Before the present' number of our pa

question will.be propounded to at:m.-
11 would. not - mportant4or—Congress
to raise ate queitiiiiii at all, if it were not
for the feet•that the dirt-eaters of the
Northern States will flood that body with
petitiona.askingthe members „of it to get
down On their marrow bones and present
an' humble prayer to the chivllry of the
South to remain in the Union. We know '
the factthat petitions of this kind have
been extensively though secretly, circula
ted, and we are informed that even in our
own town some persons have been enga-
.ged in this dirty work. The Northern
_States have always -been true and loyal to
the - Union, and often sacrificed their own
interests to protect and propitiate their
brethern of the South. We have passed
bills to protOt the sugar interest of Louis
iana, a 4 ,1150 like bills to protect the in
teres of the Cotton-growing States.—

he South is not yet satisfied—they de

mand the right to establish a confederacy
for themS'elves—to be free and indepen
dent of the North—they also claim the
right to dictate to the free States who
shall or who shall not be President- of
this glorious Union. Will the freemen
of the North yield to these demands ?
Have we not already conceded enough ?

our rights as freemen ? What then can
induce the men of the North to
_petition,
'
to petitions of this kind do not represent
thB populr will and wishes of the
The general wish of our Northern people
is that the war should be carried on until
the traitors, of the South shall lay down
their arms and beg for peace—until they
shill submit to the Constitution and the
laws of the United _States and recognize
the ever glorious flag of our Union—What
• hasthe North done that she should beg
peace)of the South? While traitors and
tories4 friends of the South may wish this,
the masses of the people do not. They
know that the South has committed trea
son= tlfey 'blow that; ilia Obi flag of 'tar
fathers has been trailed in the dust. by
Southern conspirators—that our nation
has been disgraced and dishonored by
these mad men. The stain upon our flag
must be wiped off, and the iiitegrity of
our nation vindicated. The time to make
concessions and talk Peace as far -as the
North is concerned has gone by; treason
stalks boldly in our land. It is not the
time to talk peace when we have a men
aced capital, a dishonored flag, obstructed
commerce on the illissisSippi, pirates on
the seas pursuing our merchantmen, the
gallows or rifle threatening every Union
man in the South, and masked batteries
around the torah of Washington. We
cannot talk peace while Fort Sumpter is
filled with an exultant foe, while Fort
Pickens is surrounded by the batteries of
a rebel army, while the blood of Ellswo;th
is unavenged, and a United States Sena-
for is menaced with death for his devotion
to his country. This treason must be
first crushed; its leaders must yield an
unconditional submission, and when we
are assured that the Union has been main-
taioed x and
_that its flag floats from James
river to iVlatagorda Bay, it will be time
to talk of an honorable peace and the
"concession consistent with our honor
and welfave."
If the South wants war let her have
it. • We have men enough in the North
to stand by the stars and stripes, and to
crush out rebellion. The old flag must
!Ain wave, and if it is to be war, let it
last until traitors shall bow down and ask
for Peace, The South must and will sub
mit, unless aided by the traitors of the
North. We know that the soldiers of the
North, now engaged in fighting the bat-
ties' of our country, have offered their
services with strong patriotic feeling, and
with the firm determination to oonquer
oidip.. Let their battle-cry be God and
the Bight.

has lately written S..letter, defining his
position on the warqueStion. It contaiiia
sentiments which- we cordially endorse.
Although politically:opposed to, Mr. 13:,
we do hot .hesitate to say,: that now, as
pOlitics are or ought to be laid aside, his
letter meets with our full approbation and
that if he only'earries ou,-y his acts in

we have no doubt that on his 'return from
the discharge of his duties, he will be
greeted by all his honest constituents with
the cry of "well done thou good and
faithful servant."

cation for our paper. It is bad enough
for us to have to publish the " annony

have some decency, but if SUMPTER has
taken to the low business of chicken
stealing, we want no more communica

clamation. Jell' Davis' wife and her sis

sent hti wife and daughter to the north
for protection. This looks considerably
as though the arch-traitors of the rebellion
had not much confidence in the conspiracy

England, Toombs is disgpAcilAlidull,and.

Anti-War 12C dltortal Convention
Inithese stirring times of war, when al
most the entire people .of the Northern
States are looking forward to the subju
gation of those who have trampled the
American Flag is the - dust, we are sur
prised that there are still some occupy
ing high positions who are willing to bow'
down to the nigger oligarchy and eat dirt,
if their southern masters command them so
to do.
We especially cotnynend. td the atten
tip4Astour readers the following resold'
tions passed at a convention of democrat
is editors in New Xork a few since
Resolved, That we earnestly desire the per.
.petuation of the Union of these States; but,
in the language of the lamented Stephen A.
Douglas, we believe that "war is disunion,"
and that if the Union he continued, it must
be upon the principles on which it was
lormed. viz: the voluntary consent of its mem
hers; that any other mode is subversive of
the principles of self government; and hence,
in order to restore this Union, the first re
quisite is peace, to the end that all questions
may be settled, not despotically. by thesword,
but voluntarily, by free consent of the Amer
icon people-
Resolved, That the present alarming and
deplorable condition of our country has a
risen mainly from the exercise of unconsti
tutional powers by the present Chief Magis
trate, who has not hesivited to inaugurate a
war—to enlist a large standing army—to in
crease the navy—to sieze private papers—to
deny citizens the right to bear arms, and to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus, all of
which acts are in direct violation of art. 1,
sections 8 and 9, of the constitution of the
United Stalest and of the amendments there
to, art 2 and art 4.
Resolved. That the enormous expenses of
the present war will seriously burden our
people; that a standing army is dangerous
to the safety of the citizens ; that its efipense
is drawn from the toil of the agricultural
and Working classes ; that, the44rrill tariff
is simply a part of the machinery of mon
archy to enrich the few at the expense of the
many, and that we enter out firm and ear
nest protest against all of these measures, as
opposed to the principles of true democracy
and destructive to the liberties and materi
al interests of the people of the Northern
States.
Resolved, That the Republican party has
proved that all its pretentious of devotion to
"freedom, free speech, and free discUssion"
were simply cloaks to conceal their real en•
mitt' to liberty and the constitutional' guar;
antees of citizens, and that' the attempt to
muzzle the Democratic press by mobs and
terrorism, to prevent citizens from express
tug their honest opinions, calls for and de
serves the sternest condemnation of every
true friend of law, order, libetty, and the in
alienable rights of man.
Resolved, That in view of the many,mani
fest violations of the fundamental principles
of the Constitution, it becomes the
,duty of
the Democratic press, and of all friends and
advocitttes.of free institutions, to unite in re
siding those alarming strides towards a des
potic,_consoll'slated system of government;
and that it •be especially suggested to all
friends of peace and constitutional liberty,
irrespective of party, to agree upon a joint
and mutual basis for, action at the present
crisis. .
Resolved,. Thatttre adjourn to Meet at the
call of the chairmtin •of the Democratic As

being„awxle_us In enjoy the ,company .el the
Chief Mar.shal, were escorted to the Fort,
early this morning, by a large number of mil
itary, detailed for this special duty by Gen.
'Banks. It is said the General will confer
similar distinction upon ,- ;;Other—dignitaries of
the city,in a few days.
This morning, I started out upon a scouting
expedition. I found the city in a blaze of ex
citement. Oa reaching Monument Square, I
found kfull regiment formed into a hollow
square, with two pieces of artillery planted,
commanding the leading avenues. The Men
had the Lammers of their guns raised, reads
for instant action. Marching round, I came
to Exchange Place, where I observed another
party of military, surrounding the Custom
House. Another squad was guarding St Pat
rick's Church, in East Baltimore, where it is
sail], arms are deposited. What does all this
mean I The answer is, General Banks knows.
The daily papers have given you account of
the discovery of arms, amunition, &c., gecret
-1 in Marshal Bane's office, and other places.
It is said, that a great uprising of secessionists'
was too take place on the Fourth of July, when
every Union man was to have fallen before the
guns, concealed for Chia purpose. But Gen.
Banks has been too fast for them. It grinds
the f@elings of the disunionists to see a Mas
sachusetts man at the head of affairs in this
department, and Massachusetts soldiers pre
serving the peace of the city.
About one-third of the mate population of
city, are bitter enemies of 'the Government ;
and, as for the ladies, I am sorry to say, that
the majority are considered in favor of seces
sion. The ravings and rantings of secession
ists strike strangely upon the ear of one fresh
from the loyal State of Pennsylvania. Wher
ever I go. I hear complaints againk "Lincoln's
hordes." and the invasion of the chivalrous
South by the North.
Since writing the above, a friend has
stepped in, and revealed the plan of action for
the Fourth, on the part of the rebels. Ten
thousand men were to start out, at the mid.
!tight hour, and reaching the residences of
the leading Union men were to shoot them
deco in cold blood. This is -perfectly relic•
ble. The wretches, however, have been frus
trated in their plan of operation, by the ar
rest of the ringleader, and the discovery of
their arms. .
On last Sabha,. I listened to an 'eloquent
iscourse from Rev. Dr. Riley, of the Exeter
Ireet Church
On the Fourth, the Union 'men intend hay'.
ing a grand demonstration Hon. Reverdy
Johnson has been selected as the orator for
the occasion, and Rev. A. A. Reese, D. D , as
Chaplain. Thus, instead of the bloody deeds
of the vile secessionists and traitors, who ex
pected to have full sway, we shall enjoy the
triumphant shouts of American freemen who
have not yielded to the dictum of South Car
olina Tyrants, and are determined to trample
under foot the treasonable action of.tho Rich
mond Junto and the little, insignificant hand_
of traitors that haira been spouting 'for the
last few weeks at Frederick City.
The Stars and Stripes are flpating hero in
several prominent places ; yet, there is but
little enthusiasm manifested by the Union
EEO
Troops are almost constantly passing Ono'
the city to Washington. They often pass
from one rail way station to another without
hearing cheers for the glorious Flag of our
country. On Siturday, a soldier, in one of
the regiments, had his wife at his side, anti
his child in his arms. As they passed along,
three cheers were given for the baby!
Examinations of the Public Schools
Mr. EDITOR:—Whon business 'of all kind
has been prostrated by the' excited state of the
country, ono would suppose that educational
pursuits would share the same fate; but on
attending the public examinations of the
schools of Carlisle, we were induced to think
otherwise.
The proficiency attained by the pupils hay
ing exceeded that of former years, thereby
showing greater exertion 'on the part of the
teachers, and increased application on the part
of the pupils; also proving the complete suf
ficiency of the system upon'which the opera

• The examinations began •on Wednesday,

the Primary Department, taught by Misses
Edmonds, Gardner, Wiglitman, Reighter, 801 l
and Mrs. Cauffman. Three of them being ox•
amined duringeach half day. two of theschools
were visited each by two Directors, and the
third by one only,- the vacancy being caused
by the illness of the venerable Director, Mr.
Blair, whose absence we noted with sorrow,
for while in health he wee punctually at his
post.
The examinations of the above schools were
well attended and passed inspection admir
ably, the little folks having been well drilled in
the rudiments of atißnglish education. •
On Thursday, Juno 20, the schools of the

an allusion to the estimable Directors; Messrs.

and do now detain in custody, Mr: Geo.
P. Kane, 'Chief of Police of the city of

public declaration of the motive by which
I have been governed in this proceeding.
It is not my purpose, neither is it in con

consistent with the constitution and laws
of the United States and Maryland; but
unlawful combinations of men, organized
for resistance-to such laws and to provide
hidden depositories of arms and ammuni

to exist in this department. The mass

fight - was really the most cfesperate one oh
record, and abounds with instances of
wonderful daring and coolness.

A BATTLE FOUGHT YESTERDAY.
THE ENEMY ROUTED.
REA Vl' LOSS OF THE REBELS.
RAGERSTOWN, July 2.
Between three and four o'clock this
morning the troops which have been con
centrating at llagehtown and Williams
port for several dare past crossed the ford
at Williamsport Gen Patterson reviewed
them as they filed past him. The morn
ing was blight and beautiful, and the sol
diers were in exeellmt spirits. -
Scouting parties of
~Capt. MeMulin's
Raners and others selected from the first
Wisconsin regimen t,. were out at midnight
and frequently during the night brisk fir
ing was heard between the Federal pick
ets and those of the enemy on the Virginia
side.
The proper fords baying been neer=
tamed, the advance took place before day
light, the post of honor being assigned to
Capt. McMulin's Rangers , the first Wis
consin and the elevent Pennsylvania.—
The advancing columns consisted of the
brigades of Abercrombie, - Thomas and
Kegley. The Independent Rangers be
hayed remarkably well, getting up close
to.the enemyat a.distance of only.seventy-
Bove yards.
Abercrombie's-brig,ade led the advance.
and the casualities of the conflict were al
most exclusively in the first Wisconsin
and the eleventh Pennsylvania regiments
Col Jarret and Lieut. Colonel Coulter led
the skirmishers, opening upon them at
400 yards.
The whole, of the rebel forges at Mar
tinsburg, consisting of 4 regiments of in
fantry and 1 regiment:of cavalry, were
engaged in the action. They had with
them four pieces of artillery, part of them
rifled cannon, and were commanded by
Gen: Jackson.
The First City Troop of Philadelphia
were assigned a position neair the United
States cavalry, - under -- Captain Perkins,
and behaved remarkably well. •
As far as known, the casualtielvon our
side are only two killed, and several
wounded.
Several of the dead and wounded of
the secession troops were left on the field
in their hasty retreat; one or two of them
were•buried by our men.
The loss of life on their side is stated
to be very heavy.
In anticipation of the retreat of by our
forces, the rebels had levelled the fences
on both sides of the turnpike even With
the ground, so as to cut them off in the
event of their retiring to the Potomac.
The first stand was made at Poterfield':
farm, on the
_turnpike, near Ilaynesville,
where it was necessary to destroy a barn
and c3rriage house, to make a charge upon
the enemy. Here the conflict was fierce,
the rebels standing well up to their work,
and finally slowly retreated:
Knapsacks and canteens were hastily
thrown aside as encumbranees to a hasty
march. They left behind them a number
of blankets and other articles of value, in
dicating a heavy loss on their side.

ADJUTANT.—There is a rumor here
that our fellow townsman, A. B. SHARPF,
Esq., a pri-ate in Capt. llENDrasotes
Company, has been elected Adjutant of
his regiment._ , hope„ this rumor, is
true, as we know no better man could
have been selected.—BnAny, we wish
you luck—may your shadow never srow
less.
Since the above was in type, we' are
assured that Mr. S. has been commissioned
Adjutant.
PnomoT..—Capt. TOTTEN, .Of Me
chanicsburg, has been appointed Lieut.
Colonel, of the Seventh Regiment of the
Pennsylvania Reserve, stationed at West
1 Chester.
THE FOURTH IN CALISLE.—On yes
terday morning the citizens of the town
were aroused from...their slumbers by
sweet music discoursed by the Carlisle
Brass Band. They gave us the." Star
Spangled banner,"—" Hail 'Columbia,"
and other soul inspiring National airs—
they also favored the citizens by driving'
through the town in the evening, and
performing, as they always'do, in such a
manner as to wig the applause of all our
citizens. There was no pubiie celebra
ti'm of the day. Too many thought of
our brave men who were with us one
yea - t; ago, but-have now gone to fight for
the American flag; and many a silent
prayer went up that ere another 4th of
July would collie around they would be
with us in good health crowned with
wreaths of victory.
The youngsters filled with enthusiasm
fired off an immense quantity of fire-crack
ers, rockets &c. At 12 o'clock noon a
national salute was - fired at the Barracki:

THE CARLISLE BAH. AND THE WAR
—No town in Pennsylvania, or in any
other State that we know of, has so 'Much
right to be proud of its members of the
legal profession as we have. When the
- cry of "to arms !" rang , through the land,
the membet% of our bar at once forgot
fees and clients, and only knew that the
flag that . they and we 'revere and love had
been assailed by armed traitors. Business,
wives and families, self interest and all
else was forgotten in the firm and fixed
determination to wipe out the insult.—
Already there have et:diked in the service
of our country from the bar, J. B. PAR
KER, LEM'L TODD, WM. M. PENROSE,
A. B. SHARPE, R. M. HENDERSON, J.
S. COLWELL, S. V. RUBY, Wlll. D. HAL
BERT, D. N. NEVIN,. and " others.—
We will guarantee that when an opportu
nity offers, each and all of these gentle
men will make their mark.
TELE LADIES OF CARLISLE. --- We
have frequently spoken of the kind
ness of the ladies of Carlisle toward
the soldiers of our own town, as well as
those who were passing through our town
towards the seat of war. We know that
theit,attentions to the needy soldiers are
and have been fully appreciated. But
we have been informed of an act of kind
nes performed by a lady born in_ anr_midst
—but by marriage now not of us—which
we cannot refrain from mentioning. We
learn from a private letter that Mrs. ZA
NIER, formerly Miss NARY M'CLURE of
this place, presented two hundred have-'
locks, of the most approved pattern, to
the soldiers of the 25th ( Advance )
regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, Col.
CAKE commanding, and stationed near
the Washington arsenal. The donation
was very - opportune, as - several companies
were entirety without them. God bless
the ladies of Carlisle.
CLOSING OF THE 'PUBLIC SCHOOLS.-
The schools of this place oloied on Fri
day evening last, with an exhibition in
Rheem's Hall by the pupils of the male
and female High Sdhoola. The scholars
acquitted themselves so well as not only.

-also-to-convince- - us - of - - the -- eflieieney -- of

of our board of Directors. Where all'
