EXTIRPATE THE CAUSE
This is the cry of the Abolitionists, and
it was their cry long bcfore ti,.• war begun.
Slavery is the cause of the war ; therefore
extirpate it. That is the demand of those
who declare the Constitution to be a cove
nant with hell, that - ought not to be re
garded ; and that demand is made by those
who have covenanted with God and the
people, by solemn oath, to support the Con
stitution, and who, without this, could not
have had any official power to exercise.
Official perjury is what Abolitionists de
mand as a public duty, and it is through
official perjury that they expect God's
blessing clion us in this great National-life
struggle.
But even withe,t our Constitution and
our official oathsleTsupport it, let us think
a little and we shall find that their logic is
utterly destructive of all peace and good
will among men if carried into practice:
and demands war as the proper means
of settling all conflicts of convictions in so
ciety. Men's acts proceed from their wills,
and these are governed by their convic
tions and it is the conflict of opinions
that causes war, and not the object or in
stitution about which convictions
No person. thing, or institution can be a
cause of war, but diff: , -renees of opinion
abbnt it may be. It is. therefore, these
differences that are to be extirpated it we
are to have peace, and. not the persons
who differ, nor the olliect of difference, if
we follow their logic lcgicaliv.
But they do not mean this. They mean
that we must extirpate the thing about
which people differ so seriously as to fall
into war. Well, let them have it so, and
then let them face the consequences of
their logic. Because two men quarrel
about a tract of land cc a house, extirpate
it; because two lovers quarrel about the
same woman, extirpate her: because par
ents quarrel about the government of their
children, abolish family government: be
cause men quarrel about political systems,
abolish them—or about schools, and
tariffs, and maritime rights, and all forms
of rights, and churches. and religion. and
God, abolish, extirpate them all ! Shame
on such logic ! We need only expose, not
answer it. It is evidently framed, not to
discover truth, but to hide the vice of a
foregone conclusion.
Will they then full back on the other
aspect of the question. and say we 1111154
extirpate the differenz.e. , of opinion or con
viction about slavery that have caused the
war? Then, if we did not di Ter from them
there would he no war and no cause of
war. It is difference that makes conflict,
and it re. j uires both roir conviction and
theirs, combined together, and not those
of either side alone. to make the differ
ence. Our convictions therefore. just
as much the cause of the war as theirs, if
we are all to he charged with the opinions
of the A bolitionists ; and the way proposed
is to extirpate their convictions, because
they differ from ours, end neither side
knows how to allow the other to differ
from it. No; the cause- of the war is that
they rebelliously attempted an armed and
organized revolution ; and it is to break
down that armed organization. and to re
store law and subjection to law, that we
are at war. 7
Bat. let us not drop tl.r logic. yet. It is
at our alleged extreme diq.-renee of opin
ion that the war is to be aimed by the
Abolitionists, and not at. the armed organ
ization. This logic will, therefore, justify
almost any war. All that is needed to
start a war is a difference of conviction on
any subject which the parties cannot set
aside or solve by their logic. Thus civil
wars are always justified. and that on both
sides; and so are 1.11 wars: because each
has the same right to war .because the
other differs from it in opinions in which .
both take a deep interest. .Thus it is just
for Christians to make war upon Pagan
ism, or Mohammedanism. or Judaism, or
Catholics on Protestants. Thus is justi
fied-The Scotch Solemn League and Cove
nant "to extirpate popery and prelacy,"
and the league of the Guises against the
Ilugenots and against the Government of
France that tolerated thorn, in order to
extirpate Calvinism, and the mission of
the Spanish Armada to extirpate the Pro
testant government of England, and-er.
ery war on.account of opinion that has
afflicted our race.
No doubt differences of opinion do often
lead to acts of violence that make war in
evitable; bat it is mmally at the borders
and between the border mien that these
causes arise, and from there the excite
ment spreads. Here, however. there was
no war of elements along the borders.
All was peace and harmony there. It was
in the moral and geographical extremes
of the nation that the strife arose. Thence
started the thunder elonds, spreading their
electric poison over the land as they ap
proached each other, until they met mid
way and blasted the peace and prospects
of a nation.
Funeral orßrigadier - Gen. Stevens.
The funeral of this gallant soldier took
place at Newport, R. 1., on Thursday.—
Services were held at, the house ''of Rev.
Charles T. Broolth. bother-in-law of the
deceased. , The-hody lay in - state at the
State House; and &ow 'a early hoar in
pss morning it was visited by crowds,
CLOSING UP
. We trust that the gentleman who next
makes a tuption to have all business in the
city suspended for a certain period will
give some good reason for his proposition.
As it is, these frequent suspensions of the
life of the city only add to the general de
pression and gloom. The proposition
itself looks as if we desired to advertise
our affliction, while our actions, in many
instances, expose our insincerity. Putting
up our window-shutters in order to mani
fest our grief, and keeping open the door
to accommodate customers, is the vilest
hypocrisy, and we regret to say that sev
eral such demonstrations yesterday fell
corder our observation. t )thers who com
plied with the suggestion of the Mayor
gave their employees an excellent oppor
tunity, not to mourn, but to enjoy them
selves, and they eagerly embraced it. In
:het, this "outward mourning," although
eminently proper occasionally, would at
the present time be hunored more in its
violation than its observance. It does no
posnible good, but subjects the people to
many inconveniences. Public schools are
~uspended, and many people front the rural
districts ale sadly inconvenienced when
they come to the city and find their
favorite establishments closed for the
day. In fact; the city yesterday re
reminded one of a grave-yard, be
cause each house looked as if it ought to
have a piece of crape hanging from its
door. We can all feel our calamities
without this exhibition of woe; it can do
no good; it can neither conquer rebels
nor repel invasion: nor can it revive those
whom an inscrutable Providence has sent
to untimely graves. In these trying times
let us be as strong and cheerful as we can.
Even if the heart -aches at some distress
with which we may be afflicted let us not
add to the general gloom by unnecessary
displays of public lamenti.tion. Rather
let us hide our tears and smother our
sighs, in the full confidence that the end
of our country's troubles is close at
hand. Let us be as cheerful and hopeful
as we can, and not add to our distress by
unnecessary and ostentatious exhibitions
of unavailing woe.
DEATH OF COL, JAMES H
CHILDS
We have already announced the death
of this brave young officer on the bloody
battle field of the Potomac. Front the
very beginning of this terrible war he has
been a devoted soldier of the republic. --
Surrounded by all that makes life pleas
ant—wealth, social ties of the dearest and
most sacred character—in the prime of
manhood and of usefulness—he left all, to
fight for the constitution of his country and
the restoration of the I 'llioll. Eminently
qualified 1) education and character to
adorn ally position in iifc, he gave at once
his time and his talents to his country.
With a firm faith in the God of Rattles, he
went into the field a true Christian sol
dier. He sought no fietitions fame. Mod
est and unassuming, lie went to tight in
whatever position he might be called upon
to fight. Ile sought no notoriety. his
great aim was to do his duty to his fellow
men, hit country and his God.
He has left a glorious name—one of
which his children will be proud—and
has died the death of a Christian soldier.
We sympathize with those who have
lost a dear and valued friend: ifut they
mourn not without hope, for his crown of
glory is not alone of this world.
THE ART OF WAR IN EUROPE
We are indebted to 1f0n..1. K. Moor
head for a valuable public d , peument, Col.
Delatieltn, " .11.epr or the art of War in
Europe is Is; t, IF and It i s
embellished with a number of finely col
ored plates and a series of valuable maps,
charts and engravings. The work will be
of great value just now.
Tho Pay of the Militia
The pay of the militiamen who have
been called into service is the same as
that of officers and privates of the regular
army. The law of Pennsylvania is as fol
lows:
Fourteenth. The officers, non-com
missioned officers and privates, when call
ed into actual service, either on a requi
sition from the President of the United
States or under the orders of the Governor
of this State, shall receive the like pay
and rations and such other emoluments as
are or shall be allowed and granted by the
said rnited States to the officers, non
commissioned officers and privates of the
regular army at the time they shall he in
service, and the non-commissioned officers
and privates shall be armed and equipped
at the expense of the State during said
service."
The following are the rates &lowed to
regimental ntlieers of artillery and infan
try by the rniterl States:

The pay incase of invasion is essen
tially different from that during riot, tumult,
breach of the peace, or when the militia
is called upon to aid the civil process.
In such emergencies, non-commissioned
officers and privates receive $1,50 per
diem each, and commissioned officers the
same compensation as those of the regular
army.
A Heart Dislodged on the Battle
Field.
J4t North, the resident Surgeon of the
New England Relief ROOM, New York,
states that .lames Baker, of the First M ass
achnse tts Regiment who, in the seven days
battle, was knocked down by the horses
attached to an artillery piece, the wheels
passing over his body, the weight press
ing principally on the left side. He was
taken up in a state of insensibility and
carried to a hospital, where it was found
that his heart had been dislocated, the
apex occupying the same position on the
right that it should have been in the left.
Up to a few days previous to hisadmission
to the New England Rooms he had fre
quent attacks of bleeding at the lungs. He
remained there a short time under treat
ment, and-has since been sent home, with
a prospect of partial recovery at least.—
He may survive many years. It is au in
stance in which a broken heart has near
ly been healed by surgical skill.
ON E of the strangest ideas that has taken
possession of Mr Lincoln's brain is, that
as the _United States, for forty years, has
been educating men to command armies
when& war should come, therefore, when
she war_has_come. he must employ these
.edacassid soldiers to do some lighting.—

The AnniversarytAr the Constitu
tion.
Pursuant to notice from the State Com
mittee the people assembled at Eakeree
Hotel, (Woods' run) on the memorable
17th of September, being the 75th Anni
versary of the American Constitution.
The meeting was called to order at the
hour designated by Robt. H. Kerr, Esq.,
who nominated Mr. Henry Phillips, of
Phillipsville, for President; Col. John
McKee and Hugh McCarthy Vice Presi
dents, Wm. Alexander and R. B. Guthrie,
Secretaries.
. The President stated the object of the
assemblage and passed a high eulogium on
the sacred document which all men should
cherish with the fondest recollection, as
it was made for prosterity by the wisdom,
labor and patriotism of the best of Ameri
cans. It is a fitting occasion this, and
brings to mind what the war of '76, who
were the identical patriots of '9B, that
made this vast country what it is. Here
plenty crowns the Tabor of the husbandman
and here every man can worship his Heav
enly father in the mode and manner best
suited to his taste or habits. The All Wise
Being who guided Washington to conquer
Uritish tyrants and break the spell which
held .his land in bondage to crowned
heads will now be -with us evermore, in
our death struggle to free once more our
God ordained country from the grasp of
traitors.
I am glad to greet you, gentlemen, on
this auspicious occasion. It is right—nay,
it is proper, that those who revere the
memory of the departed sages who left us
a country should meet and do honor to
their names. I am, then, proud to mingle
with my fellow-citizens who can stand out
from party on a great occasion like the
present to commemorate the deeds worthy
of free Anierieans. "If storms and tem
pests beset us in the morning, the end of
the day" will be seen clear, bright, and
animating. Such, I trust, will ever be the
issue of the gloom and darkness that for a
season appear to envelope us. It is, then,
to me a welcome and grateful task to pre
side over your meeting on such an inter
esting occasion as this—and, in the lan
guage of another, " May the God of our
fathers preserve the Constitution and the
Union fur ages yet to come 1 May they
stand like the everlasting hills, against
which the tempests from every quarter of
the heavens shalt beat in vain! In a word,
may they endure as the name of Washing
ton shall be honored and cherished among
the children of men!' • [Loud applause.]
Gentlemen, the chair is ready to proceed
to-business. _
Robert H. Herr, Eby., prefaced a motion
for a committee of five to prepare busi
ness for the meeting by reading the letter
of Washington, transmitting the Constitu
tion adopted on this memorable day sev
enty-Jive years ago, to the "-President and
Congress; and read from a book nearly as
old as the time-honored Constitution itself,
which was received with feelings of loud
demonstration by those who love and
cherish the work of Washington as they
do their own lives. The chair appointed
It. li. Kerr. Jas. Tinker, Thos. Hughes,
and ilagh Anderson, a committee on res
olutions.
In the absence of the committee. A.. 1.
Raker, Esq., addressed the meeting in a
speech of much power, and was listened
to with the most profound respect and
loudly applauded.
The committee, through their chairman,
made the following report, and on motion
of Capt. Guthrie, (of Robinson Tp., ) it
was unanimously adopted.
The Anniversary of the birth qf the
American Constitution, formed on Sept.
17th, 1777, and now in its seventyjifth
year.
Wimif:As, The men of';;, who framed
the Federal compact only recognized
"white inhabitants' . to be enrolled• into
the service of the country, and the men of
that day were the men of '9B, who formed
the American Constitution under which
we have lived in peace,prosperity and hap
piness seventy-fiveyears. And as we re vere
the memory of the patriots and sages who
left to this generation the best form ofgov•
ernment ever devised by the wisdom of
man, we, the disciples of Washington,
pledge to each other to stand by the Con
stitution and protect it with oar lifeblood.
"The stars will he our ramp, the Deity
our light," when defending Washington,
and the honored Lames associated with
the Father of his country, the boon of
Heaven to the human family, therefore
Resolved, [hat the people should sink
the partizan and rise to the dignity of an
American citizen when our country stands
in need of the services of all loyal men,
we should know but one country and one
flog to govern over all, as did the men of
'76, who, by their courage and American
patriotism, left, us the highest legacy ever
bequeathed to a free people, and in the
beautiful language of an eminent British
statesman, The American Constitution
is the very greatest refinement in social
policy to which any state of circumstances
has ever given rise or to which any - uge has
ever given birth."
Resolved That the late appalling calam
ity which took place at the Arsenal, in
the terrible and awful death of our peo•
ple, has filled our hearts with sorrow, and
we mingle our heartfelt regret with the
distressed who mourn the irreparable
loss sustained in this dreadful calamity,
which has cast a sad gloom over our
county.
Resolved, That peace and plenty has
crowned the efforts of the American peo
ple since the country took its proud posi
tion among the nations of the earth, and
it becomes the duty of every man to de
fend what the wisdom of Washington and
his oo•workers, from every State in the
Confederacy, made for the prosperity of
man, and all who will be found aiding or
conspiring to destroy the Constitution
should meet a felon's death; for "he shall
have judgment without mercy that showeth
no mercy;" and may the great God of the
Universe preserve this whole work of man
for ages yet to come.
Resolved, That General McClellan, if
not trammeled by official dictation, could
and would be invincible; we, the people,
have faith in his unsurpassed military
abilities, and the most abiding confidence
that he will subdue traitors and restore
' the country as Washington left it.
Resolved, That all papers friendly to
the Constitution be requested to publish
the proceedings.
Mr. Kerr then introduced the namesake
of the patriot who first affixed his immor
tal name to the Declaration of Independ
ence, Mr. Hancock, who delivered a speech
replete with the most lofty and patriotic
sentiments. The meeting,: throughout his
remarks,teatified their approbation by loud
applause. This younggentleman hese vivid
imagination, with a well schooled mind, and
is a true Constitutional Democrat who
will make his mark in his profession.
Mr. Linn was then called for. This
gentleman spoke at great length and was
no way sparing on those who were utter
ing treasonable language against the very
instrument we were here celebrating. The
speech of Mr. Linn was a masterly defence
of the constitutional right, of every man in
tbis, our America. He was very sarcas
tic on the Abolitionists, who are as dan
gerous to the welfare and true happiness
of the country as the rabid fire-eaters of
the South. Both are bad and require the
close attention of the men in power, and
he trusted that, our constitutional Presi
dent and those associated. with him, will
give their special attention to newspapers
and others who arifor disturbing the Con
stitution by violating its precepts in eman
cipating hordes of negroes, to the utter
ruin and destruction of that sacred com
pact, made and entered into by the in
pired wisdom of that immortal name
hich should never be forgotten or over
looked by man. Loud applause greeted
this syeaker tkirlekbart biaelotrent and
touchmg: remarks.
Mr. Thomas Farley next addressed the
people. The rematkii of this worthy gen
tleman were just what might b eiipected
from his • age and experience : strong,
prabticatcommon 'sense - , tortchtnt and to
the point, in every sentence that tell from
his weU balanced mind, and had a telling
effect on the audience. "Shall we place
a detrimental stain on the Constitution
left by the Father of his Country, to sub
serve the worst passions of the human
heart?' God forbid, sir !" exclaimed this
old veteran, fairly bringing down the house
with thunders of applause.
The meeting adjourned at ten o'clock,
with three rousing cheers for the Constitu
tion, and three more for Little Mac, the
Wellington of our army.
The meeting was a great success, and
will have a telling effect with the people
who admire and love the men of '9B.
Horrible Murder by Negroes in
assachusetts
The Springfield, Massachusetts, Repub
lican, of the 11th cost , has the following
account of the murder of a mother and
and her two children at Otis, Hampshire
countyi
One of the most brutal and revolting
murders that has ever been recorded in
this part of the State, has come to light in
Otis. The circumstances, so far as known
are these. About noun on Sunday, the
wife of George Jones, twenty-two years of
age and her two children, a girl two, and
a boy four years old, left home to gather
berries. Not returning byvetting a search
was instituted which was a ntinue - d through
Sunday night without sue •ess. On f
Mon
day the dead
were
of the mother and
her children diFeovered hidden by
leaves in the woods. The heron of the
mother had been grossly outrag,d, and
her brains knocked out, evidently from a
blow from a club. The heads of the chil
dren were also broken in, and their bodies
concealed near each other. As yet there
is no clue to the mmtery, although sus
picion is fastin,ed, somewhat, upon a
party of negroes. .

HARI:IF:BURG, Sept. 18.—News received
during the night, indicates that the result
of yesterday's fight is decidedly in our
favor, but still another battle is necessary
to detErmine who shall finally be the vic
tor. It was expected that the battle would
be again renewed this morning; but no fir
ing has been heard, and it is supposed that
burying the dead is the order of the day.
General McClellan's headquarters are at
Sharpsburg.
Seventy thousand men have already re
sponded to the Governor's call for the de
tense of the State.
Surgeon General Smith dispatched a
special tram to Ilagetstown yesterday,
with surgeons to attend the wounded.
The number of soldiers wounded in the
recent battles is very large. The most, of
them will probably be brought into Penn
sylvania.
Surgeon General Smith appeals to the
ladies for immediate contributions of such
articles as are needed for their comfort.
All packages should have their contents
marked outside, and addressed to General
Hale, Harrisburg.
The rebel prisoners brought here during
the last few days, were this morning sent
to Fort Delaware.
There has been nothing further received
from McClellan's army. No fighting up
to this hour.
New Yons, Sept. 18.—By the steamer
Ocean Queen, which arrived at this port
this morning, from New Orleans, we learn
that the 'rebel expedition to New blkitico,
under Colonel Sibley, had been met near
Fort Filmore, by Colonel Canby's forces,
and was intercepted by the California
troops. A battle ensued, in which Sib
ley's forces were routed and everything
captured from him, including over half
his force, only 150 escaping.
Colonel Sibley was assassinated by his
own men, who charged him with drunk
