Determined To Do It! Eh ? ;

"Mr. Kditor : We are now on the Kve

ment of the Constitution, allowing the sol
diers to vote, or no. There w a jrre?it deal
of excitement in our county concerning it.
Clearfield the Manner county, will always
earn her oame and remain true to the laut.
I would not be hurpri.-:d if she gave 1300
majority against the Miera voting in the
Geld. lut the draft abxorba all common in
terest and excitement. The question arises
"wLit are we going to do" are we going to
Hubmit quietly, and be driven like cattle to
the Hlauhter J louse, for what eh can it be
called ? There U no way, no lojp hole to
crawl out of it, but one. We know that it
is impracticable to procure substitutes, they
will be beyond tho price of poor men, and
the one, and only way to avoid it,iH,to come
out, in open and avowed resistance, which
the people of Clearfield county, are deter
mined on doing."

their "confidence and respect," but their
''oLvJincz" that they Mur a "prolonga

demand. "
V'hat doei tlst mean," cr what do they j
propose to do ? We apprehend that they i
intewl to discourage a hearty response to 1
the President's call fr more volunteers, and
should the quota of the county not be made
up and a draft take place, then they propose
to resist the authorities if an attempt be
made to take them. That this Ls the criau

otherwise, their resolve "to zxprevt ia vA

gives countenance to, or participates in, the
course proposed to be pursued by a set of
designing and ambitious political-aspirants.
To follow their advice, woull be to inaugu
rate civil war in our midst, with all it3 con
comitants anarchy, arson, rapine, murder
following in its wake.
Does any sensible man desire such a state
of things, as we have described? We think
not. Then be warned in time. Suffer not
yourselves to be led into difficulties by a few
selfishly wicked men. They are powerless,
unless they can succeed in inducing the un
thinking and credulous and honest masses,
by flattery and misrepresentation, to enter
into their schemes, and assist them in car
rying their nefarious and diabolical plot in
to effect. We repeat if you love your
homes, your families, your life, and alt that
is near and dear to man, beware of the
machinations of these enemies of your
country, lest the hand of retribution falla
heavily upon you and yours.
And now, in conclusion, we direct the at
tention of the authorities of the Common
wealth, and of the National Government,
to this matter, and hope that they will not
le altogether unprepared, should the events
which we have hero deliniated transpire.
The Kf.I'Clse at PrrEHSBURO. The
York Post concludes an article thus :
"At the same time, it remains to be said
that Grant probably could not have gained
the information concerning the nature f
the enemy's works which he needed in any
other war than by an assault. What we
have endeavored to make plain to the reader
is that the failure of an assault on works
of the strength of those at Petersburg-is not
an uncommon incident in a siege ; that it i
not decisive against Grant at all ; that he
maintains over the enemy the same moral
and physical superiority that he acquired
over them at bnottsylvania Uourt House
and that, as Lee has never since that day
dared to assume the offensive against urant.
so he is in no better position to do this now
than he was before the assault."

that class to the leaders of the Democratic
pmrty ail over the country. Every life sac
rificed, every widow, and all the orphans
created, every dollar's worth of material
and property wasted in the effort to crush
rebellion, will be as certainly charged to the
account of the Democratic leaders, by the
historian of the times in which we live, as
the traitor who survive the war will confess
that, had it not been for the misrepresenta
tion and craft of the Democratic leaders,
the South would never have engaged in the
effort to ditsoive the Union. Accustomed
to the monopoly of the patronage of the
Government, living for 3-ears in fat places
created by the partiality of party, the mo
ment the sentiment of the people in the
free States began to change, and the lead
ers of the Democratic party saw that the
end of their rule was at hand, that moment
they began to undermine the foundations of
the Oovernmcnt. Everything in the North
that was done ia the name of freedom was
exaggerated as an assault on the institution
of slavery every step taken by a free State
in the developement of its soil and the in
crease of its ropulation, was presented to
the South as the evidence of a crusade on
its rights and . franchises. The object of
these misrepresentations was to arouse the
resentment of the people of the slave States.
It was hoped that threatening demonstra
tions in the South would result in a retro
grade movement in the North that parties
in the free States would place themselves
once more in the control of the Democratic
leaders that patronage would again flow to
their pockets that slavery would again be
allowed to rule in the rivil and military de
partments of the Government and that
the operations of free labor all over the land
would be held in check to satisfy the aris
tocracy which traces its lineage in African
blood and looks to the sale of necroes for
the brightening of its titles and the adorn
ment or its persons. Ihe facts of the pres
ent attest this as beinfr the attitude of the
Democratic leaders on the question of tho
war of the slave-holders to destroy our free
form of Government. There is a lesson in
all these facts, which it would be well for all
men seriously to study. In it we have the
whole secret of the rebellion. The strife is
nothing more than the struc-frleof the slave
holders to preserve their political prepon
derance and the democratic leaders to mam
tain themselves in the monopoly of the pat
ronage ot the tjrovernment. 00 far as these
two classes are concerned, this Mar has no
other principle. Hence, we are justified in

Ia our las we gave an accoact of a rebel
rail into Pennsylvania the burning f

beiag hotly pursued by Gen. AverHl ax-i his

Some nine miles frcHi McCocneiLburg,
Gen. AverZl overtook the rebels and defeat
ed them, when they Sed in the direction of
Hancock, and made their escape. On the
4th McCa island and Bradley T. Johnson,
attacked Gen. Kelly's out-post at New
Creek. The fight commenced at 3 p. ia.,and ,
lasted until after dark, when the rebels re
treated leaving their dead and wounded on
the eid. The rebel loss was severe ours
was 25 killed and fifty wounded. The gar
ison raa.de arnos gallant defence.
On the 4th, it was also aoertained that
Mosly and Imbod:n were at Charlestown,

infantry. From their movements it was
supposed that they intended to make a feint
en our line, whilst Early with some 12,000
infantry, guarding a large train vrk.li grain

nandoah valley. Accordingly on Thursday
a rebel force of some ve rc-rnnents again
made their app.eararice at Hagersiown,which
created much excitement tb.rcngh.out the
Cumberland valley. Tlity, however, did
not advance much farther north having
thrown out their pdekets only about 5 miles.
Every pr&para-ion was made for the recep
tion of the rebe's should they advance but
at latest advices they were faliing bade
The disposition of our troop3 is such as to
warrant success, and the speedy expulsion
of the rebel foe from north of the Potomac
Gem Sherilan has been placed in com
mand of all the forces on the Upper Poto
mac, Gen. Hunter having been relieved.
This fact will relieve the hopes of the coun
try, that what is left of the old Army of
Western Virginia and what has been added
to these forces will be of some service to the
nation, under their new leader.
William D. M Gill, sou of Dr. M'Gifl of
Hagerstown, was caught by the Union
scouts on Friday evening last, near the
State line M'Gill says that he belongs to
the First Maryland cavalry, and has been in
service for three years past. He was brought
to Chambersburg on Sunday where he wa
at ooa recognized as on 2 of the leaders of
the M'Causland houseburners who destroy
ed that doomed place The residents of
that portion of the State all recognize Mo
Gill as a bad man, and we hope that Gov
ernment will treat him with severity as he !
seems to have made himself esptecially ob
noxious to Union men. M'Gill was lodged
in HarrLtburg jail on Sunday evening.
Isaac Rohm, J. S. All is and S. J. Haims,
all belonging to the f-th North Carolina reg
iment were also committed to jail at the
saiae time. The parties came into our lines
near Harriaburg as deserters from the rebel
army.
FROM SHERMAN'S ARMY.
The official dispatches from Sherman's
army give some further particulars of the
battle of July 2Sth. The rebels made sev
eral assaults on our lines, which were com
pIetely covered by fortifications, and were
repulsed each time with heavy loss. They
moved up . in solid columns, and most of
their dead and wounded fell into our hands.
Our men buried 642 dead rebels, and many
were yet lying on th" field. The rebel loss
is not less than 5,000, while our whole loss
will not exceed COO. And this is what is
claimed a "victory" by the rebels. A few
more such "victories" will annihilate the
rebel army, and give us possession of At
lanta. On the 26th July, Gen. Stoneman sent a
cavalry forco under the command of Gen.
Ed. McCook, to destroy the Macon and
Western Railroad. They succeeded in de
stroying 18 mHes of the road, and then
started to capture a rebel train of 500 wag
ons, which was going from Atlanta to Ma
con or Columbus. The train was captured
with 500 men including 127 officers. The
wagons -were laden with valuable stores,
including liquors and private papers of
Gen. Hood and others. After possess
sing themselves of what, they wanted, our
men burned the wagons, and then started
on their return with the prisoners and a
great number of mules. They were after
wards overtaken and compdetely surround
ed by a greatly superior force of rebels un
der Ransom. A desperate engagement en
sued, but most of our men succeeded in cut
ting their way out and making their escape
most, if not all of the rebel prisoners
making their escape during the fight Our
men shot 500 mules before they could be
captured by the rebels. McCook's loss in
killed, wounded and prisoners, may reach
800, most of whom are . prisoners. Some
of our men are still coming in. The expe
dition is spoken of as being successful and
highly encouraging to the Union cause.
FROM CHARLESTON.
The defences of Charlestown are still be

Union officers which had fceen placed under
fire in Charleston, have all been exchanged.
They were saluted by our fleet, and entain

Slavery Democrat.
A book has lately been published in Chi
cago called "Citizenship "sovereignty," by
Professor T. S. Wright and Professor J.
IL Agnew, both "democrats," and which
purports to have met the approval of Charles
0'Connor,Dr. S.;F. B. Morse,and other dis
tinguished gentlemen of the same school.
It takes ground distinctly in favor of aristo
cracy, and frankly assumes for its party the
name of "Federal Republicans. ' '
These writers say on page 150 of their
book "If tee cannot have and perpetuate
a high grade of aristocracy, from tehich our
rulers shall be almost uniformly elected, we
can never sustain free government Revo
lutions and anarchy must be our fate, till
we find relief in despotism, and then fortu
nate shall we be if, by establishing an here
ditary aristocracy, with all its burdens, we
shall reach as free a condition as Britons en
joy." Elsewhere they asure the British no
bility that "they have in us." L e. these
model democrats, "earnest coadjutors.'' As
serting throughout the sovereignty of the
States, as against the sovereignty of the
people, they contend that the Union is not
a nation, but a federal republic, and they
make their appeal to the name of the "Fed
erl Republicans."
Why not let them-have it so? Men
have a right to select their own designation;
and while hey rejoice in the title of Feder
