A National Army.

We heartily hail the new movement of
Gen. Mcclellan in forming National Army
NOT an army 9 c'mposed Of State Regiments
but an army in each regiment of which eve-
ry loyal State may perhaps be represented.
We hail it as a step in advance in every
respect, and more especially as tending TO
make us less Confederation Ghd more
Nation. The founders OF our Government
did not make our national name indicative
of federation, but of a Union, and every
thing that tends to make US more Americans
and less citizens of petty Commonwealths,
is step in direction which dire ezperi
cnce MSS shown to be the right one.
Our State Governments were intended for
the administration Of local affairs, and such
purposes the answer, more or less well
But the obnozious dogma OF superior State
slIeg ;ance strikes at the yitals of our ma
tionality. and we see with the greatest salts
fiction every step that tends to make us one
great nation, rather than an assemblage Of
insignificant nation.

Grand Jury's Presentment Of the

To the Honorable, the Judges Of the Court of Ses-

tire.
AususT SESSION, A. D., 1861.
CENTRE COUNTY, SIS:
The Grand Inquest of
the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania inquiring in
and for the County of Centre, upon their respec-
tive oaths and afirmatons, do present the follow
ing facts to the Court:
There is certain newspaper, the Democratic
IFdtchman, edited by Cyrus I. Alexander and P.
G. Meek, of this county, which is in the practice
OF encouraging the rebels now in arms against the
Government, by expressing sympathy and agree
lnent with them, tbs duty of exceeding to their
demands, and dissatisfaction with the employ
ment Of force to overcome them. Said newspaper
is published in the Borough OF Bellefontc, in this
county.
The Grand Jury do not deem it necessary TN
der the instruction of the Court to go into long
recital of facts said publication being well known
to this community, but in accordance with the
dictates of conscience and the duty they owe to
their country, they beg le9ve, respectfully, to
make this presentment.

Court Week.

This has been Busy and exciting week
in sBelefonte. Our streets haYe been throrg-
ed by crowds of our friends frCr, the coun-
try, and our hotels and business places have
been perfect jam" On Monday after
noon everybody went to hear Judge Linn's
charge to the Grand Jury. The Judge de.
livered it and every union loving man pres
ent was highly pleased with the production
and in a few hours afserward it sold readily
in our streets at'fve cents copy. On Nom
day night q Union meeting was held in the
Court House, at which Wm H. Blair pre-
sided. Speeches we're made by Messrs
Hale. McAilister, Brown, Blair and St6ver
Resolutions, favorable to a union county
ticket were adopted On Tuesday night
the Democratic Convention assembled and
nominated their county ticket; their pro.
ceedings will be found in another column. -
TWAS reported through many parts of our
county that the much talked Of murder trial
would come of On Wednesday, and conse~
euently the crowd was immense. The trial
however, did not cime off /; But was postpon
ed until next Session. On Wednesday even
ing the Republicans held their Convention
and nominated their county ticket. Pro-
ceedings in another column. On Thursday
morning the disappointed Office seekers of
both parties. left town and consequently our
streets were almost deserted. The Grand
Jury was discharged on Thursday.
Our paper is Behind time this weeek. Cne
of our hands has been sick a portion of the
week, and our subscribers gave Us 50 little
encouragement, by way Of paying up, that
we cared but little whether the paper came
out or not. "Our friends" will have to do
with this number. of the paper, like we DO
when we ask them for money-wait until
they get it.

Real War about to Commence.

No one can read the accounts of the mas
terly reforms introduced by Gen. Mcclellan
in the ARMY, the thorough Reorganization,
the correction Of abuses, the close attention
to the comfort of the individual soldier with
out feeling that the real war has yet to begin.
The desperate nature Of the enterprise uo-
dertaken by the rebels Obliged them to see
to the efficiency Of every officer in whose
charge they put their men. we with sort
of blind confidence, thought we must con,
quef under any circumstances ; at least.
such is the only possible explanation for the
appointment Of many irresponsible hangers
on, to responsible commands.
Now ali is changed Politicians are hum
bled, and military merit recognized. We
have had our probation, and may now ex.
pect our triumph. It'must rot be forgot
ten, however, that the eneny has thrown
his whole strength into Virginia and Mis-
souri,, and that we must collect an army
large enough to ensure victory.

thetrain bound west. which had Gov Thomas
aboard, when about eight miles this side of
Cumberland, came suddenly on several cross
ties thrown across the track, and at the same
time number of armed men were seen rap
idly descending neighboring hill. The en-
gineer increased the speed Of the locomo-
tive, and succeeded in throwing the ties off
the track with but little damage to the en-
gine. Some federal scouts then fired into
the train, it is supposed by mistake, but
without doing any damage. The design Of
the secessionists was to take Gov. Thomas

The Presidents Proclamation

President Lincoln proclamation, forbiding'
cgmmercial Intercourse with the rebel states,
and declaring the forfeiture Of sll property
which is attempted to be passed, and of all
vessels belonging to rebel owners, is vigor-
Gus and timely exertion f executive author
ity. 1t is strong evidence that the Presi-
dent feels the necessity OF acting with the
utmost energy and decision. We trust that
the officers on whom tho. President relies to
enforce. tie non-intercou-se commanded in
the proclamation, will prove, by their vigi-
lance, activity and determination. that they
are fit for their places. And it is further to
be hoped that 20 more property sreh as the
President denounces will be chartered or
purchased BY the officers Of the government
as has been done for some time past here
against the earnest protest of loyal citizens.
