CLEARFIELD, PA., MAY 22, 1861.
By Thy Words Thou Shalt ho Condemned.
' The editors of the Clearfietd Republican, in
their issue of May 8th, endeavored to convict
us of Treason, and volunteered to "swear point
blank" that our assertion waa not true. In
their last issue they, however, shift position,
and instead of Treason, try to convict us of
'Misprison of Treason." Oar offence con
sists in publishing a ues item, in which it is
said,' "It is reported, that quite a number of
strong sympathisers with the Southern traitors
are still in our midst." And again, "Traitors
there are in our land." How, the wonderful
ly comprehensive, and acute and penetrating
minds of the editors of the Republican, have
enabled them to construe the words "in our
Midst" and "in onr land," to mean, "our
town" Clearfield Borough and by a leap of
Imagination we are guilty of "communicating
information to them," i. e. the enemies of
ourtountry.
But; "how stands our neighbor with regard
to this law ? To believe his paper, our town
is full of 'traitors.' " In their last issue we
find the following :
"An attempt, or plot, is undoubtedly on foot now,
among parties who arc striving to incite the negro
race in our midst to acts of disloyalty."
"Undoubtedly," say these editors. There
is no "shifting of responsibility," there ; they
shoulder" it square. "The meaning of this
language admits of no dispute !" Then, ac
cording to your own logic, are yon not "com
municating information to them," (the ene
mies) and putting those enemies on their
guard 7 Have you "disclosed or made known"
the parties who are "woir" engaged in this
"plot," or are you concealing "something
that ought to be revealed 7" ' "Give us their
names." "It is due to this community that
you should do so without delay." Or in the
language of the Clearfield Republican, you
must either be an accomplice, or else stand
before your fellow citizens as self-convicted
falsifiers and slanderers," and "liable to pros
ecution at any time."
We will not follow the editors of the Repub
lican any further nor by fallacious reasoning
endeavor to fasten treason on them. Is'or will
we reply to any more articles such as they
have published of late. The game is not
worth the powder, and we feel that our rea
ders would prefer ns furnishing them news or
articles of importance. Should they, howev
er, want twaddle we will recommend them to
subscribe to another paper.

The Republican advises to avoid all excite
ments, discussions and controversies, on the
one band ; on the other, it pitches into "narrow-minded
bigots" -'defunct Americanism.'
' Thug, it throws bet balls into the enemies

jewel, indeed !
Pecclatioss. Some of the Democratic pa
pers of Pennsylvania are publishing, what tiiuy
gay are great peculations in the management
of our military affairs. Have they forgotten
the speculations of the Utah War the Mule,
the live oak timber, the coal, and other pecula
tions under the late Buchanan rule 7 Have
they ever mentioned the Floyd robberie8 of
our National Treasury, and the Fowler and
other Post Office swindles ! Why don't they
leave their readers know something of these
peculations 7
- Ought to br remedied. W e see it stated,
f.hat some of the soldiers at Camp Curtin, and
pf other camps, are complaining that they are
not as well cared for, as they should be. If
jthis be th ase, we hope, that the defects will
be speedily remedied ; and that our gallant
soldiers will be supplied with everything ne
pessary for their comfort.

IIarkisbcrg, Mat 20, 1861.
Editor Journal : There is a decided dim
inution in the war excitement in this place.'
It is true that little else is thought of, and
little else to attend to, but the "wire edge" is
worked off, and matters are assuming a more
settled shape. ' There are now in Camp Curtin
from 1600 to 2000 men. Among these are the
companies from Clearfield county Capt. Lo
raine's "Washington Cadets," and Capt. E. A.
Irvin's "Raftsmen Rangers." I understand a
report is in circulation in your town to the ef
fect that the first named company has been re
jected. This is a mistake. Through the inde
fatigable efforts of Gen. Patton, our member
of Congress, both the Clearfield Companies
will be assigned a place in the next regiment
that is formed. He is also using his Influence
to have the company of Capt.Z. C. McCullough
accepted, but 1 fear it will not be taken unless
another requisition is made as the fifteen reg
iments are more than full already.
It is a source of gratification to know that
the "wild-cat" district is so largely represented
in the volunteer force. Eleven companies, I
am informed, hnve already been accepted and
are in the service, and 16 additional compan
ies have tendered and are ready to be muster
ed in. Many of these men have undergone
great hardships in order to get here some of
them having to walk from 30 to 80 miles to
get "out of tha woods," laterally speaking,
and then on raits, formed of boards, decended
the Susquehanna to "Rattlesnake," on the
Sanbury & Erie Railroad, where they took
the cars for Uarrisburg.
The Clearfield "boys as far as I can see and
learn, with perhaps an exception or two are in
good spirits and health, and enjoy camp life
well. It appears to me, however, that the
volunteers could generally be made more
comfortable in their quarters, and should' be
supplied with better blankets than those fur
nished them. - Maj. Gen. McCail, to whom the
whole matter has been entrusted under the
Fifteen Regiment Bill, is making preperations
for the establishment of camps, and as soon as
they are completed, accepted companies will
receive marching orders, and doubtless better
care will then be taken of those who enter the
service uuder the new law.
By the appoitionment of the 15 regiments,
two companies are to be taken from Clearfield,
Elk and Forest counties, two from Clarion and
Jefferson, one from Venango, and two from
Warren. This is understood to embrace those
already accepted or in camp, from the conn
ties named. Each company is to consist of
77men. - All the companies must forward
their 'applications within five days, unless al
ready accepted. The State is to pay no ex
penses until marching orders are received by
the companies. No election of regimental
officers will be permitted until further orders.
The companies are distributed aecording to
the number of troops already in the field from
each county, and also in proportion to the pop
ulation, except a discrimination against the ru
ral districts, in order that sufficient producers
shall be left at home for harvest purposes.
The Government is doubtless making prepa
rations for a vigorous and protracted campaign.
The disposition of forces would seem to indi
cate that a line is being formed, extending
from Fortress Monroe In Virginia, to St. Louis,
Missouri, and thence through Arkansas into
Texas. Thus hemmed in from the land side,
with their ports closely blockaded, the Rebel
States will in a short time have starvation and
distress prevailing throughout their borders,
and sooner or later will have to succumb. In
the meantime they arc concentrating their
forces in Virginia, where it is believed they
now have from 40,000 to 50,000 men. What the
plans and objects of the rebel leaders are, is a
matter of conjecture. Some suppose an in
road Into Pennsylvania and an attack on
Washington city are to be simultaneously
made. I think differently. If I miata&e not,
the rebels will soon have enough to do in the
way of defending themselves, without engag
ing in such a hazardous undertaking as that
mentioned.
It is now generally believed in military cir
cles that Gen. Beauregard has died from
wounds received at the bombardment of Fort
Sumter. It is almost reduced to a certainty
also that over 200 of the Secessionists in Foit
Moultrie were killed at that time by Maj. An
derson's guns. It at least seems strange that
Wigfall, as has been repeatedly stated, should
go to Sumter, in the midst of the fight, and
plead "for God's sake, cant this be stopped,"
if nobody in Moultrie had been hurt.
The statement that John C. Breckinridge
will accept a position under Maj. Anderson, is
contradicted. It is also stated that he is no
Unionist. Time will tell the story.
It is rumored that Thomas L. Kane, a
brother of the celebrated Dr. E. K. Kane, is
to be Colonel of one of the Regiments per
haps the "wild cat." He is a talented and
clever gentleman, and his appointment would
bo ajgood one in all respects. Yours, R.

We make no comments on the above ; but,
will leave the intelligent reader draw his own
conclusions therefrom. ' '

SUMMARY CF NEWS.
Gen. Scott is about to remodel the United
States army upon the French system, so as to
give it more efficiency and perfection. The
old hro works with astonishing real, and his
mind operates as actively as many a man at
fifty-five. It is undoubtedly that he contem
plates a long campaign, that Washington is to
be the base of operations, that a large force
will be kept permanently stationed there, and
that all demonstrations iu support of the loyal
men of the South, and in furtherance of the
determination to retake stolen'public proper
ty, will move from that point.
The most significant offer yet made to our
Government is that just received from Scot
land. Certain prominent Scotch merchants,
doing business in this country, are responsi
ble tor a tender of ten regiments of unequip
ped, but well-built, hardy, active men, who
are not earning $11 per month above their
living, and who are ready and willing to enter
the service of the United States tor the war,
b it long or short, on condition that, at the
expiration of the war, Government will grant
tbem each a bounty of land.
It is not at all surprising that the President
and members of the Cabinet should feel grati
fied at the confidence manifested in them by
the people. Ikd Mr. Lincoln been an abso
lute monarch, whose command of the muster
ing of 100,000 men was issued, he could not
have been more instantly and with alacrity
obeyed than be has now been, when, as the
chosen President, he requests histellow coun
trymen to aid him in the maintenance oi his
position.
The Montgomery " Advertiser" of the 7th
inst says that Mrs. Todd, of Kentucky, the
mother-in-law of Lincoln passed through that
city, en route for Salem. She was accompa
nied by one ol her daughters. It is said that
she very decidly refused to accept the prof
fered hospitality of the " White House" at
Washington, not admiring the tenets of the
political faith of the hybrid "head of the fam
iles." Her sympathies are with the South."
The secession forces in and around Harper's
Ferry, are said to be At Harper's Ferry two
thousand men; at Halistown twenty-five hun
dred ; at Point of Rocks eight hundred. The
latter are entirely composed ol Marylanders
the rabble that left Baltimore and its vicini
ty. The force at Harper's Ferry is poorly e
quipped and not fully armed ; but it has nine
howitzers and eight thirty-two pounders.
Evidence that cannot be contradicted, is
proving to the administration, that treasona
ble operations are going on among the citi
zens of Baltimore. The government will with
out doubt be compelled to take decisive meas
ures to execute its authority, in that city.
Treason must be baffled, the Union men must
be sustained, and Baltimore must be kept loy
al to the government.
Wm. P. Thomasson, of Kentucky, formerly
member of Congress from Louisville, and a
strong Union man, had a long interview with
the President. He wants permission to raise
a brigade in Kentucky, which shall not be
called beyond her borders; yet which will see
that no Southern troops march, unmolested,
through that State, bound North.
The Maysville "Eagle" says that men went
to the polls there and gave a vote for their
country who had taken no interest in parties
and politics lor more than twenty years. One
gentleman remarked that there was not ao
great a unanimity for even the Christian re
ligion as for the Union.

home ic petticoats.
It is reported that two culverts on the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, near Harper's Fer
ry, have been blown up and the rails removed,
by the secessionists, to prevent United States
troops from being sent to that place. They
anticipate an attack.
The Springfield (Mass-) Republican says
that the rifled cannon, which have lately been
sent to the Providence Marines, were made to
the order of the State of Alabama, last Octo
ber, but were not delivered, because the State
Seceded.
A despatch from Charleston to the Savannah
Republican says: Wagner's improved rifle
cannon has been tested and found to throw a
shell seven miles. Preparations are on foot
to compliment the Niagara with a few."
A number of secessionists, arrived at Wheel

ted to Major General and is ordered to report
himself at Washington.
News from the South. Two gentleman,
connected with telegraph lines in the South,
arrived here to-night, having been furnished
wifh passes by Gov. Pickens. They confirm
all the reports relative to military preparations
in Virginia and North Carolina. In South
Carolina it was comparatively quiet. General
Beauregard was there last week. He had not
been to Richmond, and to Montgomery ouly
for a short time. The prevailing sentiment is
that an attack must and will be made on Wash
ington. Davis, it was believed, would take
the field on the border when its military prepa
rations were completed. All the confederate
forces in Virginia are now under the command
of Gen. Lee, by order of Jeff Davis. Gov.,!
Letcher has issued an order prohibiting tbaf
military authorities in that State from giving
passes to persons desiring to leave the State.
Governor Letcher has also issued orders pro
hibiting flour, bacon, grain and beef, or pro
visions of any kind from being transported
beyond the. limits of Virginia.
STATE EIGHTS.
The mostmischievousdoctrineof the present
day is the famous t.alhoun theory o State
Rights.. It has misled more Southern men
fiomtheflagof the country, and induced more
resignations among army and navy officers
hailing from the slave States, than all the
preaching of all the orators on the wrotig side
of the question. The unanimity of the twenty
loyal States in supporting the Government is
a prond assurance that this preverled idea of
the doctrine of State Rights has effectually
perished, at least so far as they are concerned.
Until South Carolina can establish her sense
of the alleged injuries received by the South
at the hands of the majority of the American
people, into an invasion of what is flippantly
called State Rights, there is not a Northern
statesman who will not disregard ber counsels
and laugh at ber example. Our understanding
of State Rights is a far different one. When
the General Government ceases to protect the
interests of all the States, and discriminates in
favor of one to the exclusion of another mem
ber ol the Confederacy, then it is well to fall
back upon our reserved franchises, and to as
sert our independence at every hazard. But
no snch complaint can justly be made by the
South. As Judge Douglas said in bis splendid
speech at Chicago, on the first of May, "there
has not been a day, from the time when George
Washington was inaugurated as the first Presi
dent of the United States down to this moment,
when the rights of the Southern States stood
firmer under the laws of the land than they do
to-day." And yet we see officers of the army
and the navy, and other branches of the public
service, throwing up their commissions, and
taking arms against a Government they were
sworn to support, because South Carolina, and
a few other Commonwealths, insist upon.asser
ting that the South has been interfered with
by the North ! When a citizen takes an oath
to support the Constitution, he acknowledges
his allegiance to the whole country, and the
Government thereof ; and whether he takes
this oath in Virginia or in Maine ; whether he
takes it as a representative of the people, or
as a public servant in an executive or admin
istrative capacity; or as an adopted citizen, his
first obligation is to the entire Government,
to the laws made by Congress. All other
pledges and oaths are inferior and 6ulordinatc.
When General Scott was appealed to by the
Secessionists to add bis brilliant reputation to
their dark conspiracy, his answer was, "1 am a
citizen of the United States, I owe every ob
ligation to the United States, and I will con
tend for the United States against any single
member of the Union taking up arms against
the General Government, even if that member
should be Virginia herself." We commend
this frank and explicit construction of State
Rights to those who have been misled by the
Calhoun South Carolina reading of it.
Maryland and Kentucky. The severest
repulse that the traitors have met with is the
loss of Maryland and Kentucky. In Mary
land the Union sentiment is every wherein
the ascendant. Several of the ruffians who
attacked the troops in Baltimore have been
arrested, and all that can get away are making
for 'the. South. Two men were arrested at
Frederick for cheering Jeff. Davis. The
Union demonstration at that city was a grand
affair. Hon. Reverdy Johnson delivered a
powerful speech, the tenor of which can be
understood from this short extract : The first
gun fired at a noble and starving garrison was
a blow at the Nation's heart, and a united north
bad sprung to arms in vindication of the Flag,
and for the maintenance of the Government.
Heaven forbid the duty of that vindication
should be forgotton by Maryland. Temporary
causes may bave cast doubt over her loyalty,
but every true man of Maryland is devoted in
attachment to tke national emblems, and will
unite in the sentiment of the chorus of the
national anthem."
The people of Kentucky have just had an
opportunity to declare their sentiments by a
vote. Seeing that ail hope of success was
gone, the Secessionists withdrew their tickets
in every county, hoping thereby to prevent an
expression of sentiment, supposing that if
there was no opposition, there would be but a
light vote out; but in" this they were greatly
mistaken. The vote was the heaviest ever
polled, except that at the. last Presidential
election, and all for the Union. In Louisville
the vote was nearly eight thousand, being al
most equal to the aggregate vote at the Presi
dential election. Returns from the interior
show a similar result. Probably seven eights
ot the voters of the State voted at the recent
election for the Union ticket. This is, of
course, unconditional Unionism. The fact
that Major Anderson has been placed in com
mand oflhe Kentucky Volunteers, will tell
with mighty effect upon the loyalty of that
Stateg, The Kentuckians are justly proud of
the hero of Fort Sumter.
The Great Mistake or Disukioxisx The
Cincinnati Times says: The Charleston Mer
cury is mourning over the "Northern friends"
which were promised to the cause of Secession
by those unprincipled journals in the Free
States whose columns teemed with encourage
ment to the Disunionists of the South. And
here was the great mistake of those who array
ed themselves against their country and its
laws. They had been told that every Demo
crat and every American would espouse the
cause of the Seceding States, and allow them
to go peaceably out of the Union. The Mer
cury asks : "Where are Messrs, Fillmore, Ev
erett, Butler, Winthrop, Cusbing, and Hallet,
of Boston ; Van Buren, Cochran, McKeon,
Weed, Dix, and Barnard, of New York ; In
gersoll, Wilkins, Binney, Black, Biglcr, and
ex-President Buchanan, of Pennsylvania;
Douglas el id omne genus Democrats and
Whigs of all stripes, hues and conditions
where arc they in the bloody crusade proposed
by President Lincoln against the South 7 Un
heard of in their dignified retirement I or
hounding on the fanatic warfare, or themselves
joining "the noble army of martyrs for liber
ty" marching on the South." The contest
against Mr. Lincoln's election, and a war a
gainst the General Government, are two very
different things in the Northern view. The
North can divide on minor political issues,
but when the Union is assailed, it is a unit,
and presents an impassable barrier to rebellion
whatever shape or form it may assume.
Brigadier-General Mansfield, issued an or
der, as follows : "I ordered, by telegraph, the
agents of the Adams Express at New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, that in future no
express matter, inclusive of letters, will be
permitted to go south of this city in Virginia.
Col. Stone seized, by my order, the express
matter, and stopped all contraband goods,
and allowed the balance to go forward."
Ex-Governor A. fl. Reeder, of Pennsylva
nia, well known in connection with ihe early
history of Kansas, was appointed a brigadier
general by the President.
James Ross Snowden, Esq., who has long
been director of the U. S. Mint at Philadel
phia has been appointed Prothonotary of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in the room
of Robert Tyler, oi of ex-President Tyler,
whose secession proclivities render him una
ble to bear the heat of the northern climate
any longer. . Mr. Snowden, on retiring, was
presented by the workmen and others in the
mint, with a handsome service of silver, as a
testimonial of their esteem for & good officer
and a kind and generous friend.
Frok New Orleans. A gentleman who
left New Orleans on the 7th inst., reports that
great alarm and anxiety prevail there, not
only with regard to the vast preparations and
the enormous power which the Federal Gov
ernment is putting forth to crush the rebellion,
but also with regard to the negroes. The ter
roron this latter subject is greater even than
on the former. Seven hundred men -are in
arms every night to guard the city against an
outbreak. On Sunday night, the 6th inst.,
eleven steamboats and other vessels were
burned at the levee; their value is set down
by the New Orleans papers at $100,000, but
according to our informant It was really $250,
000. The most .interesting feature of this e
vent is altogether ignored by our New Orleans
contemporaries, though thero was nobody in
the city who felt any doubt on the subject.
This is, that the incendiary who caused this
conflagration was a slaxe.
A New Development. It is reported that
the drawings of a machine for making musket
balls, in use in the Watervleit Arsenal, New
York, were some time since handed over to
an experienced workman in Troy, to enable
him to make a similar machine on an order of
an individual In New Yirk.- IToon IrMniTV d
Maj. Mordecai, lie justified his own cobdnct
in the matter by saying that he delivered the
model and drawings upon the order of the
Secretary of War, Mr. Floyd. The mechanic
was at once arrested and the machine seized.
It has since been completed and is now in pos
session of the Government. - There-are but
two of the machines in the United States, and
they are capable of producing forty thousand
musket balls each, every twenty-four hours. :
