Mr. Pershing did give this opinion, when
ho and I both supposed the bill had been
or would bo signed by the Governor. He
gave it to me privately; he gave it in the
presence of other Counsel j, and he express
ed the snme opinions to other gentlemen
of our town. The following Cards amply
prove this read them !
To A. Kopelia, Esq., F. "W. Hay, Dr. John
Lowmau, and ethers.
Gentlkmks : Mr. C. L. Pershing's denial of
the truth of the statement made by myself
through the Camlrid Tribune, of the 2d inst.,
as to his frequently expressed ,0'lriiotis upon
he Legislation of last wirr relating to the
payment of waes for labor, compels me to
call on you to state what your recollections
arc in regard to his views on this subject, as
freelr expressed in yoar presence.
Yours truly, t. J- Moreell.
JonSSTOWX, t-FCt. ID XtsbJ.
D. J. StoRREr.r., Esq.
Dear Sir: In your note of the 6th, to myself
and others, you ask my recollection of Mr.
Pershing's views if any he Lad expressed to
me, or in my hearing, touching the constitu
tionality of the so-called Scrip Hill, lu reply,
I have to say that upon Mr. Pershing's return
home, after the adjournment of the Legisla
ture, I met him in his office on some one or
two occasions, and exchanged views with him
ti the subject in question. Both being Coun
sel for yonr Company, and the question of the
constitutionality of the Act being submitted
to me by you, 1 went to Mr. Pershing's office
to see the Bill and confer, with him. I found
Mr. P. in his office, but he said he had not a
' copy of the Act he had not, indeed, even read
it, as passed by the Legislature, nor was he
. in his place at the time ot its passage but
that he had grave doubts as to the constitu
tional right of the Legislature to pass that or
any such act. At a subsequent interview with
him, at his office, and on the same subject, he
reiterated the views above stated, and added,
that it seemed to him that a man had the
right to take just such pay in kind, for his
labor as he chose, and in his opinion the
Legislature had no right or power to interfere.
Before'this time, I had examined the bill at
the time concurred vrilh Mr. Pershing in
"opinion, and subsequently instructed you that
unless you saw fit, there was no necessity of
changing your mode of daing business, as the
Act or Bill was, in our opinion, unconstitu
tional, and must be so decided by the Court3.
This i., briefly though substantially, what I
now remember of the views of Mr. Pershing,
on the subject in question.
Respectfully jours, A. Kopelin.
In speaking of the Legislation of last win
ter on the subject of the payment of workmen
and of ita applicability to the business of our
town, Mr. Pershing expressed to us the opin
ion, not perhaps in direct words, but in such
a manner as to be unmistakable, that it was
unconstitutional. He further said that any Ml
the Legislature might pass, that would inter
fere with rights of contract, could not be
enforced, but would be unconstitutional.
F-'W. 1Ia.y, Jous Lowmax,'
nfviiN Ut.Ti.iDeK, E. Skaffeb,
JohsDibert, C. T. Frazeb,
V M. UAEDNER. '
Mr. Pershing does not squarely deny
this. He makes a dodge, and deuics
something else. Yet he has the hardihood
to denounce me for perverting professional
advice, for the purpose of "gratifying the
merest political hatred."
I think I have showu that 1 have stated
the professional adeice truly, and that he
has perverted it, for what purpose I leave
iYtn rmhlif to orPSR IT:i1 T nr'i'pd 3 Mr.
Morreli states," says Mr. Pershing, "I
- fihould abhor mvself in dust and ashes."
T'-Whcn he wrote this, he must have been
thinking of, and fearing, th fate of the
original Copperhead, whoso duplicity as
counsel was punished by the sentence, "on
thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt
thou eat all the days of thy life."
Mr. Pershing pays :
"I certainly agreed with the Governor
in the principle laid down in hi3 message."
How gratifying to the Governor ! "How
we apples swim !" "Some difficulties
suggested themselves to my mind," says
he, "as to the framing of a proper bill, and
I went to the Governor' room to consult
with him upon yie subject, but found he
was absent from llarrisburg."
Then even in Mr. Pershing's mind the
subject was .not Irec from difficulties. I
wonder if they were not con'stitutfoual
difficulties ? Had Mr. Pershuvj met the
Governor. Scrij) vcoutd. have leen instantly
9 squashed.
Mr. Pershing talks largely about my
"traveling about the town soliciting certif
icates as a mendicant does coppers." I
would say, more like a prosecuting officer
gathering evidence against an adroit crim
inal. A man who telta a wilful falsehood,
which cannot be bolstered up by evidence,
niav well blustet about the ignominy of
producing witnesses. The certificates he
depreciates in advance, speak for them
selves. . -
Mr. Pershing's rigmarole about Senator
Keilly, 3udgc Keilly, or Constable Ileilly,
in his effort to involve the Governor iu a
"predicament," and thereby himself evade
pursuit, reminds ore of an artful dodger
among the fishes, which, when pursued,
emits a cloud, and so escapes by darkening
and discoloring the water. Mr. Pershing's
tactics arc of the same character. With
out in any way affecting the Governor, he
shows to what shitts he himself is driven.
If this card is less courteous thai my
first, it is Mr. Pershing's own fault. I
proposed to meet him with the gloves on,
but he tikes them off, and f am not to
blame if ho hurts his knuckles, or feels
mine.
One word more upon a new issue raised
by Mr. Pershing. In the same paper
which contains his card, and whish 1 am
fully justified in calling the organ of Mr.
Pershing, and Jeff. laris, there is the
aiost grossly false and abusive editorial I
ever read in any print. From, it I extract
the following paragraph. -
"If the Cambria Iron Company, which
employs Morreli, and allows him to stop
the works and turn into such a demonstra
tion of outlaws and thieves, all the live
gtook of the concern, does not at once
TOtuove him, it will be tound necessary for
tho law and order loving inhabitants, who
have any regard for their live and prop
erty, and for the credit of the town, to
Sive him notice to leave:" "We
call for his removal at once.".
This issue was not rai?cd by me. It is
made by Mr Pershing, and his co-laborers'
of the Democrat. I am .the Defendant,
and since it has been forced upon me, I
am willing to try it without the invaluable
professional assistance of Mr. Pershing,
and time will show who wins the case.
Mr. Pershing and his partisans have forced
this question upon me, and they cannot
complain if they or their friends should'be
the sufferers by it. I owe you au apology,
Mr, Kditor, and also owe n apology to
3-our readers, for taking, eo'much space iu
the Tribune. Without desiring it, I have
been led into a long discussion, which
cannot be of general interest, and I sincere
ly hope I shall not have occasion to tres
pass further upon your kindness, or the
time and atteution of the public.

Terms of Peace.
Peace is indirectly proposed by the
rebel leader? in an editorial article in the
Richmond Enquirer of the lGth, which
state3 tke terms upon which peace maybe
made. These, are, in short, the dissolu
tion of the Union, the recognition of a
Southerfl Confederacy, including Kens
tuck', Missouri, and jill the Southern
States, and all the territory west of the
Mississippi, and to the south of Iowa. A
glanco at the map will show what an
immense territory is to be given up to
slavery. It will also show other interest
ing facts, which have important bearing
on the subject. The least interesting fact
is not the sublime audacity of this de
mand, and the weakness of the power
which makes it.
The rebels claim Missouri. This is
amusiug. Why should they not ask for
Massachusetts ? Missouri is not only
loyal, has not only ceased to be the theatre
of war, i not only far beyond the grasp of
any rebel army, but has actually passed
laws emancipating her slaves, and thus, in
the plainest way, shown her hatred of the
rebellion, and her attachment to the Gov
ernment. They might as well claim
Pennsylvania as Missouri, perhaps with
more justice, for we remember tbat Mr.
Win. 15. Reed, Mr. Frank Hughes, and
other eminent PenDsylvanians, advised
that in case of a dissolution, cf the Union
Pennsylvania should go with the South.
Iudeed, they claim Kentucky - with her
loyal Governor, aud her loyal majorities,
a State freed from their tyraunies, and
irrevocably pledged to the Union and the
civilization of the North. Tennessee they
claim,-and are doubtless indignant that
the Army of the Cumberland drove Rragg
fioin this. State, to the people of which
his presence was hateful, ana now stands
sentinel over their liberties and hopes.
Tho "Mississippi river, too, they want,
forgetting that they could not keep it
when they had it, and that its possession
by the Uuiou is so important to the
Northwest that the Government, out of
.respect to its faithful supporters in Iowa,
Indiana, and adjacent States, cannot really
consent to give it up. The territory west
of it to the Pacific ocean, they also claim,
upon what pretext we cannot imagine.
Even admitting the right of 3ecession,
that is simply the right of a State to
withdraw from tho TJuIod,. but not to
take the property of the Union with it.
South Carolina never had any jurisdiction
over the Indian territory in tho Union,
and could have none out of it.
The Rebellion is now confined to South
ern Virginia, South Carolina North Caroli
na, Georgia, and Alabama, and has a feeble
hold in Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi .
Imprisoned in thpse narrow limits it actu
ally has the audacity to demand of the
United States territory forty or fifty times
as extensive. Upon the same principle, a
criminal confined in the Eastern Peniten
tiary might declare that he would never
make peace with the authorities till they
should surrender to him the liberty of
Fairmount Park, and pay his expenses at
the Continental Hotel. The Southern
Confederacy is very largo on paper. , Rut
the armies of the United States everywhere
threaten its existence, ai.d one of them at
Chattanooga stauds firmly in tho very
heart of the Souh. In nine tenths of the
territory it claims it never existed, and of
the tenth remaining, it now thanks to
the war controls a fractiou. The map
will prove the modesty of our ptatement.
-But the audacity of the claim is not
exhausted yet. The rebels claim Virginia
South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia. These
States do not belong to them. The rebel
ion occupies them without the slightest
right. They are legally and naturally, by
the agreement of the people, by the con
(Jof generations, by the terms of the
constitutional compact, by geographical
necessity, parts of the great American
Union, and as such must ever remain.
Charleston is to-day as- rightfully a city
in the United States as is New York.-r
The Government does not submit to have
its authority defied by riot in the one, by
rebellion in the other, and is bound to put
dowd unlawful opposition in both. The
same means that rescued Nashville from
the rebellion are used to rescue Richmond,
those that Eaved Kentucky will save
Georgia. The war is succcessful, and the
very claims of tho rebel leaders prove it.
They remind us not only of what is yet to
be done by our armies, but what they have
already accomplished. We have driven
the rebel power from two thirds of the
territory it originally grasped.
The great enemy of mankind said to the
divine friend of humanity, when from the
mountain of vision they beheld the world
one longed to ruin, the other died to save,
"All this will I give unto you if you will
worship me." Rut theologians have in
dignantly commented on the fact that of
the world he offered, the fiend owned not
a solitary inch. The rebel leaders like
wise own not one foot of the territory they
claim. They would gladly make peace
upon jthe basis of robbery, and their offer
is that of a thief who impertinently says
to the police officer, "I am ready to
permit you to depart unharmed if you will
let mo go with 1113' stolen goods." "The
North must yield all or nothing" these arc
the terms of peace stated by the enemy.
Our answer is a call for three hundred
thousand volunteers.
300,000 Volunteers called Tor.
The following is the President's proc
lamation calling for 300,000 volunteers,
to take the place of those soldiers whose
term of service will expire the coming
ppriug and summer :
Wiiekeas, The term of service of part
of the volunteer fo?s of the United States
will expire during tho coming year, aod
whereas, in addition to the men raised by
the preseut draft, it is deemed expedient
to call out 300,000 volunteers to serve
three years or iho war, not, however,
exceeding three years, now, therefore, I,
Abraham Lincoln, President of the United
States, and Commander-in-Chief of the
army and navy thereof, and of the militia
of the several States, when called into
actual service, do issue this my proclama
tion, calling upon the Governors of the
different States to raise and have enlisted
in the'service, for the companies and reg
iments in the field, from their respective
States, their quota of 300.000 men.
I fuf ther proclaim that all U13 volunteer?
thus called out and duly enlisted thall
receive the advance pa', premium and
bounty as heretofore communicated to the
Governors of the States by the War De
partment, through the Provost Marshal
General's Office, by special letters.
I further proclaim that all volunteers
raised uuder this call, as well as all others
not heretofore credited, shall be duly cred
ited and deducted from the quotas estab
lished for the next draft.
I further proclaim that if any State
shall fail to raise the quota assigned to it
by the War Department under this. call,
then a draft for the deficiency of said
quota shall be made in said State, or iu the
districts of satil State, for their due pro
portion of said quota, and the said draft
shall commence on the fifth day of Janua
ry, 18GL-
I further proclaim that nothing in this
proclamation shall interfere with existing
orders or those which may be issued for
the preseut draft in the States where it
is now in progress, or where it has not
yet commenced. Tim quotas of tho
States and districts- will be assigned by
the War Department through the Pro
vost Marshal General's office, due regard
being had for the men heretofore furnish
ed by volunteering or drafting, and the
recruiting will be conducted in accordance
with such instructions as have been or
may be issued by that Department.
In issuing this proclamation I address
myself not only to the Governors of the
several States, but also to the good and
loyal people thereof, invoking them to lend
their cheerful, willing and effective aid to
the measures thus adopted, with a view
to reinforce our victorious armies now in
the field, and bring our military operations
to a prosperous end, thus closing forever
the fountains of sedition and cruel war.
In witness whereof I have herein set my
hand and caused the seal of the United
States to-be affixed. Done at the city of
Washington this 17th day of October, A.
1). 1863, and of the Independence ' of tho
United States the 88th.
Br the President: ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

We givalc'.ow a carefully revised and
complete tabular statement of the official
vote for Governor and Supreme Judge, as
cast in Pennsylvania, October 13, 1863.
It will bo seen by this vote, that the
majority of Gov. Curtin is 15,325 and of
Judge Agnew 12,308, and that Governor
Curtin leads the Union candidate for the
Supreme Judgeship 5,017 votes. These
results are highly gratifying. The major
ities are largo enough to give the most
sublime prestige to our cause, and to
admonish us in the future as to the results
of a thorough, active and vigilant organization.

"Scrip."
To the exclusion of our usual variety,
we this week lay before our readers the
coniinuationof the correspondence between
Messrs. Morrkll and Persuing, on the
"Scrip" question. We published the
initial letter of the lot just prior to the
election, and now print these that our
readers may be enabled to see both sides
of the question, and follow up the contro
versy to its completion. Mr. Persuing
is, and has been for several terms past, our
representative to the State Legislature,
and it is nCliing but just and proper that
his public acts be open to discussion to
any of his constituents who may sec fit to
enter upon that task. And should Mr.
Morreli. succeed in proving the gentle
man guilty of attempting to ride two
horses at one and the same time, they
going in different directions, of course
that will be just and proper, also. The
discussion, which is a quite' spicy one,
seems to be narrowed down to a question
of veracity between the disputants. With
out attempting to bias our readers one way
or the other, we would suggest a careful
perusal of the documents, and a verdict in
accordance with the evidence.
Postage Stamps. We would caution
persons against using internal revenue
stamps for postage, as they arc of no use
whatever. In cases where such stamps
aro used, full postage is charged to the
recipient of tho letter, the value of the
internal revenue stamps goinsfor nothing
ua pusiae. Ai buouiu aiso oc remembered
that there is no ono cent postage rates in
use now, the lowest for drop letters cr
newspapers being two cents.
' -
There are unmistakable indications
that our armies are about to assume the
offensive, and press a vigorous prosccutiou
of the war. The positions gained,- and
now occupied by them, arc such as to
afford the means for striking the most
telling blows tho Rebellion has yet re
ceived. .
Tlie I'lau of Gen. Lce.
The Philadelphia Pre advances the
following eensible opinion as to Gen.
Lee's intentions in his recent demonstra
tion on "Washington :
We think it not improbable that the
passage of tho Potomac was included in
the general plan of his movements, by
Gen. Lee. "But Washington, with its
fortifications, is impregnable," we hear it
said by those who instantly associate the
idea of a march upou the Capital with the
suggestions of a rebel advance. We con
cede that Washington is impregnable
against auy force Gen. Lee ':ould bring
against it; and, even supposing that it
should be taken by the rebels, that it
could not be held by them forty-eight
hours. It would be the most fatal victo
ry Lee could possibly achieve, for it
would-bring upon his ragged legions a
swift and terrible destruction, and rouse
the whole North to arms. What, then,
was the aim of the rebel General? Was
it to force Gen. Meade to give battle, in
the hope of destroying or capturing his
army, and thus avenging the terrible
defeat of Gettysburg? Primarily, we
think not, although Lee, confident that
t!i Army of the Potomac has been weak
ened to ftreugthen Kosecrans, oul-1
probably not seek to avoid a general
engagement, if a favorable opportunity
offered. Ys his object simply to gain
plunder, or did he begin, in fact, foraging
expedition in force Such may have
been one of bis incidental purposes ; but
certainly it cannot be the main one. Nor,
finally, do we believe that his sole object
was to make a last desperate atiempt to
attach "My Maryland" to the Confederacy.
To some extent one or more of these pur
poses may help to explain hU preseut
undertaking : but we feel convinced that,
after all, his grand motive was to jain
time. In the summer of 1S62, General
IJraorg, taking the initiative, advanced
against General IJucll's communications,
compelling him to retreat to lvouisvillc,
by which movement the whole of Tenii-
esse came into rebel possession, and the J J.ime I'arrell,
war was retarded for au entire vea

success lias always been indifferent. Ue
cannot spare the men. One or two
Gettysburgs would annihilate his army,
aud with his army destroyed there would
be an end of th 3 rebellion at .onca.
Therefore, he has adopted the&hrewd and
economical policy of avoiding general
engagements, substituting strategy for ! the Orphans' Couri of CiMlnu ow'V

the ground in lrginia, intersected with
mountain ridges aud numerous streams,
that the obstacles an invading army must
encounter arc very difficult to be neutral
ized by mere superiority of numbers
Hence it has occurred that in several
memorable instances when our generals
have apparently been "masters' of the
situation, the. advantages have rcstell
with the enemv,
Journal ot last week said : "As apnrr-il
rule, the belligerent thai boldly seizes tbe
initiative will reduce his ad'vcrsarv to
follow his lead, for there are few ,-om-manders
that have the audacity displayed
by Tuicnnc, who, when his opponent,

Although it was hy feiguing to make a
movement precisely similar to this that
General Meade compelled Kwell torecross
the llapidan on tho 10th of the present
month, he would scarcely, in imitation of
lurennes audacity, have dared to carry
out the counter-movement; for the rik
far outweighed the advantages. It is b0
cause General Lee appreciated this fact!
