LOYALTY TO THE GOVERN
MENT.
It must be gratifying to every true patriot
to observe how responsive the impulses of
the masses are to the calls of their Govern
ment; the greater the need for assistance
to put down treason, the more determined
and enthusiastic the people become. How
different is the conduct of the real patriot,
as manifested upon trying occasions, to
that of your mousing bummer. who labors
simply to identify himself with the cause
of the country, in the hope that he may
shine by borrowed light? The one is seen.
and known, and felt hr its earnestness, its
simplicity and singleness of purpose; while
the other betrays itself by its hollowness„
pretension, and volubility. But when a I
crisis arises, these pretenders' utterances
are drowned in the loud, earnest, and en
thusiastic shouts of the people. It It: so
now; from every direction we hear of war
meetings being assembled. and what is
particularly gratifying is the unanimity of
sentiment exhibited by totally different and
remote localities. In New -York. New
England, Pennsylvania, and various local
ities of the great and expanded West, the
cry of the various multitUdes for the resto
ration of the Union and the preservation
of the Constitution is borne on every
breeee. Read the resolves of the various
gatherings alluded to, and they are all the
same in spirit.
The first two resolutiou4 of the late Dem
ocratic Fourth of July Convention at Efar
risburg, seem to have touched the very
quick of popular enthusiasm throughout
the country, and since their enunciation,
the masses, in various States and counties,
have echoed back a hearty encore. These
two brief resolutions are as follows:
"Ist. /?esotved, That the only object of
the Democratic party is the restoration of
the Union as it was, the preaerrat ;NI or
the Constitution Ca it is.
‘ 4 2d. Resolved, That to the end that the
Union be restored, and the Constitution
andlaws enforced throughout its whole ex
tent, we pledge our hearty and unqualified
support to the Federal Government in the
energeticprosecution of the existing war.' '
Here is an expression of true loyalty to
the government, accompanied by a pledge
of "hearty and unqualified support."—
This is unquestionably the leeling or the
multitude in all sections of the loyal
States, and we are pleased to see that. in
none has this sentiment been more stri
kingly manifested than here in our own
county. What the gone' nment - desires is
the restoration of the Union, and with it
the preservation of the Constitution. To
attain these magnificent results, the masses
are willing to make every sacrifice. This
great enterprise fires the heart of the pa
triot, and lends an additional incentive to
exertion in the cause of an undivided
country, which no amount of eloquence
could create. There is peculiar magic
and inspiration just now in the undying
words of Webster, which have a signifi
cance and meaning which were not prop
erly appreciated when they were delivered.
When he cried "the Constitution and
Union, now and forever, one and insep
arable," few there were who thought they
ever would become disunited. But, now
that treason has risen up to make the sep.
eration perpetual, the great New England
statesman's prayer must be realised; and
even now, in every loyal city, hamlet and
valley, the air is made vocal with the cry
of "the Constitution and the Union, now
and forever, one and mseperable." Our
bigdemonstration on Thursday will take
up this inspiring strain and shout it until
the neighboring hills echo it hack and join
in the mighty voice.

The Philadelphia Bulletin says that the
army of the Potomac has been more de

sieimees. A letter from Washington says.
that it is stated on unquestionable au

to the army of the Potomac are now loiter

ever were. It is not explained how they

THE PROOF

of the Pittsbuign Gazette as onr frequent
allusions to it. would seem to indicate.
We are credibly informed that the masses
of the Republican party detest its course
entirely, tend that its only syMputhizin?,
are the extreme Abolitionists of its own
class. It is a public journal, however.
ostensibly the organ of a greet party ; and

At. Shreveport. litre.- Yankee trading
steamers, with lull cargoes, canto up to
the town to trade. The parties on beard
exhibited counterfeit passports, and en
deavored to pass theMselves off Ira Con
federates. Both of' them brought between
twenty and thirty thousand pairs of colt e n
cards, the balance of their cargo being
composed of boots, shoes, and other much
needed articles in the South. The author
ities, however, were too quick for them,
and the military commander of the post
seized the vessels, put the parties aboard
in prison, put up the goods at auction,
turned over the proceeds the Confederate
Treasury. Two steamers of a similar
character being reported below at the
mouth of the Ouatchita river, an expedi
tion, consisting of a detachment of four
hundred men, was sent off to 'seize these
also. Our informant did not learn the
result at the time he left.
From the various plantations along the
river, below Vicksburg, the enemy have
impressed more than two thousand negroes
into service, besides all the mules, wheel
barrows, spades, .ke., they could lay hold
of. They stated their object to be the
digging of a canal, for the purpose of cut
ting off Vicksburg from the Mississippi,
and thus get command of the whole river,
enabling them to navigate without getting
under the guns of our batteries. Vicks-
, burg, it is then said, will be as if it were
four or five miles out in the country. The
' general impression was that they would
succeed in this nefarious scheme by the
aid of their fleets, our forces not being able
to reach them.
The Yankees promised to return the ne
groes es soon as they had finished their
canal. The people, however have deter
mined they shall never take Vickiburg.
The four thousand men they attempted to
laud were driven off with the loss of thir
teen killed and a largo number wounded.
Had our batteries restrained their fire a
little longer, it is believed the whole force
could have ;Alen captured.
The enemy tired hfieen-ineh shell at the
town of Vicksburg. These, where they

: I extract the followin
from your woekly is, , tte of this inst:
Driven to the. Weill.
••Tln• abolitionists arc certainly driven
to the wall ler argument against the Dem
ocratic Convention. The Telegraph says
the chairman, F. W. Hughes, has a brother
in the secession army and The Press says
a nephew. When such eminent falsifiers
disagree, it is a difficult matter to decide,
but assuming that one or the other is cor
rect, it does not follow that Mr. Hughes is
his brother's or his nephew's keeper."
Although I do not suppose that these
"eminent falsifiers" will care to know the
truth, and although all of us too well know
one of the worst features of this, like that
of other civil wars, is to rupture family
ties, yet, for the sake of truth, I furnish
you the following statement of facts, viz:
I have no brother in the -secession army,
and never had. While for one hundred
and fifty years past my ancestors were
Pennsylvanians (and among them one who
commanded a troop of horse in the Revo
lutionary war and was wounded in battle,
from the effect of which he never recovered)
yet 1 had,at the outbreak of this rebellion,
brothers in the rebel States. One of them
was accused of treuson to the Southern
Confecleraey, and upon proof of his open
and avowed Union sentiments, was sen
tenced to be hung by a Vigilance Commit
tee in Georgia, which sat in judgment
upon him. From them and the prepared
halter he made a raost narrow escape into
North Carolina. Here a second commit
tee pursued him, because of declarations
made by him there, and from them, thro'
the aid of personal friends, he managed
to make his second escape, and hurried
back via. Louisville to this; his native State.
As regards my nephews, I cannot certain
ly say whether I have or have not a
nephew in the Secession army at this time.
But it may gratify these "eminent falsifiers"
to know that at onetime I had twonephewa
in the Secession army,—hut—let me add—
I had also at the same time two nephews
in the Federal army. You rightly judge
I am not the "keeper" of my.-hrothers or
,nephews, nor do I claim any personal
merit - for the fact thatd hare two brothers
in-law in the Federal army or seek to cast
any reflection upon President Lincoln by
reason ofr-tbe fact, as . that he has
two brothers-in-law in the secession erniy.

Pilit.Ant:t.entA, July 21.—A special dis
patch to Forney's•Press, dated Memphis
July 18th, says:
The On:nada !late Memphis) Appeal of
the ins:t. reports that the rebel ram
and iron-chal go about Arkansas, under I
command of Captain S. N. Bryan, came
down irons the Yazoo river 1111 the 16th,
and rAll by that portion of our fleet which
lies above Vicksburg, Successfully, and
anchored under the batteries surrounding
that city.
The Appeal says the ram ran down sev
eral Federal war vessels, and disabled
many more. One of our vessels was
blown up. The Arkansas is a very for
midable gunboat, being plated with two
and a half inch iron, with the plates riv
eted. She has a very heavy armament,
and is furnished with two propellers, seven
feet in diameter. With four flanges each.
The loss of the rebels is set down at tei
killed and iliirteen wounded. The Fede
rid loss is not stated.

Commercial, Captain Archer, from Mem
phis. arrived yesterday, and reports that

Green river by musket-armed rebel caval
ry. It is not known whether either boat
lost any men. On arriving at M'Callis
te•r's Landing, two miles below Newberg,
Indiana, the Commercial was fired into by
guerrillas, one hall passing through the
gangway without damage.
The steamer Belle, from Memphis to
St. Louis. was fired into by a gang at Ran

HAunisnrao, July 21.—The following
,roclamation has just been issued:
Pennsylvania, SS : lu the name and by
the authority of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, Andrew G. Curtin, Gov
ernor of the said Commonwealth :
A PROCLAMATION.
To sustrin the Government in times of
common peril, by all his energies, his
means, and his life if need be, is the first
duty of every loyal citizen. The Presi
dent of the United States has made a re
quisition on Pennsylvania for twenty-one
new regiments; and the regiments al
ready in the field must be recruited.
Enlistments will be made for nine
months in the new regiments and for
twelve months in the old. The existence
of the present emergency is well under
stood. No patriot will pause now to in
vestigate its causes. We must look to the
future. Everything that is dear to us is
at stake. Under these circumstances,
appeal with confidence to the freemen of
Pennsylvania. You have to save your
homes and your firesides—your own liber
ties and those of the whole country. 1
call on the inhabitants of the counties,
cities, boroughs and townships throughout
our borders, to meet and take aetive
measures for the immediate Tarnishing
of the quota of the State.
Let those who cannotgo themselves con
tribute to provide bounties equal at least
to those offered by adjoining States. The
Constitution prohibits me from drawing
money from the treasury without authority
of law, and I will not cast a doubt on the
patriotism of our citizens by assuming the
necessity of calling the Legislature at this
time. This is no time to wait for I.egisla
tive action and the negotiation of loans.
Delay might be fatal. To put down this
rebellion is the business of every man in
Penn'a, and her citizens will show on this
occasion that they do not wait for the slow
process of legislation, and do not desire
to throw on the Treasury of the Common
wealth a burden which they are individu
ally ready to bear themselves.
The conduct of our men already in the
field has shed immortal lustre on Pennsyl
vania. Let their brethren fly to arms to
support them, and make victory speedy as
well as certain. I designate. below, the
number of companies which are expected
from the several counties in the State,
trusting the support of her honor in
6 1 4 crisis. as it may be safely trust
ed. to the loyalty, fidelity and valor of
her freemen. Whilst the quota of the,
several counties is fixed equitably so as to
fill the requisition for twenty-one regi
ments. let not the loyal people of any
county limit their exertions to the enlist
ment of the companies named. our he
roic sons of Pennsylvania have moistened
every battle-field with their blood; thou
sands have bravely died defending the
unity of the Republic and the sanctity
of our flag, and other thousands have
f alien sick, died, and wounded, and their
' places must be filled. Freemen of Penn
sylvania! friends of the Government, Of
order, and of our natiomility! one earnest
struggle and peace will again dawn upon
us as a happy. Prosperous, and united
people.
Given under my hand and the great seal of
the State. at Harrisburg, this Twenty-
First Day of July, in the year of our
Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and
Sixty-Two, and of the Commonwealth
the kighty-Seventh.
By the Governor:

sect intelligence to that effect•
Canto, July 21.—The dispatch bots
which arrived from Memphis, on Saturday,
brings the following of the reported esene
of the rebel gunboat Arkansas :
The &Fair took place on the morning of
the 15th, report having been received by
the arrival of refugees, that the Arkansas
was about to run the federal fleet, the gun
boats Carondolet and Tyler, and the ram
Lancaster started up the Yazoo to recon
noiter. About eight mile from the month
they suddenly came upon the Arkansas ly
ing under the bunk. As our boats round
, ded the bend she opened upon them with
silty-eight pounders. Our gunboats re•
turned the fire, tor a short time fierce en
gagement ensued. Finding that the chan
nel prevented the successful manoevering
they gradually dropped down towards
the mouth, the Arkansas following closely.
Just as the latter was passing over the bar,
the Carondolet closed with her, intending
to board her. She succeeded in throwing
her grapple aboard and getting out a
plank, when the Arkansas opened a steam
pipe,
throwing hot water across the plank.
The Carondolet replied in the same man
ner. While thus engaged, -both vessels.
grounded, the shock separating them. The
Arkansas succeeded in getting off, but the
Carondolet remained thst for nearly an
hour. The Arkansas immediately passed
down the river, the Tyler preceding her
and maintaining is running light with her
greatly superior adversary. None of our
gunboats with the fleet had steam up, and
the entire fleet was so scattered that few
could fire at the Arkansas without danger
of hitting tur own boats. As she ap
proached, such boats us could safely do so
opened upon her, but the plating resisted
most of the shot. Solid shot. from Farra
gut's gunboat No. t 1 struck her larboard
bow, passing through under the plating
and ripping it off a considerable distance.
What further damage was done was not
ascertained.
The injuries to our fleet were light.
The Benton received a shot near the edge
afterpart larboard side, killing one man.
The Tyler. which engaged the Arkansas
nearly an hour and a half, had seven men
killed and nine wounded, among the lat
ter Pilot Sebastian and Engineer Davis.
The ram Lancaster received n shot under
her boilers, causing the escape of hot
water, scalding six men. three of them
fatally.
The entire Federal loss was twelve killed
and fifteen wounded, live or six of whom
will die. The rebel lots is not known, but
is believed to be considerable, as hot water
•;treams from the Carondelet were thrown
directly into her at the time she attempted
to board the Carondelet.
C. WIVE, July 21.—The steamship
Asia passed here en route for Boston at
10 o'clock this morning, with Liverpool
dates to the 12th inst. The. Asia passed
the Scotia on Sunday evening bound for
Liverpool.
The series of battles before Richmond
is treated as a severe reverse for the
Unionists by the whole British press. and
General M'Clellan'a position is regarded
as precarious.
lord Palmerston stated that the British
troops would not be withdrawn from
Canada.
The recognition of Italy by Russia and
Prussia had been announced in the Italian
Parliament.
The London Times urges that the fight
ing before Richmond must have been of
the highest importance, and that General
McClellan's position cannot but be pre
earious. These battles of the three days
of June mean that the Confederate army
is strong enough to hold its position in
Virginia. for a time that may be indefi
nitely prolonged. and evidently the fed
erals will have again to begin the siege
of Richmond with a much worse chance
than at first.
The New American tariff' continues to
excite strong ho file comment. from the
Ps ess.
The Times utterly denounces the spirit
which regards the tariff with satisfaction,
because of its injurious effect upon Eng
land in particular and Europe iu general.
The London Post says that the tariff
will be looked upon in Great Britain as a
measure tantamount to a declaration of
war, and Thus the unpopularity of the
Western States will not only be terribly
aggravated, but it will impart something
more than moral effect to the cause.
The London Herald treats the affair be
fore Richmond as a decisive defeat of Gen.
M' Clellan, and says .the Confederate Ca
pital is safe. It does not believe, however,
that the campaign in Virginia is ended, but
supposes it will go on until Europe stays
the uplifted swords, and in the name of hil
-1 manity enforces peace.
The London Morning Post argues that,
practically, the Echeme against Richmond
has terminated. It then points out the
dangerous position of M.' Clellan's army.
The London Globe hopes that the gi
gantic difficulties which are being devel
oped in the progress of the war may have
an effect on both sides, and that more rea
sonable views may snpercede the plan of
military conquest.
The freedom of the city of London was
presented to Mr. Peabody, on the 10:h.
The ceremony of awarding prizes a: the
great exhibition took place on the 11th,
the Duke or Cambridge officiating as the
representative of the Queen.
A. G. CURTIN
It is estimated that 100,00 people were
present. The list of awards fills 24 columns
of small type. Among awards in general
for machinery, America gets 20 medals
for agricultural and Horticultural ma
chines; six for military articles and one
medal each for Colt's revolvers and for
naval-architecture.
The fortification bill was again debated
in the House of Commons.
WAsni.scrroN, July 21.—The number of
sick and wounded in the hospitals within
the District of Columbia and vicinity is
5,300.
Thomas U. llatzom, of Philadelphia,
an employee on the Orange and Alexan
dria-railroad, was crushed to death yester
day, between two cars.
The following is au extract from a letter
found in the postoftice at Jacksonville, N.
C., upon the occupation of that place by
the United States forces. It establishes,
beyond all doubt, the truth of the state
ments heretofore made, as to the atroci
ties committed by the rebels on the dead
bodies of our soldiers:
"CAMP PIPKENS, MAgARSAR JUNCTION,
"December 2, 1861.
"My DEAR SIR:-1 have seen more
since I have been hero than I ever ex
pected to see in my life. I went on the
battle field on the day the great battle was
fought. and 1 saw more than I ever ex
pected to see, or ever want to see again.
I saw soldiers from Georgia grabble up
Yankees that had been buried, and saw
them pull off their heads, and snatch the
meat and pare their heads, and took the
scull bones with them to send home for
their folks to see; and there was a great
many dead bodies of horses laying over
the field, which caused a terrible scent.
"Your dear brother,
'' HTISILN CATON.
"Direct your letter to Hyman Cstou,
Manassas Junction."
FORTRESS MONRoE, July 19.—1 learn
from a gentleman, recently from Suffolk,
that some little excitement prevails there,
on account of rumors that the rebels are
building bridges across the Thackwater
River, which is thought to be preparatory
to an attack on Suffolk. Our informant
thought the rumors likely to be false, but
the Sutlers were careful not to keep a
large stock on hand and were advised
not to.
The steamship Merrimack arrived here
last evening from Port Royal. No news
from that section.
The mail boat John A. Warner arrived
at quarter past three from Harrison's
Landing, and reports all quiet.
No news from the army.
The rebel army has fallen back ten miles
towards Richmond.
