IT is s. vesy singular fact that in the
French army every soldier may be pro
moted to a commission, and is regarded
as the social . equal of his deer, which
really prepares him for the *motion.

a man of honor. This is a singular fact
beeause it exists in despotic: - France;
but in the United States and England
either of whom turn up their noses at
French freedom, the soldier is practi
cally treated - as the social inferior of the
officer. ' It ie for this reason that it is
so difficult to fill the regular regiments
while the vo' anteer organizations are
!fill to overflowing. Yet, service under
'regular officers has some advantages,
which commend it_to intelligent men,
and would fender the army proper
very popular during war, if it were not
for these enormous social distinctions
It is to be hoped that some plan will be
devised to avoid this evil. The inter
course between a soldier and his officer
should be that of a younger and elder
brother, or of a parent and child.—
With the introduction of such an inter
course, the ranks of the regular army
would soon be filled by some of the
most intelligent and respectable young
men in the country. Why cannot Re be
as democratic in our military manage
ment as the Emperor of the French,
who recognizes the soldier's claims to
be a gentleman by dano'ng in the same
set with him, and giving the fairest
la('ies of his court to him as partners?

SECESSION AND LOYALTY
The contrast between the loyal and
seceded States of this Union is in itself
the most eloquent argument that could
be made in favor of the cause of our
common country. [n the loyal States
there is an almost solid feeling in favor
of maintaining the government. Party
ties have grown so faint in the broad
daylight of a cheering and enthusiastic
public opinion, that a single platform,
with a declaration in favor of the most
vigorous and persistent prosecution of
the war accommodates, with inconsid
erable exceptions, the great mess of our
countrymen. Wherever party has been
able to organize, it has only been as a
preparation for an overwhelmingdefeat.
The rich men and the men in moderate
circumstances, not content with offering
their sons, and in many instances them
selves as volunteersin the armies of the
republic, come forward and invest their
moans in the national finances. The
ladies vie with their husbands and broth
ers, and fathers, in serving the good
cause. The newspaper press has aban
doned the publication of every item of
information calculated to embarrass the
administration. The bar, the pulpit and
the bench give frequent exhibitions of
their earnest support of the federal arm.
In the seceded States a dark and gloomy
despcndency prevails. Everything pre
sages disgrace and defeat,' A discord
ant people, a bankrupt treasury, the
prospect of s tarvation, if not of servile
insurrection in the near future, and,
worse than all, the consciousness of
crime which appalls the stoutest heart
—these art.) the features that serve to
complete n contrast more significant
than any ever presented in the history
of eiviliaation.
BevieW of a Pennsylvania Brigade.
The most impressive exhibition of
milithry power made in any of the
cameos about Washington was furnished
on Tuesday by the Pennsylvanians in
a-en. MoCall's Brigade, reviewed by
'Ole President, Secretary Cameron, Gov.
Curtin, and Commander McClellan. A
correspondent of the Tribune says: "The
morale of the men, perfection of their
drill, and enthusiastic reception of the

political leader, known throughout the
army by his crushed white hat, extem
porized an excitement that will not soon
die out. Flags were presented to each

THE COMING UNION CON/MN.
Ever since the action of the late Repub
lican partizan Convention, the feeling in
favor of an independent Union movement
has grown with unparalleled rapidity. The
only business now to be attended tq in this
connection is for the Union Conveition to
select a ticket which will represent the
enthusiasm. Every one speaks .of the
necessity of having a good ticket, but, as
yet, I have seen no names offered forahe
consideration of the people. The name of
Josaue. RHODES has been suggested for the
Hheraffalty, and a most admiratla selection
he would be for that position, but even his
friends have done nothing to bring his
name prominently before the people. If
the coming Convention will nominate a
ticket composed of such names as Mr.
Rhodes' there will be no doubt of the re
sult. He is precisely the sort of man for
the occasion. No politician,•but a capital
business man, he has nut neglected business
in the pursuit of office. Clever, energetic
and amiable, he would make a safe and
pleasant officer, and no political brawls
or disputions would be tolerated in his of ,
lice.
Besides Joshua Rhodes may, in the pres
eat condition of affairs, be called a "rer re
ientative man"—the representative of the
great idea which now animates our people.
I mean the successful prosecution of the
war agai - nst Southern rebellion. Since
the first call for volunteers was made by
the President, until the departure of the
last regiment from our county, Joshua
Rhodes was always first to contribute the
largest sum required to fit and equip thorn
for the field. He is, therefore, one of a
class of citizens who should be selected to
form the Union Ticket. We have plenty
of such men amongst us, and they should
be loosed after and nominated, for such
men will not seek nominations themselves.
This is an excellent time for the inaugu•
ration of a new and better order of polit=
teal proceedings in our county. lat us
get rid of a set of vultures who have been
hanging so long about our Court Homo,
until they have gorged upon tho life blood
of our people. Were economy and bon•
esty observed in the management of the
affairs of our county, our share of taxa
tion, necessary to carry on the war, would
not be felt. We lose more by corrupt of.
ficials than our war taxes would amount
to. Let us then nominate

Fremont. Buell was born in Obio,but
was appointed, from Indiana, a cadet
in West Point in 1837. lie graduated
in July, 1811, and was assigned to the
Third Infantry as a Second Lieutenant,
whore he served live years, and was
promoted to a First Lieutenant, in June,
1846.
He served through the Mexican War,
and was breveted Captain, "fur gallant

rank in line more than ten years since.
From the South-west
We havo information which we rely up.
on, from Springfield, as late as Thursday
last, to the effect that McCulloch was then
reported to be at Fort Smith, and that hie
troops were at Mount Vernon, Lawrence
county, on Friday, the 30th ult., intending
next day to lake up their line of march to
their old quarters, Fort Walker, Arkansas.
Nothing certain was known of McCullocb's
future movements and intentions, but it
was supposed that he and his troops would
remain near the line, ready to act in con.
cart with his Missouri allies as occasion
may require.
Something over two weeks ago, Rains
moved with his command upon an expedi
tion against Fort Scott in Kansas, where
Lane and Montgomery had posted them
selves. When within about thirty miles
of that place, ho sent back for reinforce_
manta. Thereupon, Gen. Price went with
his whole command, including a portion of
itc.t3ride's men. The united forces were,
it is supposed, 6,000 or 7.000 men. Lane
was represented to have 4,000. When last
heard from, Price was about fifteen miles
distant from Fort Scott, and it was conk
dently expected itat a battle would take
place on Tuesday of last week. If this be
reliable, as we suppose it is, there has been
no battle between Rains and Lane,, as hero
tofore reported. We give the number of
Price's army, as understood at Springfield,
but no doubt recruits had gone to join
him in large numbers, and it is quite
probable that his forces had been nearly
doubled.
Gov. Jackson was in Springfield ,on Sup.
day, the Ist, with one hundred and fifty
men, who were acting as a sort of body
guard. They had come with him from
Memphis. Among his attendants" was Mr.
Charles Sims, who formerly resided in ()ass
county, Mo , and was a leader of the Item
ton party in the House of Representatives
in 1551. Several years since ho removed
to Tennessee. Sims addressed the people
of Springfield at some length. Jackson
haft to join the State forces on Sunday
night.
Oa Thursday last there was at Spring
field a regiment under Colonel Taylor,
which was stated to be a part of Mc-
Bride's command. This was all the force
left there.
It is probable that we shall goon hear of
an engagement at Fort Scott.—St. Louis
P publican.
THE report of a battle between Mont
gomery and Rains, near Springfield,
Mo., appears to be unfounded: Ben.
McCulloch is en route for Fort Walker,
in Arkansas, intending probably to act
in conjunction with the Missouri Reb
els. General Price has gone to rein
force Rains, and their joint numbers
were supposed to . reach 7,0,00. Price
was, at the latest accounts, within fif
teen miles of Fort Kansas, and it was
oven expected a battle would take place
`on Tuesday of last week.

GEN. MCCALL AND MEN OF PENN
SYLVANIA—Were it not for the sur
roundings, one might be struck by the
novelly of this scene. Large assem
blages of the people of Pennsylvania
on any occasion which calls them to
gether for the deliberation of subjects
touching the general welfare and the
public good, are-always attended with
charms which fascinate, but when I
look over thousands of Pennsylvanians,
away from the soil of their State in
arms there is inspiration in the occasion.
I come here to-day on a duty enjoined
by the Legislature of Pennsylvania.—
'The remnant of the descendants of the
heroes and sages of the Revolution in
Pennsylvania, known as the Cincinnatus
Society, placed in my charge a sum of
money to arni and equip the volunteers
of Pennsylvania who might go into the
public service in the exigency of our
country. I referred the subject to the
Legislature. They instructed me to
make these flags, and pay for them with
the money of the Cineinnatus Society.
I have complied with their instructions
and have had placed in the centre of the
azure field the coat of arms of your na
tive and glorious State. Around it is
the galaxy of stars. I have given them
to you this day, and 1 know that you
will bear them with honor wherever
you go, and that the credit of the State
will never suffer at your hands. Our
peaceful pursuits in Pennsylvania have
'been disturbed, our people have been
driven from those arts of industry which
lead to developement and progress, and
have been forced to bear arms. We
have answered every oall of the national
government. You are here now in an
swer to such a call. Thousands of your
fellow citizens at home are entering the
camps you have just left. And our
material wealth, the blood of every man
in Pennsylvania, stands pledged to vin
dicate the right, to sustain tie govern
ment, and to restore ascendency of law
and order. You are here for that pur
pose. No object of conquest or ven
geance, no desire to belenriched by the
shedding of blood, brings you here.—
God forbid! Our peopl in PeLnsylva
ilia are for peace; but while they are
for peace, when violent hands aro sought
to be laid upon the sacred fabric of the
government and efforts made to tear
their blessed constitution to pieces,
Pennsylvania is for war! (Applause.)
War to death! (Renewed applause.)
How is it, my friends, that we of Penn
sylvania are so suddenly interrupted in
our progress and developement? How
is it that our workshops are idle, the
arm of our industry paralyzed, that the
pursuits of agriculture do not bring
back their merited reward? It is be
cause folly and fanaticism, rebellion,
murder, piracy and treason pervade a
portion of this land; and we are here to
day to vindicate the right to sustain the
government, to defend the constitution
and to shed the blood of Pennsylvania if
need be, to produce this result. (Loud
applause ) It will do no harm to re
peat, in the presence of so many Penn
sylvanians in arms, that in our State
the true principles of human liberty
were fist promulgated to the world—
that in Pennsylvania the Convention
sat which formed the constitution—that
Pennsylvania, loyal in the days of the
Revolution, obedient to the government
when called upon, steeds now solid and
defiant, to oppose those in guilty treason
and rebellion who would tear that sacred
instrument into fragments and dissolve
this Union of States. (Applause) My
friends, one might regret to see so many
men of Pennsylvania here in arms to
day; yet there is pleasure in the reflec
tion that so many have been willing t o
volunteer their services in defence of
the great principles of human liberty.
Let wrong prevail, let treason and re
bellion succeed and we have no govern
ment. Progress is checked, civiliza
tion stands still, and the spread of Chris
tianity in the world must ceaie, and
cease forever, Liberty, civilization and
Christianity, hang upon the result of this
great contest. Uod is with the truth
and the right. Stand by the colors
with which we have this day presented
you, and the right will Felten. (Ap
plause) I convey to you to-day, as the
representatives of the people of Penn,
sylvania, these beautiful colors. I place
in your hands the honor of your State.
Thousands of your fellow citizens at
home look to you to vindicate the honor
of your great State. If you fail, hearts
and homes will be made desolate; but
if you succeed, thousands of Pennsylva
nians will rejoice over your success, and
when you retnrn you will be hailed
as those who were willing to go forth
from Pennsylvania to battle for the
right, and return to the Stattsunoe more
to your peaceful pursuits. ..ThOusands
of people in Pennsylvania follow you
with their blessings. They look to you
my fellow citizens, to vindicate this
great government, to sustain legitimate
power and to crush out rebellion. (Ap
piause.) Thousands in Pennsylvania
this day, in view of this august cere—
mony, and the honor of the State thus
committed into your hands, I know, in
trust to me their blessing upon you.—
May the God of Battles in His pros+.
deuce protect your lives, and see that
truth prevails.
TER Maryland secessionists are evi
dently bent upon doing mischief. The
State Legislature is to re-assemble on
Tuesday next, and it is understood that
the majority of the members intend to
take measures to prevent the invasion
of the qtate by the rebel army, and then
to pass an ordinance of secession.
PENNSYLVANIA'S RESERVE FORCE,
—The Harrisburg Reporter has the
following comments on the ability of
this State to furnish additional regi
ments for the army without drafting :
When the harvest is gathered and
garnered, there will be in the State of
Pennsylvania at:least fifty:thousand men,
all of whom will be out of regular em
ployment. Hundreds of men who
heretofore found employfment in the
pineries of the State, as wood-choppers;
colliers and lumbermen, will be com
pelled to seek other engagements, from
the fact that these operations will be
suspended during thezning season,
or at least so restricted be carrio t
on with much less the force of labor
required during the former seasons.
The men thus thrown out of employ
meat are used to exposure, hardships
and long hours of labor. They have
been inured to the inelemencies of
seasons and the roughest climates.
Out of this material the very best sol
diers in the world can be disciplined,
and to this force Pennsylvania will
appeal in case another requisition
should be made on her for additional
troops to swell the Fe feral army. The
idle farm help will also constitute an
other element of gold strength, not
yet fairly brought into service in, this
struggle, for the simple reason that
when our difficulties first made it nec
essary to organize armies, this portion
of our population were engaged in work
that could not be neglected for the
same reason that on the success of the
the agricultural interests depended very
much the complete organization, discip
line: sustenance and support of the
Federal troops. According to these
facts, Pennsylvania can very easily fur
nish at least five regiments of a thous
and men each, any time during the win•
ter. She can do this any time after the
first of November, and in the mean•
time it would be a most judicious plan
on the part of those who may
thus expect to be called on, to organ
ize companies at once, and enter on
a system of drilling in anticipa
tion of the discipline to which they
will be subjected in the army. If
by such a system they improve and
perfect themselves in the manual, with
out being called on to take up arms,
they will have achieved a benefit for
themselves amply sufficient to repay
them for the time and labor devoted
to its accomplishment.
FRANCIS SELLERS
H
' REcautmo in Canada for the army
of the United States appears to meet
with no favor with our provincial neigh
bors. A placard, advertising for vol
unteer., which was posted in Kingston
by some persons from Rochester, N. Y.
was removed by a public officer, and
carried to the police court, and instruc
tions were forthwith issued to the police
to destroy any similar cards that might
appear in the streets or public saloons
of that city. The Toronto Leader in
commenting on this fact says, "It is
possible that the Federal agents may
go a little to far in this work;" and
in rebuke of the apparent slowness of
our own people to take part in the war
for the preservation of their dearests in
terests and liberties, adds: "It must
strike the dullest backwoodsman that
if the people who shout day and night
to the praise and glory of the Union
really care so little about it as to leave
its defense to others, Canadians would
be fools to lift a finger in its behalf."
The Savannah Republican says tha
"the stock of flannel having been pretty
I well exhausted in the Southern mar
kets," it will be doing the public a ser
vice by suggesting that the very excel
lent substitute may be found in . the
"common, coarse Georgia osnaburgs,"
which makes excellent undershirts—
good especially for rheumatic complaints
We suspect that the South suffers more
from a weakness in the chest than from
rheumatism. The blockade, which has
been doing them '•no harm," seems to
have cut off their.supplyof flannel at all
events. Possibly they !may find them
selves short of some other article of
necessity and comfort ere long.
A GREAT effort has been made on the
part of the rebels in Missouri to get
hold of the city of Jefferson, the capi
tal of the State, in order to secure the
meeting of the secession Legislature,
which adjoined on the 4th of May4ast
to meet again in that city on Malty
next, the 16th inst. As the attempt
has thus far proved fruitless, and there
being no immediate danger of its suc
cess, we expect in a few' days to hear
that ex-Governor Jackson has called on
the members to assemble at Little Rock
Arkansas, or iu some part of the 4d'an
Reservation.
CONSIDERABLE anxiety is felt for RCM
from Western Virginia, as a battle be
tween Gene. Rosecranz and Lee has
been expected for some time, On Sat
urday night Rosecranz with his entire
command, numbering, as it is supposed,
about 17,000, wont from Sutton 'to
Camp Smith, which is situated on Gan
ley River,, near Somerville. On Sun
day he was to move on the enemy, Lee's
force being about 20,000. A battle
was expected on Monday, beyond a
doubt, bat up to this time no news of
an engagement has been received.
THE "sacred soil" of Kentucky has
been again wantonly invaded by the
raising of a full company in Louisville
called the Ellsworth ZOIIIMS. The
company is composed entirely of native
born Kentnekians. They have , Offered
themselves to the government, been as.
opted, and are now at Camp Holt.

THE. HATCHET' .11tiare. u .- The,,fend
that has existed for some time past be

GEN. BUTLER having been mentioned
as a candidate for Governor of Massa—

party nomination and declaring that he
will give the present National Adminis

rebellion.
TnE Government has.rccsived already
fifteen millions of dollars of the new loan•
of which live millions are from private
subscriptions. Secretary Chase has requi
sitions on him to the amount of about one
million of dollars a day. There will be
no lack of the success of the war on our
side.
THE news from Missouri indicates a
