BV SAMUEL J. ROW.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JUNE 12, 1861.
NOT MISTAKES, BUT FACTS.
History informs us, that eighty odd years
ago, a band of intelligent men established
a government under a Constitution the like
of which was unknown. It was an admirable
"machine" did its work well, and answer
ed the very purpose for which it was design,
ed. In tho courso of time, however, some
avaricious persons commenced running this
"machine" for selfish purposes alone.
This was especially the case during the
four yonrs of Mr. Buchanan's administra
tion; who went into office with some twenty
millions of dollars in the Treasury ; but, in a
few years the Treasury was empty, and the
country about 70 or 80 millions in debt. The
stealing of $6,000,000 of Indian Bonds the
breaking open of tho Kev Orleans mint the
pilfering of our subtreasuries the robbing of
our arstnala tho taking of forts and ships
besidosthe Fow ler,. and numerous other swin
dles followed in the train ; and by which, the
government was swindled out of many millions
of dollars." Thus, these cormorants preyed
upon the very vitals of the country until they
brought it to tho verge of ruin ; and then,
they inaugurated treason to break up the gov
ernment, for the purpose of hiding their per
fidy. These rascalities being brought to the no
tice oTthe people, they at once determined to
make a change and remedy the evils. Accor
dingly, they elected a new "Engineer" to run
the "machine who proceeded to turn these
thieves and rebels out of the positions they
Lad so long held in the governmecl.
The lait Clearfield Republican, under the head
of "Great Mistakes," says of this "Engineer'":
"He found the "machine" running without
soldiers, the revenues undiminished, aud at
least hope everywhere prevailing that a state
of prosperity would soon bo restored to the
country. It now takes 'J5Q 000 soldiers to run
the "machine," the revenues down to noth
ing, and all kinds of business prostrated, and
unrelieved by tho faintest hope."
Bat, what intelligent man, with the facts we
have stated before him, can wonder "that the
revenues are nothing"! "That all kinds of
business is prostrated, unrelieved by the faint
est hope"? Is it any wonder that tho new
"Engineer" requires "2G0,000 soldiers to run
the machine" when a portion of the country
is over run with traitors? This new "engin
eer," however, does understand his business.
Tie will again right the old "Ship of State,"
and the "Star Spangled Banner" will contin
ue to wave over the whole Union for the "ar
ticle" is popular. But, the reader seems star
tled. He need not bo alarmed, however.
. There is "nothing wiong" and "nobody hurt."
It was only the crack of the Republican!
"pop-gun," or the flash of an old flint-lock.
And, if perchance, you should bear the sharp
click aud rapid report of a "six-shooter;" re
member that it is only another shootiug iron
discharged, by the Republican, at the head of
tho newTEngineer"; notwith the object of
"totally demolishing" him, but merely for
the purpose of kcepirg up a little firo in rear,
which they intend for home consumption.
But, we are not in the least fastidious about
the manner in which persons express them
selves for or against the present National
Administration; however, does it not seem
strange that tho editors of tho Clearfield Re
publican, while professing to be sound TJuion
men and immaculate patriots, should seek to
east odium upon the President and his Cabi
net ; that they should refer sneeringly to the
army of "20,000 soldiers" who have left their
firesides and their families to defend the Gov
ernment against traitors ; and that they should
speak disparagingly of an Administration
which is. only seeking to uphold the Constitu
tion, preserve tho Union, and crush out trea
son. Men, who, under such circumstances,
cannot lay aside party prejudice and refrain
from applying such appellations as "Engineer'
and "Falso Prophets" to tho President, mem
bars of bis Cabinet, aud a distinguished Sen
ator whose dsath they announced in the same
sheet, deserve less the contempt than the
pity of mankind.
Is A Tight Place. James E. Harvey, the
new minister to Portugal, it is reported, has
became implicated by an examination of the
telegraph dispatch seizures, as an accessory
to the treason at tho south.. If this is coirect
we may indeed doubt our truest friends, as
Mr. Harvey was admitted to tho councils and
the coufidence of the nio&t loyal men in the
country. It is rumored that he is iiumedi
ately to be recalled but where he will seek a
home, his conscience and his guilt must de
cide. Mr. Harvey was formerly the popular
Washington correspondent of the Northerner
lean, writing over the signature, Independent.
The National Intelligencer says that two
hundred sisters of charity are ready to enlist in
the causa cf the sick and the wounded ot the
army, at any moment the government may
signify to them a desire to avail themselves of
their services, to Jake charge or hospitals, am
bulances lor conveving the sick and wounded,
or any post far or near, where the cause of
humanity cn be served.
' A Reucctios. The Railroad companies of
rennsyivania nave determined to roase an a
batement of thirty per cent, on the transporta
tion of munitions of war. It was also arrang
ed that the abatement should bo made on all
the bills for transportation of troops and war
t uppUes since the breaking out of the war.

tits State Cohthacts. We have been
pleased to learn that Gov. Curtin has resolved
that an investigation shall be made of the re
cent alleged frauds in tho contracts : for fur
nishing tLc Pennsylvania Volunteers with
tlothiug, etc. an investigation that will leave
bo facts hidden, But expose to the full gaze
of the public the whole transaction in its true
light. He has appointed a commission, com
posed of gentlemen whose names give assu
rance of the stern integrity with which they
will discharge the duty that has been confided
to them. They are Benj. Haywood of Potts
ville, an extensive iron manufacturer, a man
of great sagacity and high character; Jacob
Fry of Montgomery, a democrat, who was Au
ditor General of Pennsylvania during Gov.
Bigler's administration, and who distinguish
ed himself in that capacity by the strict vigi
lance with which he guarded the State Treas
ury, and thus earned the hatred of the corrup
tionistsof his own party; Charles F. Abbott
of Philadelphia, a gentleman of position and
ability, who has maintained an unspotted rep
utation in the midst of suspected legislators ;
and Evans Rogers and Caleb Cope, who are
well known as eminent and patriotic citizens
of Philadelphia, that need no special mention.
The imputations which have been so freely
made in regard to these contracts, rendered a
movement of this sort necessary, and we are
glad that Gov. Curtin has determined to have
the matter thoroughly investigated, and that
ifthero lias been fraud, the guilty shall be
brought to punishment. Much has been said
about the Governor's complicity in these
transactions; but his present action in the
matter, and especially the selection of such
men as he has chosen to conduct the exami
nation, we presume, will furnish the best an
swer that can be given to the imputations made.
Why are TnEitEjJo Travelers Going South ?
The exodus from the south to the north is
unprecedented. The wealthy aie flying, leav
ing their property behind. The old are tot
tering from the homes of their childhood.
The beautiful are hurrying in terror from their
haunts of pleasure. The yonrg are sent away
for safety and protection. Husbands fly with
their wives, fathers with their families, moth
ers, pressing their babes to their bosoms, with
prayers to God on their lips for guidance and
protection, fly from the sunny south, hasten
from its hospitable homes, give up its genial
climate, for the rude and barbarous homes and
haunts of the frozen north. Why is this so I
Why are there no travelers going south I Be
cause the south is fast becoming the theatre
of crime, lust, law lessness and death ; where
the right of property is no longer recognized
where defeucelessness invites to. outrage
where virtue depends upon the hazard of a die
where beauty is made subservient to brutal
lust where order and security and peace are
in the hands ot a mob maddened to fury by
falsehood and whisky, and led on to vandalism
and deeds of blood, by the uiost desperate and
ambitious traitors and demagogues. The south
is no longer a safe home for women aud chil
dren. It affords no longer a reluge for the old
and defenceless. It has become the abode of
traitors, the borne of usurpers, and the great
source of rapine, robbery aud rebellion. Its
social order has been changed to anarch) . Its
refinements have become pestilential. Its re
ligion, a mockery of justice. Its faith, the
assassin! blade. And its destiny, of a high-renown
while in tho company of loyal and pros
perous commonwealths, has been changed to
one of ignominy and disgrace. And all this
has been dorm by traitors, in the name of the
sacred principles of freedom !
The West and the War. A great work
rests on the West and Northwest in this war,
and we are glad to find evidence that it is ap
preciated. From the fertile prairies of Illinois
and Iowa must come, for this year, a goodly
portion of the food of the nation corn, wheat,
pork, beef, the staples we look to the farmers
and graziers of tho West to furnish in greater
proportions than in former years. The eas
tern states may supply their own home de
mand. But the rich West will feed the armies
of the Union. It can do so; and far-sighted
people in those states already see that from
this uew demand upon their energies they will
reap groat and lasting benefits. They will see
new settlers flocking into their limits to occu
py and till their virgin soil. They will see
the erea of cultivated lands iu several of those
states nearly doubled by this war. They will
see tho tide of immigration, now temporarily
checked, again revived ; and agriculturists
from the East and from Europe populating
what are now their waste lanrls. With our
war, and with probable wars in Euroje, the
grain fields of the Northwest and tho praries
of Illinois and Indiana have a bright prospect
before them. They will not only feed our
own Union armies they will feed the armies
of Europe ; and with such prospects it is not
too much to expect that the next census will
place these states not long ago an unknown
wilderness in tho front rank of the Union for
population, wealth and intelligence.
Vibgima. Most of the inhabitants are get
ting away from tho vicinity of Norfolk and
from Hampton as fast as it is practicable. Tho
value of negroes there is now rendered but
nominal, and Cuffeo is moving off also with an
alacrity which is surpassed only by the loco
motion of Massa, though in a diSercnt direc
tion. Fugitives still flee to the fort. Gen.
Butler has now about 115 negroes, not 350 as
reported, employed in and ahout the fortress.
Many families have departed in the direction
of York. One man, a Mr. Jones, had twenty
slaves, all but one of whom left him, and
sought refuge in the fort, This last chattel
was devoted affectionately to old massa, and
declared he loved him. "I'll nebbcr leabyer,
massa uebber!" swore this chattel, a very
promising sable, "I'll stick to my old massa
as long as I lib !" and master and man left to
gether for the interior. Next morning, when
massa rose to proceed on his journey, his de
voted property had decamped lor the North,
taking with him massa's horse, and neither
Cuffee nor horse have since been heard from.
Gov. Andrew to Gen. Walridge. Gov.
Andrew has tho faculty of sayiDg what he
would say , not only well, but seasonably
which always makes the best thing in the
world still better. The follow ing is an extract
of a letter which he has written to Gen. Wal
ridge pressing that gentleman to urge the Gen
eral Government to a vigorous prosecution
of the war, by calling out additional forces:
"There is a perfect unanimity of sentiment in
Massachusetts. Party names and party creeds
are utterly ignored and forgotten. Tho pres
ervation of the Union, tho support of the Gov
ernment and the emphatic punishment and
solemn extinction of traitors, are the Catholic
religion of us all a. religion of mercy. We
have always been impressed with the wisdom
of Washinotox, who, when advised that five
thousand men would suffice to quell Shay's
Rebellion, replied : "Then I will Bend After n
thousand met. There can bono misiak3 1
boat that." "
GEN. HARNEY MISSOURI IN DANGER.
A few days ago tho intelligence was given
to the public that Gen. Harney had been re
moved trom his command of the Union for
ces in Missouri, and that Brigadier General
Lyon the same who, as Capt. Lyons, captur
ed Gov. Jackson's State troops in St. Louis
had been appointed in his place. The vigor
with which Gen. Harney commenced his op
erations in Missouri, and, as was supposed,
put down secession and treason, won for him
warm encomiums throughout the loyal States;
but is now believed that he was only playing
a deep and treacherous game. After acting
so as to win the confidence of the Uniou men,
he entered into an arrangement with Gov.
Jackson under which the latter agreed to dis
band the State troops, and thus throw the
triends of the Union off their guard. In the
early part of his operations he had stationed
troops around tho city of St. Louis to guard
the entrances, and stop all trains and boats
coming or going. These guards captured
much ammunition, and many arms intended
for the State troops. But he afterwards or
dered that they should be withdrawn, so that
the Secessionists could import as many arms
as they pleased. Gov. Jackson keeps tho se
cession flag flying in front ot his house. A
correspondent wof the New York Times says:
"To the troops assembled in Jefferson City
some thiee thousand who grumble when
they were ordered to go homo, entelligence
was privately conveyed, that they would soon
be recalled, that the present dispersion was
only a sham, that GeD. Harney was all right,
and that they would soon have their revenge
on the d d Dutch of St. Louis. Sterling
Price said as much publicly in a speech to
some of the the troops. All the troops, on
leaving Jefferson City, took their arms with
them, and from reliable reports, it has become
certain that they did not return home, but as
sembled at other places in the interior. A
large force is said to bo congregated at Lex
ington. In the mean time, arras are purchas
ed by Jackson's tools, wherever they can be
found, and will undoubtedly arrive in large
numbers now, since boats aud trains are no
langer subjected to the vigilance of the United
States ollicers, so generously abandoned by
Gen. Harney. Indeed, the report comes this
morning from Jefferson City, that a Commis
sioner had been therefrom Jell. Davis with
propositions to furnish Jackson arms and men
for tho purpose of carrying Missouri out of
the Union."
If this be so, the removal of narncy was a
proper aud well-timed act on the part of the
Government. Tho appointment of a man of
his antecedents to tint important position
excited much snprise and some misgivings;
but his first few acts restored confidence, and
led many to remark that he was the very man
for tho place. Events however, have shown
that the man who played so heartily into the
hands of the Border KuffiaDs of Kansas is not
tho man to be entrusted with the task of res
cuing a State from the clutches of traitors.
Contraband Negroes. Dr. Livingston
gives a glowing description of a region which
he explored iu the interior of South Africa,
where cotton grows spontaneously and to great
perfection. The inhabitants arc greatly su
perior to those near the coast, whence slaves
have been obtained for over two centuries.
In the interior region ol which we are speak
ing slavery is unknown. What an impulse
would the introduction of some thousands of
American negroes, speaking the English lan
guage, and familiar with the cultivation of the
cotton plant, give to such a country as that,
under the lead of intelligent white and color
ed men I. It is the very country to suit them,
and they are the very men that that country
needs. A colony of colored people from
America, with schools and churches, would
soon rise to be the centre of Christian civili
zation in that quarter of tho globe, and in a
short time lead to important motal and com
mercial results. None of the objections that
can be urged against Liberia apply to that re
gion. It is healthy, salubrious, fertile, and
the natives are of a higher order by far than
those found contiguous to the Liberian colo
ny. Great Britain would unite heartily in the
enterprise of transporting '-cotton planters"
from America to Southern Africa, and would
construct railroads from the coast to their
country. Here is one way of disposing of our
voluntary "captives taken in war," the num
ber of whom piomises to be enormous, and
whose future prospects in this country are not
very encouraging. Here, by an inexorablf
law of social life, they are an inferior caste,
though nominally free. There they would be
a sort of aristocracy. The ability to speak
the English language, and still more to read
and write it, would give them a position above
that of the natives ; and were they to go in
large numbers, that language would in time
supercede the native dialects, and bear into
that pagan population all the blessings of sci
ence, and, w hat is better still, of the Christian
religion.
A Protest Against Itinerancy. Tho Au
gusta (Ga.) Chronicle is very indignant over
the removal ol the Rebel Seat of Government
from Montgomery to Richmond. It wickedly
likens Mr. Davis to a showman going about
from town to town with his Portable Govern
ment, and exhibiting his paraphanalia after
the manner of Dan. Rice. Hear it ;
"No question of health and pleasure, no i
dea, of influencing favorably the remaining
Border States, no notion of offering banter to
Lincoln setting up an opposition shop, within a
hundred and thirty miles of Washington, no
far-fetched ideas of the necessity of having
the Government in the midst of the war, tho
civil authority in juxtaposition with the army,
no thought of attempting to conciliate and
win over the Free States ot the Northwest and
the centre, should have influenced Congress
to exibit this specimen of a Government with
out a local habitation."
Wo agree entirely with the Chronicle that
the Rebel head quarters ought to bo fixed.
This running opposition to the Menagerie and
Circus men is hardly worthy even the Confed
erate usurpation. Ncr are its peregrinations
likely to end with Richmond. As the con
cern is performing without a lisence, it may
expect any moment to be startled by the po
liceman's cry of "Move on." Mr Davis may
pitch his tent and unbai his shutters and trot
out his animals for the delectation of the mil
lion, who pay to see tho show ; but be will
not be permitted to perform. Tho place will
be wanted for quite a different exhibition.
Rifled Cannon. The late engagements
with the rebels' batteries at Acquia Creek,
though unimportant in themselves, had at least
this importance in reference to the future,
that they clearly showed what is now the great
want which the Government must instantly ap
ply all their energies to meet namely, the
want of rifled cannon. The vessels which at
tacked the batteries at Acquia Creek were
twice repulsed and finally forced virtually to
give up the capture of the position, because
tbey were not armed with this efficient weap
on. In this respect, thanks to Floyd & Co.,
the rebels have ns at an advantage, And until
tho Government can remedy this defect, it
cannot cope eveu-banded with the rebel bat
teries. It is, however, certain that the Gov
ernment havo this very matter in hand, and
have taken such measures that the want will
not perhaps in another instance make Uself
felt. Clear vision and energetic action are
tho characteristics of the Administration.
. SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS
Jcne 5. Major Mvers..United States Army,
arrived in Washington to-day from New Mex
ico, over the plains. The Major was stopped
by secession troops en route hither at Osage
River Bridge, 100 miles from St. Louis. The
rebels examined him cautiously, and demand
ed his arms, but afterwards suffered him to
proceed. He thinks that serious trouble may
be anticipated in New Mexico from the stale
of affairs eastward, and fea.s are entertained
that some recent political movements, in be
half of the Territory, may not prove so advan
tajrous to the people there as was at first hoped
for by those most deeply concerned in the
welfare of that region of country.
News has ,iust been received that a large
number of American vessels have been taken
into New Orleans, as prizes by the rebels'
privateers, . But one war steamer blockedes
the mouth of the Mississippi river, so that two
or three channels are left entirelv open. The
Blockading force at that point should be im
mediatelv increased.
A person recently from Richmond says
that business there is dead, that the troops
march always at night, and without music;
and that the journals are forbidden to chroni
cle these secret movements. Terrorism is
complete, and Union men are in jail as hosta
ges for the safety of Secessionists in the hands
of the government.
It is affirmed that the rebels have offered a
reward of $500 for any member of tho Presi
dent's Mounted Guard, dead or alive ; being
specially obnoxious becaus it led the advance
into v irgmia. A private, who was on a visit
to his wile, uear Senaca, Md., is 'supposed to
bo in their hands, as he was taken prisoner.
Fairfax county will be represented in the
Wheelinc convention by John Hawkhurst, an
influential resident of the county who had
been forced to leave his family, and property
worth several thousand dollars, in order to
save himself from personal violence from tho
secessionists.
The Southern papers state the guns at the
Acquia creek batteries were managed by a
man named Cunningham of the Washington
Navy Yard. If it be true, he is in danger of
the gallows, as he was arrested some time ago
and released on taking the oath ot alle
giance. Several members of the Maryland Legisla
ture have recently visited the rebels at Rich
mond and Harper's Ferry, doubtless for the
purpose of conferring with the Confederate
leaders. There is a decided secession feeling
still lingering in Maryland ; it needs watching.
Scouts have returned to Chambersburg,
who report that there are less troops on Mary
land nights, overlooking Harper's Ferry,
than a-week ago, and only two guns in a bat
tery. They say it car- be carried at the point
of the bayonet, with little loss of life.
A sccno occurred at Washington which cra
ated a sensation. John C- Underwood present
ed to the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher an iron
ring and staple which were taken from a slave
pen in Washington. There were speeches by
both gentlemen.
A band of telegraphic operators has been
ordered to accompany the Federal forces.
Offices will be opened in every direction back
of Arlington Heights, so that troops can be
instantly concentrated at any given point.
The "brothers of Jackson, tho assassin of
Col. Ellsworth, are believed to be the murder
ers of the United. States pickets at various
points. They are said to have a company of
15 or 20 men finely mounted.
. A scout reports that the secessionists suc
ceeded in passing a wagon-load of powder
through the "Home Guards" at Sharpsburg,
Maryland. They got it safe into Harper's
Ferry.
Many of the cannon at Norfolk have been
removed by rail, and deposited along the line,
for fear of their falling into tho hands of Fed
eral troops, when Norfolk shall be taken.
It is reported, that a man, whose name was
Williams, an agent of the Government was ar
rested at Harper's Ferry yesterday, and imme
diately hung as a spy.
A Unionists w ho-has arrived at Washington,
states that the rebel force at Manasses, Ccntre
ville, Fairfax Station, and Fairfax Court House,
is 20,000 strong.
One hundred baggage-wagons havo arrived
at Chambersburg, for transportation purposes.
Another hundred will be required.
It is asserted, on positive information, that
Gen. Beauregard is at Manasses Junction, and
has assumed the command.
June 6. This morning Harriet Lane ex
changed about fifty shots with the Pig Point
Battery, nearly opposite Newport News, on
James river. She received two shots, wound
ing five men, one of them severely. The Har
riet Lane was about three-fourths of a mile
from the valley, the main embrasures of which
disclosed heavy guns. Two of the Harriet
Lane's shells burst immediately over them.
A large force moved from Washington late
on Tuesday night, and other troops have been
and are being despatched. The traitors are
said to be strongly fortified at Manasses. They
have planted five heavy batteries behind earth
works, two batteries ot light field pieces, and
have additional batteries of heavy guns posted
upon tho high grounds.
The Government has accepted the services
of the iron railroad battery constructed in
Philadelphia some time. ago for the Philadel
phia and Baltimore Railroad. It will be used
in the Southern movement of the army, for
the defenoe of such railroads as the Govern
ment may repair and employ lor military pur
poses. The United States Marshal has taken pos
session ol the Gun Factory of Merrill & Thom
as of Baltimore, and seized all the breech
loading muskets. An intimation was given
that ample employment would bo given to the
establishment in the manufacture of arms tor
the Government.
Twelve volunteers from Camp Scott near
Leavenworth, Kansas, went to Jatan in Mis
souri, and demanded a secession flag by au
thority of the U. S. When they were recross
ing the river tbey were fired upon, and three
of their number wounded, ono seriously.
Wo see it stated that C. M. Clay, has pub
lished an article in defence ol the United States
in the London Times. The government re
gards the publication as a violation of a law
forbidding ministers or consuls from making
any publications on political affairs.
Several locomotives and two hundred and
fifty horses, for the use of the army, arrived
at Washington from Pennsylvania.
A large fleet of trausyorts havo been added
to the service in the Chesapeake.
Jcxe7. Tho Chambersburg troops made a
southward movement this morning. As the
head of the column left the camp, the scene
was animating and imposing the citizens
cheering, and the soldiers responding, while
the feeling of both commands and troops was
full of hope, courage and animation. The
column extended along a line of six miles, and
would encamp at Grcenoastle for the night.
The next day they would reach Hagerstown Md.
There are now 8,000 U. S. troops at Phil,
lippi, Va. Fifteen bodies have been found in
a thicket near Phillippi, some of the rebels
having hid therefafter the fight. The Indiana
troops, without knowing the fact, had dischar
ged their Minnie rifles into the bushes to clear
them.
It is reported that Mr. Harvev the newly
appointed Minister to Portugal, is one of the
persons w ho furnished the authorities of South
Carolina with the information ot the intended
reinforcement of Fort Snmter. Time will
show whether this is a fact.
June 8. Two boys of Wllliamsport, about
seventeen years of age, were this moruing in
duced to cross the river by two men, repre
senting themselves as Union men desiring to
escape. The moment the boys crossed the
river, their boat was seized by bidden soldiers
and broken to pieces. The boys were then
carried off to the rebel camp.
A Baltimore deserter from Harper's Ferry
has arrived. He represents a deplorable state
of affairs there. He says there is nodiscipline,
the men only half armed, and that food is only
obtained by scramble, fight or foraging. Half
of the force are watching the opportunity to
desert.
News is said to have been received that the
Government of Prussia has received favora
bly our protest against a recognition of the
Southern Confederacy.
A Loan of $100,000,000. It is now considered-certain
that Congress will authorize a
popular loan of one hundred millions. Eight
or ten per cent, will be offered, and notes is
sued from fifty to one hundred thousand dol
lars in value. Good financiers say that this is
the cheapest method the government can a
dopttotill the coffers of the treasury, as it
will reserve the right after a couple of years
to recall the issue notes, and when tho war is
over, enough money can be had at five and six
per cent.
