IN PAYOR OF" SOLDIERS VOTING.
The Constitutional Amendments.
The lejral form of the ballots to be
usel iu voting Fur the Constitutional A
meu'lmeuts, on Aurut 21, is as follows :
First Amendment.
FOR THE AMENDMENT.
KictMil Amendment.
FOR THE AMENDMENT.
Third Amendment.
FOR THE AMENDMENT.
The tickets are to Le eo folded as to en
rf use the words "For the Amendment,"
leaving on tho outside for perusal ad the bal
lot is distributed, to the boxes, the words
"First Amendment, "etc. Persons opposed
to either of the Amendments will vote a
similar ticket, with the words 11 Against
the Amendment" on the inside the out-f-ide
being the same as above given. Each
voter will deposite three scperaie tickets.
The Firt Amendment relates to soldiers
voting, and will give them that privilege
while in the artnv. s-bnnbl the amendment
e approved by the people.
The Second amendment, if adopted,
will prevent the Legislature from passing
any bill that contains more than odc subject
except appropriation bills.
The Third amendment, if passed, will
prevent the Legislature from parsing bilU
on subjects where powers have been exten
ded to the courts, to grant such privileges.
Don't be Deceived.
The Copperhead Democracy in various
sections of the State are doing all they can
to prejudice the people against voting for
the amendment allowing our soldiers in the
field the privilege to vote. The latent mis
representation circulated by thern is, that
the adoption of the '"lirst amendment" will
also give the negro soldiers a right to vote.
Now these men are either stupidly ignorant,
or their enmity to the gallant defenders of
the old flag impel them to the most base
falsehoods. The proposed amendment, if
carried, will only extend the elective fran
chise to ''the qualified electors of this com
monwealth who shall be in any actual
military service," tc. A qualified elector.
according to the Constitution of Pennsylva
nia u a "white freeman of the age of tv:ni-ty-oiw.
years." t Then, according to our
Constitution a negro can not vote, as he is
not a white freeman neither does the pro
posed amendment contemplate giving them
that privilege. Any assertion to the contra
ry is only a barefaced Copperhead misrepre
sentation, without the first bit of truth in
the story. Read the first amendment (pub
lished on our 4th page) carefully and judge
for yourselves ; and don't suffer these semi-
traitors to deceive you by such base and ap
parent falsehoods.
t See article 3, section 1 , Pa. Con.
"Why is not the same privilege extend
ed to them (Pennsylvania soldiers) that is
extended to the soldiers of other States ?"
Clearfield RepuUican, July 20th.
That is just the "opportunity" that the
people will extend to our brave boys by a
dopting the First proposed amendment, on
Tuesday next "OthcrStates" hare passed
laics "extending the right of suffrage" to
their soldiers while in the military service
of the country, bntrennsylvania will extend
the privilege to her brave sons by a Consti
tutional amendment.
The Crops. The Greenburg Herald of
July 20th, gives the following encouraging
item in reference to the crops, in that sec
tion of Westmoreland county ; "The wheat
crop hereabouts is shocking up beyond the
expectation of everybody ; it is an average
crop. Ihe oats,now nearly. nje, will be
perhaps more than an average of the past
three years.
Pennsylvania's quota under the recent cal
js 61,700.
THE WAR NEWS.
The Manland raiders have not been as
successful in getting away with their plun
der as was anticipated. We see it stated that
a party, in charge of three hundred wagons,
was overtaken near Snicker's Gap. 'a fight
ensued, and the reikis burnt the train to
prevent it falling into our hands. Another
train of fifty wagons, in charge of 160 reltel
guards, was also burnt, to prevent it falling
into the hands of six Union scouts, who sud
denly came upon the train. Gen. Averill
succeeded in overtaking Early's force near
Winchester, and after a severe fight defeat
ed the rebels killing and wounding over
300 of his officers and men. and captured 4
cannon, several hundred small arms, and
2iK) prisoners.
The news from Sherman is glorious . It
is reported that he is in possession of Atlan
ta. The relels came out of their entrench
ments to attack our advancing heroes. One
column attacked Howard's, the 4th corps, and
Was gallantly repulsed' the- enemy leaving
200 dead and a large number of wounded "on
the field. Another column made an assault
upon the 20th corps, in command of Gen.
Hooker, and was badly whipped and driven
from the field. After the battle Gen. Hook
er reported to Gen. Sherman as follows :
"I have hurried 400 dead rebels, and 4.000
wounded are lying on my front." The reb
el loss, so far as known, is over 600 killed
and over 4,000 wounded and prisoners in
our hands. Our loss was comparatively
small. Sherman had succeeded in destroy
ing all the railroads but one in the rear of
Johnsoq's forces at Atlanta. Whether the
rebel General has succeeded iu getting off
with his army and supplies, or whether any
considerable part fell into Sherman's pos
session is not stated.
The siege before Petersburg is still pro
gressing favorable. The rebels opened a
lattery ujionour lines on the 20th, and our
boys returned the compliment, by lodging a
2(Kt pound f-hell in their midst, which blew
up a caisson and silenced their most formi
dable battery. Several of our officers and
men were wounded during the fight, which
lasted four hours.
At latest advices, our forces before Charles
ton were engaged in bombarding the city
and the rebel forts in that vicinity.
Ey Tuesday Evening's Mail.
The latest from Sherman's army is to the
effect that he occupies one part of the city
of Atlanta while the rebels still hold the
other side. The relels made a most des
perate effort, by massing their forces against
Sherman, on Friday, to drive our army
back, but they were repulsed with a most
fearful slaughter. The enemy's loss is be
tween 7,000 and 8,000 killed and wounded.
Our loss about 2,500 in killed and wounded.
The great slaughter of rebels is owing to
the enemy having precipitated his whole
force on to one point. Gen. McPherson
was killed by a rebel sharp shooter, while
making a reconnoissance on Friday.
Gen. Smith has also gained a great vic
tory over Forrest having whipped him
five times within three days. The rebels
admit a loss of over 4,000, while our loss
does not exceed 500. Gen. Smith also
took 2,000 prisoners.
Important to All.
The following letter, from 1 Yovo.st Mar
shall Campbell, was received a few days
since, and as it alludes to a matter in which
our 'readers generally are interested, we
printed it for their information :
Headquarters ok Provost Marshal. )
Nineteenth District of Pexx'a
Waterford, Erie Co. July 20th 1801. J
S. .. Ron:, Esq., Clei.irfhll, Fit.
Dear Sir : As the President of the li
nked States has issued a proclamation or
dering a draft, for 500,000 men, to take
laee within fifty days from date of order,
it is desirable that, (in order to have a just
assignment of quotas under this call, ) those
of this Congressional District who are en
rolled as liable to military duty, and who
have good claims for exemption, should pre
sent themselves to the Board of Enrollment
for examination and have their names strick
en from the list.
JMany persons are probably enrolled who
will be exempted for manifest permanent
(Usability, over age, &c. If they present
their claims now, and be erased from the
enrollment, it will lessen the quota of the
Sub-District to which they belong.
It is the privilege and duty of all interes
ted to give this matter immediate attention.
Very Respectfully, 3-our obedient sen-ant,
II. S. Campbell, Provost 31 arshal.
"All the Amendments."
Under the alove heading wo publish on
our outside to-day, an article copied from
the Jjeirishurg Chronicle, which will, per
haps, give our readers a better understand
ing of the importance of the Amendments
to the Constitution especially of the Sec
ond and Third amendments ; it being pre
sumed that they fully understand the impor
tance of the First upon which they are to
vote on Tuesday next, August 2d. One of
the editors of the Chronicle held an impor
tant position in the last Legislature, and
having closely observed the doings of that
body, is well qualified to give a correct o
pinion as to the importance of the Amend
ments he more particularly refers to. We
hope our readers will give his article a care
ful perusal.
Query? -As Val, the traitor, "martyr"
and "exile" is losing notoriety by beingper
mited to run atlarge unmolested, would it not
be well enough for his Copperhead friends to
revive that dime subscription, and ask him
to go back to Canada for fear of arrest, as
the order of his bannishmcnt has not been
revoked ?
Reported Peace Negotiations.
The country was somewhat startled during
the past week, by the announcement that
the Rebels, though their agents in Canada,
had offered propositions of peace to the li
nked States authorities. It appears that
some two weeks since Geo. N. Sanders, C.
C. Clay of Alabama, Jacob Thompson of
Mississippi, and J. P. Halcomb of Virginia,
arrived at the Clifton House, at Niagara
Falls, on the Canada side. Information
having been sent to the National authori
ties that these jersons desired to have a
conference with a view to a negotiation of
peace between tho Rebel authorities and
the authoritioa of the United States, Hor
ace Greeley, Esq., was requested to proceed
to Niagara and ascertain their wishes and by
what authority the came.
Some corresiondence having passed be
tween the parties named, which indicated
that the rebels really desired to enter into
negotiations of peace, President Lincoln,
under date of July ISth, in view of the rep
resentations made, telegraphed to Mr.
Greeley the following :
"To whom it may concern : Any propo
sition which embraces the restoration of
peace, the integrity of the whole Union,
and the abandonment of Slavery, and which
comes by and with an authority that can
control the armies now at war against the
United States, will be received and consid
ered by the Executive Government of the
United States, and will be met by liberal
terms on other substantial and collateral
points, and the bearer or bearers thereof
shall have safe conduct both ways."
This note being sent to these pretended
commissioners, they became quite indignant
and terminated all further conference on the
subject of peace having had previously
asked permission to proceed to Washington,
and thence through our lines to llichmond,
as the "accredited agents of the Rebel gov
ernment." Now, it appears to us that these rebels
merely adopted this course as a means to
safely reach Richmond, for they admit in
their correspondence that they had no au
thority to negotiate a peace, but that they
presumed "this concilliatory manifestation
on the part of the President of the United
States, would be met by them (the Rich
mond anthorities) in a temper of equal mag
nanimity," as tending to a "peaceful solu
tion of this unhappy strife." And thus
ended this much talked of peace conference.
Many stories have been circulated as to
what transpired on the subject. One .story
has it that the persons above referred to
had made several propositions' as a basis up
on which to found a permanent peace le
tween the two sections, but we see nothing
of this kind in the published correspon
dence. In reference to the various publish
ed accounts, as to what should have trans-,
pired between Mr. Greely and these self
constituted rebel "commissioners," the A'.
V. Ttribune of July 22d, says :
The telegraphic stories concerning Peace
conferences at Niagara Falls have a slender
foundation in fact, but most of the details
aro very wide of truth. The Editor of this
paper has taken part in and teen privy to
no further or other negotiations than were
fully authorized, and more than authorized;
but these related solely to bringing the an
tagonists face to face in amicable rather
than Ijelligerent attitude, with a view to the
initiation of au earnest effort for Peace, to
le prosecuted at Washington. The move
ment has had no immediate success. Of
course, all reports that the writer has been
engaged in proposing, or receiving, or dis
cussing hypothetical terms or bases of Peace,
whether with accredited agents ot the Rich
mond authorities or others, are utterly mis
taken, lie ha.s never had the slightest au
thorization to do anything of the sort ; and
he is quite aware of those provisions of law
which relate to volunteer negotiations with
public enemies. Those provisions he heart
ily approves, and is in nowise inclined to
violate. More than this he does not as yet
feel at liberty to state,-though he soon may
be. All that he can now add is his general
inference that the pacification of our coun
try is neither so difficult nor so distant as
seems to le generally supposed.
"Our neighbor announces that ho has
printed tickets "for the amendments" to
the Constution to be voted for on the 2d ot
August next ; but not a word about tickets
for 'tother side." Clearfield Republican,
J id; 20th.
J ust so, neighbor ! We are for the a
mendments 5-ou are against them. We
printed tickets for the use of such of our
friends as will vote with us, in "extending
the elective franchise" to our brave so!diers
"while in the military service" of the coun
try you are at liberty to supply yourself and
such of your friends as are opposed to grant
ing that privilege to our Nation's defen
ders. Besides, as we furnish the tickets at
our own expense, we are not aware that we
are under any obligations to furnish the op
ponents of that amendment with the means
of further depriving our soldiers of the
right of "free suffrage." A Pennsylvania
voter is a white freeman hence, as Penn
sylvania's soldiers are free men we desire
that they should share a freeman's privilege!
Do you under&ta nd that, neighbor ?
N. B. It any persons are desirous of vo
ting against either of the amendments, we
will print them tickets, provided they pay
for tho same.

THE CONTRAST.
We know nothing more clearly defined
than the difference between the social sys
tems and condition of the people of the
Free and Slave States of this country. At
this time more thau any other should we
seriously consider this subject and provide
the remedy for such evils as may be brought

jiouie 10 us. tv e uu uot claim tnat every
thing in the Free States has been as it
ought to have been, but we urge that if the
Slave States should be brought Up to our
standard, we can unitedly make rapid pro-
. 11 .1 n t 1
gress in correcting an tne evils 01 tne uouy
politic.
Acting upon the spirit which prevailed
among the founders ot our government, th e
Northern States took immediate steps to
cet rid of slavery, and make the nation what
it was intended it should be, a nation of
freedom to nil men in its broadest sense.
The principle that "all men are created free
and equal' became the foundation of our
social systems. Still further. Believing
that it was the purpose ot "Aashixgton
and his associates that slavery should be en
tirely rooted up out of the land, the spirit
or true lioeny in tne ortn nas steaany re
sisted the extention of that barbarous insti
tution to our free territories. Not so the
South. Although for a time the promise
was fair that the spirit of emancipation
would generally prevail, the South soon
saw that m their system ot servitude they
had the means of increasing their iolitical
strength, and thereby perpetuating their
control ot the National government ."Not
oidy have they retained the institution in
several of the original States, but thev suc
ceeded in extending it over a great part of
the territories. The lamentable results of
this conflict aie well known 10 the whole
people.
We have heretofore shown the conse
quences which have followed in the wake of
the accursed evil of the South, and we pro
pose now as briefly as iossible to indicate
wherein the North has been incalculably
benefitted by strictly adhering to the spirit
of the founders of our National Governemt.
By fostering the spirit of freedom, our peo
ple have developed into a steady, active, en
ergetic race of men. The equality, jower
and strength of all have been established.
No clearly marked distinction of classes has
been recognized, except such as has been
required by the laws of trade and commerce.
We have permitted no discrimination to be
made against labor, but, on the contrary,
have encouraged and dignified it by every
means calculated to establish a firm and har
monious relation between the laboring man
and the capitalist. We have promoted in
dustry in everjT honorable business of life.
Agriculture, manufactures and commerce
have unprecedented' increased, and thrift,
honor and wealth have ever been within the
reach of the whole people. It has always
been permitted to every man to amass rich
es ami secure honors. Lauded property has
been more justly equalized than in any oth
er country m tho civilized world, and the
neat, comfortable cottages which are to be
seen everywhere attest the fact that our
working men are not, in any sense of the
word, dependent beings. We have liberal
ly encouraged the arts and sciences. We
have given to the world vast numbers of
the most important inventions of the age.
The Patent Office Reports show how great
ly we predominate over the South in this
respect The cotton-gin, to which the
South owes so much of its former wealth
and prosj erity, and for which it never paid,
was the work of Yankee brains. Our liter
ature has grown until its worth is acknowl
edged everywhere. Our historians, poets
and essayists are read across the seas.
Education has been fostered until now
our children are instructed in the classics
and the fine arts, even, in our common
schools. School houses are to be seen at
every step almost, and colleges, academies
and universities are to le found almost
without number. New York alone expends
more money annually in tlie education ot
the masses than all the slave States combin
ed. Crime, destitution and pauperism pre
vail to a much less degree than any other
population of the same extent ; and as the
result of all this wo jwssess the sympathy
and respect of all the honorable and liberal
elements of every civilized nation upon the
globe.
The irresistible progress of the Free
States gave the alarm to the Slave States.
They found that the spirit of universal lib
erty and intelligence would inevitably ac
complish the destruction of all systems op
posed to its advancement, and break the
Spwer which Slavery had obtained over the
ational government. To perpetuate their
barbarous system, to fasten the evils of
slavery upon the masses forever, and to es
tablish the predominance of the rich man
over the poor, they determined to destroy
the Union of States which was designed for
the asylum of the oppressed and refuge of
the downtrodden of even elime. The civil
war now convulsing the nation is the re
sult. It is a contest between freedom and
slavery a conflict between right and wrong.
Our faith in Providence has never deserted
us, freedom and right will eventually tri
umph, and that slavery the great wrong
upon the human race, will fall never to rise
again. '
The plotters of the rebellion have made
up the issue themselves, and we have ac
cepted it with God's favor and assistance,
to break all bonds and let the oppressed go
free. Before the war we had no purpose to
interfere with slavery in the States, but
determined that it should never extend to
our free territory. Deprived of the power to
spread, we knew that it must eventually de
cline. The rebellion based upon it, howev
er, both must fall with the final triumph of
our arms. With, slavery abolished, its de
grading influence upon the people will, of
course, disappear. Then as a nation once
more united in the spirit of universal free
dom and intelligence, we will soon recover
from the burdens of the war and return to
the principles upon which our government
was originally establised.

' Rebel Atrocities.
The barbarities practicd by the guerrillas
in Missouri liaVe probably no parallel in any
war on record. They appear to act more
like fiends from hell than men in human
forms and with human impulses. Some of
their atrocities are most horrible to relate.
A jouug man named Hart was murdered in
St Francois county, under circumstances of
the most revolting character. A hen found
after his capture by the bushwhackers, he
was suspended from a tree in such a way as
to nave produced a lingering and excrutia
ting death, his hands beiiiir tied behind his
back by hickory thongs passed through holes
Uored m his wrists. Other marks ot aggra
vated torture were found unon his person.
Another case of extraordinary atrocity was
the killing of an old Methodist preacher
named .Morns, in Platte county, a man sixty
years of age, whose eyes were first put out
and theii he was shot. Numerous other
cases almost as bad have come to our know!

U. S. 1040 BONDS.
These Bonds are issued under the act of Con
gress of March Sth, lSf4, which provides that all
bonds issued under this act shall be exempt from
taxation by or under any State or municipal au
thority. Subscriptions to these bonds are receiv
ed in United States notes or notes of National
Banks. They are to be redeemed im coin, at the
pleasure of the Government, at any period nor
less than ten nor more than'forty yrart from their
date, and until their redemption five pes cent,
will be paid ix x is, on Bonds of not over one
hundred dollars annually and on all other IionJ?
semiannually. The interest is payable on the
first days of March and September in each year.
Subscribers will receive "either Kegistered or
Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered
Bonds are recorded on the books of the U. S.
Treasurer, and can be transferred only on the
owner's order. Coupon bonds are payable to
bearer, and are more convenient for Commercial
uses.
Subscribers to this loan will have the option of
having their Bonds draw interest from March 1st,
by paying the accrued interest in coin x in U
nited States notes, or the notes of National Bank,
adding fifty per cent, for premium.) or receive
them drawing interest from the date of subscrip
tion and deposit. As these Bonds are
Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation,!
their value is increased from one to three per
cent, per annum, according to the rate of tax
levies 1b various parts of the country.
At the present rate of premium on gold thej pay
0VEB EIGHT PEB CENT INTEBEST
in currency, and are of equal convenience as
permanent or temporary investment.
It is believed that no securities offer so great
inducement to lenders as the various descriptions
of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of indebted
ness, the faith of" ability of private parties or
stock companies or seperate communities only is
pledged for payment, while for the debts of tho
United States the whole property of the country
is holdcn to secure the payment of both princi
pal and interest in coin.
These bonds may be subscribed for in sums from
S50 up to any magnitude, on the same terms, sad
are thes made equally availablo to the smallest
lender and the largest capitalist. They can be
converted into money at any moment, and the
holder will have the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state in this connection that
the total Funded Debt of the United States on
which interest is payable in gold, on the 3d dT
of March, 1864, was S76S,965.000. The interest c-a
this debt for the coming fiscal year will be $4V
937,120, while the customs revenue in gold for
the current fiscal year, ending June 5uth, li
has been so far at the rate of over 100,000,000
per annum.
It will be seen that even the present gold rev
enues of the Government are largely in excess
the wants or the Treasurer for the payment or
gold interest, while the recent increase ol theur
iff will doubtless raise the annual receipts from
customs on the same amount of importations, to
$150,090,000 per annum.
Instructions to the National Banks acting
loan agents were not issued from the IniteJ
States Treasury until March 29, but in the fir'
three weeks of April the subscriptions average
more than res millions a week.
Subscriptions will be received by the
First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.
Second National Bank of Philadelphia, I -Third
National Bank of Philadelphia, I a.
AND BY ALL NATIONAL BANKS
which are depositaries of Public money, and D
npsDVPTmt.v niYKS ASD BANKEKi
