In our paper nf yesterday, we put down
the yearly burdens of Allegheny county
for State and war purposes at $3,268,000
instead of s2.lBo,ooo—which is nearer th,
actual amount. We also put down the
amount (on the Gazette's basis) at $2,178,-

our Federal friends ought not to mind.

at either figure.
GEN, SIGE G AND TILE ADOLIT I 0 N -
Gen. SIGEL, one of the officers of the
United States army, has, like BUTLER and
Rossmin, descended to making stump
speeches, advocating the re-election of
Goy. Gurvrix. CURTI - IV, during the hey
day of
.Know•Nothingiam,..in 1864, made
a speeeh in Centre county, in which, al
luding to the Germans, he remarked, That
they had "two skulls, and that one had to
be broken through, before anv enlighten
ment could be hammered through the
other." This same CreTIN is now a can
didate, and FRANZ SIGEL feels it compat
ible with his duty as a German born, and
as an officer in the army, to advocate his
continuance in an which he has dis
graced.
The Abolitionists never exhibited great
er hypocrisy than in their present pre
tended admiralion of Gen. SIGEL ; if that
party really entertained anything but con
tempt and hatred for his countrymen
living amongst us, why do they not show
it in some substantial manner. It
is notorious that the German vote of
our county goes far to make up the Aboli
tion party, and yet there is not this fall a
single Garman name upon that ticket.
Abolitionists can b 8 very full of professions
of friendship-for the Germans upon the
eve of an important election ; the loaves
and the fishes, however, they take partic
ular attention to distribute among them
selves.
The speech of Gee. SIGEL was not cal
culated to strengthen Gov. CURTIN ; it
was a war speech, in which the speaker
hinted at the probability of its continu
anoe for ten years to come. This may be
a nice prospect for officers in the army
upon big pay and rations, who were like
many we know of beggars before the war
broke out; but it is not a pleasant contem
plation for us who have to pay the taxes.
Were we in the army, in any capacity,
from Major General to Butler, luxuriating
in large income, with a bright prospect of
its continuance, we might, like Gen. Si
GEL, be favorable to war for the balance
of our 'life; but situated as we are, as Dr,
O'ClLLAsfe,n remarked, "circumstanced
as we are," we are anxious to have it over
jut as soon as possible. The Adminis
tration at Washington and Harrisburg,
have proved their utter inability to con
duct hostilities against the rebels. This is
known to SIGEL; as well as it is to the coun•
try, but he is a professional soldier; fighting
is his vocation, and when not in action he
conceives it to be his duty to obey orders
in-a civil department. He is, therefore,
upon the stump in Pennsylvania, advocat
ing those whose incapacity will likely
prolong hostilities for ten years, at least.
This sort of patriotism is a paying proles
shin. Look at BEN BUTLER going about
dressed up in a gaudy uniform, making
buncombe speeches—instead c-f being in
the field—for which he receives the snug
pay of a Major General. Such situations
are very rare, indeed, and it requires very
greatvvirtne to resist their temptation.
Whek therefore, we hear of BUTLER an
nouncing himself as having been a "long
life Democrat',' we think of his large
sali.iyaed rations, and his buncombe is in
stantly_ dispelled.
AN ORDER FROM STANTON
- -
Major Getteralßaeq.)_ of the Deptut
ment'of the •Mo'nongahela, received an
order yesterday from Secreted) , STANTON,
to have returned to their respective hoines
all the soldiers in this department, for the
purpose of voting on Tuesday neat. This
is very kind in Mr. STANTON, -who is keep
ing an eye to the main chance, illastra ,
tire of his intense zeal for our success in
arms. some ill natured people, in fact,
want to know the use of a department
here at all, as if it wan any of their busi•
nese.
Vw NtA LA NATICISOii
One would imagine that the - -aplendid
evidences of devotion to their adopted
country given by the German and Irish
born people of' the United States since
the'rebelliad began, would have the effect
of dispelling the prejudices which existed
against them. Not so, however. On
Monday last the people of Rhode Island
voted on the following proposed amend
ment to the State Constitution :
r(s'dent c f this State, who have en
listed br Vnlunteered or w ) may enlist or voMn
teer in and of the regiments of this State, and
shall be honorably discharged therefrom, and
who are now cr may become naturalized citizens
of the United States, shall be admitted to vote at
elections is this State on the some terms as mi
tire born citizens of this State." ,
The vote shows that the amendment
has been rejected by a large majority, the
city of Providence giving a majority of
389 against it.
What renders this verdict of the people
of Rhode Island so odious, is the fact of
their being generally favorable to the ele
vation of the negro to the enjoyment of
dignities they refuse to white men. This
is the practical results of the teachings of
Abolitionism. What a crazy and incon•
sisteut fanaticism it is ?

It is customary for the collar press
whenever one of LINCOLN'S Cabinet of.

precious utterance, with one long•con
tinued bark of admiration. But the Poat

THE PEN.NS ILVANIA. ELECTION,
Tremendous efforts are being made here to aid
ho re-e:ectim cf dovernor CU.TIN in Pennsyl
vania. It is estimated that ton thousand vetets
will go from this city alone. Arrangements have
been made to defray all the raveling expenses
of these voter=, the matey having been collected
from the government employees. It has been
devi led not to send the soldiers home to vote, as
that movement might result in producing dissat
kfaction, and it is not absolutety certain how the
majority of them would vote.
The above is from a N:w York admin
istration sheet. Ten thousand voters
from Washington City may be considered
a very good joke, bat whatever number
of clerks there employed trom Penn
sylvania and Ohio, have been paid for a
ten days' visitation borne, is true. Their
pay goes on, public interests suffer and the
Treasury bleeds. Bat, who cares ? The
soldier vote is likely not to be so profit
able. With all their clerks and frauds
and greenbacks, the Democracy will elect
Woonwann by thirty thousand majority.
THE TRUTH AT LAsr
It was generally thought that it had
heeivestabliahed that the Washington an•
thor'lies were alone to blame for the de•
feat of nos EC RANB, bat Anti Slavery
Standard propunds another theory. It
- There is an attempt t, throw the blame of
this defile'. upon general BuitisarnE. Nobody
knows enough of the facts to pronounce an bad.
ligeut opinion on this point. But. should it ap
pear that he was behind hand in bringing up his
rees to the rescue—which we Shall be slow to
belies e, excepting on strong proof—wo think that
the real blame lin farther back yet. Whoever it
may be that ie rcspontrible for the dtlatoryfilliny ap
4 the t t, Ie d'Afrique in the ether country, we ap
prehend, unit have to bear the brunt of the blame,"
The soldiers of RosEcsANS should be
very much flattered by this and other
marks of esteem iii which they are held by
the Abolitionists. It is onlyga " Copper
head " who believes that white men can
be depended on to save the country.
THREATENING THE WORKMEN,
iV e have heard of quite a number of
cases where threats of discharge have been
made to workingmen in our mills and our
small navy yard, unless they voted the
Republican ticket. Whilst labor coin•
mands a premium we presume there will
not be the usual amount of hardship in
this respect. The hardfisted will not be
dictated to at this election, and our puffed
up greenback had better not try it on.

A Ridiculous Affair
A Baltimore correspondent of the New
York Post, records the following eventful
affair
A knot of cowardly traitors were ar
rested the other night in the act of drink•
ingthe following ftdatatins toast : "Damn
the goose that grew the quill that made
the pen that wrote the proclamation of
emancipation!" They were abcut to start
on their travels to Jeff. Davis' dominions
for this offence, when their wives and chi,
dren appeared on the scene. Provost
Marshal Fish moved by their entreaties,
released the offenders on their taking the
oath of allegiance.
It was a "cowardly" thing to denounce
that innocent goose ; was there no one
near to suggest to the drunken revelers
that perhaps the goose was hatched on
sacred soil, and knew not to what bast
uses his quills would be applied. 'lke
"cowardly traitors" should have iuvesti
gated the affair, and ascertained whether
that goose was or was not an Abolition
goose, and whether he did not die at the
moment that that quill was wrested from
him. How did these traitors know the
incalculable damage they were doing to
the memory of that goose if departed or
to his character if living.
1 But this is not all. How grateful the
country mast feel to the commanding
officer in Baltimore for his prompt inter
ference in behalf of his illustrious com
patriot "the goose that grew the quill r
fhese "cowardly" wretches were seized
while in the very act of drinking danana
tion to the goose, and for such a heinous
offence he mercifully sentenced them to
banishment and exile. Blird justice had
her sword stayed by the uplifted arm of
mercy. What a subject for a picture—
what a scene to portray in marble i But,
(and there is another but in the case,)
even that mild decree of offended justice
was not allowed to be executed. The
-memory of the dear departed patriotic
goose was not to he vindicated by the ex
ecution or exile of his traducers for one
Fish—a fish out of water—was baited by
a bevy of charming mothers and delicious
babes, all weeping and wailing. even as
Dido wept and wailed, and the Fish was
canjht. He thought how hard i. was to
separate a parental Fish from the partner
of his joys and the younglings of his
heart, and the Fish wept in concert I He
was not false to the memory of the goose,
for he could never tight that goose,
was he wanting in loyalty to his coup
try, for no man can say that any Fish
was ever disloyal, but beauty in tears and
loveliness in distress were all powerful with
him. How did he know how many of these
fair wives would die if their hushatide we-e
exiled; was he to assume tie respunsibiltiy
of all the consequences that might t apt en
undivorced widows and orphans with exiled
fathers. No Fish could be expected to do
such a thing ; mnreover, it the immortal
goose himself was there, he would not ask
the Fish to do such an act. Violently as
the goose'had been assailed, yet the fume of
"Uncle Sam's wet) vet" 'equind no such
sacrifice to render it immortal. 'lke web
feet" would go down to proeterity with all
tie honors, delipite the eacriligiotis toast
of the "cowardly traitors." And Fish -
not an odd fish, but a genuine fish, welt
his heart in the right place—with ore lin
wiped the eyes of the weeping wises, and
with - the other administered the oath of
alleglance to the defamers of !he illustrious
goose ! "Alt's well that ends well,'' but
this case is full of warning to "cowardly
traitors." Let them beware of hew they
speak of the goose.
It is reported that Provost Marshal
James the other day came near arresting a
tailor's aptirentice who bemire , his 111.
,gerr, s Lid hh d t e en e." 1w: a ra.;
tie aid not say the "goose hat grew ne
quill," &c., but being a copperhead there
was no aoubt as to the goose he was con
signing to eternal torment. Two men
dressed in jeans entered Seneca Wright's,
a day or two ago at dinner time, and one
of them asked for goose, and the other
said •`d— goose." He was evidently
copperhead, and the frequency of such ex
pletives, coupled with the name of goose,
makes it certain that there is a determined
purpose on the part of all the disloyal to
vent their spite against the emancipation
proclamation by cursing the goose. Hos
tility to a goose is evidence of unsoundness
on the "goose question," and hereafter no,
man will be tolerated in cursing or other
wise irreverently speaking of the goose.
We commend t) Col, J. K. C. Forrest at
Springfield, this case at Baltimore. Doubt
less he, with his unlimited sources of in
formation, can diecern whether this "dam
ning the goose" is note very general
thing throughout the copperhead regions
of this state, and we suggest that he will
not be true to the patriotic impulses of his
heart if he does not see that the 'coward
ly traitors" are brought to justice.
The Dead _on the Gettysburg
Battle Field
The arrangements are nearly completed
for the removal of the remains of the
Union soldiers scattered over the Gettys
burg battle field to the burial ground
which is being prepared by the several
States interested, for th sir reception and
proper burial. David Wills, earl., of
Gettysburg, who is the agent for the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, in a published
card, says:
"All the dead will be disinterred, and
the remains placed in codins and buried,
and the graves, where marked or known,
will be carefully and permanently ra•
marked in this soldiers' cemetery.
"If it is the intention of the friends of
any deceased soldier to take his remains
home for burial, they will confer a favor
by immediately making known to me that
intention, After the bodies are removed
to this cemetery, it will be very dsirable
not to disarrange the order of the graves
by any removals."
A Soldier's Letter
The following is an extract from a pri•
vote letter written by a soldier in the Army
of the Potomac to a gentleman in this
city. He is now in the hospital, at Har
risburg, suffering frc la a severe wound re
coieed at Frederick: burg. It any one
doubts the authenticity of the letter, he
can see it by calling at this office :
"You desire me to give my views about
the election of Governor. lam no Cnrtin

of Pennsylvania soldiers are, for the rea

of getting Administration papers in the

"Mr. Crittenden spent in this city

some act of like effect ::but it is not so gen
erally known that, prompted by his ab
sorbing solicitude on this subject, he had
resolved to address a private letter to the
President, urging him without delay to
take this step. Yet such is the fact, as it
is well known to a number of the friends
' of Mr. Crittenden, including the writer of
the article. In response to a very kihd
message from Mr. Crittenden, we called
upon him the evening before he left for
his home at Frankfort, when he intro

proclamation of amnesty, spoke of the
deep interest he felt in the adoption of
such a measure in this hour of our military

ment of the government in the hearts of

reported discussion of a proclamatisn of
amnesty in the Cabinet, and dwelt
with a mournful emphasis on the phisical
prostration which revented him from im•
mediately addressing the President con
cerning the subject. Re added, however,
that he was on the eve of returning to his
home, with the resolution to perform this
:ask aasoon as he would get a little
strength. Such were the leading ideas
expressed by the illustrious patriot during
the interview. On the following morning
he returned to his home, where, a few
days afterwards, in the complete posses

The Galway Line
The Hibernia, in her first trip, has not
realized the hopes of the friends of the
Galway line. On her outward voyage she
succeeded in reaching her destination
within a few hours of the contract time.
Put on her return she was twenty hours
late, and has incurred the heavy penalties
prescribed in the contract, her news
having been all anticipated by the Persia,
which started at the same time and won
the race. The passengers were seventy
in number, of which thirty were "stows
ways," who had gone nut from Galway in
the Adriatic on the Ist instant. They
were landed at St. John's, N. Y. on the
BLh, and detained there till the 11th, when
they were put on board the Hibernia,
and brought back to their native land,
having been well fed at the expense of the
Company "there and back. Another
contest is expected between the ScOtia,
of the Cunard line, which is to leave on
the 23d instant, and the Adriatic, which
ie to leave on the 22d. It is important for
the Galway line to establish a prestige for
fast sailing ; for if we do not receive
letters and newspapers by starting from
the nearest port to America the object for
which- the cubsidy was granted will not be
realized—European Times.

that our chief executive office has been

the time since the adoption of the Consti

noblest of German Governors. That peo
ple may well love Shank and honor his
memory, for he was an exponent—an em
bodied expression of the character of his
race—and they may look on this morn
meet as peculiarly theirs—as a memorial
of what they have done for Pennsylvania
—a concrete tribr te to the virtues, the
manly independence and the stern repub
licanism of Pennsylvania Germaus."
Address of Judge Woodward at the grave
of Gov. Skunk , July 4,1851.
Operations at Charleston.
The New York Post bas the following
news in relation to the siege of Charles—
ton, receivea by the steamer Fulton :
Wehave a report—apparently on good
authority—that the headquarters of Gen.
Gilmore have been removed from Morris
Island to Folly Island. The continual
sinking of the beach on Morris Island has
rendered the removal of the Federal
headquarters, the body of the troops and
the material, a measure of convenience,
while there are sanitary reasons which ,
would ultimately be controlling. There
are said to be other causes for the change,
among them this, that the troops will be
not less availing in the future operations
against Charleston, and they are entirely
out of range of any batteries the rebels
have,
or can erect, on James Island.
The recent firing from Gen. Gilmore's
batteries, of which we have received news
from rebel sources, was directed almost
exclusively against the efforts that were
making, and Which the rebels do not dis
crone, to en. ct new batteries in the ruins of
Fort Suinte:i, It appears that our recon
noitering bouts, which passed near the
welkin the night, discovered that the gar-
Neon was conducting extensive operations.
and the indications that the rebels, who
were working in large numbers, would
erect fire-proof batteries inside the reins,
with tue intention of using them when the
works should be sufficiently advauced to
justify the removal of the broken walls
and debris which protect , d the workmen
and coucenled their operations from view.
The rapid and heavy firing of our guns
;I expected not only to stop this work,
but to render the reb:l occupation .of
Sumter, precarious, it uut impossible.
General Gilmore's operations on ,vlor
ris Island lir, acti‘-ely prosecuted. The
battery on Cummings' Point now shields
our troops perfectly, while the condition
of Wagner is such as to protect the troops
from all hazard. Still there are few cas•
unities, all of which occur in c3nsequeuee
of unnecessary exposure.
Tee batteries which arc designed to
throw the Greek tire are now nearly com•
plete, and recent experiments have shown
that the fire may be safely and effectually
used. Charleston is within fair range of
the guns already placed, and which are
in such numbers as to insure the destine--
bon of the city when they are turned upon
it. This event will not take place until
other plans are cow plate and the navy is
ready to co operate with the army,
