Upon what does the Restoration of the
Union Depend?

Upon the future of northern politics.
There must be party at the North capa
ble Of maintaining the constitutional rights
of the loyal States Of the South, after the
war, before reunion can be effected. The
New York World, speaking of the matter
admits this. Referring to the movements
for a Democratic and conservative organs
zation, the World, while opposing them,
admits:
UnconsciousIy party such as they
propose to organize viii help to establish
political relations between the North and
South. \ common government, CONNER
cial intercourse, the periodical press, reHg
ious organizations aud the Ike, will all be
bonds Of union; bat unless there is a par
tv fellowship between the Northern and
Southern States there will be a link want
ing to the perfect running Of the govern
ment machine"
The New York Post uIrra Republican,
contains letter from Europe stating that
the governments abroad await the results
ofthe Southern campaign, with little belief
in their decisiveness, and after them, the
fall elections, before they will consider the
necessity Of Intervention.
The Louisville Democrat indicates how
eagerly Southern Union men are watching
the shifting of Northern politics.
Restoration and peace will depend up
on the North" it says, hence We look
with deep interest to the parties formed
there. If the party that may prove dom
inant there shall errbody tie sectional pnr,
poses Of the Abolitionists-if we are to
have the an:i>slavery creed the law Of tie
next Congress-we still have years oftrou.
L!e and expense"
let not the patriotic people Of the North
lose sightof their responsibility in this cri-
sis.

A Bold Scoundrel.

The LaSalle Press details the move
ments of scoundrel calling himself
Green. who on the 10Th ult., hiring a
buggy in Arlington and driving out two
and half miles into the country, persuad-
ed girl of thirteen to accompany him,
by asserting that her mother was sick and
had sent him for her On the way to Ar
lington he outraged her, and then left her
on the outskirts of the village. Next day
he enlisted. and with the pretense that
he could secure several recruits from the
country, was furnished with 6 horse and
buggy, a man accompanying him. He
pressed man named Swan, who after
wards escaped. Finding that police were
in pursuit, he proceeded to the house of
Mr.. Conway on the bluff, and in the name
Of the United States demanded that he
Conway should furnish him with horse
and saddle and accompany him with an
other. to which Conway tbeing a law
abiding citizenj assented. In a similar
man1er he pressed" twelve or fifteen
farmers in the neighborhood, and proceed
ell to the house of Swan, and also to that
| Of his father under cover of night, and
also stationing his ''pickets" outside, pro-
! eeeded to search the premises from cellar
TO garret. Not finding the object of his
| persuit, he marched his forces on the
peaceful village of Toniea. whose unsus-
pecting citizens were quietly wrapped in
the arms of Morpheus. Without stop
ping to proclaim the place under martial
law, he posted his ''pickets" at all the
/ avenues TO the town, with instructions to
mot let man pass alive and proceed
ed to examine the hotel, searching high
and low for kis coaScTipt. The time hav-
ing arrived for the train going south, he
stationed the remainder of his forces"
not already engaged, as ''outsiders'' on
the platform and adjacent, while he
searched the train; and he is searching
the train yet At all events, he left on
the train, and a fruitless search has been
made for him by the officers of Bureau

equal will be produced in the annals of

Public Opinion on the War.

The war is working great changes IN
public sentiment As an example we
give the following extract from a private
letter, published by the Norfolk tVa.l
Union, from distinguished Judge who
has always been Democrat:
This is no longer war to restore the
Union as it was. 1t is a war to make the
Union what it never was, but what II
ought to be. would not make war &c
end slavery, but slavery having made the
war, / would put down the rebellion. and
if slavery falls, as fail it must, let it fall
The great bloody monster will die hard
and in his death struggle he will devouI
whole armies of devoted men.
The struggle is far from over yet
slavery is the most cementing power that
eyer existed on this continent. The
firmest bond of union, its enchantment
is of hell and its power beyond belief
1t enehains the poor and rich in every
border State 1t hates liberty, intelh
gence and progress. Its arrogance, ma
Ggnity and cruelty, have no bounds. II
is terrible power, in terrible earnest
1t will fight to the death.
1t will not yield until it is thoroughly
conquered, and conquer it we shall, if we
are not degraded sons of noble sires
Separation is destruction and division o
the North. The country must remain
one, and the South must be conquered
1t will take time, and blood and money
but by far the cheapest mode OF settle
ment is by conquest; any other settle
ment entails endless wars, barharism, ano
eternal degradation"

WHICH BUELL. WILL TAKE.
Rebel Outrage in Spencer county
Kentucky.

1t appears that the rebels have no more
respect for the sanctity of the Sabbath
and the sacred precincts of the house of
God than they have for the rights of their
fellow men. We learn from source en-
titled to belief, that squad of their cav
airy made decent yesterday upon Rock
bridge Church, in Spencer county, twelve
miles beyond Taylorsville, and, while the
congregation were engaged in their devo-
tions, seized number of leading Union
men and bore them away, terribly fright
ening the women and children, and. OF
course, breaking up the service. This
conduct is in keeping with the acts OF
vandalism with which our senses have
been shocked from time to time since the
inception of the unholy rebellion--Lou-

j. NJ MANNING, Old South Church.
To THE PRESIDENT OF TIE EMITTED STATES:
We the undersigned. women nr the
United States. who have freely given our
brothers. sons, and husbands TO tight for
their country in this deadly struggle, and
who will seek every opportunity TO aud,
cheer. and uphold them to the end-see-
ing our army, the flower and hope Of the
land exposed to needless danger and suf-
ferings-do hereby ask of you, Abraham
Lincoln. that you, as chief ruler of this
nation, see 10 it that the strength which
is needed against the enemy, be not vast
ed by foe within-and that you cause all
negligent. incompetent, drunken, or knav-
ish men, who in the first hurry OF selec-
ton obtained for themselves welghty
charges and posts of responsibility, to be
ut once sought out and dISmissed-and
that you give our precious soldiers IN
keeping to the most honest, and most ca
pabie, the most faithful, trusty, and zeal
Gus officers, both civil and military, that
can be found within our land.
So that we, waiting at home that issue
which the God of Battles alone can give,
need fear for our soldiers no evils but those
inseperable from war-need fear no meth-
cient or untrusty quartermasters, no care
less, ignorant, or drunken officers, no un-
slillful. unfeeling, or drunken surgeons
We believe that a just severity to such
offenders would greatly increase the
efficiency of our army, and would strength
en- the hands of Government by securing
the confidence of the people. ..-
1t would be welcome to all those officers
and officials who are now working faith
fully. 1t would be welcome. to every
one; for though men are prone to float
on the fraiI platform of Whatever i, IS
right" they rejoice when some bold hand
breaks it in fragments under them.
We have intrusted to you all that we
most value-we believe that you will care
for it tenderly and conscientiously- re
membering that of this host when one
man suffers many hearts bleed. We suf-
fer willingly in the cause of civilization
and humanity, and to maintain our ma
tional self-respect-we suffer willingly
but we look to you, our chosen ruler, that
We do not suffer in vain.

The Prisoners Taken at Manassas.

The Alexandria Ne,cs of Saturday eve
ming has obtainad from some of our men
who were captured at Manassas the fol-
lowing account of their adventures whilst
within the rebel lines:
They reached Manassas again at eleven
o'clock on Wednesday morning. When
they got thore they found fight going on
between the New Jersey Division under
Gen. Tay lor and the forces under Jackson
who drove back Taylor and took some
prisoners. They were then marched with

vile with some prisoners. He direct
ed the prisoners to be marched back,
when they stopped opposite ''Wier's
House. formerly Beauregards headquar-
tcrs. where they were put into camp,
being guarded, and stood there until ten
minutes before eleven on Wednesday
night when they were taken TO the old
battle field of Manassas. and remained
till Jackson's left wing was attacked by
Sigel's forces, whereupon they were re-
moved towards Sudley Church. about a
mile. Then Jackcon's right wing was
opened upon-then they commenced tax
ing list of the prisoners, getting tired OF
trotting them round, with aview of parol-
ing them Capt Mercer was requested to
furnish some clerks to give the names
They returned with the papers in about
two hours. The prisoners were drawn up
in line and commenced calling their
names. They got about half way through.
Jackson's left was again opened upon.
About that time some more prisoners
came in which made it necessary to take
their names also. They were then re-
quested to set down. In about an hour
of sundown the right was again attacked;
firing continued till o'clock. At ii
o'clock long streams of Confederate am
/ balances and wagons came along with
Confederate wounded, and party OF sol
diers with spades and shovels to dig graves
for their Killed. About daylight after
this, on Thursday morning, the guards
commenced waking up the prisoners, pre-
paratory to a march further SOUTH
Heavy firing was then heard on the

could proceed within the lines of the Fed

ENORMOUS Capture Of Whales.

On Tuesday, the 9Th instant, q large
shOal of 'caaiag" whales were seen ap-
preaching the land in the direction of
Whiteness. The welcome news soon
spread, and boats were quickly manned
by brave men of all classes, fully equipped
with harpoOnS. lances, ETC., TO do battle
with these monsters OF the deep. I'm
daunted by want of success and the in
elemency of the weather, after considera.
BILE delay, the men succeeded in bringing
the pack into the Noe of Weisdale.-
When they got into shallow and muddy
water, their assailants finding some diff
Guilty in landing them, and no doubt wish
ing to enjoy the whole instead of two
thirds of the proceeds of their capture,
commenced to attack them at sea. The
boats being numerous, the whales close
together, and, it is unnecessary to add,
the men most dexterous in the use of the
various instruments of death, in short
time the whole pack, was, with few excep-
tions, either killed or wounded. Afterb be-
ing killed, the animals were generally
tossed ashore, but many escaped wound
ed from their captors, and, dying from
their wounds, sank. After alapse of TWEEN
ty-four hours their earcasses re-appeared
on the surface, and being picked up, were
landed at places most convenient to the
captors. Owing to great number of places
at which were landed, and the great dis
tanees they are from each other, it is i'm
possible as yet TO say the exact number
tx il at about
500, others at 200: but probably 500 or
400 is more correct. In the affray several
boats were stove in, and others were COM
pletely smashed and their crews thrown
into the sea; but, fortunately, all the men
were rescued Immediately, and nothing
serious was the result. The news of this
large capture of whales created consider
able excitement in Lerwick, and on Sat
urday several gentleman proceeded to
Weisdale, some on business and Others on
pleasure, amongst whom were some gal
lant riaemen, who had determined to try
the effect of their Enfield balls on the
monsters of the deep. but were unfortun-
ately too late.-.Ststiand Adgertiser.

The Governor of Pennsylvania Calls
aIl Able-bodled Men 70 Arms.

HARRIsBURG, September l0.-Goy. Cur
tin has issued an order in view ofthe dan
ger of invasion now threatening our State,
by the enemy Of our Government. Ii is
deemed necessary to call upon all the
able-bodied men of Pennsylvania TO or
ganize Immediately for the defense Of the
State, and be ready for marching orders
upon one hours notice, and proceed to
such places of rendezvous as the Govern
ment may direct. Intelligence of reli-
able character is received, to the effect that
the rebels under Jackson, entered Hagers-
town in force this p. NJ. The operator left
while the rebels were entering the town.
Arrangements for the defense OF this city
are going forward; and the order OF the
Government, issued to-day, is considered
q Just, proper and precautionary measure.
1t NAV be the forerunner of an actual call,
probably soon to be made. There Is
nothing later from Hanover or York.
