ME. BIGLEE'S CEEED.
In the Clearfield Republican of August
17th, we find a report of the remarks of Mr.
Bigler, made at the "Democratic" meeting
held in this place on the 13th, from which
we take several extracts, to wit :
"Mr. B. said he had uniformly advised o
bedience to law ; this was a rule of his life
even though the lawmight be of doubtful
authority or utility ; but he intended " that
obligation as much for those in as for those
out of authority. He said the President
was a3 much bound by the law as the hum
blest citizen in the land. In the execution
of the law the President can claim our obe
dience, but whenever he transcends the lim
its of the law, said Mr. B.', I have as much
right to command him as he has to com
mand me ; but disobedience to law on his
part is a much graver offence that disobedi
ence on the part of a private citizen."
That is, Mr. Bigler contends if one man
commits a wrong, he would be justified in
committing another if Mr. Lincoln should,
in Mr. Bigler's opinion, violate a law, Mr.
Bigler would be justified in violating one in
an opposite direction. But, hear him
again. . .
"Mr. Bigler said that, as for himself, whilst
he was willing to do and suffer anything
for the Union and Government as made by
the Fathers, he would not contribute one
man, nor one farthing, to prosecute the war
for the unlawful purposes set forth by Mr.
Lincoln. ' '
By which, we presume, Mr. Bigler means
that he is opposed to the draft, and would
resist it, as well as the collection of taxes,
though he has not exhibited the moral cour
age to say so in that many words.
The whole tendency of Mr. Bigler's
speech, as reported in his home organ, is to
stir up his Democratic friends to unlawful
acts and lead them into trouble which they
may regret as long as they live.
Grant's Position.
That Gen. Grant's late movements are
highly important in themselves and porten
tious of still more important operations soon
to follow, is very evident. They are full of
strategy and significance. While his left
has cut the Weldon Kailroad below Peters
burg, his right has pushed towards Fair
Oaks. This must have the effect to confuse
the enemy, attenuate their line and place
them at a disadvantage. Although the de
tails are properly withheld from the public,
we learn that our fortified line on the north
side of the James now extends about seven
miles from the Dutch Gap and Curl's Neck
bend of the river, in a northerly direction
to White Oak Swamp, which, it will be
seen by the map, puts our right a-s near
Richmond as it would )e opposite to Fort
Darling. It is entirely evident that the
the Lieutenant General is working on a plan
entirely original, which contemplates im
portant results.
The Miltonian says : "Some copperheads
in Columbia county, Sugarloaf, came to a
school-house where Rev. F. P. Ever was
preaching, on Saturday last, and wanted to
know whether he was a "Democrat or an
Abolitionist." saying that if he was the for
mer he might continue to preach, but if the
latter they would hang him. He was com
pelled to escape through a window. This
is one of the ways in which Democrats evince
their love of peace. "
The Pennsylvania soldiers in Gen. Craw
ford's division of the fifth corps, in response
to circular issued by him, have contributed
over one thousand dollars in aid to the Cham-
bersburg sufferers No doubt the other
commands will imitate the example.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?
In reading the speeches" delivered at the
late Copperhead meeting in this place, and
the resolutions then passed, as reported in
the Republican, we were forcibly impressed
with the fact, that they do not contain one
word against the rebels, but are a tissue of
abuse, from beginning to end, of the Na
tional authorities of the Union.
As these men profess to be the especial
ketpers of the Constitution, and are contin
ually talking about its being "violated,"
"usurped," and set aside by our rulers,
why don't they also tell their hearers of its
violations by the rebels ? Why don't they
inform their followers of how the rebels
stole the arms of the United States rob
bed its Treasury took up arms and fired
upon our-flag set r.side our Constitution
and formed a new one murdered our citi
zens and burned their houses and stole their
horses and cattle and grain? Can these
great sticklers for the Constitution see no
wrong in such things.and are these deeds no
violations of the Constitution and laws in
their eyes? It would appear not. Judg
ing them from their acts and sayings, ro
matter how great r.n offence the rebels may
commit, it is all right and Constitutional on
their part ; but if, perchance, our National
rulers, who are using every effort to preserve
our Government from destruction and our
property from the torch of vandal traitors,
do anything that, in the estimation of these
Soltins, is not strictly and plainly defined in
the Constitution, they at once raise a great
hue and cry about "usurpations," "viola
tions," etc., of the Constitution.
Now, why do these men adopt such a
course ? Is it because they love and revere
the Constitution more than their neighbors?
Is it because they desire the preservation
of the Union more than those whom they
deride and abuse and slander ? Is it be
eause they are a law-abiding people above
all others ? Nay ! these can not be the rea
sons. If they were, certaiuly then, these
men would not refuse to give more men and
money for the further prosecution of the
war they would not deride our rulers as
"corrupt" and "lawless" and declare that
those rulers had "forfeited their obedience ;"
and neither would they denottnce;)the acts of
the legally elected President of the United
States as "revolutionary," while they nev
er, in a single word, denounce the lawless
and fiendish and revolutiouar3' doings of the
traitors and rebels. Then, what are we to
infer from the course pursued by them ?
The only plausible inference that can be
drawn from their acts and sayings is, that
they are not really the law-abiding citizens
they would have the public believe, and
hence they indirectly counsel a resistance
of the conscription and revenue laws that
they would rather see the downfall of the
Uniou than that rebellion and slavery should
perish together that they are ready to
make peace on any terms if they can only
perpetuate- slavery and thereby strengthen
their party organization and, failing in
their object, they are willing to acqui
esce in an irretrievable dismemberment of
the Union, the downfall of freedom, and
in the establishment, of an Independent
Southern Slave Confederacy upon the ruins
of this once great and free Government.
That such is the object and tendency of
the Copperhead Peace party, throughout
the Northern States, little doubt exists a
fact, which is, from day to day, more fully
developing itself.
The Confederate and Copperhead Alliance
Confessed.
The following extract from the Richmond
Examiner of August 8th, is pregnant with
meaning :
"However, if we have not the exciting
scene of an election at home, there is some
compensation in watching the movements
of the campaign in the country to the north.
It is, in truth, a thousand times more inter
esting even to us, than any election here at
home could be, because the question of war
and peace depend much more upon the for
mer than upon the latter. It is the Yankee
nation which makes the war, and which
must end it. If in this election they pro
nounce themselves for peace, then peace it
is ; if their voice is still for war, then we
have no choice but to indulge them. It is
singular to remark that these States have
uot only a profound interest in that, foreign
election (though without votes to influence
it,) but are exercising a most controlling
power in deciding it. They also are fight
ing in the Yankee Presidential campaign,
after their own manner. If Grant is en
gineering for Lincoln's re-election on the
Chickahominyand Appomattox, while Sher
man is logrolling for him about Atlanta, on
the other hand, we regard Gen. Lee as a
pipelayer for the Democratic Convention in
Chicago; and Gen. Early it is said, has
gone over to stump the States of Maryland
and Pennsylvania for the peace party. A
certain war politician named Hunter, had
engagements to meet Early on the stump,
but it is feared he will back out of them ;
and there is probably nothing to prevent
our eloquent advocate of peace from sweep
ing those States."
"Early is stumping the States of Mary
land and Pennsylvania for the Peace party,"
says the Richmond Examiner. The loyal
men of these States will not lose sight of
this frank avowal. They will naturally de
sire to know whether the invasion has been
made in concert with the Copperhead lead
ers ; whether their fields are being laid
waste, their houses burned down, and their
families driven forth to beg or perish, by
the advice of the domestic traitors who
style themselves "Peace Democrats."
Twenty-six boxes of revolvers were seized
in Indianapolis, on the 17th, which were in
tended for the "Sons of Liberty' ' a traitor
ous organization to resist the government.
THE "WAR 3KTE"WS.
Gen. Grant's Movements. .
At early dawn on Saturday the 13th the
ever-fighting 2d Corps suddenly were dis
covered marching into City Poiut, Va.,
with bands playing, bayonets gleaming and
tern banners fluttering in the breeze, and
every-body was on ihe qui rite to know
what was up. Tha shipment of the troops
at once commenced at two points, the ord
nance and forags docks. As each vessel
was loaded she headed down stream and an
chored off Light House Point. But "why
anchor there, if bound for Washington?" was
the query frequently put by the uninformed.
At midnight the mystery was explained, by
one vessel after another gliding silently but
rapidly up stream, and several hours later
the troops were all landed at Deep Bottom,
near Dutch Gap, on the north side of the
James, aud not a great ways below Fort
Darling.
Turner and Tarry's divisions of the 10th
Corps also crossed over to Deep Bottom on
the same night. Foster's division, which
had been for some time posted at Deep
Bottom, was advanced by General Bir
ney, a Jittle after sunrise on Sunday
morning pushing the rebel line of skirmish
ers before them for some considerable dis
tance, when the 4th 3Ias.achusetts regi
ment, Col. Osborne, charged and broke the
rebel line, and captured seventy prisoners.
In the meantime Gregg's cavalry had clear
ed the roads for Hancock, and he got his
2d corps in position on Birney's right on the
New Market road, which leads from the
vicinity of Malvern Ililldireetly toRiclunond.
The position thus taken by Hancock is about
tei? miles from Richmond. Gen. Birney
made an assault on the enemy's front, and
carried a line of his works which guard the
approaches to Richmond in that quarter.
He captured six pieces of cannon and two
mortars. Some advices state the number
of mortars at four pieces.
The enemy fell back to a strong position,
and the 2d division of the 2d corps was
drawn up in line of battle beyond where
Hancock ca pturcd the four guns two weeks
ago. Here the 1st brigade, under Col. Macy,
took the lead and charged across a corn field,
over a hill and down into a ravine, where
they came to it swamp with a stream on the
either side, the ground covered with impen
etrable brush on the margin. During all
this time they were exposed to a heavy fire
from the rebel artillery, which did a good
deal of damage. It was found impossible to
cross the ravine, and the men were halted
and lay concealed, as well as possible, 'until
dusk, when they were withdrawn. The di
vision lost at least :) men in the engage
ment. The 2d and .d Divisions, which
were in support, lost about two hundred and
fifty from the effects of the rebel artillery.
The wounded were all brought off.
Artillery and musketry firing was kept up
all d ly. Our forces succeeded in carrying
two lines of the enemy's earthworks, the
one being only about nine miles from Rich
mond. Besides the earthworks, our men
captured a battery that bore on our men
who are engaged in cutting a canal across
the narrow neck of land at Dutch Gap.
The position occupied by our troops is said
to be a strung one and can easily be
held by them, and is only about two
miles from Fort Darling. Our loss amounts
to about 1000 killed, wounded and missing.
The enemy's loss is equally heavy. We
took about 40; J prioners besides the wouncd
that fell into our hands. Later advi:es
state that heavy .skirmishing was kept up
until Wednesday, since when we have no
information of what is going on.
Attack on the "Weldon Eailroad.
Washington, August 20. The following
was received here to-night, dated Headquar
ters Army of Potomac, August ISth, Eve
ning :
This morning at four o'clock the Fifth
Corps started on an expedition to cut the
Weldon railroad at Reams' Station, taking
four days ra.ious with them. This Corps
was withdrawn from the left front some days
ago, and have been in reserve ever since.
They reached the road about seven o'clock,
and the first division being in the advance
had skirmishing, with a force of the enemy
stationed there to protect the road ; they
fell back rapidly, and the loss on either side
was light. After placing the troops in line
to meet any attack which might be made,
the work of tearing up the track was com
menced, and prosecuted with vigor for sev
eral hours ; but at noon they were interrupted
at their labor by the appearance of a force
of the enemy who were advancing along the
railroad from Petersburg in line of battle.
They proved to be Hill's corps, which has
been lying in reserve for the past few days,
and who were advanced at double quick as
soon as they became aware of our intention
and movement. The Second division, Gen.
Agnes commanding, held the advance on
the railroad, the Third and Fourth support
ing on the right, while the First was placed
to cover the left and prevent any surprise
from that direction. The attack on the
Second division was very determined, but
our men met it in gallant style, driving the
enemy back with heavy loss. After repeat
ed attempts tolfbrce our line they finally,af
ter about two hours hard fighting, gave up
the idea and fell back some distance, keep
ing up a fire all afternoon from their batter
ies and skirmishers. The 15th New York
heavy artillery particular distinguished it
self in the engagement, and Col. Weidcnck
its commander was severely wounded across
the back ; the movement was a complete
surprise to the enemy, the pickets stationed
in the vicinity being so astonished that they
had barely time to pseape. Some few pris
oners were taken, several of whom were
wounded. The track is torn up over a mile,
and our troops are still holding the position
at dark to-night, and to-morrow they will
completely destroy the ties and rai's, unless
the rebels shall visit the neighborhood in
too strong numbers. The loss on our side
is about three hundred.
Thanks to the Gulf Squadron.
Secretary Wells has addressed a letter of
thanks to Admiral Farragut, the concluding
paragraphs of which are as follows: "The
possession of Mobile Bay, which you have
acquired, will close the illicit traffic which
has been carried on by running the block
ade in that part of the Gulf, and gives point
and value to the success you have achieved.
Great results in war are seldom obtained
without great risks ; and it was not expected
that the harbor of Mobile would be secured
without disaster. The loss of the gallant
Craven and his brave companions with the
Trcumsih a vessel that was impenetrable to
the guns of Fort Morgan, by a concealed
torpedo, was a casuality against which no
human foresight could guard. While the
nation awards cheerful honors to the living,
she will ever hold in greatful remembrace
the lamented dead who perilled their lives
for the country and fell in her cause. To
you and the brave officers and sailors of your
squadron who participated in this great a
chievement, the Deportment tenders its
thanks, aud those of the government and
country."
The Richmond Sentinel of Wednesday, has
a telegram of Tuesday f rom Mobile which
says that on Monday evening two Monitors
and five gunboats crossed Dog River Bar,
and on coming up within two miles of the
obstructions, opened fire fi r three hours on
our batteries and gunboats, doing no dam
age. Our batteries were silent, but one of
our gunboats replied handsomely, and at
sunset the enemy hauled off.
Guerillas in Kentucky.
Kentucky seems to be still swarming with
guerrillas. On Saturday last three hundred
guerrillas attacked Selma, Livingston coun
ty, Kentucky, garrisoned by thirty of the 4th
Kentucky, and after a sharp fight were re
pulsed with a loss of eight killed, fifteen
badly wounded, and several captured. The
federal loss was three killed, four captured,
one lnortaly wounded, and several slightly.
Several horses on each side were killed.
Twenty-five guerrillas, under Martin, were
in Trimble county on Sunday near the Obio,
raiding down the road to West port, comiiiit
tingdepredationson the people. They plun
dered West Point to the amount of four thous
and dollars in goods and money. The town
of Henderson is still excited; Johnson is
camped on the fair grounds, threatening the
place. About seventy-three guerrillas were
in Browns-boro and Oldham, plundering
the towns and causing creat excitement.
Attack en Macon, Ga.
If an anxiety was felt in regard to the
fate of Macon, it is dissipate; 1 by the des
patch from Nashville. To the demand of
the rebel general for a surrender, Col. Sei
bold gave the soldierly answer that he was
put there to defend the fort, not to surren
der it, and with his small force he bravely
kept at bay the 5.000 rebels who rushed in
upon him. They swarmed into the town,
but he defended himself behind his earth
works till Gen. Steadman reached him
with reinforcements. These reinforcements,
"with a raging cheer and an impetuous rush
which was irresistible," says the despatch,
"charged upon the rebels, who broke and
fled in the utmost confusion." . These brave
fellows, who thus saved Macon, were the
Fourth United States Infaotry, colored.
Grand Eaid by McCook.
Loi isvillk, August 15. We learn from
an officer of the 2d Indiana Cavalry, that in
the late raid McCook started out with 2,200
men, entirely independent of Stoncman, cap
tured or destroyed 1,1 f0 wagons, over 3,000
mules and horses, a vast amount of Quar
termaster's stores and commissar' stores;
destroyed the railroad and telegraph at Pal
metto, and both sides of Love Joy's station,
captured 1,000 prisoners, of which number
72 Avere commissioned officers, including
Gen. Ross and most of his Tennessee brig
ade. McCook was surrounded near New
man by Wheeler, Roddy, Jackson and an
infantry division. He lost about 500 men,
and fell back gradually.
Altogether Likely.
The correspondent of the World, describ
ing an interview with some rebel officers un
der the truce to bury the dead, after the as
sault of Petersburg, says of the rebels:
"They talked in the most confident man
ner of the war being finished this summer
or fall, and that if Mr. Lincoln, . is defeated
this fall an arrangement will be made ichich
will secure peace. Many questions were
asked as to the prospect of electing an anti
abolitionist, and as to who the candidate was
likely to be." .
There is no doubt at all that the rebels ex
pect just such a peace as they want, "if Mr.
Lincoln is defeated," We don t often find
so frank an admission of this belief in Peace
Democratic Journals. What the rebels
want to have is independence, and they
know that they wjll get it if Lincoln is de
feated. '
Speculation in the oil country is still on
the increase. There are transactions made
daily which would astonish people in any
other locality.
Only Traitors Thank Them.
We have carefully watched the character
of the reception given to "protest' of Messrs.
Ben. Wade and Harry Winter Davis, by the
press of the country, and it is now clear that
none are so hugely gratified as those which
represent parties opising the cause of the
Government. Indeed, we can safely write,
that no men of sense or respectibilty outside
the Democratic party, are better pleased
with the performances of Messrs. ,Wade and
Davis than they are themselves. The day
was when Wade and Davis had some influ
ence Mr good but that is gone by, and it
would now appear that they are only capa
ble of evil. The copperhead press of the
country alone approves the "protest." It
affords the traitors large capital to work mis
chief to the Government, and Wade and
Davis have the satisfaction of knowing that
at, the hour when our prospects in the field
and on the wave are most propitious uf suc
cess, they cast a brand into our midst to kin
dle flames such as the rebels lit at Cham
bersbnrg. Hereafter, when peace is restor
ed, if V-nth men survive, Ben Wade and
Henry Winter Davis will be two of the most
pitiful fallen statesmen "in the land, fair
specimens of what ambition can do when it
overleaps itself. Telegraph.
The Eebel Desire for Peace Hypothetical.
SFrom the Richmond Examiner.
Lincoln wants a peace on hi own
teruis, so we also want a peace on ours, and
the terms mutually exclude and destroy each
other. It is not, therefore, tlt same peace
we desire ; and the word itself, bandied a
bout in this way, loses all meaning, and sig
nifies literally nothing at all. It has become
a hateful word, and should be left exclusive
ly for the use of Buffalo orators in a neigh
boring State, if any of that sort, still drivel
and snivel. Let us get rid of the whole vile
cant and say at once we are for war, and
nothing but war, until, as Davis is said to
have-said, "the last of this generation falls
in Lis tracks," and then that we mean to
pass it to the next as an inheritance. It is
for those who have unjustly and wantonly
invaided our country to offer us peace ; and
when thej' do, they will still offer it in vain
until their armed men are withdrawn from
the sod of these Confederate States, and
thefellon flag of stripes is hauled down from
every fort within our borders. After that
it will be time enough to prate about peace.
Now, the very word is nonsense."
Postal Money Order.
In order to perfect the system, only the
largest offices, say two hundred or three
hundred in number, will be at first designa
ted. The instructions to postmasters, blanks,
etc., have been prepared by the department,
and are now in the hau ls of the p iblie prin
ter. The instructions were found to involve
considerable intricacy, the principal embar
rassment being the want of a central Metro
politan bank with local blanches, to fa
cilitate prompt returns of funds accumula
ting in the hands of postmasters, or to sup
ply funds in ease of necessity. Not having
these faei ities, as in England and Canada,
it will be indispensable to adopt substantial
ly the Post Office Department system of
drafts and d -posits, using post offices in lieu
of banks. The Postmaster General designs
putting this important branch of his depart
ment into operation on the first day of Octo
ber next.
The Tam.aha.ssee. This Rebel pirate
arrived at Halifax, doubtless for ihe purpose
of taking on a supply of coal, of whic h she
must have been m need. That she will be
blocked in that "neutral port" by a fleet of
Union vessels, before she can receive her
cargo and put to sea, is highly probable.
We have the cheering intelligence from
Washington that thirteen men of war, large
and small, mounting in the aggregate about
one hundred guns, have been sent by the
Navy Department in pursuit of the pirate.
They cannot be long in ascertaining her
whereabouts for, prior to their sailing, her
course was marked by the flames of not less
than fifty burning vessels.
With the rebels it is "Slavery or death."
With the patriots it is "Liberty or death."
Who can for a moment doubt which is to win
in this great contest ? To suppose that Sla
very is to triumph over Lilerty especially
as the latter has the most material and phys
ical jiower is perfectly absurd. Then let
loyal men be in good heart, and do nothing
in the way of a. yielding or com promising
spirit calculated to encourage either South
ern rebels or Northreu traitors.
