Oo the first page of this paper enr read
era will find a most exemplary exposition
cU the apoatacy of our administration. The
article published is taken from the A. x.
m
Times, a strong advocate of Abraham Lin
. coin since bis nomination in I860, and the
first to call his name as a candidate for four
years more. That part declaring the mis
sion of the confederate gentlemed Hol
comb, Clay and Thompson to be a move
tnent to gain correspondence with the Dem
ocratic party of the North, and make pro
positions which may result in the restora
tion of the Union in the event of the Chi
cago nominee being successful, appears to
have no foundation. Neither the Confed
erate representatives, nor Mr. Greely, nor
any one who was a party in the transac
tions at Niagara, have given us an account
of such intention oo the part of Messrs.
Clay, Holcomb and Thompson. It is mere
ly a conjecture made by Mr. Lincoln's par
tisan followers, with the view of shielding
him as macb as possible from the infamy
of his actions.
The "way faring man, though a fool,"
cannot but see the awfal import of Abra
ham's ' To WHOM IT MAT CONCERN," CODHDO-
nicated to the confederate commissioners
en the ttb day of July, 1864, who were en
deavoring, by a humane, voluntary act of
intermediation, to stop the internecine war
which rages in our midst. Who will dare
to say after reading the terms of peace tet
down by the perjured and malicious Exec
utive of the Federal government, that the
continuance of this war is for a juot and
bumau'e object ? Who will dare to deny
(hat i! !s not a mere fanatical crusade upon
the Southern people, subjugating,, destroy

But Abraham Lincoln has given us a pre-
tavi it Kte rVianata ArvacnAnr1ana 1 1 t
from hi own words honsst peopla nhaold
oppose his recreancy. After solemnly appearing-
in the presence of the Alaiigbty
and imploring his wrath if ha did not faith
fully execute the office of President of the
United States and, to the best of-his ability,
preserve, protect and defend the Constitu
tion of the United States, he, in his inau
gural, march 4th, 1864, said : I declare that
I have no purpose directlt oa -indirectly, to
interfere with the institution cf slavery it the
States where it exists. I Ubeve I have no law
ful right to do to, and have no ikcxihat ov to
do so."
Again, when issuing a call for more
troops, he appealed to the people who were
declaring they would net fight to fre the
negro, and told them to fight fcr the Union,
and that when be converted the war to the
purpose of freeing the negro it would be an
apt time to declare tbey would not fight.
He has now said to you or' 'Jo whem it
may concern," that this war shall not be
abandoned, the battle-cry shall not be bush

not stop, till the black man's freedom shall
have t-?a aecored, till Jefferson Davis'con

Scoldcbs. -About the cheapest way in
the wDrW to be "loyal" is to roondly scold
the rebels and the rebellion occasionally
varying the programme by cursing the cop
perheads. '. We know several presses that
are entirely sustained by this kind ef "pa
triotism," and several individaals,who nev
er had an extra (foliar, to bless themselves
with, whose gains are reckoned by the hun
dred thousand all through scolding. Fight
ing your country's battles and getting a leg
or an arm knocked off is not half so patri
otic and loyal as scolding the rebellion at a
distance of two hundred acd fifty miles from
danger. As an evidence of this, did you
ever know of a wounded soldier, who had
left the service, to get any other sort of a
public aquation than to break stone on the
streets,' hold somebody's horses, or attend
to somebody's chores ? The scolders will
be found to occupy ail the fat offices, and
the amount, and violence of the scolding is
always regulated by the pay of the posi
tion or contract. It is a pity, however, that
so much good scolding shou'd be wasted at
a distance. If the Washington authorities
wontd avail themselves of this adjunct to
military operations, and would place the
great host of scolders in the immediate
front, they might succeed in blowing t he
Confederacy to atoms with the concentra
ted wind of one t ig scold ; er at all events
the chivalry would be unable to endure so
constsnt a stream of coarse language and
would retire in disgust. It is suggested that
the matter be tried, at any rate, for, if it
cannot have that effect, there will be this
certainty that none but the very "loyal"
the "roost intensely patriotic" weuld be
entrusted with places of honor at the front.
Let a division of loyal scolders be organized
at once for immediate service before Richmond.
That there are disunionists in the South
as well as in the North, there is no reason
able doubt. They have always played jnto
one anothera bands, and are no doubt doing
so yet. But there is this difference in the
South they are not so numerous and are
out of power. There is no Adams, no
Rhetts, no Yanceys, no Iversons in power
in the South, whilst on the contrary, the
whole North, from the National to nearly
all the State Governments are in their
hands. A few weeks ago we showed with
what reluctance Jefferson Davis, Alexander
H. Stevens, Gov. Moore, Gov. Letcher, Gov.
Brown, Seidell, Cobb, Rust, Yulee, Hooter,
Floyd and others, left the Union. They
parted from necessity and not from choice.
The madness of the Northern agitator left
them no other alternative. Below we insert
the sentiment of a Southern conspirator to
wards bis allies, the disunionists of the
North. We extract from the remarks of
Gov. Adams,, of South Carolina, during the
agitation'tpreceding aud attending seces.

- "The abolitionists are our best friends.
Thank God for what they have already
done ; and for the inestimable blessing
tbey were about to confer, they were enti
tled to our warmest gratitude. Their as
saults have been unceasing, but all for our
good. Tbey have furnished us a justifica
tion for dissolving our connection with

Loyally Pays.
We see it stated that President Lincoln
has never drawn one dollar from his salary.
A latter writer states that "his Excellency
remarked receutly that he did not intend to
lilt any portion of his salary until tie end
of his second term, at which time it would
amount to a nice sum." This looks strange.
In 1860 Mr. Lincoln's friends represented
him as being very poor, not worth a thou
sand dollars, and this they say wss evidence
of his honesty. Where does he now ob
tain Lis means ? Former Presidents had to
draw their salaries quarterly, and had not
enongh of money to provide for their wants,
but Mr. Lincoln, it appears, can live sump
tuously for eight years on nothing. Is be,
too, on the shoddy business, or is cotton
now king with him ? ;He is certainly ma
king money very rapidly by some means or
other. Hie son "Bob," too, as we have
heard has within the last three years be

three hundred thousand dollars. "Loyalty'

A writer in the Christian Recorder says
that on the tenth pf May, at Wilson's Land
ing on the James River, a few miles above
Jamestown, a wealthy farmer by the name
of Clayton, who bad been' captured by our
army while on a foraging expedition, was
tied to a tree by order of the commanding
officer, and undressed by one of his own
slaves and whipped most unmercifully. It

seems our army naa eapturea some oi Air.
Clayton's female slaves the day before.who
were required also to take . a hand in the
game. We will quote the writer's own
language. "On the arrival of Mr. Clayton
in camp the commanding officers determin
ed to have their revenge, aud ordered Mr.
C. to be tied to a tree in front of head-quarters,
and Wm. Harris, a soldier in pur regi
ment, and member of company E, who was
acquainted with Mr. C. and who used to
belong to htm, was called to nndress him,
and introduce him to the ladies his own
slaves that I mentioned before. Harris
played his part conspicuously, bringing the
blood from his loins at every stroke, and
not forgetting to remind the gentleman of
days gone by. After giving him some fif
teen or twenty well directed strokes, the la
dies his negroes, one after another came
up and gave him a like naraber, to remind
him that they were no longer his, but safely
housed in Abraham's bosom and nnderthe
protection of the Star Spangled Banner,and
guarded by their own patriotic but down
trodden race." Such is the writer's own
version of this disgraceful affair. Washing
ton in his Farewell Address admonished us
to frown indignantly npon the first dawning
of every attempt to alienate any portion of
our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the
sacred ties which now link together its va
rious parts. Can such things go on and the
Union be restored- ?
The West Speaks.
It is evident the people of the West are
in earnest. Old political snblerfuges and
dodges to catch men of all opinioos can no
longer serve the purposes of tricksters.
the people have resolved on plain talk and
honest dealing. Oar platform and candi
dates must be for War or for Peace. There
is no middle ground. There can be no half
way-honse.
The Iowa call is in the right spirit, and
breathes the true principles of genuine De
mocracy. The contest at the polls must be
whether we shall have a continuation of
this "Disunion War or a Uoion Peace."
This isae should be made np and printed
by the Chicago convention to the people of
this country for determination at the next
election.
New York will respond to the Wrst in
this movement Our Democracy are equal
ly resolved and determined, and we think
that the Regency are at least beginning "to
see it" M3etter late than never.'
Burglars About Our town seems to be
infested at present with a gang of burglars,
judging from the amonnt of housebreaking
this week. On Sunday night last the Res
taursnt of Mr. Jonathan Rishel was broken
into in the rear and numerous articles sto
len therefrom, among which were a valua
ble gnn and pistol. On Monday night a
burglarious entrance was effected into the
Rough and Ready store, in the rear, and
several watches stolen of the value of $25
each. Besides these two bold robberies we
have heard of other houses being entered
during Monday and Tuesday nights of . this
week, -and flour, bacon, &c, purloined
therefrom. Times like these generate the
most desperate characters, consequently
bouskeepers should be carefnl and bar, boll
and lock their doors securely previous to
retiring at night. Danville Int.

should one and all, be advanced to three
dollars a year. With paper at 22 cents per
pound and upwards, instead of from 8 to 8
cents as it lately was, and all printing mate
rials and wages 50 per cent, dearer, it is im
possible for a newspaper to exist at less
rates unless the publisher is able and wil
ling to stand a loss of from two to five thou
sand dollars a year. And we suppose there
are not many such.

LATE WAR NEWS.
General Grant has mined and blown up a
Confederate fort near Port Walthall. The
situation in front of Petersburg is so chang
ed, however, that the town is no longer se
riously menaced. Since Friday Grant's
troops have held a position extending from
Petersburg across the James. His army is
divided by the James and Apomattox into
nearly .three equal divisions. These are
connected only by pontoon bridges, and if
there be anything in the maxims : which
point out the danger of allowing a water
course to divide a camp, Grant must be in
a perilous position. The late contests on
the north bank of the James resulted in the
cspture of five or six cannon and fifty pris
oners. The Confederate position there was
not captured, and is still. held. Grant's line
now is materially changed from what it was
some days ago. All the country on the
southern flank has been abandoned. In
stead of extending, four miles south of Pe
tersburg, it is now extremely doubtful
whether Grsnt.s southern flank extends to
Petersburg at all. The Jerusalem road which
runs southeast from the town has been
abandoned. The Confederates have occu
pied it. The Federal line has been with
drawn even froai the Norfolk Railroad.
Petersburg is Xn the south bank of the
Appomattox, and tfe miles southwest of
Port Walthall. On the orth side ot the riv
er, between Port WalthsU and Petersburg,
is a line of strong Confederate works, one
of which is Fort Clintoa. These orotect ibe
town. General Warren's corps ia on the
southern Federal flank. It is on the santh
bank ef the Appomattox and with Burnsid
guards the front between Petersburg and
Port Walthall. Warren's extreme lett does'
not extend beyond the town, if it extends
to it. On Burr.side'. right the Appomattox
runs. It divides him from Martindale and
Birney, who are at Bermuda Hundred. On
Birney's right is the James. It divides him
from Foster, who is on the north bank of
the James, tour miles northwest of Malvern
Hill. On Foster's right is Hancock. Sher
idan is on the extreme flank, being posted
four miles north of Malvern Hill. The
Federal line extends about five miles north
east of the James.
At daylight on Saturday morn'iDg General
Grant exploded his mine. It bad been dug
under a Confederate fort on the south bank
of the Appomattox, near Port Walthal, and
about four miles northeast of Petersburg.
This fort was in front of Burnside'a corps,
which is stationed near Port VValtha!. There
were four guns in the fort, and as soon as
it blew up Burnside's corps, assisted by
Martindale's from the north bank of the
Appomattox, attacked and captured the
ruins. Some prisoners were taken, but the
number is not stated. General Grant's in.
tentlons are not yet evident. Whether he
wishes, to operate on the north or south
bauk of the James, is not known. The ex
plosion of the mine waa followed b- a
heavy cannonade from both sides, which
continued lor some time.. At ten o'clock
on Saturday our intelligence closed, and
nothing is known of what followed.
On Friday two bodies of Confederate cav
alry crossed from the Shenandoah Yalley to
the north bank of the Potomac One, 6aid
to be under Moseby, crossed at Point of
Rocks. It occupied the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. No trains were captured howev
er, and the Confederates did not advance
far from the river bank. , Whether they
have retired is not known. The wires be
tween Frederick and Harper's Ferry being
still out of order, would indicate that they
have not. The ether body of Confederates
crossed the Petomac at Sbepherdslown. By
a detour they arrived at Martinsburg. Hey
entered Pennsylvania on the line between
Fulton and Franklin counties. There being
no Federal forces anywhere in the neigh
borhood, their advance was unopposed
They turned eastward after entering the
Stale, and marched to Cbambersburg. At
daylight on Saturday the town was entered.
The inhabitants bad sent most of their pri
vate property away, but there was a large
quantity of government stores in the town.
The be were set on fire and consumed. The
court house, bank, and railroad buildings,
and about two hundred and fifty private
residences were also burned.
The Confederstes did not remain long in
Chambersburg. They retreafed before night
on a road running west to McConoellsburg,
in Fulton county, about twenty miles dis
tant Gen. Averell, who had been at Ha
gerstown with some Federal cavalry j was
informed of the raid, and marched to Cham
bersburg. He reached there some time af
ter the Coniederates left, and at once push
ed on towards McConnellsbnrg. He did not
come op with their rear, and there was no
conflict From McConnellsburg the Con
federates turned southward, and are said to
have recrossed the Potomac at Hancock.
This invasion of the State has got the State
and Federal authorities into quite a anarl.
Neither seems to' know' how to protect the
border.
There is nothing definite from Atlanta.
It is reported that on Thursday last General
Sherman, after lying for a week inactive,
began a movement. The Confederates a;
tacked one of his corps, but were repulsed.
What the movement is, is unknown.
It is reported from New Orleaos that on
July 20lh General Banks was removed Irom
command. Hia successor has not yet been
named. 'He will be eirner Sickles, Granger
or Dana.
A steamer called the Clara Bell has been
fired into, burned and sunk by the Confed
erates on the Mississippi, above Red River.
A Democrat by the name of Hindly, of
Cumberland county, Pa., aued a tool of
Lincoln's, by the name of Oswald, for an
illegal arrest. The county court, awarded
the plaintiff $1,000 damages. The defend
ant appealed to the Supreme Court of the
State, which confirmed the decision of the
lower co art. So Lincoln's tool. is mnlced
n the sum of $1,000.
It is said that General Butler recently or
dered a soldier to ba whipped for going to
the rear when be ordered him front The
poor soldier was innocent, for he went the
way Ben. was looking, when he ordered
him front.
TLe military Situation.
The uews from the army of Petersburg
ib deeply exciting The array of the Po
tomac no longer labors with the pick and
spade, but has arrayed itself in the glitter
ing panoply of war, and has again renewed
the bitter and fierce conflict. On Saturday
morning at four o'clock the assault on
Petersburg commenced with a. terrible ex
plosion in the mines which was designed
to destroy the Confederate works. This
explosion, it is said, destroyed a large fort,
which, with sixteen guns, was instantane
ously blown to atoms. The fire of one
hundred and twenty pieces of artillery was
then concentrated on the city, which was 4
followed by an attempt to carry the works
by storm. The attempt was partially suc
cessful, the first line of entrenchments
being carried. The battle progressedwitb
great fury.
The great invasion of Pennsylvania has
resolved itself into a mere raid, though the
raiders did a vast amount of damage
Chambersburg was occupied by about 500
Confederate cavalry, commanded by Gen.
McCaosland. He made a written demand
for five hnndred thousand dollars, which
the citizens declined to pay ; whereupon
the city was fired in many places. More
than two (hundred and fifty houses compri
sing the greater part of the cily, were burn
ed, including all the publio buildings. The
raiders subsequently evacuated the place,
aud are reported retreating towards the Po
tomac. There is ce truth in the rumor that
General Breckenridge was marching toward
Wheeling. There is no later intelligence
of importance from Atlanta. We p Anted
k Federal account of the great battle of the
22d ultimo, in our last week's edition. The
braerj of the soldiers on that occasion
averted gret disaster, bnt it is true, as
stated, that General Hood captured thirteen
guns and a large number of prisoners.
LATER WAR NEWS.
Grant's late assault vpon the Confederate
works has turned out to be a failure. It
was announced that the mine waa com
plete on Friday last, when Grant ordered
an attack . At day -light the mine exploded
blowing up a Confederate fort. Three can
non and many soldiers are said to have
been buried in the ruins. The rebels made
a stubborn resistance, and recaptured their
outer works which had fallen into our
hands. It was a severe contest for the re
taking of their (rebel) works. Oar loss in
killed and wounded has been put down at
SIX.THOUSAND, and nothing gained. It
was a failure. The whole cause for the
matter terminating as it did is chargeable
ta the poor African Soldier. Il is said that
tbey broke and run away in droves. Many
were taken prisoner, and their commanders
nearly all killed or wounded. Grant cap
tared five battle flags, which goes to show
that the engagement was desperate.
Grant and Lincoln has had another inter
view, at Fortress Monroe.
The rebel cavalry, expedition sent into
Pennsylvania, it Is believed have left the
State, af'er replenishing their commissary
department. At Chambersburg they burn
ed three hundred houses ; the loss estima
ted at two millions. The rebels made a
demand on the citizens of Chambersburg
for five hundred thousand dollars in paper or
one hundred thousand dollars in gold, which
was not complied with, hence the destruc
tion of property. Col. McClore's property
was destroyed, including a lage barn well
filled with the n'ewlj gathered crops. The
force which entered and burned Cbambers-
burz is known to have numbered not more
than two hundred and eighty men. The
citizens of Hsrrisburg called a meeting to
devise ways and means, for the relief of the
destitute cilizena of Chambersburg. Gov.
Curtin has notified the Legislature to meet
on the 9tb day of August, at their Capitol
in Harrisburg, thee and there 10 deliberate
upon and adopt sach roeasares as may in
their wisdom be deemed proper by the
exigency of the times.
The complaint in this county about news
papers not reaching their place of destina
tion is numerous. We hear nearly every
day from some quarter or other, that such
and such paper ''does not come," "why is
it," "can't yon tell us," and all such inqui
ries. We are of the opinion the fault lies
with the Abolition Pobt Masters. They have
a perfect hatred for all Democratic newspa
pers. The best way to remedy this evil is
to elect a Democratic President, and have
them all turned out This e will dojnext
November. The people will not re-elect
Lincoln.

TO ALL i
IROy IN THE BLOOD.
It is well known to the medical profes
sion that Iron is the vital Principle or Life
Element of the blood. This is derived
chiefly from the food we eat ; but if the
focd is not properly digested, or if, from
any cause whatever, the necessary quan
tity of iron is not taken into the circulation
or becomes reduced, the whole system suf
fers. The bad blood will irritate the heart,
will clog up the lungs, will stupefy the
brain, will obstruct the liver.and will send
its disease producing elements to all parts
of the system, and every one w:.ll suffer in
whatever organ may be predisposed to dis
ease. The great value of
IRON AS A MEDICINE
Is well known and'ackno'xledged by all
medical men. The difficulty has been to
obtain such a preparation of it as will en
ter the circulation and assimilate at once
with the blood. This point, saya Dr. Hayes,
Massachusetts StateoChemist, has been at
tained in the Peruvian Syrup, by combina
tion in a way before unknown.
THE PERUVIAN SYRUP
Is a protected solution of the Protoxide
of Iron. A new discovery in medicine that
strikes at the Root ol Disease by supply
ing ihe blood with itsYital Principle or
Life Element I roc.
THE PERUVIAN SYRUP
Cores Dispepsia, Liver Complaint, Dropsy,
Fever and Ague, Loss of energy. Low
Spirits.
THE PERUVIAN SYRUP
infuses strength, vigor, and new life into
the system, and builds up an "Iron Consti
tution." THE PERUVIAN SYRUP
Cares Nervous Affections, Female Com
plaints, and all diseases of the Kidneys
and Bladder.
THE PERUVIAN SYRUP
Is a Specific for all diseases originating in
a bad state ol the blood, or accompanied
by Debility or a low state of the system.
