CLEARFIELD. PA.. NOV.27. 1801.
The Ea8tebh Shore." Sinco tbe news
that four thousand of our troops hare gone to
the "Eastern Shore" to drive out a couple of
thousand rebels and protect the Unionists
from being drafted into tho secesb service, it
becomes Interesting to know exactly where
the locality is. The "Eastern Shore" is ap
plied to tbe eastern part of Maryland and the
esstern part of Virginia to the south of Mary
land, which are divided from tbe mainland by
the broad Chesapeake Bay. The Virginia part
runs to a point at Cape Charles, dividing tho
bay from the ocean, and is composed of tbe
counties of Accomac and Northampton, tbe
former Inclining to be loyal, and the latter or
more southern, decidedly secesh. The
greater portion of the rebel troops that fled out
of Accomac county, Va., on the recent ap
proach of 4,000 of General Dix's command,
via, Worcester county Maryland, made tracks
for Northampton county, Va., tho lower end
of the "Eastern Shore" peninsular. ' A ma
jority of the rebels in both these counties have
laid down their arms, and many of them have
taken the oath of allegiance.
Becomixo Alabmed. Tbe Louisville Jour
nal says : ' We hear of more reports from the
confederate states than the booming of victo
rious cannon. The secession press is alarmed
and lets out wholesome truths.' The Raleigh,
(N. C.) Standard declares that, "unless the
movement (of our naval expedition) is stopped
at once by the strong arm of the confederate
states, more than one half the counties of this
state will be attached to the Black Republican
government before tbe Union Congress
meets." It seems too that the public officers
in North Carolina are a.i ready to secede from
accession as tbe people, lor tho same paper
says : "It is very evident that tbe state au
thorities will never make a move in that di
rection, owing to the reason that they are in
tbe same boat wub tbe Unionists." ibis is
cheering.
J. P. Bksjamis. This gentleman, who Is
Secietaiy of War under the rebel Government,
. is "a member of a prominent social club in
New York city. Since he joined the enemies
of the country, repeated attempts have been
made by loyal members of the club, to have
; him expelled : but as yet the resolution has
been laid upon the table by a vote of tbe so
ciety : The case was finally let rest, with ihe
hope that his dues would not (be paid, when
bis connection with the society would cease
but lo ! when tbe time came round bis dues
were paid and he still preserves bis rights of
; membership." The club must be strongly
tinctured with -southern sympathies, or they
: would not retain the traitor as a member.
Graxd Military Review. A grand mili
tary review ot our troops took place near
Washington, on Thursday the 21st November.
This was tbe most extensive review that has ta
ken place ; being composed of 70 regiments of
infantry, 3 regiments of cavalry, and 17 bat
teries of artillery, comprising. Gen's McCall's
Ileinlzleruan's.Smith's, Franklin's, Blenker's,
Porter's and M'Dowell's divisions. Tbe Pres
ident, Cabinet, Gcn.McClellan and other dis
tinguished personages were present. The
line was formed in'a semi-circle, and was four
miles -in length. The great review was wit
nessed by twenty thousand persons.
Mason ax d Slidell. Much speculation con
(, tinues to be indulged in relation to the Mason
and Slidell question. So far as can be ascer
. tained tho Minister of her Britannic Majesty's
. Government has taken noaction whatever upon
r the subject,but will probably await instructions,
Nor has there been even an irformal conver
sation between him and the ptoper department
.concerning it. Those who are intimately
acquainted with Liord Lyons believe that in
this as in other matters he has observed his
'usual discretion in refraining from premature
expressions of opinion.
The Battle or Buix Run. Gen.Patterson,
of PhiIadeIpbia,whose mismanagement at Har
per's Ferry and in the neighborhood of Win
Chester, it is generally believed, lost us tbe
' battle of Bull Run, has made his defence and
throws the blame on General Scott. As Gen.
" Patterson waited'four months, and until Gen?
' Scott Lad gone to Europe, before making hit
, statement, it may be prudent to wait until
. General Scott's reply is received, before the
-: public accept an exparte defence so long de-
- fayed.

the organ of Colonel Rowley's regiment, says
f o its last issue " We won't go home 'till the

NORTH CAROLINA SECEDES AGAIN.
From tha N. Y. Tribune.
Hater as Ihlet, N. C. Nov. 18. The pro
visional State government for North Carolina,
tbe establishment of which has been in con
templation for; months past, was formally
instuted to-day by a convention of delegates
and proxies representing forty-five counties of
tbe Mates.
The following ordinances were unanimously
adopted :
"By the People of the State of North Carolina,
as represented in Convention, at JIatteras,
Monday, Nov. 18, 1861.
"Be it ordained by this Convention, and ft is
hereby ordained and published by authority of
the same :
"I. That this Convention, on behalf of the
people of North Carolina, and acknowledging
the Constitution of the United States of Amer
ica as the supreme law of the land, heteby de
clares vacant all State offices, tbe incumbents
of which have disqualified themselves to hold
them by violating their oatbs to support the
Federal Constitution.
"11. That the office of Governor of this
Commonwealth having been vacated by the
death of John W. Ellis, and by the active
treason to the Union of his constitutional suc
cessor, Acting Governor Clark, therefore Mar
ble Nash Taylor be hereby appointed and de
clared Provisional Governor of North Carolina.
"III. That the Constitution of this State
and its amendments, together with the statutes
and laws thereof, as contained in the Revised
Code put in operation January 1, 1856, be
declared continued in full force; also such
subsequent acts of the General Assembly as
were not adoDted in contravention of the
National Constitution, or in derogation of its
authority.
"IV.. Tbatthe ordinance of the Convention
which assembled at Raleigh on the 20th of
May last, proclaiming the Secession of this
Commonwealth from the Federal Union,' such
Secession being legally impossible, is of no
force or effect'; and said ordinance, together
with all other ordinances and acts of said Con
vention, or ot the General Assembly, made
and done in pursuance of tbe treasonable pur
poses of tbe conspirators against the Union, is
hereby declared ab initio null and void.
"V. That whereas it is desirable that this
State shall be represented in tbe Federal Con
gress, and maintain her due weight in the
councils of tbe Union .therefore the rroviston
al Governor be directed hereby to order special
elections, in accordance with chapter 69 of the
Revised Code, as soon as practically and expe
dient, jn any district or districts now unrepre
sented. And, in view of prevalence of armed
rebellion and disorder in many portions of
this Commonwealth, the Governor is hereby
directed to issue his certificates of election
upon presentation of such evidence as shall
satisfy him of the fact of an election.
"VI. That the Governor be authorized and
empowered .to fill such official vacancies by
temporary appointments, and to do such acts
as, in tho exercise of a sound discretion, he
may deem expedient for the safety and good
order ot tbe State."
The Convention has adjourned, subject to be
reassembled upon the call of the President.
Governor Taylor has issued his proclama
tion ordering an election for tbe Second Con
gressional District, to be held on Wednesday,
27th instant.
Tbe great seal 'of tho State in possession of
the Rev. Mr. Taylor, is a beautiiul and very
appropriate device. The Goddess of Liber'y,
representing tbe Union, bears in her hand a
scroll containing the federal Constitution, to
the benefits of which North Carolina, typified
by the Goddess Ceres, is suing to be admitted.
In the distance is a ship emblematic of the
commerce of the State.
Thus has another of the seceeded States for
mally returned to her allegiance. May God
speed tbe work now inaugurated in this good
old Commonwealth, until her whole people
shall be redeemed from rebel tyranny and
usurpation.
Rebel Testimony totue Efficiency or the
Blockade. Rebel aspirants for European re
cognition have carried to Europe formidable
schedules of vessels that have run the block
ade. They took good care, however, not to
mention that of the five hundred which they
pretended to count up, nine out of every ten
were mere insignificant row boats that dodged
about the rat-holes, ot the internal waters.
Here are some of tho gleams ot truth which
flash out through the New Orleans Crescent.
Coming from tbe source it does, the impor
tance of the testimony can hardly be over
rated:
"There has been much talk and a great
many comments on what has been termed run
ning the blockade. Reports and they will
prove to be simple reports say that five hun
dred and sixteen vessels have run tbe block
ade since tne toin oi May last, mis is a very
wild estimate, even if it is supported by returns
or slalemente in the departments at Richmond.
Tbe blockade was enforced on the mouths of
the Mississippi river on the 26tb day of May,
at which time there were fort sail of vessels
in this port outward bound, which were per
mitted to go to sea. The blockade commen
cea or Mobile and Jr ensacoia aoout ine same
time. Vessels were allowed to leave these
ports till the 8th of June. So far as New
Orleans is to be considered, the last arrivals
via Balize, -were on the 28th of May last
There have been some arrivals and departures
ot schooners from tbe bayous on the gulf.
There have been some coasting vessels on the
coast of Carolina evading the blockade ; but all
will not count up five hundred and sixteen
On tbe other band, tbe Hessian steamer South
Carolina has captured seventeen schooners in at
tempting to run tbe guantlet between New
Orleans and Texas ports. There have been
only three or four vessels from Euiope one
the Bermuda that bave successfully run tbe
blockade. Some few West India traders, have
met with success on the Carolina coast. It is
misleading foreign governments to make as
sertions of this character, that tbe blockade is
easily avoided, when not a vessel has entered
the port of New Orleans via the river for over
five months, and only one via the lakes Jrom
o reign port."
Sailing or the Stone Feet The stone
fleet, not, however, with pomp or banners
sailed from New London, Ct., Nov. 20th
Twelve or fifteen vessels departed from this
port, all bound south and all laden with stone
The crafts wero old whalers, some of tbe larg
est size, but a bard-looking set. They bave
spent their lives nudging tbe icebergs, and
bave been industrious in their vocation of
seeking material to illaminate the world .and
to make life tolerable at night to those who
slept not. An immense quantity of midnight
oil have they gathered in their day. They go
now to illustrate the ideas of commerce which
prevail in the darker portion, girt with sand
bars, of our disturbed republic. A screw Is
fixed in their bottom which can be worked
from the deck. When it is screwed out, tbe
water, in a stream as big as a man's leg
comes m, and the vessel is sunk. The stone
anchors it at tbe bottom. Our fleet is to be
joined outside by a like one from New Bed
ford, which will make the. whole number of
the vessels about thirty. Six thousand dollars
each have been paid by the government for
some of the besfrof these vessels. The fleet
will be coder the command of an old sea-dog
of whaling propensities, who has been appoint
ei commodore.
THE PRESIDENT AND A "SERVILE WAR.
From Forney's Philadelphia Press. ' '
Before Mr. Lincoln was elected President
tbe Southern politicians, aided by a number ot
sympathizers in tbe free States, predicted that
in tbe event of a Kepubliaan triumpu, an ap
peal would be made to tbe slaves of tbe South
to i ise against their masters, and that large
bodies of the free colored men of the North
would bo mustered Into the Federal army, for
the purpose ol awakening an answering sympa
thy among their brethern held in servitude.
Mr. Lincoln was elected. He was supposed to
belong to the ultra Republicans. He bad made
a memorable speech, in which be was quoted
as declaring that tbe country must eventually
be all free or all slaveand yet, from the day
of his inauguration, he has taken no step
which can be construed either into an attack
upon the institutions of the South, or iuto an
endorsement of the exaggerated construction
eiven to the platform upon which he stood.
Iii fact, the very responsibilities and troubles
of the position have made him an eminently
national Executive. Charged witn oeing a
sectional man, he has looked upon the whole
country', and has done no one thing which can
justly be regarded as favoritism for his own
particular region, or undeserved opposition to
the Southern States which so bitierly antagon
ized him.
Let us recount a few of his acts to show how
well he estimates his obligations and antici
pates his destiny." He waited long and patient
ly before accepting tbe awful reality ot a war
with tho South. He listened, with singular
indulgence, to the appeals and propositions ol
tho Peace Congress, and, even when Sumter
fell, he spoke of the Southern traitors in lan
guage of moderation and magnanimity. W ith
tbe fierce opposition of the pro-slavery leaders
rankling in his mind, and surrounded by the
bitter enemies of these men, he nevertheless
instructed tho chiefs in our military service to
do no act that might awaken the prejudices
of the Union slaveholders in the South against
his administration, and the cuuse in which the
American people are now engaged. General
Fremont, a man born in the South, whose
proclamation against slavery was received
with electrical enthusiasm by tho Republicans
of the Northwest, was advised by this Repub
lican President, Abraham Lincoln, to modify
bis proclamition, in accordance with tbe law
of tbe United States, and in response to the
appeals of such patriots as Holt and Critten
den of Kentucky, and Gamble and Phelps of
Missouri. And what else 7 To prove that this
is not a war upon the institutions of slavery, we
need only call the attention of our readers to
the fact that whenever slaves have escaped
from their masters, and have gone into Union
camps instead of being assisted on their way
to Canada they have been detained, net to
work and an account kept of l heir labor, so
that they may be returned to their loyal own
ers, and in many cases hundreds have been
returned whenever their ownets have come
forward to prove their loyalty to the Constitu
tion, and their right to this description of
property.
So much for the accusation that one part ot
Mr. Lincoln's theory, and one object of the
present war, was an appeal to the servile pop
ulation ot the boulh. JN ow as to the charge
that the "free people of color were to be used
by the North : not only has no appeal been
made to the free people of color m the free
States, but nothing has been done to induce
them to rise in the slave States. In the Dis
trict of Columbia, and in the border State ol
Maryland, there are nearly forty thousand of
this class, and yet in all the capture or ptison-
ers no single free man of color has been taken
in arms. JNor bas any enort been made to in
duce them to enlist against the Southern peo
pie. H- e have repeatedly said that if Slavery is
destroyed in the South it will not be by any act of
Mr. Lincoln, or the rederal army, but wholly
because of the ingratitude and recklessness of the
rebel leaders themselves. The only iustance in
which the free colored people have been invok
ed to take arras has been that ot General Jack
son, when he called upon the free negroes of
Lonisiana to arm in defense ot New Orleans
General Jackson was a Southern man. He
was defending a Southern city, and, in mak
ing this appeal, be was defending the institu
tion of slavery. Mr. Lincoln has frequently
been asked to imitate tbi example ot Jackson.
What if he had followed this example, and is
sued a proclamation, copying tho words ol the
following memorable proclamation, issued
onlv a few weeks before the great victory on
the plains of Chalraet, in January, 1815 1 It is
significant that, in all the charges against the
present Republican Chief Magistrate, he has
never issued such a proclamation as the ful-
lowing :
ANDREW JACKSON.
Proclamation to the free colored population of
Louisiana:
Throuzh a mistaken policy you have been
heretofore deprived of a participation in tbe
glorious struggle for national rights in which
our country is engaged. This no longer shall
exist. '
As sons of freedom you are now called upon
to defend our most inestimable blessing. As
Americans, your country looks with confl
dence to her adopted children for a valorous
support, as a faithful return for the advantagrs
enjoyed under her mild and equitable Govern
eriment. As fathers, husbands, and brothers
yon are summoned to rally around the stand
ard of the eagle to defend all which is dear in
existence.
Your country, although calling for your ex
ertions, does not wish you to engage in the
cause without amply remunerating you for the
services rendered. Your intelligent minds
are not to be lead away by false representa
tions. Your love ot honor would cause you
to despise tbe man who should attempt to de
ceive you. In the sincerity of a soldier and
the language of truth I address you.
To every noble-hearted, generous freeman
of color volunteering to serve during the pres
ent contest with Ureat Britain, and no longer,
there will be paid the same bounty, in money
and lands, now received by tbe white soldiers
of tbe United States, vis one hundred and
twent-fout dollars in money, and one hundred
and sixty acres of land. The non-commis
sioned officers and privates will also be en
titled to the-same monthly pay and daily ra
tions and clothes furnished to any American
soldier.
On enrolliug yourselves in companies, the
Major General commanding will select officers
for yonr government from your white fellow
citizens. Your non-commissioned officers will
be appointed from among yourselves.
Due regarde will be paid to tbe feelings of
freemen and soldiers. You will not, by being
associated with white men in the same camps,
be exposed to Improper comparison or unjust
sarcasm. As a distinct, independent battalion
or regiment, pursuing the path of glory, you
will, undivided, receive the applause and grati
tude of your countrymen. -
To assure you of tbe sincerity of my inten
tions, and my anxiety to engage your invalu
able services to our country, I have communi
cated my wishes to the Governor of Louisi
ana, who is fully informed as to the manner of
enrolment, and will give you every necessary
information on tbe subject or the address.
Headquarters, Andrew Jackson,

At Allen town, Pa., a young lady is subsis
ting like a chameleon on air, she not having
partaten or. any food for a period of nine

Port Royal Harbor. Port Royal is the
finest harbor on the South-eastern coast,' tbe
only excellent one between Norfolk and Key
West : its natural advantages infinitely trans
cend those of either Charleston or Savannah.
It is large enough for twenty armadas like
that now riding aecurely within it enclosure.
There are twenty-three feet of water on its bar
at low tide ; indeed, the presence inside ot
such vessels as the Great Republic the Wa
bash, and the Atlantic, whose superiors in size
and draught do not exist In the world, suffi
ciently attest the capacities of the bay. The
land is comparatively high, the climate salu
brious none of tbe malatia so common in
this region Infest the neighborhood ; on the
contrary, the South Carolinans have been wont
to resort to this spot in the summer Tor its
coolness and health provoking airs. Since
our arrival tbe weither has been as delicious
as at tbe North in tho balmiest days of June
or September.
The position of Rort Royal is equally ad
mirable, whether considered in a military,
naval, or political light. It is between Savan
nah and Charleston, and doubtles within a few
days tbe communication between these im
portant towns will be cut oil. The network of
inlaad.waters that extends in either direction
will enable us, if we choose, to transport
troops on gunboats, either to Savannah or
Charleston, without going within range or the
guns of rort Pulaski, at the former place, or
Sumter or Moultrie at the-latter. We can
thus attack the two largest towns in South
Carolina and Georgia at their weakest points,
besides being able to run up into the country
and annoy and frighten them wherever they
make a military, demonstration.
Vegetable Ricues or South Carolina.
An exploring expedition, in force, was made
from Hilton Head, on tbe 12th, through some
of the inland streams :
"They landed first at a spot known as Skull
Creek perhaps it is a golgotha ere now
where, at high water, a boat drawing twelve
feet of water can pass without obstruction.
Lieut. Holbrook had orders to seize all Quar
termaster and subsistence stores, and here he
sent ten in advance, and commenced a recon-
noisance. Going up the beach, which is alive,
fairly, with oysters and cultivated beds, ho
met a sloop called the Family of Savannah,
commanded by Cupt. Johnston, of Bluflton,
S. C, which laid high and dry at low tide.
His men dug under her, and althogh tide she
came away with a jerk lrom the Patkersburgh.
He found at this point a corn house, wite 2,-
000 bushels of corn in the car a white and
very fl'ie sort of corn, and by aid of old flour
barrels he managed, through perscverence
and good luck, to get aboard of tho propel-
lor 500 bushels. He also found 51 bales of
cotton in a shed, on what is called "Pinck-
ney's Island," owned by the widow Pinckney.
There is sufficient cotton here and on Pope
Island, unginned, to make, at a safe calcula-
tian, 3,000 bales, and corn-houses filled to the
top say 10,000 bushels in the ear."
A Fighting Negro. A correspondent of
tho Chicago Tribune, describing the battle of
Belmont, says : "During tbe thickest of the
fight the body servant of Gen. McClcrnand, a
mulatto named Vvilliam fata ins, of Decatur, ex
hibited conspicuous courage. He was close
by the General during the whole engagement,
cheering the soldiers and swearing that he
would shoot tlie first man that showed the
white feather. Many of us laughed heartily
at the fighting darkey, whilo the bullets flew
like hale about us. In the course of the fight,
a Captain of one of the companies was struck
by a spent ball, which disabled him from walk
ing. Tho mulatto boy, who was mounted,
road up to him and shouted out, "Captain,
if you can fight any longer for the old Stars
and Stripes take my horse and lead your men."
He then dismounted and helped the wounded
officer into his saddle. . When he was walking
away, a rebel dragoon rushed forward at the
officer to take him prisoner. The darkey
drew bis revolver and put a ball through tbe
rebel's head, scattering his brains all over the
horse s neck.
End or the Campaign in Northwestern
Virginia. It is understood that the troops
of Gen. Reynolds' command are being divis-
ioned for active service in other quarters of
the country. Advices from Cheat Mountain
are that several of tbe Ohio regiments are or
dered, and are now on their way to Kentucky.
Others, it is reported, will take up their line
of march in a few days for Gen. Kelley's head
quarters at Komney, and in connection with
the force already there, commence a forward
movement, in concert with an expected move
ment of the grand army of the Potomac.
The advance camp of Gen. Reynolds, now
holding the mountain pass, will retain their
position, and will make themselves snug and
comfortable and secure in their strongly en
trenched blockhouses. The rebels who have
heretofore threatened his advance, have pretty
much all disappeared.
Infantry Recruits. Some time ago, Mr.
Leonard Hawkins, of Starksboro', Vermont,
informed the President that his wife had pre
sented him with three sons at a birth, and ask
ing him to name them. The letter was refer
red to the Secretary of War, who named them
respectively,Abraham Lincoln,Gideon Welles
and Simon Cameron ; and in acquainting
the happy father of the fact, the Secretary ex
pressed the hope that the boys may lire to do
honor to their parents and their country. A
few days since the father replied to the letter,
stating that be had named the children as sug
gested, concluding by remarks complimentary
to the President and his Administration, and
expressing the boliet that they will prove
competent in the present political struggle.
A Modern Breast-Plate. Tho Scientific
Amerioan describes a breast-plate, which it is
said, isjbeing extensively worn by officers and
men in the federal army before Washington.
It is composed of thin spring steel, and is
worn between the cloth and lining ot a com
roon military vest. It has two leaves, which
lap at the edges when tbe vest is buttoned, so
as to oover the entire chest. It weighs only
three pounds and a half, and can be worn with
ease by any officer or soldier dnring tbe most
active exeroiae. It is very strong in propor
tion to its weight, and it oan resist the threat
of a sword or bayonet, and it will repel the
bullets of muskets and pistols at a range which
would otherwise be fatal to life.
A Romantic story is told by a cotemporary
of Captain Wiltces. In his younger years be
was smitten by tbe charms of a young lady,
wbo reciprocated bis affection, and they were
engaged to be married. But tbe young sailor
had a rival in tbe son of a wealthy tallow
chandler of New York, who influenced the
mind of the "stern parent" against his daugh
ter's lover, and the result was that Charlie
Wilkes was dismissed, and the lady became
Mrs. John Slidell. Charlie Wilkes went to
sea again, and never saw bis lady afterwards,
nor bis rival, till be received him as a prison-
or on uuaru uis nip.

VULCANITE BASE FOR
. ARTIFICIAL TEETH.
Attention Is especially called to this article, as a
substitute for gold in inserting teeth. Many per
son who bave trrd all kinds of metalio bases pre.
far this, and in those cases where it is applicable,
it will in a great measure heaam.e a substitute for
gold, ailycr or pjatina. Its chief advantages are,
cheapness, lightness apd perfect adoption to the
mouth ; it having a soft fleshy feel to the parts of
the mouth with which it conges in contact.
A. M. Hills is prepared tu put up teeth on tho
Vulcanite Base, with. Go,p,dyear's Patent Gum,
which is the only reliable preperatian, and can
only be had through their regvil&r agents. As
there are very many kinds of spurious gums in
use, of a very inferior quality It will be well for
persons desirous of procuring teeth on the Vulcan
ite Base to be well acquainted with the moral re
sponsibility of the Dentist they employ.
Persons desiring teeth will da well to call and
examine specimens, both jin apd put of the mouth.
Dr. Hills will always be found in bis office on
Friday and Saturday, unless notice appear j to the
oontrary, in the town papers, the previous week.

For more than twenty years, this journal ha la
bored in what its conductors, have felt to be ihw
cause of Humanity. Justice and Freedom, eadean
oring to meliorate the condition of the op pre J
and unfortunate, to honor and encourage ocfi
exertion in whatever sphere, and, to prorauU It
all means the moral, intellectual and material ad
vancement of our country. It has aimed ta al
right rather than pvpular. and to epou at
commend to-day tbe truth that others may sot t
willing to accept till to-morrow. In f ursiai
this courfc, mistakes have doubtles born ru As
and faults committed ; but, having in all xlitf
incited our readers to tbink and juJe fr them
selves rather than adopt blindly our oan or eth
ers conclusions, we believe we may fairly claim
for this journal the credit of having qu!iiH id
readers to detect and expose even its o- ti.u.i.
To develop tbe minds of the young by the an'.

through free grants of Public Lands to aetui 1 rt
tlersand cultivators, as also through tbe rrutea
tion of immature or peculiarly exposed branch?
from too powerful foreign competition, areamon
the aims to which this journal bas adhereJ
through good and evil report, and which ittei
fatly commends to American patriuiisai k&J
philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating our cpbs
try. we hold it to bave originated in a KebelMja
more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, then was ev

the few against the many a Rebellion ies'ar 1
to ruio higher the walls of caste an. I . t'jHi'.n '

without a surrender of vital principle to ..!
this War and witnessed the iorbrtir-. i-ed
ncss, and long-suffering with whicU iL Fedm'
Government sought to avert its horror, we kola
it our clear duty, with that of every otl.fr cr.ii's
to stand by tbe nation and its fairly ch-weu r
Icrs, and lo second with all our energies their
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution, ad
the supremacy of the laws. And. though '.he
hellion has become, through usurpation,dcepti.',
terroism. and Fpoilation, fearfully strong.
licve the American Republic far strorf er, t-
that the unanimous, earnest efforts of loysi b'4'1
and hands will insure its overthrow, l.ut ea "

and of action indispensable in so grave an emer

be largely engrossed with the currnt br "J
the War far the Union, and with el joiditit-o J
its more striking incidents. We skaM tot, io
