THE SITE44TIOIi.
• We give, in another column the-la
test news from Charleston. The singe
'is - progressing most actively and .
Yorably, and in 'due time the Old Flag
will wave over the het-bed of treason.
It maybe the work
\ weeks to`' ac
oomPlish it, but the fall bf Charleston
seems as certain as any, event in the
future: The country will mourn
the loss of the gallnt Commander
Rodgers. -He was killed while nobly
fighting his vessel,. the Monitor Cat

"the two hundred pOund Parrot guns'

city as doomed. _

We have nothing definite fromthe

been insisting that Lee is abbiti, to
make another aggressive movement
into MarYland and possibly :into
Pennsylvania andl-on the - other hand
the late Richmond papers insist that
iteade is about to !make a powerful
demonstration againat Lee. We doubt
whether offensive Operations will be
resumed- on either Ide for some weeks
to come. Both are looking florae af
ter. Charleston, and Lee has too many
leaks like East Tennessee, Mobile, &c.,
to justify the conclUsion that he is
largely _reinforced and means to move
Northward. Sucks step now on his
part would be the ',very last; act of
desperatieti, and he; could not fail to
come to final grief and the so-called
confederacy with him. • •
Roseerani, and Burnside are mow

The Spirit is out fcir Curtin. True,
it don't just exactly say , :that it wants
Aimse-eleeted, 'nor does'; it eultiyate
(hasteits and endearing in framing
its complimenti; but it's the Spirit's
islay, and we must take things as we
find them when mte can't make ;them
better. Persons who don't under !
litand that journal might call 14 vitu
perative in the higheit degret, and
.oelare it given:to faliifying with a
recklessness almo#t witbout a wall*
but things sometimes work by' con
traries, and the Spirit is one of -that
kind. Probably it was called into
being in the sign of the crab, and Can't
help hoofing and clawing, because its
Nature forbids a straight for Ward
movement either in theOry orpraCtice.
. In its last issue it thus, in its; own
peculiar way, compliMents Gov: Cur=
tin's administration: ~ •
"It was thus faithful? whenitd sharki and
harpies furnished 'shoddy' clothing which
fell to pieces on-the first wearing, shoes with
pasteboard' soles, damaged blankets unable
even to withstand the gentle zephyrs of sum
nier,-spoiled 'meat and mouldy crackers, to
the brave volunteers who first:Tushed to the
defense of the 'flag ; thus realizing millions
of . money out of , their contracts, enabling
'them to' roll in wealth and luxury.; to raise,
their palatial marble mansions fromtbeeaith
as if magic ; to flash their diamonds in' the
salobns of pleasu, re and dissipation ; to.clotho
their persons in the rare goods of Europe and
Asia; to live in untold splendor and magnifi
cence, on money plundered from the treasury
and withheld from lour brave volunteers,
while those volunteers were' _bleeding and
dying to preserve the integrity of our insti
tutions."
The touching pathos, burning pa
triotism, brilliancy of delineation, and
gems of historic beauty, whiCh flash
in dazzling splendor• in the foregoing
extract, point. clearly to the profound
political- strategy of the Spirit, by
which it means to re-elect Curtin by
professing not to' do it. Next to
praising a man, the best way to make
him friends and votes is to flOod the
community with. bewildering defama- :
tion and falsehood ; and As telling the
truth is not exactly in the Spirit's line,
it chooses thcway in which it is most
proficient to promote Gbv. Curtin's
election, and exhansts:itself in an ef
fort to see - how.many falsehoods May
be‘ crowded in a few..lines.
Distasteful as is the Spirit's strategy
in seeking the .re-election of Gov.
Curtin, we must henceforth regard it,
an anxilary in the Union cause and
the successnf our worthy ExecutiVe.
Nor is it an anomaly in its position
Somebody must burn their : fingers
when chesnuts are 'to be pulled out
of the fire, and scavengers are just as
necessary to a "community as gentle:
men; and as the Spirit has chosen its
duty, we can.only look to -the good
it may accomplish and leave it and
its infinitesmal conscience' to arrange
as to . the means it employs. "Of
course it knows' that Gov: Curtin
never furnished " spoiled meat and,
"mouldy crackers to the brave vol
"unteers," for the reason that they
were in the U. S. -service, and were
• L,
supplied by U. StatesOffieers ; but as
it wasn't trying or -meaning to tell
the truth, it had to assert that he did
starve and poition the soldiers for the
benefit of contractors, of whose busi
ness he had neither control or knowl
edge. Of course it knows ,that the
"shoddy,""damaged blankets," which
were defeated in a tilt with the "gen
tle zephyrs of • summer," and the
" stioes with pasteboard soles, so far
as sup - plied by the State„ were all fur-.
nished in contracts advertised and let
to the lowest bidder, and 'Controled
and managed entirely • by Quarter
Master General Hale, who never voted
anything else than a Democratic ticket
in his life, and who was Surveyor of.
the Port undei.'President Pierce. It
is also well advised that a committee
of the Legislature, headed by that
stubborn Democratic Reformer, Mr.
Rex, of Montgomhy, after hearing
all the testimony as to the furnishing
of supplies by the State made a unani
mous report, under oath, l not only
acquitting the Governor otall wrong,
but commending his; zeal, fidelity and
integrity in •the strongest terms.
Still, as-the Spirit means to defame
Gov. Cartin _into a re-election, it is
consistent with itself and its . purpose
s
,m Shutting its eyes to the 'light of
truth,' and in drawing bewitching pic
tures of Oriental splendor, and liar- .
rowing up the publin.,soul by por
traying monstrous ivrorigs on the
part of remorseless•ofticials.''
— , We don't exactly object to the
Spirkaiding in the re-election of Gov.
•Cartiit; but we beg to suggest that
it tell the truth occasionally—say
once amonth or so, just for the nov
elty of the thing, or 'for - the sake of
reference. If it does not,, it may
want to tell the truth some time,—
pot for the intrinsic merit of the ar
ticle, but as a' matter of ' interest or
policy, atid_the thingeris that nobody
will believe it. Iri last week's edito
rial page we have been unable to find
any material truth save in_ the date
of the paper, , ands that 'most, likely
would have been wrong, but for the
factthat there are ten almanacs in
the county to every cOpy,of the Spir
it that is- - circulated, and :the odds
were too hea7 for it. - Be 4Lodere,te

The Union County ConVention did
a good day's work, in presenting a
most meritorious and acceptable tick
et to the . people for their suffrages.
If it cannot be elected, then must the
"Green. Spot" be faithlese to herself,
to•lxer conceded loyalty,: and to our
eon~mon country.. Of the five Dailies
preisented for the leading: offices, four
ha'e been in actual service in the
field and honorably discharged at the
expiration' of their tertns,—two of
whom are hopeless crippfeas froth
wounds received, in battle, and the
other - is a gentleman of such infirm
health as to, disqualify, him, for the
ordinitry business of life.
Maj: K. Shannon Tailor, the can
didate for Prothonotary, was connec
ted with the military berore the war
broke out; and he responded to the
first call for troops made by the gov
ernment when Sumter was bombard
ed. He went out as a private in the
2d Penna. Volunteers,` and was after
wards promoted to a' Lieutenancy,
He is a true, earnest,'l4-al man, and
has uniformly and \ zealously acted
aa t ,ainst the so-called-Democracy. He
was warmly supported forProthono
tary three' years ago, 'and was sus
tained in the late Convention. with a
degree = of fidelity and positiveness
that gave him success. He will call
to thf support of the ticket a large
class ofour Young, active men, and
will contribute much to :the decisive
'victory in store for it in• October next.
Messrs. T. Jefferson Nill, candidate
for -Assembly ; Henry Strickler, can
didate for Register and Recorder;
James G. Elder, candidate for Treas
urer, and John .Doebler, candidate
for Director of the Poor, all- served
creditably in the 126th Regiment:
Elder was the Colonel;' commanding,
and fell severely wounded in the
thigh at FredericksbUrg, • and has
since been unable to wal without his
crutches Strickler was a Sergeant,
and fell at the same sanguinary strug
gle with his loft arm So shattered
by a musket ball as to require ampu
tation above the elboW. Nill was Ist
Lieutenant in the Waynesboro coin:-
pany, and waa commissioned Quarter
master—a position hellled with em
inent
credit to himself and accepta
bility to the'regiment. His superior
business qualities, great fidelity and
stern integrity, pointed him out by
general consent as the man for the
responsible position and he fully met
every reasonable eipectation; Doeb
ler was . Captain of Company A, 'from
this place, and fell at Fredericksburg,
while gallantly leading his men, with
his left arm terribly shattered by a
rifle ball; and he has not yet recov
ered the use of it. Of the fitness of
these men for the offices for which
they have been nominated ; there is
butane judgment: In point of char
acter and qualifications they come up
to the severest standard of honesty,
and competency; and their devotion
to their country's, 'cause, as evinced
by their herobith on the bloody field,
and by the honorable wounds they
won in-defence of our common Free
dom, will endear theth and their cause
'to every loyal heart The people ef,
Franklin county, Who have been the
victims of rebel barbarity and plun
dering,.will rall ; y 4 with an enthusiasm
that will be bounded by no party
lines,,to give these men a crowning
triumph at the polls.

candidate for Commissioner, and Am

Auditor, are well known to the peo

TELE HarrisburiPatrio - t and Union,
the central organ of Judge Woodward,
has steadily, recklessly and malicious

every act of lawlessness against it,
justified every perversion of the law,
and, as far as its limited power ex
tended, prepared the' ignorant and

shedding of blood.
It was deaf .to every call from the

laws, and poured out a fresh current
-of poison upon the sentiment of the
country.
But its efforts to defeat a draft has
been as impotent as they were trai
torous and malignant. True, it was
cheered with a short reign of murder,
robbery, arson and lawlessness gen
erally in New York, as the legitimate
fruits of
-the teachings it humbly ech-
Oes ; but still the draft goes on, and
its earnest efforts to defeat, for' Jeff.

THE people of Adams county have
