The capture Of New Orleans would be sig

which the most hostile critic could not make
the slightest cayi1. And success Of that kind
the North sadly wants. AL its victories have
hitherto been Of so doubtful character thai

Light from Texas,

Hon. Al .HAMILToN-or "Jack Ham
iltoD," rs he is familiarly called in Texas,
made = speech in Brooklyn, N. Y, the
2nd inst. He is q native Of Alabama,
aud represented Texas in the last Con-
gress. He said that was the first time he
ever made speech or free soil. He sta
ted that the attempt of the shareholders
to subvert free institutions, and to make
serfs of the non-slaveholders, "has severed
my allegiance to slavery, if ever had
any of it." Himself slave owner, he
declares his solemn conviction that the
system Of slavery at the South must be
destroyed, if VIC want to save the liberty
Of the white man there and here. "If
they compelled me to elect between my
children and their negroes, fool could
tell where | would be found. That issue
is before you, fellow-ci,izcns, tonight
1t is upon me; it is upon every man
from Maine to Mexico; shirk it if you
can" Ho reprobated the cry of "the
Union as it was" He declared that he
did not want the Union as it was in Tex
"a, in 1861, before the rebellion broke out,
where men were martyred for expressing
the opinions Of Washington, jefferson,
Madison and Monroe lie wanted a
Union where man could freely express
his opinion on any subject.

Auditor General.

This officer has been invariably re-elect
ed, heretofore, in our State. His expert
ence, in detecting fraudulent, trumped-uT
claims, is worth thousands to the State
yearly. We have never had better man
than Mr.. COCHRAN in the Office. Re
elect him, and he will rightly bar many
claims which the most honest successor
without his experience-might allow to
pass. 1t is the most Important Office to
guard the State Treasury. Aside from it
is a political test, it is matter of State Po-
licy to re-elect Thomas 4 Cochran

The Tonnage TaX!

According to the calculations of Demo
cratic journals, the Tonnage Tax Repeal
Bills withhold from the State Treasury of
Penu'a about TWELVE MILLIONS of
Dollars, to be paid by future Taxation, a
large portion OF it upon Roa! Estate. Out
side of Pailaielphia, but one or two men
who voted for the Repea! were RETURNED to
the next L"gi,i4ture-such was the pco-
pies caolamnaiion.
This year, the talented and eloquent
Hon. GEoGdE LANDoN, Of the Bradford
district, received the Republican Uaion
nomination for Congress. But, in State
Senate, he bad voted far the Repeal Of the
Tonnage Tax-aud such has been the
feeling manifested agains, Kim because Of
thli vote, that he has Gecliatd the nomi-

Promotion for Good Service.

We learn that Gen. Burnside has, with
ont the request or knowledge Of Dr. Theo-
dore s. Christ, promoted him to the rank
Of Brigade de-Surgeon-a rank which gives
honor and incidental advantages, but no
additional pay. This il oae evidence
among many Of the strict and consciencious
attention to lis duties, which has marked
Or. Chrjs,'s professional career in the army,
anl which shows that there are some Sur
geons who are honest and faithful, while
others are careless and uufit. 4 stranger
in town the ether day, stated that Or.
Christ saved his life by his attention, al
though he belonged to another Regiment,
and was under no legal obligations to at
tend to tim ata all Were all the Surgeons
thus kind and patriotic, there would be
few if any just complaints come up from
the Army about the needless suF'rings Of
sick and wounded. The appointing pow
crs--as every man comes to them with
pockets tul. If the strongest rccommenda-
tions-mgst almost unavoilably make ma
ny mistakes in Commissioning Surgeons
as well as Officers gcacrally-Lut it Is not
easy to recall I trust. We are glad, there
fore, to learn so many commcudati0us of
the Lewieburg Surgcons-lI4yes, Christ,
and M'Cormrck-and Icjoice to see that
some are sometimes discharged j1r cause.
The recent conference Of loyal Govern
ors at Altoua it is said urged upon the
General Government permission for
those exhausted by severe labors to go
home to recruit, as more cheap and sure
in the long run. 1t seems to US this is
reasonable, especially as in some instances,
gentlemen Of Union county assure us,thcre
are careless or wilfully disobliging sur
geons or stewards of hospitals who neglect
soldiers in their charge.

Brady all Right again.
CONGRfSS
John J. Eciminsnyder.

last week, at Sunbury, the " constitu
tionality" of the Brady Township Re-An
nexation Act was tested. Mr.. Foresmar
of Brady was taken for debt, by the Sher
if of Lycoming county, after the rc-an
nexation Of brady to Union county
Foresman objected to the Jurisdiction Of
Lycomiug, and Judge Jordan Of Lycom.
ing at once decided that Foresman be-
lOugol to Union county. Three Williams
port Lawyers appeared on the appeal tc
the Supreme Court, and after arguing
their side of the cause, the judges told
the h2wisburs lawyers it was not necessa.
ry to take up time in replying-the re-
annexation was " fixed fact"
Thus have the people Of Brady by re-
peated petitions and elections-thus have
the Courts of Lycoming and Of Union
and thus has the Supreme Court decided
that lower Brady is part of " heavenly In
ion" And thus have few Williamsport
lawyers baflled those concerned, and added
costs and caused neighborhood jars, year
after ycar-to no good purpose.
The Lycoming Bradyites vote hereafter,
at the old Piatt house, on Penny Hill, in
Lycomipg county.

Peculiar g.ial o. Patriotism.

For six months past, the Unionist-
of PENNSYLVANIA have felt divided
duty" On the one hand was a rivcn
and bleeding Country, calling on it,
hearticst sons to leave their homes
and engage in deadly strife to save
the National existence. Ga the other
hand were tn charms Of peace and OF
home, and the honorS aud rewards of
Office and Of party asccaGaucy-thc
latter important from an earnest cen
yiction that it as necessary that the
Govcrnmcn: he sustained by lcgiSla-
ton. As well as ly Arms. The foes o!
the Administration have generally, in
secret if not openly, employed every
artiiice TO prevent men from ehllstlng
and to foment political and personal
strifes among those in service. Take
for example the blunt opinion of the
"Sclins"rovc Times" the only Demo
cratic paper in Snydcr county, that
any Democrat who cnlists is an Abo-
litionist or a Fool" and We have the
animating principle Of too many of
the leading men of that party. The
instances of resistance 10 drafts come
from the same political party. 1t is
true many of them were willing to
give and vote hOuntiCS to Republican
and Douglas Democratic Volunteers 4:
but they checked the Iibe.al impulses
of their own friends who would have
goue, and kept back all they thought
would VOTE with them. The result
isl or } Republican to | Dcmocra-
tic Volunteer. The former went with
the full knowledge that every vote
thus lost endangered party ascendcn-
cy in many countics-and was so far
loss. But 10 give up the land TO
he ravaged by the loe-to have the
Old Keystone reduced to the level Of
Nirginia-wonld be a greater loss.
They thought the salvation Of the best
OF Governments above that Of the best
of Parties. They have not counted
noses TO gain some petty oilice-thcy
have not cody calculated on gains
from the patriotic devotion Of their
opponcnts-they have not laughed in
secret councils over the fact that their
opponents had gone to fight, and left
them the Offices. They struck for the
lasting good of the whole country
they did duty, and trusted Providence
for the future.
The Unionists have spent their
time, money, and influence, in meet
ings and other efforts TO sustain the
Government, while some Democrats
have been Just as busy and industri-
Gus i'll trying to prejudice the people
against it.
Should our State, thcrcforc-from
this absence Of her noblest sons in the
Army-bc found arraycd, in appear
ancc, against the Administration, the
Unionists abroad mast not take it as
the real sentiment OF our people, nor
fail to credit the people for thus sac
riiicing party for the general good.
The children Of Israel marched to
the Red Sca-and through it-at the
command OF jehovah. With like
faith, thousands Of Union men have
entered the Army, even while fearful
that their absence from home may aid
in giving triumpAs to the sympathiz-
crs Of the Pharaoh Of Slavery.
