CLEARFIELD, PA.. AVii. 11, 1861.
THE CLEARFIELD REPUBLICAN 017 FACTS;
: Tbe editors of the Breckinridge organ in
this place, in their last issue, pitch into us
with nearly acoluma of billingsgate. They try
to create the impression that we are responsi
ble lortheyirif move in party organization,
because we published the names of the Repub
lican County Committee on tbe 8th of May
last. Did not these same editors publish the
names of tbe "Democratic County Committee
on the 20th of February last ? It the publish
ing of the- names of such committee is the
first more in party organization, did not they
make that move? But, again, the editors of
the Republican admit, that tbe first call tor the
"Democratic" committee, was published on
May 22d. On the other hand, the first call
for tbe Republican committee was published
on July 17th. From the ?2d of May till the
17th of July is nearly two months. Then,
which call was published first? Did these
truth telling editors stick to the facts in the
above cases ?
"When, where, and by whom," ask theso
wiseacres exultingly, "bare party lines been
disregarded ?" Not by the leaders of the
Breckinridge "Democracy" of Clearfield coun
ty, certainly. The editors of the organ of that
wing of the party, as early as April 17th, in
speaking of our National difficulties under the
head of "The duty of Democrats," make use
of the following significant language :
"It is well to inquire what, in such an eraer-
gency, is the duty of Democrats ? The an
" swer is best furnished by a reference to the
" past history ol the Democratic party. . . Yet
we apprehend that those who fully corn pre
" bend, and properly appreciate, the purposes
" of its organization, can hare no difficulty in
deciding what course to pursue."
As tbe editors do not fully explain, in the
article from which ijt is taken, the meaning of
this language, we will quote from their jssne
of May 10th, to
"If it were not so ridiculous it would be
amusing to hear the Republicans proposing
" to drop party distinctions," etc. "No, no.
" We are opposed to any such arrangement.
"... We want the old fight to stand just
where it left off."
Now, we "apprehend that those who fully
comprehend" the meaning of the aboTe ex
tracts, "can hare no difficulty in deciding"
i ts purport ; and that is, stick to the party or
ganization ! Don't unite with those 'Black Rt
publicans"!
But, pre jsh the reader to refer to the dates
and. see whether we hare given them correct
or not. -Perhaps, however, the names of the
months in these editor's almanac, (like their
leader in sustaining the Union,) run "sjightu
ally" the other way that July comes before
May, and May before February and, as their
sympathies seem to incline a little stronger
towards tbe Rebels, than their desire is to
stick to facts, perhaps, "falsehood palpable,
unqualified, and bare-naked" answers their
purpose better than the truth?
And now, in the language of the editors of
tho Clearfield Republican we say : "Such are
the facts, and we leave the public to fix their
own estimation upon the varacity of an edi
tor, bo, with such cool deliberation, attempts
to misrepresent facts so notorions, and there
by deceive and mislead his friends."
Co-xpe ration Refcscd. We see it stated
that ' the Democrats of Ohio and New York
have refused to unite with the Republicans in
support of .but one ticket for State offices. In
New York the Republican State Committee
addressed the Democratic State Committee,
who nncerernpnjouily rejected the offer. In
Ohio the invitation was extended to tbe masses
of the pa.r,ty,but rejected. In Vermont tbe Re
publicans have made the same offer. Thus.the
experiment for a Union ticket has been mado
in two States by the Republicans, without sue
and whether .it will be attended with
better success ip othty States, remains to be
seen. It was worth the while, however, to
make tbe attempt, as the Republicans bave
thereby shown their willingness to forget party
in Jheir desire to tejrve Xheir country ; on the
other band, the Democrats by refusing the1
magnanimous offer, bave shown tbat they pre
fer their party to their country. They are
welcomo to tho full benefit of their choice.
Will the Breckinridge organ is Clearfield
make s note of tbe above fact ?
Tbe Republican State Committee of New
York havo offered to tho Democratic State
Committee to call the State Conventions f
the two parties on the same day and at the
same place, "for the purpose of enabling the
" two Conventions to unite in tbe nomination
( of a Union ticket, pledged to a vigorous
if prosecution of the war, for the restoration of
" Iho authority of tbe Constitution and the
" execution of tbe Federal laws in all sections
"fit the country
For the benefit of the editors of the Clear
fitfd Republican, we will state that the "Gree
ly wirg" of the Republican party, i. e. the
Chairman of tbeCouaty Committed, is ready
to enter into an arrangement like tbe above ;
providing, the .editors do po.t insist upon nom
inating Secessionists to sUI any of tbe offices.
CoxriscATiira Propertt. By the Ordinanco
of Virginia, the property of Gen. Scott in
that State has been confiscated to the public
treasury. As a cotemporary well observes,
before tbe state can realize it, General Scott
mil probably make good his title with his sword
Ges. McDowell's Report. The official
report of Brigadier-General McDowell, con
cerning tbe battle at Bull Run, or Stone
Bridge, is published. It gives a clear ac
count of the engagement, and of the move
ments proceding it. The report makes it
quite clear that the army was not ready for its
advauce, and yet tbat the advance could noj
be delayed, because tbo term of service of the
largest and best part of the force was about to
expire It is distinctly stated, also, that
Gen. Patterson's failure to check Johnston
and prevent his joining Beauregard, helped to
cause tbe defeat. Gen. McDowell's state
ment of tho killed and wounded sums up :
- Non-com. officers

Wounded, 64
and privates. Total.

1409 1492
The actual number of missing cannot yet be
stated, as every day soldiers heretofore re
ported as missing are making their appear
ance. Recentl estimates put the killed at
about 500, and the wounded and micsing at
about 1,500. This is not very far from the
number reported by General McDowell, after
examining all .the official data within bis
reach. Bnt we presume that if complete and
accurate returns could be obtained, some of
the missing woutd have to be classed among
the killed, increasing their number perhaps
to six hundred. The wounded are not likely
to exceed eleven hundred, and a large propor
tion of these are but slightly hurt. A later,
and full official report, mjikes the casualties
on our side 2708, of these 481 were killed,
1011 wounded, and 1216 missing.

By reference to tbe above table it will be
seen tbat by tbe "Act to provide additional
means for defraying the expenses of Govern
ment," Pennsylvania's share of the direct tax
levied upon the United States is apportioned
at$l,946,719. It may be interesting toexhibit
the addition made to our State taxes on real
estate by this levy. At the triennial meeting
of the Revenue Commissioners in 1860, the
valuation of the taxable property of the Com
monwealth was fixed at $569,000,000 ; and to
collect $1,946,0C0 on that amount will, there
fore, reqniro an assessment of about three and
a half mills on tbe dollar; or two-fifths more
than our present State tax.
A , .
"Thb Rebel Loss. Statements confirming
the loss of the Rebel army at the battle of
Bull Ron, or Stone Bridge, continue to be re
ceived, which show that their loss was much
greater than that on onr side. A carefully
written letter to tbe Richmond Dispatch, da
ted July 27tb, six days after tbe battle, says :
"The mortality was immense upon both
sides. Upon ours, tho returns will show a
bouc six hundred killed and twenty-five hundred
wounded." As the reporters and writers for
the Southern papers are in tbo habit of under
rating their own losses, tbe actual number
of killed and wounded probably exceeds this.
The statements of the respective losses of
different regiments confirm these large fig
ures, and the reports of the number of wound
ed at various places confirm them. The Phil
adelphia Bulletin, several days since, copied
from a New Orleans paper an appeal for sup
plies for six hundred wounded men at Char
lottesville alone. It is known tbat large
numbers of wounded are still at Manassas,
while Richmond, Lynchburg, Culpepper,
Warrenton and many other towns, have re
ceived them by hundreds. All things con
sidered, it is not suprising to hear that Gen.
Beauregard is in no hurry to send a return of
the killed and wounded to the War Depart
ment at Richmond.
"Tho Democratic party are now and ever
have been for tbe Union." Clearfield Rep.
Who are Hunter, Mason, Lane, Burnett,
Cobb, Toombs, Pryor, Kcitt, Wigfall, Floyd,
Wise, Jeff. Davis & Co.? Are they not tbe
leaders of the Democratic party in the South,
and are they not the leaders of tbe existing
Rebellion ? Do tbe editors of the Republican
repudiate theso men, or do tbey merely make
tbe above ''unqualified assertion" to deceivo
their followers? Again Who in tbe North
sympathize with the Rebels, and who are they
tbat continually snap and snarl at tbe Admin
istration, because it is trying to put down re
bellion 1 Are they not Democratic politicians
and Democratic newspapers? Who then is
responsible for this rebellion ? Is it not tho
leaders of the Democratic party? The Dem
ocratic party a pretty Upton party indeed!
Gen. Bi'tler on the Contrabands. We
this week publish on our outside, Gen. But
ler's letter on the Contraband question. The
General treats the s abject in an able and prac
tical manner ; and being a Breckinridge Dem
ocrat, will no doubt attractnuch attention.
Had the sentiments, expressed by .Gen, B.,
emanated from a Republican, our Democratic
friends would have denounced them as rank
Abolitionism. Will the Democracy endorse
him, or will they drop bis acquaintance ? We
wilt wait and see.

STJHMABY OF WAS. NEWS.
The Wheeling Intelligencer of Aug. 7, says :
By the arrival of a gentleman yesterday from
tbe Kanawa country, we have further accounts
of the doings of Wise in that region. For
cool and wanton atrocity in robbery, theft
and destruction of property, his career has no
parallel in modern tiroes. For weeks previous
to his hurried and precipitated retreat, he
kept his guerillas constantly scouring and
marauding tbe counties of Kanawha and Jack
son, seizing all the cattle and horses of the U
nion men, and pretending to buy them of the
disunion men, but never paying anybody.
These cattle and horses be sent on to the
east, until there are very few good horses left
in the counties named. He burned nearly
every bridge in the valley, except the fine sus
pension bridge across Elk river, which he or
dered cut down and fired. His order was par
tially prevented by the vigilance.of some of
the citizens. The bridge, however, was so
weakened as to render it useless. Many of
the more moderate of the secessionists are as
bitter towards Wise as the Union men. Many
talk about shooting him even some that
were in his army. Many of his followers'and
adherents have left the country, now that he
has gone ; others are ready to swear allegiance,
while others ask to be left alone. They say
tbat this wanton destruction of property is
more than they bargained for. Many honora
ble and worthy men have been carried to Rich
mond for expressing Union sentiments, some
of whom have large families depending on
them for sustenance. A great amount of suf
fering must be the result. The most violent
of the rabble secessionists have gone with
Wise's army, and many of their families aro
in a distressed and destitute condition. All
bands are sick to death of secession. It has
been a terrible thing to them.
AccrsT 8. From Missouri we learn that tho
cavalry "charge heretofore reported was made
by a scouting party sent out to ascertain if the
enemy were approaching, after our troops bad
encamped for the night at Dug Springs. See
ing a regiment of infantry coming along the
road, the Lieutenant ordered a charge, which
resulted in killing thirty rebels and wounded
forty. The charge was notintended by Gen.
Lyon- A large body of tho enemy's cavalry
which had taken position on high ground to
observe our position and strength was dis
persed by a few shells from Totten's battery,
wounding some thirty of them. On Saturday
morning our forces moved forward cautiously,
and on approaching Curran the rebels, to the
number of three thousand, were seen posted
on a hillside southwest of that place. Gen.
Lyon immediately formed his army for battle,
and gave order to advance. As our column
was approaching a piece of timber to flank the
enemy, Capt. Du Bois's battery opened a fire
on the rebels, and they retreated in haste. It
is not knocn whether any of the enemy were
killed on Saturday. We did not lose a man,
and took several prisoners. General Lyon
with his forces had fallen back on Springfield,
having reached there on Monday morning, and
was preparing for a vigorous defence. The
rebels were advancing by four different roads.
Price. Rains and Parsons are said to have 20,
000 men under their command and Ben Mc
Cullough forty-five hundred, the latter well
armed and effective troops.
A band of rebels, numbering from 1,000 to
1,200, made an attack upon the camp of the
Union men at Athens, Mo., on Monday morn
ing last, at 5 o'clock. There was a considera
ble amount of arms and ammunition for the
United States troops stored in Athens, under
guard of the troops composing this camp,
United States volunteers, numbering about
three hundred and fifty, under command of
Captain Moore. The fighting lasted about an
hour, when the rebels retreated. In the mean
time Captain Moore having been reinforced by
about one hundred and fifty men from Cen
tralia, Iowa, on the opposite side of the river,
gave chase after the rebels for about a mile
and a half, killing one of their number, taking
eighteen prisoners; and capturing tbirty-one
horses and two secession flags. Several of the
rebels were wounded in the chase after the
battle, and six or eight rebels were found dead
on the field. In the afternoon the bearer of a
rebel flag of truce to the Union camp admitted
that they carried off fourteen killed, and tbat
as many were wounded and missing.
The ravages and outrages of the rebels in
the part of Fairfax county, Virginia, which
they bave recovered, since tbe battle of Bull
Run, are almost increditable. All the male
residents, regardless of age, who decline to
enroll themselves in tbo rebel army, are seiz
ed and sent as prisoners to Manassas or Rich
mond. Neither age, nor infirmity, nor sex,
affords any security against insult or abuse.
A resident of Vienna, who exerted himself in
relieving the wounded in the affair near that
point some weeks ago, and brought the dead
to Alexandria in his wagon, has been seized
and imprisoned for bis humanity, and bis little
son, only eight years old, is kept a prisoner
in the rebel camp, and not allowed to seo even
his mother, for having expressed tbe hope that
the treatment of bis father would be avenged.
Another flag of truce, born by Captain Jones,
of the rebel army, came to our lines to-day.
It was met by tbe scouts of Colonel McCunnrs
brigade, near Alexandria, and received by tbe
Commander of the brigade. The bearer of
the flag brought also about three hundred
letters from tbe Union prisoners at Richmond
and Manassas to their friends here. Tbey
state tbat they are closely guarded, but are
kindly treated. The valuables taken from the
body of Colonel Cameron, including bis watch,
signet ring and dagnerreotypes of his wife and
daughter, were also brought to Colonel McCunn
with the information that the grave of Colonel
Cameron had been carefully marked, so tbat
his friends may eventually recover the body.
August 9. Hampton has been burned by
Gen. Magruder in his advance with tbe rebel
forces. Scouts and fugitives yesterday morn
ing brought word of the approach of a large
Confederate force from Yorkto vn. These ru
mors were confirmed at 5 p. m. by E. A. Ma
bew, a native of Maine, but resident of Geor
gia until impressed into service, who furnish
ed an account of the expedition. Mr. Mahew
has been stationed at Yorktown since the 1st
of June. On Friday last Colonel (now Gen.)
Magruder left Yorktown with a force of 7,000
men, including 200 cavalry and 8 pieces of ar
tillary. Pait of tbe troops were from Wil
liamsburg. On Monday night they encamped
at Great Bethel which bad been completely
deserted. On Tuesday night tbey advanced
towards Hampton and at noon took up a posi
tion on Back river some three miles from tbe
town, where Mahew managed to escape
through a corn field, and by swimming a
couple of streams reached the fortress. He
says tbe object of this expedition was to draw
out our forces to attack Camp Hamilton near
Newport News, it practicable, and at least to
destroy Hampton, so as to prevent ns from
using it for winter 'quarters. Gen. Bntler at
once repaired to this end of Hampton bridge,
where be remained until four o'clock. Col.
Weber erected a barricade near the Hampton
end of the bridge and placed a strong guard
at various pointson this side of the creek. A
few minutes past midnight Gen. Magruder,
with about 500 confederates, some of them be
longing in Hampton, entered tbe town and
immediately fired tbe buildings with torobes.
Tbe greater part of tbe five hundred bonses
were built of wood and as no rain has fallen
lately, tbe strong south wind soon produced a
terrible conflagration. Thero were perhaps
twenty white people and double tbat number
of negroes remaining iri the town from inabil
ity to remove, some of whose bouses were
fired without waking the inmates. Tbe reb
els gave Carey Jones and his wife, both of
them aged and infirm, but fifteen minutes to
remove a few articles ot furniture to the gar
den. Several of the whites and also ot ne
groes were hurried away to be pressed into
the confederate service.- Wm. Scofield, a
merchant, took refuge in a swamp above town.
A company of rebels attempted to force the
passage of tbe bridge, but were repulsed with
a loss of three killed and six wounded. The
fire raged all night. The greater part of tbe
confederates withdrew toward morning, and at
noon to-day, bat seven or eight buildings
were left standing. The .destruction or the
town was a wanton act of cruelty to resident
Unionists. Gen. Magrnder has encamped
near New Market Bridge. . He will hardly
venture to attack Newport News. Mr. Mahew
stated tbat there have been about 7,000 rebels
stationed at Yorktown. Some ten days ago a
battalion came down to tbe ontskirts of Hamp
ton and carried away 180 negroes. Provis
ions are abundant at Yorktown, and most ot
the regiments are receiving new nniforms for
the winter campaign.
The Queen of England recently gave a con
cert at Buckingham Palace in honor of her
daughter and guest the Princess of Prussia.
When all those who had been invited were
arrived, the Queen, instead of entering the a
partment where th-y expected her, ordered a
carriage, and taking with her one of her
daughters, the Princess Helena, went to pass
the night in a country house she owns at Rich
mond, from which she returned next day.
Prince Albert did the honors of the conceit,
to the great surprise of the guests, for whom
this singular incident of course furnished a
theme of conversation during: the evening.
Speculations respecting tho Queen's sanity
arc very common in England.
Liect. Selden and His Sailors. We have
positive information, from a source in which
we confide, that the sailors who were taken
prisoners with Lieut. Selden, U. S. N., at
Cedar Keys, Florida, when on their way to
Key West in charge of prizes, have been
brought North with the Florida regiment to
which their captors belonged. On their way
every effort was made to indnce them t en
list in the Rebel service, put not a man of
them could be seduced The men told our in
formant that Lieut. Selden, who is a Virgin
ian, is a traitor, and lost the prizes purposely.
He was free on parole ; but the men were kept
in strict confinement.
