secessionist.
There is a growing disposition here and else
where, among a certain class of the community,
to denounce as secessionists all whose views with
regard to certain measures affecting the adminis
tration of the National Government, happen to
clash with theirs. On this subject, we have a
few calm and dispassionate words to say, and in
doing so, we shall speak as a freeman ; as one
who fully comprehends his rights as a man and
as an American citizou. We regard the right of
fearlessly expressing our views with regard to all
measure s of a character calculated to affect oui
country cither f r weal or woe, as among the
roost invaluable of the rights guarantied us Ly
the Constitution. The right of free discussion, is
a home-bred right, a fireside privilege, and is
therefore justly dear to every American who
properly appreciates those free institutions, which
have made ours the freest as will as the most
prosperous nation on the face of the gbil-e. We
know that it is not fashionable among those who
are in the habit of denouncing as secessionists all
whose views with regard to public men and mea
sures happen to differ from theirs, to regard with
feelings of reverence the Constitute :i of their
country, but we hope they will not feel wrathful
when we remind them, that the following is the
concluding portion of the first article of the
amendments to that sacred instrument: "Con
gress shall make no law abridging the freedom of
4 eech, or of the press, or the right of the lcople
peaceably to assemble and to petition the govern
ment for a redress of their grievances." For our
part we can say, that the rights which this clause
of the Constitution was intended to protect, we
will never voluntarily resign We know their
value, and will always, we trust, have sense and
spirit enough to defend them. We were born a
freeman we are unwilling to become a slave
and he is a slave indeed, who dare not feai l ssly
express his honest thoughts and opinions, with
regard to the wisdom of all public measures, and
the policy pursued by those who administer the
government.
It is an easy thing, at the present time, to
charge a man with being a secessionist ; but it is
a serious charge, and one which no honorable and
high minded man would make, without having
evidence to sustain it. Accordingly we find only
the meanest men in the community .setting them
selves up as immaculate patriots, and pointing
the finger of suspicion at their neighbors. Some
of the brave heroes, who were the first to volun
teer for bunkum, and the first to back out when
the order was given to shoulder arms and march
to the buttle field, are now the loudest in de
nouncing as secessionists, Democrats whose sons,
brothers and nearest and dearest relatives are, or
have been, in the war, offering their bosoms to
the shafts of battle in defence f the Union and
the Constitution. Cowards are alwa3's immigrants.
A brave man never stoops so low as to wantonly
assail the character of his neighbor.
On what grounds is the charge of being se
cessionists, which is made against certain men in
our community, based ? We have heard them
talk in public ; we have talked to them p.rivatelv
and confidentially, and we know that there is
not an emotion of their minds, or a pulsation of
their hearts that is not true to the Union, the
Constitution and the Laws. Then why do cer
tain men openly charge, or covertly hint and in
sinuate, that they are secessionists ? This is a
question easily asked, and can be just as easily
answered. 15ecau.se they denounce, on all occa
sions, the doctrines of political Abolitionism, and
contend that our government has no right to
change this from a war for the Union, into a
fierce crusade against the institution of slavery in
the Southern States, and because they condemn
certain unconstitutional act of President Lincoln,
and will not admit that it is a doctrine of our
government that he can do no wrong. Some of
them 1 e'ieve that our national difficulties could
be adjusted by an honorable compromise between
the Northern and Southern States, and that it is
not too late to ur n ';..rgrf 8 the wisdom and
necessity of adopting some measure of the kind.
The' are doubtless honest in thinking so; far more
so than were Horace Greely and his myrmidons,
when, in the hope of successfully inaugurating
their war for the extermination of slavery, they
precipitated the unfortunate assault on the reb
els' works at Bull Run, which resulted in the dis
astrous defeat of our army. They advocate a
compromise, not because they are secessionists,
but because they are friends of the Union, and
because they believe the adoption of such a mea
sure would restore the Union to us as it was in
the days of Washington an1 Jefferson. Some of
them even go so far as to advocate peace. In
this it may le that they err. This is a point we
will not undertake to decide ; but we can confi
dently say that they err on the side of safety.
At the commencement of this " fight for the
Union,"
' When wild war's deadly blast was blawn"
who were the patriots who flocked to arms?
The American Democracy ; the men who sup
ported either Breckinridge or Douglas for the
Presidency last fall; they were the men w ho came
forward to stand like a wall of fire, "between our
loved homes and the war's desolation," while the
abolition demagogues of the Iloraco Greely school
(and in the category, we do not include respec
table and patriotic member." of the Republican
party,) sneaked back to their dens like whipped
curs. There was then no fight in them. The
Democracy were welcome to do the fightiug. but
they, the aforesaid abolitionists, who remained
snugly at home.rcserved to themselves the uncon
trovertible right to denounce as secessionists, all
who elared to maintain that this shoukl be a war
for the Union, and not a crusade against slavery.
When Lincoln firit openly assailed the Consti
tution by suspending the privilege of the writ of
habeas corpus, the true friends of the Union felt
it to be their duty to protest against this act of
unheard of usurpation ; and although thereby,
they testified their devotion and love for the Con
stitution, they were denounced as secessionists,
for so doing ; they were threatened with lynch
law and mob violence, merely for defending the
constitution with the maul boldness of free men.
When Lincoln in open violation of the provision
of the constitution which declares, that '-The
right cf the people to be secure in their persons,
houses jHijcrs, and effects, yg.iiust unrersonable
searches and seizures shall nut be violated" seiz
ed, read and examined, jrira'e p ipers, contain
ing 2rica!e telegraphic dispatches, (the only re
sult of which, by the way, was to prove, that
his pet and favorite Harvey, whom he had ;ip
pointed minister to Portugal, was a traitor who
had given aid and comfort to the lebcls.) all who
publicly protested against the act, were again
denounced as secessionists, worthy to swing at
the end of a rope, fixed to a lamp post. Does
this look as if the men who now claim to lead
the Administration party in the Northern States
are, or were, friends of the fieedom of speech, er
lovers of the constitution of their country.
We have already said, in effect, that it was
Democratic soldiers who, at the commencement
of this war the hideous offspring of the Unhal
lowed embrace of Southern treason and Northern
fanaticism rushed to arms and saved Wasiiing
ington ci'y from the grasp of the Southern tr.ii
tors. And who were the generals who comman
ded those gallant volunteers ? Wecan confidently
answer ; they were nearly all Democrats ; aye,
and Breckinridge Dt m crats, too. We need only
instance the names of Butler, Patterson, Cadwal
lader and Dix. We- think we might add the name
of McClellan, but on this point we are not certain.
In speaking of them in connection with the po
sition they occupied in the contest for the Presi
dency last year, we do ::-t wi.,h to be understood
as making a fling at thoe of our party who stood
by Judge Douglas in that campaign. We know
that they are as pure patriots, and as true to the
Constitution as we are Theie is scarcely a
Douglas paper in the Union that has nl denoun
ced Lincoln's assaults on the Constitution, in
stronger language than was ever used in the
Dcmcnat and Kittiucl. If 'hat illustrious states
man, Stephen A. Douglas, were still living, we
are confident he would be found standing by the
landmarks of the Constitution, and wouid not
have been am. ng those who clapped Abraham
Lincoln on the baik. and cried ' well done "
i while he was tramp ing on the groat charter of
I American Liberty. And what has been the re
, ward meted out to the Democracy for their
patriotism ? by denunciations a becc-ssionists,
from the lips f every -rant, brawling, fanati
cal and c:wai,"y abolitionist in the land.
There are no mer. in the country so anxious
for the preservation of the Union as the Demoe
cy. And it is natural that this should be the
case. They have always Ken Union men, and
never like Lincoln anj his mo.-t prominent pc
litical advisors, ;ave aid and comfort to the ene
my in the time of war. They are ready to make
any and every legitimate and patriotic sacrifice
that can be asked, to sustain the Government,
and to crush out the Southern rebellion ; but they
cannot as sincere lovers of their country, help
beholding with feelings of alarm and indignation,
the efforts of a portion of the Republican party
to fetter the press, and to crush . ut the right cf
free discussion, the e.pc-n assaults of Abraham
Lincoln on the Constitution, u.iJ the obvious
ten leno- of the policy he has an.-pteel, to destroy
the sovereignty of the States and to establish on
the ruins of the Republic, a cous lidated tle.-pot-ism.
If all who sound the note of alarm, and
warn the people of the impending dangci are
secessionist, so be it. Il to do so be treason,
make the most of it.
Why should we not all, whether Democrats or
Republicans, love the Union and the Constitu
tion 1 They have, in the words of Daniel Web
ster, been to us all, a copious fountain of social,
personal, and national happiness. Let us guard
ml protect them with jealous and unsleenin"
care. Let us not, while endeavoring to conquer
the seeded States, allow ourselves to be robbed
of our birthright. Let us not Use the substance
while grasping at the shadow. The price of
Liberty is t-tern 1 vigilance, and especially at a
crisis hke this, does it I ehoove every freeman to
be vigilant. If we allow ourselves to be lulled to
sleep in the lap of fancied security, we may soon
wake to find ourselves slaves. To all true patri
ots, who may now or hereafter find themselves
maligned by ignorant Abolition fanatics, we Wo'd
say,
" Be just and fear not ;
Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's
Thy God's, and truth'." '
War .civs.
The news from the seat of War, si ace the bat
tle of Bull's Run, or Manassas, has been rather
unimportant. Gen. Scott and the War Depart
ment have been actively engaged in concentrating
fresh trexqis at and near the Capitol. General
McClellan has been equally active in seeing that
proper discipline is enforced, the men properly
drilled Sec. We do not think an advance move
ment will again be undertaken with an army of
less than 150,000 well drilled men. But slight
if any fer.rs are entertained of an attack on the
Capitol by Geu. Beauregard. It w highly proba
ble he is on! too glad to bo permitted to remain
where he is. Gen. McDowell has at last publish
ed an official account of the battle at Manassas,
lie estimaccs our loss in killed as follows : offic
ers, 19; non commissioned e fficers and privates,
402; total killed, 481. Wounded officers, C4 ;
non-commissioned officers and privates, 947 ; to
tal wounded, 1011 Total loss in killed and
wounded 1492; miss'mg, roughly estimated at
121(5. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded
is supposed to have leen about 2000.
The town of Hampton, in Virginia, near Fort
If on roe, was destroyed by the secessionists, on
the night of the 7th inst. It consisted of 500
houses. The buildings l-eing nearly all construc
ted of wood, and the weather being dry, were
soon in flames, and the town was soon in ashes.
This, on a small scale, is a parallel to the firing
of Moscow, by the Russians, when taken by Na
poleon Bonaparte. It is said that the object of
the secessionists in destroying the town, was to
prevent it from b'-ing used by cm troops for win
ter quarters. The enemy also, it is said, wished
to draw our tnx-ps into an attack on Camp Ham- j
iltou, belonging to the secessionists, or Newport
News, also in their possession. The destruction
of property was very great.
d?"" The resolutions adopted by the Republi
can County Convention, as published in this pa
per last week, no not exactly tally with those
in the .Uh'ghanitii. In order that equal and ex
act justice may be done to all, we publ:sh those
published by our neighbor, although ire know
that the- were not rea l and adopted in the Con
vention. They were prepared by a committee
after the Convention adjourned. The resolutions
we published were a truthful exiositi n of the
views of Horace Greely. Andrew G. Curtin, Si
mon Cameron, and the other prominent politicians
f the Republican party. There is no nse in a
few e'Utside politicians after a Convention has ad
j .urned, in getting up resolutions which keep the
word "f promise to the ear, and break it to the
hope. Gentlemen, while you endorse the X. Y.
Tribune as your political bible, there is no use in
tellinz us that you are not disciples of Horace
Greely. If 3-011 could not conscientious!- endorse
the rdininistration of A. G. Curtin.if you Inlieved
it to be corrupt and imbecile', why had you not I
manhood enough to say So ? Out upon this two

Flag'-raislnpr In nri-oKf own.
A large and beautiful flag the standard sheet
of our country was raised by the patriotic citi
zens e.f Carrolltown and Carroll tow nship, on last
Saturday. The flag was made by the ladies of
Carrolltown, and was alike creditable to their pat
riotism, skill, nn-1 good taste. As the glorious
Star Spangled banner floated to the breeze, cheer
alter cheer rent the air. A meeting was then
organized, and eloquent and patriotic addresses
delivered by Gen. Joseph McDonald, R. L.
Johnston, Ilsq., G-l. M. I). Mage-ban, F.S. Noon,
Esq., and A. A. Barker, Esq. The people of
Carrolltown and Carroll township are all tlevot
edly attached to the Union and the Constitution,
and ready to make any sacrifice to maintain them
as they were transmitted to us by the patriots
and saes of the revolution. Let us all re-echo
the cheers which they gave for the time-honored
Flag ef our Country n last Saturday,
Flag of the fiee. heart's hope and home,
By angel hands, to valor given.
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome.
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes t": c f -e but falls before us,
With ficcMom's s-:l leneatli our feet,
And freedom's banuers waving o'er us!"
As we were not present on the occasion, we are
unable to publish a more extended notice, or give
the list of officers.
Gcj- Trincc Napoleon, of France, son of Jerome
Bouaparte, a brother of the great Napoleon, and
cousin of the present Emperor, is now traveling in
this country. There are those who, suspect that
his recent visit to Washington, and the expedi
tion to the enemy's army at Manassas, was for
the purpose of obtaining information with regard
fo the i eal state of affairs, which might prove
useful to the Emperer of France hereafter. We
think there are grounds for entertaining such a
suspicion.

Liberty that Jefferson Lowe was recently bitten

LETTER rROM THE CA31IJRI.4
GUARD.
Camp Tesxalit, D. C. August, 10, 1801.
Friend Murray. The 11th regiment received
orders to leave their camp above Washington on
Monday morning at 4 o'clock, but owing to the
delay of our baggage vagons we elid not get
started until 6 o'clock. The icgiment marched
to the White House and after a delay e-f two
hours, the Colonel received emlers to inarch six
miles North of the city by way of the George
town road. One of Gen. M "Call's aids met the
regiment about five miles above Washington, and
gave us the privilege of encamping in a stubble
field where we have any amount of sunshine.
On Tuesday the Paymaster came into camp and
paid off the companies from the time they went
into Camp Wright, up to the 221 day of July.
On Wednesday the alarm was bcat-.m at 3 o'clock
A M. and the different com pauies ordered out to
the parade ground' where the Teg:ment was fi.r-
med into line ; after waiting until 0 o'clock the
men were ordered back to quarters with instruc
tions to be ready to march at the beating of the
drum. The alarm, it is said was caused by the
enemy reconnoiteriug in the neighborhood of the
chain bridge. On Thursday the alarm was beat
the same time as on Wednesday, and for the
same cause afler remaining in ranks until day
light, General M'Call gave us permission to
return to our tents, but on no account to leave
the camp. It is very annoying to be called out
fer nothing , but t ap.pears to be one e.f the
privileges appertaining to soldierinr. Compan
ies A. & C, marched to the headquarters of Gen.
M'Call this morning, anl exchanged their old
guns for rilled minic muskets, of the most impro
ved pattern. The regiment is now making
preparations for going on picket guard, and in
the next letter of your regular correspondent you
will get the full particulars of our first experi
ence iu that line o duty. S.
P.S. I had intended to give you a descrip
tion of our camp and surrounding country, but
the orders to go on picket guard ca:n very un
expected, so I will have to forgoe that pleasure.

Rail Roak Ac ii-ent. On Thursday morn
ing last, the Kxj r-ss Passenger Train Wot, coin
pog-.'d of two engines and eleven cars, met with
a serious accident at the switch imme-diately be-
low jianayuiiK nan n, in .Miiiiiii county, oy
w'ncli one man w.is k;bel an l several slightly
injured, and three eng'nes and several cars com-
plete-ly wrecked. It appears that a.i Fast ward
bound freight train, the engine e-f which had In
come disabled, was standing on the main track,
above the switch, an 1 the switch tender, in or
der to h t the passenger train pass without hind
rance, ttrnel the switch to let it run from the
main track t the sid.
arid pi ace. 1 signal
caps i!) the rail U-h.w the switch to caution the
engineer to run slowly ; but the signals were too
dose t the switch anl the engineer had not
time to shock up the heavy train. The cnse-
qiu-nco was that the first engine jumped the
track wh )n it struck the switch, and the second
engine and train kepi the main track until they
came in collison with the disabled engine, when
the second engine was thrown over the siding and
down an embankment oomc twenty feet. The
front cars were considerably wrecked. The per
son who was killed was stand'ng on one of the
platforms, and, in attempting to jump otf struck
the embankment and rolled bark under the cars.
Had he been inside, in all probability, he would
not have leon hurt. .P'ooht Tribune.

WAR NEWS. AND OTHER ITEMS.
IloLLi, Mo., August Mr Dulden,
stage proprietor, from Spriugfield on Monday
morning, furnished the following items ;
Gen. Lyon with his forces, has fallen back
on Springfield, having reached there on Mon
day morning, and was preparing for a vigor
ous defence. Tbe rebels were advancing by
four different roads, aud their advance was
found to be from tcn to fifteen miles distant.
Gen Lyon had called on twenty five hun
dred home guards from the country around
Springfield. It was expected the enemy
would make an immediate attack, from the
fact that their commissariat was in a misera
ble condition, they being obliged to depend
upon forced contributions for temporary sup
plies. It was generally remarked iu Spring
field that General Lyon was perfectly confi
dent of success in case of an attack lit had
no entrenchments, but would depend on his
splendid artillery in the open field. Fifty
wagons loaded with provisions had reached
him.
d?Charles Zernburger, formerly a clothing
merchant in this place, is a Lieut , iu the 1st
Minnessota regiment, which was engaged in
the thickest of the fight at the battle at Bull's

cannon ball, which struck the earth at his
feet, pitched him forward a distance of twen
