WHO Numbered at Petersburg E?

The failure of the recent attack on
Petersburg is to be investigated by n
Court of Inquiry, of which Gen.
Hancock viii be the President. In
all the movements of the army of the
Potomac Gep, Grant plans, and Gen.
Meade makes tho dispositions, per-
fects the arrangements, and under
advertisement carries the plans out.
In this case, it is openly said, he fail
ed in his arrangements in not giving
the proper orders, and, in the express
siyc parlance of the ring did not
"comc to time 1t is said. also that
a jealousy which has existed between
certain general officers, cropped out,
and that in consequence Of it GER
tain important order was not trans
mitted to the officer for whom it was
intended. General Meade as The ex-
utivo officer of the army, is made to
bear the principal share of the blame;
but the Inquiry will settle whether
justly or unjustly. Should the re-
suit be against him, charge in the
command of the Army of the Poto-
mac will doubtless take place, though
we apprchend that Gen. Grant will
make a change only after the neces-
sity has been clearly shown.
There are those who lodge the
blame with Gen Burnside, and we
are prepared to hear that another
distinguished officer, not yet named
in the connection, is also made to bear
share of the blame. To the chang
es likely to result from the Inquiry
into the question of failure, we sup
pose the correspondent in our last
alluded, when he remarked that the
les "will work radical change
in the aspect of military affairs in
Virginia, F" All accounts agree,
however, in saying that beyond the
disappointment occasioned, the fail
ure is of no serious Importance. The
plan was perfect in itself and the mis-
carriage was an incident from which
no army or cause can expect always
to be exempt.-Pitts. Commercial.

also appears that il has its own army,
which the Commander-in-C may call
into active service. The present. Com
mander-in- Chief is said to bee. il. Val
landigham.
That there are Copperheads sufficiently
venomous in their hatred to the Govern
ment of the United States to'advocatc all
that is set forth as the principles of the
Order, including an almost direct appeal
to arms whenever fit opportunity shall
offer, does not admit of any doubt. The
most virulent Copperhead papers of the
West do not deny the authenticity of the
published documents; ON the contrary,
they plead that every American has the
right to join an Order having the princi-
pies of the Sons Of Liberty" All the
afairamounts to, from the proofs present
ed, is" says The indianapolis Sentinel,
that certain persons have'banded togeth-
er to maintain certain political doctrines
subordinate to the Constitution
According to the report of the
{! Grand Secretary of the Order,
there were, in February, 1864, in In
diana about II, 900 members and the
organization was at work in the States
of New Y York, New-Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, New-Hampshire, Connecticut,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Delewafe, Maryland, and Missouri.
If all the documents that have been
published are correct, it is certain
that a number of States have in their
midst associations of men who are
solemnly bound to rise, on fit oppor-
tunity, for the dissolution of the
Union and for forming new Confed-
eracy of sovereign States. With re-
gard to their ayowed intention to com
nit treason, the Governmet has
great responsibility resting upon it.
Its action ought to be prompt, un-
daunted, and decisive.
The Sons of. Liberty, if there is
any loyalty left in the Democratic
party, must soon prove wedge for
the dissolution Of that party. These
who have professed opposition to the
principle of Secession will soon have
to prove whether they can 90 hand
in hand with avowed Secessionists or
not.

Derlocralic TreacHery.

We give in another column of to-day s
paper a letter from Harrisburg, giving the
plans and policy of the Democratic lead
era on the questions of allowing our sol
diers to vote, and of filing up our armies
under the last call of the President. The
writer is well informed on the subjects he
treats. and his statements may be implicitly
! trusted.
The Democratic leaders despair of de-
feating the extension of suffrage to our
soldiers. because the thousands of honest
and patriotic men Of that party, who are
misled by the charm Of Democracy into
the embrace of the foes of the govern
ment, would openly and manfully revolt
should they avow their hostility to the
soldiers voting Therefore they must be
silent; they must conceal their hatred to
| our brave armies and the cause for which
they are periling their lives, and operate
only by stealth and treachery to procure
votes against the proposition. They will
not succeed, however, for the loyal men
of the State, Of both parties, will, on
Tuesday next, confer these Just civil rights
upDt buI BidNC men III lIC uelu.
The developments made by our cores
pondent touching the position of the Dem
ocratic leaders on the increase of our ar
mics, would be appalling, indeed, were
not the treacherous procliyities of those
politicians well known. They will not
volunteer, or be drafted Union men may
enlist with their appreciation; but Demo
Gratis must stay at home to aid in defeat
ing the enforcement of the draft
This is the last desperate effort Of the
allies of traitors in the North Well do
they know that the reinforcement Of our
heroes in the field will bring the war to
speedy close, without the fearful sacrifices
which must ever attend offensive move
ments unless the military force is over
whelming; and if the war is ended and
treason driven into submission and shame,
the hope of Democratic success at the next
election is at an end TO give the Dem
ocratic party victory, and enable it to
break the fall of traitors by disgraceful
diplomacy, they deliberately resolve to
exhaust themselves to give success to the
rebels in the field. They frankly confess
that in the defeat and sacrifice of the
Union armies alone is their hope of Dem
ocratic success at the next election.
Let loyal menof all parties ponder well
their painful truths. Let but the porfdy
Of these leaders be made known to the
people, and tens Of thousands will revolt
and array themselves in the ranks of the
Union party. We welcome the Democrat
ic leaders to their work Of treason Let
them unfold their trcachery, as they soon
must, and the People will rise in their
majesty and sweep into utter shame, the
tricksters who would build a partizan vic
tory upon the triumph of our country's
foes hamhergLmn Rcp0sitolY

COMMUNICATIONS

For the Citizen.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-Y our paper of
July 20th, was put into my hands yester-
day, and my attention directed to an arti-
Gle purporting to be report" of the
Adams township Sanitary Committee, l
feel constrained to say in selfdefense, that
there are things stated in that article
which are not in strict accordance with
the facts. When "my son Thos. Mar
shall, " came to my house with letter
from his father | told him that / had not
time to attend to it, and wanted him to
take the paper to Mr.. Jacob Stoup. This
he refused to do and left with the matter
standing in this way. Then week or
two after, list of Collectors appointed
by Mr.. Samuel Marshall, was published
in the papers, and my name was not in
the list, and very naturally l came to the
conclusion he had given the appointment
to some one else.
And to ease the conscience of the ex-
Hon. Judge would hereby inform him
that / did not collect, nor even give one
cent to the Sanitary Fair, and for the rea-
son that | did not believe 1T to be the
right way Of giving to that, or any other
object But if ! had thought different
ly, and my duties as a Minister of the
Gospel, had allowed me to engage in the
Fair business, and act in the way marked
out by the Chairman, there would not
one dollar, no not single cent, have ev-
er gone his way, because | feel inclined
to doubt both the loyalW and safety of a
man who at one time appeared before a
church court to aid and abet Secession and
efs-slaveryism and at another time left
the church and congregation of which
he was an inconsistent member, because
the aged pastor felt it to be his duty to
disobey Bis commands, and obey that of
his Master, and preach and pray against
Slavery, treason and rebellion, both at
home and abroad, and also to pray for the
success Of our array and navy and for the
speedy deliverence of the oppressed.
And if the Judge will please employ
his spare moments in extrieating himself
from the bundle Of Inconsistencies into
which he has wound himself, be willhave
rs much as will keep him busy until the
war is over, without trying to bring him
self and others into difficulty by misrepre-
sentation. Il. NJ. PATTERSON.
