CLEARFIELD, PA., JULY O, 1802.
THE PRESENT CONGRESS.
The present acsilon of Congress la'drawlng
rapidly to a close. A lew weeks more will
find tbe balls of the Capitol deserted, and the
members mingling with their constituents
onco more, to receiro the plaudits due to
faltblulness. Never since the formation of
our Government, has Congress had more
highly responsible duties to discharge It has
been a session during a season of emergencies
and crises the most trying ever witnessed in
this or any other country. A rebellion, un
exampled in magnitude, and unparalleled in
atrocity, has not only given rise to new issues,
but has increased the wants of every depart
ment of the Government to a fearful extent.
Congress has proved itself equal to the neces
sities which pressed upon its time and atten
tion, and has provided with a munificent hand
all the means required to prosecute vigorously
the war to crush this unhallowed rebellion.
The Treasury Department proposed ninety
millions of revenue, but Congress took the
earliest opportunity of declaring it would raise
one hundred and fifty millions, and is more
than redeeming that pledge the first instance
on record, here or elsewhere, where the rep
rescntatives of tbe people have voted more
than was asked by the exchequer.
Nothing, perhaps, will give a better idea of
what Congress has accomplished, than an enu
meration of the principal measures which it
has adopted. Thus, it has passed bills, which
by the approval of tbe President, have become
laws, securing
1st. The freedom of tbe Territories.
2d. The extirpation of slavery in the Dia
trict of Columbia.
- 3d. The enactment of a Free Homestead
law.
4th. A sound National Paper Currency.
6th. A Protective Tariff.
6th. The establishment of a Department of
Agriculture.
7th. Tho recognition of Ilayti and Liberia
8th. The prohibition of Polygamy in the
Territories.
9th. An overland Telegraph to tho Pacific
10th. A splendid Army and Navy.
11th. The passage of tbe Pacific Railroad
Bill.
Considering the time the Republican par
ty has been in power, these results speak
trumpet tongued for its sincerity and vigor
Tbe measures still pending in Congress are
the Confiscation bill, which has passed tbe
House but not tbe Senate tho bill to estab
lish Provisional Governments in the rebellions
States, which has been faorab!y reported in
the Senate the bill to admit Western Virginia
as a State, conditional npon tbe emancipation
of tho slaves therein bills organizing the
Territories of Arizonia and Launiwa ; to ad
mit Utah as a Stato ; and to amend the Fugi
live Slave law all of which stand a chance of
becoming laws.
In view of the work it has performed, and
In spito of the splenetic efforts of the 13 reck in
ridge-Vallandigham politicians and editors
to belittle its character and labors, this Con
gross will have a position in history which will
challenge tho admiration of the intelligent
and candid world for all time to come. It has
inaugurated reforms that will heap lasting
blessings upon the nation's welfare, and plant
its domestic affairs upon a basis which can
never again be disturbed by a rebellion In be
half of the great "Negro Idol."
A-hem! Our neighbors of the Clearfield
Republican, in their last issue, ask the follow
ing pointed question :
"We would like'to know If tho gentlemen
composing the 'Republican Count it Committee
of Clearfield county, sustains any relation to
ino members of the 'People's State Committee?
Most certainly they do ! " They sustain the
same intimate relation to each other, that ex
ists between the Breckinridge-Vallandigham
politicians and the rebels in arms. These com
mit tees are both in favor of sustaining the
laws, preserving the Union, and whipping the
rebels who are trying to destroy our civil and
religious institutions ; which is more than we
would be willing to say for the Breckinridge
Vallandigham leaders in tho North and their
"dear brothers" of the South. Are our neigh
bors satisfied 1
"So then The Clearfield Republican
tried last week, to annihilate us at "one fell
awoop," as will bo seen by the following quo
tation!
"We are well aware that more than half the
editorials that have appeared in the Journal
lor t&e last lour years, were taken from this
same piper (the IW6tte) without the usual
credit."
Come, neighbors, don't expose us so much
at a time. Put it at one-fourth, and then the
tlory will last the longer. Wouldn't a small
"fib" answer your purpose just as well as a
big one ? Do tell ? and don't keep us in sus
pense. "Ecmp Congress." This is the appellation
applied by the editors of the Clearfield Repub
lican, to the Congress now in session. " If truly
a "ram;," was it not reduced to that condi
tion by Secession 1 Were the members who
seceded from Northern or Southern States?
Wore they the supporters of Lincoln or Breck
inridge ? Are the armed rebels Republicans
or "Democrats ?" j
THE TRUTH PLAINLY SPOKEN.
In tho Clearfield Republican of July 2d, will
bo found tho following sentence, which wo re
cord with ploamiro, ond commend it to tho
careful perusal and reflection of our renders :
"Tho constitutional rights and liberties of
the pooplo are being murdered In their Infan
tile statu, In tho very crodlo of civil liberty."
A moro positive truth was never writton,
(but badly applied by tho Republican,) and ono
which deserves the serious attention of every
loyal man who truly loves his country and tho
Institutions' under which wo tiro. Yes, tho
liberties of tho pooplo art "being murdored,"
and that too by tho "same inon" who but a
brief period sinco took a solemn oath before
"God and man" to "preserve, protect and do
fond" them.. Not only aro the liberties of tho
pooplo bolng "murdered," but that pooplo It
sell ; and an armed mob, goaded to despera
tion by deception, and led on by JofI Davis,
Breckinridge, Beauregard flc Co., aro tho mur
derers. "O, Liberty I what crimes aro done
In thy name." Crimes, that aro appalling c
nough to mako tho barbarous nations of tho
African wilds shudder and pale with shame.
Men who love tho old Stars and Stripes aro
hunted down and shot like wiU beasts by theso
rebel demons. American soldiers who are
taken prisoners by theso robol fiends, aro ex
ecuted on the felons scaffold their only crimo
being that of defending the glorious old en
sign under which our forefathers achieved our
national independence. Instances like those
named aro of frequent occurronco, and yet,
these destroyers of lifo aro sympathised with
and upheld as an injured people, and that too,
by those from whom loyal men expect better
things. But, alas, man is often m istaken.
These sympathisers aro not confined to a
particular locality. Thev are to bo found in
every loyal State in the Union. Of late the
seem to be more bold and unscrupulous, which
may be regarded as a sign that they are be
coming less numerous, but not, as yet, extinct.
We had tories to the close of the Revolution ;
and so with these semi-traitors, we may ex
pect to find them to the end of the present
struggle, and occasionally rejoicing over the
reverses resulting to tho Union armies.
On the announcement of the temporary re
pulse of Gen. M'CIellan's troops, some of this
same class of individuals soemed much de
lighted, and expressed a willingness "to
shoulder a musket, and go and drive some of
them d-d bolitionists out of Washington."
Others expressed a hope that the government
would have to "draft" men, "for that would
raise a fuss in the north." Such expressions
we have no doubt, are of frequent occurrence
in the Loyal States, and plainly indicate
tue leenngs ana wishes of those who utter
them. Men of this character care nothing for
their country. Their aspiration are wholly
absorbed in making political capital. They
could not restain their feelings even when the
troops under Gen. M'Clellan, (whom they are
tanght to look upon as their pet,) met with a
partial reverse; and yet, with all these facts
bcfoie them, they have the audacity to claim
to bo tho only true Union men in the country,
who are desirous of a speedy endiog of tho
rebellion upon honorable terms.
Loyal men of Pennsylvania loyal men ev
erywhere no matter by what political name
you havo heretofore been known, upon you
rests the hope of the perpetuity of the Union
and the Constitution. Yon know, or at least
you have the opportunity of knowing, that
there are those in almost every neighborhood
who sympathise with the rebels and traitors
You know, that somo of this very class of
men will likely be the first to claim your votes
to elevate them to political preferment. You
know, too, that when they, arc once in office,
they will prostitute their position so far as to
sympathise with the rebels, and to that extent,
at least, aid them in their efforts to destroy
the Government. Do you doubt this ? We
ask you to refer to the course pursued by some
of the members of Congress. Some of them
were elected as Union men, yet we find them
opposing nearly every measure that tends to
the vigorous prosecution of tho war. If they
are truly loyal men, as they claim, have they
not a strange way of showing their loyalty 1
Would it be policy for the people, in the fu
ture, to place men of such doubtful and equiv
ocal precedents in a position where they can
do harm ? We think it would not. Are you
willing to attend to your own and your coun
try's interests ? It so, it is well. If you are
deceived, we will not bear tho blame, for we
nave plainly placed the tacts before you. A
word to wise is sufficient.
The way to make an Americas Flag The
following rule is obtained from an officer of
the Navy, and at this time, when many per
sons are desirous to construct Union flags,
and inquiry is frequently eaade, in conse
quence, of the proper proportions of such
flag, may be useful. The length of the flag
is, of course, proportional to the width of the
stripes, there being thirteen of the latter, red
aid white alternately, the red being the first
and last. The length of the flair should h
twice the width, less the width of one stripe,
or equal to the width of twenty-five stripes.
Tbe dimensions of tbe flag, therefore are
twenty five by thirteen. The blue or Union
square at the upper head corner is, of coarse,
equal in width to seven stripes a white stripe
cpming next to it underneath. In length it
should equal tho width of ten stripes, or two
fifths of the length of the flag. Tho number
of stars equals the number of States (34), and
they should be arranged in seven perpendicu
lar rows, the first or last row containing four
stars or ly, tho others five stars each; or the
stars may bo arranged in five horizontal rows,
four rows containing seven stars each and ono
row six.
IIarkisburg, July 7. A mosl commenda
ble spirit . is manifested in every bart of the
Stato to reinforce our army- More than thir
ty offers of companies have already been made
to the Adjutant General's Deoaitment. and
troops will doubtless begin to arrive immedi
ately at the Central Depot. Camp Curlin, near

THE BATTLE BEFORE RICHMOND.
Further Details.
Fortrkhs Monroe, July 2. -The steamer
Daniel Webster has just arrived here from
City Point, with upwards of three hundred
wounded on board. A gentleman who came
down in charge of them Inlorms me that yes
terday wai the sixth day that the battle has
been going on, with tho most terrific fighting
the nun ever shone upon. It was extended
tho wholo length of our linos. Wo have lot
many men In killed, wounded and missing
. 1 .11.. 1 1 A. At It ,
proouoiy io,uuy to i:';,uuu. lie informs mo
that McClellan 's headquarters uro at Hardy's
Landing to-day, and his lines extend five
miles abovo toward Richmond. This move of
tho right wing of tho army was predetermined
upon and planned ten days ago and could have
been carried out sooner, but for certain reas
ons Well known la tho army, but which it would
not bo proper to statu. Tho enemy's forces
have greatly out numbered ours in utmost
every net ion, but notwithstanding this they
have been repulsed oftener than wo havo, and
their force far exceeds ours. Yesterday Me
Clellan is said to have captured a whole rebel
brigade, and tool; from tiiciu suvcrul riuu can
non and other pieces. It is now said that wo
havo lost very few of our siege gun?, most of
them having been moved iu safety. There
has boen a great many wounded prisoners ta
ken on both sides. Our informant says that
Gen. McCloltan and his Staff all agree that
tho present position of our army is far more
advantages as a base of operations against
Richmond than that hitherto occupied. Tho
gunboats can now be brought to boar and ma
tonally aid in carrying on tho work. Some
of our regiments have suffered terribly, while
others havo lost but little. The New York
ruin nave sintered terribly. I hey made a
most heroic struggle, und did great havoc a
mong tho enemy. About one half their num.
are killed, wounded or taken prisoners. They
were in the fight at Old Arbor, and fought a
gainst desperate odds.
Turkey Island, July 2, 18G2. The follow
ing is an account of the battles fought in front
of Richmond on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
the fifth, sixth and seventh days of the engage
ment : On Sunday morning the corps of Sum
ner and Franklin were left in the works at
Fair Oaks, with instructions to evacuate and
protect the baggage and supply trains on their
way to James river. They had hardly left
their position, and were falling back on the
railroad and Williamsburg turnpike, when the
enemy discovered the movement and imme
diately started in pursuit with their whole
forco. So rapidly did they approach that our
omcers uau barely time to place their men in
position to receive them, before they were up
on them. The enemy advanced to" an attack
about two o'clock, which was promptly met
by our men. Tho battle lasted until dark,
during which fho enemy suffered terribly.
Th-y advanced in a solid mass to within a
short distance of our artillery, and the effect
Of our guns on their ranks was fearful. They
were, killed and wounded by hundreds. At
dark the enemy were repulsed, and lorced to
abandon their position. This battle took
place abovo Savage Station. While the bat
tle was in progress other important events
were transpiring. Tho railroad bridge over
the Chickahominy was burned, and a train of
twelve cars ander a full head of steam, was
run overboard. All the commissary and
quartermaster stores were committed to the
j flames, together with a large amount of ord
nance stores, the large house at the station,
and the adjoining grounds, which were filled
with our sick and wounded, whom it was im
possible to remove, were left under the charge
of our surgeons, with all the necessaries at
hand for their comfort. They number about
even hundred, and aro now in tho enemy's
hands.
The troops which had fought the battle of
Sunday retreated, under the cover of nirht.
to White Oak Swamp Bridge, a distance of
about twelve miles, there to await the ap
proach of the enemy. The disposition of the
troops on Monday, the sixth day, was as fol
lows: Gen. Smith's division, supported by
Gen. Naglee's brigade, occupied the right of
the bridge, while Summer and Franklin's
corps were on the left. Heintzelman's corps,
with Gen. McCall's division, was posted out
on the New Market road to meet the enemy,
who was approaching from the direction of
Richmond. The enemy came up boldly early
in the forenoon, having been heavily reinforc
ed by troops that had fought the battle of
Friday on the opposite side of the Chickahom
iny. At about 2 o'clock it became evident
that some portions of our lines must give way,
as the enemy were evidently throwing fresh
troops into action. Our troops in front of the
bridge now fell back to within three and a
half miles of Turkey Island bridge, whero the
fight was shortly after renewed, and continu
ed with tho greatest determination on both
sides. This was a bloody struggle, and the
field was strewn thick with dead and wounded.
During tho day our forces fell back three
miles, reaching by next day their present po
sition. The fight was renewed early on . Tuesday
morning by the enemy, who evidently expect
ed to crush our army. It lasted about three
hours, resulting in considerable loss to both
parties. The enemy . then retired, leaving
the field to our troops. They again advanced
about three o'clock P. M., in considerable
force, but retired after being shelled by tho
gunboats and artillery for about two hours,
without coming near o; ough for the use of
musketry. The loss of our army during these
seven days' engagements is not known, but
twenty thousand is considered as near an es
timate as can, at present, be given in killed,
wounded and missing. Many of those at pres
ent unaccounted for may have straggled away
through the country, and may hereafter re
turn. The loss of the enemy in killed must
have been very heavy, far exceeding that of
our army. We have taken about seveu hun
dred prisoners, among whom are three lieu
tenant colonels and one major. Tho loss in
field artillery during the seven days amount
ed to about thirty guns..
Gen. Reynolds and Capr. Kingsbury of his
staff' were taken prisoners, as was also Colonel
Stockton, of Michigan. Gen. Mead, of Penn
sylvania, was severely wounded. General
Burns was wounded in the face. Generals
touniner and Heintzelman were both slightly
wounded in the left arm, but they did not
leave the field. General McCall was seen to
fall from bis horse dnring tho battle of Mon
day. He was taken prisoner. The extent of
his iujuries is not known. Colonel Goslmo,
of the Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania regiment.
was killed; also Capt. Gambles of tho Fifth
(regular) cavalry. Captain Whitinr. of tho
Fifth cavalry, was wounded and taken prison
er, and his son, a lieutenant in the same regi
ment, lost his left arm. Col. Pratt, of tha
31st New York regiment, was wounded in the
face. Major Russell, of the Third Infantrv:
Lieut. Parker, of tha Second Infantry, are
Kiueu.
Our Pennsylvania Roservcs aro renorted to
have been badly "cut up'. Col. S. W. Black
was shot in the forehead on Thursday after
noon, when leading his regiment in a baronet
charge, and died immediately. Lieut. Col.
Sweitzer was shot in tho back on tho return of
tho62d from the charge
Iho army is now encamped on high, rolline
ground, oh the bauks of tho James river, fif
teen miles from Richmond. Tbe transports
are already unloading supplies at the wharves.
Baltimore, July 3. Tho army correspond
ent of the Associated Press has Just arrived
hero direct from Gen. McClcllan's Headquar
ters. Tho following Is briefly the state of af
fairs. After seve ilays' incessant fighting, du
ring which General McCloltan'a array was
compelled to fall back before vastly superior
numbers, ho reached a point on James river,
adjoining Turkey Island. Here ho is in safe
position with tho support of gunboats. His
army aro on high ground out of tho swamps
with abundant of good water, and wher he
can be and Is now being reinforced. Tho bat
tle, or rather series of battles, has been ono of
tho most destructive of tinman life that the
world has seen, and has resulted in killing
and wounding of not less, it is thought, than
forty -five thousand met) on both sides. The
enemy's loss has unquestionably been enor
mous ar greater than ours, which in killed
and wounded will not exceed 15,000. We
havo lost many prisoners, but not more than
five thousand. All Iho bridges were blown
up by McClellan, as he retreated, and all tho
property, stores, fcc, that ho could not save
were destroyed. Tho enemy got very little
besides n portion of our siege guns, and about
forty pieces of light artillery. We captured
a number of the enemy's artillery, and also
took many prisoners, hot wero compelled to
release most of them rather than be encumber
ed with them. Th Richmond Dispatch of
Monday announced tho death of General
"Stonewall'.' Jacksan and General Barnwell
Rhett, of South Carolina.
FonritEss Monroe, ,fuly 4. Tho steamer
Stato of Maine, with 30'J wounded soldiers on
board, and the Kennebec with 2"0, leave For
tress Monroe this morning for New York.
They arrived here last night from Harrison's
Landing. Many of them are very slightly
wotinded a finger, a hand, or an arm. While
endeavoring to obtain their names the boats
were ordered to leave. Colonels C. E. Pratt
and A. W. Lewis, Captains J. G. Wilson,
John Knoblack, II. II. Hamilton and Daniel
Parker, are in tbe Stato of Maine. The 11th
Regiment of Pennsylvania Reserve were in
the first battle of the extreme right wing, and
suffered severely. Col Gallagher was wound
ed an taken prisoner, Lieut. Col. Jackson was
killed, Miijor Johns is missing, Adj't McCoy
is missing, and Capt. Brady was killed. All
the other officers were missing, except Capt.
Horter and his two Lieutenants, who were de
tailed upon other business at the time of the
engagement. The steamer Comniodore.brings
down 4( b soldiers, mostly Wounded. Among
mem is m. Raymond L.ee, of the 20th Mas
sachusetts, who is quite debilitated, but not
materially injured.
Gen. McClellan sent down 533 rebel prison
ers to-day, who were marched into Fortress
Monroe in single file, and a more unique spec
tacle never could be dreamed of. They wore
all sorts of dress, many of which had undoubt
edly been taken from our soldiers. No two
were alike, and they were dirty, dingy, and
worn out. The rear was brought up by about
twenty contrabands, who, as they stepped
ashore, grinned ghastly grins, and followed
tneir aiassas into the Jt ort. the prisoners
were sent here in charge of Lieut. C. D. Mc
Haffey, of the staff of Gen. Andrew Porter,
Provost Marshal of the Army of tho Potomac.
Among them are fifty officers two Colonels,
three Lieut. Colonels, and three Majors.
The most terrific fighting took place on
Tuesday, and with the most brilliant success.
The rebels wero defeated in eveiy action and
the rebel officers taken prisoners admit the
loss of at least ten thousand men on that day.
Our artillery was most successfully brought to
bear nearly all day, while the rebels did but
little execution wilh theirs. Our loss was
very small when compared with that of the
rebels. The fighting ou both sides was of the
most desperate character. As a part of tho
rebel force were cut to pieces, other fresh
troops wero immediately marched forward to
fill their places. They appear to disregard
the lives of their men, ami place and hold
them under the hottest fire of our artillery,
which was sweeping them to pieces as fast as
they arrived. The enemy have been repulsed
and driven back in every fight for tho last
three days Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
daj'. Yesterday tho enemy advanced about
8 o'clock in the morning and opened fire,
which was instantly returned, and severe
fighting on both sides was kept up for 3 hours,
when tho enemy retreated with considerable
loss, and badly cut up by our artillery.
Our troops are in fine spirits, and never
were more anxious to fight than they are now.
Most of our wounded express a desire to re
cover speedily, that they can again return to
their regiments. All seem to be very anx
ious to be present when Richmond is taken.
The steamer John Brooks has arrived with
four hundred wounded, and will this evening
leave for Annapolis. The Vanderbilt and Ar
rowsmith have also arrived with about seven
hundred additional wounded in the former,
and three hundred in the latter.
Washington, June 5. Dispatches have
been received from General McClellan dated
as late as one o'clock p. m., on Friday the
Fourth of July. The following is the sub
stance, omitting military details and opera
tions not proper for present publication. There
has been no fighting since Thursday night,
when the enemy were repulsed with-great loss.
Tho army moved to the position now occu
pied because it affords greatly superior ad
vantages for the co-operation of the gun boats,
of which seventeen are now in the river pro
tecting the army. Tho statements of the cas
ualties of the eight day's fighting cannot yet
bo furnished. Our forces wero not beaten in
any conflict, nor could they be driven from
the field by the utmost efforts of the enemy.
The conduct of the troops in every commaud
and under all circumstauces was admirable. .
No guns have been lost since the engage
ment on Friday, June 29th, when General Mc
Call's division was at the onset overwhelmed
by superior numbers and several pieces fell
into tbe hands of the enemy.
A SINGULAR FACT.
There is something peculiar and undefinable
in the spirit of modern democracy. It has
puzzled the politicians of all countries, to
know whether this peculiarity related to a
dishonest purpose on tho part of its advocates
to benefit themselves only, or whether it par-
iook oi a iraud still deeper, and which con
templated the final overth row of the govern
ment. We are not troubled on either of these
definitions, believing that both will apply with
equal justice to the party in question. What
has struck up lately, and which now claims
our attention, is the singular fact that the'
democratic party is struggling for organiza
tion at this present time. When tho rebel
lion was organized, the democracy of the
north suddenly found themselves disorganiz
ed, divided into angry factions, each intent on
tho extinction of the other. While this was
the condition in the north, tho democracy in
tho south wero thoroughly organized. When
Sumter fell, a cry of indignation rang
through the land and aroused its physical and
mental forces to the rescue of the government.
When the disaster of Bull Run filled the loyal
States with mourning, and requiems for the
dead were borno on every breeze that blowed
from tho north, the east and the west when
Ball's Bluff in all its bloody details spread a
tale of horror before the people when all the
possible misfortunes which at one period in
the history of this struggle seemed to conspire
to frustrate tbe efforts of the government to
put down rebellion, at that particular time tee
heard nothing of the Democratic party. It had
no advocates in the noith it made no avowhI
of principle while its old leaders seemed to
content themselves with the disasters which
loyal men deplored, giving aid to the rebel-
nun me expression or deep synipamy lor
efforts of those eneaeed acainst the Govern
ment. The democracu. n n nnrtn. tMstnntiert

arrived, and that aid Is demanded hv tin- rub
els. as they fly from stromrhold to stronghold.
unwilling to meet loyal armies in theirpursuif,
ana unable to hold a single locality which
they boasted was impregnable. The demo
cratic party, by seeking re-organization at
this time, seeks to fulfil the compact into
which it entered at tho inception of rebellion,
because by such an organization, the aid and
comfort which northern dough-faces promised,
can alone be extended to the traitors of the
south. It is another attempt at the fulfillment
of a bloody bargain which was heretofore frus
trated by the indignant musses of the freeStates,
ty openiy threatening the very men now at
tempting this ro orgauizatiou, with the halter
and the horse pond.
That tho organisa'ion of the Democratic
party is lor the purpose of affording aid und
comfort to tho rebel cause, no man of iudir.
merit, who understands the tendencies and is
acquainted with the allegiance of that party,
winior a moment doubt. Jt is not organiz
ing for the purpose of attempting political
success in the loyal States because that is
impossible. It is not consolidating its forces
to achieve any particular legislation, looking
to the support of the army or the payment of
uio uenis growmg.out oi the rebellion. These
are questions which do not interest beyond
those invested in mere political success. Tho
object and the purpose, then, of this organi
zation is to afford all the aid in the power of
the northern dough-face Democracy to the de
clining fortunes of a rebellion which the spirit
of that Democracy has excited, and without
the success of which that Democracy will be
lost to further influences in perjury, pec illa
tion and treason.
