A 8TBAKGB SOET OF A DESPOTISM.
The rebel press of tbe south and the copper
heads of the north, remarks a coteruporary, a
lik endeavor to make credulous people be
lieve that the measures of Congress and the
policy of our national Administration have e
rected the government Into a gigantic despot
ism, more centralized and consolidated thin
any in the world. Yet this very government
is openly assailed, day after day, with perfect
freedom, by newspapers and public speakers
alt over the free States, in language which no
tinspotisnl would tolerate, and with a fierce
and rnalevdlent spirit which foreign govern
ments and rebel organs both interpret to
mean sympathy with the rebellion, and an in
tention to aid it as far as practicable.
Thus, charged with destroying the liberty of
the press, the government tolerates a degree
of license never before known to tbe press in
any age or country, and totally inconsistent
with patriotism, or a desire for the success
of the national arms and cause. Charged
with interfering with the liberty of speech, it
permits the open propagation of treason at
public meetings, and waits patiently for the
intelligence and common sense of the peoptojGeneral llobson that they destroyed the town
to repudiate the traitors and their doctrines
Charged with usurping a moneyed power be
longing to the States, it h is, ever since the
outbreak ot the war, allowed the State banks
to double and treblo their paper circulation,
and canse an inflation of which itself has had to
bear the blame, and only now tardily and re
luctantly conies forward under the act of Con
gress to do what Jefferson says in his letters
ought always to be done In time of war avail
itself of the right to establish a national papor
currency, which right is plainly granted to it
by the Constlution.
Jr
This issue of paper currency is the ord
'nary
expedient of all great nations' in protracted
aud expensive wars, and, so far from being
despotic i nuavoidable. let traitorous
northern lawyers, in the eager desire, to' weak
en tbe national government and help the re
bellion, magnity this power into an etfbrmons
usurpation, and easontially despotic. That
tbe government is strong does not admit of a
doubt. It is just exactly that very thing
which the slave power, for its own purposes,
endeavored to prevent its becoming. Tbe
government the rebels have themselves set up
at Richmond has become all that they would
never let ours be it has so completely ab
sorbed all the power in the south, that the
States are now mere forms. But they wanted
to keep our government weak andthe States
scperatc in order that we might not lie able to
oppose tbeir conspiracy with success. .
Nationality is not despotism. It is the vital
principle with ns. ' In strengthening it, so tar
from converting tbe government into a des
polisia, we contribute to the-permanence of itsa
liberties and independence. At such a time
the effort tomet up State sovereignty as an op
posing elomeut is not in any seti3e for the de
fence of the liberties of citizens, but is wholly
designed to weaken the only power capable of
making head against tbe rebellion. While this
war lasts, every northern State is strengthened
just in proportion as the national can so pros
pers. To introduce any element of disintegra
tion is to humble every individual northern
State iu tho face of the common enemy, and
in the estimation of the world. At now con
ducted, the national government nsnrps no
powers not always freelj granted to it by en
lightened national statesmen, and uses no
authority not perfectly consistent with the
freedom guaranteed by the Constitution. The
prevalence of civil war'on an unprecedented
scale renders the nse of the national power ne
cessary to the full extent, but thu power has
always existed, and so far from being now
created is merely reasserted.
WEST VIRGINIA.
The President has issued his proclamation,
in conformity with the law of Congress, an
nouncing the admission of tbe State of West
Virginia as a member of the American Union,
the prescribed changes in her Constitution
having been made. Sixty days after (he date
of that proclamation the new organization goes
iuto operation, which will be Monday, June
24th. On the 4th Thursday of May an ejec
tion is to be held for State officers and mem
bers of the Legislature. A convention is to
held at Parkersburg on May 6th to nominate
candidates for Governor and other State of
ficers. Thus his a new bright star emerged
from the dark cloud of secession, rebellion
ad war. Long ulay It shine, mounting high
er and higher in the heavens, ever increasing
in strength and brilliancy, until that beautiful
region of mountains and valleys shall be filled
with happy homes, schools, churches, brigbt
yd boys aud girls smiling with bountiful
harvests, and resounding with tbe bum of in
dustry, and the glad voices of happy peopte.
The Nashville Unto is gratified tJ .bear that
President Lincoln's proclamation for A Fast
Day will be generally observed throughout the
Southern Confederacy. It is believed that It
will be more strictly observed there than in
be North. This speaks well for tbe growing
popularity ana influence of "Old Abe."
The French forces wet repulsed at Paebla,
iter three days fighting. . .
THE WAR HEWS.
From Vicksburg we bave tbe cheering news
that on the bight of April 16th, four of tbe lar
gest of on r hon-clads, mounting in alt forty
seven guns, accompanied by the six-gun side
wheel temer Lafayette, the rain General Prite
and three transports, started upon the perilous
adventure of running the batteries at Vicks
burg, and with the exception of a single trans
port, all passed through the ordeal safely,
and before this have doubtless joined the fleet
.of Admiral FARRAGi'TvJ3f admirably arrang
ed were, the plans of Admiral Porter, that
nearly all the vessels bad steamed by the
works before they were discovered. On passing
Warrenton the Admiral'saluted tbe residents
with a shower of shot and shell. This gallant
exploit may be regarded as one" of tbe most
important which has yet been achieved in the
Southwest and to the Rebels, who deemed it
not only impossible for their stronghold to be
captured, one utterly impracticable for onr
gun-boats to elude their vigilance fter being
once caught napping, it must be a disastrous
and demoralizing blow.'
The little fleet under Commodore Farragnt
had an engagement with a Rebel battery at
Grand Gulf on the 31st March. The battery
consisted of several heavy guns sent down
from Vicksburg- One oT these guns was
mounted on a steamer. The enemy also had
a ngni neia battery. The Switzerland was
struck twice, the Hartford once, and theAlbat
ros not at all. The casualty was one man
killed. They passed the battery, in 15 min
utes and anchored below Grand Gulf. On
April 1st the fleet proceeded on its way to Red
River destroying many flatboats and skiffs on
way down. On the 6th they went to Bayou
Sara, stopped, seized and threw Into tbe river
about 10,000 sacks corn, and started for Port
Hudson stopping several miles above
Headquarters, Locisvilie, April 23, 1863
The expedition to Celina was entirely sue
cesslul.' Colonel Graham reports' through
10,000 pounds bacon, 1,000 bushels of wheat
10,000 bushels of corn, 100 barrels of whisky,
100 barrels flour, a considerable quantity of
sugir and coffee, and forty boats which had
been used in transporting supplies from Burks
ville and other points on the Cumberland.
The rebels report a loss of 90 killed ; but Col
onel Graham the commander of the expedi
tion is of the opinion that the number is great
er. We had one wounded and one missing.
This result is highly creditable to our troops,
indeed it was a perfect success
I S
Tho vicinity of Corinth, Mississippi, has
agajn oeen the scene of a Union victorv. den
era! Dodge having attacked the enemy and
driven them from' Bear Creek, a stream which
rises in Franklin county, Alabama, and enters
the Tennessee River on the lino between Ala
bama and Mississippi, to Crane or Caney
Creek. Our loss was about oae hundred kill
ed and wounded The Rebel force at
Tnscumbia, afdw miles to the eastward of
these Creeks, is said to have been largely
reinforced. . .
On the ISth April, three regiments of in
fantry acd one of cavalry left Memphis to re
connoitre, and when near Nocena tbe cavalry
encountered some rebel cavalry, a fight en
sued, and the rebels were repulsed. On the
19th our men again attacked the rebels, and
kiHed 20, wounded 40, and captured. 80 of
them. The rebels fled in great confusion.
Another fight took place between tbe same
parties at the Coldwater, in which our loss
was 5 killed and 15 wounded.
By way of New Orleans we learn that the
ram Queen of the West, was re-captured from
the enemy in Grand Lake, on the 14th. Capt.
Fuller, her commander, and all her crew and
officers, numbering ninety, are now prisoners
at Berwick Bay. This is an - important cap
ture, which will be of immense advantage to
the Union cause. The rebel steamer Diana
was also captured or destroyed. '.
From (he Rappahannock we learn that Gen.
Stoneman's cavalry have returned to Warren
ton having been out ten days without tents
or baggage train. The rains having frustra
ted Stoneman's original designs, he turned
his attention to other points. He succeeded
in dispersing Randolph's Black Llorse cavalry,
ai'd took prisoner their acting commander,
Lieutenant Paine.
- i
The Rebels who, for so many days, besieged
Washington, North Carolina, have, it appears,
either from disgust at tbeir failure to starve
or capture (he little garrison, or' from appre
hensions of early defeat, abandoned their po
positionsand batteries and retreated, thus re
opening communication and relieving tbe U
nion forces at that point.
Two regiments of Arkansas men, one nnarm
ed,who were stationed at Fayetteville, Missou
ri, were attacked by some four thousand rebels.
The rebels wire repulsed with a severe loss.
The unarmed Arkansas men fought with clubs,
stones and bo vie knives, showing great deter
mination and valor.
The expedition to Pascagoula, Mississippi,
heretofore reported, on Rebel authority, to
have been attended with a lack of success, now
appears to bave accomplished. all tbe objects
for which it .was sent, and that the landing of
the small force had the beneficial effect of pre
venting troops from being sent from Mobile
to Charleston 1 .
Gen. Ellet's marine brigade, and Gen.
Fitch's light draft gunboats bave nearly swept
the Cumberland river of rebel cavalry hav
ing sent out parties oh both sides for that pur
pose. Some severe fighting occurred and ma
ny prisoners were taken. ....
From Winchester we learn that ai expedi
tion under Brig. Gen. Elliott, has succeeded
in capturing 20 prisoners and SO horses. Nine
rebels were killed. We lost two killed.
Gen. Reynolds made a successful expedi
tion toM'Minisville, Tenni We took tbe town,
and captured two rail-road trains and a wagon
train, and a numberof prisoners. ;
From tbe west we have a report that, on tbe
17tb April our gunboats destroyed tbe rebel
battery at Warranton, below Vicksburg.
EI0T IK HEW BEELIH, TJHI03 C0THTY.
Kniprhts of the Golden Circle Re
sisting the Law !
BERKS COUNTrxEMULATED.
From the Middleburg Weekly Tribune, April 22.
It becomes our painful duty to chronicle one
of the saddest," and at tbe same time one of
the most daring and damnable attempts at de
fying the laws and the Government, that has
yet occurred in this section of tbe country.
To make tbe matter clear it becomes neces
sary to enter somewhat into detail.
, When the draft was made in October last, a
man,' by the name of James Hummel, of Mid
dlecreek township, voluntarily entefed into
an arrangement, with Mr. Azariah Kreeger,
to go' as substitute for tbe latter, who was
drafted into the service of the United States.
This arrangement was made, and Hummel
took tbe money or at luast part of it, and
went to Harrisburg, where he was sworn into
the service of the United States and Mr. Kree
ger accordingly discharged.
Hummel remained at Harritthnrg a short time
and then deserted, thereby defrauding'the Gov
ernment out of the service of Mr. Kreeber to
wbich it was entitled, and also Mr. Kreeger,
out of his money, by not giving value therefor.
This man Hummel, together with some ether
deserters, since tho time of their desertion,
bave been defying the authorities and threat
ening to kill any man who should attempt to
arrest them. They however found it conve
nient to secrete themselves, whenever the,,
guards were about, which fact was duly herald
ed by the Tory organ, the Selinsgrove Timet.
Thus things went on until last Saturday,
when Capt. Cox, who is stationed at this place,
by some means learned that there was to be
a funeral at New Berlin, at which it was quite
probable that Hummel would be present,
lleaccordingly ordered Sergeant Kephatt and
an assisttant to New Berlin, with instructions
to arrest bim in church, very reasonably presu
ming that there no resistance would be made,
and blood shed avoided. But be was sadly
mistaken ; theso desperadoes where fully arm
ed for any emergency. The Sergeant, with
his assistant, Entered the chnrch, and walked
right up to Hummel, tapped him on the
shoulder, and commanded him to surrender,
upon which Hummel drew a revolver and fired
two loads at Mr. Kepbart, when the sergeant
fired, the ball passing (it is said) through his
lungs. He, however, discharged two more
barrels at tbe sergeant after he was wounded.
l While this scene was being enacted tbe friends
fHni
ummel. some fifteen or twentv in nnmtipr
rushed in upon tho officer with revolvers, and
some with their fists, beating and clubbing
bim and bis assistaut, and firing tbeir pistols
at them.
We are told that there were some eleven
shots fired during the melee, of wbich the offi
cers in discbarge of their duty, fired only four.
Sergeant Kephart and his aid made their
escape from the enraged rebels without inju
ry, except a little scratch upon the knuckle
of one of tbe fingers 6 the Sergeant;; two
balls however, passed through his coat and
one rested in the lining ef bis vest, which be
extracted on Sunday, without much pain.
The last news we have from Hummel is, that
be is not expected to live. :
These are some of the out-croppings of the
devilish teachings of Frank Weirick, Jack
CummingSc Co. They spur on these poor ig
norant, deluded people, to acts ot treason and
rebel lidh, And leave them to pay the forfeit
with their lives, while these treacherous, cow
ardly villains are in their dens of safety, preach
ing up that we have no Government.
Let the people take warning; this is a spark
from the volcano, with which the tory organs
have been threating us. Let the Government
put forth its strong hand and nip this incipient
treason in the bud, otherwise there may be
bloody times close at hand.
. OATH OF THE K. G. C'S.
The following proceedings and oath consti
tute the admission into the oath-bound asso
ciation wbich is figuring as "democracy" in
the Western States. The "Constitution" and
"Urion'' ot course are in it, and there is no
doubt the leaders of tbe office-hunting cliques
in this State belong to it, take in those con
sidered reliable, and endeavor to get the re
mainder under their control by forming clubs
under a popular name. Loyal democrats, be
ware ! .- .
(To the Candidate) "Do you believe this to
be the word of God f" Hand on the Bible.
'Do yotf believe that the present war now

"I do solemnly Swear in the presence of
Almighty God, that I will support the Consti

which I live, and keep it holy and unravelled.
I further promise and swear, that I will go to

and swear that I will suffer my body to be sev

We copy rhe following article by request
of a Democrat from tbe Lutheran Observer of
April 3d, 1863. It mar be well enough to re
mark here, that the writer is a man possessed
of a bright intellect, and one of the most pro
found scholars of the age, and that he has
been a life-long Democrat, and a slaveholder :
The Ample Ability of Government to Meet its
recunaary UDiigationg, Affording the EestSe
curity for Private Investment.
Several of my country acquaintances hav
ing funds which they desire to invest, have
proposed to me the question as to the safest
and most productive mode of investing them.
This, however, is by no means a problem of
easy solution. Even in ordinary times the
wisest man may fall into error on a subject so
intricate and involving so many contingencies;
but at a period like the present, struggling as
the nation is for continued existence, against
the most extensive and formidable rebellion
that ever assailed a free and liberal govern
ment, it is a matter fraught with unusual
complication and difficulty. I would there
fore prefer -not hazarding my judgment bv
the expression of an opinion. But as silence
might appear churlish, or indicate a spirit of
unmanly timidity, I ha.ve concluded to com
ply with the request ; and in order to save tbe
trouble of writing a number of lettersI beg
the privelege of answering in tbe Observer.
My opinion then is, that tbe mode of invest
ment combining the largest measure of safety
and productiveness, is the purchase ot govern
ment stock. There are several kinds of stock,
such as bonds payable at different periods,
certificates, &c; but almost any person
may safely exercise his own Judgment iu mak
ing a selection, as he cannot in any choice go
far astray.
My reason for recommending this mode of
investment, will appear from the following
exibit ot the' undoubted ability of govern
ment to meet its pecuniary engagements.
From official documents I learn, that if the
war continue until the 1st of July, 1864, tbe
national debt will reach the round sum of sev
enteen hundred millions, less than half tbe
present debt of England. The internal taxes,
it is anthoritively maintained, will amount
annually to one hundred and fifty millions,
which is fifty millions more than will be re
quired to pay the interest at 6 per cent, on
the aggregate debt, leaving this amount as sn
overplus to be employed in the form of a sink
ing fund for the final extinction of the nation
al debt! This however, is the least favora
ble aspect of the sulji-ct. Let us look at
some of the mor i encouraging mitigations ;
first, there . is good reason to believe, as
the ablest financiers assert, that the taxes
already in operation and yet scarcely felt,
will amount to 250 instead of 150 millions.
Second, tbe rate ot interest paid on the na
tion's indebtedness, does not average 6 per
centum.
Third, a considerable portion of the debt
pays no interest at all, it being used in the
form of treasury notes and constituting the
currency or circulating medium of tbe coun
try.
"Fourth, the public domain furnishes a
source of income, which, being in process of
gradual development, will prove a porenial
stream of increasing wealth to the govern
ment; Notaber.e, provided we can prevent our
virtuous and patriotic politicians from cheat
ing the country out ot it, wbich the people
can do by electing not political charlatans to
office but only talented men of principle, of
sterling integrity.
These facts prove that the taxes. (no heav
ier than they are in other countries where
there is incomparably less ability to pay them)
will amount to more than double the sum re
quisite to pay the interest on the public debt,
leaving a surplus, .(annually increasing.) of
more than one hundred millions for the grad
ual or final extinction of the debt.
, But in opposition to this view of tbe sub
ject, it is argued that gold, the supposed only
correct standard of value, is selling at a pre
mium of 50, 60 or 70 percent., reducing in
that proportion the actual value of a treasury
note-
The entire argument derived from this con
sideration is a profound fallacy. Gold has
become an article of merchandise, and its
nominal or current price has little to do with
its inslrinsic value. It is subject to all tbe
fluctuations of fancy stocks or any other arti
cle ot trade, which fluctuations are more or
less controlled by brokers, speculators, bulls
and bears. When gold becuns an article of
traffic in England and other countries, the
premium on it advanced just as it ha done in
our country. The tru;h is, gold is not, and
in the very nature of things cannot be, tbe true
standard of value or Che basis of a nation's
credit, but tbe resources, mineral, agricul
tural, commercial, manufacturing, &c, aie.
One governineut may not have a million in
gold in its treasury, and yet be more able to
pay a debt of a billiou than another that has
a'hundred times that amount. If by the sale
or exchange or our staple productions, we
are enabled to pay our taxes and debts, we
have a more substantial basis of credit than
are even the precious metals. On the other
hand, it must be borne in mind that a treas
ury or legal tender note cannot lose its value,
because all tbe exhaustless resources of the
country are pledged for its final redemption,
and in the meantime, "it circulates at its full
par value in the purchase of every article of
prime necessity."
With this view of the subject, which I re
gard as incontrovertibly correct, there can be
no danger of national bankruptcy, and hence
I bave no hesitancy in preferring investments
injgovernment stock to any other, not even-
except mg ground rents. I forgot to mention
that by a late judicial decision, this stock is
not subject to state tax.
But it may be objected that these consid
erations in favor of the unfailing solvency of
government, are based upon the hypothesis
that the rebellion will be suppressed by the
1st of July, 18641 Well, my conviction is,
that it will not last till then. But suppose it
should even continue five years longer, (Which
in the nature of things, is impossible;) even
then the national debt will not exceed that of
England, (say four billions,) which amount,
will be vastly easier for our country to pay
than for England. For though tbe latter may
be able to command ten times as much gold
and silver, our resources are a hundred, nay
a thousand times greater; they are, id fact,
inexhaustible.
I accordingly regard the government bonds
as the best and safest in the world, and if I
bad funds to spare, that is tbe very stock in
which I would unhesitatingly invest them,
and so receive my interest promptly, regulary
and in gold. b. k.
Exhaustion and destitution will make an
end of the war in less.than five years, it no
other cause does, unless prolonged by foreign
interference, which is not at all probable.

Copperheads-Origin of the Term-What it Means.
"Sdoii after the outbreak of tho rebellion;
the Springfield (O.) Republic, published a com
munication in which tbe writer noticed tbe
rattlesnake as the emblem of the South Carolina
rebels, and stated that the rattlesnake was a
more magnanimous reptile than the copper
head snake, as tbe former gives notice before
he strikes, while thelatter, besides being more
insiduous, strikes you without giving you any
warning; and applied the term copperheads to
all the traitors and sympa.'hizers v'iih the rebels
iu the free States. Other papers soon adopt
ed tbe term, and it bas become very general,
but some people do not see the point ; and in
Indiana I see some use the term copiierbot-
toms, but I cannot see the point of cupperbot
toms. Copperheads is a very aprouriate name
for our free State rebels at heart."
