A Republican Meeting OF Vir-
YinianS.

We notice in our city contemporary that
the Republican citizens of this city and
surrounding country propose holding Mass
Meeting at st. Clairsville, over in Ohio,
some day next week.
Why not hold it here at home, an save
the expense of going to another State for
the purpose? We willguarantee th't they
would not be dispersed by the military or
by mob, however disloyal they may be at
heart, so long as they confine themselves
to the legitimate purposes of public meet
ings and public discussions. We promise
them that the time is about gone by for
'suppressing" free discussion by mob or any
other lawless violence, and that they would
be perfectly safe on Virginia soil.

Let Go Your Liberty for a Time
BENJAMIN Franklin.

Nothing is more common than the re-
mark of Abolitionists when they are called
upon to defend or apologize for the arbi-
trary arrests of the Administration, for its
disregard of the writ of habeas corpus, for
its carrying of elections by military force,
or its employment of despotic power, that
we must consent to surrender up our liberties
for time, in order to preserve the Union.
1t is a wonder they do not hear the voice
of Franklin sounding in our ears those mem
orable words of wisdom and warning which
should be written or hung up in great let
tiers wherever the people meet for consulta
zion in times of public danger: "Those aOho
.rould giee s.p essential liberty to purchase
little temporary safety, dsssrcs neither liberty
nor safety"
Liberty, once surrendered up, is gone for
ever, or is never restored except BY the
sword! Patrick Henry says also in this
connection
SIS the REIMBURSEMENT OF the trial by
Jury and the liberty of the press necessary
for your liberty? Will the abandonment of
the most sacred rights tend to the security
of your liberty? Liberty, the greatest of
all earthly blessings give US that precious
Jewel, aud you may take every thing else.-I
The first thing I have at heart is American
liberty: the second thing is American Union.

The Prospects in Pennsylva-

The Luzerne Pennsylvania Union says
the Democracy will elect Judge Wood
ward Governor of the State Of Pennsylva
MIA, as sure as the second Tuesday of Octo-
Der shall arrive. The Philadelphia Age says
this is the feelin everywhere throughout
the State. 1t adds:
"The Old Democratic counties will come
down upon the party in power with an
avalanche Of majorities against usurpation
and corruption that the decimated battal,
lions of Abolitonists will be crushed and
extinguished Berks, York Northampton,
Schuylkill and Luzerne will suffice to
drown the voice of every Abolition county
in the State. Little Lehigh alone will take
down more than one of her Abolition sisters
that have heretofore been regarded as

LAUNCHING OF THE LADIES' GUNBoAT.-The
ladies' gunboat, which, for several months past,
has been in the course of erection on the shore
opposite Rockets, was launched on yesterday
afternoon at half past o'clock. A large crowd
was assembled on this side of the river to wit
ness the baptism, which was performed with
perfect easev and without accident. This boat
will soon be ready for active service, as the
plating will be rapidly put on, and the engines
arranged, now that nothing else remains to be
done The Richmond feet will now soon be
big enough to do the enemy good turn in the
way of sinking some of his ships, driving his
troops out Of the way, and damaging his pros
poets in lower Virginia, Richmond Wing.

same tale in regard to the nature of the surren-

anyway, as they were greatly superior in num-
bers, and had many advantages in other re-
spects. They blew up portions Of our works.
and were undermining the city, and tits thought
would have finally literally dug it up. We sur
rendered with about $4,000 men, all our guns
falling into the hands Of the enemy, in good
condition. Gen. Pemberton issued orders to
march to parole camp somewhere in Georgia,
but most Of our troops have already wandered
off to their homes; and one boat load if no
more, have gone north, rather than go into
parole camp. Such are the statements of pa
rolled prisoners who have passed through here.
The federas, Immediately upon taking posses
sion Of the place, went to putting up stores and
trading shops, and -four fell from $500. to IS
per barrel; and other things in like proportion.
Our men universally agree that the federals
treated them remarkably well-as kindly as
brothers. Homer Had.

to that extent it should Without truth there
cannot be any confidence between man and
man-no security for life or property. The

rigidly impressed upon our children from the
cradle to maturity. The many falsehoods now
daily retaed and promulgated by a people pro-
Tossing christianity, Isl disgrace to human ma

mediately. The retailer of knowing falsehoods

ELECTIONS During the next two months, q
number Of elections will come off in the north
west, and it will, no doubt, be attempted to I'M
press upon our minds that the democratic party
there greatly sympathise with the people here
IN the south. There is as much truth in this as
there is in the many ridiculous reports daily
sent forth from our postofice corner to deceive
the mass of the people. They have been de-
ceived and betrayed so often that they are get
ting very suspicious, and well they may be- The
fact is, the people in the north and northwest
as body, are opposed to our institutions, and
i is idle to think otherwise.
Our own State elections come off IN Novem-
her, and notwithstanding the hue and cry that
there is no parties now, the democracy were
never more firmly united, especially in endeav-
oring to retain all the civil and most of the
military Offices. 1t appears to US now is the
time for the wings to rally-they can carry al
most every parish in the State.

Do WE DESERVE TO BE FREE?-We desDise
croakers but when we see the most important
military posts in the Confederacy put in charge
of northern men with southern principles" and
by them given up to the yankee commanders, it
seems to US SO utterly inconsistent with prudence
and common sense, that we doubt whether we de-
serve to be free.
When we see such lack Of foresight, or some
thing worse, as to leave the most important point
in the south, unprovisioned, when the yankees
had been straining every nerve to take it for
more than year, we are tempted to ask our
selves, if we deserve to be free.
When we see the whole country infested with
men who should be in the army, one protesting
to be an invalid, and another to have resigned a
commission, while multitudes are seen on the
public highways under various pretexts, at time
of most critical emergency, we involuntary ask,
if we deserve to be free.
When we see those who are left at home while
the brave youth of the country have given up
all their comforts for their country good almost
ignoring the existence of a class known as SOL
diers, save only their own kin, and spending their
time and energies in accommodating money, we are
almost driven to the conclusion, that we do not
deserve to be free.
When we hear of the rich men of the country
running away to save their property, and save
their families from the insults of the brutal foe,
leaving the wives Of the poor soldiers, who are
risking their lives in defense of that property,
we confess that we are almost tempted to exclaim,
we do not deserve to be free.
When we see men subjugaton and slavery
staring them in the face, busiy occupiedin grind
ing the faces of the poor, or on the constant
watch for the best trade that can be made, even
with the hard pressed wife of an absent soldier,
we almost knock under and admit that we do not
deserve to be free
When we hear Of men, protesting to be men,
who are ready to give up because Vicksburg has
fallen, who declare that further resistance is use
less, we say@to ourselves, well surely we do not
deserve to be free.
But finally when we find that our women have
to throw themselves into the breach and press on
men, we come decidedly to the con-
cusion, but for the fair daughters of the south,
We do not deserve to be free. La. Baptist.
