among those who are serving "with pay"
or ''without pay" Can C.. M Neal be the
agent of Fronenfed & Bro? This would
seem TO be the only remaining probability,
and there we leave his agency in this mys-
erious transaction.
This MIR. Neal is one of the City Commits
sioners, under pay of the City Treasury, for
for attending TO the City business and the
people have righ, 10 require his close at
tention TO his office. 1t is but little while
since he was absent for weeks from his
post, seeking al Washington, the place of
Navy Agent. He has a tendency towards
agencies. In this enterprise, he was warm
ly supported by his friend, the Governor,
who was understood 10 be in Washington
for this purpose when our brave soldiers
were wandering about the streets unarmed,
unclad, unfed, and without orders; and
when. at the same time, Governor Spargue
was marching through Philadelphia at the
head OF his comfortably clad ard fully
equipped Rhode Island troops, which he
was leading 10 the field of action. Neal
was not appointed Navy Agent, but he now
turns up sort of unclassiied Army Agent.
1t is, however, the bill he certified with
which we have TO do al present, and we
have done our duty in presenting it above
in the light of a strong contrast, and in call
ing attention 10 it as an example of what is
disclosed in the Governors message, and
as furnishing probable clue to the agen-
cies by which the soldiers of the State have
been supplied with the worthless garments
of which they so loudly complain.
Under the loan bill recently passed by
the Legislature, expenditures of similar
character TO those detailed by the Governor
are TO be made 10 the amount of al least
three millions of dollars. Are these also TO
be wasted in jobbery like their predecessors
And above all, are they TO be committed TO
the agencies already so grossly abused 3
In the name of the people and Of the de,
frauded soldiers. we protest against any
repetition OF such abuse e."-Phatdelphia In

Who are 10 do the Fighting +.

We are told that Gov. Curtin has appoint
ed Gen. Patterson, Gen. Cadwalader, Gen.
Hale and Col. Wyncocp, all Democrats, 10
responsible positions in the army, and this
is cited as reason why Democrats should
abandon their party Gov. Curtin knew
that the above named officers had seen SER
vice and were the best iactcians and com
manders in the State. He supposed, TOO,
that the prestige of their names would be
calculated 10 cause the rapid enlistment of
Democrats The Democracy were 10 do
the fighting, as they have always done be-
fore, and to draw them into the service it
was necessary 10 make Generals and Colo
nels OF some of their old leaders. For 2ru-
dental reasons. Gov. Curtin gives the
Democrats office where bullets are expect
ed 10 fly, but places his Republican friends
on the feather r-beds OF civil Offices al safe
distance from the enemy. We have refer
red 10 this matter only because the blood
and thunder organ across lots, urges ii as
reason why Democrats should give up their
organization - Bedford Gdzette.

NARROW EscAPE-If The occupation of
Alexandria had taken place an hour
earlier 400 rebel soldiers would have been
taken prisoners. They made their escape
by special train, which it appears from
what we can learn they had in waiting -
Nearly all the phases occupied BY the reb-
els as quarters are now filed with Federal
troops Union flags prevail in large num-
bers in the place OF the secession rag. ln-
telligence from Washington says that
reports of Conflict upon Fort Pickens are
almost hourly looked for, also an attack
between Richmond and the Capital. Should
a battle be fought near or al Richmond i,
will in all probabilities be hot contest
An attack at Harper's Ferry has been daily
looked for-it was supposed the govern
ment troops would endeavor 10 take pos
session o; that place ere this.

Democratic Doctrine.

For the benefit of those who have taken
special pains TO charge the Democracy
with treason and its concurrent crimes, we
place on re cord resolutions passed by their
authorized Representatives at State meet
ing, held in the city OF Harrisburg in Febru-
ary last We wish it clearly understood
that the Democracy OF the entire Common
wealth endorsed j, at the time, as the cor
rect doctrine. We would not at this. early
day place them upon record, had not the
Administration prints commenced their
work of Misrepresentation.
10 Tie pending struggle we are ready 10
sustain President Lincoln with as good
heart as if he was The man of our choice,
and hope him God speed in every effort to
redeem the honor and power OF our common
heritage zee suili sustain him yet, whenev-
er assaults are made upon the actions and
motives that influence political interests
exclusively, we will defend those principles
that in our Judgment are correct, aud in
their tendency favor our growth and pros
perity as a nation. Without further COM
Inent, we snbjoin The resolutions referred to:
Resolred, That the Government of the
United States atho lgh limited in its auihori-
l., TO tue subjects enumeraed in the Federal
Constitution, possesses within those limits
supreme authority and has the ussal and
necessary powers for preserving itself and
enforcing its laws.
Resolved, That the Union of the States
was founded by the wisdom of our patriotic
ancestors, is sanctioned by the experience
OF our whole political experience, and has
secured 10 us unexampled prosperity at
home and respect abroad. The Democratic
party will cling to il as the last prop of free
