Fiao Presentation.Oo Tuesday tbo 9th
instant, Gov. Curtin presented to the Penn
sylvania Reserve Corps, the flags which were
prepared by direction of the last Legislature.
The "Society of the Cincinnati" bad made a
donation of $500, In aid of the war; which it
was thought best to use in the purchase of
flags for the Pennsylvania troops, and the
money was accordingly appropriated to that
purpose. The flags were presented by Gov.
Cnrtln to the Colonels of the several regi
ments, who received their -colors with proper
acknowledgments; after which the Governor
addressed the troops. II is speech was full of
genuine patriotism and true eloquence. Gen.
IfcCall responded to the Governor's speech hi
tabalf of the soldiers ; assuring his Excellen
cy that they would "bear these Stars and
Stripes proudly in the conflict, and with the
aid of the 'God of Battles' would place the
banner of our State amongst the foremost in
the canso of -the Constitution aad the Union
of our common country." ' r
Late in the afternoon, tho President, Secre
tary Cameron, Gov. Curtin, and other distin
guished personages drove across the Chain
Bridge, where Gen'. McClellan gave them a sa
lute from his new battery ; after .which they
proceeded to the new and immense fortifica
tions Just completed, ilete the President
rose in his carriage and asked if there were
any Pennsylvanians present 7 "Yes, yes,"
was the response, lie then said : "I beg to
introduce to you your Chief Magistrate Gov.
Curtin." The Governor rose In his carriage,
and mado a respectful bow. . Mrs. Curtin was
next Introduced, and acknowledged the com
pliment. "And here," said the President,
pointing to Secretary Caraeroa, "you have
your old fiieod; aod there, (facing Gen. Mc
Clellan) you. have the greatest man of them
all." The introductions were received with
entbuslactie cheers. Gen. McClelUn wish
ing to become acquainted with his men, grat
ified their desire to shake hands with him ;
each man had something cheering to say to
the General. One man said, "General, we
are anxious to wipe out Bull Run, hope you
will allow us to do it?" "Very soon, if the
nomy does not run," was the prompt re
sponse.. At last Captain Baker, of the Chi
cago cavalry corps, composing the escort, ap
pealed to the troops not to crowd tho General
too baid, or shake his hand too much, as be
fore he slept he had a long way to travel, and
much writing to do with the hand they were
shaking. lie promisod if they would fall back
that the General would say a few words to
them.. They instantly complied, when the
General, removing hi$ bat, spoke as follows .-
Soldiers: Wo have had our last retreat.
We have seen our last defeat. You stand by
roe and J will stand by you, and honce forth
victory will crown our efforts.
After which the distinguished party retired
being well pleased with their visit to the U-
nion fortifications beyond the Potomac. ,
"When any person be be friend or foe
wants to know where stands the Democracy of
Clearfield county in the present crisis, let him
be pointed to the proceedings of that meet
ing. Clearfield Republican, Sept. 11. ,
. "The proceedings of the Representative
Convention held at St. Marys on the 15th
inst., will be found on our first page. . . . Their
general sentiment, -we-tloubt not, is such as
will meet the approbation -cf a largo majority
of the people of the district." Clearfield Re'
publican, Aug. 28.
The first paragraph was published in refer
ence to the "Monster Meeting" resolutioii3,and
latter endorsing the "St. Mary's." . ;
The question naturally arises, which of the
tw are the true sentiments of the leaders of
the Breckinridge Democracy ? Their organ
says "we doubt not' by which expression they
certainly give an unqualified : assent to the St.
Mary's resolutions "their general sentiment
will meet the approbation of a large majority"
of the Democracy cf the district. These lea
ders, however, soon found that the dose was a
little too large for the honest Democrats, so
they bad to turn round and administer a coun
ter irritant or rather a soothing syrup in the
shape of a Legislative "prowieo," to wit, "so
But still, the endorsement by their organ re
mains on rucord. If they did not intend to
practice a two . handed game, why did they
not "disavow" the organ too 1 It would, at
least, have shown noma little consistency to
have done so. As the matter stands by a lit
tle greasing the "mersl.con" can be made to
ran "up or down" as necessity may require,
and tho unitiated can not -tell which of the
two they are swallowing.
"Thc small Pateiot Basd." We see by
some of tho Western papers, that John C.
Breckinridge, one of "the small patriot band,"
bas been making a speech in Kentucky. The
Louisville Courier says, that in the course of
bis remarks, "betook open ground against
the government and recommendud his bear
era to resist it by force ;" and "insisted that
Kentucky ought not to psy any portion of the
diiece tax, because it was levied to pay the
Interest on a debt nnconstitutioaally created.'.'
Mr. Burnett has also made a speech; in which
he took the very strongest position in favor of
the Southern Confederacy and against the
National Government.
Such is the loyalty of that "small patriot
band," whom a clique in this county endors
ed. Now, that the traitors have lost all hope
of precipitating Kentucky into the gulf of Se
cession, they are showing their true colors.
Read ! Read I ! We find the following par
sgraph in the Clearfield Republican of Septem
berlltb, 1861:.. -
Keep it befc-be the People, that Daniel Liv
ingston, the present -candidate of the Kepub
licans for Sheriff of Clearfield county, was the
Know Nothing candidate for Auditor in 1854."
Kcnr it BEroie the People, also, that
James Bloom, one of the present Democratic
candidates for Associate Judge, was the Pres
ident of the meeting that nominated Mr. Liv
ingston for Auditor in 1854.
Keep it before the People, further, that
Dr. C. R. Early, one of the present Demo
jiratie candidates lor the Legislature, was one
of the most prominent and active Know Noth
ings io Elk county in 1854 ; and subject to or
ders of th"Grnd Instructor" of Cleirfed co.
Ost Patriot's or Traitora'!" In the
last speech delivered by Stephen A. Douglas
occurs this paragraph?
-But this is no time for a detail of causes
The conspiracy is now known. Armies have
been raised, war is levied to accomplish it.
There Is only two sides to the question. Ev
ery man must be for the United States or a
gaiiist it. There can be- no neutrals in this war ;
ONLY PATRIOTS, OR TRAITORS.
This is the whole story ; and there is no wis
taking "Patriots" or "Traitors." Neutrality
is treason and he is at heaqt a traitor who says
erdoes any thing to embarrass the Government
or discourage the people. Those whose gener
al leanings render it necessary for them to spe
cially affirm their patriotism, are not true men.
A real, hearty, honest patriot will be known
as such by every one. Ire neither says nor
does equivocal things; and hence is never
doubted or questioned. Those who are doubt
ed should bo. There is something in what
ttey say or do which compels suspicion.
Tbo lamented Douglas uttered a great truth
when he said : "There can be no neutrals in
this war ; only Patriots ox Traitors."
As Usual. The last number of the Breck
inridge organ, in this place, contains its usual
variety of bald assertions aod epithets; no
doubt thinking, that by such stuff they can
cover up their misrepresentations, and make
their readers believe that it is argument. It
won't do, however. The lye was a little too
strong it 1ms eaten the surface off, and the
cheat is left "bare-naked" to the gaze. You
had better overhaul that pondrous six-shooter
before you try another pop.
To ocr Patrohs. A number of our friends
havirg expressed a wish to-pay us in grain,
we desire to say to others, that we will take
Wheat, Rye, Corn, Oats or Buckwheat, in
payment of accounts. And to those at a dis
tance, who owe ua for one or more years on
the paper, we would say, that the approaching
Court will afford them a good opportunity to
send the amount of their subscriptions, if
they do not come to town themselves. Will
our friends remember this ? We shall see.
IIow is it 1 The editors of the Clearfield
Republicans in their last issue have an item,
"Keep it before tho People that Daniel Liv
ingston was the Know Nothing candidate for
Auditor in 1854 ;" If that is discreditable to
Mr. L., what will the people think of a Sher
iff candidate who at a Camp Meeting will raise
objections to a minister preaching a Union
sermon ; as it Is reported, that Mr. Perks did
a short time since in Boggs township ?
Godet for Ootgber. This world renowned
Lady's Magazine is again on hand, and con
tains more than the usual number of engrav
ings. Godey is always ahead ; all others, on
ly follow after. The October number con
tains 66 engravings ; among them a six figure
colored fashion plate and steel engraving,
besides a large number of patterns, and tho u-
sual variety of choice reading. The price of
tho Book is $3 per year. Address, L. A.
Godey, Philadelphia, Pa.
The "Monster" Meetino. The last Clear
field Republican terms their meeting on tho
2d instant, a ''Monster Mass Meeting."
Well, we presume, no one will deny the
Monster, for certainly it was a very unnatural
production; at least, if it is to be judged from
the amount of renom and vituperation that was
ejected on that occasion.
- All Up with the Rebels in Missouri. It
is pretty well ascertained, says the St. Louis
Repulican of Monday, that a large portion of
the troops lately concentrated at .New Madrid,
from Tennessee and other quarters, have been
withdrawn, bomo of them were removed to
Hickman, Kentucky, and others to Tennessee
The only force of any strength in the South
east is under the com riband of Jeff. Thompson,
and he can very soon be disposed or by the
army which may move in the same direction
The trnth is, many men who have engaged in
this enterprise are getting heartily sick of the
business. We bear of some gentlemen who
have recently returned from Price's army
who are disgusted with the aspect of things
there, and who will be content to remain faith
ful to the Union, if they will not be molested
for past offences. They are more than ever
aisgusiea witn jscksou's conduct. JNo one
seems to know anything of his whereabouts,
but it is quite certain he is not in the State,
while be is requiring his followers to risk
their lives and property in his cause.
Reinforcements have been sent to Fort II at

Sept. 11. The line of rebel butteries at Ac
quia creek extend about six miles. Not long
since a fleet of twelve or fifteen vessels an
chored off the creek, and from the movements
on shore, we suppose the rebels expected an
attack. As the night closed m we could dis
cover but two or three batteries, but at dawn
the- next morning we could rdistinctiy pee a
long line of batteries, extending at least'four
or five miles. They had been erected before,
but were concealed by the trees and bushes in
front of them. As they now expected to use i
them, during jtbe night ?they cleared away in
front, thus leaving their works exposed. These
batteries appear in good condition, and are
mounted with rifled cannon ;' i'roui one of
which, a few days ago, ;they threw asbell a
cross the Potomac, a distance of about 4 railes.
They have also several batteries of flying ar
tillery with two howitzers, one titled and three
other brass pieces, and titty horses. The force
at the creek is about 15,000, and bold and de
fiant, and appear ready for action.
. The gunboats Conestoga and Lexington,
-while on a reconnoitring trip down the Missis
sippi yesterday, encountered a rebel battery
of sixteen guns at Lucas Bend and the Mis
souri shore, and two rebel gunboats. They
silenced the shore battery, disabled the rebel
gunboat Yankee, and would have captured
her had she not been supported by the other
boat. Oue df the'Connestoga'a men was slight
ly injured. The lossof-the rebels is unknown.!
Twenty of our scouts were to-day driven into
Col. Ogleby's camp by two hundred rebels.
There was no loss on our side. Fifteen thou
sand rebels are in camp at Columbus. They
were largely reinforced yesterday. - ;
Eight prisoners were sent to St. Louis this
morning. They were captured in a skirmish
bettveen the iiouie Guard and the rebels at
Dougal's Prairie, in Gasgonade county Mis
souri. Two of the rebels were killed, and in
another skirmish the same day ten or more of
the rebels were killed, and thirty-two horses
captured at another place near Cuba. Two
scouts were taken with Provost Marshal Mc
Kinstry's passes in their pockets.
A wounded rebel picket guard, taken by our
men beyond the Chain Bridge, siys that since
the affair at Ilatteras Inlet, thirteen regiments
have left the rebel army of the Petotaac aud
gone home.
Sept. 12. A large party started out at 7 o'
clock yesterday morning from tho vicinity of
Chain Bridge, under tbo command of Col.
Stevens of the New York Highlanders. - It
consisted of several detached companies of in
fantry, a company of cavalry, and Captain
Griffin's batter)'. As our skirmishers advanc
ed, the enemy's pickets retired beyond Lew
inville, about seven miles beyondCuain Bridge.
Our troops bavieg accomplished the object of
their errand, connected with the reconnoisance
of the country, began to retrace heir steps,
when a large force of confederates consis
ting ot two or three regimeuts of infantry.
and Col. Stewart's regiment of Virginia
cavalry, with a battery of four pieces, were
seen approaching from the direction ot Falls
Church, evidently with a view ot cutting them
otf and preventing their return to their camp.
Line of battle was formed by the enemy's
forces, aud the confederate battery opened
with shell, which was replied to by Griffin's
battery. Several rounds were fired on each
side, when onr troops ceased firing for about
twenty minutes, in order to give the enemy
an opportunity, which they did not embrace,
of meeting them on the open field the Con
federates being for the greater part concealed
in the woods..- Gen. Smith, commanding the
division to which these troops are attached ar
rived on tho ground shortly after the engage
ment commenced, and at once assumed the
command. Our forces, on resuming opera
tions brought into action a 32 pounder, the
shells from which soon silenced the Confeder
ates' battery. The gun was then directed to
wards the cavalry, which appeared on the
road leading to Falls Church, and soon sent
them flying a number reeling from their sad
dles and falling to the ground as the shells ex
ploded in their midst. The command was
then gUen to withdraw, and our column
fell back in good order to Chain Bridge, reach
iug there late in the afternoon. Two officers,
one a Major and the other a Captain, iu Col.
Stewart's Virginia regiment, were taken pris
oners by our forces. They refused to give
their names. Two dead bodies were recover
ed from the Lewinsville field. Lieut. Han
cock was reported killed ; but the body not
having been found the presumption is he
was taken prisoner. A supposed spy was ar
rested near Chain Bridge and taken to head
quarters heavily ironed. Gen. McClellan ex
pressed himself highly gratified with the gal
lant conductof the soldiers in the collission
near Lewinsville, and it increases the confi
dence of the soldiers. He also stated that we
would have no more Bull Run affairs.
Union men from Martinsburg report that
the rebels have taken up the entire track of
the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad from that
town to North Mountain, a distance of nine
miles and transported the rail, etc., to Win
chester for the extension of the Alexandria,
Louden and Hampshire Railroad from Straus
burg to that : point. The track torn up was
lately relaid by the company. At Duftield's
station on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad the
rebels were busily engaged iu taking down
seven or eight new and first class locomotives
for transportation to Winchester. These lo
comotives had but recently been put upon the
route. Some ol them are ot the heaviest
kind, and were probably spared by tho rebels
in the recent conflagration ou account of
their adaptability to transporting troop trains
in Virginia.
Dr. Franklin, surgeon of General Lyon's
brigade, arrived from Springfield, Missouri,
and reports that all the federal wounded remain
ing at that place have been retained by order
ot the rebel commander, and are held as host
age for the safety of the secessionists now in
the bands of the federal authorities. Dr.
Franklin was told that for every rebel shot or
hung, under Fremont's proclamation, one of
our wounded soldiers would be shot. Capt.
Kidd, of the rebel army, arrived 'last night
with a nag of truce. It is conjectured that he
brings a proposition tor an exchange ot our
wounded at Springfield for all the secession
prisoners now in the hands of the federal mil
itatry authorities throughout the State. -
In view of the increasing importance of
Fortress Monroe as the basis of offensive oper
ations against the rebels, there is to be a large
increase in tne military and naval forces
There was heavy firing this morning on Sew
ell's Point, caused by the rebels trying the
range of new guns mounted on their batteries.
A deserter states that the rebel force there
numbers about 2,000 men. Quarter Master
Tallmadge is making arrangements to quarter
the contraband slaves at Old Point in comfort
able wooden barracks outside the Fortress.
Two privates of De Kalb (New York) reel
ment fell into the bands ot the Confederate
pickets this morning, near Hunter's Chapel,
to the right ot .Ball's uross-rioaas.
Sept. 13. A battle commenced between the
Federal troops and the enemy at 8 o'clock on
Tuesday afternoon, near Sammtrville. 'Gen.
Rosecrans, after taking a reconnoisance, found
Floyd's rebel army 5,000 strong, with sixteen
field pieces, to be entrenched in a powerful
position on the top of the mountain at Can n ax
Ferry, on the west side of Gauley river. The
rear and extreme of both flanks were inacces
sible. The front was masked by heavy forests
and close jungles. Col. Lytftes' 10th Ohio
Regiment of Benham's Brigade was in advance
and drove a strong detachment of the enemy
out of their camp, this side of the position,
the state of which was unknown. Shortly af
terwards his scouts, consisting of four com
panies, suddenly discovered themselves in the
face Of parapet battery and a long line of pali
sades for riflemen, when the battle opened
fiercely.? The remainder of the 10th and 13th
Ohio regiments were then brought into action
successively by Gen. Benham, and the 12th
Ohio regiment afterwards by Capt. Hartsun,
whose object was an armed reconnoisance.
The enemy played upon our forces terrifically
with'rausketry, canister and shell. - Col. Lyt
tle led several companies of Irishmen to charge
the 'battery, when he was brought down by a
shot -in the leg., Col. Smith's 13th Ohio en
gaged the enemy on the left, and 3ol. Lane's
12th. Ohio directly in the lrout. Loi. Lane
fell dead at tho head of his regiment, early in
the hottest of the fire, by receiving a ball in
the forehead. Captain McMullin's howitzer
battery, and Captain Snyder's two field pieces,
meantime, were got into the best position
possible under the circumstances, and soon
silenced two ot -trie reoel guns, xne nre
slackened at intervals, but grew more furious
as night approached. The tierman Brigade
was led gallantly into action by Col. McCook,
under the direction of Adjutaut General Hart
suti ; but, after a furious tight of three hours,
darkness compelled the recall of the troops,
and the men laid on their arms within a short
distance of the enemy ready to resume the
contest next morning. When the morning
came, however, our scouts reported that Floyd
had inglocie-usly ed during the flight, stnkmg
the boats in the Tiver in his rear, and destroy
ing the temporary bridge he had made when
he first crossed to occupy the position. The
turbulence aed depth of the river, and the ex
haustion of our troops made it impossible to
follow the fugitive rebels. So hasty was his
flight that be left behind hi3 camp equipage,
wagons, horses, large quantities of aruunition
and fifty head of catUe. Our loss Is only hi
tuen killed and about seventy wounded, gen
erally flesh wounds. The rebel's loss is not
ascertained, as they carried their dead and
wounded across the river during the night,
but it was certainly very serious. Capt. Mc
Groaty, ot Cincinnati, Captain McMullin and
Lieut. Snyder, of Ohio, are among the woun
ded, but not dangerously. Twenty-five men
of Col. Tyler's regiment, who were taken pris
oners by General Floyd at Cross Lane, were
recaptured by .our tioops. Gen. Floyd's per
sonal baggage, with that of all his officers,
was also taken. Gen. Benham's brigade, which
suffered most, was commanded by him in per
son, and Col. McCook also led his brigade in
to action. Maj. Gen. Rosencrans, Gen. Ben
ham, Cols. McCook, Lyttie bik! Lowe, aud
Captains Hartsuff, Snider, McMullin and Burk
and other officers displayed particular acts of
personal gallantry. The troops engaged were
exclusively from Ohio aod all fought with a
bravery worthy of veterans. Our loss will
probably amount to twenty killed and one
hundred wounded. The enemy's loss is not
ascertained, but from the report of the pris
oners must have been very considerable.
A dispatch from Gen. Pope, received from
Ilunnewell, Missouri, on the North Missouri
railroad, states that be made anight march on
the rebels under Gen. Green, last Sunday,who,
however got notice of his approach, but be
was successful in causing the dispersion of a
3,000 rebel force, who ltt behind them much
of their baggage, provisions and forage; also
the public property seieed by Gen. Green, at
Shellbina. : Uen. rope s infantry were too
much fatigued to pursue them. The horse
men, however, followed in pursuit for ten or
fifteen miles until the enemy were completely
scattered and dispersed. The railroad east of
Brookfield is now open, and no more secession
camps will t e made within twenty miles. A
messenger from Sidallia states that Capt.
Jamisou s Kansas Jay Hawkers baa defeated
the notorious Dr. Staples, at the head of. five
hundred rebels, completely routing them aud
killing their leader, i his will restore peace
to Peltis and ibe surrounding counties, as
Staples and McGoflln, who were captured some
days sinco, were the principal instigators of
secessionist!! in that section. It is also repor
ted that Coi. Marshal's Illinois Cavalry have
captured rebels under Capt. Skelley with two
field pieces.
Capt. Foster, of Col. Manhen's regiment, of
the Franklin County Home Guards, brought
in seven prisoners last night who were direct
lroni Uaraee s army, liiey reported that a
fight had occurred in Hardee's camp between
the Missourians and . Louisiauians, in refer
ence to the conduct of the Missourians in the
battle near Springfield, the Louisianians charg
ing the Missourians with cowardice, and treat
ing them as cowards in the camp. The Lou
isianans charge that while they were fighting,
the Missourians actually stole their horses and
fled. Geu. Hardee was falling back on Poca
hontas, and the Missourians were dispersing.
These men left Hardee's camp with the inten
tion of returning home under Gov. Gamble's
proclamation, and becoming . good citizens;
but were informed here that the Governor's
proclamation w as abridged by the declaration
of martial law.
Sept. 14. Four vessels had run into the
Ilatteras Lihit with English colors, under the
supposition that that place still belonged to
the rebels, the United States flag having been
temporarily hauled down. Pilots were offered
the vessels, and every facility for getting in.
They did not discover their mistake until too
late. Two of the vessels, the Susan Jane and
Harriet Ryau, were from tho British Provinces,
and bad valuable cargoes of molasses, shoes
and clothing. Twelve prisoners taken from
the prizes have been brought to Fortress Mon
roe. Our troops at the Iulet have mounted all
the guns and rendered those effective which
had been spiked by the Confederates before
bey surrendered. :'
What Tuet Sat Themselves. I regret to
be compelled, writes a Richmond correspon
dent of the Memphis jlppeal, to give you a
most unfavorable account of the health of our
troops now iu the field. The inaction of the
several bodies of men in different portions of
the eomnionwealth, for three weeks past, must
be attributed chiefly to the crowded state of
the hospitals. In the peninsula the typhoid
fever has been prevaleut, though happily not
in a malignant form. At Manasses and Aquia
Creek, also, this malady has prostrated a con
siderable number. In Richmond, or rather in
the camps around it, fifty per cent, of the
troops have been stricken down with . the
measles. Private hospitals for the reception
and better treatment of the invalids have been
opened from day to-day, until every, street,
almost every square of the city, has its long
sick list, and the ladies are worn out in their
attentions : to : the sufferers. They do not
weary in the spirit of their good work ; but
excessive watching will exhaust their physical
powers. As yet there has been no great fatal
ity among the thousands of cases, but just as
soon as a dozen have been discharged as well
from a hospital, their beds have been filled,
and tbere is no diminution in the number of
new eases.
TO THE DEMOCRATS OF CLEAEFIELD
COUNTY , ,
We. the nndersiened Democrats, Relieving
that the only way to gain an honorabie peace,
and to preserve the Union, is to utterly crush
this wicked "rebellion by the military and mor
al powers of the government that it is the
duty of all good citizens, without respect to
party, in this hour ot peril, to rally to the sup
port of the government against the assaults of
traitors, wueiner armed, or in our miusigiving
aid and comfort, and that any half-way policy
or pretended scheme of compromise with the
rebels at this time is only calculated to en
courage rebellion, divide the Union, and dis
grace us as a nation; Aud believing further,
that the patriotic course of such Democrats as
Hon, Joseph Holt of Kentucky, lion. Andrew
Johnson erf Tennessee, Gen. Butler of Massa
chusetts, Gen. Dix.aDd Daniel o. Urckinson
of New York, andtheiate Stephen A. Douglas
of Illinois, -in giving their powerful aid to the
present. Administration in suppressing treason
and rebellion, merits the approval and imita
tion of all true Democrats. We, therefore,
utterly repudiate and spit upon a great portion
of the platform raid down by the late Represen
tative Convention held in the Borough of St.
Mary's, hjk cottuty, by a few would be leaders
of our party who in their zeal to destroy the
Republican party would risk the destruction
of this glorious government, and call upon the
Democrats of Clearfield county who would not
have fastened upon them and their party the
odium of disloyalty and treason, and who
agree in sentiment with us, to unite in taking
measures te have persons to represent -us in
our Legislative assemblies "who are in favor of
maintaining their government ai d the Union
(no matter what party or person for the lime
being administers that government) at all
hazards and at every sacrifice, and who are
opposed to treating with armed rebels and
traitors on any terms
