SUSTAINING 'THZ GOVERN
MINT. •
The Harrisburg Patriot, whose proprie
tors and editors (foar in number) are now
in prisoni-in Washington, upon a charge
of disloyalty, in -its issue of Monday last,
under the caption of "Democracy Loyal"
Bays:
"Democrats,. in common with all citi
zens, owe allegiance to the Matignon! Gov
ernment, and, however much they may
dissent from isolated or accumulated acts
of an administration, cannot side with
rebels in armsagainst-their Government.
And more than this,,Democrats will never
forget the treacireptnt the rebels who de
serted their postrinOe Senateend-House
zof Representatites,son - the Bench, and in
all civil offices South, and who, by their
own act, deliberately made over the Gov
ernment to its doinestic enemies."
# Dropping thepatriotic view of the ques
tion entirely, and looking at it in merely a
partizan sense; the Democracy of the
North have more cause of complaint
against the rebels than any other portion
of our people., Not. edified with break
ing up the only national party in the coun
try, they, after creating a Northern sym
pathy for their exclusive candidate and
prospective traitor, Breckinridge, flew into
rebellion, leaving their Northern friends
to thefierce fury of treacherous renegades
and open foes. These Southern ingrates
deserve r the persistent and everlasting
hate of—every Northern Democrat, and
especially of those who sympathised with
and voted for their candidate. And, we
rejoice to know 7 .tliat the heaviest - blows
which have Won. :dealt' upon Southern
treason have been front the. strong arms
°rooms of these very men. It is a_just
retribution upon the treacheries of those
who first broke op *- national party anti
are now seekinetii 'destroy the govern
.
meat, that they vitheid feel the terrible
vongeance of theee-erhose confidence and
friendship they so guiltilybetrayed
But our duty to our goskrument looms
away above &eke : considerations. The
government is ousts; it belongs to us all
no one luta exclasive claim to it, and we
are all bound to de(end, protect 'and per
**Ate it, and tre' Only way to do this is
support thoseittorlor the time being,
administer its affairs. The present ad
ministration is the orUkxneatis we have for
maintaining American_ nationality against
frown and rebellirehi It must therefore
be supported and ;Retained, with all the
ammo which the applerfolltr,iol....
authoritative movemekta must originate
J. 0130 I:
with it; and it must stand responsible be
fore earth and heaven for the use it makes
of the great power entrusted to its care.
In conducting this war for the preserva
tion of the Union, in which men of all
political-persnasions should be equally in
terested, the President is not bound to foi
-1 low the dictation of any party. It is pre
-1 eisely here where we take leave of Abo
litionism, because it has but a single'ob
ject in prosecuting the war, and that is
wholly and exclusively confined to the
question of Slavery. Because the Ad
ministration, in its wisdom, has not fol
lowed Abolition instruction, it has been
assailed by Senators and Senators' scul
lions, and all for the advancement of their
one idea. They abuse the Administration
without stint, and speak contemptuously
of its acts, and then, with characteristic
insolence, assume to be the best and only
friends the Government has!
FRIDAY THE LAST DAY
By the order of Capt. E. H. Ludington,
mustering officer here, it will be seen that
no recruits for new regiments will be re
ceived after Friday, and that all recruiting
officers are ordered to raport to. him the
number of men they have actually enlist
ed, on or before to-morrow. Thus it will
be seen that the time for recruiting is very
short, and those who wish to fill up must
put forth their best exertions. The best
plan will be to consolidate the squads now
recruiting, form full companies, and go in
to camp at once.
ARCHBISHOP HUGHES
The New York papers of Monday con
tain a sermon from this distinguished
prelate, preached by him the Sunday pre
vious. Much importance is attached to
this discourse on many accounts. He has
just returned front Europe, after eight or
ten months' absence, and his position
gave him great opportunities of ascertain
ing the drift of public opinion concerning
our civil war. The Bishop declares that he
found the influential and governing class
generally against the North; not. that they
had any great sympathy tbr the rebels.but
because they wished to see this goveru
merit permanently broken up. In his
opinion the only course left fur oar side is
to fight it out, and that as soon as possi
ble. The following is the conclusion of
the sermon :
1 do not know what may happen in case
this war should continue as it has been
continuing since I left this country. The
news renders all attempts at judging fair
ly impossible, because it is contradictory
and confused. It is difficult for one, even
acquainted with the country, to compre
hend how the land lies. Much more is it
so with those who are not acquainted with
it. Nor is it in any one's power to say
with absolute certainty what may happen
if this war continue. And in the 111e11,11-
time, what is the prospect of its coming to
an end? I do not see any prospect.—
There does not appear to be an issue: and
it may be that God, for some design of
His own, which future generations can ap
preciate, has allowed this war to scourge
us, in order to bring future benefits to
the human race. There are things
hat no man can pretend to fathom
—questions that depend on so wary
additional circumstances for their so
talon. But there is one thing and one
['motion that should be clear to every
rand. ft is this—that if a war of this
dud should be continued for many years,
t is recognized as being allowable for
other nations to combine in their strength
nd put an end to it with as little delay as
lossible. It is not a scourge that has
visited us alone. From the beginning of
the world wars have been—nation against
nation—and oftentimes the most terrible of,
all wars, which is not a war of nation
against nation, but of brother against
brother. Bow long is this to go on? Ifit
goes on, what is to be the result of it, as
affording a pretext for all the Powers of
Europe to combine to put an end to it?
And although I would not say that even
then they should nut be permitted to in
terfere, when they interfered through be
nevolence, and above all, when the sword
might be put at rest, but I do say to every
man, if they do interfere, and it they in
. tetiere successfully—if the country and the
j Government are not maintained by every
sacrifice that is necessary to maintain
them, then your - United States will become
a Poland—then it will become divided—
then the strife will multiply across every
border; every State or every section will
claim to be independent, to make itself an
easy prey for those who will turn and ap
propriate the divisions of the people
of this country for their own ad
vantage. Oh ! let •it not be so. I
know little of what has transpired here •du
ring my absence. I have had searcely
time to look at the papers siuce I returned.
But much has been done, though not much
has been realized towards terminating this
unfortunate war. Volunteers have beeu
appealed to in advance of the draft, as I
understand, but for my own part, if I had
a voice in the councils of the country,4l
would say, let volunteering continue; if
the three hundred thousand on your list
lie not enough this week, next week make j
a draft of three hundred thousand more. j
It is not cruel, this. This is mercy ;
this is humanity. Anything that will;
put an end to this drenching with blood
the whole surface of the country—that
will be humanity. Then, every man on
the continent, rich or poor, will have to
take his share in the contest. Then it
will not be left to the Government, what
ever Government it will he, to plead with
the people and call on them, to come for
ward, and ask them if they would be
drafted. No, it is for them, the people,to
rise and ask the Government to draft
them; and those who are wealthy and can
not go themselves, can provide substitutes
and bring the - thing to a close, if it
can be done. No doubt the same of
forts will he made on the other nide—and
who can blame them? For the sake of
humanity we must resort to some course of
this kind. In the meanwhile, beloved
brethren, it is enough fur us to weep for
this calamity, to pray God that it may he
put tR . an end, to make sacrifice of every
thing that we have to sustain the inde
pendence, the unity, the perpetuity, the
prosperity of the only Government we ac
knowledge in the world. But it is not
necessary to hate our enemies. It is not
necessary to be cruel in battle, nor to be
cruel after its termination. It is neces
sary to be true, to be patriotic, to do for
the country what the country needs, and
the blessing of God will recompense those
who discharge their duty without faltering
and without violating any of the laws of
God or man.
Southern Literature
In the columns of the Richmond Examine•
appears an advertisement of a forthcoming
rebel history of the first year of the war.
The author, T. W. MacNiahon. is a resi
dent of Richmond. He modestly com
pares himself to Herodotus, Thucydides
and Tacitus, and avers that he has collec
ted official documents from the State and
general governmetits Of the South; so that
to the accuracy of Herodotus and the brill
iancy offacitus he will superadd the skill
of a MacMalion and thegentiine bitterness
of a rebel. The book will be a carious one
7Terhaps inaccurate, and quite probably
biased, but nevertheless interestin g fur all
that.
THE PRESIDENT ON COLO-
NIZLTION.
the New York Worldclotie; an able
article upon the late talk of-Presi.,_.
Lincoln with the committee of blacks in
Washington, as follows:
" We confess that we attach quite as
much importance to the President's propo
sition as a certain touchstone of the pre
sent real character of our free black popu
lation, as for any contingent benefits that
may in the future come out of it. It is
high time that the Northern people, espe
cially the humanitarian abolitionists,
should know just what the disposition and
aspirations of this race are. If they fail
to make the best of the President's gener
ous approach to them, it will not be due
to mere stupidity and ignorance. There
are hundreds among them, clergymen and
others, who have a high egree of intelli
gence, and who are abundantly able to
counsel their less favored brethren. 'lf
they are so listless and inert as to take no
advantage of such an opportunity to re
lieve themselves from a lot which no white
people on the face of the earth would con
tentedly endure for a day, we may consider
it settled that there is something inherent
ly abject and servile in their natures. It
would furnish the advocates of slavery
with a new and very powerful argument.
We trust that the . black men's reply to
the President, which they have promised
shall not be distant, will have no such
damaging effect. If there is any real
manhood in them, now is the time to
show it."
ARMY CORRESPONDENCE
CAMP 2d. VA. VOLUNTEERS, )
NEAR. RAPIDAN
ArGI7ST 14th, 1862.
DEAR POST:—As we have camped for
the night at this place I will take the op
portunity, a very poor one, of giving you
a few notes of our last few days actions.
We are now in pursuit of Jackson, who is
retreating from his stronghold on Cedar
Mountain. You have published to th e
world long ere this the account of the bat
tle that Gen. Banks had with 'Jackson,
by telegraph and by more successful core
respondents than myself. I will therefbr
Content myself with giving you an account
of the part our brigade and division
(Sigel's) have taken thus far in the affair.
We leift Woodville on Friday night the
9th, and marched to Culpepper Court
House that night. The next day we lay
over at Culpepper until evening. During
the day we were startled by hearing heavy
cannonading in our front. Reports came
in that Lank was driving Jackson heron
him, and that by night he would rapturf
him. All was excitement, everyone wish
ing to go ahead and take a part in the sup•
posed chase.
In the evening we were ordered up to
the scene of action in quick time. By
dark we were to the place and found Banks
quieting down from the severe battle lie
had been engaged in. On Our way we iinq
hundreds who were hurrying back to Cul
pepper, saying that their regiments were
cut to pieces, .[-c. We soon learned the
very unpleasant fact that some three or
four of Banks' regiments were in a per
fect panic, and that. the whole division had
very nearly been thrown into a panic by
these few. our arrival aloue saved Banks
from a disgrneeful rout, which eertaink.
would have taken place during the night..
It. was at first all caused by those few
known as skulkers. Snell wen should be
dealt with severely. We took a position
in the woods about ot e fourth of a mile
from the rebels, and during the night an
occasional musket shot would he heard.
The next morning (Sunday) we tired a few
shells into the woods where the rebels
were, killing a great many of them. Alter
amusing ourselves for a while in this way
our sharpshooters were sent down to skir
mish with them. Directly afterward Coln
panics A and Fof the 2d Va. were also
sent down, and after a very pleasant shoot
ing match the rebels left the woods and
"dried up. — During the skirmish the boys
that were not ordered in would load their
guns, go down to the field, lire a shot at
the rebels and return to camp, seeming
perfectly satisfied that they had at least gut
one shot at them.
Thus passed Sunday, and on Mouday,
' under a flag of truce. the dead were
buried and the wounded taken from this
field. Here the boys had opportunities of
talking with the rebels over matters of dif
ferent kinds. Generals Stuart, Ewell and
Jackson talked to our boys and treated
them very kindly. General Milroy went
to their camp and before he knew it he
was surrounded by an eager crowd of reb
els, anxious to see the man who had
caused them so much trouble at differe
times
Several of the rebels signified their ail
ingress to leave and come over to us if
:here was any chance. After awhile some
due blouses were obtained and given to
.he rebel pickets who, Caine over to us,
saying that they never wanted to go back
to their army again.
By night the unpleasant job of burying
thedead was finished, and the boys returli
ed to camp. The rebels said they intend
ed by the next evening to be in Culpep
per, and of course we all looked for an at
tack soon. Showing no signs of attacking
us orf Tuesday" morning, we advanced on
them and found them iu full retreat
When this was ascertained, Milroy's brig
ade, and Bayard's and other cavalry were
ordered in pursuit.
We followed them the first day to Rob.
inson's river, effecting nothingexceptcap
turing a few prisoners. The morning of
Wednesday we advanced to Rapidan riv
er, but fell back, as we could riot get
across. The rebels left in a hurry- Our
boys surprised them while they were bury
ing their dead, and they left behind them
over one hundred of their dead. They
were burying their dead for 98 hours and
still did notget done, while in less than four
hours we buried all ours. The citizens
say that the rebels lost in the battle 1,100
killeu alone. What their wounded was
we have never been able to ascertain.
Our loss was not over one-third that
number in killed. Although they held
the battle ground after the fight, they
must acknowledge they were well whip
ped. The "flying Dutchman" (Sigel) did
not get at them as he wished, or they
would have been the worst whipped set
that ever came out under Jackson.
The boys are anxious to be up arid after
the rebels, and why we lie here is inure
than I am able to say. There is sortie
good motive in it or it would not be done,
for we have the Generals that do not err.
It is supposed b' many that .Jackson will
stand fur DA at Gordonsville, and we only
hope he may.
No one hurt in the Second Virginia.

New Trick Of Naeort and Slidell to
• I
Get the Southern Confederacy
Rec44 l o l ol —
private oorrespondeace from London
states that Mr. Slidell lias arrived in that
city, and that he already had several in
terviews with Mr. Mason, for the purpose
of deciding what was the best step to take
to hasten the recognition of the Southern
Confederacy, which seems to have been of
late an object of great indifference on the
part of the English Cabinet. After sever
al protracted meetings, it is said that the
two rebel delegates have agreed to address
a joint notelto all the European Cabinets,
demanding 'a recognition of the Southern
Confederacy—not in the name of an an•
street principle of rights, not even in vir
tue of its manliness in maintaining its
independence, but in the name of their le
gally asserted rights, of the rights 1,1.0 n
which foreign nations have acted towards
countries situated as the South is at the
present time. The note will state that
eighteen months' struggle, successfully
carried on against the North. constitutes
a right of recognition superior to that
which Belgium and Italy had at the time
their independence was acknowledged by
France and England., Taking these facts,
as well as the principles of international
law set forth in Vattel and others. as the
basis of their demand, they hope to place
France and England in such a position as
to render the refusal of the recognition of
the South almost impossible.
An Immense Arm r.
To form anything like a correct idea of
the immensity of the loyal army that will
soon be in the field, armed and equipped,
it is necessary to place it in a position
where it can, in imagination at least, be
surveyed us a whole, in all its vast propor
tions. The.follos ing, which we find cred
ited to an "exchange .• enables us. in some
measure, to appreciate the magnitude of
the host of citizen soldiers who will soon
he arrayed against rebellion: The new
drafts will give the Govern t .
men. one mil
lion of men, who :an be placed in the
field, if the civil oaie,rs of' the loyal States
do their duty, in.time for the fall camp
aign, fully armed and equipped. To un
derstand the immensity of such a force,
it would lie necessary to see thew up ill
