
Animated by one common feeling, the
masses are ready by thousands and tens of
thousands to (ally and fill up the broken
Mid diminished ranks of the army, and to
day Pennsylvania is prepared to furnish
fifty thousand men to take the place of
those who have fallen in defence oi the
Stars and Stripes.
The defeat at Manassas has awed bat not
conquered as. The shrieksof the wounded
and the groans of the dying the wail of
the widow and the tears of the orphan will

has been the cause of the late defeat of the
Federal Army, and to the Tribune we are
mainly indebted for the late terrible disas
ter. Because the . administration and the
Generals of the Army have not pressed for
ward with greater speed than they hitherto
have, they have been deBOunced in the
vilest of language-" Now three or four thou
sand men have been sacrificed, we trust
for the future, it will leave the manage

Scott and his aids. Mr. Greeley may be a
very good General, on paper, but in the
field its auite a different affair. Manassas

conditions of men, without respect to their
political opinions or prejudices, without
pausing to discuss the origin of our national
troubles, without stopping to determine
where the greatest weight of responsibility
6hould rest, obeyed the summons of the
head of the nation to arms. Democrats did
not hesitate to hold back. We say it is no
boatful spirit, but as an undeniable truth,
that no political party in the country, and
even the party that triumphed at the last
election, furnished as many men for this '
war as the Democratic party, lhe same
fervent love for the Union which impelled
that party to labor and plead for the pres
ervation of the Union by peaceful mean?,
constrained its members to enter the ranks
of the army after all hopes of saving the
Union by compromise had vanished, and
the Government was assailed by armed
oes. They did not waste time in discus
sion and denunciation, or wait to conquer
their prejudices against the party in power ;
nor did they pause to deliberate as to the
propriety of assisting an Administration in
whose elevation they had no hand, and
from whose denomination they apprehen
ded fearful consequences. But they recog
nize their obligations to the Government
without regard to those administering it,
and their obedience was willing and spon
taneous.
Surely, if ever there was a time when the
voice of faction should be hushed, and
when the partizans of the Administration
ought to cease their warfare upon the Dem
ocratic party, whose members compose a
large proportion of the army, this is tne
time. And we are glad to say tnai inese
malignant assaults do not come from men
actually engaged in figting the battles of
the country. They invariably come from
the class of patriots who stay at home to
rob the treasury from contract jobbers ;
furnishers of rotton clothing and worthless
shoes; pensioners of the Government; men
who hold sinecures at Washington and are
let Ioote to villi fy better citizens than them
selves; public thieves who have belonged
in turn to every political party, and are
near Manassas Junction on Saturday last.
Certain it is that all soldiers will fight the
better by understanding what they are
struggling for, and by having their hearts in
the cause. Danville Intelligencer.
The Uljomburg Hand.
The Pilot, published at Greencastle, this
State, says : The Bloomsburg Brass Band,
attached to the Sixth Regiment, of the
Pennsylvania Reserve, paid our town a visit
on last Thursday evening. This band has
sixteen pieces. It is under the leadership
of John Hower. Though it is a short time
since the members of this Band have been
practicing together, the music was well ex
ecnted, much belter than many other Bands
we have heard.
The inspiring strains of "Hail Columbia"
filled every heart with joy.and the chorus
"Firm, united, let us be,
Rallying round our country,"
was sensibly felt. With many other patri-
! otic airs, and instrumental music, an hour
! or two passed away, affording our people
such a treat, as they seldom enjoy. The
selection of pieces throughout, evinced in
an unrnistakeable manner, the taste of the
performers.
It is said by those who were fortunate
enough to hear, the pieces sans by the
53 ' m w m
quartette was in the same splendid style,
We know we speak the sentiments of the
citizens, that we appreciate the efforts of
j
this Band, and our warmest wishes are
with them. The Sixth has cause to be
proud of her musicians.
In the kindness of their hearts they for-
tot not the eaitor and his sub. Our better
half and ourself, return our heartiest thanks
for the delicious strains with which they
com plirr.ented us.
Like their own music, may their lives
move smoothly along, marred by no dis
cordant sound, and when their finale shall
come, may they gently close their eyes,
and their spirits softly sink away, as sink
their own sweet strains upon the ear of
even.
Blajor General Robert Patterson.
Major General Robert Patterson was born
in Ireland in 1792, and emigrated to this
country when quite, young, taking up his
abode in Philadelphia. He received a col
legiate education, and early manifested mil
itary inclinations. After graduating at Col
lege he was appointed First Lieutenant in
the Twenty-second regiment of regular
Uuited States Infantrj ; in April, 1813, he
was transferred to the Thirty-second Infan
try : appointed Assistant Depo t Quartermas
ter General (with the rank of Captain.;
January, 1813, and Captain-in line, 1814,
and thereupon relinquished rank in the
staff. He retired from the army in the 6ame
year, upon thedisbandmentof his regiment
He subsequently followed the profession of
the law iu his adopted city, and for many
years was connected with the military of
Philadelphia. In 1847 he whs appointed
Major General of volunteers, and proceeded
to Mexico and assumed command of his
division. He was actively engaged in the
siege of Vera Cruz, but shortly afterwards
his health failed and he returned to the
United States, and was therefore unable to
take part in the well contested battles in the
upper part of Mexico, which crowned the
American arras with glory and conquered
peace.

Nathaniel P. Banks proclaimed from ros
trum, in a public speech, only a few years
ago, his readiness to "let the Union slide."
He is now "saving the Union," a Maj. Gen.
under Mr. Lincoln, in Baltimore, by holding
the people of that city in it at the point of
the bayonet!
Anson Burlingame said, about the same
time, that unless he could have "an anti-
slavery Constitution, an anti slavery Bible,
and an anti slavery God," the Union wasn't
worth preserving. He has been appointed
Minister to Austria by this Union-saving
Administration 1
Joshua R. Giddings was expelled from
the House of Representatives, several years
ago, for offering petitions not from the
South, but from Ohio in favor of a dissolu

pointment from tha present Union-loving
Administration !
We might enumerate many similar in
stances of devotion to the Union on the part
of the leading men of the Republican party,
but the above will suffice for the present,
and should satisfy everybody of the sincer
ity with which this war lor the Union is
pressed. Lancaster Intelligencer.

COMPLAINT OF A PATRON.
Mr. Editor, Dear Sir: Why is it that my
paper does pot come regularly ? The mails
are carried with as much regularity as usu
al; so the Post Masters must be in fault.
But I fear that some of "Honest Old Abe's"
servants are too much occupied wiih other
matters, and thus neglect their own busi
ness, or such as has been entrusted to them.
Now, sir, 1 am one of your subscribers,
and would like to have the paper, at least
half of the time. At present I do not get it
monthly.
I know that the P. M. at C is
too careless in delivering mail matter.
For instance he has sent papers from his
office without any orders, and when they
were called for, could not tell where or by
whom they had been sent, also papers ad
dressed to other persons have been sent to
me frequently.
If such gross negligence had exsited dur
ing former Administrations we would have
heard much more about it. Even the
Doctor, who managed to preach himself
into office, was loud and fierce to denounce
such misconduct.
Hoping to receive the "Star" occasional
ly, I remain your Sub-cribkr.
The fault mast be with the postmasters,
as we print and mail the Star regularly to
your address. We hope to "hear no more
complaint in your direction. The servants
of Mr. Lincoln should endeavor to do their
duty, and when it is known that they are
doing their best, and there still are com
plaints, we 6hall make up our mind pretty
soon that they are bad officers, and strive
the harder to have them removed when the
four years roll round if not sooner. Ed. Star.

the renowned traveler and physician, has
had the most extensive practice in this or
any other age, and consequently his Pills

than any other medicines in the annals of

he cures cases of confirmed consumption,
though his remedies will give relief after all
other means have failed, but he confidently
sta'.es that in incipient 6tages of consump

eases of the throat and chest, his Pills and
Ointment will effect a decided and perma
nent cure. The Pills act on the blood, and
neutralize the virus which depraves it and
at the same time they revitalize and invigo
rate it. The Ointment, absorbed through
the skin as meat imbibes salt, prevents the
progress of diseases of the lungs in the ear
ly stages of consumption, and also removes
the phlegm which obstruct respiration in
asthma or bronchitis. Thousands in every
part of the civilized world have been cured
of these diseases by the Pills and Ointment
after all other means had been exhausted
without success. "Weekly Christian Watchman."

Fourteen of the three months regiments
have left Washington, but their places have
been supplied by regiments enlisted for the
war, and the army is now nearly as effi
cient, as to the number of men, and no
doubt quite so as to their character as be
fore. The demoralization, so far as it exist
ed at all, seems to have been confined to
the three months troops whose term of ser
vice was about to expire. The strongest
confidence is felt at Washington that the
troops there are more capable than ever of
resisting an attack from behind their en
trenchments, and quite ready to meet the
enemy in the field if he should be rash
enough to oner battle. 1 his news may re

mission from Governor Dennisou, of Ohio
Let this be remembered at the next elec

possessing loo many good traits of charac
ter, to receive any attention by Curtin save
ibe cold shoulder. This is only one instance
among many where Curtin has displayed
his narrow-spirited partizan feeling even
simon? men of his own political family; and
The war news, for the past few days, in
fact ever since the great battle at Manassaf,
bai been of no great importance to any one.
The Government is doing all in its power to
bring this campaign to a speedy close if we
may rightly understand its policy. Our
army was eo disorganized that we will not
be able to move in a much longer time than
has been anticipated by some who have
always been over-estimating our strength
and under rating that of the enemy. The
fact that our three month's men have served
their time out, and are going home in pret
ty Jarge numbers, is another thing which
will operate against our movements soon,
their places, in a measure, will have to be
filled ; regiments which they disjointed will
have to be re-organized before an other
grand movement can again be made into
Virginia. We have accounts that Regi
ment after Regiment have been accepted
by the Government since the late battle at
Bull's Run. A requisition has been made
on several of the Governors in the Union
States for additional troops, which we have
no doubt will be responded to with all
promptness.
Those Republicans who make it a prac
tice to borrow, or by chance pick up our
paper, and are continually finding fault
with it and its editor, are perfectly willing
to all lhe capital they can make out of it,
either in a political or pecuniary way, for
themselves or any one else. We did not
come to this place with the intention of 1
printing a paper to 6uit this Republican
party neither do we intend to. Our course
shall be, as it ever ha3 bean, to sustain the
Constitution and stand by the Administra
tion in all constitutional measures. This
we consider our duty not only as a journal
ist but as a citizen.' We yet enjoy the priv
ilege to criticise the acrs of all public men
in high places or out, and we shall still con
tinue lo do so. More anon, if called for.
DtrRisa the cannonading at Bull's Ron,
General Beauregard and General Lee were
both on horseback. On one occasion, when
the balls from Sherman's battery were fly
ing thick and fast into the enemy's batter
ies, they were seen sida by side, encoura-
ein2 their artillerists. A shot from one of
Sherman's guns knocked the wheel off of
one of their cannon, close lo where they
stood, and a shell immediately afterwards
exploded near them, killing three of the
gunners and wo'inding Lee's horse in the
fore leg. He cooly dismounted and cent
