Carroll Tp., Sept. 3, 1863. JYby Tbey Oppose tlie War. The grand reason why the present War has resulted in the I033 of bo many ralu able lives, and been so unnecessarily pro longed, is to be found in the determination of the Copperhead leaders to keep up their party organization, hoping thereby to ob tain control of the National and State governments, and elevate themselves to places of trust and power, which they would not for a moment scruple to prosti tute to the basest purposes. We have watched the course of these men carefully and understand them thoroughly. Their greed for public plunder is so great that ' there is nothing they will not do or sacri fice to attain their object. They oppose evefy measure which the Government inaugurates for our welfare or success, imply because they are not taken into confidence which, they would abuse, in order to fatteu at the public crib. They prate and clamor about "the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was," but all this means that they would see the Union shivered to atoms, and the Consti tution trampled under the heel of despo tism, rather than that they should be eaved and perpetuated under the wise and benignant rule of the present Adminis tration. All who have viewed this subject in the fight of honest reason will readily appre ciate the force and truth of these remarks. Yhatever may have been the opinions of the people of the North, before the com mencement of this accursed Rebellion, it is not to bo denied that, so soon as our national emblem was torn frcia Fort Sumptcr, th-ey determined to stand by the Government. This they resolved to do without distinction of party, and had this honest and patriotic- insticctof the popu lar heart been left undisturbed, the War would, in all probability, have -been ended months ago. But the tendency of this would undoubtedly have beeu to create out of the hitherto discordant elements ' but one great party a national party a "party which, ignoring for the time all iaeues of minor importance, would devote itself to the suppert ot the Government, to Ihe suppression of a causeless and wicked Rebellion, and to the ' complete xe-establishment of the Federal authprity. Such a consummation was devoutly wished for by everj patriot in the land, but am bitious demagogues in our midst could not consent thus to have party lines oblitera ted. They preferred to postpone the happiuees atd prosperity of the country, and permit our fair fields to be delugrd with the blood of the slain, rather than to abandon fur a brief period their old vocation of office-seeking. The desire of their wicked hearts was public plunder, and to accomplish this they determiod upon . 1 allying what would otherwise Lave been vdefunct organization., ; . . .. Ja their wiM aad dsperats scramble for office they have not scrupled to employ the most outragedus atid diabolical misrepresentations and falsehoods in order to delude the people into their support They have openly arrayed themselves against every measure which the Admin istration has .adopted for the suppression of the Rebellion. They have endeavored to ruin our army by encouraging deser: tions and discouraging enlistments, and wherever they could they have goaded the more illiterate into resistance of the execution of the Draft. All this is at the expense of the Nation al cause, and is done, too, at the very time when the fate of our country depends upon harmony of action. The work of dissension and division of riots and bloodshed goes on. These bad men know full well that unity amongst ourselves would soon end the War in our favor, but they can not consent that this should be done under Mr. Lincoln's Administration. They resort, therefore, to every means in their pow.er to prolong the contest, believing as they do that, through distress and discouragements, the people will eventually becomo tired of it, and call them again into office and power. Riight visions of public plunder flit before the eyes of the Copperhead leaders, but the golden apple which they see will ere loog turn to ashes on their craven and polluted lips. The people of the North, we take it, are as a mass loyal, and devoted to the Government, and they will rot sufier political tricksters to gull them into drawing absurd and fatal distinctions between that Government and the men who honestly and faithfully administer it. They recognize the propriety of post poning party lines and party issues until this infernal Rebellion is crushed and its 'leaders punished, and cur flag floats in triumph over every inch of the National soil. So far aa the people of Pennsylva nia are concerned, they will bear us out in this assertion. Oc the second Tuesday of October next, they will give a verdict which cannot be mistaken. It will be for Curtin and the Union a triumph not only for the State but for the Nation. Confederate Bankruptcy. Mr. Robert Toombs, of Georgia, who left his 6eat in the United States Senate to accept the Secretaryship of State under Ilia Majesty, Jeff. Davis, is evidently disgusted with the bogus Confederacy. lie has recently written a remarkable letter to the Augusta Constitutionalist, in which he shows in its true light ths utter baukruptcy and failure of that detestable confederation of traitors, murderers, perju rers and thieves. He charges the men who "are running the machine," with wicked ness and corruption, and says the laws aro weak, the rulers oppressive, and a starving community are plundered and impoverish ed, lie re is the comparison he makes between the financial systems of the United States and of the rotten confedera cy : "Can I say more to expose the boundless folly of our present financial system? The history of the currency of our enemies, since the beginning of this war, is humiliating to us. Either had foreign credit3. Both had powerful and established State Governments to back them. We were united in favor of the war. They were divided. They have kept twice the number of men in the field that we have, upon half the money, and paid their soldiers better than we have. Their treasury notes sell at a discount of less than thirty per cent. ; ours at more than oue hun dred. The reason is solely that their Govern ment has better understood and more firmly adhered to the true principles of currency than ours. . In 'all else we had the advan tage." We affectionately commend these sentiments of Mr. Traitor Toombs to the perusal and consideration of our Copper head friends in this town and county, who hold the "worthless greenback" in such utter abhorrence. According to Toombs, our Treasury notes sell at a discount 0 less tlian thirty per cent., whilst those of the rebel concern are discounted more than a hun dred. A slight difference, truly ! Rut there is another small item to which we respectfully desire to call the attention of our Copperhead friends. Toombs ad mits that we have kept twice the number of men in the field that the Rebels have, vpon half the money, and paid our soldiers Letter than they have. Verily, "out of their own mouths thall ye condemn them." Here after, when the Copperheads are disposed to concoct and circulate lies about Federal mismanagement,, it would be well to remind them of the opinion of their distinguished fellow citizens and ardent co-laborer in the cauae of Rebeldom Robert Toombs. Read the letter of DaDiel O'Con nell, the Irish patriot, as published on our outside to-day. It is a most able document, of special interest at the present hour, when the evil fruits of the system of Siavery are o plainly discernible. Tti Lawrence Massacre. Our readers, the most of them, are no doubt familiar with the tale of horror of the sacking and burning of the city of Lawrence, Kansas, by that fiend incarnate, the Rebel guerilla Qcanthiix, and the inhuman massacre of ita inhabitants. A band of mounted Missouri guerilla, num bering three hundred, under Qu AN TRILL, made a rapid and unexpected raid into Kansas week before last, burning and pillaging everything in their way. They reached Lawrence after nightfall, taking the city entirely by surprise. After pil" laging the place, and shooting down the citizens, without regard to age or sex, the incendiary torch was applied, and Law rence fhe principal city in the State reduced to ashes. Many of the inhab itants are known to have perished in the Sanes. Two hundred-and-fifty dwelling houses and ufty business houses were destroyed, and (up to the latest accouuts) onehundred and eighty-one persons killed I The details of the cold-blooded murder are horrible and almost, beyond credence the heart sickens at the revolting atroci ties committed. Upon the departure of the murderers, a small force was immediately assembled by Gen. Jim Lake, who gave pursuit, to avenge the outrages committed by the death cf each and every one of the fiends. Several collisions have occurred between the opposing forces, resulting in the killing of about eighty of Quantrxll's band ; and now, the Rebel chief, fearing for his ultimate safety, has disbanded his gang, and taken to the bush. Over three hundred horses and nearly all his ill gotten plunder at Lawrence have been recaptured, and the indications are that oou not a man of the gang will b left to "tell the tale." The following extract from a private letter relative to the subject, will be found interesting : Leatinwoeth, Kassas, Aug u it 23, 18G3. Of course, you have sten by tele graph, and the papers I eent you, an account of the inhuman massacre at Lawrence. I have heard no extenuating circumstances, no features which redeem, it from an appearance of the most atrocious and cold-blooded mas sacre which ha3 ever disgraced the annals of any country or any age. In barbarity it exceeds the Utah Silver Lake Butchery the "conduct of the Rebels can only find a parallel in the savage atrocities of Nena Sahib during the Indian revolt in 1857. Incidents of the murder come in so fast, and are so multiplied by new arrivals from the scene, that it is impojsible to give particulars. Hereafter the facts and incidents will be collated and published in lasting form, as an evidence ot the degradation to which human ity may descend, and that mankind claiming to be civilized are even more barbarous and fiendish than the savages of the Southwest. Men were ruthlessly and remorselessly shot in their own doorways, in the presence of their wives and children. They were pursued like beasts in the street, and deliberately mur dered, and their bodies left where they fell, to be either consumed in the fire, or charred by the heat beyond recognition. A wail goes up fram Lawrence to-day, which will reach Heaven's high throne, and call down celestial vengeance upon the accursed de stroyers of innocence, and that wail will reverberate in the ears of a loyal people, knitting them more firmly in the deep resolve, that never, while a traitor lives, will they lay down the sword, or cease to pursue, attack ard destroy. Kansas can protect herself. She can administer like for like, and uuless the military arm of the Government is suc cessfully interposed to protect her, she will again, in the strength of her brave and free people, sound the tocsin of war, and make in Missouri a track of fire and blood which shall be visible to the world and staud for ages in the record as a specimen of Kansas ven geance. The inhuman and atrocious aggregate be wilders and stupefies. the senses, and we can only wonder whither we are tending and try to remember when men, formed in tb'e image of Cod. have been guilty of such' infamous violations of the laws and usages of war. Important Decisions. It has been decided by the Second Comptroller that when a pensioner re-anliataf he forfeits pay in that capacity, and cannot be again put upon the'pension rolls except upon surgical re-examination and certificate of his disa bility. It has also been decided that a woman who abandoned her husband previous to his enlistment, and married another, is not entitled to the bounty belonging to the first husband if he died in the service. Judge Cadwalader, of Philadelphia, has decided that minors, under eighteen, cannot be held at all in military service, even with the consent of parents that there i not anything in the acts of Congress to legalize the. enlistment of minors under eighteen years. t&Jefi Davis oh, wonder of won ders ! has turned out a fierce, uncom promising Abolitionist. At last it is reported he has called out 500,000 colored troops, to eerve during the warto whom he promises freedom and fifty acres of land in caso of ready compliance to his demands. The Rebel Gen. Pemberton died last week at Selma, Ala. The Senate of Alabama .but a few days since passed res olutions of want of confidence in Pember ton and Holmes both are dead. Holmes had been dead a fortnight beforo tho sanient Senators lost confidence in him. tQm Governor Pierpont has fixed the seat of Government of Virginia at Alex andria. Grand Union Mass Meeting at Jobnstovvn --Speeches by Gov. Curtin aad Slnj.-Gen. Rousseau. A grand rally of the People was held at Johnstown, this county, on Wednesday of last week, to "hear Andt Curtin speak," whereat thousands were in attendance. The meeting was called to order, at 7 o'clock, P. M., in the Union Hall, but that building proving totally insufficient iu point of size to accommodate the vast numbers present, tho crowd adjourned to the Public Square. Here Governor Cur tin took the 6tand, and proceeded for half an hour to address the throng. We subjoin an epitome of his remarks, as also of Gen. Rousseau's speech, &3 published in the Cambria Tribune : "Disclaiming all personal ambition in desiring to be re-elected Governor of Pennsylvania, (the administration of the duties of that office for three years in such toils as have surrounded him being suffi cient to satisfy the ambition which led him to seek his first nomination), but he desired to be re-elected because he believ ed in him were represented, as the stand ard bearer of the loyal Union men of Pennsylvania, ths principles by which the country must be restored, maintained and perpetuated. He also disclaimed personali ties and defamation, for himself and his f riend?,and spoke of his opponent in respect ful terms as the representative of daorous doctrine and policy. He paid a glowing tribute to the bravery and dovotion of Pennsylvania's two hundred and thirty thousand volunteers who have born arms iu the defence of the nation, and to the loyalty, patriotism and liberality of the masses of her people, concerning which and of whom he knew much. He closed with a fitting reference to the devotion and sacrifices of the women of Pennsylva nia, and with thanks to the multitude for their kind attention he bid them farewell. ".We have been accustomed to hear Gov. Curtin speak in public- iu every im portant campaign Bince our boyhood, and while we have always regarded him as an able and entertaining stump speaker, we are free to say that his brief address of Wednesday evening pleased us as well as any we ever heard him make. It was eloquent, patriotic, and dignified, contain ing not a word of the party slang and personal defamation of opponents so often indulged in by political speakers not one word at which offence could be taken by the other side. "After he had taken his seat, the Band, which was in attendance in force, struck up the Star Spangled Banner. After the music concluded, the Governor again appeared upon the utand, and said he would now introduce to the audience a man who had been lojal where loyalty cost something who had stood by his Govern ment almost with a rope around his neck who had taken his life in hand and tendered it in defence of his country he would introduce the gallant soldier, Maj. Gen. Rousseau, of Kentucky. "The General came forward, and was received with enthusiastic cheers, which he properly acknowledged. He said he did not come to discuss politics he knew no politics. He didn't know who or what the hundreds of men in front of him were whether they were Democrats, Whigs, Republicans, or Abolkionistp and ho didn't care j tho man who stood by the Government, and was in favor of crushing the rebellion by force of arms, was his friend and brother he who was in favor of yielding to the terms of Jeff. Davis and his faction was his enemy, and he wanted nothing to do with him except to fiqht him. President Lincoln was tho visible head of the Government, and was entitled to the respect and support of every true and loyal man ; for although he may have made some mistakes, (which the speaker was willing to excuse because of the in tention and end in view,) he believed bin as pure and honest a man as breathes the free air of heaven, and thoroughly in earnest and sincere in his efforts to crush the gigantic rebellion by which he had been surrounded. He spoke of illegal arrests. There may have been some ; but there had not been arrests enough made, and he believed nine cut of ten of those arrested and confined ought to have been hanged. He spoke of slavery. He was not an Abolitionist never had sympa thized in the remotest degree with the radical anti-slavery men of the free States but if slavery stood in the way of the restoration of the Union, wipe it out. And slavery did stand in the way it supported the rebellion and he favored the freeing of every bondman of every secessionist in arms in tho South. Don't be afraid of hurting anybody root it out we will never hive permanent peace until it is abolished. The loyalty of wex in the North who have tender consciences about the rights of the South on this sub ject may well be questioned. Those who don't like the way in which tho war is conducted had better go to Mexico, or some other happy country. He'deneunced the policy of the Peace or "Copperhead" faction of the old democratic party, and exhorted the true and loyal men of all parties in Pennsylvania to stand by their tried and proved efficient loyal Governor, and not exchange him for a Copperhead. He pronounced the 79th Penna. Vols, the best drilled, best disciplined, and. bra rest regiment in his division j and denounced the man or party who would oppose the measures calculated to recruit its shattered ranks or who would withold from the brave men their pay. and supplies. The man who did that, or Interposed himself between cur armies and the suppression of the rebellion in any other way, was a traitor and deserved the penalty accorded to treason the sword or a halter' We understand that arrangements have been, or are about to be, made to have Governor Curtix deliver an address here, in Ebensburg, during the present canvass. Thi is right. His speech in Johnstown did good servi, for ihe Union cause thereabout ; another one here would most undoubtedly go far toward turning the Bcale in our favor when we come to engage in the great work, next October, of regenerating little Cambria from the thraldom of Copperheadism. Give us a call, Governor ! The spirit says come ! the bride nays cornel the exigencies of the hour say come I everybody says come ! excepting a few Copperheads, per haps who are constitutionally apposed to the promulgation of light and reason. Come I and then if we fail to defeat the enemy at the ensuing election, it will be simply by reason that all the "Abolition ists" have gone to war. Why Doh't he Resign ? We are frequently asked why Woodward, the Rebel candidate fcr Governor, does not resi-rn the place he holds cn the bench ot the Supreme Court. We presume there are two reasons for thi. In the first place, a Locofoco was never known to let go the public teat so long as he could hold on to it, or so long as it would yield anything in the shape of money or its equal ; and in the second place, Copper head a Woodward is, we have no idea that he is foolish enough to suppose he has any chance for being elected Govern or.
