hive just returned from a camp -Meeting, held
by '-The United Brethren in Christ." near
Citrwensville in your county. The Camp was
commenced under very Inauspicious cirenm
f'Hties. The Blind man was standing at the

ot uncle Sam's great" cal's, and felt unablo

that the war waged by our government was a
gvod warfare, bt-cause it had tor its object the
suppression of itbetlion and the preservation of
tl,e Union. I rtevei once said "negro" or any

I rniitiriird that the christian warfare was a
Kooii one, becauso it haJ a good leader ono
who bad never lost a battle. In speaking of a
good general, I declared Gen. Mi-ade to bo a
gotxl one, because he routed Gen. Lee at Get
tysburg ; and Gen. Grant U. S. Grant show
ed himself worthy the title of a good general
at Yicksburg. 1 cannot see what was wrong,
uiiles it is, that 1 did not praise Gen. Ms
CIlUn. it was interesting to see the fl ink
movements of tljeCoj pcilieads. One went for
his wile and said "come home, 1 wont stay to
far that Abolitionist proacb any longer."
Some others did not take that much time, but

f the man who drew tbe pistol and prove it
i? worthy men.
Strvice ended, they dispersed, swearing and
threatening vugeance. Prob.ibly that group
bo gathered at the spring will remember the
language they used. In the evening they as
sembled with tbe worshippers, like the Devil
did on two occasions, as recorded in the 1st
nd 2d chapters of Job. From the account of
tbe rVvii-'k actions there, I am forced to the
couclusion that tbe Devil is a gentleman when

can't help that. But with all their threats to

it wot the work of copperhead. One man, a
copperhead, urged the couscripts to go to tbe
camp and do as tbey chose, saying the civil
law cannot take hold of a drafted man.
This copperhead party is a party of hypo
crites. They cry "Liberty of speech V yet
tbey are trying to gag every Union minister
in tbe land. Let a preacher pray for the suc
cess of our army, pray for our rulers, and they
raise tbe cry : "Political Preacher, I'll sup
port no such man." In this way. they have
succeeded in stopping the mouths of many.
The minister must live ; but for my part I dont
want the price ot blood and treason, and u ill
preach and pray for the Union and the Rnltrs
of the land ! Allow me to suggest to tbe Union
men who are outside the church, to pay liber
ally to tbe ministers who are not afraid to
speak for the cause of God and humanity.
Tbe times demand it.
This copperheadisin is the most complete ma
chine tbe Devil has in operation. It is mak
ing more infidels, turning more men from the
christian church, than uny other association.
Their best men will tell you that the churches
are all totton, the ministry all turned political
stump speakers, and thai every man who seeks
the downfall ol slavery is fighting against the
decrees of the Almighty. They tell you Sla
very is right. They won't say in so many
words that Jeff. Davis is right, but they do say
that the North was in the fault and our Ad
ministration all wrong. Slavery right! that
system which breaks every commandment in
.the decalogue I The entire christian church
wrong ! Ilav all tbe great and good beeu de
ceived, and is it reserved for the copperheads
to understand and teach the will of God ?
Then bad whiskey and ohscene language, and
profanity, and mobisra. must be graces I
Mr. Editor, I am glad to say that we gained
a decisive victory in the end. We do not say
with P.ml "Alexander the Coppcrtmith did me
much harm," but declare the copperheads
sought to do us much harm. The church was
revived and sinners converted. I trust iu God
tha; ere bmg this struggle will end, the Union
b"r .-aved, uiid the course if the Administra

Letter from Pike township.
Pike Tp.. September 14th, 1863.
Mr. Row. I see by the last issue of tbe
Copperhead organ, that the Editors of that pa- j
per are disposed to ridicule the Union Con
vention which assembled in Clearfield Town
on the 27th of August last, by derisivsly nam
ing some of the geutlemeu present on that oc
casion. By the by, tbe persons named, as
well as ail others who participated in the pro
ceedings of that convention, may well feel
proud of the getilU-iiMiily deportme.it and gen
eral good conduct of all concerned on that oc
casion. W h don't ihe sneaking Editors ol
the Uetvel organ publish to the wolM the
names of the ir millions, who on the day of
their primary election behaved so disgraceful
iy us to a;.noy and disgust all good citizens,
an. who only desisted from disgracing them
selves still further, and disturbing the peace
and quiet of all good citizens of the town,
wiieii the officers of the law threatened them
with the lock up They considered they had
a right to do just :is thoy pleised. They sty i -ed
themselves Democrats, and their le.idurs
who bad taught them to resist the laws of the
Government with sword and pistol, dare not
enter into their midst and remonstrate with
them upon their riotous and disgraceful con
duct, -lest their teachings should recoil upon
tbeir own beads, and their deluded followers
become awakened to the deception and treach
ery practiced upon them by their disloyal and
nnptincipled leaders. And why should the
masses ot the so-called Democratic party of
this county Mill adhere to the teachings of
their false and corrupt leaders, and their cop
perhead organ, after tdvisin and urging tiiem
to resist the Inws of the Government and pur
ticu hilly the conscription act, and ufter urg
ing them to procure weapons for that purpose
st a heavy expend i Hire ol monov to their de
luded adherents When that act is about to
be euforeed, what do we find these bold and
chivalric leaders do ? They call meetings in
neatly every School House in the c.-uiity, for
the purpose ol atiimltinit the very principles
hey bad taught thfir followers hut a very
short time before thereby showing to the
woild their inconsistency, treachery and cow
ardice ! Who interested themselves so much
as to take the names of individual members i f
the Union convention dojvn for publication?
Was it that cowardly, sneaking thing, who was
to be seen cowering down behind the seats,
and who looked more like a hang-man, or a
thief, than like an honest, high minded man,
who w.s attending to bis own bnsiness
The time is fast approaching, Mr. Editor,
whnth star of all political humbugs will
have set iu obscurity, aud when the misap
plied name ot Democracy will fail to screen
them trom a just retribution at the hands of a
loyal, patriotic and insulted people.
A Looker O.v.
the bestjlts of one administration
a Recced pok the people.
It is one thing to boast of thrift and econ
omy, and another to practice theso virtues,
when in power. With the Democratic lead
ers it has always been the custom thus to
boat, but when tbey managed to foist them
selves on the people and achieve power, their
promises of economy where like tbeir profs.
sions of patriotism, all false and fruitless I
In comparison with such men, the action of
Gov. Curtin, during his present administra
tion, stands out ia bold relief, the evidence
not only of a wise course followed by the man,
but the proof of an enlarged statesmanship
adhered to by the Governor.
In two years Gov. Curtin sent into the field
nearly two hundred thousand men, to aid in
crushing a causeless and wicked rebellion.
In one year he reduced the ordinary expen
ses ot.the Government ninety-fire thousand three
hundred and seventeen dollars, acually saving
that amount of money to the tax payers of the
State. , . , ....
Id one year he increased the receipts from
ordinary sources one million, thirty thousand,
one hundred and seventy six dollats. This in
crease was eflected by forcing payments from
the old debtors of the State from men who
had postponed paying their honest dues to tbe
Commonwealth for years, and who imagined
they could esciipe, and who would have repu
diated their indebtedness, bad it not Been for
tbe alerpless vigilance of Andrew G. Curtin.
Tax-payers of Pennsylvania, the election of
Andrew G. Curtin, Governor ot the Mate,
will secure three years oi similar economy,
thrift and igfiance in the State Administra
tion li is for you to decide that election.

THE WAR FOR THE UNION,
vVh it vsaa Accomplish il ia one AVeck.
The suppression of tbe rebellion is prngress
io2 with a rapidity that cannot but be appre
ciated by ill true lovers of peace. Tbe record
of events of the past week is as follows :
Capture of Forts Wagner aud Gregg, with
the whole of Morris Island."
''Capture cf Knoxville."
"Capture of Chattanooga."
"Flight ot Bragg's Army."
"C.-pinre of Cumberland G.ip, , with 2,000
rotted prisoners."
"Capture of Fort Smith."
"Rebel Evacuation ot Little Rock, the Cap
ital of Arkansas."
To these may be added that the events of the
week have sealed the doom of Charleston.
Surrender or destruction are the horns of tbe
dilemma from which tbe valiant propagators
of the rebellion must now make their choice
quite speedily.
In an assault upon Sumter on the night of
the 8th our troops were, however, repulsed,
with a loss of 80 killed, wounded and prison
ers. This will only retard the final result
for a few days. The rebel stronghold must
fall ere many days. '
FKOM THE POTOMAC ARMY. . "
Culpepper has been occupied by the Sec
ond Army corps, and on the 13th Gen. Pleas
onton reached a position about three miles be
yond Culpepper after considerable skirmish
ing with tbe enemy. We captured tbree guns
and 40 prisoners. - ,
