v OTTi MIGHTS ABE TNVADED "
" This cry, raised by dishonest and design-
fug demagogues, says the Erie Gazelle, is cal
culated to touch a cord in the popular heart
and to elicit a decided response. The citi
sena of our country are ever jealous of their
rights. This is natural and proper. Men
awake quickly to the cry of "invaded rights,"
and many become indignant, without stopping
to inquire whether it be true or false. "Our
rights are invaded." When, where and how ?
Has any-body but rebels jp arms invaded the
rights of American Freemen T lias any loyal
man been disturbed in the enjoyment of bis
rights, except by rebel invasion ? In this way
only have the personal or public rights of our
citizens been touched. Our Government has
laid its arm'on none but avowed traitors, and
pnt them where their nefarious work could
not be prosecuted. And yet we hear loud
complaints respecting "invaded rights
What, indeed, are the rights of an American
Is he to accept the right of protection in per
son and property and give no corresponding
pledge of loyalty to the Government 1 Is he
to enjoy ' facilities for trades and commerce,
grow rich under the fostering influences ot
Government, and yet feel no obligation to
that Government? We have those in every com
Tnunity who presume to think so. Let us
not deceive ourselves or be deceived bv oth
er in- this matter. With a uoble-mitided and
just President, who is strongly averse to all
forms of oppression, and who- is determined
to sustain and protect all Constitntion-kjvtng,
law-abiding people, let us cherish and culti
vate a spirit ol devotion to the Goverunieut
and. join our hearts and hands in a resolute
effort to maintain it against the machinations
ot traitors both in the North and South. This
is the true course the only course by which
the Union cau be saved and our 'rights" de
fended and established.
VALLAWDIGHAM'S DEPENDENCE.
' Vallandigbam seems to be losing ground.
Everywhere throughout Ohio scores of loyal
democrats are deserting his standard. Thus
the American Union, published at Steubeos
ville, which for thirty yeara haa been the or
gan of the democrats of Jefferson county, re
fuses utterly to suport the Vallandigbam tick
et, emphatically declaring :
'We, as an editor, stand to-day where we
did the first day the first gun was fired on
-Fort Sumpter. Nearly the whole party stood
with us then, as we believe it docs now. We
will not be intimidated or wheedled iuto a
wrong position. We will stand between the
camps of the Israelites and Philistines, and
we can- ery in the hour of degeneracy woe to the
leaders ot the great democratic party, until,
like ancient Nineveh, the people will awake
and come up to the pui ificttion ot the dem
ocratic temple, and overthrow those who are
trying to place the party in a false position.
This will be done."
Vallandigbam himself is doubtless satisfied
that be cannot possibly succeed. A rebel
letter written taShelby ville, Tenn.,on the 18th
ult., says that 'Vallandigbam declared, when
there, that his election depended upon the fate
of Vicksburg." That depeudence having en
tirely failed, Vallandighaiu has probably con
cluded that he must still remain in the "pri
vate station."
EEBSL BARBABIrIES 15 TEN5ZSSFE.
The Nashville Union, of the 221 inst., nar
rates the following : "Mr. Bell, living eigh
teen miles from Clarksvilln, was robbed one
night last week of one thousand dollars by a
patty of Confederate soldiers. Learning that
be bad two thousand dollars in gold in addi
tion, they dragged Mm from his bouse into
the woods, and bending a small sapling, they
fastened a rope roand his neck and tied tbo
other end to the bending sapling, then let the
young tree swing upwards and dangle the vic
tim, writhing in pain, between heaven and
earth. After a few moments hanging, they
let him down again, and asked him if he
would tell where the gold was secreted, lie
answered as before, that be could not, as be had
never badht. They pretended to doubt bis ear
nest assertions, and hung him no less than
seven times. When be was let down the last
time he was so near dead that the devils
thought longer torture would be useless,' and
taking the one thousand dollars left him to
bis fate. He was found in a helpless and al
most dying condition, and carried to the
bouse by bis friends. lis recovery id thought
to be very doubtful.
- - , : A GOOD SUGGESTION.
The Louisville Journal makes the following
pointed suggestions to a class of persons known
as "grumblers ;"
,11 any body is dissatisfied with Federal
money, let him go South and get Confederate
money. If any body is dissatisfied with Uni
ted States taxes, let biro go South and pay
Southern taxes. If any body is dissatisfied
with the United States enrolment, let him
go South, and enjoy the benefits of the South
ern Conscription."
The proposition is a plain one. Let those
wbo are disposed t find tault with the con
script ion act, and every other measure that
baa been - adopted for the suppression of the
BebellioD, choose between the two. If they
are the friends of the South, (and their grum
bling would indicate that tbey are,) let them
take up their abode with their "Southern
brothers," and then the country will know
how to deal with tberu. An open enemy is
to be admired ; bat a sneaking, cowardly foe
deserves only the sneer and contempt of brave
men. ' "
; .. SERVED THEM BIGHT.
Several barns belonging to loyal men, one
of them an enrolling officer, having been burn
ed in Harford county ,near BaItimore,by some
Copperheads, "as a means of preventing and
deterring the proper official authorities from
the enforcement of the enrolment act and
draft of militia in that county," GenTSchneck
issued an order assessing the amount of dam
age upon the openly expressed disloyal cit
izens ia the immediate vicinity of the proper
ty destroyed which apportionments are to
be paid within three days after notice shall
bare been given. This is just and proper!
Those who counsel . and , encourage .disloyal
ty, and incite to lawless practicea.should "pay
the piper" for their temerity. -' ' (
The loyal citizens of Newark, New Jersey,
re organising to their ' several wards for the
purpose of. enabling the authorities, In' any
emergency-that may r4eer to promptly and
thoroughly enforce the laws. In other parts
of New Jersey similar movements are making.
A FATBIOTIC WOMAN.
The Albany Evening Journal tells the follow
ing : . At Plattsburg. the other day, a man of
no very great loyal pretentions called on a
widow and informed her that her only son
was drafted, and then hastened to tell her that
be could secure bis exemption if she would
certify that she was a widow, and that he was
her only son, and that she was dependent on
him fir support. The patriotic lady made the
following reply ; "1 can certify to no such
thing, I am not dependent on my son for sup
port, and I never expect to be. Besides, I
think be ought to go, if he is able to perform
military duty, and every other able bodied
man, till this wicked rebellion is put down.
Nothing but the necessity ot wearing these
skirts has kept me from going."
Emigration from Continental Europe.
A recent Antwerp letter says : The num
ber of emigrants who sailed from Antwerp last
year (or America was but small. This season,
however, uo less than fifteen hundred have
left this port for new homes iti tbo New
World. Tbey are almost entirely from the
interior German provinces, and are generally
quite well off one family recently taking with
tbem lull a million of francs. Almost all who
have chosen this place as their point of em
barkation are going to St. Paul, as the State
ot Minnesota finds special favor in their eyes
Of course, this emigration is not on so exten
sive a scale as in Ireland, but it embraces a
class of persons fully as desirable persons
who add nut merely individuals but wealth to
our population.
Tho Atrocics riots in New York, the mnr
ders,the robberies, tbe buruing of an Orphan's
Asylum are passed over very gently by Dem
ocratic newspapers. This is not surprising.
Why should tbey denounce the men who car
ry the city of New York for tbe Democratic
party 1 Tue persons they murdered had no
votes and the only printing offices they raob
ed were those of Black Republican journals
How can the editors who write three columns
againt abolitinoihts to three lines against trai
tors find fault with men who only assail abo
lition printing offices, who hurrah for Jeff.
Davis. No wonder Gov. Seymour addressed
them as "friends." He expects their votes on
future occasions. It was right that he should
be tender of their lives and feelings.
Enrollemt Papers Carried Orr. On the
night of the I8tb July, some person or per
sons unknown, by means of a ladder, entered
the back window of the office of the Provost
Marshal of Bradford county, in the town
of Troy, and stole therefrom all the books,
papers, vouches, blanks, &c, appertaining and
belonging to the draft in that Congressional
district. The theft Is believed to have been
the work of some cowardly Copperhead. It
is apprehended that this robbery will cause a
suspension of the draft in tbe district for some
weeks, as a vast amount of labor must be per
formed before the papers can again be made
ready for drafting. . t --
Lament Over .Morgan's Capture The
Richmond Dispatch of tbe 27th says: This
capture of Morgan's men is a distressing blow
to the Confederacy. It has stood, aud can still
stand, harder, hut the pride of the people was
very much interwoven with the achievements
of Morgan. We do not like to judge after the
result, but it seems to us that the expedition
which puts, a river, navigable and unfordable
for hundreds of miles and fully commanded
the whole distance by tbe enemy's gunboats
between himself and all assistance, must have
been rash and fool-hardy. Nevertheless he
has done tbe enemy great damage in this long
incur.-ion.
A Rebfl Officer Gives it Up A letter
has been received at Washington by a brother
of a distinguished rebel officer and engineer
captured hy Gen. Grant at Vicksburg, where
in that officer says : "The capture of Vicks
burg and our army is fatal to our cause. We
can never reorganize another army in tbe
West." Tbe war may go on for some time with
guerrilla fighting, which, I think, would be
unworthy of the country, and which I will Dot
approve. .We have played a big game and
lost. , As soon as I am exchanged, I shall
leave tbe Confederacy and tbe cause for E
nrope." .
' A Mobile paper, in alluding to the reports
which iiad reached tbe South of the New York
riot, openly claims that the riot was the re
sult of Democratic" principles, but thinks
that Vallandigbam, Wood & Co.: could not
eSect any formidable organization outside the
Urge cities, and does not therefore hope much
from the , outbreak. It also thanks a friend
for furnishing copies of late Northern Cop
perhead papers, tbe sentiments of which sur
prise and please the rebel editor. 4 -x ;
THE VAIXANDIGHAMS MOTHEB AND
BBOTHEB.
We see it stated in one of our exchanges
that the Rev. James L- Vallandigham, a
brother of the great "snuffed out" C. L. Val
laodighatu, was lately arrested for some rea
son, which can only be divined by tbe sug
gestive information that "he took the oath of
Allegiance, and was released."
This Reverend gentleman lately published
a card denying tbe charge that his brother,
the Hon. Clement L-, had "permitted their
aged mother to be supported in part, or in
whole, by the church to which she belongs."
Without-waiting to inquire why the Reverend
Mr. Vallandigham did not deny that he had
been a party to this shameful outrage, we
submit some official information touching this
charge of voluntary pauperism.
Tbe character of the gentlemen whose
names are appeuded, and the nature of tbe
testimony, settle ttie fact beyond all question
or denial.
It is worthy of notice that the first pay
ment Iroui a charity tund lor the support ot
an aged and destitute widow, was made at
about the same period of time that her dis
tinguished son drew tbe first installment ol
bis salary of $3,000, as a member ot Congress.
It is paiutul to think what would be the con
dition of Mr. V.'s family and friends, if he
were elected to a still higher positiou with a
salary of but $1,800 per annum. We commend
the subject to the consideration of such of bis
partisans as are indulging fond hopes of hi.i
elevation to the Gubernatorial chair:
Hubbard, June. 17.1863.
Dr. E. Mygatt Dear Sir : Can you inform
us whether the Presbytery ol the Presbyterian
Church of this District have at any time ap
propriated money for tho support of Mrs. Val
landigbam, the mother of Clement L. Val
landigham. If they have, bow much, and
when. Will you be kind enough to give us
such information as you deem perfectly relia
ble in this matter.
Please direct a letter to either of us to
Youngstown, Ohio. Respectfully,
Madison Powers,
William Powlks.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JOUBNAL "
Poland, July 11, 1863.
Messrs. Madison and William Powers Grcii
tlkukn : Excuse my so long delaying to an
swer your favor ot June 17ih, ia the matter of
cimritabl j support to Mrs. Vallandigbam, &c.
The delay was in consequence ot my wish to
furnish you authentic and undoubted evidence
in the premises.
In reply to my inquiries of Mr. George II.
Van Gelder, Treasurer of the Trustees of the
General assembly Charitable Fund, I have
received the following reply :
Copy. "Philadelphia, July 7, 1863.
. "Dear Sir: According to your request, I
herewith give you an account of money paid
to Mrs. Vallandigham out of the "Funds for
Disabled Ministers und the needy Widows and
Orphans of Deceased Ministers, as taken from
my book ot original entries for several years
past, and for which I hold her receipts as my
vouchers :
Sept. 17, 1859, paid Mrs. R. Vallandigham. 8100
Sept 17. 1860. - " " 100

Sept 17,1862, " " 100
"Yours, &c, Geo. U. Van Gelder,
"Treas. of Trustees of Gen. As. Ch. Fund."
You are probably aware that this fund is
rained by voluntary contributions from year
to year, but it is not a permanent or fixed
fund like that of the Methodist and other
churches, none receiving aid except the wid
ows and orphans of deceased and indigent
Ministers, and these cases are represented
each year to the Presbytery of the District
here tbey reside, wben tbe cases are deba
ted and an order issued or not as the case
may be.
I hope, gentlemen, that the above will be
satisfactory to you, and that you will have
the correspondence published, as it might
perhaps save trouble to others in making the
same enquiries. If you wish I will send you
the original correspondence.
I am, gentlemen, yours most respectfully,
E. Mtoatt.
Effect of Morgan's Raid. A letter from
a gentlemar in Salem, Ind., says: "It
would do you or any one good to hear the
Copperheads (that used to le) curse the Se
cesh. They have got their eyes opened wide.
One man told them that they ought not to
take his horse, for he was their friend, had
always stood up for them, &c. One of the
rebs struck him on the head with his gun and
knocked him off his horse, and told him that
he did not come to talk politics, but he want
ed his horse. They got it. We are all Union
men now, together with the women and children.
Tub Evansville, Iud., Journal learns from
a private letter, that tbere is great excitement
at Olney, Ills. ; that business has been suspen
ded for three days, and that the citizens are
under arms. A sort of imitation of the New
York mob has been raging there. A mob,
of 500 were surrounding the place, and threatening-
to burn it unless the enrolment lists
are given up. Tho citizens were determined
to protect tbe lists at all hazards against the
Copperheads.
The Confiscation Act. The question of
an amendment to the confiscation act, so that
the property of traitors once confiscated shall
pass from them and their heirs forever, is
being discussed by Congressmen, and will lie
brought up early in the next session. The
law is now construed that alter the death of
the traitor the estate reverts to bis heirs,
which renders the intended work iDg of the
act practically void.
Tbe "arbitrary arrest" in the case of John
Morgan furnishes certain tender souls in the
North "cause" for complaint, of which, to' be
true to their profession, tbey mnst avail them
selves. Abraham Lincoln will, we presnme,
be denounced as the most cruel of tyrants
unless he consents to the immediate, libera
tion of this notorious outlaw !

'.Letter from Philipsburg, Pa.
Philipsbcro, Penn'a, Ang. 1, 1863.
Dear Journal: At long last lam able to
inform 'all tbe world and the rest of mankind"
that the' Tyrone & Clearfield Rail Road is
completed to Philipsburg, and in a few days
tbe long looked for "pair of 'em cars" will
have made their debut on tbe virgin soil of
this "old town." I remember the time when
the rail road, just finished, was first agitated
by our citizens. Meetings were held but the
audiences were abont as slim as the copper
head caucuses of the present time. Doubts
were largely in the ascendant. The "lordsTof
the soil" viewed it with a suspicion of cur
tailing the internal revenue of tbeir "old
stockings," their farms would become a how
ling wildernessjinhabited by branch rail roads,
switches, sidings, and snorting, hissing, ram
pant iron horses, consuming no grain, but on
the contrary, bawling across the mountain
more at one trip than they bad ever been able
to comprehend, and thereby glutting the mar
ket, aud grain would go down to a very low
figure, lowjer than they could possibly afford
to grow it on their fertile farms. Lumbermen
and owners of coal lands were about tlje only
friends tbe R. R. had. But now all are its
friends. The farmer sees that with the march
of. improvements, the country is rapidly in
creased in population, and consequently the
demand for all the products of their farms is"
much greater, and advanced in price beyond
their most sanguine expectations.
Our town is now on the high road to perfec
tion in numerous ways, improvements, busi
ness, population, society, and everything req
uisite to the making of an A, No. 1, town.
For heaPh, it is unequalled, the pure moun
tain air, boundless forests, sparkling streams
filled with speckled beauties, and towering
hills that are in the vicinity ,all serves to make
the town a healthy one, and a place that the
invalid can visit without any doubt of being
benefited. The day is not fir distant when
Saratoga, Newport, Cape May, and Bedford
Springs will bo among the things that were,
and Philipsburg the Italy of America, and the
Delphi of the world. Coming events casts
their shadows before them. Our hotels are fil
led with sojourners, now enjoy ing the salubri
ous and braceing clime of the Alleghanies.
-There seems to be some "body hurt" at
your conespondents communications and par
ticularly the one that appeared in your col
umns on the 2d of July. I notice a pair of
"squibs" ot very small "bore" in the Repub
lican of this week. "Citizen," with his blank
cartridge, seems to have retired from active
duty, and "Demas" takes up his weapon hav
ing "A Democrat" on his personal staff. They
both bail "Leroi" for telliDg a lie, because
"Citizen" made the lie. I would tell De-mass
and A Democrat, to put on tbeir specs and
read over Leroi's letter, that they say Citizen
replied to, carefully, and then announce that
I am a liar if tbey can find that I called the
militia that went from this place Abolition
ists, or any other political party, creed or fac
tion, and that all "extensive property holders
are copperheads." "A Democrat" seems to
be "mortally wounded" and says that he is
"as good a Democrat as Citizen." Well, my
poor fellow, I am doubtful of your recovery,
if you are no better. I am afraid that the vi
rus of Copperheadism is so completely instil
led into you, that you must go the way of all
traitors, hemp awaits yon. I have always
kept aloof from party, in my correspondence
to the Journal." Copperheads I class in
the same boat as rebels, traitors, secession
ists, abolitionists and all other clans, isms or
factions, that are not union ; out and but thor
ough going war men.
When the war broke out we all remember
what an excitement existed. In our county,
as in many others, war meetings were called,
and the monied men were asked to come forth
and subscribe towards a fund for the mainte
nance of soldiers' families. A meeting was
held at Bellefonte. Our citizens bad timely
notice, and we would suppose that the "ex
tensive land holders" ot Philipsburg put down
their thousands. How stands the record 1 Two
men, neither of them being "extensive land
holders," attended the meeting; one a Re
publican, tbe other "A Democrat" in every
sense of the word. Tbe Republican put down
$500; the other man was perfectly willing,
but was a mechanic, had a large family to
support, and of course could not be expected
to put anything down. But where are all tbe
rest ot the "extensive land holders" of the
patriotic town of Philipsburg; Republicans
and Democrats? Many of them possessed
dollars where Deitber of those two had cents.
Where 1 yes, echo answers where ? Why at
home brim full of patriotism, war to the hilt,
but "nary a nick." No indeed, "a tender
spot is toucbed,and we can't endure it." And
so it has been from that time to this, not a
"red" has been given directly to the prosecu
tion of the war. True, some grocers, mer
chants, &c, have credited the wives, of sol
diers ; but I do assure you they "read the pa
pers" and keep a sharp eye on the wherea
bouts of the paymaster, and when the wives
receive their packages by Express, they soon
enquire for the "boys," and "when did you
hear from them?" "are they paid yet?" and so
on until tbe proper time to pop the question,
"did he send you any greenbacks?" Yet
they say they are doing more for the war than
any other set of men in town. And they re,
but it is the war for the increase of the "worth
less" greenbacks to their pile. Such men !.
Would draw iron tears down Plato's cheek."
Yours, Lkroi.
;, Letter from Fort Reno, ,Va.
, We are in receipt of a lengthy letter from
our correspondent W. R. B., dated "Camp at
Fort Reno, Va., July 22d," giving a detailed
account of an expedition sent from Yorktown
to destroy she railroad bridges over tbe North
and South Ann rivers,' and to cot off transpor
tation to Geo. Lee ; from which we give sever,
al extracts. , The division.to which our friend
( belongs, left Suffolk on the 21st of June, and
on July 4th destroyed the bridges alluded to.
"Oh the morning of the 6th, the detach
ment returned to Taylorsville. Towards
noon prepcratiens were being made to return;
bat our forces were not the only ones that
were preparing to travel towards the White
House. The entireore of Taylor, with one
or two exceptions, evinced a wonderful par
tiality to the yankees,' and expressed a deci
ded determination to accompany them. They
in their turn in order to take their effects a
long impressed all the mules and wagons be
longing to the estate into their service. Many
of the slaves on the surrounding plantations
caught the infection, and soon we bad rein
forcements to the number of two or three hun
dred, and before we left the place, Taylor and
bis choice property two beautiful quadroons
were by a little peculiar persuation induced
to go with us. He bad driven bis wife off
several years ago and having no legitimate
daughters remaining with him, this last move
cleaned out all that remained of the Taylor
family." .... . .
"On the 13th, we arrived at Hampton .three
miles from Fortress Monroe. The place has
not improved much, since we were there six
months ago. We remained there till the14th,
when we reembarked for Portsmouth, arriving
abont 2 p. tn. On the 15th, we marched out
to this place, five miles from Portsmouth, on
the southern branch of Elizabeth river.having
travelled by land and water during our ab
sence about 250 miles. We are likely to re
main here for some time to come, as all the
rest of the troops have been sent away Cor
coran's command being the last to leave.
The results of the expedition may be sum
med tip as follows : Captured in all 200 pris
oners, 80 wagons, about 500 horses and mules,
run off about 2000 negroes, destroyed com
munication with Lee, tore up and brought a
tay about 10 miles of the rails ot the West
Point R. Road, and kept a considerable force
about Richmond, which would doubtless oth
erwise have been sent to reinforce Lee.
The cheering news which has reached us
during the month ; of the fall of Vicksburg,
Port Hudson, Gettyshurg, from west of the
Mississippi, from Tennessee, from Sherman,
from Drury's Bluff, and the progress of Gil
more at Charleston, have had the most inspir
iting effect upon tbe men, and we begin to
discern, in the near future, unmistakable signs
of the end, and if our armies are successful
for the next month, rebellion will be on one
leg. But amidst all our bright anticipations,
we have to bow our heads in shame for the
disgraceful riots which have been instigated
by the Copperheads of New York city, and
other places.. Notwithstanding their resist
ance to law, we have the assurance that they
have accomplished nothing of advantage to
them, and that the draft still goes on, while
many of the dupes of the treasonable teach
ings of the northern traitors will suffer crimi
nal prosecutions for tbeir pains. Verlly.trea
son at tbe North is at a discount since the
rebel raid.
Gen. Foster, the new commander of the con
solidated department of Virginia and North
Carolina, paid us a visit day before yesterday,
and inspected tbe troops of this Division. He
looks the military chief all-over.
While on the Pininsula we received an or
der transferring this Division from the 9tb to
the 7th Aimy Corps, aud are now the 2d Di
vision of tbe 7th corps. My lettei tor its lack
of interest is already to long.

Friend Row : In looking over the cfpjer
