CURTIN a HE SOLDIERS’ friend, READ THE EVIDENCE. The Pittsburgh Gazette of the 20th of July, alluding to Got. Curtin’s operations with our gallant volunteers, at the open ing of the rebellion, remarked : Entrusted with the privilege of expending the appropriation made by the legislature for the common defence, he gave to his own croa tures the power of making private contracts-as hit private agenJ* in relation to articles with which they were entiroly unfamiliar, to the great injury ef the soldier who was victimised by their unskillfulness or fraud. This fact was found by a committee, appointed by himvelf, under the pres sure of a rublic olamor which grew out of tho treatment of the volunteers who had assembled at Harrisburg.” It is notorious in Harrisburg that GO7. Curtin was for weeks afraid to bo seen in the streets ; as long as the soldiers re mained in and -about the city, he took good care to be closely employed at the Capi tal. A few weeks after, the soldiers en camped near 1 Green* Castle, Franklin county, were ashamed to leave their tents, because of tbo ragged condition of their clothing. Had Gov. Curtin at that time visited them, he never would have return- : ed to Harrisburg, so intensely hostile were the soldiers towards him. The Gettysburg Star and Banner, a Re publican paper, in its issue of May 31 1861, alluding to the corruptions lately enumerated by the Pittsburgh Gazette, re marked : Alt ihis, it seems, was but the b-ginuining of gigantio fraud, as though tho nation and the State had nrt betn so disgusted by ihe porfi ly cf recent Administralions that it hurled them from power more for that cause than any other, shr man who makes ihe present effort of the p ople to preserve the liberties fought for and achieved by our fathers an occasion torch our soldiers and enrich himself, IS AN ENEMY WHOM IT WOULD BE CHARITT TO HiNG We care not who is the guilty part 7. He who defrauds our bravo soldiers is worse than a traitor. We do not know who is immediately to blame, but this we know, THAT GOVERNOR COF TIN’ CANNOT ESCAPE CENSURE Either he i. imphea'cd with these public thieves, and receives part of the plunder, or he is guilty of appointing men to office who deserve the execration of all good citizens H» may take which horn of the dilem ma he pleaso. Tho rosition of affairs renders official peculation dcubly monstrous. Have wo just fled from corruption to corruption—from ono vile Administraticn to an anothor viler V Many vote! for Gov. Curtin to avoid oorrnpticn AND HAVE THEY LINKED THEMjELVKS 10 ROTTENNESS ? If the interests of this country are bound up with tho ,'suceess of Republican principle!, as enunciated in the Chioago plat form, as we believe they are, it becomeithe par ty to purge its ranks ofTHEFE VILE MEN. and lot tho STIGMA OF THEIR VILLAINY rosten t!II ' !n alone, and not on the party. AWAY . WITH TRAITORS AND MEN WHO SPECO- , LATH ON PATRIOTISM.” ' Leaving these -indignent lines for the consideration of our readers, we next de sire to direct attention to the hypocracy and deplicity of Gov. Curtin as exhibited by his late visit to Gen. Meade’s army. Under the pretense of presenting that offi- cer with & sword y the Govenor visited the army, bnt his real purpose was to elec* t'oneer for votes. The sword] in ques tion waß purchased last winter , with money subscribed, by the Pennsylvania Reserves ; but Curtin found it covenient to keep it until after his re-nomination for Govenor, to be used. for electioneering purposes. A correspondent alluding to the visit of Curtin and his set of jolly cro* nies to the army remarks as follows : His friends in the army endeavored to make capital for him there, hy presenting a sword to Gen. Meade. Now mark the coincidence ! At the very moment when feasting and drinking and fpeechifying. all for political effect with the soldiers, were going on in a Gcntra”s marquee, in a squalid tent near by. #».<• sorrowing men were b«nt before Hva-icr\analnn revelry and laughter came rudely nn their ear£ their hearts were bursting with the prospee ; ofh parting from 4arth and all the/ held dear, for a journey to the far off hither shore. But what cared the wirepullers and the revellers for those poor soldiers, dead already in ontlcipktionl Dead soldiers could not vote! For the living, oho they cared jat as tittle; but their votes were val uable to gaia.them, martial pride was flattered by the presentation of a magnificent sword: to their oommaider. Sensible soldiers saw apd thought and spoke jast as we have w itten. and though a'Colonel Callis and a few others at- tempted to grail their men. thedodgewastoSpal- P6ble, andit has completely failed. This is the candidate whose re-election thb. ofthis city was establish- «d to BecUte.; That paper befog the Gov emor’s organs weinsiat that it shalli at least endeayor to dfipose of these chargee of corruption, preferred against him by its own party. THK SUSPENSION OF T&E HA- Bn AS COBFOS The GftwwicZe of this city, is quite furi ous in its denunciation of those who are •not pleased with therJPrealdent’B Bnepen eion of the writ of . Aa&eos corpus. ;Its anxiety to assist its “shoddy candidate*’ for Governor, makes it quite violent in its denunciations of “copperheads.” Hon S. A. Purviance, in leaving the Cabinet of Gov. Curtin, remarked: “Por rcaaons which appeal to my self-resp'.et, I cannot consent to continue any longer in con* nection with your Administration. X, therefore, tinder you my resignation oJ the office cf Attor ney General,” The Chronicle, commenting upon this resignation, observed as follows, which we produce as an offset to that paper's pres ent zeal for Curtins’ re-election. It said: "ire are not informed yet what thesi reasons aro, butenough is known io state that they arise out of the alleged, complicity of tho Governor in those soandaloui contract transaction: through which the State has been swindled out ot immense sums of m;ney, ard oar brave volantcors sab jesiei to a series of hardships and inconveni ences which few but themselves would Have bad the patience to tolorate." ANOTHER USURPATION. The justification of the suspension of the habeas corpus by the Abolition press of the country,- demonstrates their willing ness to sustain the Administration, even if it, under tho plea oi “necessity/ 1 forbid popular elections or proclaim an Empire. Where is the necessity for this suspension throughout peaceful Commonwealths, un iess to oppress the people ?

Reported for the Pittsburgh Port.] Lam-aster, Sept. 17,1863, The spacious streets of this fine little city are crowded with enthusiastic voters who have come here to reaffirm, in public meeting, their devotion to the Constitu tion and the Union of these United Btateß. At an early hour in the morning, the Railroad trains commenced emptying their thousands into town, and before the fore noon was half gone, the sturdy farmers who till the fertile soil of the far-fanned “Garden of Pennsylvania,” were block ing up the numerous turnpikes leading higher with wagons and carriages, crowded to their utmost capacity. S rong delegations are in attendance from the adjoining couptjpp ©f Chester, Lebanon, Berks, York and Dauphin. Judge Woodwaid, our glorious nominee lor Governor, is in the city. He is the guest of Sanderson. He spent a short tima at Michaels’ Hotel this morn ing, where a large number of persons call ed on him. No one doubts his triumphant election. It is not believed that Curtin will cet. over Iwo or three thousand minor ity in Lancaster county—a reduction of oii“ half the upual rnajirity. .1 udge Black is a guest at Wheatland, and Hon. «J.

The at :<-mpL was executed with difficulty, owing m the immense crowd that blocked up the HTtuisiu every direction, notwithstanding many thousands had already gone to the place appointed for the meeting. A her an hour’s work, something like order was brought out of the chaotic mass of human beings that every foot of standing ground in the principal streets the c iv, and tbe grandest procession ever Hern in old Democratic Lancaster C ty was got in motion, p.nd conducted to »u orchard in the north eastern part of the place, where stands had been erected for the officers and speakers. After the rear of the procession reached the ground, Hon. Isaac K Hiester mount ed the staud and nominated Kx-Governor PtißTKii, of Harrisburg, for President, which was responded to with enthusiastic cheers by the assemblage.

The article of tho London Times, not AWs, os published yesterday, upou the detention of the British iron cladß now building for the rebels, is so remarkable a change of opinion, that we quote it more at length : “There is nothing in our laws, or the laws of nations that forbidß our citizens irom sending armed vessels as well as mu nitions of war to foreign ports for sale.—- It is a commercial adveutnre which no nation is bound to prohibit, and whioh only exposes the person engaged in it to Lhe penalty of confiscation.” This is the doctrine laid down, not by the British Court ol Admiralty, but by the Supreme Court of the United States. It is Ameri can. not English law, and no law can be clearer fife are ready to admit that there is much more to be added. There U a comparatively recent status called the For eign Enlistment act, which was certainly designed to control the proceedings of neutrals in dealing with belligerents; and there ib an instinctive feeling on the part of the public that the construction and sale of such vessels as the Alabama; for such uses as those to which the Alabama is turned, ought not, whether actually law ful or otherwise, to be allowed by law.— After making all abatements due to the exceptional character of the war between Federals and Confederates, we must needs admit that the case of war ships is not. like the case ol munitions of war. There is not so much direct intervention or pro vocaiion in one case as there is in the other. Hi ties and gunpowder are soon lost aight of, but a ship of war is anaetive engine, endowed, as it were, with life and personality, and traceable in her achieve ments from day to day. Cut.. Wm. M.

A report from General Ewing relating to the state of affairs in Kansas, larly the conflagration of Lawrence and the massacre of its inhabitants, is pub lished in the St. I.onih papers. General Ewing details the operations in pursuit of Quantrell, and states the facts as to his muc -abused policy. It does not appear that General Ewing is tp blame lor the Lawrenoe tragedy. The failure to inter cept or overtake the guerrillas, is chiefly chargeable to errors of judgment in sub ordinate officers. The failure of attempts to warn the people of Kansas of their danger, is thus accounted for : With ono exception, citiaens along the route, who could well have given the alarm, did not even attempt it. One man excused hiwsolt fof his negleot pn the plea that bis horßes had been working hard the day before. A boy, living ten or twelve miles from Lawrence, begged his lather to let him mounthig pony, and, going a by road, alarm the towD, and he was not al lpwed to go. Hr. J. R efJ d, living iu the 11 eeper neighborhood, near Rudor, start ed ahead of Quantrell from that place, to carry the warning to Lawrence ; but while fl, 1 "? , at foil speed, his hors 6 fell and was tailed. 1 and he himself so injured that died next day, 1 Thus surprised, the people of Law rence were powerless. They had never, exoept on the occasion I relerred to above, thought an attack probable; and, feeling strong in their own preparations, never, even then, asked for troops. They had an abundance of arms in their city aree na , and could have met hjuantrell, on halt nn hour’s notice, with five hundred men. Hie guerrillas, reaching the town at sunrise, cavght most of the inhabitants asleep, and scattered to the various houses so promptly, as to prevent the concentra tion of any considerable number of the men.” Ihe number of persons killed, and the mischiel done at Lawrence, is thus slat ed i Il'.ey robbed thj most of tbe stores and banks, and burned one hundred and eighty-five buildings, including one fourth of the private residences, and nearly all tbe business houses of the town —and with circumstances of the most fiendish atroci ty murdered one hundred and forty un armed men, amoDg them fourteen recruits of the 11th Regiment, and twenty of tbe Kansas, colored, Volunteers. About twenty-four persons were wounded.’ 1 Ihe conclusion of General Kwiug’s re port is in these terms : On the 25th inet., 1 issued an order re □ airing all residents of the counties of Jackson, Cass, Bates, and that part ol ' ernOQ included in this district, except ihorte within a mile of tbe limits of the military stations and the garrisoned towns, and those north of Brush Creek and west of Big BiQr, to removi from their present places of residence within fifteen days from t hat dat»»— those who prove tbeir loy• ahy to be allowed to move out of the dis trict or to any military station in it, or to any part ol Kansas went of the horde: counties—all others to remove out of the district. VV hen the war broke out, the dinlrict to which this order applies was peopled by a Community three-fourths of wbotn were intensely disloyal. The avowed loyalists have hern driven from their farms long since, and their houses and improvements g'-tierally destroy**-!. 1 hey are living io Kansas and at military stations in MKson* n, unable to return to their homes. None remain ou their f*»rms but rebel andneau tral families; and, practically, the condi t»on of their tenure is that they shall feed, clothe and shelter tbe guerrillas, furnish them information, and deceive or withhold information from me. J he exceptions are few —perhaps twen ty families in those parts of the counties to which the order applies. Two thirds of those who left their Umila-a on the bor der i;:.J Wf-nt to the rthel army have re turned. They dare not stay at home, and lo mailer what terms of amnesty may be granted, they can never live in the coun try except as brigands. And so long as their families and associates remain, they will etay, until the last man is killed, to ravage every neighborhood of the border. N ith your approval, 1 was about adopting, before this ra'd t mejisures for the removal (if the families ct the guerrillas and of known rebels, uuder which two-thirds of the families affected by this order woold have been compel!-d to jro. That order would have been most difficult of execu tion, and uot half so effectual as this. — 1 hough this measure may seem severe, 1 believe it will prove not inhumane, but mercifujj to the uon-combatants affected by it. i hose who prove their loyalty will find houses enough at the stations, and will not be allowed to suffer for want of food. Among them there are but few die satisfied with the order, notwithstanding the present hardship it imposes. Among the Union refugees, it is regarded ns* the best assurance they hate iv*r bad of a return to their homes, aud permanent peace thepe. To obtain the full military advantages of this removal of the people, I have or dered the destruction of all grain and hay in shed or in the field not near enough to military stations for removal there. 1 have also ordered from the towns occupied as military stations a large number of per* ‘ioub either openly or secretly disloyal, to prevent the guerrillas getting information of the towns-people, which they will no longer be able, to get of the farmers, Tbe execution of these orders will pos sibly lead to a still fiercer and more active struggle, requiring the best use of the ad ditional troops the General commanding baa sent me ; but will goon result, though with much unmerrited loss and suffering, in patting an end to this savage border war, I am, Colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant, THOMAS EWING.
