Bound Oucr.-We have been informed
that the Hon, VIM. Turner, Associate
Judge OF the Courts of Northumberland
County, was arrested on Wednesday of last
week, and bognd over by Justice Barr OF
IurbutsVlIle, to appear at Court at Sunbu-
ry, to answer the charge of committing an
assault and battery at his wn house, on
the person of Miss Stead, daughter of Mr..
William Stead, on the evening of the 4th
July. The parties reside in Lewis town
ship, Northumberland county, some three
or four miles from this borough, aud the
cause Of the difficulty, we learn, arose from
q controversy Oh the war-the young lady
having brother now a prisoner in the
hands Of the rebels, and being an uncom-
promising and devoted friend of the Union
cause. AS the case will soon be made the
subject of judicial investigation, we refrain
IRON making any comments in relation to
1t at the present time. When the case is
tried we have no doubt the proceedings will
be fully reported by our Sunbury cotempo-
raries, and we shall then take occasion to
copy them for the benefit Of our readers

The Partisans of Party /!

Thos B. Florence of Philadelphia, who
will be remembered as one Of the most OBJ
sequious toadies of Buchanan's admins
tration and apologist for Cobb, Floyd,
Thompson and other rebel thieves in the
name OF democracy, has started a new pa
per in Philadelphia, club for. which was
raised here by the strenuous exertions of
some constitutional brawlcrs The first
number is niger all over, and has little to
say against the traitors now endeavoring to
destroy this country, but much against
President Lincoln, who is heart and soul
in the work Of preserving it. So long as
men calling themselves good citizens will
lend their influence to support the princi-
pies engendered by such papers-prnci,
pies we'll calculated to divide public senti-
ment at the North-there is but little hope
Of crushing the rebellion, and still less of
Restoring this country to what it was in the
days OF Monroe, when the hydra head of
party could hardly raise corporaps guard.
How different from this is the conduct of
leading democrats who were once the hon.
ored counseilors of that party? At the
war meeting in Pittsburg on Thursday last,
Hon. Wm. Wilkins, now SO years of age,
was called to the chair, and in his address
said
Whilst | gratefully thank you for thus
distinguishing me, and intimate what must
be obvious to friend and to stranger, do not
suppose, Tor a moment that | am cold or
neutral on the great event of the day. | am
with you IN your unexampled unanimity-
cordially with the General Administration
and every sentiment of my heart is detesta
ton OF the atrocious treason which has, IN the
negro South, BEEN SECRETLY FOR YEARS PLOT.
TING, and is now eggaged in the open field of
war, to overthrow a Government under the
administration Of which that minor portion
Of the Union always held an excess of infu,
ence, OF patronage, and of Office No, no:
were my grave now dug beneath the chair
On which SIT, the last impulse of my heart,
ana the last qulvering murmur of my lips,
would be III prayer fer the success of the Ad.
InInistratI0n and the overthrow Of the rebel
lien.
" At this moment, my fellow-citisens, Il is
public happiness to believe that the course
OF events at Washington, and the call of the
Ires'dent OF the United States for a large ad-
ditit nal force in the field, plainly indicate an
energetic policy speedily to bring the war to
q successful termination. This is the great
ana preliminary object. Let all other politi
Ga' questions and controversies giVs way, and
be postponed to the more appropriate and
happy era when peace, and union, and the
Consultation shall again cover the land"

The Guerilla Raids in Kentucky and
Tennessee

Tennessee.
The Nashville Union gives a theory OF
the guerilla raid in Kentucky and Tennes-
see, the general features of which are as
follows:
| MANY rebel officers and privates have been
sent back to their homes from the Confederate
armv, ostensibly quitting the service In dls-
gust, and protesting loyalty by taking the oath
! of allegiance, but really for the purpose OF
I organizing marauding bands at home to rob
/ and murder Union men.
/ when these spies have ascertained the po-
sition and strength of our various commands,
it is an easy task to make forced marches and
cut off in detail few hundred soldiers, whose
officers are ambitious Of quelling the rebellion
by making conciliating speeches and catching
the runaway slaves of rebels. The guerillas
have the game all their own way. We are
betting on the gamblers tricks and furnishing
ali the stakes. In such a mode of warfare
the finest troops in the world can be exter-
minated by few squads Of rangers
The Union calls for million Of soldiers
-one hundred thousand in every Cotton
State, and vast army in the Border States.
w e Will al army VI CdNdlFy lO NUM- the
guerillas to their dens and render them help
less and harmless. Unless we act promptly,
our forces will either be cut up in detail, or
the Union people of the South will be driven,
penniless. starving and naked, from their
homes. 1t is worse than folly to be acting
or rather not acting, as we have been doing
What we want Is one million of soldiers sub.
sisted and fed off the rebels. We must
strengthen ourselves and impoverish the reb
els. We must add to our force and resources
and detract from those Of the enemy. Let
there be no inhnmanitv-no cruelty-but let
there be an overpowering force, and let even
handed justice be meted out promptly. Such
a war as we are waging now can be support
ed by the rebels for ten years.
Public opinion is centcring to the per-
suasion that it is time for the Governor to
enrol all able-boded men from Is to IS in
this State, and if moro troops are required
at once to make craft In truth we are
not alone in the opinion that call from
the President for from 100000 to 1,000,-
900 Of men under the militia bill recently
passed, would end this war one way or the
other in u short time Whether it is to
result in repossession, subjngation or con-
quest of rebel territory, let it be done at
once, without regard to the feelings of the
nigger breeders south or their sympathiz-
ers north.
