Dispatch, containing in its Telegraphic columns |
an account of battle in Missouri and the death |
of Gen. Lyon. was received. We were not |
in the Office at the time, but it at once struck |
the publisher, who was making up the mails,
that it would be a good idea to have the news
struck or separate slip. and placed in the pa
pers of the Northern and North Eastern portion
of this County. Many of our subscribers in that
portion of the Comfy seldom see daily paper
and rely on us to keep them posted with regard
to the news. The news in the Dispatch GER
tainly important. and onr Northern subscribers
had as good right to know it as the citizens of
Ebensburg, where the Pittsburgh dailies are ca
gerly purchased and perused as soon as they ar
rive every day. The idea vas no sooner entertain
ed than carried INTO execution. The following
" Extra' was accordingly prepared, printed and
placed in all the papers belonging to the north
and Eorth eastern mail.
ST. LOUIS, August Rumors are cur
rent on the street, on which some reliance is
placed, that Gen. Lyons command has been
totally routed Gen. Lyon killed and General
Sigel in full retreat with the remnant of the
Federal troops. This information is said to
have been received by the Secessionists last
eNeuluR. ue sDtsS0upeT VINO DTOuRnC the
news is said to have killed four horses between
Springfield and Rolla, in his haste to outstrip
the Government messenger. It is also re-
ported that Gen Fremont received dispatches
about midnight corrobo-ating the above but
their contents have not been divulged Great
anxiety is felt by the Union men here, and
most serious apprehensions INDUCED N for
the safety of our army. The arrival of the
train tonight will probably bring something
eliable.
! The above intelligence we clip from the
Pittsburgh Dispatch of to-day. Q4th). We

/ true.-ED
! Now we think he must have optics sharp in
/ deed, who discover that there Is anything
reasonable in the above. The news is an ex-
act copy of the Telegram contained in the Dis
patch, republican paper. of last Wednesday
morning. Imagine then our surprise coming
down street in the evening" to learn that treason
able extra slips had been printed in the Democrat
s. Sentinel office, and that uncontrovertible evi-
dence had been obtained TO prove that Charley
Murray, its editor, is, was, always has been, and
. always will be, a secessionist. Now, the truth
is we knew nothing about the slip until after it
! was printed, although if we had been present at
the time, would have said, 90 all rght.'' The
small beer abolition politicians of our borough,
were in great tribula ton and anguish of spirit
during the entire evening" and the denunciations
heaped on our head, if not deep, were certainly
very lOud-and all because dared-yes dared,
(whither has the liberty of the press fed) pub
lish the news of the day for the information of
our subscribers Is not that what we are paid
for? All this bowling of course attracted atten-
ton, and quiet, common sense citizens, began to
ask what it was all about. The slip was produ-
ced and read And what was the fesult2 Why
even the patriotic and intelligent republican cit
| izen of this place, and free to admit, that
large majority Of the republicans of Dor
Ough are patriotic and intelligent, declared that
the slip seemed to be very harmless affair,
which smet of neither treason or secessionism.-
We may say here, that not one of the howlers,
are subscribers to this paper. One or two of
them pretend to be Democrats, yes, they pre-
tend-they pretend. They are mheart, and soul,
| abotionists.
Now we have few plain words, in plain COM
mon Saxon to say to those bowling Deryishes-
wherefore we beseech you to hear us patiently
Who you and who made you the censors Of
this or any other paper? Did you ever peruse
the Constitution of your country? If you did
we are certain You were too ignorant to under
stand it. There is but one shrine at which you
worship, and that is the shrine of abolitionism.
All who will not bow at the same shrine with
you are traitors and seceSS ionists. According to
your theory. Washington and jefferson, were
first class aitors because they were slave hold
crs, and slavery told through your ultra
H.
of you we think, honestly believe, that every
man who is Democrat. is traitor or secess-
| ionist- The rest of you who have assailed us in
this matter are actuated by low and dirty malice,
in bearing g false witness against your neghbor.
We at loss to account for the malignity
with whicn we have been assailed recently. We
have however the consolation of knowing, that
no high minded and honorable man was enga-
ged in the work. The leaders of the republican
party in this place had nothing to do with this
dirty piece of business. They are gentlemen,
and we respect them as such. With respect to
the few fanatical and malicious individuals who
thus wantonly assailed us, v have only to say,
that we entertain no unkind feelings towards
them, but that on tic contrary, we pity and for
give them
SO Pardon is for men,
And not for reptilcs-we have none for them
And no resentment; things Ike them must sting
And higher beings suffer tits the charter
Of life. The man who dies by the adder's fang,
May have the crawler crush'd but feels no anger
Twas the worms nature; and some men are tcormS
IN soul, more than the living things of tombs.
