THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JULY 17, 1861.
Thanks. lion. John Patton, and Hon.
Chapln Hall, will please accept our thanks,
for several valuable public documents. And
also Hon. L. W. Hall, for similar favors.
Tub Weather. During the last week the
weather was somewhat changeable. We had
some rain nearly every day, and the air has
been quite cool. Rather unfavorable weather
for hay making.
That Fiaiir. The fight on Saturday even
ing, did not result in any serious damage.
But, in our opinion, the persons who were iu
the fault, should be ashamed of their conduct,
and not engage in the like again.
Godet.s Ladt's Book. The August nun
f ihi. nmih admired Lady a Magazine is
on our table; and beside the embellishments
which arc superb, it contains its usual variety
of interesting literary matter. Every lady
should have a copy.
The Crops. So far as we can learn, the
crops in this county are good. The wheat and
rye is ripening fast, and we presume a portion
will be cut the coming week. The spring
crops look tolerable well ; and with a fair sea-
eon, may yet yield an abundant harvest.
Committee Melting. The Republican
County Executive Cdmmitteo are requested
to assemble in the Borough of Clearfield, on
Thursday the 25th Inst., for the transaction of
important business pertaining to the approach
ing fall eloctiun. It is desirable that every
member of the Committee should be present.
A. C. Finney, Chairman.
Fatal Accident. We loam this morning,
that Austin Brown, living on Sinnemahoning
creek in Huston township, and near Wood
ward's, accidentally shot himself on yester
day (Tuesday) afternoon. It is supposed
that Mr. Brown had seen a deer and came
into the house iff haste for his gun, when it
was discharged accidentally, the ball intering
at the mouth and passing up through the head
killing him instantly. Ho leaves a wife and
five children, the mourn his untimely death.
Clearfield County Volunteers. We see
it stated that the two Penn'a regiments which
were at Cumberland, and to which the two
companies from this county belong, have been
ordered to advance into Virginia to cut oft the
retreat ol Gen. Garnett's rebel force. A des
patch received at Ilarrisburg states that in an
vngagetuent which came off on Sunday, be
tween Gen. Hill's command and Garnett's for
ces, both the Clearfield companies took part,
but sustained no loss. A later report is to the
cllect that Capt. Irvin's company, or part of
it, were at one time surrounded, but cut their
w.iy through the enemy, capturing a number
of their wagons and munitions.
' FEOM A PRIVATE LETTER.
Camp Piehpoint, Martinsbnrg, Va., 1
July 7, 1861. C
My Der Sir : You no doubt know, by the
papers, all about our movements. We be
lung to, and of course move with Gen. Patter
hon'a division, He has now encamped around
us from 20,000 to 2o,000 troops; (J batteries,
and Capt. Double-day' seige train of two o'l
pounders and 1 howitzer, lesterday after
noon we had quite a brisk time, having re
ccived information that the enemy were sur
rounding us. The long roll was beat, the
men fell in rank, and in less than half an hour
about 15,000 troops where on the march for, we
knew not wheie. Our regiment marched a
bout of a mile, and was drawn up in battle
array along a fence, but the rebel force was
not to be seen. We remained in that peti
tion some four hours aud then returned to
camp. The other regiments did the same.
The rumor originated from our picket guards
seeing some "00 Rebel cavalry advancing,
who have a camp about two miles from here.
They annoy us nightly by firing at our pick
ets, and on two nights since our arrival here
had the whole camp under arms. They sbou Id
le dislodged, and would be, if our men were
allowed to do so. 1 never saw men more anx
ious to do any thing, that ours are to fight.
The Rebels are said to be 10 to 15,000 strong,
And entrenched, 10 miles south of us on the
Winchester road. If so, there will be a warm
time, soon. To give you an idea of the ex
tent of our train, I will just say that it was
14 hours in passing a given point. The pa
pers have given quite full accounts of the first
battle, or rather skirmish, by our aevance
guard. That night we encamped on the same
ground that the rebels were driven from in
the morning. I saw where they bad burned a
wagon load of corn to prevent it falling into
our hands; it was still burning when we came
up. They were C000 strong, and, I believe,
Mould not have made a stand at all, had it not
beenjto keep us in check until they could break
up camp and retreat in good order. 1 believe
the rebels retreated at once, as only about 2-
000 rucn with two pieces were engaged with
our advance. They made a bold stand and a
good Gght, until one of our batteries came up
to the relief of the 1st Wisconsin, who fought
well. The first shell that was sent by this re
lief, killed 10 men and 1 horse ; this put them
to rout. Our men chased them about a mile
and halted, when they made good their re
treat ; their rear just left Martinsburg as we
came up. On one occasion they out flanked
with their cavalry, and took about 40 of
our infantry prisoners ; who belonged to the
Kate Curtin Guards, nearly all from Centre
county. They had the prisoners with them
when they passed through Martinsburg. Our
loss was 2 killed one ftora 1st Wisconsin and
1 from Penn'a 11th regiments and 14 wounded.
Their loss cannot be definitely ascertained ;
but 1 am satisfied from what I learn from citi
zens here and along the road, that they had o
VerGO killed and about 100 wounded one of
which is with ours. I saw most of our wound

Ma. Editor : My attention ban bi-en drawn
to an article in the "Clearfield Republican"
of 3d of July, dated at Lutherslmrg and sign
ed "Spirit of 70" ; which was evidently writ
ten by some miserable miscreant. If the wri
ter in that article, or in any other of his acts
of cursing, swearing and blasphemy in abus
ing and scandalizing professors of religion
in saying that the Bible is nothing but ad-d
story-book it Jie, in any of these, represents
the Spirit of '76, would it be any wonder or
surprise if our country or government was
fraught with evil and would finally perish 1
Nearly the first word that this foul-mouthed
creature starts out with is, Jesus. Every per
son that is acquainted with him, (since he
came to Clearfield county,) knows full well,
that such a word never came through his pol
luted lips except to profane and blaspheme,
or to make some other improper use of that
precious name. The gentleman, at whom the
writer hurls his vile epithets and abuse, is so
far bis superior in intellect, morals and man
ners, that it would be hard to find words to
moke the distinction. The truth is, this par
ty sycophant was not in the church, nor near
it, when the discourse was delivered, and con
sequently did not hear a word of it. His
knowledge is only from hearsay, and that from
such as himself. Neither is there any truth
in saying that, "many good members here
were startled by such an announcement, and
with fear and trembling flew to their discip
line, &c. I have conversed with a number of
leading members of the church, and others,
and have found none who thought the Elder
taught or preached anything at varience with
the Discipline of that, or any other Christian
church. But, 1 will tell you, Mr. Editor,-and
the public at large, what the people are aston
ished at. They are surprised that the Editors
of the 'CIearfieId Republican'' would open
their columns for such mean, low blackguard
ism. The author of this same article has been
in the habit of attacking citizens and preach
ers of this community through newspapei
communications, and one of the editors of the
"Ilupublican" at least knows it. Previously,
however, no paper in the county would stoop
so low as to publish his productions, and in
that case they were sent to the "Elk County
Advocate." But it seems, when an editor and
his paper are ouce drenched with the hell-begotten
priuciples of rebellion and treason, they
need not stop at anything. The people ol Ln
thersburg and vicinity expect the Rev. Mr.
Car ii tliers to preach to them again when the
proper tune arrives ; and then, this political
brawler and his aiders and abettors, if he has
any, can have an opportunity to enforce their
mob law, so much threatened in his communi
cation. The citizens of Luthersburg and vi
cinity know their rights and will maintain
them. They need no profaneist and political
demagogue to point out their lights to them
especially' not such an one as this pretended
delenuer ol pure religion.
Now, Mr. Editor, this same discourse (so
much complained of in the 'Republican') has
been published in the "Pittsburg Christian
Advocate," by request ; and it is the wish of
those more immediately interested, that you
should print it in the Raftsman's Journal,
and then, the community can judge of its
merit. A Lover ok Irutu.
For the "Raftsman's Journal."
Mr. Editor: In your issue of June 19th,
you published by request, an article taken
from a Boston "Exchange," purporting to be
n "Nummary of the doctrines of the Advent
ists." That summary" is partly true and
partly false. Will yon, therefore, in simple
justice to us and the community, please insert
the lollowing corrections:
Article 1. "That man is mortal, soul and
body." Advcntists believe that the soul of
man can never die.
Article 2. "That the daad are wholly un
conscious ; consequently arc neither happy
nor in misery." Adventists believe that the
dead are conscious, and are either happy or
in nmery.
Article 3. "That if there is not to be in the
future a literal resurrection of the dead, there
can be no future life for thorn that have died.'
This Adventists do believe.
Article 4. ''The rewards and punishments
promised in the Bible are not to be given un
til the second advent of Christ." Advent
ists believe this.
Article 5. "Modern spiritual manifestations
are not the work of departed human spirits,
but are produced by another order of beings,
called in the Bible 'demons,' whose object is
to ruin all who believe in them." We believe
'modern spiritual manifestations' to be a revi
val of ancient witchcraft, and is produced by
demons,' whom Jews, Greeks, Romans, and
the Disciples, understood to be the spirits of
tiie wicked dead.
Article 6. "Christ is soon to make his lit
eral glorious advent to this world, to save all
thoso that obey him." This we believe.
Article 7. "That the earth is to bo purified
by fire, restored to its original pure condition,
and it will then become the eternal home of
all the people of God." This, wo also fully
endorse.
Article 8. "The wicked will not all be sav
ed, neither will they sutler eternal torments ;
but they will be punished with 'everlasting
destruction' ; in other words, they will be put
out of existence, as unworthy to live and pol
lute the universe of God." We believe that
all the wicked will be turned into bell and e
ternally sutler conscious torment.
Article 9. "llie Bible is the only standard
cf religious belief, and must be understood in
its most literal and natural signification." To
this article we fully assent.
These doctrines, as here corrected, we af
firm, honestly believing them to bo the teach
ings of the word of God; and hold ourselt in
readiness to advocate and defend the same.
"And be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the
hope that is in you, with meekness and fear."

Results ofMilitart Occupation. The
Baltimore American says : A friend has band
ed us a letter found in the pocket of an ofiicer
ol the Confederate forces, written to a friend
at Richmond. He was, with several others,
surprised near Great Bethel by some of Gen.
Butler's scouts, and escaped, leaving their
coats hanging on the limb of a tree.
In speaking of the New Orleans Zouaves,
which he call "Jeff. Davis' Pet Wolves," he
says : "They were here only about twenty-four
hours, and in that time kilted only four cows,
together with pigs and sheep too numerous to
mention : they are without doubt the hardest
set lever saw." lie continues: "We have
been getting on quite comfortably here, as we
manage to get a few extras occasionally by
buying them. But we have not received any
thing in the way of meat from the Commissa
ry except salt bacon, and most of the time the
most abominable flour you ever saw ; in fact,
the bread made from it is so heavy that it is
dangerous to go swimming after eating a meal
of it. for fear of sinking !"
Whatever may bo said of the military re
sources of Virginia, in men and arms, in the

relieved of all its superabundant supply. ; We

that portion of the State, that within a radius
of 40 miles of a given spot, "no chicken could
be heard to crow,' whilst everything else in the
way of eatables was completely swept oS,

Mr. Editor : I send you the following ex
tract from a letter dated July Gth, from Jessa
mine, Ry. It is written from a point where
a lew months ago a reign of terror existed
so dreadful that people could only write or
speak thus at the risk of life. But now the
people in their might have thrown ofYtheyoke
of secession, and dare to speak aye,' and act
too, in a way that should bring the blush of
shame to the cheeks of some in this county
who sympathize with the traitors, and whose
cry has been s-o coercion," but "compromise

. ' When I wrote last the storm seemed to be
gathering tl.ick here, and I thought it would
be better for roe to bear a little privation than
to get myself into trouble by saying anything
about it. 1 thought, then that all difficulties
would have been settled ere this, but that time
seems distant as ever, though we here feel more
secure rfbw. fa settled that Kentucky cannot
go out of the Union. The Union men are two
to one in the State, and in this vicinity more
than twenty to one. They have the arms, and
others cannot get them, except through false
pretenses. The Governor is doubtless a trat
tor, but he has a committee of ''The true" to
watch over his proceedings. A pretty Gover

There was a grand celebration in Danville
on the 4th. There were between fifteen and
tweuty thousand persons present and a free
dinner provided for all. Seveuty-nve sheer
and a like number of porkers were barbacued
for the occasion ; besides large .quantities of
ham and other meats. Six companies or vol
unteers were present. Three flag presentations
by the ladies took place. When the proces
sion was formed thirty our young ladies robed
in white, each representing by a badge on her
breast one of the great States of the Union
marched together, and to crown the whole
South Carolina and Massachusetts went side
by side, as much as to say, "not one state shall
be given up." Everything passed off harmo

strength daily."

THE TRUTH PLAINLY SPOKEN.
F II. Pierpont," the new Governor of Vir
ginia, has sent to the Legislature his first
message, from which we extract a few para
graphs, as bearing upon certain points which
we hear frequently discussed in this region ;
The fact is no longer disguised that there has
been in the South, lor many vears, a secrect
organization, laboring with steady prescver-
ancc to oveiturn the rederal Government aud
destroy constitutional liberty in this country
The various conventions held in that portion
of the couptry, for some years past ostensibly
for other objects, have only been the means of
feeling the public pulse to ascertain it there
was sufficient disease in the body politic far
dissolution. The cry of danger to the institu
tion of slavery , has been a mere pretext to
louse and excite the peoplo. In abandoning
the Constitution of the Union, the leaders of
the movement must have known that they
were greatly weakening the safeguards and
protection which were necssary to the exis-
ence of that institution. What affiliations this
great conspiracy has had in the Northern
States, remains yet unknown. The spirit
which has been roused throughout the North
has cairied all opposition before it. But the
extent of the treasonable plot has not been
fully developed. Before the designs of the
conspirators were manifest, thousands of good
men sympathized with the effort, as they re
garded it, of the South to maintain their Con
stitutional rights ; but those have all abandon
ed them when the true purpose was ascertatn
ed. If there are any in the North, or in the
Border States, who still adhere to the conspir
acy, they will attempt to aid its object by in
direct means; by opposing and cavilling at the
efforts to which the Government, in a strug
gle for existence, may use its own defence ;
and by attempting to raise a popular outcry a-
eainst coercion, and advocating a peaceable
separation. A bold stand for secession would
scarcely be attempted ; but those who sympa
thize with the leaders of rebellion will seek
by covert and indirect means to aid the ob
ject of the conspirators. There is only one
question now lor American citizen to decide
in this controversy : Do you desire to stand by
and live under the Constitution which has
contributed so long and so greatly to the hap
piness aud prosperity of the people, and to
transmit its blessings to our prosperity ? Or,
do you desire the UDion brokec up, and an
oligarchy or military despotism established in
its stead ? The leaders of the bouth are stri
ving for the latter. The Government of the
United States is exerting its whole force to
maintain the integrity of the former. There
cau be no neutral ground. The proclamation
of the President calling for seveuty-five thou
sand volunteer troops is commonly relied upon
to justify the ordinance of secession. That
proclamation was issued on the 15th of April,
1861. It must not however, be over looked
that on the Gth of March, 1861, the pretended
Congress at Montgomery, provided by law for
calling into the field a force of one hundred
thousand voluuteers ; and that on the 12th of
April the Secretary of War of the Confederate
States publicly announced that war was com
menced, and that the capital at W ashington
would be captured before the first of May.
The intention to capture the capital of the U
nion was repeatedly proclaimed in influential
papers at Richmond and other Southern cities
before the 15th of April. It was in fact long
a cherished object of the leaders iu this great
conspiracy, via tuey expect me rresiaent
of the nation to yield the capital, and retire in
disgrace, without adopting any measures of
defence ? 1 et V irginia, we are told, seceded ;
because the President, under such circumstan
ces, called volunteers to tne aeience oi tue
country.
'One of the Boys." Among those now
fighting the battle of the Union in Western
Virginia, is a well known lumberman from the
Olean district, at the head waters of the Al
legheny river, on the border line between
New York and Pennsylvania, who was last
fall a devoted supporter of Breckinridge, and
has ever been a friend of the South, lie owns
a lumber yard at Memphis, and hearing that
things looked "squally" down there, he was
about visiting that city to see after his pro
perty, but heard at Cincinnati, on his way
thither, that he had better give it a wide
berth. Ho telegraphed to a friend in Mem
phis for a solution of his doubt, and received
the gruff answer, "Damn you ! come on!"
lie obeyed the discourteous invitation, reach
ed Memphis, and soon fouud his hotel sur
rounded by a mob of demons yelling for bis
blood. Aided by a friend he made his es
cape from a rear . window, ran several miles
across the country to the next station North
on the railroad, there took the cars and had
the good fortune to reach' Cincinnati, whence
he telegraphed home that he would meet his
friends and neighbors the next evening. He
did so meet them, told them be was in for the
war for the Union, and, raising a company of
sharp shooters on the spot, is now at its head
in Western Virginia. . , : ' . v ; , ; 7 .

Washington, July 15, 2 P. M. The fol
lowing important despatch has just been re
ceived by the War Department, dated
Hcttonsviile, July 14th, 18C1 :
To Col. E. D. Townsend, Jlss't Adjutant Gen .
.Dear Sir : Gen. Garnett, of the rebel for
ces has been completely defeated. We have
taken all his baggage and 7 guns. His army
is completely demolished. Gen. Garnett is
among the killed. The rebels are . now com
pletely annihilated in Western Virginia. Our
loss is thirteen killed, and not over forty
wounded. The enemy's loss is fully two hun
dred killed, and we have taken over onethons
and prisoners. Seven guns have been taken
in all. I still look with hopes to the capture
of the remnants of Garnett's army, by Gen.
Hill. The troops defeated were the crack Re
giments of Eastern Virginia, aided by Geor
gians, Tennessecans and South Carolinians
Our success is complete, and Secession is
killed in this part of the country.

Dispatches from Grafton state that the body
of Gen. Garnett, the late commander of tho
rebel forces at Laurel hill, had arrived there
in a special train. He was while attempting
to rally his retreating forces at Carrack's Ford
near St. George. The rebels were complete
ly routed by Gen. Morris' division. All of
their camp equippage was captured, with
many provisions.
The Hon. Henry May, representing the
Fourth Congressional District of Maryland,
returned to Baltimore from his visit to Rich
mond, Va., on Saturday last, by way of Win
Chester and Frederick. He was detained sev
eral days by indisposition. Mr. May is im
pressed with the belief that the government
of the Confederate States will accept of no
compromise which has not for its basis the
recognition of the Southern Confederacy
Gen. Lee is at Richmond holding a high mil
itary command.
McClellin's dispatches have diffused a gen
eral joy at Washington, and none share it in a
greater degree than Gen. Scott himself. The
intelligence has served to make the military
hereabouts impatient for an opportunity to
achieve results similar to those narrated.
During yesterday Baltimore was filled with
rumors to the effect that Gov. Hicks had been

truth upon the rumors.
