The War Message.

The Message of Governor Curtin 10 the
State Legislature, which assembled at
Harrisburg on last Tuesday, it is said takes
strong ground in favor of Pennsylvania
opening route from the North to Wash
ington as a necessity of trade and transit.
He entirely accords with the positions as
sumed by the President in his Proclama
nation, and declares that rebellion must
be crushed out and the Nation restored to
its entirety. He recommends an appro
priation OF S3,000,000 for military purpo
scs, and advises the establishment Of q
reserve camp of 10000 men, subject to
the call of the General Government. The
Governur also recommends STAY LAW.
psg- An old soldier, writing to the New
York Eventng Post, gives the following
timely hints to the volunteers who are now
fastening to the defence of the country:
/. Rember that in campaign more
men die from sickness than by the bullet.
2. Line your blanket with one thickness
of brown drilling This adds but four
ounces in weight, and doubles the warmth
3. Buy small India rubber blanket
(only 81 SOY to lay on the ground or tc
throw over your shoulders when on guard
duty during rain storm. Most of the
Eastern troops are provided with these
Straw to lie on is not always to be had.
A. The best military hat in use is the
light-colored soft felt; the crown being
sufficiently high to allow space for air over
the brain. You can fasten it up as a con-
tinental in fair weather, or turn it down
when it is wet or very sunny.
5, Let your beard grow, SO as to pro-
tect the throat and lungs.
6. Keep the entire person clean; thi:
prevents feyers and bowel complaints il
warm clima $. Wash your body each
day, if possible. Avoid strong coffee and
oily meats. Gen Scott said that the Toe
free use of these together with neglect il
keeping the skin clean) cost many q sol
dier his life in Mexico.

chilly or night air often causes fever and
death. When exposed do not forget youi

BLOOMSBURY has worn a war-like ap-
pearance, for the last ten days, and may
be compared to a Military Camp. n ar
tial music of the fife and drum and the
sturdy tramp of the soldiers feet, almost
constantly salute our ears and re-animate
the inherent spirit Of patriotism and mil
itary prowess. Every indication is for
War, and we are reminded Of "the Peril
Ous Tines" foretold by the Apostles and
Prophets,
Our patriotic young men Of Columbia
county, are raising two Companies of Vol
unteers, and expect soon to be called to
service by the Governor. Capt. W. W.
RICKETTS,, commands the "lron GuardS,'
and Capt, j. D. MELIcK, the "Columb in
AriaAeris,S" Lieut.. Col W. H. ENT, of
Maj Gen. Dana's Staff, is also on active
duty. They arc fine looking company
Of noble young men, and we fOndly trust,
should they be called into the battlefield,
will prove themselves worthy the proud
appallstion Of "Sons of Columbia"
Last Sabbath our Soldiers attended
Church twice in Bloomsburg. In the morn
ing Howers Cornet Band escorted them to
the Episcopal Church, where very ap-
propriate discourse was delivered by the
Rev. Mr.. RUSSELL. At 8 o'clock, they
attended the First Presbyterian Church,
and were eloquently addressed by the Rev.
Mr., WALLER, Overwhelming congrega-
tions attended beth Churches.
Daniel Webster once said, there are no

Meeting at NattaWlssa.

A LARGE and enthusiastic meeting of the
citizens of Cattawissa and vicinity, was
held at the Academy Building, ON Thurs
day evening, April 18th, 1861, to adopt
proper measures to meet the call Of our
Government for aid in sustaining the Con.
stitution and the Union.
The meeting was organized by appoint
ing Col. JOSEPH PAXTON President,
and JAMES S. McNINcH, Secretary.
After stating the object of the meeting,
the President appointed the following gen.
tlemen a Committee on Resolutions:
John Sharplcss, George Scott,
s, Mouroe. John X. Robbins,
Stephen Baldy, 5. b. Diemer,
b. p Former
The meeting was addressed by Rev.
John Lloyd and Mr. B. ?. Fortnor, when
the Committee reported the following kes-
oluions. which were unanimously ly adopted +:
/ WHEREAS, The President of the United
States has by Proclamation informed the
country that some of the States of this
Confederacy are in state Of insurrection,
and that the Forts and other property of
the Government have been taken, and
threats have been made by the insurgents
to march upon the Capitol of this country,
and the President has also by Proclama-
ton called upon the loyal States to furnish
troops to protect the Capitol and suppress
the insurrecton. Therefore
ResoIred, That we, citizens of Catta-
wi,sa and vicinity, will stand by the Gov
ernment in its endeavors to sustain the
Constitution and laws of the country.
Resoired, That we will endeavor to fur
nish all needful supplies to the families of
any of the citizens of Cattawissa and vi
cinity, that may volunteer in defence of
the rights of their country end the Star.
and Stripes SO dear to every true American
citizen.

Patriotism above rarty.

The most gratifying circumstance dis
played by the aroused feeling which has
begun to sweep like tornado over the
North, is the thorough fusion of all parties
in the general movement for the defence Of
the common country Mr.. LINcoLN's
election was as hotly contested by his op-
ponents in the Northern section of the
country AS in the Southern; and there
we're very manifest indications, after the
Inauguration, that his policy, in dec lining
to make any specific recommendations to
Congress, the adjournment o. that body
without meeting the difficulties of the time
and he effect of the distribution of execu
tive patronage, might lead to some disinte.
grafton of the party which had placed him
in power. But the operation Of these eau
ses is now suspended being absorbed in
the more momentous issues which have
been forced upon US, and the very men
who have violently opposed Mr.. LINCOLN
and the Republican party and platform,
are now found among the foremost in de.
fence Of the Government of which he is the
constitutional head. They regard the eg-
igency of the times as paramount to parti-
san distinctions. Hence our Democratic
fellow citizens are rallying enthusiastically
to the support of the Stars and Stripes -
Breckinridgers and Douglastes vie with
each other in patriotism The supposed
sympathy of the former with the South is
now seen to have been only regard for
whatever there was of plausiblity in the
clamors of the South, and not an indis
crimi ating justification of its hostile as
saults upon the integrity of the Union.-
Our national history shows that the Dem.
ocraic party has ever been war party
It's exhaustlcss masses have always sprang
to the ranks when battles were to be fought
and wen 1t was so in the war of 1912.
1t was so in the war with Mexico. Indeed
their supposed beligerent propcnstieS have
been, at times rather source Of trepida-
ton to placid and respectable elderly gen.
tlemen and ancient women. They would
now belle all their anteceden's and their
olden fame if they were backward in the
genera move mcnts. On the contrary, we
find them true TO their traditional impul-
ses, and enrolling themselves by the hun
dred among our volunteers In the Leg
islaturo, although the Democratic repre-
scutatves made one false step at the start,
they promptly tracked back, and subse
quently without an exception, Joined in
all the measures which we proposed for
the purpose of proclaming the loyalty of
Pennsylvania, and for responding prompt
ly and efficiently to the call of the Federal
Executive aud the declarations of fealty
which were, upon the spur Of the moment,
so extensively circulated in the community
received the signatures of the great body
of Democratic voters. 1t is gratifying to
find that whatever may have recently been
the internal condition of the Northern De-
mocracy, they ara, nevertheless in the hour
Of trial, sound at heart on the great ques-
ton of the maintenance of the Union and
strong Of arm in its defence.
