General Stone.
We find the following in Thursday's ia
sue of the New.York Evening Post, a paper
which has shown no disposition to particu
larly faror Geoeral Stone:
'A prirate letter from a well-informed
and fair-minded man in Washington says:
I have 6een our Massachusetts officers
who were in. the battle of Ball's Bluff, and
heard from others of the Twenty-eighth who
were lookers on ; have also seen en officer
of tigh rank in the California regiment
( Baker's j) they all concur in potting on
Baker tl?s responsibility of the Ball's Bluff
disaster.5 Within a month General Scott as
sured me of his entire confidence in Stone
and added that he rendered him the great
est possible service in organizing his force
for the defence of Washington daring the
dark dajs of last winter, when the fate of
the capital bung trembling in the balance."
'It 6hould require positive proof ta show
that one who helped to save the seat of
government from capture by the rebels, at
a time when we were weak, and when, by
mere inaction, be might perhaps have turn
ed, the scale against us, has now, when we
are strong, become an accomplice of the
rebels. Still more strange would it be it
such a man, after distinguishing himself by
such service?, should add murder to treach
ery, lay a &nare for the live3 of his fellow
citizens of Massachusetts, and bring their
blood upon his bead.
"General Sione bhould be made responsi
ble for bis follies and imprudences, but, dis
graceful as is his want of sympathy for free
dom and bis disposition to make slave
catchers of the soldiers, we have no right
to infer from this that he is a traitor. In
any case, we have no right to condemn
him in advance. By exaggerating his de
linquencies we may occupy the public at
tention too much with b't3 case, awaken a
jmpath) in his faror, and make a party
for him.- This, by all mean, should be
avoided, lis is now in good hands ; let us
leave him there; he will have, we hope, an
early trial, at the end of which we expect
to know more of the Cannes of the Ball's
Bluff disaster than we do now.-'
The force of these suggestions remarks
the Boston Advertiser, must strike any one
who fairly considers them, and sbould
prompt a candid suspension of judgment in
this painful case. . We must add that the
"want of sympat-hy with freedom, and dis
position to make slave catchers of the sol
diers, " which the Evening Post Uys to the
General's charge, is indignantly denied by
perso&s of character, who have long been in
his command, and who are as sensitive
upon such points as the Post itself. That
joarnal is misled in this respect by a ground
less clamor which has been raised for pop
ular effect-
The following, which we cut from the
columns of the Pottsville Miners' Journal, is
one of the curiosities of newspaper litera
ture: We bare it on good authority, that within
the past week, Hon. David Wilmot and
Hon. Simon Cameron have been in Har
risbur?, and that the matter of substituting
Mr. Wilmot as Minister to Russia, in place
of Mr. Cameronwas the subject under con
sideration. The prime movers in this new
arrangement are said to be parlies who,
through the complaisance of Mr. Cameron,
have made fortunes doringthia war and who
cot yet gorged, are anxious to keep Mr.
Cameron in this country, for the purpose ef
addin? to their ill-goiten, gains, through
bia influence. We respect Mr. Cameron tor
the labors he has performed. Wa believe
that he endeavored to do bis duty while
Secretary of War, but that the pressure up
on him of hordes of rapacious and tbeiving
Democrats, hose trade is raids in every
imaginable shape, on the public treasury,
was too strong, and that be deviated from
the strict line. We hope that Mr. Camer
on will repadiate thi new movement. If
cot, tha President, we trust, will not con
sent to the proposed change.
What a melancholy instance of misplaced
confidence, that Simon Cameron while en
deavoring to do his doty as Secretary of
War, like an . honest man and a patriot,
should have been surrounded by "hordes of
rapacious and thieving Domocrals" and his
unsuspecting good nature imposed upon !
These Democrats are at the bottom ot all
mischief, and they never did anything more
detestable than, when they inveigled Si
moa into" raids of every imaginable shape
on the public treasury," and beguiled him
to his ruin.
If there i one pre-eminent qualification
for which Mr. Cameron has hertofnre been
lauded by his friends and admirers, it is his
thorough knowledge of men and general
business talent. Can the Miners Journal
or any other apolojist of . the ex-Secretary
of War, inform us ho he happened to com
mit so great a blunder, with all his knowl.
edge of Pennsylvania politics and politi"
cians, as to surround himself with this ra
pacious and tbeiving horde 1 This is mys
tery number one. Mystery number two is,
that a man of such profound financial sa
gacity should have furnished Mr. Alexan
der Commings with an unlimited supply of
money wherewith he purchased London
porter, Scotch ale, iinen pantaloons, straw
hats and other military supplies ; and stran
ger still, that op to the latest advices, Mr.
Cumming had neither disgorged or settled
an account of his disbursements with the
War Department. A free and easy system
this good lor Cummin', but bad, exceed
i".z' ' tiJ for the Treasury.
- we suppose it will be contended that
Cumraings was a rapacious and thieving
Democrat," who imposed upon the easy
and unsuspecting confidence of the late Sac-
relnry. - " ' -
Vanon9 reasons are assigned why Mr.
Cameron desires to go back to the United
Piates Seriate. The Journal seems .persua-
dri that tlii object is mere plunder. Olh-
ers say that it ia to punish the President and
his Administration, and ethers again that
the thought of Russian exile is extremely
diMastefal. But whatever motives may be
at the bottom of the movement now on foot
to effect a trade between these exemplary
statesmen, Cameron and Wilmot, the very
worst luck we can wisW-ihe Republican par
ty is that they may succeed. If the Repub
licans wish to hang a millstone around the
neck of their party that will sink them deep
er than plummet ever, sounded, let them
elect Simon Cameron to (he Senate and
make his name. and reputation an issue in
the next canvass.
Blotting Oat States.
A special despatch to Washington in the
New York Tribune, states that the Territo
rial Committees of both houses have nearly
matured a bill which " proposes to divide
the whole rebel country into Territories, or
ganized as if embracing newly settled lands
under Territorial Governments, the organic
law of which, taking no uotice of any of the
peculiar institutions ot the late rebel States,
shall treat them as free territory." Th;s is
substantially Senator Sumner's plan, and is
the rankest kind of secessionists We can
not believe that any responsible commit'ee
of Congress will venture to propose any
thing so palpably unconstitutional. Con
gress has no power to blot a single State out
of the Union, and the attempt to do so
would be as treasonable as the effort of the
secessionists to withdraw certain States from
the Union.
As our armies advance from victory to
victory, Congress should endeavor to culti
vate the Union feeling which undoubtedly
exists to a great extent among the masses of
the Southern people, instead of threatening
to reward loyalty by degradation. We need
the co -operation of the Southern people to
restore the Union, and we must have it to
secure a permanent peace. This proposi
tion to destroy certain States evidently comes
from the abolitionists'who are at heart op
posed to the restoration ot the Union as it
was, and ready toJhrow every obstacle in
the war ot such a termination of the war.

heard every day Irora the lips of many of
our Republican brethren in and about this ,
place. They are now loud in their decla
rations for the Union, having go: their eyes
open to the error of their ways, and con
fessed the wrong in their former expressed
opinions. They were then, when making
such expressions as above quoted, rank and
avowed secessionists. They now swing
their bats and shout for the Union. Are
they sincere now, or were they sincere a
year ago? Have they lost all hatred to
wards the South or are they jubilent be
cause the South is gelling beautifully whip
ped! They are Union all over now, and
we are glad to see it, although it comes
wilh rather a bad grace. These speedy
conversions we have very little faith in.
War News The papers of Monday and
Tuesday tell us of Clarksville being evacu
ated, the place where it was suspected the
rebels would make a stand after ihe capture
of Fort Donelson. We also have accounts
from tolerably good authority that the reb
els are leaving Centreville and Manassas in
Virginia. The news to this effect is be
lieved at Washington. From all quarters
we have cheering accounts, enough to sat
isfy us that this war is being speedily
brought to a close. The last accoonts from
Missouri are of a cheering character; they
report the capture of the rebel Price and his
entire staff with a large number of his rebel
soldiers. Secession must be pretty effec
tually driven out of Missouri by Gen Hunt
ter. From Alabama the Union cause looks
bright. The Union men are rising in that
State and bid fair to crush out rebellion in
a short time. The latest report from Savan
nah tells ns that the place is being occupied
by the Federal forces, and that the rebels
are leaving for Nashville, Tennessee, where
there may be some little fighting. Along
the Potomac the array js preparing for a
general move, wbich may be looked for
within a week or less time.
Thc American Stock Journal ha? jut en
tered a new volume, it being an excellent
time to subscribe. The price S1.00 a year
always in advance. It is decidedly the best
Stock Journal published in the United States.
Its chief objects are to improve the different
kinds of stock thereby making stock more
valuable and the raising of it more profitable.
Our farmers in this section should look np
a little to this interest, as their pride in this
particular part of agricultuie.isnot of a high
character. There is much room in Colum
bia county for Aha improvement of stock
generally. Published in New York city.
Dailt Amesicar. We received the first
issue of the Daily American on Monday even
ing last, published by Brower &Son at Dan
ilia. This is entirely a new enterprise,
undertaken by the editor of the Montour
American, which paper has been discontin
ued and the Daily taken in it? place. Long
may it live, but we have little faith in Dan
ville and its surroundings supporting a dai
ly paper. Brower has energy enough to
publish half a dozen daily pspers at one
time if that was all that was needed.
The Old Union.
If gentlemen, who have vague ideas of th J
possibility of extinguishing slavery: ani
making a new nation out ot the old, wt 1
attempt te place their thoughts in orde ,
they will find it a difficult matter. Theie
is nothing before us but the old Union. The
principle which -must guide every sound
man is simply that the rebellion is againi t
the Constitution and the Constitution s
against the rebellion. It we are fighting
for anything else bnt the Constitution, then
iodeed we are adrift and no man can tell cn
what rocky shore we are to be wrecked.--The
rights which are iiot given to the Gen
eral Government by the Constitution a s
reserved to the people of the several State b.
The object of the war is just as much as " o
secure ihosa reserved rights of the States,) s
to secure any power of the United States -
For the United States are the protectors
and defenders of the rights of the States,
and the very reservation of the Constitution
is a pledge of the nation to the States i n
their severalty, that those reserved rights
shall be kept to 'hem. The old question
of State Rights does not come into the dii
cussion. These are State rights which ill
concede. These are as strong and as valu
able as any of the rights of the Union. If
we are to lose any of these by the war, if
the war were to be prosecuted to preser-e
a national government at the expense of
destroying any of these reserved rights of
States, it becomes at once manifest, to the
feeblest comprehension, that the war wou'd
not be for the United States at all, bat
would be, as Lord John Russell seemed to
think it, a war of sections for empire.
The moment we abandon this plain prin
ciple we are on the road to ruin. What is
the war for? is the question the world is)
asking. The answer is that the war is for t te
the Government against the revolt. Wlat
is your Government ? is the next questicn.
It is the Constitution, is the answer. Tf at
catechism U brief, clear and eorapie
heusible. If any man should say we (re
fighting for the Declaration of Indepen
dence, for the rights of man, for the fr e
dom of the human race, for liberty, or or
any other object than the Government, he
at once changes the war to one of people
against people, and he will had the wo Id
very likely to say, "Oh then, it's a fiee
iht, and our sympathies may as prope ly
go to one side a the other."
'tis not a free fight. It is a contjst
of authority against a revolt The Engl sh
ad French nations have had some expjr- j
say, ,lthi is no longer a government sip-
pressing a revolt, but it is a war of two
great bodies of people, without conM tn-
lions, without anything but the form o" a
government, and we may therefore in er- i
,.i. r ,.,,.. :r 1
vene lor the sake of humanity, ,f not ioH
Other reasons."
This very argument is already urged in
Europe. The United States are not in 1hat
condition however.

would fight for her race of kings, ot a
France once, before her allegience to the
race of Corsica, would have fought for the
descenders of Louis the Saint.
It becomes us to keep the war firmly on
this basis, to avoid even the appearance of
a war of mere ideas. Not to present
foreign interference. That may come,
whatever course we pursue, and if we are
so weak and wasted as to be under the
necessity of submitting to it. it will be a
lamentable fact. But we should keep the
war to its original principle for the sak( of
right, duty, the safety ol the States, and the
preservation ot a record for posterity.
Whatever the future has in store for us,
let no loyal American abandon the Old
Union tor any ideal form of governmei t.

OUR A II 31 Y CORRESPONDENCE.
Camp PiERPONTFeb 13th, 1862.
Mr. Editor: Haviagafew leisure
ments, 1 shall endeavof to inform you of
the little that is now transpiring in and
about camp,
At writing, and for tie last three weeks,
we have been almost tost in the "sacred
soil,' or more properly, this deluge of mud.
Occasionally we are favored with a slight
sprinkling of snow, but it seldom, if ever,
lasts six hours. Wading through mud tha!
is almost unfathomable is not calculated to
inspire one with patriotism or love for the
"old Dominion," but on the contrary damp
ens the arder of many. With the excep
tion of dress-parade and guard duty, scarce
ly anything has been done, and we remain,
with no indications to the contrary, her-
metrically sealed m our huts. The dull
and monotonous scenes of Camp and our
inaction combined, is enough to breed des
pondency among soldiers.
Rumors of every descriotion, as nomer
ous as conflicting, are now afloat in camp,
in regard to the movement of this regiment,
and the reserve. Now most ot these have
no foundation, and not entitled to credit but
otten receive it, and of course create some
excitement. Excitement is, in my opinion,
indespensible, tor soldiers can almost live
on it, independent of "Uncle Sam's" cast-
steel crackers. The rumor mostly credited
is that the reserve will reinforce Gen. Hal-
lock in the west. What makes this seem
probable is the arrangement the government
has made with certain rail road companies
to transport troops tor eight consecutive
days.
Notwithstanding the inclement weather
there is every indication of kn early advance
of the army of the Potomac, large bodies of
troops have at different limes crossed the
long-bridge into Virginia, and every des
cription of ammunition, together with sub
sistence and tor a vigorous campaign. Un
the 10th two batteries of the best rifled can
non passed camp on their way to Gen
Smith's division. There is quia a large
p.umber of these infallible expounders of rea
son among us, and I am inclined to believe
they will be brought into requisition at no
distant dav. and the inference may be
drawn that they will make a march that
will Ions be remembered by the ragamuffins.
What co arte the reserve will late remains
to be seen. If it is marched against Lees
burg or Centreville it will have a pretty
hard road ta travel These are rebel strong
holds, and are well provided with natural
defences. , The apnroches. which aro few,
are guarded with the best guns of the "Con-
leueracy." ro we can expect a pretty
warm reception in that quarter, for we have
reason 10 beiieve they will contest every
inch or ground between this and Manassns.
Th6 late success ot our armies in Ken
tucky, Tennessee and North Carolina, was
received with every manifestation of joy in
camp; the mountains of the '"'Old Domin
ion" have again and .again reverberated
with the "three cheers and tiger'' of Penn-
sjlvanians. This is, we may well believe,
Ten secessionists, 'honored" by a caval
ry guard, passed camp the other day. and
are this time enjoying the hospitality of the
government." Their appearance indicates
anything but comfort being ragged, diny
and saucy. They were captured while in
the net of searching a house. A few shots
were fired from the windows, wounding
Cap. Wilson and a private of the "Came
ron Dragoons."
Considering the weather, the regiment is
in a healthy condition. Yours &c.

fell in, and
anxiously awaited the order lo march The
firing being in the direct 'on of Winches
ter, we naturally supposed that Jackson
had made a forced march with his troops
ard would attack us.
But the firing ceased, and all become
quiet again. Iu a state of awful suspence,
we awaited the return of the messengers
tent out, by Gen Landers. At last the sound
of horse's teet tell upon our ear, and a mes
senger dashed into our midst, with the in
telligence that a rebel force of about two
hundred, had attacked our out posts and
driven them in ; but, unexpectedly, fell
afoul of one of our batteries, of four guns,
which opened upon them, wilh grape and
canisu-r, and alter giving them ten rounds,
hey broke, and fled in every direction.
What their loss is we cannot ascertain.
Ours was only a few wounded, and them
slighlly We have just heard that the Bum
side Expedition has captured the Island of
Roanoke and dispersed the rebels, killing
and capturing all their force, but about
sixty. But I must close, as we have orders
to fall in, and march. There is bloodytimes
ahead. So look out for news from this quar
ter. Another false alarm. We are again in
quarte.s. All ihe rest of the forces leave

Camp Chase, Paw Paw Tunnel,
Virginia, Feb. 17, 1862. f
Friend Will: I have a few items that may
nrove ot interest to you and your readers ;
and I shall relate them iu as few words as
nnssible.
The first is a skirmish that occurred at a
small villaae about 12 miles from here, in
the direction ot Winchester. On Thursday
evening the 1st Virginia Cavslry, about 600
strong, started on a scouting expedition, and
traveled in the neighborhood of eight miles,
when thev stopped for the night. In the
morning they siarted again, and at 8 o'clock,
just as they bad entered a corn field to feed
their stock, tley were attacked by about
600 hundred j rebel infantry. The boys
snruns to their saddles in an instant and
ratnrned the fire with marked effect. The
firm lasted akout one hour when the reb
els retreated it every direction, leaving 33
Hiad on the field and 60 prisoners. Among
them were Cl. Balm, who commanded the
rebel forces, iheir Lieut. Colonel, and thir
teen commisiioned officers of all grades.
Their Maior waa killed. Had the infantry
come op in time the whole force would
have been ciptured. Our loss was 2 killed
and 2 wounded. The dead were sent to
their friendi on Satarday. The prisoners
were sent to Columbus Ohio for safe keep-
inP-
The rebe Co one said we wouw do rignt
well until we got to Winchester and then
we would catch h I. Our troops fell back
and on Sunday the rebels, numbering about
6000, re-occupied their former position.
The greatest enthusiasm prevails in camp
at present on account of the success of our
troops at fort Hamilton, which was read
to them to-day by the orders ot the General.
Cheer after cheer rent the air, and tears
could be seen trickling down the cheeks of
the hardy soldiers ; the heaving bosom
the silent griping of the hands showed
plainly that the heart was loo full for speech.
The bands played "Hail Columbia," -'Star
Spangled Banner," "E Pluribus Unum," and
numerous other national airs. I never wit
nessed as much enthusiasm manifested in
all my life befote. I dare not write on any
subject, but just what we are doing, as
some of the hot-headed fanatical Rebubli
can Abolition Officers have taken exceptions
to my letter, in your issue of February 5th,
in regard to honest Simov and the nigger
question; so for fear that I might fall into
the clutches of the powers that be, and be
shipped to Fori Warren or some other point
of retaining State prisoners, I must seal my
mouth, and not say aught against the most
rascally acts that ever disgraced civilized
nations. But if we are to have the freedom
ot thought and speech, which they boasted
of as a part of their creed, when they were
straining every nerve to' accomplish their
ends, and elect their candidates, in which
they but too well succeeded, I should like
lo see it carried out with Democrats as well
as with favorite Republicans.
I hope, yea long, for the time to come
when there shall be another election, and
then let the people speak out and say in
unmistaken language at the ballot box, that
they repudiate such tyranical conduct and
such villainous and ruinous speculations as
have of late been practiced upon the Treas
ury of the United States, by the minions of
Abraham the 1st.
If you do not hear from me next week,
you may rest assnred that I have fallen a
martyr to the cause of constitutional liberty,
as preached and prac:iced by our fore-fathers,
and which I shall defend ss long as I
can see my way as plainly as I do at pres
ent. Yours, Sic. Toodles.
P. S. I see that the Republican of your
place published a letter signed T. E Simon
ton, which was written by your humble
servant, as a favor and not intended for
publication, or I should have 6ent it lo the

whence desinging men may endeavor to ex
cite a belief that there is a real difference of
local interests and views. One of the ex
pedients of party to acquire influence, with
in particular districts, is, to misrepresent
the opinions and aims of other districts.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania in General Assem
bly met, and it is hereby enacted by the
authority of the same : That whenever any
Poor tax assessed on unseated lands in Co
lumbia County shall not be voluntarily paid
by the owner or owners thereof, the collect
or or overseer of the poor of the proper dis
trict, as the case may be shall certify the
same to the proper County Commissioners,

Secretary Cameron's Contracts. Van
Wyck's Investigating Committee is in pos
session of about thirty contracts with the
signature of Simon Cameron, Secretary of
War, attached to them. This is at direct
variance with hi3 statement to Congress,
that all contracts were given out by the
proper beaureaus of bis department. It will
be difficult to reconcile the deliberate as
sertion of the late Sectetary with the start
ling facts that are being daily brought to
light. These contracts, it is understood, are
countermanded, and will be held in abey
ance until thoroughly sifted and examined.
Mr. Stanton, the successor of Cameron,
has turned politicians adrift snubbed them
short off. Political services for this or that
party, have no weight with him, and that
certain Republican members of Congress
ar,e in a terrible rage. For military promo-
tionB, he goes to the tented field; and for
civil officers, he selects those who have
.
ueen uisdL'ieu in uie service.
H. W. Drown, the blustering Kepablican
Editor of the Bellefonte Democrat, and late

Our Navy.'lhat was the pride of the war
of 1812, has lost in this war nothing of its
ancient renown. Dupont, Foote, String
bam, and Burnside are names that will ;e
ransmitted to history with those of Law
rence, Perry, Hull and! Bainbridge. If :he
European powers should ever interfere in
favor of the unholy rebellion that has at-
tempted the detructionof our Government,
we &hall look to ihe Navy to maintain the
freedom of the seas, and carry the flag of
the Union in triumph throegb the contest.
