That the war is being prosecuted
with vigor and that the rebellion is
fast waning, can best be demonstrated
by comparing the situation year ago
with the present. Then the rebels
were still in possession of Vicksburg,
Port Hudson, had firm foothold in
Tennessee, Kentucky, and Lees army
was invading Pennsylvania Thous-
ands Of our citizens were fleeing with
their stock in all directions, and appre-
tensions were entertained that the
rebels would cross the Susquehanna,
capture Harrisburg, devastate the in
terror, and perhaps take Philadelphia.
How stands the case now? Our fap
is displayed within sight of the rebel
capita, whose citizens hourly hear
the thunder of hostile cannon; our
troops occupy ground thus far untrod
by northern soldiers, both in Virginia
and Georgia, and the war is thus car
ried into the heart of the confederacv.
If this is not encouraging, then we do
not know what the word means; and
If loyal men will but have patience,
such as would be exercised under any
extraordinary difficulties, we are firm
in the conviction that the beginning of
the end is in view. A day, a week,
month, or half a year may be ne
cessary, to produce this result, but it
will come, despite the croakings of
northern tories.

What Democratic Soldiers Saw.


A son Of David Moore, of West But
faloe township, Union county, enlisted
in an Illinois Regiment, rampant
Democrat. While serving in Missis-
sippi, recently, he wrote to friend in
Union county a letter, published in
the Mif1inburg Telegraph, the conclu-
sion of which we quote as follows:
''There is another thing that win have
much to DO with the closing up of this war
during the next year, and that is for the
re election of Abraham Lincoln. 1t will
discourage the rebels more than the loss OF
Richmond They will see that the North
is determined not to compromise with trai-
tors, and they viii begin to count the cost
of carrying on this war four years longer.
1t will also have good effect on foreign
nations x x = If there should be Pres
ident elected next fall who would be will
ing to compromise with the rebels, and call
our armies from the field the result would
be the recognition Of the Southern Confed
eracy, the dissolution of the Union, and the
disgrace of every soldier in the service
Such state of things, | hope, may never
come to pass hope common sense will
prevail with the people at home, and that
they will re elect Old Abe, as a military
necessity. If | am allowed to vote this
fall III give him vote as long as my arm.

Gen. Sherman, in dispatch dated this

the enemy had abandoned his position. |
based my report on that of all the armv
commanders. The enemy has thrown
back his flank, and abandoned all his

9 respectfully ask that an equal num- !
Der OF rebel officers of equal rank NAV be
sent to me, in order that | may place them
under the enemy's fire as lon g as our off
GERS are exposed in Charleston" )"
This department has issued retaliatory
order, transferring to Gen. Foster an equal /,
number OF general officers to be treated in
the manner proposed as long as our officers
are exposed in Charleston.
Il. NJ. STANTON, Sec'y of War.
We have no later official news, but
there is no doubt Petersburg is COM
pIetely invested, and that the city it.
self is within range Of our cannon.
The great battles of the war may DOS

The slaves in the counties of Davies,
Henderson, and Union, in Kentucky, are
descrting the plantations ty scores, and
making their way to the Union lines. The
Louisville journal says, ';The blacks are
entirely demoralized, and cannot be con-
trolled by their masters"
1t is passing strange these contra
bands cannot appreciate the bless
ings Of slavery According to lazy
preachers, tory politicians, and bar
room suckers, southern bondage must
be the happiest of all states on earth,
yet these darkies are so ungrateful
that they a0W not stay, but leave by
scores to work in the Union lines or
even shoulder a musket in defence of
the stars and stripes! We know of
no remedy for this state of things un-
less the old and young masters 90 to
work themselves, or else get the fel-
lows here who eXtol slavery as a mod
ern paradise to go down south, take
possession of the happy homes of the
contrabands, and like dutiful serfs 90
to work for the christian masters,
in return gratefully receiving so much
corn, so much meat, and an indie Unite
quantity of stripes for their services!

asA- The annual session of the Grand
Lodge of Penna. Independent Order
Of Good Templars, recently assembled
in Harrisburg, unanimously adopted
the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, We have again assembled
in Grand Lodge session, and contrary to
our most ardent hopes and wishes, rebels
and Infamous traitors are still threatening
and aiming at the very vtals of our once
peaceable and happy country, and seeking
to destroy the greatest aud noblest Govern
ment that ever existed upon Gods foot
stool; therefore, at this time all public or
ganizations should stand fairly and unmis
takably on the side of liberty and free
government; therefore,
ResOtUed, That the members of this
Grand Lodge feel it privilege as we'll as
a duty to again renew our vows of fidelity
to our country.
Resoioed, That we heartily approve of
all the measures that have been adopted by
the Government to purge the Nation of
the cause OF the rebelion-slavery, and
that the future peace and prosperity of our
country can only be permanently attained
by conquering or destroying the armies of
the rebels, and enforcing submission to
the powers that be throughout the entire
land.
ReSolCed, That we believe that much of
the inhuman barbarity committed by the
rebels in violation of the usages Of war
might be traced to excessive indulgence
IN alcoholic drinks, and further believe
that the use of liquors in our own army
has already caused more decrepitude and
death than the pestilence of hospitals or
the malaria of swamps; therefore, be it
further
ResoI0ed, That it is the duty of the
Government to hanish entirely from the
army Intoxicating liquors of every name
and kind, and thereby prevent the many
sad and fatal blunders of drunken officers
and save the young and unsuspecting in
the army from contracting habits that will
destroy their future usefulness in this life
and rob them of all hope of immortal ioys
IN the hte which is to come.
