flo.v. Joseph Holt's Letter. We this
week pubjish on our outside, Mr. Holt's letter
to Mr. Speed, on the present condition of our
country. It is an able and patriotic docu
ment, and should be read by every man in
the country. Mr. Holt was Postmaster Gen
eral under Mr. Buchanan, with the exception
of a few months at the close of Mr; B's admin
istration, during which he was Secretary of
"War. As this .letter is not a political docu
ment, but the honest expression of a loyal
-citizen and a Kentucky Democrat, we bespeak
for it an attentive perusal by our readers, and
hope that it will be placed in the hands of ev
cry Democrat in the county, with a request
that it be carefully read.
LETTEE FROM CAMP POSTER.
Camp Pohtkr, June 23d 18G1.
Mr. Editor Joirnal : This beautiful after
noon, whilst reclining in the shade of a tow
ering Black walnut, I was dreatnmg "day
dreams" of home and loved ones that may
never smile upon us again. And 1 thought
too, Mr. fcditor, otthe many sweet though sad
looking eyes that might glance over the pa-
en of the Journal, and grow bright and spar
kle at the sight ofa letter from "Camp." If
vou will let this have a place, I will give you a
rambling account of our doings since we left
Camp Johnson at Lancaster. We left that
place with feelings something akin to those
we had when leaving home. The ladies of
Lancaster have our heart-felt thanks for the
many acts of kindness extended to us. When
we arrived at Chambersburg, we began to re
alize some of the hardships of soldier life
We had to remain in the cars some six or
eight hours after we arrived at the depot, and
make our breakfast on hard bread alone. It
ws raining hard all the time, and some of the
hoys feeling the need of a comforter, quietly
let t the cars and procured enough of the "Ob
be joyful" to create a few out-bursts of patri
otism. One of them grow so rapidly in hia
own estimation, that he thought he was the
Commander-in-chief, and mistaking the Cap
tain for a secessionist, he charged bayonet,
and with an oath said he would kill him. At
this moment, one of the boy's who had not for
gotten his duty, and wishing to save the life
of his Captain, knocked the man down. Iu
hall an hour after, the order was given to leave
the cars and take up our line of march for
Camp. The rain still continued to fall, but
there was no help for it, out we must go. This
we all did cheerfully except Wm. Gillen,
who had threatened the life of our Captain.
Gillen, however, was forced to go, after ma-
King a dish at our Lieut. In passing through
Chanibersburg, Gillen made an other attempt
on the life of the Lieut., who avoided him,
not wishing a fuss in the stree'. Again when
a mile from town Gillen refused to march,
and swore he would sooner kill a commission
ed officer than a secessionist, and that if he
got into a battle, the first shot he fired would
he at his own officers. The Lieut ordered
him on with his company, but instead of go
ing, he made another charge with his bayo
net. The Lieut having lost all patience, took
the musket from him and knocked him down,
and gave him a few pelts after he was down.
All the officers and men unite in saying, that
the Lieut did but his duty, and would have
served he villain right if he had killed him.
Gillen has not showed himself at Camp since
and his whereabouts is not known. After
marching three and a half miles, through mud
nearly knee deep, we arrived at Camp Patter
son. A few days after we arrived in Camp,
this same Lieut was promoted to the office of
Regimental Quarter Master and acting Com
misary of subsistance. Our Camp was named
in honor of General Patterson. At this Camp
we were supplied with tents and began to re
alize more and more Che discomforts of a sol
diers life. On Sunday the 10th inst, we struck
our tents and the same day pitched them In
Hager's field on the south of Ilagorstown, Md.
In the evening we were reviewed by Gen. Pat
terson and Gov. Hicks. The Gen. made us
luitc a speech, and during his remarks the
Gov. appeared to be much moved ; but he had
not a word to say. On Monday night about
eleven o'clock the call to "arms" was given,
and in course of two hours the Regiments
were under way, going they knew not where.
We marched back to, and through Hagers
ton turning to the left. .Not a sound was to
be heard but the heavy tread of armed men.
I think it was one of the most impressive
sights I ever witnessed. So large a body of
jnen moving along with hasty 'strides, all si-h-'it
as death, save that solemn tramp,
AMP' tramP' As the sun's first rays gilded
Respires and house tops of Williamsport,
company alter company, and regiment after
"giment, filed past the town, and camped up
?h the. banks of the bright Potomac; and ere
birds had sung their matin hymn, there
were twenty thousand troops, where the night
j'ore there was but a regiment or two. Not
oeing one of the initiated, I can not tell why
?ege troops were so rapidly concentrated at
"s place; but rumor said the rebela had
l-reatened to sack the town on that day. Two
n usand men, perhaps crossed the river but
in n?eetin8 n enemy returned. After pass-

appear to be unionists, but there are also a
few rebels In the neighborhood. We have

and will most undoubtedly be condemned,
Our beloved General is using his best endeav
ors to have the soldiers conduct themselves as
becomes men and Pennsylvanians ; and I feel
sure, that we will leave a reputation behind
us that we may be proud of. Our General is
one of the best men and a most excellent of

of this, lam yours, Gibson.
THE APPROACHING SESSION OF CONGRESS
Never has Congress met under more event
ful circumstances, says the .New York Metho
dint, than will surround it on the fourth of Ju
ly, 1801. From the adjournment of the last
Congress to the meeting of this, there have
been mighty strides of progress. Then Port
Sumter was beleaguered and the wisest states
men counselled its surrender ; and with each
repetition of that ominous wprd "surrender,"
every man's heart sank. Then the world a
broad accepted the dissolution of the Union
as an accomplished fact. Then loyal citizens
asked one another despairingly : "Have we a
Government V How completely all this is
changed to-day ! At the call of the President,
an army has risen up for the defence of the
Union. The points of strategic importance
have been occupied. Maryland has been
saved, Western Virginia rescued from destroy
ers, and a new irginia born. In Kentucky
disunion has been overawed, and in Missouri
it has been suppressed. Loyalty to the Gov
ernment has found an expression in East-Tennessee,
and is daring to speak above its breath
in orth-Carolina. A strict blockade of the
Southern ports is smothering rebellion, by
withdrawing from it the vital air. If we look
at the active military operations, we have the
capture of the rebel forces at St. Louis, the
rout at Philippi, the victory at Booneville, the
evacuation of Harper's Ferry, all of which
have been followed by decisive results. Our
blockade has been formally recognized by the
great maritime powers, a strict neutrality pro
claimed, and the last hope of the rebels ex
tinguished by the refusal to them of the privi
lege of carrying prizes into neutral ports
Our weakest point our commerce is now
well protected. Foreign ministers in full
sympathy with the nation, in its present atti
tude. are now representing us abroad. In the
British Parliament, the motion to recognize
the ill starred Confederacy Las been indefinite
Iy postponed. Such are some of the brilliant
results secured in the brief interval from the
fourth of March to the fourth of July, 1861
Never before, in our history at least, have
events of to much importance been crowded
into the same space of time. The fact that
these victories have been almost bloodless,
but adds to their lustre. .
All these results have been achieved by a
display of resolution. While, we hesitated,
treason prospered ; the moment we were- re
solved, it began to falter. We have created a
new public opinion both at home and in Europe
We have regained confidence in ourselves;
we are now certain that the American people
united, arc competent to maintain the integri
ty of the Union against all opposers. It is in
credible, therefore, tnat any man, or any
clique of men, should seriously propose com
promise. How can we compromise ? Can we,
of our own free will, demand less of the par
ties to rebellion, than the laying down of their
arms, the dissolution of their pseudo-confed
eracy, the restoration of the national property
they have seized, and the retaking of the oath
of allegiance ? A compromise with rebellion
is a capitulation. I here can be no compro
mise with the theory of secession in its final
form a rebellion backed by an army. e may
surrender to it, but if we do so, let us honest
ly call the act by its right name. We are not
to be told that it is more Chriiitian to yield ;
it is not, when the question in controversy is
one of right and duty to ourselves and our
children. As we have already quoted from
the eloquent De Gasparin in another part of
this paper, "resolution is always pacific."
Timidity alone has dragged us into civil war ;
and resolution, firm and determined, will even
now make for us the shortest way out.
It is to be hoped that the unanimity- of the
nation may be reflected in the unanimity of
Congress. The loyal citizens of these United
States are of one mind; and the intriguers
who would effect their objects by a degrada
tion of the national honor may well beware.
And we ask that the mora) efiect of this una
nimity may not be marred by any wrangling
about the end to be pursued ; that question has
already been decided by the voice of the na
tion. Rebellion has thriven upon our dissen
sions; it has paled before our united energy ;
and Congress by unanimity will give the death
blow to its sole remaining hopes. Our Sena
tors and Representatives should, before they
adjourn, pass in substance the old Roman de
cree, "Let our magistrates take care that the re-
public receives no detriment .'" And with this
ample commission we may safely entrust our
cause to our rulers and to God.
The Privateer Savaxnah. It would seem
from the statements made that the Savannah
went to sea but poorly prepared for the dang
erous business of privateering; her armament
was very defective, and her officers unskilled
in seamanship. The captain states that be
had never anticipated the possible contingen
cy of his capture, having trusted to the excel
lent sailing qualities of his craft to escape a
superior foe. Nor had he determined what be
should do with his prizes in the event of his
not being able to get them into a Southern
port. The three principal officers of the pri
vateers were verv indignant that they should
be put in irons like the rest of the crew, but
Marshal Murray very properly told them that
he could make no "distinction between pi
rates." The prisoners, thirteen in number,
are with three exceptions, either foreigners,
or from the Northern States. The first officer
and purser are Charlestonians, the captain a
Philadelphian, and the sailing-master a .North
Catolinian. The whole number were safely
lodged in the Tombs, in New York City.
The Secession Conspiracy. Edward Ever
ett, in a private letter, recently published,
declares his knowledge of the fact that for
thirty years leading Southern politicians, had
been resolved to break up the Union, and that
the slavery question was but a pretext for
keeping up agitation and holding the South
together. The New York World is informed,
from a trustworthy source, that one of the la
test occupations of the now deceased Senator
Douglas, was the partial preperation of a
pamphlet exposing, from a personal knowledge
similar to that from which Mr. Everett speaks.
the secret machinations and puhlic plans of
this great Southern conspiracy. Before the
close of this war, it will become seir-evident
to every nothern man with a grain of sense in
his head that such has been the purpose of the
Southern conspirators, aud that the name of
'democracy" has been used as a catspaw to
efiect that purpose.

o. The Latest News: f
Received by Tuesday Evening's Mail.
Jilt I. It is said, that a plot has been dis
covered in Baltimore, of an intended outbreak
The. police commissioners have been arrested
and sent to Fort M'Henry. Federal troops are
stationed in various parts of the city.
A movement is on foot in Western Texas
to seperate it from the rest of the State, and
erect it into a Union State. It is settled prin
cepally by Germans. The Union seidiment
is gaining daily. Gen. Carpan, a Unionists
at the head of 200 men, recently routed twice
that number of rebels. '
Gen. Patterson has moved his headquarters
southward towards Harper's Ferry, and his
column has made an advance movement. He
will erect a battery commanding the Ferry.
Three pickets of the 4th Penn'a regiment
were attacked by 14 rebels, who killed T. Mur
ray of Norristown, and wounded another. A
rebel sergeant was killed.
It is now stated that the Government is
waiting only for wagons, : which appear to be
much needed, before making an advance
movement.
The English bark Etna, with a cargo of ri
fled connon for the rebels at Pensacola, has
been captured off Fort Pickens.
It is said, that there are at Yorktown, 12,000
troops from Louisiana, South Carolina, North
Carolina and Georgia.
About fifty members of Congress have reach
ed Washington city.
The Hopelessness of the Rebel Cause Im-
rosiNQ Strength of Scott's Positions.
When Gen. Scott shall have completed his
preparations and dispositions, there will be
such a tremendous preponderance on the side
of the Federal forces at every point that it
would seem not unlikely that the rebellion
will be crushed out without any serious sacn
fice of life. There is no doubt of the desper
ation of the rebels, and of their determination
'to prolong the contest, in the hope that the
North will become wearied, or be deluded in
to some plan of compromise. But we can and
should, by a vigorous use of the enormous re
sources which a patriotic and united people
has placed at the command of our Govern
ment, crush the rebellion by the mere weight
of our columns. The forces now concentra
ting upon Manassas Junction and Norfolk
would seem to leave them no choice but to re
enact the game of Harper's Ferry at both
these points, and finally at Richmond, which
city, according to the most reliable accounts,
is without any considerable defenses, and can
offer no serious oppositions to the advance of
a well appointed army of 150,000 men. It is
not unreasonable to anticipate that by the 1st
of N ovember next the r ederal forces will be
in occupation of every considerable port and
every point of strategic importance in the
Rebel States. Not a bale of cotton, not a
tierce of rice, nor a hogshead of tobacco will
be able to leave a Southern port, nor a box of
goods or supplies of any kind to reach those
States, except through the legal constitued
channels of commerce, receiving clearances
from Federal collectors, or paying duties into
the federal Treasurv.
"He remembered the Forgotten" was beauti
fully said of Howard the philanthropist. It
also applies to every man who brings the ame
liorations, comforts and enjoyments of life
within the reach of persons and classes who
are otherwise deprived of their advantages
Especially may it it be said of him who labo
riously seeks and finds new means of preserv
ing health, "the poor man's capital and the
rich man's power." He think- this eulogium
properly applied to J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, the
renowned chemist of New England who, spurn
ing the trodden paths to fame, devotes his en
tire abilities and acquirements to the discov
ery of Nature's most effectual remedies for
disease. When the hidden blessings has been
revealed, he proceeds to supply it to all man
kind alike, through our druggists, at such low
prices that poor and rich may alike enjoy its

Riot. A very serious riotoccured on Mon
day, at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The mob at
tacked several banking houses, maltreated the
persons employed there, and destroyed prop
erty to a considerable amount. The military
were called out ; the first company refused to
act; the second charged with bayonets upon
the crowd, which broke and fled. It was fear
ed that more trouble would be made ; the city
was put under martial law, and troops were
sent for from neighboring towns. The not
was caused by the action of the Bankers on
Saturday, in throwing out of circulation the
notes of a large number of the Banks of this
State.
The Sharp Shooters Mr. Berdan who
has been active in organizing the regiment of
crack shots, has received more than five hun
dred applications, by letter, from sharp-shooters,
who are desirous of joining this regiment
and who can send targets within the limits of
the requirement, properly attested. Detatch
ments from this regiments will be sent for
ward, and placed at the disposal of General
Scott, as fast as subscriptions are made for e-
quipping the men.
Every Summer the demand for Hostetter's Cele
brated Stomach Bitters increases. It is found to
be the only certain preservation of bodily strength
during a period when the atmosphere is calcula
ted to induce a feeling of lassitude and indiges
tion. The worst cases of Diarrhoea, and Dysentery
give way to its potent influence. Innumerable
persons, who are now alive and well, must thank
the discoverer of this preparation that they have
not been swept away in the harvest of death. The
Bitters is recommended by the best physicians in
the land. This is the best evidence of its real
value, because, as a general thing, they will not
speak a word in favor of advertised propartiong.
They have been compelled to acknowledge the
claims of the Bitters upon the community. Sold
by all druggists.
