Mr-Chairman, the extracts rsttd fully il
Ir.strale, in the most satisfactory manner,
I Re pure and deep feeling, and kind and
I enevolent intentions of the gentlemen re
,"rr'"d . r,J re proof posiiive, no doubt
i the high toned sentiments and opinions
of the constituents they so earnestly and
faithfully represent. They certainly require
no further comment from me. They carry
their own commendation.
It must indeed be a desperate case that
has to penrert passages of Scripture to prop
is up. The able gentleman from Massachu
setts, f Air. Elliott) told us the other day to
free the slave and then trust to Providence
for direction ; "lor unto the day sufficient
U the work thereof." If the gentleman bad
rjamitied the original a little closer, he
njiibt have found that it contained an argu
ment agaiust him and not for him. Perhaps
the gentleman did make the discovery and
tried "Q improved edition ; bat, sad to re
lte. be only jumped from the mud into the
mire. . ' - -
.The work that is cojv oo our hands is
more than can be completed in our days,
then do ijot increase the labor by placing
t ti new difficulty in the way; for, to ue
the-eentleraan'sowu words, "sufficient onto
the day is the w,ork thereof." Let os first
cast aside the evils that already beset os,
.and not increase the burden, since we al
ready have as much as we can bear, for
"sufficient nnio the day is the evil there
of"
.Sir, is this a war for the snbjngation of
the South, or the overthrow of rebellion-
U.lt a contest fjr the maintenance oT the
Government, or for the raaiotenanee of ab
olitionism ? .Is this a war for the Union,
the Constitution, and the laws', or is it a war
for disunion ? Do yoa wish fo change all
his strife from a noble and grand effort to
suppress rebellion into the irrepressible
conflict!'1 If this be yonr object, then vote
lor these measures, andjnn will break this
Union into so many fragments that recon
struction will never even be dreamed of.
With the well-known facts of this rebellion
staring as in the face, to advocate this abo
lition policy seems to ma to be almost in
sanity. While I am 0 onnoied to these
measures, still I wish to do the rebels as
much damage as possible, but in a humane
and constitutional way. We are not now
discussing the abstract right or wrong of
slavery, but only the advisability of abol-"
islang it as a means of snppressing this re
. bellion.' While I am opposed to any such
wholesale robbery as is here proposed, still
I ibi'-k the slave of rebels shonld be no
more respected than any other kind of prop
erty. Our path of doty is perfectly clear.
.Reject this abolition policy,' let the Admin
istratiort be true to its noble position, and
success is ours." Adopt it, and yoa sacri
fice the happiness and prosperity of twenty
millions of loyal men; yoo destroy the
hope and glory of the world that yoa may
cive to a few thousand slave that liberty
which "will not make them rich, but us poor
indeed."
But, as a Christian nation, we should
consider the inhumanity of this law. As a
leading journal ably say:
"This policy involves a savage cruelty
nr. worthy of a virtuous and enlightened na
tion. It vio'ates the rules of civilized war
fare, and whatever retaliation might warrant
at against a foreign enemy, it is not to be
thought of by the country in this strife with
her owo if.fatnate.I children " ; . -
Th i is a policy a inhuman a that which
armed the blood thirsty savage in the war
of the .revolution. ..Ii wduUI be well for
the advocates of this measure to ponder on
the ce!ebra;ed-speech ot the Earl of Chath
am. It aiTofJs me pleasure Jo inform my
frierjd.the honorable gentleman fam Penn-
sylrMnia, Mr Kelley. that all Lopes
fount-ed on his imaginary '-General Order
No. CiUft fall to the ground ; that his
chamrio.M, the self constituted wesler.1
commander iu-cheif. Central James. Lane,
has foand by the JoUowing order that a su
perior etTker still has command, and that
lh-j irea corr.rnar.Jer-ia chief has not t-een
intoxicated by the ranting schemes of the
Kansas jay hawker." , , -
I had supposed, from tbe gentleman's
confidence a few days since, that he had
just left the star chamber, and was intirW
ting the intended policy ot the Government.
And now I take pleasure in informing my
friend that the Lane of his admiration has
been brought to a very short turn, and jnst
in time. Now that Union is made the ob
ject of the western expedition, the : hero (?)
refuses to right. There is an honest aboli
tionist for yoa. The nero his "all in all."
Never let fanaticism so far conquer you as
I to obliterate every feeling of humanity.
Nothing less than fanaticism could in my
opinion, prompt any man to defend mea
sures 'that are so ntterly unconstitutional,
inhuman, and unchristian.
Mr. Chai rman, I can never vole away the
treasures of this nation for any soch purpose
If all the vast expenditures that have been
made, if all the lives that bave been sacri
ficed, has been for the cause of abolition,
then we have no ground lor exultation, no
encouragement to continue. Millions for
tbe Uuiou, but not one cent for abolition Sr
When patriots bripg their offerings into the
the temple that the Union may be restored,
I will never give them away to institute a
system that can only eud in its destruction.
Sir, never will I permit all this vast amojnt
of money, now placed on the alter of the
Union, to be squandered and thrown away
to decorate tbe idol ot emancipation. For
myself, for my constituency, 1 may Bay for
the state of New Jersey, 1 solemnly protest
against any such pollution of oar sacred
cause. But should you rush blindfold into
such a course, regardless of the appeals
and protests of a majority of the loyal men
I sincerely trust that ihe laws of nature may
be suspended, and that the effect will not
follow an adequate cause God grant that
our country may be able to survive the stu
pidity of such defenders.
But, Mr. Chairman, why introduce these
diverting measures when our lives and our
liberties are a, stake? If we hesitate we
are ruined. The question now under dis
cussion is, not the power and greatness of
the Republic, but whether all these things
that surrouad us, and the countless bless
ings they bestow, are to continue our own,
or whether they, together with ourselves,
are to fall into the hands of the enemy In
action to os is death! The doctrine that
this rebellion will die by our maintaining
a ' -masterly inactivity" is worse than folly
it is madness. That course has brooght
as to the verge of the precipice, and unless
abandoned will dash ns to destruction. Who
ever heard of giant wickedness growing
weak by tolerance ? It is the duty of truth
to act on the offen-ive, and not await the
attacks of error. I do not desire' to dictate
to the commanders ol the army, and when
I ure action, I meau action combined with
adequate force, not a blind enward to Rich
mond movement, bat action combined with
design, and a power able to accomplish a
desired result. Until we have that power,
it is far better to act on the defensive. As
the motive of the Government rests here,
here the action must commence. The on
ward movement must beg is here. There
fore do I urge action here as essential to
action in the field. We shonld ""practice
first and preach afterwards. Such action as
called forth the admirable order of Secreta
ry Stanton to the army of the Union on tbe
defeat of Zollicoffer, which like the bugle
blast, found its echo in every loyal heart,
and cheered on our patriotic soldiers to re
newed victories in Kentucky and Tennessee
and the splendid triumph of our arms at
Roanoke Inland, where so many of the
brave sons of New Jersey sacrificed their
lives in defence of their coanlry, to the
glory ot themelves and their native State.
Every consideration is calling opon as to
unite and support, not distract and over
throw. Postpone outside measures; let ac
tion be oar motto, not words
1 hope, Mr. Chairman, that'the bill of re
lief that has just passed has not been too
latef But why have the centleman who
have been so anxious to legislate for ihe
welfare of the negro, been so terribly slow
in providing the " sinews of war?" The
Treasury should have received relief two
months ago, and not at the very hour of its
bankruptcy. The secret is here. Mr. Chair
man, they care more for the negro than for
the Union. And let me tell yoa, sir, the
people are fast finding oat that secret
In patting down this rebellion yoa be
gan by despisir:? every act and assertion of
the rebels. The seventy-five thousand men
that were first called out were only so many
armed spies to gaze with wonder on the
gigantic strides the rebel were taking Yoa
beard tbe waves of the rebellion roar, but
consoled yourselves with the thought that
the leak the ship had sprang was not very
important. Ins:ead of -manning the pumps
and preparing for a terrible storm, yoa
thought it would quickly blow over; but
now that the breakers are near, and every
seam is drinking in the angry wses, all
must spring to the pumps and work with
desperation, or the waves yop so despised
wiil complete the work your own short
sightedness began, and roar in triumph over
yoa. Sitting, as we do, beneath tbe very
edge of the daik cloud that threatens to
overshadow our land and eclipse our great
ness, ill does it become as to despair, but
when mo6t burdened we should strive most
to rise. Every blessing that life give; must
be earned before it is enjoyed.
The brow most be covered with the
heart's blood before tbe laurel of the victor
crowns it. Our forefathers, supported by
Godlike patriotism and perseverance car
ried the Revolution through bloody scenes
to a successful issue. The like success
croned iLe-strrgle of 1812 aDd 1346. .We
are fighting those battles over again, against
more powerful foes. Men once honored
and respected oy their countrymen stoop to
do the' work of the midnight assassin, by
burning the bridges on railroads, conceal
ing poison in food, nay, stooping to any
degree of baseness to carry death among
their friends and brothers. Their acts need
boi the horrid war cry of the savage to com
plete the picture. How sad to find in those
we ued to love the proof of Ihe old saying
that "fretodihip lowed to haters tba rnosj '
hoiiuisu passion 01 tne human breast."
When I turn to one side of the picture, and
see assembled thope whose arms are raised
against their country and their friends, I
am sad, sad to think we are in arras against
those who were formerly attached to us by
the; deepest affection, sad that our rejoice
ingsare ove our own brethren.. Bui pir,
when I behold on the other hand, millions
of men rise in defence of their country,
thrilled by the watchword Union, who al
the same time extend the hand of friendship
and onsheath tbe sword of defiance.then do
1 feel that r" "
"War is honorabU
In those who dotheir native rights maintain
In those whose swords an iron barrier ar
Between the lawless spoiler'and the weak.'
If it be necessary for the chariot of wa
to sweep across the whole land, I trust lha.
"the supremacy of the laws" may b,
so deeply impressed in us track that tirnn
itself cannot obliterate it.
I contend, Mr . Chairman, that to main
tain the justice of, and compel obediencn
to the laws, is n6t to subjugate. If the law
are broken with impunity .then we virtuallj
have no laws; and if we have no laws, wn
have no Government. By defending thi
one we maintain the other. If obediencn
to the laws is subjugation, then we are ail
subjugated. If the enforcement of just law
is called subjugation, then commend me 1 1
the word subjugation for the rest of my life.
The land of our forefathers is in peril, th 1
land that Washington gave as is in peril,h
Union, the tree watered so freely for seve 1
long years with their heart's blood, is i 1
peril. Therefore it is that we are called l
stand in the solemn presence of Washing
ton and baptize anew our hearts in th3
ocean of his patriotism, and reconsecrata
ourselves to the glorious cause of preei
ving this nation a "Union of slates none cat
sever."
Would to God some voice had been pc
tent enough to win back every disloyal feel
ing, and bring all to know the supremacy
of the Union, that the latent fires of patriot
ism might have been rekindled, and th it
the North atd the South, having buried ill
selfiishness, partisanship, and sectionalisr i,
might have met arouud the altar of a coni
moit country ;
-'But now since peace is despaired,
Who can think submission."
Let us then sink every other-consideration,
and make Union the beginning, Union
the aim, and Union the end of this war. n
one sublime combination of wisdom patn
oii6m,xand vigor, we can work out our si U
vation from the rebels that aimed thiir
daggers at the heart of the nation :
Destroy thou them, O God; let them fill
by their own connsels; cast them out in tie
multitude of their transgressions, for tfuy
have rebelled against thee."
We must combine action with reason,
which if exerted harmoniously, will insp re
us with a force capable of dispelling all d is
order within and repelling injury from wrh
out. The skies are covered wi h dark and pr
tentiou clouds; now and then the flash of
lightening is seen, now the rumbling muss
is broken and scattered.
. Though everything may be dark and
foreboding, still behind the cloud of rebel
lion the sky is clear and beautiful. Scon
the breath of heaven will sweep acoss the
threatening mass, and one by one the stirs
on that dear banner wilt reappear, then 've
can count the thirty-four, and thank Cod
that they are all there.

The excitement of 'the chase' has alwiys
been supposed to have a healthful tenden
cy; but there is a kind of chase which bre iks
down the constitution, debilitates the frame
and shortens life. We mean the headlcng,
anintermitting hunt after 'the almighty dol
lar,' which is the great bnsiness charac er
istic of the present day. It begets o' her
evils unnecessary to name) which precip
itate the fate of thousands. There is, h w
ever, a possibility of recovery from the
prosiration produced by these causes, lang
alter their victim has ceused to hope for it.
If we are rightly informed, the most as:on
ishing cures of what is called general wnak
ness and debility, which have ever teen
known in this country, have been effe:ted
through the ngency of Doctor HoIIoway's
inestimable remedies. Mere skeletons of
men, out of whom the very principle cf vi
tality seemed to have been drained, lare
been restored to health and vigor bj the
operation of the Pills; and of the Oinln enf,
in cases of paralysis, rheumatism, Sec, we
hear an equally favorable account. If men
will break down their energies by over
exertion if in their anxiety to "go ahead'
they will override the most preciors of
God's blessings, health it is well they
should know how to repair the mischief,
when they come at last to realize thf fact
of their premature decay. The wra:k of
humanity, who without any particulai dis
ease, appear to be sinking from mers ex
haustion, would find without doubt, inrae
diate relief from Dr. HoIIoway's remediss.

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
Berrtville, April 3rd, 1862?' 1
Mr. Editor, In the last number of the
Columbia County Republuan, that reached
our camp, I notice that the shame ol its
Contributor "From the Hurley Guards, No.
IV' was painfully excited, by the pen pf
your able and patriotic correspondent
"Toodles" and to give vent to his pre
tended outraged feelings he' resorts to th
columns of that paper, and proclaims to
the world that th?re are things whioh oth
ers write to a paper of Columbia county,
(meaning "Toodles" to the Star) "that
maices one feel ashamed." As a fellow
I soldier of Toodles', and a lover of justice
; and truth, I cannot refrain from defending
him, :n this unceremonious and malicious
assault upon the, character of his commu
nications. Because a braver and more
dutiful soldier than he, never shouldered
a gun, or faced the 'foe, his cotiduct has
been marked for punctuality and fearless
valor. Yet while he is defending his coun
try, with, the bayonet, from the danger into
which treason has plunged her, he is cen
sured for endeavoring to rescue her, (by
ihe'means of his pen) from the corrupt
hands into whose charge her financial de
partment .was entrusted by the present
administration; by openly and fearlessly
condemning the frauds which the leader
of ponderers practised upon her treasury
during the commencement of the war. If
the execrations of "Toodjes," upon the
heads of those vile peculators who have
bled the country to its very heart, by Ihe
awarding of their dishonest contracts, has
brought the blush to the Republican's
friend's cheek, and shocked his modesty to
such an alarming extent, as to require a
newspaper explanation, it is high time that
the public should be apprised of his own
conduct as a soldier, which to many ap
pears somewhat suspicions. The fact is,
that during the six months he has been
ploying soldier, he has not rendered two
months real service, whenever a march
was ordered he would contrive some plan
to remain back under pretence of sickness,
or a sore knee ; by the same excuse he was
permitted to luxuriate, partly on Govern
ment expenses, in Cumberland until he be
came as "sleek and fat" as Henry Clay's
boasted slaves, and yet upon' returning to
camp he had the audacity to assert that his
disease was pronounced (by some eminent
Physician of the West) ''Indigestion or dys
pepsia," produced by exposure and the
food of camp life. Who but a miserable
. Quack would attribute indigestion to ihe
healihy diet of the soldier, namely, hard
bread and pork or baco'i, although I do
not dispute that the quantity which he fre
quently eats,' produces a disagreeable and
imfolent feeling.
Where was th'n modest and easily morti
fied writer on Sunday, the 23rd ult., when
his services were required in the field of
battle at Winchester? Was he seen parti
cipating in the deadly conflict against the
rebels, for the hocor and safety of his coun
try, or was he found in a certain cowardly
crew who stayed behind, and hid among
the trees of the woods, and be-ieaih a straw
stuck? Why in the latter crowd of course.
Next comes the important question: Where
will he be when that worthy functionary,
the Paymaster, makes his appearance ? No
doubt among the fir-t to receive the unde
served wages which the country is obliged
to squander upon him, as the result of bis
mUreprtfeenting himself at the time of en
listment. But rtotwithstai ding this voluntary neg
lect of duty under the disguire of incompe
tence, which his appearance and actions
betray, he elicits the denunciation of the
Editor of the Jiepufiliatn, on the head of
' Toodles." Let this not discourage yoa,
'Toodles," you are not the only one that
the old abolitionist assails with his pro
foundly studied elements of "billingsgate."
Every one who voted for Breckinridge :n
1860, and who fights the battles' of the
country, shares the same fate. The valiant
Seigel of course suffers uith you, and in
his edition of the 20th ult., he vainly at
tempts to pluck the bard earned laurels
from the brow of the gallant M'Clellan, to
decorate the head of the hero of wedges
and maul notoriety, who U himself, too
modest and honett lo make any great mili
tary pretensions. A large portion of the
84th belongs to the same class to whom
this rabid editor is preaching treason, and
whom he endeavors that they are traitors
because John C. Breckinridge, for whom
they voted, turned out to be one. But the
ungradnated M. D.'s sophestry wont reach.
They have proved their loyalty in a man
ner which his brawling patriotism forbids
him to attempt. Why not lay down his
infamous pen, and cease to calumrrate the
brave aud heroic soldiers, whose blood cov
ers the earth with crimson as the result of
every victory? Why not buckle on the
armor and assist in quelling the deadly
strife, in which he and bis abolition friends
were so busily engaged lo foment? Ball
presume he fears he might possibly meet
with a straw stack, were he to get into an
Justice.

Friend Will, Another move for the 84th.
We left Winchester on the 27th and came
to this place to relieve the 27th Indiana
Regiment in guardingthe town. Berryville
is 10 miles from Winchester, and is the
county seat of Clarke County. It contains
300 inhabitants, and previous to the break
ing out of the war it supported two news
papers; but ihe editor of one, the Clarke
Journal, took up arms and joined Johnson's
army, was wounded at the battle of BolPs
Ron, and shortly alter died from tbe effects.
At present there is only one paper the
'Conservator" published here. Some of
the Printers of the 84th took possession of
the other Office and issued a small sheet,
entitled the "Cartridge Box"; but from ihe
fact that it published some home thrusts at
those cowards who eo ingloriously crept
behind 6traw-8iacks, and hid in the woods,
(among them that truthful correspondent of
the Columbia Co. Republican) r that the Colo
nel issued an order forbidding any copies
of the paper being tent out of Camp ; but
the order came too lae, for some of them
leaked out in spite ofthe order. Tbe cow
ardsofour Company received no credit in
Capt. Frick's report of the battle. (

sheet, the RepuUican, a communication
signed "A E. Kline", in which that necoA

Star, Ha, ha ! really, friend Kline, 1 hope
yon will tell the truth in the future, and let
the readers of that Quack machine know
how valiantly you' fought in the reat batire
at Winchester. If he does not, I know of a
certainly that the Records of the Company
will expose him Capt. Frick came near
having him court martialed, for cowardice
before the enemy. I refer your reader to
the Captain himself as evidence that these
are truths. But I will let this dimple and
spreader of the Gospel pass for this time, and
since he commenced the affair, I hope he
will keep it up, until the readers of the Star
shall know of a truth, that A. E Kline is
not only a ccwfid but a liar and thief a.
thief in trying to sleal the good name of
others, and a liar in saying that he was in
the great fiyrht.
News is scarce hereabouts; but reports
slid come in that the Rebels are makin:r a
stand at Sirasburj.

was engaged in cleaning his gnu, it was

although we have splendid weather, yet
sickness appears to be on the increase.
I is rumored in camp that our beloved
Captain has tendered his resignation, on
account of ill health Shonld bis resigna

best friend, the retimeni one of its best
officers, and the country one of its bravest
defender. He leaves for Pa. to-morrow,

i Capt. Commanding Co. D., 84th Reg:, P. V.
We have been informed that a few noto
rious abolitioriis's of this county, have got
ten up petitions to the President for the re
movai of General McClellari from the com
mand of theU'S. army, which they are
now circulating with the view of getting
signers. Tbe petitions like Bannan's mi'itarj
necessity, are destined lo dra? out a weary
existence and end in the disgrace of their
authors. General McCiellan is too firmly
seated in the aflectionsol the peop'e of our
country to be reached by any efforts of
teasonable aboltionists Pottsville Standard.
THE REPAIRS of the Baltimore and Ohio
tailroad being finished, ihe road has been
opened again for tradeaud travel Four hun
dred heavily laden cars have already passed
th rough the lately disturled districts and
two hundred freight cars have arrived at
Baltimore from the west, being the first
since last April. .The first pasenger train
west left Baltimore on Tuesday.
One hundred and fifty sons of Erin, who
were in Jackson's rebel army, refused to
fire upon the Union troops, and were com
pelled to submit to a destructive fire by he
ing placed in the front line. There are thou
sands more who anxiously await the oppor
tunity to escape from the Southern army to
join the Union hosts. '
Crops in Ilmvois A gentleman inform?
the Alton Democrat that he never saw win
ter wheat so promising at this season of
the year as it is now. He thinks there will
be more than an average crop raised this
year if no unforeseen circumstances prevent
it. It has been a bad winter for peaches,
and it is exceedingly doubtful if a third of a
crop is raised this yea'r. Apples, however,
have not been injured to any great extent,
if any.
Discretion is the better part of valor. At
least so thought thoe "brave'' men who
soaght the shelter of the straw stack in the
late tattle.
Health for the Soluikr. For one who
dies from the effect of the bullet; ten perish
from camp and exDosure to ni-ht air
.Small doses of Holioway' Pills taken every
tuner nisrut win correct all disorders ol the
Liver and Stomach, purify the blood, and
insure eosml health to every man. Only

In Money Borough, Lycoming county,
on Monday, the 24th day of March, 1862,
Mrs. Rebecca D. Mozki.v, wife of Charles
Mozely, aged 35 year, 7 mos. and 3 days.
There will no more porrow,no more pain,
She will be happy there,
Weep not our loss will be her gain,
In heaven to meet prepare.
Oh! her hands so meekly folded,
While she drew the parting breath.
She is sleeping, ome one whispered,
But it was the sleep of death.
