BARBARITY OF THE REBELs.-A copper
head Democratic Journal in Philadelphia,
the Age, praises the forbearance of Gen.
LEE, in his recent raid into Pennsylvania,
and his regard for the laws of civilized
warfare. The Louisville Journal says:
We cannot concur with the Age in these
concentrations, for there Is - me- nod"
in this moderation. The Richmond En-
quirer, of the Goth ult., develops the true
rebel policy, which is one of dissimulation
1t breaches forbearance "fron plumber

were nop permitted 10 load themselves

Result of the Democratic Policy.


Ia the brutal riot at New York we have
the legitimate result OF the Democratic
teachings and management. There that
licensed treason which Democratic agita
tors call liberty of speech, has had full
course, and in this bloody work it is fifty
glorifed. There the Woods have dared
the Government to try to interfere with
their right to instigate and organize the
enemies of the Government Tor war; and
there pusillanimous Vallandigham and
! feeble Pendeton and the tuneful Cox, have
screamed a higher key of reasonable vii
lainy, to draw the Yells OF the Dead Rab-
bits, and the other ignorant and vile dregs,
native or foreign, Of great city.
There a Governor who procured his
election by war professions, but who has
ever since exhibited his close alliance with
| treacherous peace men, lifted up his con-
tinual cry as it there were nothing al stake
in this country, and nothing worthy of de-
tense, or of popular concern, or constitQ-
tional protection, except the right OF trail
tors to instigate and organize violence such
as has by these means been precjpitated in
| New York, which in a moment overturus
all human rights, and sets up reign Of
brutal violence, murder, arson and pIllage.
In this the Democratic policy has had
Its perfect work, and 10 these Atrocities the
people may see its real features. To say
that the continual harangues of Democrat
ic speakers and OF the Democratic press,
are not connected with this riot, and are
| not responsible for it, would be IS insult
ing to common sense as to say that the
| midnight incendiary who applies the torch
TO the dwelling Is not connected with,
nor responsible for, the flames which de-
stroy it and the sleeping family.
These vile and. disloyal elements have
been continually harangUed that they were
to be dragged from their homes to carry
on a war which was being waged to take
| away their liberties and establish a des-
| potism war TO free the negro, to come
and take the bread out of their mouths !;
| that it was their duty TO stop the war and
| recover their own liberties that the draft
| was fraud, coutrived to draw Democrats
and exempt Republicans; tina. it was IN
| constitutional, and that it is the right Of
citizens TO resist unconstitutional measures
of the Government.
Ali this, and vastly more OF the same
sort, and nothing but this, has been con
tinually brawled and reiterated by Demo
cratic speakers and journals Nor was
this all: while the public instigation OF
sedition was pushed to the utmost, the
more reckless Instruments were secretly
organizing tie conspiracy tor the out
break. The chief guilt of this attrocious
crime Is Oh the heads of these public in
stigators, the Woods, Vallandighams,
Pendletons, and that vile sort, who insti
gated the deed, and who should suffer the
penalty.

When the faht wac most terrific, Col.
Fall. commanding the brigade, quietly or
6ered the color bearer of the 10Th Massa-
chusetts 20 advance upon the enemy alone.
It was like an electric impulse. 1t thrilled
the entire line. Men forgot that they
were on the defensive, and without an
order from a commanding officer the line,
ss if bent on one common purpose, sursed
ahead Thousands Of bayonets flashed IN
the beams OF the setting sun. Then came
a wild hurrah, and the mass of rebels
melted away over the plain.
THE RETREAT.
The invasion Of the North was over, the
power of the Confederacy broken. mere
at that sunset hour | could discern the fu
ture-no longer ali overcast SKY, but clear,
unclouded starlight--a country redeemed,
saved. baptized cOnsecrated anew to the
coming ages.
All honor to the heroic living, all glory
to tie gallant dead They have not fought
in vain, they have not died for nought.
No man liveth To himself alone No. for
themselves, but for their children, for
those who may never hear of them in
their nameless graves, have they yielded
life-for the future-for all that Is good,
pure, holy, true, !just-for humanity, right
eousness, peace-for paradise on earth -
for Christ and for God-they have given
themselves willing sacrifice. Blessed be
their memory forevermore. CARLETON.
To the Aid Societies of Wisconsin.
Editors State Journal:
Allow me to say to the Aid Societies OF
Wisconsin, through your paper, that there
are many things much needed among the
sick and wounded in hospital, which are
at this time sent in least quantities. There
is q lack of white cloths or rags with
which 10 dress wounds, an immediate
than any other kind Of clothing. / wish
also TO say that as now is the season for
fruits, that attention TO that matter is
also necessary, and that canned fruits,
when the soldier can get them, are very
beneficial and either canned or dried
fruits are worth more than medicine. If
the several Aid Societies will Just attend
TO the matter now, III its season, much
good may be done. Ii sent here for dis
tribution, it should be directed to me as
PRESIDENT State AGENT and not as santa
~ agent" Whatever IS sent, let it he
plainly marked, receipt taken, and the
receipt sent 10 me in letter. The ad-
dress, as signed TO this communication,
will be the best one for boxes or packages.
Slippery elm bark, dried but not pull
verized, would be very useful. These
snciptIes have done much good and can
do more, aud just now we have large
number OF wounded in addition to tue
sick, and prompt action on their part
would be very beneficial.

GEN. ULYSSES S. GRANT, ca.
NIcKsBURG, Mas, July 4th, 1863.

Pemberton was induced to surrender
the day he did, from tear of an assault on
the 4th, which was groundless, but the
primary cause of the capitulation was the
entire exhaustion of their stores. This
morning they drew supplies for their en-
tire force from our commissaries.
Vicksburg does not present the ruined
appearance naturally expected. Nearly
every house Is perforated by one or more
of our missiles, but comparatively few are
badly damaged. The Court House, al
though very prominent building, had
but one she'll enter it.

COpperhead Rally.

PORTER TP., Sept. 8th, '63.
The grand zone man" Butternut
mass convention came off at Olive
Green to-day. This convention was
published one week ago in the Stan
dard, also large, flaming bills were
sent out to herald the news. But
alas, the Butternuts were dead in the
shell. One solitary individual from
Sunbury, came to attend the conven-
ton, but when he got there he
couldn't see it. Messrs. Converse
& Co., were on hand, cut and dried
for rare time, when to their aston
ishment, it was so rare that they be-
gan to think themselves rather early
and concluded to get dinner; but
finding there was no Butternuts in
the neighborhood, they had to dine
with Union man. After dinner the
four speakers walked out again to
prospect on the situation, but still
it looked thin. The Union boys
gathered around them and spared
no breath in giving Brough several
rousing cheers. The convention,
speakers and all were most outrage
ously chagrined and in order to hide
it they appointed another meeting
to be held at the same place on the
23d, but unless we have several
heavy frosts, we think the Butter
nuts will hardly shell out.
