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-!

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.

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 ,

P. S. There is no sickness in our Camp

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.
