DOULITYUL PATRIOTS. -" When negroes are
are allowed to fight,' said a man who has
drawn some money from the Government as
on officer on very light duty, in our hearing
the other day, '• when negroes are allowed to
fight, /will go out." We could not but re
flect on the disproportion of Government pny
of that man, to the services he had rendered,
and how toned' would be gained by substitu
ting a good, able bodied private soldier, black
or white, for such drones. That man who
would refuse to hold an office and take pay;
or beg for reappointment, when out of office,
because the Government would accept the
service of any loyal man who could fight, is
a poor patriot, indeed, but one that the
nation can well afford to exchange for a good
fighting negro.
WRAT Is rnn PECUNIARY REWARD —Our
young men do not need to be bribed to fight
fdr their country ; but they are perfectly
right in wanting an assurance from those - at
home that the wives, children, parents or
friends who arc dependent on them, shall
have support provided for them in their ab
sence. Hence the bounty and the pay is an
'additional inducement to volunteer. 11 is an
tiasurance to the family. The pay of a soldier
is $l3 per month; the Government bounty is
$lOO and 160 acres of land ; the county boun
ty 50. The bounty, (including land at Gov
ernment price) amounts to $350, besides the
regular pay. One month's pay and $25
bounty is paid in advance by the G;averu
meat, and $5O by the county, making $BB in
advanc6,
GOT His Dugs.—J. J. Jacobs, the editor of
the Ashland ( 0 5 - Union, who said that this
viar was a " a d—d abolition war, and
that Abe Lincoln was as much a traitor as
Jeff Davis," and has on various occasions
preached treason, recently got beautifully
thrashed by a lieutenant in one of the Ohio
companies. Jacobs was belching forth his
treason to a crowd, when the lieutenant ap
proached him and remarked " the government
paid him $l2O per month to lick just such
miserable cusses," turned in and " wiped out"
the traitor editor. That Lieutenant should be
detailed for service in this direction.—Trle

arise. The nominee for Surveyor General,
L Ross, is likewise a Democrat, of Lu
serno County. The platform adopted is
wholly unobjectionable. It makes loyalty the
solo test, and hence every true patriot in the
State can stand upon it.
A CAUTION.- We have been informed that
the $BOO,OOO of United States bonds which
formed a part of the school fund of Texas,
and were deposited in the Treasury of that
State, were not long since withdrawn anti,
sent, abroad to be sold. As the Government,
we believe, has claimed that the arms and
other property of the United States, seized by
Texas when she joined the rebellion, will be
regarded as a set off against those bonds, and
as therefore the United States will not pay
them, foreign purchasers should be put on
their guard, lest they innocently buy paper
which has lest its value. It might be well,
in fact, supposing we have understood the
case correctly, if our Consuls at Havana,
London, and Paris were authorized to give
public notice of the wiifidrawal- of our ,Gov
armours liability for theso,bonda.
Seir It has been arranged that the Post•
master General shall issue stamps on and af
ter the first of. August to bp used as currency
until the Secretary of the Treasury can per
feet his arrangements, when he will buy them
at the cost value of manufacture from the
Postoffice Department, and will sell and re
deem as provided by the law., The stamps
issued by the Postmaster General will proba
bly differ in no respect from those used for
postage except that they will be without glut•
en. They will be exchangeable at postoffioes
for postage, stamps if not defaced.

GRAND UNION DEMONSTRA
TION.
The Union meeting on Tuesday lark, 'was
a perfect success. The Court House; was
crowded to overflowing, with the patriotism
and Intelligence of our county. Old 'Mother
Camberland is again aroused from her fan
cied seourity, and is now fully aware to the
imminent danger now upon us. The meeting
was called to‘order, and Hon. James H. Gra
ham unnninously designated to preside. On
taking his seat, Judge Graham stated the ob.=
jeot of the meeting, which was to provide
means to furnish each volunteer with a suita
ble bounty. The Hon. gentlemen then
proceeded to deliver an earnest -and pa
triotic address, during which ho took oc
casion to denounce and anathematize that
portion of- -the -country _newspaper _press,
without respect to party, which devotes
itself to the crimination and recrimination,
each of the other, of the two political parties
of the day. Charging disloyalty and pecula
tion upon each other under the specious cries
of Abolitionism and Secessionism. The Hon.
Judge advised the driving out of the commu
nity of such miserable two penny editors."—
He had certainly been reading the Volunteer,
before making that speech, and if the reading
of that paper a week ago occasioned such se
vere strictures, what would he have said had
he seen yesterday's issue. But as we notice
the editor applaulls the entire proceedings as
having inaugurated the " right spirit," we
hope, and expect to see a corresponding im
provement in the tone and sentiment of that
journal. The Rev Messrs. Ross and Eells,
with Ex Gov Ritner all contributed their voices
to swell.the hearts and expand the patriotism
of the audi once, and their words of fervent
loyality, cannot fail to have a good effect.
The regular proceedings of the meeting will
be found in th's co'umn.

astic meeting convened in the Court House,

in the affairs of our country which appeals,
not only to every patriot, but to every citizen
to be up and doing for the preserimtion of the
Government and the Institutions of the land.
which are seriously threatened by a wicked
rebellion.
Resolved, That in this crisis of our national
existence all contentions about men and non
essential measures of public policy should
cease, and that but one sentiment of unselfish
devotion to the free Government to which we
owe everything as a people should animate all
our hearts with the readiness to make any
sacrifice to obtain a conclusive victory, and
with the firm resolution never to be conquer
ed by either foreign or domestic foes

to bring the war to a close with the present

bring the Southern mind to a just apprehen
sion of what their true interests and happi
ness alike require.
Resolved. That the war in which weitre en

Gen. Geo. B. McClellan.
It cannot, we think, be denied that Gen.
Goo, B. MCCLELLAN is a men of thorough
military education, and much skill and capa
city. Ile must have gone to the wall before
this were it not eo. But his fortunes have
'Purled from good to ba l,as indeed have those of
the war. His admirable service in organizing
the Potomac Army will not be forgotten. What
the-army- was -at Bull Run, -compared--with
what it was at Williamsburg, Fair Oaks and
Gains' Hill, was largely due to him. His de
lay before Alanassae seemed to weaken publiok
confidence in him, and is something to be eir:
plaiiied, but not defended. Then came the
new line of policy—the occupation of York
town, which we may, with the light of past.
note before us, be disposed to regard as a blun
der, from whence have emanated all the late
embarrassments of our armies. But once on
the Peninsula, it must be admitted that Gon.
MCCLELLAN made splendid preparation to
die
loge the enemy from their fortifications, and,
their compulsory flight acknowledged the
completeness of his labors. The pursuit was
active and vigorous—although we do not re
gard the engagements at Williamsliurg and
West Point as decided successes, or as having
evinced a high order of military talent or skill.
But, taking the campaign altogether, from
the evacuation of Yorktown to the recent
bloody battles, we do not by any means con
sider it a failure. The late movement to James
River, including the preparation for subse
quent operations, seem to us creditable mani
festations of military sagacity nud ability.
Gen MCCLELLAN has saved his army, put it
in a position for future victory, met his re
sponsibilities like a man, and celebrated them
like a soldier, and notwithstanding some seri
ous mistakes, deserves the grati , ude of the
ktnericau people.
The above brief review, says the Erie Ga
zelle, is not given from auy desire to rake up
the past, to dwell upon and magnify errors,
or to be censorious when we should be tole
rant. We have aimed to judge Gen MCCLEL
LAN as fairly as our means ofinformation ena
ble us. Indeed, our columns bear testimony
to the fact that we have always upheld him
in his present position--praising him when
we could, remaining silent when we could not
applaud. We now put the past out of sight.
Its good will live—its errors haVe had their
day. It is the duty of every citizen to sustain
the men who are sustaining the Government
—not grudgingly—not with a constant ap
prehension of something to disapprove, but
cordially and in a tolerant spirit. This is
true in reference to the Chief Magistrate, upon
whom labors and responsibilities are devolved
such as no ruler of modern times ever was re
quired to meet and. discharge. ltis also true
in reference to a military commander, who
performs his services at almost constant risk
of life, and who under the impulses common
to humanity will spare neither effort nor skill
to accomplish the desired objects. When fail
ure begets distrust, and calls for censure or
change, let us' first obtain all the facts, and
then speak and ant as they may demand,
subordinating everything to the interests of
the country. This we deem the only true
course—the course suggested by common sense
and sound patriotism.
Commission6r of Internal
• Revenue.
The tax bill as passed, authorizes the Freer
dent to appoint a Commissioner of Internal
RevenUe, who, iu conjunction with the Secre
tary of the Treasury, direot and superintend
the assesment and collection of the national
tax, and all details pertaining thereto. Mr.
Lincoln has selected for this responsible po
eition Ex Governor Boatwell,of Massachusetts.
This appointment will prove to have been an
eminently wise and proper one, bringing to
the work a mind and heart peculiarly fitted
to unravel and straighten the knotty and in
tricate questions which must inevitably arise
from the workings of the measure. We are
confident. ho will-give universal satisfaction.
GEN. BUTLER'S FAMOUS WOMEN 'ORDER
Gen. Butler hae written to a friend in Bos
ton, on the subject of the great ado made by
the traitor,press at the North, about his or•
dor relating to the traitor women of New Oi
lcans. lie concludes as follows :
Pray how do you trent a common woman
plying her vocal ion in the streets ? You pass
her by unheeded. She cannot insult you.—
As a gentleman, you oen and will take no no
tice of her. If she speaks her words are not
opprobrious. It is only when she becomes a
continuos ancrpositive nuisance that you call
a watchman and give her in charge to him.
But some of the northern editors seem to
think that whenever one meets such a wom
an one must stop her, talk with her, insult
her, or hold dalliance with .her, and so from
their conduct they construed my order.
The editor of the Boston Courier may so
deal with common women and out of the ,
abundundance of the heart his mouth may
speak—but so do not I
Irhy, these she-adders of New Orleans
themselves were at once shamed into propri
ety of conduct by- the order, and from that
day no woman has either insuliid or - annoyed
any live soldier or officer, and of a certainty
no soldier has insulted any woman.
Oen. Butler, as usual, hits the nail on the
head in this letter. Every editor or individ
ual who has construed this order 'to mean an
unlicensed dalliance with those New Orleans
. 4 ladies" declared to be " women of the town,"
speaks from such men's own feelings -and
show that they always seek familiarity with
those known to be women of the town.
AN ELOQUENT SILENCE. —The silence of the
State convention on the subject of Edgar
Cowan, the renegade Republican who misrep
resents; this State, in the U. B. Senate, in
contrast With the hvarly endorsement Of Da.

But poor Cowen, there were none so low lie to

lasted a few moments, and there were but

commander, thought he could frighten Col.
Lester into a surrender, and sent a flag of
truce saying that he had a force 6,000
strong, and that further resistance would be
madness„whereupon the colonel surrendered
at once. He is fairly charged by Dr. Butler
with inefficiency and cowardice, but a mem

of the the Union, publishes a card denying
the allegation, although he acknowledges
that a

Generat Asboth, Rolla; Mo.:
General—lL would seem from the report of
Major Waring to you (referred to these head
quarters) that, he had, in compliance with
your instructions, delivered to a Captain 1101-
land a fugitive in his camp, claimed by Cap
tain 11. as the property of his fat her in-law.
This is contrary to the intent of General
Order No. 3. The object of those orders is to
prevent any person in the army from acting
in the capacity of negro catcher or negro
stealer. Tho relation between the slave and
his master is not a matter to be determined
by military officers, except in the single case
provided for by Congress. This matter in all
other cases must be decided by the civil au
thorities.. One object. in keeping fugitive
slaves out of our camps is to keep clear of all
suck questions Masters or pretended man
tern .oust estub:ish the righ.s of property to
the uegroes as best they may, without our as
ststance or interference, except where the law
authorizes such interference.
Order No. 3 does not apply to the authdr
ized private servants of officers, nor to ne
gros employed by proper authority in camps :
it applies only to "fugitive slaves." The
prohibition to admit them within our lines
dues not prevent i the ex,rcise of all proper
offices of humanity, in giving them food and
clothing outsim, where ~meh offices are nee
eisary to prevent suffering. Very respect

Dear Colonel —Your's of the 4th instant, is
just received. Order No 3 was in my mind
clearly a military necessity.
Unauthorized persons, black or white, free
or slave, must be kept out of our camps un
less we are willing to publish to the enemy
everything we do or intend to do.
it was a military and not a political order
lam ready to carry out any lawful in
structions in regard to fugitive slaves which
my superiors may give me, and to enforc any
law which Congress may pass; but I cannot
make law, and will not violate it.
You know my private opinion on the policy

pass it, you may be certain I shall enforce it.

Enlistments in Pennsylvania.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington, July 28, 1862.
His Excellency, A. G. CURTIN,
Governor of Pennsylvania:
Sin:--I have been directed to advise you
that the system of enlisting recruits for nine
and twelve months, adopted in Pennsylvania;
has pro , iuced great dissatisfaction in other
S ates, which have confined themselves to en
listments for three years or the war.
This system, as you are aware, was adopt
ed without any intention on the part of your
Excellency or of the General Government to
make an unfair distinction between the States.
The War Department entertains an earnest
desire to act in entire harmony with the State
Governments, and a strong sense of the en!:
nest and efficient aid which it has always
promptly received from your Excellency ; and
it is only because the DeParimeat is fully
satisfied of the inexpediency of short enlist
monis ; the impossibility of exceeding the
system to other States, and the justice of the
complaints already adverted to, that a change
is proposed in Pennsylvania.
Hence the Secretary 'of War is compelled to
ask your Excellency to change your system
of recruiting and let your'regiments go to the
field on an, equality, in every respect, with
those from other States
The mustering officer will continue to mus•
i ter into service recruits enlisted for nine and
; twelve months, until the tenth day of August
next, at which time it. is supposed the change
suggested will have been completed.

THE NEW TAX. BILL.—We have fa

respondent in the lower end of the county:
Sporting Hill, July 28th, 1862.•
Mr. glitor.—We noticed in your last issue
the lute and new amendments to the tax
bill. There is one section tO which we find
serious objections. viz: "each bdy baby fifty
cents tax. Now sir, as Sporting Hill received
tk,fine young son last week, we feel ourselves
aggr.eved and are unwilling to-pay the tax;
and most earnestly Solicit the repeal of that
act, or its amendment so as to rend—"for
every boy baby a bounty of fifty dollars."
We assure you that such a law with meet the
approbation of every good loyal man, and
w•Anan, would be throwing strung induct_
meats, in the right direction, to raise buys—
with the exception of a few rebel sympa
thizers; who would probably raise girls.
Please ive us your opinion upon the sub_
ject in your next.
Respectfullyf yours
' We heartily agree with our corresponient r
and think that that section should be repeal
ed and his amendment. substituted. It
would occasion a general rising am mg the
