GEN. PATTERSON S PROCLAMATION. - Gen
Patterson, commander of the military depart
ment of Pennsylvania, has issued the following
address to the soldiers under his command, now
moving southwark from Chambersburg 1t
agrees substantially with those which Gen.
Butler and Gen. McCleland issued when they
advanced into the enemys country"
To the United States troops Of this Depart
ment. The restraint which has necessarily
been imposed upon you, impatient to overcome
those who have raised their patrcidal hands
against our country, is about to be removed.
Y ou will soon meet the insurgents.
\ Ou are not the aggressors A turbulent
faction misled by ambitious rulers in time Of
profound peace and national prosperity, have
occupied your forts and turned the guns against
you; have seized your arsenals and armories,
and appropriated to themselves Government
supplies have arrested and held prisoners your
companions marching to their homes under
State pledge of security, and have captured
vessels and provisions voluntarily assured by
State legislation from molestaton and now
seek to perpetuate reign of terror over loyal
citizens.
They have invaded a loyal State and en-
trenched themselves within its boundaries in
defiance Of its constituted authorities.
You are going on American soil to sustain
the civil power, to relieve the oppressed, and
to retake that which is unlawfuy held.
You must bear in mind you are going for
the good of the whole country, and that while
it is your duty to punish sedition, you must
protect the loyal, and, should the occasion offer,
at once suppress servile insurrection.
Success will crown your efforts grateful
country and happy people will reward you.
BY order of MAJ. GEN. PATTERSON.

If the Union men OF the South-we mean such
as are Union men so far as they are men at all
are ready to prove their faith BY their works,
we say, Let the ball be opened II they are
not, what is the use If the millions, even at
the South, who prefer republican, representative
institutions, whereby freedom of discussion and
action is maintained choose to succumb without
a struggle to 80 gross usurpsfion as that OF
the JEFF. Davis oEgarchy, why should the Free
States pour out their treasure and blood to rescue
them It is perfectly idle to talk of subduing
even half the people of seven States if the other
half dumbly, abjecty submit to whatever e1-
actions the dominant power shall see fit to inn
pose. The only object Of holding even the Fed
eral forts in the reyolted States is either to use
them as Custom Houses or to make them q
nucleus around which the loyalty of those States
may crystaze and take form so as to render it
a power. The use Of forts to put down rebel
lion is inherent in all governments; its use to
hold State permanently in the Union, in def
ance of the will of her people, is not to be
thought of. If ever the law OF grayltatl0n shall
loose its hold on the universe, it will be vain to
expect steam power to replace it.
Nessrs Unionists of the Gulf States every
body is calling on the Administration to show its

alive in your case as in that of the Government.
If you are content simply to wish return OF
the acknowledged supremacy Of the Federal Con-
stitutOn, without striking manly blow in its
behalf we tell you that what you desire can
never be-that " reconstruction" is an empty
dream. The Free States will not attempt to
subugate even the Gulf States and hold them in
yassaage for that neither can nor should be
DONE If, then, you really want the rightful au
thority of the Federal Government indicated

FEARS TO TESTIFY.

There was great excitement in the city offices
Yesterday afternoon, in consequence OF the arrest
and imprisonment of Mr.. George MOungoy for
refusing to answer a question put to him by tho
Grand Jury of the Oyer and Term:ner. Tho
rumors that Mountjoy has or has had In his Gus
tody large sum Of money paid as bride for
the confirmation of the STRENGTHENING contract,
doubtless led to the attempted examination But
the Grand Jury were stopped at the outset oy
the fiat refusal of the witness to answer. Inc
foreman of the jury then applied to the Judge,
who told Mountjoy that be must answer and di.
rected the foreman (James G. KiDg) to rePeas
the question, which was: "from whom, IL any
Z" one, during the last three years, have you re-
"ceiyed money for the purpose of influencing ac-
" ton upon matters pending before the Common
Council 2" Mr.. MOuntiOy again refused to
answer, and was forthwith committed to prison.
The reason given for the refusal was that to
answer would degrade him in the eyes of tho
community. The law applicable to the case inn
poses thirty days imprisonment or $3.50 tine.
This is the first direct attempt in legal form
to reach the system of bribery which is generally
believed to prevail in the City Hail. and the result
cannot but confirm the public in the opinion thai
even the worst stories are true. Mounuoy could
not refuse on his own account; for the law ex-
pressly provides that testimony before Grand
Jury shall not be used to the prejudice of a wit
ness. Hesis yictim-appareDtly, willing one
to shield others. AS Grand Jures are limited.
by practice if not by law, to inquiries tending
directly to prosecutions, we can hardly expect
that this attempt to unyail the secrets of the
Ring will succeed but if the right sort of q
Committee shall be appointed under the resolu-
ton of the State Senate, there will be revela-
tons in their report that will astound the peo-
pie. And, by the way, if the present Jury can
no. do better, let them put one of their own
number on the stand fo- if rumor is so well
aimed in the case of the STRENGTHENING contract,
perhaps it is not SO very wide OF the mark IN
the matter of ferries, docks, and railroads.

Gen. JAMES NJ. Cook has resigned the ofhce
of Bank Superintendent of our State, which no
has flied for seven years past with signal abill-
ty, and Gov. Morgan has nominated HENRY H.
VAN DYCK, now Superintendent of Public In
struction, to replace him. Gen. Cooks letter OF
resignation is as follows:

To Cor. T. D. Morgan, Albany
DEAR Sir: Having for consecutive years held STATE
Offices the Of which almost undivided attention has
been given compelled during that long period oil

interests therefore resign the Office of Superintendent OF the
Banking Department Of this State to take effect on the h oil

1t seems odd that so important resignation
should have been kept quiet for more than
fortnight, and some are asserting that determ-
nation to supersede caused the resignation.

intendent of Public Instruction with great ad-
vantage to the public. His removal from it viii

and destroyed all vessels they

good luck, would they regain port
enter no foreign hsrbOr, because there, % Vel
as at sea, the world would count them pirahs,
and hunt them down as such. Men rash enough
to enter ships with no other warrant than com
mission TO sink, burn and destroy Northern YES
sells, granted by Southern Confederacy not rec
ognized by any nation, would find themselves in
great danger of being hanged. This dodge wOn't
answer-the slave-trade is infinitely safer.
So much by way of mere prevention. But who
can measure the extent of that retaliation which
such an outrage would precipitate upon the South
If she thinks she has no harbors into which our
sauadrons could enter and make reprisals, she la
bors under grievous error. Only twelve days al
ter the declaration of war against England, Massa-
chusetts had her privateers at sea, and in ninety
days Now-York alone had twenty-si1, carrying
2l2 guns and 1900 men. Where one was fitted
out then. dozen could be had now. These ships
would lay every So ithern city in ashes' unless
defended as Charleston is. No Southern ship
dare venture to sea, and where in port without
defense. she would be cut out or destroyed. The
vast unprotected coast would be ravaged by par
ties landing wherever they thought proper, who
would burn, destroy, and carry of property Of
every description, negroes especially. The South
would be utterly helpless to prevent these raids
Prvateering against Northern shipping would be
the last outrage needed to wake up the Northern
lion from his present attitude of repose. A
thousand John Browns would start up into o ter
ribls activity, and carry vengeance and emanci-
patton to the very center of the slaveholdug re-
gions. We can imagine few things so surely cali
culated to bring swift, complete and universal
destruction on the heads of those who imagine
it. This dodge will not answer.

CONNECTICUT, while about trebling her Repub-
lican majority for Governor last Spring, electing
her whole Republican State Ticket, with three
fifths of each branch of her new Legislature, has
allowed two of her late Republican Members OF
Congress to be beaten as candidates for reelec-
ton. In the case of John Woodruff, In the
New.Haven District, this could not have been
helped, as the District is Pro-Slavery, aud so
voted not only last Spring but two years ago,
when Mr. Woodruff was carried by his personal
popularity. In the Fairfield District, however, the
loss of Mr.. Orris S. Ferry by a handful of votes
is a needless disaster. The Republicans might
have carried it by five hundred majority; but one
thousand of them staid at home, because of the
cold and storm, and allowed their excellent re-
preventative to be beaten by handful of votes
as he was four years ago. Mr.. Woodruff was
then beaten also.
