"The Pirst Object of the "War."
The Richmond Sentinel b understood to
be the immediate organ of Jeff Davis. Iu
a late issue it refers to the subject of peace,
defines the position of the .South, and makes
use of the following unequivocal language :
"We of the South consider independence
"a the firxt and great object of the tear,
"and that SEPARATION U essential to inde
jendence." At all times and in all places
liave the rebels held this tone. David him
fcelf lately said, "We are fighting fur inde
"pendence, and that or annihilation we will
"have." Tho.se iu the North who clamor
against the war and demand peace, are pre
sumed, therefore,to be in favor of accepting
the rebel terms in favor of separation and
the independence of the South. There is
no other conclusion. Ueneath the Demo
cratic opposition, which has lately grown so
open, there is concealed the purpose of ac
cording to the South their independence,
and this presupposes, of course, the over
throw of the Government. What would
follow in its train?" The' prostration of
business, the destruction of values, re
pudiation, ruin, national extinction. This
toast inevitably be the price of peace the
kind of peace which the Democratic party
would give us. Earnestly as the people de
sire peace, the price is entirely too great ex
cept for pronounced traitors.
"The result of the vote on the 2d instr, is
just what we intimated it would be in our
issue of the Oth of July. We are not the
less proud of our vote in our own counts'. It
proves that the Democracy of Clearfield are
a thinking people, and that they cannot be
swayed from their duty either by bribes or
fears." Clearfield Republican Any., 10A.
"A thinking people" eh? Well, we
' presume, the following, reported to us by a
friend, will notbeamiss in proof ofthe above
fact, to wit : A certain acting Justice of
. the Peace came to the election early, on the
tnora i ii g of the 2d of August, and soon
' brought his "thinking" aparatus to bear on
the First Amendment, declaring, to the as
sembled wisdom of township, that it was
"au Amendment to the Constitution ofthe
, United States that if all the soldiers in the
army would get a vote he wouldn't mind to
go for it, but he didn't believe in Pennsyl-
', vania only voting and controlling all the
, States in the Union."
, Surely, "the Democracy of Clearfield are
a "thinking people," neighbor, if the Squire
'above referred to Ls a fair specimen; and,
certainly, you have great reason to feel
"proud" of tvat vote, at least.
r The Governor's Message. On our
"outside, to-day will b? found Gov. Curtin's
'message to the Legislature, which is now in
session at ITarrisburg. The main object in
''calling the Legislature together before the
.'day designated at the time of its adjourn
. incut, is to devise measures for the better
organization of the militia, and secure the
State against invasion in the future. The
'suggestions of the Governor are good,
, and will, uo doubt, be promptly acted upon
I by the Legislature. As the message con
tains some facts that were not properly, nor
fully undestood heretofore, we commend it
vto the carclul perusal of our readers.
We understand that Senator Wallace in
his speech on Saturday last, heaped quite a
yPtring of epithets ou us, and stated that we
-?'had threatened to have him (Wallace) ar?
rested." Now, all we have to 'say is that
j either Senator Wallace has been made the
vdupe of some wag, or that he willfully
'misrepresented us on that occasion. We
have always considered Hon. W. A. Wa1
lace a rather intelligent lawyer, and one who
.'understood plain english sufficient to enable
'"him to construe language properly and
hence, we exonorate him from any intention
' al prevarication, and attribute his remark to
''the malignity of others. .
K Millions of dollars worth of goods are be
ing; re-shipped to Europe.
THE COPPEEHEAD POW-WOV.
In accordance with a request published ;n
the Copperhead organ, of this place, (and
by flaming posters stuck up all over the
county) the faithful began to arrive in Clear
field borough a little before noon on Satur
day the Kith day of August, A. D. IbCA,
for the purpose of well, nobody could tell
wJiy unless it was "to take measures to re
sist the draft." JJut, be that as it may, as
we said before, towards noon the delegations
commenced to arric and to march aud coun
termarch to unhitch and hurrah r Jetir
and then hitch up and perambulate our
streets again under the direction of several
marshals, who finally succeeded in bringing
the cavalcade to the stand erected for the oc
casion at the Ixtck part of the Court House.
On arriving at the place we have designa
ted, an organization was soon effected through
the efficient sen-ices of K. J. Wallace, Esq.,
who, we believe, made a few remarks, but
as to what he said we have no informa
tion. 3Ir. W. was followed by Walter Bar
rett, Esq., but in this instance, too, we have
no report of the sayings.
Next came Ex-Governor Bigler. He
opened by remarking that Abraham Lincoln
had surpassed the grants of the Constitu
tion, and to prove this position he would ar
ray Abraham Lincoln against Abraham Lin
coln if there was such an individual as A
braham Lincoln. He then read Mr. Lin
coln's inaugural address and his note ' to
whom it may concern." and stated that as
Abraham Lincoln had usurped the powers
granted him by the Constitution, ir?. had no
more right to obey him than any other per
son who had usurped that instrument ; and
hence he would neither give another dollar
nor another man for the farther prosecution
of the war. He then endeavored to impress
upon the minds of his heartTs the idea that
the rebellion could never be stopped by fight
ing, and intimated that the North was the
aggressor, and hence it was ovr duty to offer
the South terms of peace, and stop the war.
He also depicted the horrors of the great
destruction of life and property reverted
to the wails and tears ami sufferings of the
widows and orphans, and the unprecedented
calamities incident to this bloody war and
all this as the result cf a failure to pass the
Crittenden Compromise. Such, we are in
formed, was the general tenor of Mr. Big
lers remarks.
The next speaker was Senator Wallace.
He read several sections from the Constitu
tion ot Pennsylvania, among others "That
the right of the citizens to bear anus, in de
fence of themselves and the State, shall not
be questioned." We believe he did not de
fine what was meant in this section, but left
his hearers to construe it as they pleased.
He also had something to say about the
State Right's doctrine, and the usurpations
of President Lincoln and poured out a vol
ume of abuse upon the National authori
ties generally no doubt, much to his own
satisfaction, and the gratification of the less
informed portion of his auditory.
The "winding up" was done by IJnyer,
who had to "retreat' to the Court room on
account of a shower of rain. From the
noise that issued forth from the windows,
we ar3 disposed to believe that the Doctor
even surpassed himself, on this occasion
as his abrupt, and often vulgar anecdotes
generally "bring in the laugh."
Such were the doings of this "monster"
mass meeting. That many of those who'
came to town were disappointed, we have
little doubt, as several were heard to say,
"That they didn't know a d d bit more
now, than they did before they came here."
What the resutwill be, time alone will show.
I3ut of one thing we are confident, that a
great portion of those in attendance came
here under the impression that measures
would be concocted to resist the draft. In
deed, many said so openly. It is really as
tonishing that so many honest and well
meaning men should suffer themselves to be
thus misled by a small clique of designing
politicians. But a few more such meetings,
we opine, will have a salutary effect, and
convince many of the trick that is being
played off at their expense.
The Oswego (N. Y. ) Palladium learns
that a conspiracy has been formed to invade
that city by a party of Secessionists or rebel
sympathizers from Canada. The party has
been organized at Kingston ; and the most
astounding part of the report, as it reaches
ur, is that the raiders are to be headed by
an English nobleman who holds a commis
sion in the British service. The plan is to
embark under the guise of citiezns on board
one of the regular passenger steamers ply
ing between the American and Canadian
ports, and to land there under cover of dark
ness. Luckily the plot has been discovered.
Every preparation has been made to meet
and defeat the invaders.
An address of syiu pat hy has been issued
by the people of Geneva to the people of
the United States. It reminds the latter
that Switzerland has also had her intestine
struggles, and she has issued from them
stronger than she was before. It will be
the same with the United States. The ad
dress says that the Confederates have not a
single just complaint against- the Federal
Government, and that their object in Jiebel
lion is simply to maintain slavery. It hopes
that no European Government will lower it
self so far as to recognize a Power establish
ed upon such a basis.
The Reason. The Dems. of the Cop
perhead persuasion seem to have a regard
for fitness of things. They have illustrated
this in a striking manner, by changing the
time for holding their National Convention
from the 4th of July, the birth-day of A
merican Independence, to the 29th of Au
gust, the birth-dag of Benedict Arnold.
How Stands the Union Cause ?
"Why has Abraham Lincoln failed to
suppress the rebellion?" is the question
which is flippant shouted in the ears of
gaping crowds by Copperhead siouters in
all parts ol the country, at least in such
places as can afford sufficient numbers of
willing listeners to their virulent and traitor
ous slang. The soldierly accomplishments
of the Rebel generals areextoiled. and Co p
jterhead newspapers are continually ringing
the changes on the same exalted qualities.
Now, with such distinguished capacity as
the Rebels have possessed and do now pos
sess, there ought to bo some general or par
ticular results, some brilliant successes re
corded by which their superiority would be
plainly demonstrated. These, it must be
confessed, are wanting, or if they have any
existence, we have not heard of treni.
Now, what the people need to know is not
so much on which side the bst generalship
has leen used, as on which side most has
been accomplished. To what extent has
Jeff Davis succeeded in establishing his in
dependent Confederacy of Slave holders?
and. to what extent has President Lincoln
succeeded in suppressing the Rebellion?
We are cf those who. from the outset, earn
estly desired the complete overthrow of the
rebel conspirators against the integrity of
Government. and it i- natural that we should
deplore 3113" failure ii the consuruation so
devoutly wished. We deplore it, but with
a deep sense of" gratitude for the long line
of successes w hich have marked the difficult
pathway towards the desired result. We
remember, as do most of our readers, that
when the rebels declared war against the
Unitsd States Government, they started
with a Treasury piled full of gold which had
been plundered from the Nation ; with near
ly two-thirds of the valiant offspring of
West Point with which to officer their ar
my, with stolen arms, ammunition, equip
ments, ships and forts. The regular army
scattered in the most remote portions of tike
continent, and the navy in the distant seas of
the world. They also had in their poses
sion H',401 square miles more territory than
the North ; also about four millions slaves
to perform the labor at home and to pro
vide the necessary support of the army in
the battle-field, while the white population
had 110 restraints to hinder them becoming
soldiers: also, the sympathy of foreign des
pots, and the co-operation of sympathizers
under other Governments : also, the City of
Washington crammed with Secessionists to
watch for information, and the country at
large permeated with spies, and also the
promised sympathy and active co-operation
ofthe conservator masses of ihe North.
They 3lso possessed the Missi-sippi from its
sourse to the Gnlf of Mexico. They pos
sessed every slave State, arid they exercised
over every inhabitant there the iron rod
of oppression, and the threat of desolation
in the event of disloyalty to the rebel cause.
On the other hand, the United States
Government started with a Treasruy, not on
ly depleted, but in debt ; and were subject
to all the disadvantages easily to be inferred
from the very superior advantages jossessed
by the rebels, which we have referred to
merely in outline. During the three years
of the war, our Government has raised an
army, the exploits of which have command
ed the admiration of the whole world : they
have built up a navy, the construction and
the execution of which have thundered to
the ends of the earth, shaking the thrones
of Europe, and inaugurating a revolution in
the navies of tin; world. Our navy fired a
few guns in the channel between France and
England and when the smoke had cleared
away governmental sj'iupathy had vanished
with it. In Missouri, Kentucky, Tennes
see, liOuisiaua, Maryland, West Virginia,
and the District of Columbia, the people
have seen the glorious light of freedom, and
have adopted the stars of the national flag
as the emblems of Liberty. The Mississip
pi is open and under our control from Cairo
to the sea. Our armies hold sway iu Vir
ginia, Georgia, the North and South Caro
lines, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis:
issippi, Florida and Texas. Our navy is
posted at every point of importance along
the Atlantic sea-board, and holds the rivers
in the interior under complete control. En
emies abroad have hem trausfornisd into
friends, and old friends have been made
more thoroughly established in our favor.
A thousand things have been done besides,
of which history will speak more particular
ly than we can in the brief limits of an arti
cle. Now, these are things which every
loyal man believed at the beginning f the
war ought to have been done. Thank Gou,
they have been done.
What have the relxds accomplished with
all the advantages they possessed at the be
ginning of the rebellion? Have they gain
ed ground or lost it? Has Lee ever driven
Grant back from his position? Has
Grant not driven Lee back? Have the
rebel forces not been driven back into the
heart of their own country a distance of two
hundred miles by Sherman ? Have the
rebels prevented Admiral Farragut cap
taring Fort Gaines? What have the rebels
accomplished? What gained? Has not
their whole course been paved with losses ?
Is not the rebellion as miserable a failure as
any failure could be ? If it is not, we should
like to know what success is. We assert
that Mr. Lincoln, has, all things consider
ed, accomplished as much toward what lie
set out to do as could be expected by a rea
sonable people. What, has been done, all
criticisms of plans and motives, and ways
and means aside, is a reasonable guarantee
that all that is necessary to be added in or
der to complete the suppression of the re
bellion will be done, provided the means be
granted by the people. And the people know
what they have to do with it. Pittsburg

Escape and Recapture of a Union Officer.
Major Harry White, of Pennsylvania, a
prisoner with the rebels, escaped a few days
since, with three other officers, while being
conveyed in cars to Saulsburrv. N. C. Ma
jor bite was recaptured, and is now eon-
nneu in Columbia, . u. A. letter received
by his father, Judge White, states that all
the prisoners are suffering greatly for pro
per food and clothing.
The Commissioner of Pensions has deci
ded that hundred-day soldiers are entitled
to Pensions in all respects the same as the
three-years men. He says : " The law un
der which all pensions based on service in
the present war are allowed is unequivocal in
its language, making no distinction between
those engaging for a longer or shorter period."
THE WAR ISTEWS.-
Gen. Sheridan Defeats Early.
The following official report,;by Gen. Av
erill, of his recent brilliant success at Moor
field, has been transmitted by Gen. Hunter
to the War department : "I overtook the
enemy,uriderMcCausiand.Johnson.Gilmorc
and MeNeal, about three thousand strong,
here this morning, and attacked him at day
light. The numlnjr of killed and wounded
of the enemy Is unknown, but large. Three
battle-flags were captured, with four pieces
artillery all the enemy had ; four hundred
and twenty prisoners, including six field
and staff and thirty-two company officers ;
over four hundred hoTses and equipments,
and a quantity of small arms.' CoL Peter,
21 st Virginia, rebel, was mortally wounded.
General Johnson was captured, with his
colors and three of his staff, but passing un
distinguished among the prisoners, effected
hii escape. The enemy was broken up,
pursued and many killed, upon every road,
for a distance of ten miles. My loss is sev
en killed and twenty-one wounded.
New York, Aug. 14 The ( an merritF
Washington special says : There is positive
and reliable information in the city to
the effect that Gen. Sheridan has defeated
Early iu even- encounter, and that the lat
ter is retreating down the va;ley,cIoseIy pur
sued by our cavalry and infantry. The
lb raid ' Harper Ferry correspondence of
the loth says : Sheridan advanced by way
of Charleston and Berrysville to Winchester.
Our Cavalry had some skirmishing with the
enemy at various points between Berryville
and Winchester. They came upon a party
of some fifty rebels engaged in threshing
grain, and surprised an.l captured the entire
squad. Early was completely surprised by
the approach of our army, and made but
slight resistance. He found his position
flanked by Sheridan's maneuvres and fell
back during the night, having attempted
an artillery duel this afternoon. Our latest
information is to the effect that Sheridan
passed through Winchester yesterday morn
ing. No details of our losses are received.
Some fifteen or twenty killed and wounded.
The latter are in the hospital at Berrysville.
An Attack on Mobile.
We have the pleasing intelligence that
Admiral Farragut has made a success
ful advance on 3Iobile. On the morning of
the 5th August, at 8 o'clock, our fleet pass
ed the forts at the entrance of the Bay.
Three Monitors and fourteen gunboats ran
the gauntlet, under the fire of Forts Mor
gan and Gaines, iu safety. One Monitor
was blown up. however, opposite the forts,
by a torpedo. On arriving inside an en
gagement took place between our boats and
the rebel rams, but after an obstinate resist
ance the Tennessee surrendered her com
mander, Buchanan, lost a leg in the action
and is now a prisoner. The Selma was cap
tured and the Gaines was beached, and the
other rebel gunboats made their way up the
Bay and are now blockaded so that they can
not make their escape. Fort Powell was
evacuated and blown up by the rebels, find
ing they could not hold it against our attack.
Gen. Granger's land forces invested Fort
Gaines and soon silenced the water batter
ies, and later advices state that it is now in
our possession. Some of our Monitors were
also near Fort Morgan, and we anticipate
its surrender ere long, as well as that of the
city of Mobile. Fort Gaines was mounted
with fifty guns, and was provisioned for a
six-month's siege. Its garrison consisted
of six hundred men.
Geaeral McCook's Eaid.
A correspondent with Sherman's arnry,
after detailing the successful movements of
General Stoneman's raiding party, gives a
very interesting account of General" McCook's
separate expedition. This expedition ac
complished its work, and had started from
Lafayette to join General Stoncmau, when
it was attacked by a superior rebel force.
After various assaults, in which both sides
lost heavily, Gen. McCook seeing the rebels
closing iu on him, ordered the Second Indi
ana cavalry to charge them, which they did
with effect In this charge his aid-de-camp.
Lieutenant R. S. Hill, nobly distinguished
himself, for he charged at the head of his
old regiment. The General now seeing him
self surrounded on all sides, and finding
there was no chance of escape but by cutting
his way through, destroyed his battery and
ordered his command to cut their way
through the enemy's line. The cominan'i
now rallied, and, cheered on by rheir Gen
eral, made a sweeping charge, actualy cut
ting their way through and through. They
suffered severely ; but they inflicted equal
punishment on the enemy. They succeed
ed in crossing th Chattahoochie near Bushy
creek, and reached Marietta on the evening
of the 3d, with about sixteen hundred men,
and squads are hourly coming in, in addition
to Colonel Brownlow's First Tennessee,
which regiment suffered severely, and Major
Burdy's Fourth Indiana, both of which Had
arrived the night previous ; so that our loss
will most likely not amount to more than
five hundred, while the enemy must have
lost more than this, besides their wagons
mules and stores in all amounting to at least
one million dollar's worth. We lost our
ambulances, and had to leave our prisoners
in the hands of th e enemv.
The Richmond Enquirer urges that no
prisoners be taken hereafter from raiding
parties, but that all be put to death that
can be reached. It says : "Dead Yankees
require no guards, and eat no rations ; they
never escape, and they fight no more battles;
when once lost they are never found." 3Iay
this rule work well both ways ?
Pe.wvsylva.via State Eair. The State

Official Betum3 of the State Election.
MAJORITY 94,494.
Below we give the official returns of the
i special election held on Tuesday August 2d,
14. The vote is a desisive one, and will
be a matter of much rejoicing anion? our
j soldiers ht the field, now that they have the
privilege ot helping to chose their rulers,
notwithstanding Judge Woodward denied
them that right by his decision. The table
presents one noticeable fact which should not
be overlooked by the soldiers and their
friends, to wit : that none but Copperhead
counties gave majorities againtt the First
Amendment.

"WTiy Chanberalrarg was Burned.
The following explanation f the burning
of Chamltcrsburg will Ikt read with interest.
Just before leaving Williamsp'.'.-rt, .Jeneral
Early made some public remarks iu regard
to the burning of Chanibersburg. which are
of interest. He said that he ordered 2KK),
1 O in gold to be demanded of the town,
and that if the demand was not complied
with in three hours the town was to be burn
ed. That the sum of money demanded was
to reimburse Andrew Hunter, Win. Lucas,
Edmond J. Lee and lion. Alex. 11. Boteler
for their losses caused in the destruction of
their property by order of General Hunter,
and that he felt perfectly justified in the
course he had pursued. He explained how
General Hunter had burned the house of
his (Hunter's) cousin, in Jefferson county
Virginia, and taken that cousin (Andrew
Hunter) ofFas prisoner, and said that the act
was a brutal one, because the inmates of the
house were not allowed time to save even a
portion of their clothing. In concluding, he
said it would be the future policy of their
government to rataliate in the severest man
ner for all barbarities practiced against them.
He delivered these remarks in a calm, firm
manner. In a private conversation he said
that no man more than himself depreciated
the necessity of such an act as the one com
mitted at Chanibersburg, but that he sanc
tioned it, believing he was only doing his
duty to those people, who had suffered hy
Gen. Hunter's orders, and again because he
believed that by retaliation such barbarous
practices would be sooner discontinued than
in anj other way. He was particularly se
vere on Gen. Hunter, and said that, should
he fall a prisoner into their hands, his lot
would be a hard one.
Eebels Captured by Segro Troops.
Tle Point Lookout correspondent of the
Baltimore American says :
'"On Friday la.-t three hundred and thirty
three rebels arrived from Petersburg and the
front. They say they were captured by the
negro troops belonging to General liurn
side's corps. They belonged to the 3d and
f8th South Carolina. They say that the
negro troops shot them down by hundreds,
and it was with the greatest difficulty that
the officers ofthe negro troops could make
them desist, the negroes all the time yelling
out, 'Remember Fort J'illow.' These men give
the officers of the negro troops great credit
for their humanity in rescuing them from
certain death, and seem perfectly satisfied
that negroes will fight. They belonged to a
portion of the regiments blown up by the
explosion, and claim that they onlv lost three
genuine guns, the rest being Quakers or
wooden guns.
