Tb lessons ir the Hoar. - The election in Pennsylvania has come ,and gone, but it fc left a lesson behind .prejnant.with instruction for those who will ,be instructed thereby. . j, .One j'ear ago the democratic party was , fwept from power in this country as the Si . moon sweeps away the sands ot the desert and blaave ia its course every restige of ani 1 mat life. fa rata that party pleaded for the jUuioa of thes States and the integrity of the government. In rain through its press .and by its orators through every channel in fact by which it could reach the public ear or attract the public attention, did it ad .morush the people that the success of a sec tion si organization would produce civil war and a dismemberment of the States. They would not heed or hear. There was rot enough left of the democrats of this State, so far as their orgaizalton was concerned, to even call it party. All branches of the .public service were filled with the opposi tion, and for the third time since the organ ization of the government, the democracy hong is harps on the willows and retired to mount for the sad fate of their country. . Toeir prophesies have been fulfilled their predictions, in all their terrible reality, b.ave come to pass. War murderous and desolating war, now reigns in place of peace ani contentment. We are rapidly becom ing a nation of military accomplishments, aci when the end shall be no one can tell. But "a change has come o'er the spirit of our, dreams.71 . Starting out long before this campaign commenced with the idea tbat the democratic party was now dead, the leading political element of the country essayed to crush out every vestige of its vi tality. Its presses were mobbed nr placed under the ban of an exacting public opinion that would tolerate nothing but an actual obedience to the behests of the party in power. Its orators and public men were subjected to tcdignities such as the Czarol all the Russians would, hardly dare to load upon one of bis subjects. The final disso Lit ion of the democratic party was announ ced, with so much earnestness and zeal, that everywhere the timid faltered and fell ack the doubting hesitated and looked nboot to be sure which would, in the end, bff the strongest side; and, that large class of politicians who have no principle but the loaves and fishes who have in tarn belonged to all parties and adhered to none, went clear over and joined lne opposition under, the specious cry of "Union." But what has teen the result? Undismayed by the disasters that have befallen its country, ur the defeats that but . a year ago overtook its party, the ever-living, active, breathing seut:ment of democracy, inherent in the fc earls of the people, has been at work and performed its mission through the ballot box. . Pennsylvania has been redeemed from the rule of the venal redeemed from the role of sectionalism and has retorned to her old and ancient faith. ll has often seemed strange to ns that any. body can for a moment distrust the recuper ative power of the democratic party. Yet tnch there are. " The democratic party is dead,'' is a story that has been s&id and sung for seventy years; and yet how, from the dust of sackcloth and humiliation it al ways arises ! No deieat humbles no deg radation subdues it. Clad in the panoply of ' right imboed with the principles of Union and good government once over thrown and stripped of the robes of power, it always arises with renewed vior and energy to resume its position as the conser vator of good government and the protector of the national integrity. Such has been its history, and such it ever will be. The spir it of democracy cannot be subdued or anni hilated. It will live while free government shall live Live in the hearts of men live in, the attributes of God live forever. This election then has written out the first great lesson often written bat as often for gotten,, that the democratic party is not dead, neither doih it sleep. It is a thing ol life as active; and elastic as when it was breathed into an organized existence by Thomas . Jefferson. .It is raising up and reaching put for the control of this govern- zceut, and it will as surely grasp the object for which it reaches, as that the object itsell shall exist to be grasped. The acme ol folly and madness . has been gained, and wearied with exhausting war and sectional strife, the government will again fall back into ibe bands of those who so long and so succesfully controlled it, to be again united ia a solid and enduring whole, or we shall have none to unite. And this wilt teach the people by an experience so sad and so bitter that they will never again forget, nev er hereafter distrust the democracy of this country. Faults it may have correction it may sometimes need, but all these mast be mads and cured within its own organi zation. To go outside of that cures them co better, and only imperils the countrf- And h will trach another thing. Jo those who are democrats in snnshine and desert Bs ia storm those who when the tempest lowers desert the sbip and pray lustily that it may go to the bottom those who betray . their party, its principles, and the friends of their whole IIfe, to take refuge in the bosom cf iheir 'enemies and the enemies of their party it will teach' them that there is but orm frase' road to political distinction, and that 'ts the old and well trod pathway bat the democratio goat tire" traveled since seventy years -ra. ' Bat tts:3 ia ai6iSeraid a practical les- 803 lis; 'it bf tbi' aleV.oa.- It is that tha- to settle the ifScuiiiea that this connlry cow finds itself involved in. We are not to say that Jli. Lincoln and ihis Cabinet have cot doce what they -could to defend the -government against this rebellion. Probably they have, but that this war can ?er be settled by and between Mr. Liticoln, the representative of northern radicalism to a great extent, and Davis, rhe representative of southern rjltraistn, no Tight thinking man can for one moment suppose. With the bostsof normem legions at bis command with an array the like of which the world seldom seen Mr. Lincoln may, and we trust wHl, break the back of this rebellion. But more than that ia required. Bayonets cannot make a nnion of a people and ce ment it in that affection for the government that shall render it enduring. An element stronger and a setiment more sacred must after all underlie the foundations of a gov ernment of States united as one people the sentiment of nationality of fraternity -of equality. To these sentiments the democracy of the country has always been loyal, and the southern people know it has been. -To the democracy they will hearken to their admonitions and guarantees they wilt give heed. The people of the north now see and appreciate thi, and so as an other lesson of the hour, we see them call ing our party back to power, and to the control of the government. We have thus glanced briefly at the lef sons of this election. They are full of in struct ion, and we trust our Republican friends will heed them. In succeeding num bers we shall elaborate more fully. Luzerne Union. The Ceeortl of Mistakes and Blunders. The New York Tribune admits that the history of this war, on the part of both Government and people, i little more than a record oi the discover? of mistakes and the rectification of blunders. True, but who is responsible for these mistak as and blunders? W hat was the main instrument in blinding the people to the truth, and leading them into error 1 If the people had believed last summer that they were about rushing into a war of the most fearful mag nitude, they would have found some means of averting it and that they did not foresee the danger ahead was because they trusted the misrepresentations of blind party leaders. Let us look at some ol the error of incredul ity which the events of the past eix months have dispelled. The Republican party may be called the party of false pretences. In the last Presi dential campaign it declared that slavery must be excluded from the territories. Not only was this within the power of Congress but it was the duty of Congress to exercise it. The election was carried on this princi ple; and then the territories were organized without excluding slavery. HaJ it been announced before the election that congres- sional prohibition was only a theory not 'o be carried into practice, the- contest would have been deprived of much of its bitterness but then it might not have resulted as it did. The Republican leaders gave the most solemn assurances that no danger was to be apprehended that the threats of the So nth were harmless gasconade intended to fright en independent freemen from the honest dis charge of their conscientious convictions of duty, and that as soon a the election was over the agitation would quiet down. The success of the Republican candidates would poor oil upon the troubled waters. They ridiculed Democrats for expressing fears for the safety of the Union, and some of them went so far as to say that it might slide for all they cared. They were positive that secession would not be attempted up to the very time it ac tually occurred and then they maintained that it waa an artificial crisis that thete was no real danger that noboby was hurt, and that all would blow over in sixty days. After it became evident that the spirit of rebellion was spreading throughout the South when State after State declared against the Union, and when it was no longer posible to- ignore the fact that a formidable conspiracy was organized to sub vert the Government, another error of in credulity took the place of those disproved by stubborn and undeniable events. This was (he error of depreciation. There would be some fighting, but against an inferior foe. The South C.onld not raise an army. It could not feed and clothe and pay an army if it was raised. Like all braggarts and bullies the Southern people were cowards. They would net fight. One Northern roan was able to whip three of their chivalry. A short and vigorous campaign would put a speedy end to the rebellion. While in the iv art nf avrakin? from urevious errors, it is strange that the people should so reaJily and yet at the time of the President's first proclamation, summoning 75.000 men to the defence of the Capital the great mass of the people anticipated an eay victory and a speedy restoration of the Union. The administration with a more correct ap preciation of the work before it, attempted to organize an army of sufficient strength to march .into Virginia and drive the rebels from their entrenchments. But the con temptuous estimate put opoa them by the Republican leaders, forced a premature ad vance, and the secoad crop of errors was dispelled by the rude shock at Boll Run, and the North at lastopend its drowsy eyes to the fact that it had to contend against a powerful enemy that would fight. Glance over this long list of errors pro rooted by the leaders of the Republican party. First no danger 2nd, small danger third, - a contemptible enemy. Truly have they found the history of the war little more than a record of the discovery of mis takes of their own making, and blcaJtrs ol their own devising. Will these blind leaders of the blind con tinue to set themselves beforethe people as public teachers t or will the peoble trust them, alter so . , meny proofs . of their im becility 1 Patriot and Union. :! CoxsiDMABLa fighting; has been done lately along the-Potomac and in Missouri.- Our colamiia, are too much crowded with other matter tgive scarcely any of tb par ticulars this u'etk. The FaderiJ fncei have Confederate Allies. While the Confederate traitors are send ing mission after mission to Europe to en treat -conjure, implore, Louis Napolean,Pal mersion, somebody, anybody, to interpose in their behalf,' and thus secure unlimited supplies of slave holding gratitude and cot ton.their real allies are close at hand and very formidable nay, they have effected a lodg ment in the very camps of the Union armies. Their names are Drunkenness and Rapine ; and they have done and are doing more harm to the Union canse than all its declar ed enemies from Fort Lafayette to Matamo ras. Those enemies are malignant and crafty they avoid a fair and equal meeting with the Unionists, but deal deadly blows when by surprise and superior local knowl edge they catch us at a disadvantage ; but their ally Rum always has us at a disadvan tage, for he knows our weak points by in stinct, and glides by our pickets and senti nels like a magician who has the' power of rendering himself invisible at will. In vain are General orders issued forbid ding his approach ; how can they be enfor ced when Rum is hail-fellow with officers as well as privates, and welcomed in the colonel's marquee as well as the soldiers' bivouac? Some days are inclement, then the soldier likes to fortify himself against cold and wet by insidious, treacherous Liq uor ; others are fine, calling for long march es or fatiguing work in felling trees or dig ging trenches, and the soldier wants to be braced up with grog. If duty is severe, he must drink if he can get n, and if he has a playspell, how can he enjoy it without his toddy? So the soldier drinks, and at best squanders the pay that should be sent to his needy family, while he sometimes be comes madJened by liquor and acts like a very demon. Let us give an example : A regiment on the Potomac was recently ordered on a march of fifteen or twenty miles. It made five or six miles the first af ternoon and encamped. Next morning at roll call, nearly a hundred were missing ! No one knew what had become of them Anxious inquiry and search at length dis covered them at a low drinkirig-house a mile or more from their camp, where the) had first got drunk, then quarreled, and pro ceeded to outrages, whereof the net resul was one man killed, several horses anil hogs either killed or so mutilateJ as to be worth less, &c. That regiment had to be ordered back, and another sent in its 6tead, whilu Uncle Sam lias a bill of S500 to Sl.000 In paj for ruined property, and has lost one if not two soldiers. And '.his is a fair speci men of Rum's doings in the army. Of course, all do not so drink, nor hsl", nor perhaps a quarter ; but enough do to e ' feet a frightful amount of evil, and render the life of a good commander one of pain ful anxiety and sorrow. Liqjor has, op tj this hour, done the Union cause more harm than any fifty regiments in the rebel army. The twin ally of treason is Rapine,wheth er it take the form of plunder or that of wan ton destruction. The track of an army is too apt to be marked by desolation, but it need not be by wicked waste and crime.- We hear much of the devastation commit ted by rebel forces on their march throuf h Missouri and Kentucky, and it is dotibdeis all true. On the devastations committed by our own soldiers, our reports are generally silent : but this does not alter the facts. A regiment or brigade halts for the night, a id I atones tears up a mile of valuable fences to make its fires, though fuel i at hand tt at is of little value. Often pigpens and o it houses are sacrificed to the flames; even doors are wrenched from their hinges and pi'ed on to insure the coveted warmth w th the least trouble. If a house is deserted as it well may be, even by the staunch ist Unionists it is entered and stripped of a'l tha may contribute to the comfort of the bivouac or march ; and often wanton dam aae and ruin are added to spoilation. Fi nally, the premises look too bad to leave as j a witness against the marauders; so so Tie bold, reckless villain applies the torch, i.nd next morning sees nothing but a wreck of chimney and heap of blackened ruins to tell j that a dwelling stood there but yesterday. j Next nipht may witness a kindred specti.cle j rrihAn aenrra va'pd nerh,ir. bv shame-! l'mt v i v, " -g - J f- 1 f J ful insults to women and ruffian abusa of their protectors. And thus thousands vho were Iriendly to the Union cause, or at the worst indifferent, are rapidly transforried into phrenzied, implacable enemies. Personal outrages on the defenceless, we rejoice to believe, have been very rare on either side, but they are not absolutely un known; while Rapine, prompted by In oxi caiion, is far tou common Commarders will not believe it; everjthing is mad ti dy and fair seeming when the word is pass ed that they are coming ; but that matters little. Ride across the Potomac from Wash ington, aid you will see the ruins of gcouly dwellings .7ny of them those of sta inch Union its that ere in good preservation when the rebels last .'eft them a few v eeks ago ; you will see firms ."tripped of f mces and subjected to general devastation ; you will see many things, but no pigs C chick ens, and we are privately assured .'hat wholesale plundering has marked the crack of two divisions of Gen. Fremont's am y in the heart of Missouri. Of course the com manders of those divisions are ignorant of the ravage; but there is no consolation in that fact to the plundered, beggard ci izens who welcome an army of liberators and protectors only to find them general ro bers. The secessionists have more excute tor this; for they must rob to live ; the li-ion-ists have generally pay and rations, and ought to be scrupulously just in all their works and ways. We know it will be st id that the great mass of our soldiers shrink from rap ne as they would from felony at home, aril this is doubtless true. But do they labor" to ex pose the guilty and bring them to ji slice! Only a fow commit these outrages, ut do not many screen them, at least by si 4' ne'e ? They ooght not to do so. The conviction and shooting of two or three marauc era in front of each regiment would be wort i mote to the Union cause lhan a moderate victory. And every honest soldier ought to' iuform rebel spy, since he is a more deadly enemy to the National cause. Patriots in the Union armies! beware of Liquor, your greatest danger and deadliest 1-urse ! Abhor and shun Rapine as you loathe nnd shrink from the blackest treason ! N. r. Tribune. A Utter from tbe flurley Guards. Camp Crosman, ) Huntingdon, Pa. Oct. 25, 1 86 1. j Friend Bill: According to promise I now seat myself upon ihe only familiar article of household or kitchen furniture that our Camp affords, (the Lieutenant's trunk) to srive you a briet description of our journey to this place ; and, in so doing, I thull di vide it as follows : The Startinc Beautiful indeed was the morning on which our boys, twenty five in number, let the bepot at Bloomsburg, with stout hearts and wil ing hands, to wrest our insulted flag from the hands of rebels and trai'or. And though many a bright eye of beauty was dim with tears at parting with husband, bro'hers, friend anil lovers, yet with tear-strea ninz eyes they bid them go forth to battle and bring back the laurel wreath of victory or die in delence of our time honored institutions; and the hearty cheer that ronl the air as the Iron Hure lell the Nation, assured us that though our friends were left behind their prayers and good wishes were with those who had le It their friends and homes to endure the toils, dangers and privations ol a soldier' life. Thb Journkt On ! on !! on !!! and still on ! went the Iron ISteed tearing, thundering and bellowing I ke some infuriated demon, making the very earth tremble with its gi gantic strides, and the hills to resound with its shrill shriekings. As the route to Har rUburg has often been dercnbe.l by other and abler pens than mine, I hall not at present undertake it; suffice it, we arrived at the Sta e Capital at 2i o'clock. We had not time to look nronnd much until the 'toot," 'Moot,'.' of the Steam Engine warned us to ''yet aboard, '' and off we started for Huntingdon, Pa., a distance of 97 miles from Harrisburg, where we arrived about 6 o'clock, p. in ,'when we were informed that our Camp was some three miles from town. After taking supjier at the Hotel, we started on a quick march for Camp. We were welcomed witn three hearty cheers from the assembled soldier. As it was dark we had no opportunity of seeing how thd place looked so we went to our tents and turned in for tie night Our Camp. Our Camp is beautifully sit uated on the t-ouih side of a genily sloping ridge of wood land, which t almost sur rounded by hii"h towering hills whose top penetrate the clouds, and .tro-i;ly remind one ol some picturesquely described moun tain scenery of the old world. We have plenty of good water; there being several strong springs within ten yard of our quar ters. Our Camp is one and a half miles from the celebrated warm springs known as the Cedford Warm Springs,'' and is the resort of the fashionable from our more thriving cities As I have not yet had tune to pay them a visit I arn not prepared to give you any general idea of them;bul hope soon so to do. Yesterday, the 21th. was quite a gala day in Camp, as Col. (late Captain) Dodge of the Regular Army was here and mustered the boys in. So here we are doing work for Uncle Sam and hop that not o-ie of a may ever disgrace the caie in which we are engaged, but that the county we repre sent may point to us-with pride and say, "these are the men who fought for the Con stitution and the Laws." Our rations are Bread, Beef, (fresh) Pork, Beans, Uice, Crackers, Potatoes, Ci-tTde, Sugar. Salt and Vinegar. Who says Uncle Sam does not feed his troops well. We are in Col Murray's Regiment He is an ecel lent othcer As to when we hall ieave here, we do not know; although we think by the SOih of next month. The boys are all well, and in excellent spirits. I will in my next send yoj, if possible, the roll ol our Company. Our Address is Camp Cros man, Huntingdon co., Pa., Care of Captain Frick. I will try and write yon regularly hereafter. Yours, &c , TOODLES. P. S. There is no sickness in our Camp at present. T. THE WAR NEWS. THE CATTLE OF CALL'S BLUFF- Killed, 79; Wonndcd, 111; Missin IV I or Prioncrs, 400. Gen. McClellan is now at his KeaJqaar ters. ana Irom the best data obtained at Harrison Isla-id up to late this evening, it is believed that th number 6f killed is 79, wounded in our poes:ion ami in posses sion of the enemy 141, missing, now pris oners in :he had f the enemy or wander ing in the wot-d on both shore of the riv er, ne t exceeding 400. The total loss in killed, wounded, and mi?sir.j 620. This will be reduced by men returning to camp, as they are constantly coming in. The officers and men behaved with the most extraordinary courage. They were pre-sed by an overpowering force, but stood firm until their whole supply ol ammunition was exhausied,aid then retreated to the riv er, and threw their suns and swords into the river, to prevent the enemy from getting possession o. them. Col. Raymond Lee and staff were furnish ed with a skiff to make their escape. The Col. gallantly refused, and gave orders to use it for convejiu? the wounded across the river. It was filled with wounded, who reached the Maryland shore in safety. The humane and gallant officer was taken pris oner. All credit is due to him. Col. Cogswell took command when Gen eral Baker fell, and behaved with the great est coolness and gallantry. He is also a prisoner. Gen. McClellan returns with renewed confidence in the action and efficiency of his soldiers. The conduct of General Baker, in his ef fort to rescue the Massachusetts and other men, under fire, was heroic beyond descrip tion. Col. Joshna T. Owen, of'the second reg imCQt of the California Brigade, arrived here to-nighf, direct from Edwards' Ferry, and has related Ihe following additional particu lars in regard to ihe recent engagement : The force was 1,736 on our side. Of the number killed, wounded and missing, 237 belonged to Col. Baker's regiment. Capt. Vaushn, who was sent over to bring the dead, reports that a large number of the rebels slain were carried away, while others were interred on the battle field The impression is that their killed far exceeded our6, owing to the efficiency of our artillery. Lieot. Col. Wistar, who was wounded in the shoulder, arm, and jaw, is considered out ot danger. - - '- Capt. Markoe.of Philadelphia.was wound ed in the arm and taken prisoner. Lieot. Williams, of Capt. Putnam's com pany, was killed. Col. Owen farther slates that immediately previous to the fall of Col. Baker.tbe enemy made a flank movement to turn the latter's line. Col. Baker perceiving this, immedi ately wrote an order to be conveyed to the companies of theTammany Regiment, which bad just arrived, and while immediately fa cing hie command to meet the flank move ment, and about giving orders to charge, he was killed, falling tea feet in advance of the colnrnn. The field on which the battle was fought is circumscribed within an area of six acres. Lieut. Bennett, who was taken prisoner, reports that Col. Hatton, of the rebel' army, was killed at the commencement of the en gagement, i This morning none of their encampments or troops are visible, except perhaps a sol dier occasionally passing along the roads tnrough the opening of the forests.
