JUSTICE MILLER
v.( ago, a big, raw
boned, uuug fellow, ugly, awk
ward and unlearned, migrated from this
county to Iowa; and . , after being in that
young State about a year, he was elected
to the Legislature. This was considered
by Dan's friends here one of the most ex
traordinary exhibitions of popular liberal
ity ever manifested by an intelligent peo
ple. His sudden elevation to legislative
dignity spread like a hurricane throughout
Western Pennsylvania; and to that act is
to be attributed the large migration from
this section to lowa, which immediately
followed. Every young man amongst u 5,
who knew Dan, saw, in prospective, legis
lativ3 and judicial honors. lowa was re
garded as the land of promise: for, it' her
citizens would elevate Dan Miller to her
Legislature, after a few months' acquaint
ance, what was it not possible the . same I
discriininating people would do for oth
ers? And they were right, too. Many of
our young Pennsylvanians found fame and
fortune in lowa. But the recent advance
ment of Daniel F. Miller to the Supreme
Bench of the United States, is one of the
most unlooked-for events we remember of
in all our judicial and chequered experi
ence. Were it not so serious a matter,
we should be induced to attribute it to
"Old Abe's" propensity for practice'

The elevation of Mr. Lincoln to the
Presidency has put the entire West upon
stilts. Old New England, with its logic
and learning, has to stand back, or be jos
tled in its course by the rough and tumble
sons of the prairie and the pine. Wash
ington is said to have many of these double
jointed sons of the West sojourning in pleas
ant situations abou t the various departments
and the look of independence, or rather
defiance and contempt,they bestow upon a
well dressed Eastern dandy, is the sublim
ity of facile expression. Carriages and
hacks for riding from the Capitol to the
White House they despise, for their pow
_ ers of locomotion enables them to outspeed
that of the spanned quadrupeds about
Washington. They are full of energy and
good health; and they exhibit a swagger
ing independence which at once strikes
the stranger with respect for their muscle
if not their manners. These peenliarities
the cultivated Eastern gentlemen call "pro
vincialisms," and complain that they are
to be seen and felt in every department of

7 POST.
Stir The Gazette has at length defined
what it meant by "natural and political
equality," and informs us that " it has no
reference whatever to the political rights
of the Negro." If this be,ltie,casOifiat
:has all its summer's twaddle abOtit the
poor Negro been about? There was no
occasion for the editor to waste so much
valuable time and extraordinary talent in
forming creation that he was and is in fa
vor of the "natural and political equality"
of his own race. While manifesting so
much sympathy for the African, it would
be strange indeed if the Gazette was no t
for the .-quality of the Caucasian.
After denying the proposition in clues
tion, our neighbor grows ferocious and in
timates that it would rather trust a black
man than a certain editor who has the au
dacity to differ from it and its abolition
friends in the late Congress. To this wt.

the whole set of strife-brewers, both con
servative and radical. We make no differ
ence between them. Their spirit is the
same, their bane is the saute. Equally and
alike they are a pest and an abomination.
Is it said that the strife is not merely
wanton ? ' that there are great principles in
the case ? Granted. Brit can that excuse
their systematic and infernal distillation of
hate? Is that a reason why Union lien of
different modes of thinking should be stim
ulated to treat each other as false-hearted
and no better than traitors? There is but
one vital principle: and that is, that the
government must and shall be preserved.
All other objects are as nothing in compar
ison. The man, we care not whether be
calls himself conservative or radical,
whether his name he Wickliffe or Sumner,
who is honestly in favor of maintaining
the government and putting down the re
bellion. deserves respect for his patriotism,
and all attempts to place him under the
ban, and class him with traitors, is an out
rage. The great question is, not what the
man thinks about this or that means, but
—upon what side is lid Because he be
lieves in a policy that shall save slavery as
much as possible, or because he believes
in a policy that shall harm slavery as much
as possible, is no reason why he should be
stigmatized as false and traitorous. These
are questions upon which men may legiti
mately and patriotically differ. They are
questions which it may be both proper and
useful to discuss, if the discussion be in
the right spirit. But the man who makes
them the occasion of wholesale denuncia
tion of the loyal brothers who differ with
him is playing but a sorry part. Whether
he thinks of it or not, he is lending him
self to the enemy. He is contributing
what he can to bring about that very dint

one of the original incentives to secession,
and which, even now, if it could he real

.a certainty. A vigorous prosecution of
the war is not possible without a united,
compacted, firm-set public sentiment.
Distrust and discord are pre-eminently cal

therefore, traitorous work to alienate loyal

conservative and radical are now used the
better: They can now serve no practical
purpose. The policy of the government
has at last taken definite shape. Congress
has resolved upon a course of,.netion to be
pursued toward slavery. The President
has given it his full sanction, and means
to carry it Out consistently and firmly. It
is not at all probable that any further agi

will divert that policy one hair's breadth,
either in one direction or the other. Noth

of all loyal men is to acquiesce in the de

and hand in helping the government to
push forward the war with the utmost vigor
and eflici _mcy. It is now the time not for

History is full of the unforeseen

circumstances govern in spite of our

deal with slavery now just as they
would have done a year ago. The
course of events has brought about a
change in the bearings of the institution,
which everbody acknowledges! It is idle
at this time to attempt to settle the future
of slavery. That future is subject to events
utterly beyond our present range of vision.

The Rig Scare at Gordonsville,
Caused by Pope's Advance.
Front the Iti , htuond lii,eat.M, 17th.
The Lynchburg Republi.-an of yesterday
gives some particulars of the Yankee raid
in Orange. It. says: "A Yankee force,
stated to number eleven regiments of in
fantry and one of cavalry, with ten pieces
of artillery, is reported to have taken pos
sessbm of t /range Court Ilouse on Sunday,
though we have doubts aJmut its correct
imss, as a person who left that place at 7
o'clock in the evening of that day says
there was no enemy then in sight. They
burned the bridge across the Rapidan
river, five miles from the Court Rouse,
which would appear to be conclusive that
they do not design a further advance.
There were idle reports yesterday that
they had taken possession of llordonsville,
but up to :I o'clock last night telegraphic
communication was open with that place.
There was a big scare and a general stam
pede front Gordonsville on Sunday, the
trains leaving there being literally loaded
down with old and young, male and fe
male, fleeing front the Yankees, who, some.
fellow, worse scared than hurt, reported
to be within a lex miles of the place. liv

citement here. but it seems to have been
tin prevalent impression among the peo
ple of Orange county that Gen. Pope's
army was coming down upon them in ter
rible array, dealing death and destruction
at every step of their progress. The tele
graph operator at Gordonsville taught the
alarm, and, with the abrupt announce
ment, " I'm off," packed up his instru
ment and departed, discontinuing, tbr the
time being, all communication between
the capital and a point whereon public in
terest so snddenly concentrated. A citi
zen who numbered himself among the
stampeders, telegraphed front the nearest
station that the enemy had actually enter
ed the town ; but, somehow or other no
body had seen the Yankees, and all infor
mation respecting their movements was
necessarily vague and uncertain. Mat
ters, however, soon assumed a more defi
nite shape, and it was ascertained that a
small force of cavalry had advanced as
titr as the Rapidan river, destroying the
Orange and Alexandria railroad bridge
over that river, and retreated to their
main army without any fbrther demonstra
tion.
Intelligence received in official quarters
on Monday night., represents that the ene
my's force was iu the neighborhood of Cul
pepper Court House to the number of
about 3,000, and that the town of Gordoni
vine still remained undisturbed byanYthing
save a causeless alarm. All circumstances
tend to show that the movements of the
enemy in that direction are invited by ap•
pre iensions for the safety of Washington;
yet it he chooses to attempt an advance
towards Richmond, from the valley of
Virginia, let him try it.

and perform the exchange by giving man

ratio as the usages of war have established
as just. The movement was initiated by

The Charleston papers state that this
most indispensable article is being manu
factured in considerable quantities around
that city, some twelve boiling establish
ments being in operation in and near
Cnarleston. The yield is, or soon will be,
about thirty. thousand bushels per annum,
which can be increased to almost. any
amount. The great source of expense is
the fuel, but experience will no doubt soon
suggest many improvements iu the mode
of boiling.

Clothing Made In Columbus.
The Columbus (Ga.) Sun says that some
idea of the amount of clothing manufac
tured for the Confederate army in that city
may be derived from the fact that about
240 boxes, averaging three feet square and
estimated to make twelve or fourteen car
loads, have been packed there within a few
days past, for a portion of Gen. Bragg's
army. All this clothing was made up in
Columbus and its vicinity, and a very large
portion of the material was manufactured
there.
Corn.
The Savannah Republican says:
"We saw a private letter yesterday which
states that the planters of Florida are con
tracting to deliver corn, of the growing
crop, on the Florida Railroad, at 35 cents
Der bushel. The crop is immense, and far
enough advanced to be considered sale.—
Our letters from all parts of Georgia and
Alabama, indeed from the entire Confed

flourishing condition, with the promise of
an immense yield.
JIM LANE OF KANSAS IN
PLACE OF GEN. MeCLEL
LAN.
IWe find the following in the editorial
columns of the Pittsburgh G'azette, of
Wednesday morning. We reproduce it
without a word of comment.:
"Affairs on the James river look any-
I thing but favorably. Our boats are con
stantly fired into, and the river can be
easily blockaded. When that is done, our
supplies are cut off and our army placed
in a state of siege. Gen. McClellan occu
pies one little spot on the Peninsula, holds
it by virtue of gunboats, and does not seem
to know what is going on elsewhere. The
papers speak as if he had no notion of
moving within a month. Is there not
danger of intervention before that time
elapses?
We believe there is only one man in the
country who has the military genius to
lead that army against all obstacles into
Richmond, and that man is Gen. James
H. Lane. He has every qtudity of mind
and character which belonged to' the. his-,
toned commanders; he inspires soldiers
with , bouialless .entboutiunt he always
knows the exact position and strength of
the enemy, and the enemy never knows
either his power or purposes. There are
no obstacles in his , path and to him a dif

Instead of whining for help he would dash

must have such a leider orittlire the woes
which will follow a recognitioji by foreign
powers.
Put Jim Lane in command of our al
mies and there will be no talk about draft
ing, no difficulty in getting recruits, no
depreciation of the national currency.
It will give confidence to the whole
country, and instead of months of fatal
idleness we shall have victories every day,
and a restored Union within five months
In 1856 John 'ff. Forney, now the leader
of the Republican party in Pennsylvania,
was Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, and issued an address
to the people, in which the following elo
quent passage occurred:
" The adversaries of the Democratic
party have dissolved the American Union
in advance, so far as by their own action
they can consummate that direful result.
They can no longer assemble in National
Convention ; they congregate as the repre
sentatives of a fragment of one-half of our
happy country, and they arrogate to them
selves the mastery of the other halt; by at
tempting to consolidate a fierce and fanati
cal sectional majority in every department
or the Government. They declare that
the country is on the eve of unprecedented
convulsions, and they proclaim their pur
, pose to arrest these convulsions by ignor
ing and insulting fifteen sovereign States
of the Union. They talk of peace, and in
their conventions proclaim a policy which
most end in civil war. - They appeal to
Heaven to sanctify a movement which, if
successful, would destroy the fairest fabric
of freedom on the globe. They invite our
countrymen to support their cause in the
midst of the most irreverent blasphemies
of the Constitution. They prate of ex
clusive Americanism, while they accept as
leaders men who profane the sages of the
past. with inconceivable calumnies. But
they deserve credit for their boldness.
They do not attempt to conceal the fearful
end which, should they succeed, roust
crown their efforts. True to the history
of all sectional parties, they unite men, not
by a love of country, but by a hatred of
National principles. Theirbond of action
is a sympathy of antagonisms—not a har
mony of patriotic sentiments ; and to con
summate their purposes they would sacri
fice every great material interest of society.
They have already succeeded in dividing
the Christian Church, and now they would
lay their hands upon the bulwarks of our
liberties ; they would wrest the Constitu
tion from the glorious purpose to which it
was dedicated by its founders; and they
would erect at Washington a sectional
despotism whose presiding divinities would
be hostility to the equality of the States
and the equality of the citizens, and re
lentless war upon the domestic institutions
of the South."

The commanding officer of the post. is
authorized to give furloughs to such men
of this militia force as cannot be absent
from their ordinary business without seri
ous detriment, or such as are not needed
for present service. Such leaves of ab
sence will in no case be for a longer time
than ten days, and may be revoked any
time, at the discretion of the officer grant
ing them. The militia thus organized
will he governed by the articles of war
and army regulations, and will be subject
to the orders of officers of the United
States troops, or M issouri militia, regularly
mustered into service, as may be assigned
to their command.
ST. Louts, July 23.—The Provost Mar
shal General has issued an order forbid.

dividuals, of arms or ammunition of any
character, under penalty of arrest and im
prisonment of the offender during the war.
All dealers whether agents or owners, in
this division, are required immediately to
make an inventory of all the arms and am
munition on hand, stating the quantity,
class and value, such - inventory to be filed

LOUISVILLE, July 23.—Yesterday morn
ing, trains from Nashville northward, and
from Louisville southwaid, met at Mitch
ellsville, and both returned owing to a rs
port that a thousand rebel cavalry were
near Richland, Tenn.
Governor Morton, of Indiana, sent a
thousand infantsy with cavalry and artil
lery to Hnederron, which arrived thereat
one in the morning, simultaneously with
one of our gunboats, which went up the
river with a considerable force to protect
the Union residents.
. . .
General Boyle also sent orders to Col.
Garvin commanding at Henderson, to
use rigorous measurs to clear the rebels
out of the adjoining counties, General
G. C. Smith telegraphs from Stanford that
he is still pursuing Morgan. General
Boyle replies, "Capture him, or drive him
out ofthe State." The dispatch from
Cincinnati last evening, stating that our
cavalry had overtaken Morgan's :and on
the road from Mount Sterling, etc., is
without foundation. •
HARILISIWRG, July 23.—1 n obedience to
General Order No. 79, of the War De
partment, an additional Assistant Surgeon
will at one be assigned to each Pennsylva
nia regiment now in the field. A State
Medical Board will, therefore, convene in
Philahelphia, on Monday, July 28th, at
ten a. m., in the Medical Hall of the
University of Penna., where candidates
will call and register their names. The
board will meet daily for five days
or until the requisite number is obtained.
As the number wanted will be over one
hundred, it is hoped that the editors of pa
pers throughout the State will make the
wants of our troops as widely known as
possible, and invite the attendance of all
who desire to serve in Pennsylvania regi
ments as assistant surgeons. All appoint
ments as surgeons will hereafter be made
by the promotion of assistant surgeons
who, by faithful, performance of duty, have
shown themselies worthy.

FORTRESS MONROE, July 23.—The Union
prisoners who arrived here yesterday on
the steamboat Kennebec were from Rich
mond, and all remain in hospitals at and
near this place for the present. There
were about two hundred on the boat, and.
most of them are doing well. They say
they were well treated by the rebels while
imprisoned, only they were kept closely
confined, and the food was bad ; but this
was not so much from design as from ne
cessity. They say our surgeons icted
nobly and self-sacrificing toward the sick
and wounded United States prisoners—
going where they go, and remaining with
them while in prison, taking care of them
both day and night.
Union troops are almost daily arriving
at this place, making a short stay, and+
then passing up James river to join Mc-
Clellan's or Burnsides' divisions.
The weather is cool, and favorable for
the sick.
BALTIMORE, July 23.—The American of
this evening publishes the following:
HEADQUARTERS, Ju 22, 1862.
All is dull here at present ly .
There is no
thought of Gen. McClellan being super
seded, although Northern papers speak of
such event being probable. Either Meip
or Halleck will command the armies of
the United States.
When the President was here, General
McClellan recommended and urged such
appointment, but told the President not to
allow his claims to interfere with his action.
in the matter. Several thousand men are
here unable to do duty, although the
health of the army has improved since it
came to the James River.
There is no movement whatever of troops.
The authorities are looking every day for
the enemy to open new batteries on the .
other side of the river. The rebels are
visibie all through the pines on the oppo
site side,but they are never interfered with,
unless they appear in large numbers when
they are shelled out by our gunboats.
Many resignations of officers are being
sent in, but none accepted, except those -
who are worthless.
At the City Council this afternoon, the.
Committee on Conference reported again
the resolution rejected yesterday, by the
second branch, making an appropriation
for bounty for volunteers, when the seces
sionists in the second branch again re
jected it. There was a considerable
crowd, and much excitement, and several
members were assaulted on leaving, the
chambers. A large force, of police was
present, who protected the obnoxious
members to their houses. But for thia
they would have been roughly handled.
A large police force is . now protecting
their houses.
