The Disunion nominee for Governor
Goary, seems to have as little respect
for truth, as he has for the peace har-
mony and Union OF these states. We
take the following extract from the
speech made by the hero of Harpers
Ferry at York, on the 9th instant,
viz
when look around this assomblage and feel
that around me are fellow soldiers who have
borne arms with me from the first battle Of Bull
Run, not one OF two from regiment as was the
case at Harrisburg, few days ago, shystors aud
towards, skulkers and hospital bummers-I know
such is the fact, for ] have driven them from the
army myself They say they are going TO elect
Hicster Clymer. have nothing to say against
him personally.
This is the language Of Gen. Geary,
in reference to the Soldiers who at
tended the late convention at Harris.
burg, "ShysterS and copardS, skulkerS
and hospital bummerS-I kaoU such is
the fact, for hare driUen them from,
the army myself" We hope the Dis
union candidate will name some Of
those he drove from the army. ii
this public wholesale slanderer does
notreceive cow-hiding, at the hands
of some the "boys in blue" or get
posted rs a coward and liar-unlcss
he publicly retracts-we shall be much
mistaken in the material that made
up the Harrisburg convention.

Che Ai5patsicL- Scandal.

What we know personally regarding
the conduct Of Gen. Fitzpatrick, on the
voyage from New York and during his
STAY on this Isthmus, considerations for
the position he holds, and the hope that
a little experience might lead him to
resume more dignity after entering on
his duties in Chilli, prevented us nom
giving publicity to at the time, although
we believe it was our duty 70 have eN-
posed him.
Still, we should not now allude to it
were it not that he has dragged us into
the discussion, and attempted to prove
Us guilty OF misrepresentation. ON the
steamer on which he came to 4AspinWall,
the Henry Chauneey, there WAS 4 young
woman, looked upon by every decent
person on board as Il most notorious
strumpet, which her disreputable con-
duet during the passage, and aterWards
in Panama, fully confirmed. .aen. Ali.
patrick made an associate Oh this woman
TO the disgust of the passengers, Mau
eventually brought her to the captain $
table, from which she was turned away
after her second meal. His peculiar Int!-
macy with her on board attracted UNI
versal attention.
On her arrival at Aspinwall he intro
duced her to the superintendent OF the
railroad and his family as lady, and
allowed her to be entertained by them
during her stay there. This led to re-
marks afterward and then, we under
stand, the General, fearing the result,
wrote letter eXcusing his conduct on
the ground that he was not aware OF tn the

y GENTLEMAN SHOULD BE REGOG-
NIzED WHEREVER FoUND.--The fol-
lowing is from the pen of General ID. IL.
Hill, in the August number of the Gland
we Love-
We have been asked by a lady friend
how we ought to treat "ourlate enemies. ,
As her letter is without q signature, we
suspect there may be some tenderness
in the inquiry, and will therefore deal
tenderly with the subject.
1t is a safe rule to recognize the gentle
man and man of honor wherever found,
OF whatever creed, sect or nation. We
cannot understand how men who have
fought each other squarely and bravely,
can continue to hate each other after
hostilities has ceased. But we can UNI
derstand how good men of both sides
can loathe, With bitter loathing, house,
burners thieves and marauders. We
can understand the contempt honest
men feel for the cowardly miscreants
who kept out OF the manly fight to
trample upon and insult the weaker par
~ after the fight was over. We would
remind our lady friend that if the ..
S. army had It's Sherman, [rurchin
and Butler, it had also Mcclellan, Buel,
Reynolds, Sykes Gibbon, Stone, Stone
man, Franklin, etc, who conducted the
war on eiuiiized principles, and had no
deflement Of torches and silver spoons
upon their hands. We have heard Il
story ofthat great statesman and iurist,
Judge Butler, of South Carolina, which
may assist the fair lady Ill coming 70 a
decision. When the judge, then Mr..
b., was practising law, a son ofthe En-
erald Isle came into his Office and used
some very harsh language, III regard to
a charge nlade against hin BY the firm
of Butler & Co. Mr. IL. Indignantly or
dered him oat of the office. The man
instantly obeyed, but returning, he put
his head in the door and said: "NIisther
Butler, you're Il jintleman, and ] Will
never hurt the fixes Of yoa but if You
will send your partnership cut here, III
break every bone in his body" The
Southern people have no ill-ieelings to-
wards the soldiers and true gentlemen
among their late foes, but we can never
think Of the Partnership without think

General Grant avith the President.

The Radicals were jubilant because
General Grant took a short cut to De-
troit, (where, however, he was the first
man to meet and greet the President.l
They took itifor granted that both Grant
and Farragut had cut + he President
and III Philadelphia put up the most
boisterous cheers over the result. For q
few hours, Or moments only, the Radi--
calls had 4 little comfort, but now they
must go back and call Grant q time SER
yer, and Farragut something else, as
their appearance with the President at
all shocks Radical sensibilities greatly.
The Washington correspondent OF "a
Radical contemporary, says Of the Gene
raj: "zHe Coppe,hedds haro got hin1,
dadHe Republicans haze been badIy so1d.7
"A reputation has been foolishly built
up" declares the same scribbler; from
which the New York Times infers that
''Fhe great soldier of the Union is to,
be deserted by the Radical as a soldier,
because they find that he is not availa-
bic for their work as a partizan. Some
of the Radical prints which had hoisteh
the name of Grant for the Presidency,
have dropped it, usually without re.-
mark; in other instances avowedly be-
cause his relations with Andrew John
son are too friendly to be tolerated. We
imagine that General Grant will survive
the catastrophe, and may even bless his
stars for the deliveranee from Radical
embraces. The soldier who conquered
the enemies of the Union in the field.
and set an example of magnanimity in
his treatme1e Of the vanquished, can
hardly feel aggrieved by the abuse of
the stay-at home Disunionists. The
fighting rebel he might respect; the fac
ton that would accomplish the end OF
the rebellion, while claiming to be mo-
nopolists of loyalty, he cannot but de-

EN-SECRETARY HARLAN.--The WASH
ington correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Daily Nelrs draws the following
pen portrait of the late Secretary Of the
Interior:
"The retirement of Secretary Harlan
from the Cabinet, in obedience an in
timation from the President that he was
no longer needed as an d1riser, has civ
en- rise to considerable gossip in this city.
1t is well known that Mr.. Harlan be-
gan life as Il Methodist preacher, and.
that he has always been in very mode
rate circumstances, and regarded as an
honest, conscientious man of moderate
ability. When he entered upon his du-
Ties asSeeretary Of the Interior, one year,
and Il quarter ago, he announced in Il
circular addressed to the employees oil
that department that it should be GOV
erned upon the principles Of an enlight-s
ened christian civilization.
"Ruaea has it that he has recently
bought a property in this city for which
he paid forty thousand dollars, and that
he is rich in bank stocks and landed
property; all made on a salary Of eight
tlouand dollars per annum, enjoyed for
a little more than one year. This tinan-
ciering upon the principles ofan enlight-
ened christian civilization puts to the
blush everything that our popular tlnan-
cial minister has heretofore done, ever
Of raising the Wind on government
loans. + Secretary McCulloeh had
known that Mr.. Harlan understood the
alchemy of wonders Of turning every
thing into gold he touches, it is Very
probable he would not have deferred pay
ments to our soldiers under the recent
