Disloyalty in Alt; Pleasant.
.Tho ,Westmoreland-Jfctc* gives the follow
ing account of a fracas cansod by the outra
geous conduct of arebeTsympathizer residing
in Mount. Pleasant: u
“Mr. John W.Carpenter has for a length
of time been'supposed to be sympathising
with the rebels, and by his language had ren
dered himself obnoxious to the people of M.L
Pleasant and vicinity. On Tuesday of lest
week he received a ■ letter,--requiring him to
hang out the Bag, or he.would be called bn to
take the oath 'of' allegiance.' On receiving
this they made a smalt flag, and attaching it
tohUso'Robsrt's shirt tail, and putting this
bn over his clothes, the young man walked
through town to the post otfico and back,
armed with olub and pistol, using at the samo
time the most insulting language. The father
had preceded the young man part of the way,
.and returned with him home. This outrage
soon gathered a crowd, and they marched to
Carpenter's' bousS, and had him go before
Justice Fleming, and take the oath of allegi
ance. When this was done the crowd dis
persed, as the young man had made good his
escape. - Mr. Carpsnter, Sr., came to Greens*
burg a'nd made information against a number
of the most prominentcltiiens of that place,
and legal process has been issued, whoa all
the facts £n_thfl case will be determined by a
judicial tribunal.
- “No punishment would have been too severe
for the perpetrator of . this outrage, and we
only wonder how ha escaped the roughest
usage at the baoias of the justly indignant
eitiaebs. A. court of justice may decide that
this assemblage wasa “mob,” bat the daring
insult qffered,.the.bharahter of thepeople «n
-g aged,-and-the order and decorum which
their proceedings will doubtless palli
ate the offence In the eyes of the law, and*
justify their-condnet before tbe world.”

They bare been subsisted sinctrFriday last,

mittoee to-day notified CapL. Smith, com
mandant of theeamp, that it was utterly im
possible for them to continue to subsist them,
as it took nearly.all the time of the -Commit
tee, and there was no probability of the camp
being ready until the middle of next week.
The men offered to provide quarters for them
selves, pat up tbeir own barracks, etc., if
Quartermaster Montgomery would only order
them into camp, provide the lumber, etc., but
bo replied that he had no authority to do so,'

then-agreed to subsist.them until Saturday, if

no such assurances would be given.

The Great Scnlling Match for the
Cbaznpionship-oHamill Victorious!
The preliminary race in the great iqnlllng
match between Joshua Ward, of New York,
and James Hamill, of this city, for the cham
pionship of America, came off on the Bchuyl
kiU river, at Philadelphia, on ; Wednesday af
ternoon. There were two races arranged for
—the first to take place on Wednesday, dis
tance three milesj and the second on Thurs
day, distance fivo 1 miles. The result of Wed
nesday’s contest is announced by special dis
patch as follows:
James Hamill won the three mile race, beat
ing Ward, the “champion of America,” easily.
Time— twenty-tiso minutes and (tecnfy-twO sec
onds. There is great excitement here in con
sequence of this result.
Bernard Kennedy.
Great os the oxeltement must have been in
Philadelphia, it was scarcely less here among
onr boating men, andindeed among all classes
of citizens, as the desire was everywhere ox-,
pressed that victory shonld crown our young
though modest and unassuming ‘champion.
At first it was scarcely believed possible that*
a western oarsman, whose exploits had been
confined almost solely to tbe obscure waters
of tho Ohio, should be able to copo successful
ly with the long vaunted champion of the
great metropolis, but “ muscle will .tell,” and
Ward finds in Hamill an opponent worthy of
his mettle. ‘
The three mile race has been decided in fa
vor of the “ western champion,” and if Ward
wishes to retain.his laurels ns “champion of
America,” he will have to pull-to-day as ho
has never palled before. W« believe that
Hamill will “ stay with him ” in the fivo mile
race, if he does not actually “leave him in
his wake.” His endurance is equal, if not
superior to Ward's; and nowVsinoo ho has led
him.handsomely in tbe short pull, his friends
confidently expect that ho will have a com
plete and easy victory to-day. 1 •• -
We learn that a large sum of money will'
chango hands here on the result.! Hamill's
friends were confident, and their offers Were
very freely accepted by the “ sharps,’' who
expected to mas* a handsome thing of. it.
Betting to-day wilt of coarse change'in favor
of.Hamill, but the “ sharps,” under the im
pression that Ward is only playing for a
“bigger, thing,” will doubtless take most of
the beta offered. Of course, we advise no one
to risk a dollar on the issue.
ASSEMBLY.
Philadelphia, Aug. 13.—Hamill came in
sixty yards ahead, sculling three miles in
2:30.
In Memoriam.
Dtac-On/Saturday evening,. tbt Oth tnsuut,
HARRIET HOPKINS, wi So ofWm. 8. Lavely.
Dead! no, “ she is not dead, but sleepeth.”
And, “after life's fitful fever, she sleeps
well.” Yes, she is gone 1
, 7 “ Surely.the good die first,
And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust,
Bare to the socket.” .
Sweet sister, thou art indeed gone—gono to
clasp to thy yearning, longing heart
who had “gone before” ton weary months—
ni)ble, loVing Keemle, and gentle, confiding
Willie. Bravely didst thou bear up under
the desolating, overwhelming affliction, but
tbe stroke seemed to tell too heavily upon thy
delicately sensitive nervous organism, and
thy Father in meroy said, “come up hith
er,” and obeying cheerfully tho.summon*,
every nerve was re-touched by tbe Master’s
band, toThrill with a rapture unknown upon
life's wild moorlands.
Bat how can we give thse up? ’Who will
smile upon thy husband's daily' return so
sweetly as thou waat wont to do,? Upon
whose bosom .will he lay his weary head?
And who willbeamother'tosweetiiltlg Anno,
who Is left behind? Who will cboor the!
stricken brother and sister? Those questions
are sad ones, and Beem hard to answer. But:
Jesns will be to them aU and in all.
Turn I again to thee, my more than sis
ter, to think of what thou waat and whatllmu
-art. In thy lifo thon weft gentle andlovely ;
in thy death thou art triumphant and glori
ous. In thy life thou wort faithful an£ hope
ful ; In thy death thou art'satisfied and confi
dent. In thy life, now all was ydoshino, and
anon all was darkness ; In thy death, the sun
shine and tho darkness were both dissipated,
and thou didst awake in the soft and gentle
light of beaven~the light which gontly beams
from the “Lord God and the Lamb.” In thy
life thon didst love dearly those whom thou
has left behind; in thy death thou didst find
thore who had “gono bofore,” and dost beck
on for tbo sorrowing ones, to follow. In thy
life, love was thy guiding star; in thy death
love is tho sweot-voicod bride that sings in
thy sonl the “song of Moses and the Lamb.”
Yes, thou art gone I but -thy influence Ha
gers still. Thy memory sheds a hallowing
calm aronnd our pathways and we tiust will
lead us so to live, that when tho vummuDs
comes, we may go to rejoin thee in tbe Sanc
tuary of the Blest..

sPECIAL NOTICES
A Good Invesfmeiit.
Wo learn that; our'volunteer* will be likely
to go into camp here for a whllo previous to'
their going into active sorVtoe, and as each of
them has received a boonty.of fifty dollars,
we wouidadrito them to invest that money to
the beat possible advantage to tbejmBb)ves.and
their families; particqljirly;. the marxmd men
who haTe-yolunloered‘.shouldboaureto give
their wives the means in band of making a
comfortable living during their absence at tho;
war. In order to obtain' this much desired
end, we would adviso,‘every married man: who
is going to war s to Ibuy .his wife a first class
sowing machine. ..-finch a-one can only he ob
tained at (he office of GroVei A Daker'a S, M.
Co., No.lB Fifth, street, in this city.’ These
tnichinea are indisputably the best in use,
either for tailoring or family parpo'ies. They
are in operation ini almost every establishment
here, and they are warranted for throe years,
in every respect. Wo would, therefore, re
commend them toevery period wishing tolbuy
an article in that line, and Wotild also advise
every volunteer; whb .has the welfare of his
family atheart, during kUabsfcnce, to.getone
of tbeeo sewing machine*, 1 as wo have no
doubt one of themwould hereafter prove itself
a blessing in many a eoldier’s homo, portion
larly if a father should hever.return to the
loved ones he left behind. ■ . _

“ In your Issuo of thji« morning, 1 notice an
editorial teferonce to ohe of my dispatches to
the Cincinnati Gazette, concerning a recent
interview of certain western men with the

which professes to conect certain false im

this declaration;
'"Tho statement contained in the spe

totally untrue. ‘The communication is with
out a eignaturer but yoa state that it is from

present at the interview. This narrows down
matters pretty .cioaely*- Let ns have them a
little closer. If the communicating Senator
will authenticate any such statement

ator who wa* preseut at the interview, and
who distinctly declared that he made the re
ply to the President’s remark about resign

Affairs in Gen. Pojfe’s Army Before
the Battle.
Extract of a Letter from an Ojffieer r • • u
Wabbeston, Vai, August 4.
Oar brigade has moved seven iniles from
here, and will probably advance withiGefi.
Pope—oar regiment is left behind in charge
of this place, and may slay hero some. time.
There is no certainty about it however] and
10-morrow might bring with it an. orderjto
rejoin the brigade. * i ;
Everything is very comfortable herej and
the ladies having become accustomed to us,
have abated their ferocity, and are quite
sociable. General Pope* orders are not ear
tied out and all the army supplies of
every description are transported from Wash
"ington at immense expense, forage .and aIL ;
Everything goes on in'themame old way.’
Recruiting, as far as 1 oan learn, is at a
stand still, and appears to me that ,we
are doing little or nothings while the ene
my is concentrating all his energies for la
•final blow.
I hope the Government will resort to
drafting immediately, and that the oath-of
allegiance will be administered to all per*
sons North who are suspected of sympa
thizing with traitors, and send them South,
where they belong.
It appears, however, that hundreds of
them are actually employed by the govern
ment I do not wish to say one word
against oar government, and 1 believe that
the President and most of his advisers are
honest but they do not seem to be sensible
of the fact that the Soutn will be satisfied,
with nothing less than our blood and oar
destruction, and they do not seem to real
ize the enormity of the crime of rebellion,;
which, as ; against our government is the
worst of all crimes, and .should be punish
ed accordingly.-
No mercy should be shown to the- lead
ers, who have bronght on this war, with all
its dreadfnl Consequences, nor to.those who
have treacherously deserted the United
States service, of to those, who, even worse
than all, still remain uader our govern
ment, and enjoy its benefits while they are
plotting its destruction.

County Residing rio: the 23d Con*/
gressional District.' /
Ftllow Ctiixtn*: Having,*ome time ftgo, .
been designated by the rotes' of _the Republi
cans of Armstrong county as their choice as a
candidate for Congress, and my name haring .
been before yon for several weeks as a candi
date for the same position atyour primary
meetings and in your convention^it is proper
that I should say a few words to yon; and I
prefer to do so through the press. '
It is not in accordance with my taste, nor
withmy sense of propriety and the.fitness of
things, for any man occupying the position I
do at present, or who looks forward ,to one
still higher, to bexunning from hoqse to honeo
soliciting inflnenoe and rotes. I shall not do
any thing of tho Ucd; but should it be yonr
Sleasnre to make mo your candid: te, I shall
jen endearer to see yop at your h uses.
lam now one of yourselves. , [ reside in 1
yonr county; X think I mrderstan 1 your in
terests, yonr sentiments,'and you: r character
as a people. For more than twenky years I
hare stood ins closer relation, to',.you than
•many of yon were aware of; for I hire held
much oonverse with yon at.youT firesides
through the political and; tho ;religious press.
To some of yon lam well known personally; ;
and mykepntation ash man, and a-s an earnest
Republican,!* pretty well established,,.- You
will pleat*pardon that muchegotism/
Three CenDtles,havihg equal weight in joint
convention, compose the district. Butler has
presented one name, Armstrong another; and
shonld Allegheny present a third, serious dif
ficulties may arise in coming to a choice, and
the result may be very far from, what you
would desire it'to be./ There is one way, and
only one way, of avoiding that difficulty, and
that uncertainty as to tho result. I shall
say nothing more on that points _!
A ’great huge wrong in morals and
« gross solecism-invpoHtics-Trwhicb war; in / :
ourjDxistenco as a nation, in , /
some degree incorporated into, our system of - / -!■
government,'fs howbeadag its:appropriate /'
fruit, And working out its inevitable Results./
It must, in its very nature rule, or ruin, or be
extirpated. It did~rule for a long tithe; it is
now-endeavoring to rain us; and this force*
upon us the,- single .alternative of destroying • J **
its,power, or of being destroyed by it.- r :We
cannot, if wpwould, be at slavery.
It has strnex a death blow, not at its individ
ual antagonists,. not at this State or-that
State, not.at.asy particular party, but at ; the
very heart .of‘the nation. .Slavery,; as’an :
established system, as an element of political
power, is now! identified with treason, add is
at-*thir moment arrrayed :in desperate and
deadly antagonism! against tho government.
No power on earth, is ablo to loosen thelr mu
tiuri death-grip. .Ohp.jor the : other-must
-perish.* :
For more‘than ayear~we have been trying
to save the government without inflicting any
serious injury upon it* only real antagonist.
A hundred thousand lives and a thoueand
millions ofdollars havebeen expended in tbo J
vain attempt; ‘ The result of all this sacrifice
of life and treasure, of sorrow and.snfibring,
has been as Idle, as fruitless, as would be tho
blows of a gladiator who should strike only at
tho shadow of his adversary, while that adver
•ary was aiming and - striking with giant
strength at his own heart. Sorely, felloV
eltltens, we have seen enough to convince, us
that treason is to slavery what the shadow is
to the substance; and that rebellion is but that
treason in activity. Treason existed and Was '
strong thirty years ago, while rebellion only
iprung into full activity when Fort Sumter
was bombarded. Both are the natural; out
growths of one baleful root. 'rC~ : S-
A J great system* of oppression has existed
in onr country from the first. It constituted
a part of onr social system before the.govern
ment was framed. Onr fathers treated it as
an evil thing, which they hoped was dying
ont, and which' would soon come to a qotet
end - under the institutions of freedom. -But
time has shown, u* lhat in this they wero -
taken; for, lostead of dying out, the system
grew in loss than forty.years to-be the con
trolling power in the nation- -This fact has
taught us how unsafe it: it* to compromise ' :v ;
principle, or to enter into .a compact-.jrith
wrong. '

at this moment in tne midst of the mightiest
political r.evolntion the, world ever .e&W'T-a
revolution which wilt leave ail freo, or none.
The fiat, altered eighteen hundred years ago,
is about to pus upon ns a people— l " With
what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to.
yon again.” Never, probably, in all Human
history, did snob foaxful responsibilities rest
upon any people as do at this moment rest,
upon the loyal people'of the United States.:,
