The Kew Militia. Bill.
Tim nAw bill 5n reference rr the orcran-
ization of the militia of the State has

is now in the hands of the Governor for
y his approval. It contains. ten sections.
, The two first of these relate to the bor

' of the militia. The third authorize? the
Governor to appoint one Major General
and two Brigadier Generals to command
. the forces. . Section fourth has reference to
Quartermaster and Commissary matters.
Section fifth authorizes the Governor to

to bo composed of fifteen regiments and
vailed the Pennsylvania State Guard, in
due proportion of cavalry, infantry and
artillery ; , the members thereof to be
. armed and equipped, clothed, disciplined,
-.-governed and paid while in actual service
as similar troops in the United States'
service, and to be enlisted for the term of
inree years; mis corps 10 oe nauie 10 no
called into the service of the State at euch
.times as the Governor may deem necessa-
. V - A - I " L 1 . A
ry; tne uoveinor to nave tne appointing
of the regimental officers, and the several
companies composing tho corps to choose
their company officers. Section sixth
authorizes the Governor to provide all
-necessary hospital arrangements, camps of
instruction, arms and accoutrements, gar
rison and camp equipage, transportation,
&c, &c. . Section sevcqth authorizes the
Governor to cause to be made an imme
diate enrollment and classification of the
militia of the Commonwealth, and to draft
from' the body of the same when volun
teering fails to fill any quota called for.
Section eighth authorizes the Governor,
if practicable, to organize the militia on
the basis of the enrollment made in the
several districts of the State by the Uni
ted States' enrolling officers, to remain in
effect until the time fixed by law for
making the enrollment of the militia of
the. State, but if this be impracticable, he
is authorized to cause to be made an im
mediate enrollment; one competent physician-
and the county commissioners of
each county (or city commissioners of a
city) to constitute a board with power to
determine exemptions from enrollment;
the Governor to have, authority to make
and enforce all orders necessary in his
judgment to carry out the provisions of
this act, and to effect a speedy enrollment
cod organization of the militia. Section
ninth relates to the, sale of unserviceable
ordnance by the , Quartermaster-General.
Section tenth makes provision fox the
payment of the assessors of a county. .
If properly executed, this laV cannot
fail to make our militia forces available for
self-protection. We contain, within our
tStato all the elements in profusion nec
essary to the organization , of a ' State
Guard such as is authorized by the law;
and with such a State Guard in existence,
and on our" borders, fully armed . and
equipped, wc could successfully bid defi
ance to all raiding parties similar, to 'the
fiend M'Causland'a. We will print the
bill in extenso next week.

Hundred thousand men had been sent to
Grant and Sherman, say a month ago,
Richmond and Atlanta would now be
oars, and Grant would be pursuing Lee's
broken, army into North .Carolina, and
Sherman would be chasing the fragments
of Hood'e army ioto South Carolina. 1

Bigotry.
, The blindnesss of partisan bigotry was
never better illustrated than in the late
special election. There were three amend
ments to be voted on at that election
one giving soldiers the right to vote,
another prohibiting the Legislature from
passing laws in cases where the Courts
have jurisdiction, and another restraining
the Legislature from passing, any law
having more than one object, which must
be clearly expressed in the title. There
might bo a partisan reason for 'voting
against the soldiers' amendment; but what
sane man could have any objection to the
others ! And yet those who voted against
the first amendment voted also against the
others.
The published returns show a great uni
formity in the vote against the amend
ments. There are fewer votes, of course,
against the second and third, than against
the first, because there must have been
enough men of good sense in the party in
every county to make the difference ; but
the disparity in the votes is not great, and
the fact is plainly shown that the bulk of
those who voted against the first amend
ment voted against the others. . . :

ker, ot Gambia county, as the Union can
didate for Congress at the ensuing elec
tion. - This action receives pur hearty ap-i

Union loving citiwn in the district " Mr.
Barker's competitors, Messrs. Hail and
Dorriji. alihourhr both men of sterling
dualities, and either of whom it 'would
have affurded us irreat TuTeasure to have
supported, were not at this particular time
the : most acceptable, nor would it have
been expedient to have nominated' either
at this period, wneu periect narmonynu
unanimity is necessary in the Union ranks,
to secure the overwhelming defeat of the
enemies of the Government, and redeem
the District from the disgrace of misrep
resentation."" The'nnmiDatiou of Mr. Bar
kery while it will serve to mollify any dis
agreements whicli may have arisen on ac
count of the localify. from wnicu too can
didate should come, and heal the divisions
if any existed," between the Union men
in the other counties which presented can
didates,' is the more acceptable on account
of the merit, ability and high-toned patn
otism characterizing the man himsolf.
Mr. Barker has always been an. ardent
supporter of the great principles enuncia
ted by Clay and V cbster, nas always been
found on the side of his country, is a
plain, straight-forward, upright, self-made
man. If ia nnc of the neoDle. He has
battled, as other poor men with adverse
circumstances, and has risen by his own
persevering, patient and unwearying labor
to his present position esteemed by all
who know what toil means, and who are
caDable of appreciatincr the truth that
"an honest man's the noblest work of
God."
At no previous period of the history of the
nation have, issues been submitted, to
Conaress of a magnitude equal to those
which will be pressed home upon the next
lVatinn.il Legislature. The end o all
things come at last, and in all probability
by the time the next Congress assembles
. . ... n . : - ?
tne terriDic conmci now ragtu
land will have ceased. It is for
Ridprniinn tha the next Congressman
should be chosen with the greatest ire
Whwi the wir ends, a multiplicity of
issnes: limitless in extent and varied in
application, will call for settlement. h
condition of the revolted States in 'tne
Union, their nowers and privileges udder
, . , m
that Union, the indemnification of union
men for injuries received at the South,
the future status of slavery, the adjust
ment of the wrongs suffered by the Union
men of border States, the disposition of
the war debt, and a multitude of questions
will demand settlement at the hands ot the
next Congress. Our people must see that
to meet such issues as these, men of un
doubted lovaltv. enlarged intelligence and
honesty of purpose must be selected-
men whom tue whole nation win nonor, in
whom we can confide. A. A. Barker has
been designated by tho representatives of
the loyal people of this district a3 the one
to whom this important trust may oe con
tided with perfect security who has the
ability to discharge the duties oi theposi
tion to which he will be elevated next Oo-
tober with honor.to himself and credit to
his intelligent and loyal constituency
All that remains is for us to call upon
the neoDle to so to work at unce. .Now is
the time lor action, and every loyal man
who has the best interests of his country
at heart, and who has any pride in bcin
faithfully and ably represented in the
councils of the nation, should make the
election of Mr. Barker a personal matter,
and do his utmost to secure it.t .
From the Lewistotcn Gazette.
The ' CongreFsioual coulerees having
terminated their labors by nominating A.
A. Barker. Esq., of Cambria county.
there seems to be a general acquiescence
that under the. circumstances, it was the
best that could have been made. It is
now therefore' incumbent; on the. Union
men of the district today aside air private
bickerings 'and' personal dissepsion3, and
go to work to ele'et him. "With any de
gree of unanimity and active co-operation,
this' can easily be' doue J but as usual in
such clections'it will require a thorough
organization.. Mr. Barker, himself is a
working man, and will do his share, for
we know whatever he undertakes he goes
thro' with, without regard to the amount of
labor to be performed.. Let all therelore
who have success ac heart, aid him in his
efforts, and this district will be represented
in the next Congress by ' an energetic
Union man who believes rebels to be rebels,
and will vbte to treat them as such. ,
The patent democratic press is already
makincr attacks on our candidate in the
usual inconsistent way of that party. Thus
while the Lowistown Democrat charges
Mr. Barker with being a "lumberman
from Maine' the Hollidaysburg Standard
locates him as "from , Massachusetts,
statements which at once show they know
nothing' about him. Being a working
man, giving empioymeni w auumeus w
liberal, wages. " he is also ' sneered at as
untitled by nature and education for Con
gress. vWe suppose if ho were a lawyer
who knew how to grow rich by fleecing
clionts, shaving notes, and diug a great
many other things calculated to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer, ho would
be far more acceptable and just the man !
. m m
Union Disunion.
. The American Union is a great, abi
ding fact. ' It rests immutably on certain
broad, manifest geographical, political and
commercial necessities. A community of
origin
and of
language
the great
mass of our people intensifies the tendency
of this broad domain toward cohesion and
unity. . .. - . .
"This tendency may be temporarily over
borne, just as a heavy body may bo lifted
from and suspended at a distance above
the earth just as Portugal has for ages
been torn from the side of Spain just as
Italy was for centuries parceled out among
a number of petty despots.' In the ejid,
however, the law of gravitation, political
or material, is certain to assert itself.
Human Slavery is the disturbing coun
teracting centrifugal force in our political
system, the palpable and ouly cause of our
past, present -and future alienation. No
one ever met' an English-speaking native
of any ; one of our. States. "who desired
disunion unless on account of Slavery.' '.
This Slavery is a great but not an
enduring evil. All the better "influences
of our time fight against it with a force
utterly unknown to darker ages. The
Steaui-Engine, and every other important
invention (the Cotton-Gin 1 apparently
excepted,) wars on it incessantly and
powerfully There are not to-day half so
many slaves in Christendom as there wete
in 1800;- it is not-at all probable that
what remains of Slavery will much outlast
the present century.
Free Labor would soon oust Slavery
anywhere if competition were allowed;
but it never is. Had "Yankees" been
really at liberty to buy cotton and sugar
estates and cultivate them by Free Labor,
Slavery would long since have been run
out of the South, to the great profit of all
concerned ; but the institution has defen
ses in the laws, the habits, the mobs, the
bowie-knives and revolvers, of the South,
which Free Labor has not been prepared
to overcome. There never yet has been
a day when a New-Englander buying a
great South Carolina plantation at public
sale, and proceeding to work it energet
ically by Free Labor, would not have been
regarded aud treated as a dangerous public
eDemy.
Our Revolutionary sages comprehended
and deprecated the deadly antagonism,
the "irrepressible conflict" between Free
dom and Slavery; but they deemed the
latter a blunder so palpable, a wrong so
gross, that it must speedily vanish. Roger
Sherman, in . the Federal Convention of
1787. observed that "the Abolition of
Slavery seemed to be growing in the
United States;" and that "the good sense
of the several States would probably by
degrees complete it." Oliver Ellsworth
remarked "Slavery, in time, will not be
a speck in our couutry ;" and no one dis
sented or demurred. Nearly all the great
men of that Convention denounced and
reprobated Slavery; no oue attempted to
justify it.
Still, the extreme South Georgia and
South Carolina clung to the abuse, .in
sisted on its maiutenauce, demanded guar
anties for its toleration, so long as certain
States should see fit to uphold it. Hence
the provision that the Slave-Trade should
be permitted for twenty years, longer,
backed by the sharp alternative, "No
Slave-Trade, no Union." A majority
succumbed to that ultimatum. The clause
under which the fugitive slaves are re
claimed owes its adoption to a similar
requirement, though perhaps not so clear
ly expressed. And these immoral con
cessions were made by Gen. O. C. Pick
ney in the South Carolina Convention his
chief reasons for voting to ratify the Con
stitution. '
Mr. Clay, in 1844, though on other
grounds opposing the Annexation of
Texas, urged that a permanent acquisition
ought not to re ratused on account of a
temporary institution like Slavery.
The Northern Democratic politicians
have a single ' nostrum for restoring and
perpetuating the Union further conces-
sions, lower prostrations to the clave
ower. Slavery renders the South their
rotten Dorougn, always certain to give
i . v l t
them a large majority of its votes in Con
gress and for President. No matter though
it scourges and devastates the South, it
nevertheless brings plenteous grists to the.
mill of ".Democracy. .
1 his policy feeds and strengthens, while
professing only to placate, the Union's
only formidable, inveterate enemy. It is
short-sighted, selfish, leading by flowery
paths down to perdition. . ,
Such is the policy which tho Democrat
ic politicians are being drilled to re-establish
at Chicago and in the ensuing elec
tion. Should it prevail, the experience
of two generations will have been ignored.
and seas of blood and treasure lavished in
vain.' N. Y. Tribune. '
It is stated as quite certain that
the draft ordered to take place September
5th will bo commenced on that day. For
some timo past reasonable doubts relative
to the enforcement of the t President's
order at that time have been entertained
by the people, and even by many military
men. it now seems, r However, that it u
the intention of the Government to com
mence the. work on the -day appointed.
and prosecute, it to completion as speedily
as possible.; The enrollment has been
completed and the machinery for drafting
is in working order, ready for the tuning
of the wheel. . . . -
What the Woman Did.'
The history ot the cool courage and en
tiro presence of mind manifested by" the
woman of" Chambersbufg during tho late
rebel raid remains to .be written. -Every
day brings us some new development
ot their heroism and dauntless courage.
When the rebels came into' the centre of
the town j and were purposely plied with
whisky by their officers, that their fiendisb
ness might bo increased, the wife of the
Methodist preacher of the town went boldly
to the half savage wretches : "Are you
ordered to bum churches ?" she asked, as
they were about to. apply the torch to the
market-house. "No," was the reply, "we
havo .no orders . of that kind." "Then
don't fire the market-house," fcaid she; "if
you do, 'ou- will also burn the church."
The'fellows desisted, but to make assur
ance doubly sure, her husband,'; the minis
ter, pullcd down all the fences surround
ing the church that fire might not be com
municated. A noble lady, Mrs. M'Clel
lati, also1 went among the rebel troops,
fearlessly and bravely. Poiuting to a
little house she owned "There," said she,
"is all my' earthly possession: If you
render me homeless, I will follow you to
the bar of God, and at the day of judg
ment will call -upon the Almighty to
avenge inc."'' The house vrw spared.
There was staying in ihe town at the
time of the raid a noble lady from Pitts
burg, a Mrs. Reid . The lady was there
upon a visit. . Finding the marauders in
the city, she gathered her most valuable
clothing in a bundle, and takiugher child
in her arms. started on foot for Shippeos
burg, a distance of eighteen miles. She
met upon tbo road squads of rebel soldiers.
These soldiers commiserated her wearied
appearance, carried for her ' her bundle
aud her child, and told her that nothing
but tho stern orders of " Gen. M Causland
and Gen. Early had produced the dire re
sults that drove her forth for safety. A
druggist in the town did a brae deed.
Two rebels entered his store, and locked
the door behind them. They took the
druggist's bottle of turpentiue and poured
it upon the floor. They set fire to it. A
dense black smoke arose. In their haste
to get out of the back door they dropped
the key upon the floor. Both simultane
ously stooped to recover it. The druggist
iu the meantime had loaded a double-barrel
shot gun with bullets. "Click, click"
went the locks. The druggist seut both
into eternity while they were searching fur
the key. Two men, we are informed, were
shot by their officers for dereliction of du
ty in sparing buildings that they had or
dered to be fired. But that ihe soldiers
were abundantly applied with liquor,
their inhumanity would have been much
less marked. Rev. Mr. Torreucc, Agent
of the Pennsylvania Bible Society, yester
day wrote to the citizens of Chambersburg;
tenderiug on behalf of the.society a bible
to each and every family who had lost
their family bibles by the flames. The
bibles in the' Methodist church were res
cued by a lady sevcuty-five years of age,
when the church seemed likely to be given
to the flames.
-
The Claims of 31'Clellan.
The strong probability is that M'Clel
ian will bo the Copperhead candidate for
President. A cotemporary thus correctly
states his claim aud chances of election :
If we were to say to an average Democrat
what wo undotingly believe that
two-thirds of those now noisily lor M'
Clellan would rather vote directly for the
rebel General Lee, ho would probably re
sist if not resent the assertion; but no
candid M'CIellanitc will deny that Lee's
generalship has done more for M'Clellan
thanM'Clellan's own. ' We appeal to ev
ery candid observer for the truth and per
tinence of our averment that Union fail
ures and Union discouragement aie
the chief grounds of hope for M'Clel
lan's success. Hera is a Union General
aspiring to bo President of the Ucioo, who
is to.be telceted, if at : all, not on the
strength of his own achieveuieuts, but on
that of his antagonist's ! Suppose Burn-
side had triumphed at Fredericksburg, ta
ken Richmond, broken the rebel power,
and re-established the authority of the
Union over the South, does any man be
lieve that M'Clellan would have been a

USX- It turns out that Gen. Burnside
has not been relieved of his command, as
reported. .- A.-dispatch from Provideuce,
Rhode Island, dated on Tuesday, says that
the' General is in that, town on leave of
absence, and adds positively that he ha3 not
been relieved. The,Court of Inquiry into
the cause . of the late failure at Peters
burg, in which General Burnside is impli
cated, adjourned on account of tho neces
sary absence of some of its member. ' Tho
investigation has therefore not bceu con
cluded. ......

. BST" Last week,, a portion of Grant's
army advanced and took position on the
line of the. Weldon, Railroad. - Subse
quently the rebels attacked this force, and
a tierce battle was fought. At last re porta
we still hold our position, , , .
An Armistice.
The rebel papers in Richmond, anj th
'.raid in New York, are talking aKn.
lie:
a
an armistice, and a rumor ti i,.
about
afloat that Mr. Lincoln is about to
pose one. This we are cocfUent is
out the slightest foundation. There
little consequence to be attached to th"'
demand by the Richmond and the North
ern sympathizing press, since we have th"
printed declaration by Jeff. Davis ttatk
terms will be listened to that do not cou
template the absolute independence of th"
South. -Notwithstanding this has be
put squarely before the country, theDem!
ocratic press and those corsair journal
which have no higher aim than to oppoQ
Mr. Lincoln, even if they break the coun
try, will continue to cry out for peac aj
though it wero attainable except by fi'ht
iug the war through and the rebellion
down. Why not take Jeff. DavU at his
word ?- tlndependenca or annihilation he
says "he' will have. ,Who wiil stand out
and say openly he Is for recognizing the
ipdependeuce of the South ? Why not
then, support the craly other course, which
U the "extermination," if not of J?fi
Davis, at any rale of the rebellion ? 7
talk of an armistice is the cream of folly.
- If Jeff. Davis wants uu armistice, let
him say so. If he has terms to propose
let hitn propose them, and that, toe
squarely, and not by irresponsible back
door adventurers, coming by way of Can
ada. Why should we seek an armistice?
If the rebels do not wish one, why should
wc, unless we arepiepared to accei-t tho
terms of Davis, of which we have been
informed semi-officially ?
