GOV. 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<oti\ imploring mercy l They were
deserters cocdomed to ignominious death, While
strains of ho ft music and shout-* of l>-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

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. Gloney Jones is stopping at
the hospitable mansion of Hiram B. Swarr.
Eg. I.

n-ruifl for this meeting.
half-past one o’clock, the Chief
M.-.-shal and hia Assistants set about the
work of formiag a procession. 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. A long list of
\ ice Presidents and Secretaries was then
BuLmiilt-.d and adopted.
Guv, Porter was then introduced, and

Mio London Times on tho Bebe!
Ironclads.
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. Stoke, the Administration
candidate for Governor of lowa, ia a re
cent speech made at Keokuk, Baid :
I admit that this is au Abolition war.
It was not such in the start; bat the ad
ministration has discovered that it could
not.Bnbdne the South else than by making
it an abolition war, and they have done
so ; and it will be continued, as an aboli*
D £^ ar so *kere is one slave at
the South to be made Free. * * * j
would rather eat with a nigger, drink with
a nigger, live with a nigger, and sleep with
a nigger than with a copperhead.”
General Ewing's Beport of Kansas
Affairs.
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. Jn„

Admiral Dahlgren.
The Baltimore -American answers bs
follows some reports with regard to Ad
miral Dahlgren’ s health, and his disposi-
on to co-operate with General Gillmore:
"With regard to the health of Admiral
Dahlgren wo apprehend, from his appear
ance, that he is a dy ß peptlc, and never’
wbb a man of robust health, Hia bodily
strength has probably, never been. very,
great, but, for activity of mind and indom-i
itable perseverance, heljias no superion
in the servioe, unless, perhaps, Wo except’
the unapproachable Farragut. His activ--
'ty and energy,. as observed during a!
month’s residence on the flagship, was ai
snbject-of common remark. ■ . :
“The facts are, that Gen. Gillmore and;
Admiral Dahlgren have co-operated ear- 1
neatly and effectually throughout the’
siege. They have entered on the work’
with a determination of succeeding, and’
to allow no temporary reverses or personal!

Ihe machine is a curiosity. It cost two
thousand dollars, is two horse power, and
weighs live hundred pounds. A hodful of
coal will make steam enough to propel
the carnage twenty-five miles, making the
expense of running it less than a cent a

Important to Drafted Men.
The following important opinion o!
Judge Holt has been issued by the Pro'
vost Marshal General:
Under the thirteenth section of the en
rollment act, it is clear that a party draft
ed and wishing to furnish a substitute or
pay the commutation, must do so on or
before the day fixed for his appearance.—
If he fails to report himself and is arrest
ed as a deserter, he has still the right to
go before the board of enrollment and
prove that he ta not liuble to do military
duty : but, if, on hearing his claim to ex
emption, he is to be held liable, he cannot
escape personal service. He is also, un
der BHeh circumstances, subject to be pro
ceedtd against as a deserter.
