SHALL SOLDIEES VOTE?
This 13 a pertinent, as well aa an import-ant
question and 13 directed to every friend
of the noble and brave defenders of the U
nion, without regard to former political pre
dilections. And, what is your answer? No
doubt, every truly loyal heart in Pennsylva
nia will give an affirmative pulsation. But,
in the great interest manifested in the pres
ent military operations, and the approach
ing" Presidential campaign, there is danger
that the' people "will overlook the important
question which is to be decided at the polls
m the first Tuesday in August, giving all
qualified electors in "actual military service
under a requisition of the President of the
United States, or by authority of the Com
monwealth," the "right of suffrage in all e
lectious hy the citizens." For more than
three years tens of thousands of our citizens
have been disfranchised while aiding in the
suppression of the rebellion, and it is high
time that this injustice Bhould cease. There
is no reason why we, who remain at home,
should be more highly favored ' in this res
pect than those who are fighting the battles
of ;their cimntry.. They have left their homes
and all that they hold dear on earth, and
are" risking health, and even life itself, to se
cure u in the peace and comfort we now en
joy. In becoming soldiers, they have not
ceased to be citizens, and have as much right
to say who shall govern the State and nation
as we have. It is a duty we owe to them
that we establish them firmly in th exercise
of this right It has been delayed too long
already and lor that reason we (should the
more gladly restore them to their just privi
leges now. We hope the pec pie everywhere
will realize the importance of this question,
and keep it steadily in view until the day of
election. The opposition are vitally inter
ested in the defeat of this proposition, and
are doing much, in a quiet way, to secure
their purpose. They know too well that the
soldiers are for the Union unconditionally,
and they can not and will not vote, at the
coming elections,with those who sympathise
with the enemies of that Union. If an ap
athy is permitted to exist among the people
upon this question.it may be lost. The op
position dare not and are too shrewd, as a
general thing, to openly oppose it, but their
efforts are none the le?3 determined. No
true friend of the soldiers can vote against
thh measure, and if justice is to be done our
veterans, every loyal man must see to it
that it is triumphantly carried at the com
ing special election in August.
- Eon. G. "W. Scofield.
Some weeks since we expressed our con
viction that the' Hon. Glenni W. Scofield,
the talented and efficient member of Con
gress from this District, had, by his course,
rendered such general satisfaction, that his
re-nomination would be conceded by his
friends throughout the District. In this o
pinion we find ourselves confirmed by an ed
itorial paragraph in the Erie Gazette of
June 30th. The Gazette says:
"The last number of the Girard Union
contains an editorial article strongly urging
the re-nomination of Hon. G. W. Scofield
for Congress. In thus recommending Judge
Scofield, the Union reflects the almost unan
imous wish of the Union party throughout
the 19th District He should be, and we
trust will be, re-nominated without any
manifested opposition.'
By a recent Act of Assembly, the abate
ment of 5 per centum heretofore allowed to
counties on the amount of all State Taxes
paid into the State Treasury prior to the 1st
of September in any year, has been repeal
ed ; : and in its stead, a penalty of -6 per cent
will be added on all State taxes that remain
unpaid on and after the 1st of August, to be
charged in the duplicate against each delin
quent t4x-pyer in arrears at that date.
THE WAE NEWS.
The position of Grant's army is the same
it was a week ago. No general engagement
has as yet taken place before Petersburg.
Gtn. Wilson's late cavalry raid to the south
of Petersburg nd Richmond has been a
complete success. He destroyed some GO
miles of railroad, thus severing all of Lee's
sources of supplies. The roads destroyed, it
is believed, cannot be repaired within forty
days, evn if the rebels had all the material
at hand. Gen. Wilson lost a greater part
of his artillery and wagon train on his return
and when he had reached a point on the
Weldon road only about 25 miles below Pe
tersburg, at which point the whole rebel
cavalry force and some infantry intercepted
him. After a sharp fight, during which
Wilson's and Kaut's commands were sepe
rated, both divisions succeeded in cutting
their way through the rebel lines and arriv
ed in camp. Our lo?s was not heavy, but
had Wilson lost half his command, the price
would cheap for such a success.
From Gen. Sherman, we have tbe news
of an unexpectedly rapid success. Mariet
ta, on the Atlanta railway, is occupied, and
Kenesaw is in our possession. It seems un
certain whether the enemy mean to make
any stand at all north of the Chattahooche ;
and whether they do or not, their strongest
line has already been forced. The position
which Sherman a few days since vainly as
saulted has been turned, and there is noth
ing left to the enemy worth holding till he
comes to the river.
Reports of a rebel raid towards Martins-
burg, Va., are circulated, but no deffinate
news has been received. Perhaps Mosby's
guerrillas may be lurking about
The Way It Is Going.
The following will serve to show our read
ers how the nominations of the Union Na
tional Convention are received by those who
have heretofore been opposed to the renom-
ination of President Lincoln :
The Chicago Staats Zeitung, an able ex
ponent of liberty, is not the only German
aper in the Northwest that supports Mr.
tincoln for the . President', as has been
stated.. The Iowa Tribune, the leading
German.paper of Southern Iowa, has raised
the Lincoln and Johnson flag. It says.:
"The great National Convention, in the
name of a mighty people, expressed its de
cision, and to that we submit"
The Boston Herald, by far the ablest and
most popular Democratic paper in New
Ergland counting off the subscribers by
hundreds when others have but there tens
comes out for Lincoln and Johnson. . There
will not be bous Democracy enough left for
seed in New England.
The Armstrong Democrat, published at
Kittaning, Armstrong county. Pa., the old
Democratic organ, has hoisted the ticket of
Lincoln and Johnson. It assigns as a rea
son for this course, the necessity of the u
nion of all parties, at this time, for the safe
ty of the Union.
The Lawrence Journal, a well known De
mocratic paper, published at New Castle,
Lawrence county, Pa., has abandoned the
so-called Democratic party, and hoisted to
the mast-head the names of Lincoln and
Johnson.
Resignation of Secretary Ohase.
The resignation of Secretary Chase was
announced on last Thursday, and threw the
whole financial world into a feverish state of
excitement The reasons which prompted
Mr. Chase to resign were, of course, not
known to the public, and hence numerous
and some most absurd 6tories were circulat
ed. President Lincoln at once nominated
Ex-Governor Tod, of Ohio, as Secretary of
the Treasury, but that gentleman declined
the position. On Friday, the President sent
to the Senate the nomination -of Senator
Fessenden, of Maine, as Secretary ; which
nomination was confirmed, and the position
has been accepted by Mr. Fessenden. The
appointment of Senator Fessenden seems to
be well received in financial circles, and has
had the effect to cause a decline of about 50
cents in the price of gold. We hope that a
further and greater decline will at once be
experienced upon his assuming the Treasu
ry porti'olio.
The Obligations of Patriotism.
The Pittsburg Commercial says : There
are thousands who, though exempt from mil
itary duty, are nevertheless under the obli
gations of patriotism to assist in keeping up
our armies. A large proportion of this class
will, on examination, be found abundantly
able to place each a man in the ranks. This
they fchould do, in addition to whatever
else they may have done, or may propose to
do. What nobler or more genuine evidence
of patriotism can there be, than the certifi
cate that you have placed a soldier in the
ranks in the hour of the country's great
need. The Government would do well to
give notice that it will keep a roll of honor,
whereon any man may have his name in
scribed on proof that, being exempt him
self, he has placed an accepted soldier in the
ranks. The record would be an enduring
honor to the descendants of those whose
names it bore. There is no lack either of
will or money. All that is wanting is the ap
plication of the means to give it practical
direction.
Well Put. "We do not deserve to have
a leader like Gen. Grant," says the Tribune,
"if his inexhaustible energy and fertility of
resources have not taught us to endure de
lays and disappointments. There may be
others. There may be indecisive battles,
defeats, losses, but there will never be a dis
aster overwhelming enough to shake the
purpose of t he indominitable soldier who
carries with him the fortunes of the Repub
lic." There will be three elections this year ;
the first for or against the Constitutional A
mendments on the 2d day of August ; the
General Election on the 2d Tuesday of Oc
tober; and the Presidential election in November.
COEBESFONDENCE OF THE JOURNAL.
Letter from Philipsburg, Pa.
Philipsburg, Pa., July 4th, 1864.
Dear Journal : This is the ever mem
orable fourth of July, the day that closes
eighty-eight years of American Indepen
dence. Glorious fourth of J uly, in days
gone by, it was the pride of every true A
mcrican to hail thy annual return with emo
tions of joy and a thrill of patriotism that
made the welkin ring with song and shout.
But alas ! how changed the scene, where
once was heard the busy, hum of industry,
peace, happiness, and prosperity, smiling
on every hand, is now changed to the roar
of hostile cannon, the clah of arms, and
the desolation of a civil war. Oh! once hap
py America
"Land of the free and home of the brave'
may the day be not far distant, when we
will again enjoy the blessings of peace, our
Unicn restored, and the Star Spangled ban
ner floating in th pure air of liberty, with
out a stripe erased or a star obscured.
The Sunday Schools, the greatest refor
mers of the nineteenth century,of our town,
hope they may all have a good time, and as
it is not eome-at-a-ble to delay my letter un
til to-morrow, I cannot report the way we
celebrated the fourth until my next, which 1
will do, God sparing me.
1 have neglected to notice the death of
our townsman, William Myers, jr. lie
was killed instantly at the battle of
Spotsylvania. There was no braver or truer
soldier than .William Mvers, jr. He was
true to his trust His comrades adored
him. and lament his death, as much as they
would that of a brother. He was a member
of Co. D. 5th, P. 11. V. V. had served
his time and re-enlisted. At the time they
were home on furlough, his father told him,
when taking his leave to return to his regi
ment, not to expose himself to danger, more
than his duty and honor would require, lie
replied, I enlisted to fight,! am going for that
purpose and I will do my whole duty. That
he done so, there is no doubt, and the hard
fought battle of Spottsylvania, fully attests
his heroism, for he now fills a soldiers grcve
beneath the branches of an aged oak tree on
that bloody field, and there let him rest a
mong the bravest of the brave. And may
He who rules on high temper the sorrows
of his father, brothers and sisters, thus sud
denly brought upon them. I learn that
Matliias Plank and Henry Heeman both
of Co. D. 53rd Regt. P. V., each lost an
arm at the siege of Petersburg. This regi
ment is oue of the fighting kind, there is
seldom a battle in which the army of the
Potomac is engaged, but what the 53rd has
a hand in. The men of Co. C. are as a band
of brothers, as the following incident will
show. When Scrgt. Daiey was wounded,
on the 2d of June, they were making a charge
the Sergeant was shot between the knee
and ankle, and so badly did the shot effect
him that he fell forward, and, just as he
was falling, he was shot agaiu through the
hips, the ball going clear through. The bul
lets were flying thick and fast, he could not
move, there was no way to get to him, but
to crawl along on their bellies. Lieut. Rob
ert McMusser and Hiram Radebach took a
gum-blanket, cralled to where the Sergeant
lay, spread out the blanket, rolled the Ser
geant on it then one getting on each side.and
taking the blanket by the corner, pulled him,
crawling on their bellies out of reach of the
bullets, and then got a stretcher and carried
him to their quarters. If that is not "the
pure oil of brotherly kindness," 1 do not
know where it i3 to be found in this selfish
w orld.
And yet, we have men in our midst that
do all they can to discourage the soldiers
ridicule them. call them cut throats, villains
and all the epithets they can possibly think
of. Here they are meeting regularly every
week, two or three times, to administer the
oath of treason to such as are low, mean,
and degraded enough to become members:
Still these very members will contend that
they are for the government, will htand by
the country to put down the rebellion. A
j pretty way indeed, to put down the war, to
uphold the government, when really they
are doing all they possibly can to stop the
machine by killing the engineer and fireman.
It was only last Saturday night, that I
heard young men promenading up and
down our streets singing treasonable songs.
True,they'are few, and their heads of the cal
abash order, but it shows where they stand,
and what they are made of.

Free Maryland.
The Constitutional Convention of the State
of Maryland, in session at Anapolis, has
adopted by a two-third vote, (53 yeas against
27 nays) an article in the Bill of Rights
which reads as follows :
"Hereafter in this State there shall be
neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
except in pucishmentf.tr crime, whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted ; and
all persons held to service or labor as slaves
are herely declared free. "
Mark ! It is not gradual emancipation
that is thus provided for, nor is anything
said about compensation to loyal or disloyal
owners. The declaration is as noble as it is

THE WAR NEWS.
OFFICIAL BULLETINS.
Washington, June 28 9.50 a. m. To
Major-General Dix. A dispatch from Gen.
Grant, dated yesterday, June 27th, at 3. 30
p. M., at his head-quarters, reports no oper
ation in front, except from our own guns,
which fire into the bridge at Petersburg,
from adistanceof two thousaud yards. The
dispatch gives the following 'intelligence
from the rebel papers : "The Petersburg
papers of the 25th state that Hunter is
striking for Jackson river depot about forty
miles north of Salem, and say that if he
reaches Covington, which they wippose he
will do with most of his forces, but with a
loss of material, he will be safe." The same
papers accuse Hunter of destroying a great
amount of private property and stealing a
large number of wagons and horses and cat
tle. The same paiers also state that Wil
son destroyed a train of cars loaded with cot
ton and furniture, burned the derjot buil
dings, &c, at Burkesville, and destroyed
some of the track and was still pushing
south. All the railroads leading into Rich
mond are now destroyed and some of them
badly. Note. Burkesville is the junctiou
of the South Side and Danville railroad.
Reporter, j
A dispath from Gen. Sherman received
this morning, reports that yesterday, June
27th, an unsuccessful attack was make by
our forces on the enemy's positions, which
resulted in a loss to us of oetween two and
three thousand. The following particulars
are given: "Pursuant to my order of the
24th, a diversion was made on each flank of
he enemy, especially down the Sandtown
road. At 8 A. m. McPherson attacked at
the southwest end of Kenesaw, and Thomas
at a point about a mile further south. At
the same time the fckirmi&hera and artillery
aiong ine wnoie line Kept up a sharp hre,
Neither attack succeeded, thoueh both
columns reached the eneuiy,s works, which
are very strong." McPherson reports his
loss about 500 and Thomas about 2.000.
The loss was particularly heavy in general
neld omcers: iron. Marker is reported
mortally woundey ; also Colonel Dan. Mc
Cook, commanding a brigade : Col. Rice,
56th Ohio, very seriously ; Col. Brownhall.
40th Illinois, and Col. Augustine, 55th Ill
inois are killed. McPherson took a hun
dred prisoners, and Thomas about as many.
But I do not suppose we inflicted a heavv
loss on the enemy, as he kopt close behind
the parapets. No other military intelligence
has been received by the department.
Edwin M. Stanton. Sect, of War.
Washington-, June 28, 4 p. m. To Mai.
Gen. Die: The following dispatch has just
been received from Gen. Hunter : "I have
the honor to report that our expedition has
been extremely successful, inflicting great
injury upon the enemy, and victorious in
every engagement. Running short of am
munition, and finding it impossible to col
lect supplies while in the presence of an en
emy believed to be superior to our force in
numbers, and constantly receiving reinforce-'
ments from Richmond and other ioiuts, I j
deemed it bc.it to withdraw, and have sue
ceeded in doing so, without serious loss, to j
this point, where wo have abundant sup- j
plies of food and forage. A detailed report !
of our operations will be forwarded imme-
diately. The command is in excellent health,
and ready, after a few day's rest, for service
in any direction." Nothing later than my
telegram of this morning has been received
from Gen. Grant or Sherman..
Edwin M. Stanton. Sect, of War.
Facts Aboit the Sun. It has been es
timated that the heat emitted from every
square foot of the sun's surface in an hour
is equivalent to that produced by the com
bustion of 1,500 tbs. of coal, and the me
chanical work which that quantity of coal is
able to produce is equal to that of 7,000
horses. The light and heat of the sun are
far greater than any that can be produced
artificially nevertheless, such a rapid loss
of heat as that constantly given out would,
in a long course of years, occasion a sensi
ble effect, if there were no means of restor
ing the lostr power. Some suppose that the
fall of meteorites into the sun keeps up its
heat. Others that the contraction of the
sun a 10,000th part of its diameter would
generate sufficient heat to maintain its pres
ent heating force for nearly 3,000 years.
Assuming the density of the sun to be equal
to that of the earth, a similar amount of
contraction would suffice for ten millions of
years.
The rebel editors turn with imploring
looks to their "Northern friends" in tbi.s
hour of trial to come to the rescue and break
down the wall of fire which is encircling
them : "There is no doubt," says the At
lanta Intelligencer, "that there are, in the
Western States, a large number of men op
possed to the abolitian war. The vote in
Ohio, during the la.st gubernatorial election,
exhibited the fact that over 200,000 voters
in that State were opposed to the war, and
if the flames of insurrection will only spread
over Illinois, we feel certain that thousands
Ohioans will join the melee. Nothing could
give us greater satisfaction than the sight of
the Copperheads engaged in cutting the
throats of Lincoln's hirelings."
When General Sickels was in the 26th
Cougress, he requested ti e School Commis
sioners in New York to select from the pub
He schools the lad most worthy of a place at
West Point They selected a youth named
Leidecker, and he will graduate this year at
the head of his class. The practice of se
lecting candidates for eadetships. from the
schools, did not originate with Gen. Sick
les, but was a "invention" of Thaddeus
Stevens, that terribly desperate and desper
ately wicked, (according to copperhead var
iance) abolition Congressman from the Lan
caster District. It should be adopted by
every" Congressman in the country.
The Richmond Examiner calls Abraham
Lincoln "the Illinois rsil-splitter," and An
drew Johnson "the Tennessee tailor." The
New York World has excelled its rebel al
ly in vulgarity, and calls the one candidate
"a rail-splitting buffoon," the other "a
boorish tailor. " It is well to keep before
the people this sympathy of the copperhead
with the traitor.
It is stated that Brgiadier General E. W.
Hinks, lately in command of the 3d Divis
ion, 18th Corps, composed entirely of color
ed troops, has resigned, and his resignation
has been reluctantly accepted. He has had
no less than ten bullets in his body, two of
which yet remain.
Let it be passed around from hand to hand
until every workitarnian in the Jaud has com
mitted it to memory, that.'. when Abraham
Lincoln, our President, and Andrew John
son, lonneriy .senator, and now. Governor,
two work ingmen and chamoions of labor.
were nominated for office, the organ of the
Democracy sneered at them as "a rail-spUt-
Ung tniTfoon ana a boorish tauor, both from
the bacJcicoods. loth proicing vp in encouth
ignorance." Thus we see that when labor
ing men by their own industry rise to hon
or these new-fledged Democrats have no
words for them but words of contempt and
scorn.
The return of General Hancock to the
command of his corps is hailed with the
greatest satisfaction. His wound is for the
first time thoroughly healed, and he expres
sed himself as feelling better than he bad
for nearly year. The patriotism and for
titude which have kept him in the field
through this severe campaign, while con
stantly suffering from a painful wound, de
serves as high craiseas the eminent services
he has rendered,and greatly enhance the ob
ligation due him for the latter.
The Copperheads seem to neglect a great
argument which might be used against Mr.
Lincoln. It is from a recent speech of Hon.
J. L. M. Curry, the Secession leader of Al
abama. "Should Lincoln be re-elected."
says Mr. Curry, "our fond hopes will be
dnshed to tho ground." This is jm argu
ment the Copperheads neglect.
