We Are Coming, Father Abra
ham !
The enthusiasm in localities throughout
Pennsylvania, says the Ilarrisburg Ttle
grujJi, is once more of that character
which inspires all who behold it with
confidence in the loyalty and martial spir
it of the people. Every county or town
that sends away its one or more companies
regard their own brave men as the very
models of military ardor and devotion.
They leave home accompanied by the
ble:sings and the prayers' of their friends,
and turning their backs on the scenes of
their youth and manhood, these brave
men almost become soldiers the moment
they are mustered into service. The gen
erous emotion is thus calmed the mauly
tear at leaving helpless loved ones is dried
and the spirit of the patriot takes hold of
the form of the man, to mould and disci
pline him almost at once into the steady
and und.-iunted soldier. These are the
eharucferistics that we notice amonir the
men who arc hourly pouring into Camp
Curtin. They are coming from all quar
ters fresh from the newly gathered har
vests out of the workshops from the
counting-rooms away from luxurious ease
and pleasure they aie pouring into the
State Capital like the resistless torrents of
the mountain, "leaping and singing" as
they rush on. The demonstration is grand
in the extreme. The men whofbrni these
mighty hosts are superior in every respect.
They have less of adventure about them
than the first quota of brave, dashing boys
who are now in the field, but in lieu of
this there is more of steady purpose and
stern resolution manifested in their march
and their demeanor. The first soldiers
who rallied to the call of the government
weut to menace and arrest rebellion
these go to meet and crush it out.
Spectacles like that which is presented
in these uprisings of the people will not
soon agaiu bo afforded for the contempla
tion of the governments of Europe, and
well is it for the potentates of the universe
that the vision of their subjects is obscu
red by the rigor of their rule, or the
example ot a people thus rising and mar
ching to the preservation of their liberties
and nationality might have an evil iuflu-
euce on the stability and power of every
j throne in the world. Under any circum- j
1 ktacccs, the great rebellion will result ia'
EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 14 1862,
checking despotism and humbling aris
tocracy. That it wa3 encouraged in this
instance by the aristocracies of the old
world, there is no longer any doubt. That
it was and is fostered by the principal
governments of Europe, we have abundant
reason to believe, and therefore let the
example of its crushing out go to swell
the testimony of mac's ability for self
government, and stimulate the down-trodden
mass of Europe to an effort in their
own behalf, to become, as we are, great,,
powerful and free !
Iu this spiri, and in the words of the
new song, the people can enthusiastically
exclaim :
'Wc are coming, Father Abraham,
Six hundred thousand more !''
Important Official War Orders.
Washington, August 8, 18G2. The
following order has just been issued by
j the War Department :
An order to prevent the evasion of mil
itary duty and for the suppression of dis
loyal practices.
First : By direction of the President of
the United States, it is hereby ordered
that, until further orders, no citizen liable
tVbe drafted into the militia shall be al
.owd to, a, foreign country; and aH
marshals, deputy marshals, and military
officers of the United States are directed,
and all police authorities, especially at
the ports of the United States on the sea
board and on the frontier, are requested
to see that this order is faithfully carried
into effect ; and they are hereby author
ized and directed to arrest and detain any
person or persons about to depart from the
United States in violation of this order,
and report to Major L. C. Turner, Judge
Advocate, at Washington City, for fur

persons so arrested and detained.

nearest military post or depot and placed
ou military duty for the term of . the draft;
and the expenses of his own arrest and
conveyance to such post or depot, and also
the sum of 5 as a reward to the officer
who shall make such arrest shall be de
ducted from his pay. , -
Third : The writ of Jiabcas coi-pus is
hereby suspended iu re?pect to all persons

Edwin M. Stanton,
Secretary of War.
The following order, authorizing the
arrest of persons discouraging enlistments,
has been issued :
Ordered First : That all United States
Marshals ahd Superintendents, or Chiefs
of Police, of any town, city, or district be,
and they are hereby, authorized and di
rected to arreet and imprison any peison

teer enlistments, or in any way giving aid
ana comiort to tnc enemy, or in- any
other disloyal practice against the united
States.
Second : That an immediate report be
made to JIajor L. O. Turner, Judge-Advocate,
iu order that such persons may be
tried before a military commission.
Third : The expenses of such arrest
and imprisonment will be certified to the
Chief Clerk of the War Department for
settlement and payment. (
E. M. Stanton, Scc'y. of r
'
Recruits for Old Regiments.
The new law authorizing the President
to call out the militia contains the follow
ing section :
"Sec. 4. And he it further enacted. That
for the purpose of filling up the regiments
of infantry now in the- United States ser
vice, the President be and he hereby is
authorized to accept the services of vol
unteers in such numbers as presented for
twelve months if not sooner discharged.
And such volunteers, when mustered into
the service, shall be in all reupects upon
a footing with similar troops in the United
States service except as service bounty,
which shall be fifty dollars, one half of j
wnica to oc paia upon rneir joiniuir tneir
regiments,vand the other half at the expi
ration of their enlistment."
Gen. Robert M'Cook, while indis
posed and riding in an ambulance, was
fired upon and killed by a party of gueril
las near New Market, Ala., one day last
week. He was shot in the side, and lived
only till the next dav.
Extraordinary Developments in
Indiana.
The report of the Grand Jury of the
District Court of the UnitctTStates, in the
state of Indiana, for the May term, makes
the most fearful and startling disclosures,
going to prove the troacherous conduct of
the Knights of the Golden Circle. We
have not the room to spare to print this
document entire," but we trust that it will
suffice the reader to know that develop
ments are made by that report implicating
the Knights of the Golden Circle in a
manner -at once to leave no doubt of their
identity with rebeiliou. We extract a
portion of this report to show the reader
the extent and the danger of the opera
tions of this order :
"The Knights of the Golden Circle
have siguals by which they can coaimuni
cate with each other in the day or the
night time, and above all, they had a sig
nal or sign which may be recognized at a
great distance from the person giving it.
This last signal, we regret to say, was in
vented for the use of such members cs
should, by means of draft or otherwise, be
compelled to serve in the ranks of the
army. In such cae, members of the
order serving in
opposing armies, receiv
are reminded of their
inj
the
sijrn,
obligation not to injure the member giv
ing it. " This signal is given in every
instance upon the initiation of a new
member, and its observance is strictly en
joined upon every individual belonging to
the order. By the teachings of the or
ganization, it is the duty of its members
engaged in the present war, although
arrayed on opposite sides, upon the signal
being given, if they shoot at all, "to
shoot over each other." Many members
of the order examined before us admit
the bindug force of the obligation and
pretend to justify it as correct in princi
ple." What freeman will not staTt with hor
ror at such a disclosure, and what man
will wonder any longer at some of the
extraordinary reverses which have over
taken our armies, when it is confidentially
known that there are those in high com
mands aud low positions, now in the fed
eral armies, strongly suspected of being
attached to this order. Here re another
extract, preguant with meaning and
danger :
"Xot only are the loyal soldiers in the
army to be treacherously betrajed in the
bloody hour of battle, by the signa'.s
before referred to, but said GrandJury
have abundant evidence of the member
ship binding themselves to resist the pay
ment of the Federal tax and prevent
enlistments in the armies of the United
States."
The idea of resisting the payment of
taxes has been put forth in this city, by
more than one man suspected of belonging
to this order of traitors, and the fact of
interfering with enlistments. is too fresh
in the minds of the public to'need any
present reference at our hands.
. When such developments are made it
is time that loyal men were on the alert,
and that the smallest evidence of disloyal
ty be at once seized and crushed out.
Our ciremies are untiring, unscrupulous.
Let us be vigilant aud unwearied, and by
every honorable and manly means, seek

BU The Petersburgb (Ya.) Express
contains a dispatch from Gen. Yau Dorn
to Secretary Mallory that the rebel ram
Arkausas left Yicksburg ou 3Ionday, the
4th inst., to co-operate in tho attack on
Baton Kouge, and on the way down her
machinery became disabled, and while in
her helpless condition several of the fed
eral gunboats attacked her. After a de
termined resistance, she was abandoned
and blowu up. Her officers and men
reached the shore in safety.
- -Capt. J. D. O'ConncIl, of the 14th
regular infantry, formerly of this place,
was home on a brief furlough last week.
He participated iu all of the terrible Sev
en Days struggles before Richmond, es
caping unscathed. He is every inch a
geutlcman. and bears the reputation of a
brave, high toned officer. Success attend
him!
-We learn that many CamKria coun
ty men have enlisted and are enlisting in
companies being formed iu other counties.
This should be stopped let the "Frosty
Sons of Thunder" go forth under their
own organizations, so that Cambria county
may receive the credit justly due her.

Great Ilattle Near Culpepper
Court-House I
Gen. Pope and Stonewall Jackson have
met at last, aud a fierce battle has been
fought, apparently without any decided
advantage on either side, save that our
advance held its ground, which, consider
ing the position, is equivalent to a victory.
Ou Friday, Gen. M'DoweH's cavalry hd
the extreme advance, near the Rapidan
River, and were engaged in skirmishes
all day, taking some piisoners, and ending
with slight loss. On Saturday morniug,
while a lar;e Rebel force was endeavoring
to surround and cut him off, Gen. Banks
came up with four regiments of cavalry
and. delayed the Rebel advance. In the
afternoon he attacked their advance force
of 15,000, tfhder Jackson and Ewell, at a
place about six miles south of Culpepper
Court-House. At first the contest was
almost entirely by artillery but at G o'clock
the infantry became engaged, and a de
termined fight began. The Rebels were
in the woods our men in open fields.
Gen. Bank's right, under Gen. Williams,
suffered severely. At this time the Reb
els attacked in full force. At 1 o'clock

Pope and Banks were greatly exposed at
one time, and a sudden chanre of Rebel
cavalry was made to take them, but failed
The fire of the Rebel batteries was after
ward silenced. The troops were under
arms and in position all night. Gen.
Banks is highly praised, both for personal
gallantry and the management of his
troops. He was rather severely hurt
by a trooper who rode against him, but
kept the field, and was on duty next mor
ning. Total loss estimated at 2,000 to
3,000 killed, . wounded and missing on
each side. Jackson and Ewell vere both

the battle. There was a little skir-
mishing on Monday morning.
Important Arrest.
Brig. Gen. Wadsworth, Provost Mar
shall of the District of Columbia, accom
panied by a Lieutenant and two privates,
arrived at Ilarrisburg at three o'clock on
Thursday morning, by the train from
Baltimore, and, acting under tho orders
of the Secretary of War, immediately
proceeded to arrest Messrs. O. Barrett
and Thomas C. M'Dowell, publishers of,
aud Messrs. Montgomery Forster and
Uriah J. Jones, chief and local editors of
the Patriot and Union, charged with ma
king certain publications of a treasonable
and inflammatory character. The parties
were arrested at their respective residen
ces, but at the special request of Captain
Dodge, they were permitted to remain at
home with the understanding that they
should report themselves at the Mayor's
office at six o'clock next morning. At the
hour indicated the party were on hand,
when they were conducted to the depot
aud left in tho 7.30 train for Washington.
The affair although not altogether unex
pected created quite a sensation. The
following is the treasonable publication :
"Attention ! Colohed Men. The
Croat Gen. James Lane has arrived
in
this city to-day, and will address the col
ored citizens ot Ilarrisburg in front of the
Market House at four o'clock this (Mon

in the leg at the battle of GaincsMIill, ta

quently released, is now at home, in this
county, ou furlough. 11c visited this
placa ou Saturday, and was warmly wel
comed by his many friends and acquain
tances. His account of the participation
of our "boys" in tho tighti is thrilling in
the extreme. He says they did their
whole duty, every man achieving undoing
honors. His wo-und . is healing rapidly,
and he expects to be able to return to the

Off to tlic Wars.' The new Ebensburg
company, which has been in cuursc of
formation during the past week, perfected
its organization on Tuesday, and departed?

about 110 men. The commissioned, offi
cers are as follows : . .
Captain, Dr. JOHN M. JOXES.

Second Lieutcnan, F. JI. FLANAGAN.
The company comprises the very pick anil
flower of our town and surroundings men
of strong hearts and steady hands men
of intelligence who go forth, not for
mere love ot adventure, but in pcrfoim
ance of a high and holy duty.
Ma God iu II i infinite mercy watch
over and protect them, and return them
safely to their homes and friends !
The company will be mustered in for
nine mouths to form part of Cambria's
quota under the last requisition.

will probably be raised in Clearfield and
other North-Easteru townships. These
will make five companies from Cambria
under the two last calls !
This, from a county which had already
nearly depopulated herself in behalf of the
Union fully 1,500 men having gone be

Blair and Cambria. Here is what
the Pittsburg Dispatch says in reference
to the noble efforts of Blair and Cambria
toward responding to the last two calls of
the Government for men : "These small
counties, in the iron-producing region oS
the State, should not, in equity, have beer
asked to contribute another soldier to this
war until other counties had responded?
with their quota. The Governor called
upon each county for two companies, and
each is about to respond by sending four
companies, notwithstanding Blair has
1,200 and Cambria 1,400 nren already iu
the field."
