By the 95th section of the Act of Assembly
of the State of Pennsylvania of I'd July, 1889,
it is enacted that


mo body of troops in the army Of the
United States, or Of this Commonwealth,
shall be present, either armed or un-
armed, at any place Of Election within
this Commonwealth, during the time of
such Election"


In order that no excuse for want of time
may be alleged, we now thus early in advance
call on Governor CURTIN that he sees to the
execution of this law in letter and spirit, at the
October elections We demand, in the name
of Democracy and State already outraged
and insulted by denial of our State authori-
ty and suppression Of its dignity, the rigid
execution of this law. All troops must be
absent from place of elections in this State on
the 18th of October next, or the Democracy
will see if the Governor dare not, that the
laws of our Commonwealth arc not trampled
down at Federal behest. 1t had better be un-
derstood thus early in the day that the farce
of the Kentucky election cannot be repeated
in Pennsylvania--that we are determined to
have free, fur and honest election according
to he fa,ps of our own Sfafe-and is the Fed
eral satrap who now rules this Province Of the
National Government fails to do his duty in
the matter, an outraged people will supply the

Few men die OF age. Almost all persons die
OF disappointment, passional, mental or bod.
lily toll, or accident. The passions kill men
sometimes even suddenly The common ex-
preston ''choked with passion" has little
exaggeratIon in it, for even though not sud
denly fatal, strong passions shorten life.-
Strong-bodied men often die young--weak
men live longer than the strong for tho
strong use their strength, and the weak have
none to use. The latter take care of them
selves; the latter do not. As it is with tho
body, so it is with the mind and temper.
The strong are apt to break, or like the can
die, run the weak bum out. The inferior
animals which live temperate lives, have
generally their prescribed term of years.
The horse lives twenty five years the OK
fifteen or twenty ; the lion about twenty the
hog ten or twelve; the rabbit eight; tho
Guinea pig six or seven. The numbers all
bear proportion to the time the animal takes
to grow to its full size, But man, of all ami
mails, is the one that seldom comes up to the
average. He ought to live hundred years,
according to this physiological law, for five
times twenty are one hundred; but instead
of that, he scarcely reaches an average of
four times the growing period. The reason
is obvlous--man is not only the most irreg-
n'ar and the most incorporate but the most
laborons and hard-worked of all animals
He is always the most irritable of all animals
and there is reason to believe, though we
cannot tell what an animal secretly feels.
that more than any other animal, man cher.
ishes wrath to keep it warm, and consumes
himself with the fire of his own reflection.

The NASHVILLE ONION was commenced last spring,
for the purpose of opposing the Rebel Southern Con
ederacy and Of advocating the restoration Of Federal
authority without any abatement, all the States
which have attempted to secede. It's object was to
proclaim the doctrines Of Liberty and Union they
we're expounded by the fathers Of the Republic,
but which for more than one year-the long and
dreary carnival Of treason-hsd been unspoken and
unwritten in the Capital Of the State Of ANDREW
JACKSON and were treasured up only in tho hearts Of
the faithful We believed that the right way to CON
duct loyal JOURNAL in city like Nashville, at such
a time as this, to raise the wavering Rud tmid
up to the true standard Of patriotism, and not to
lower the standard Of patriotism after the manner Of
some other journals suit the depraved tastes Of the
semi.loyal and sympathizors with the Richmond dy-
nasty.


The UEIos, therefore, has held as friends all who
support and as foes all who oppose the Union Of the
states. It's watchword is FRkEDoM AND NAuoNALuI.

We want TO see the land once more blessed with the
enduring sunshine Of honorable peace, based upon
the complete and unconditional submission Of the
rebels now in arms, and not lie up with the deooitful
glow Of peace bssod upon emaseplate loyalty, and

Secretary Seward and tho Troops.


On Friday last, the Nineteenth New
York State Volunteers were mustered out
of service at Auburn. They were ad-
dressed by Mr.. Seward, who was making
brief visit to his home. We quote q
portion of his speech:


Civil war divides the community, even
in those places where the Government
retains its accustomed strength and au-
thority, into two classes One that has
courage adequate to the crisis, the other
that has not Those that have the cour-
age, in other words the virtue, adequate
to the crisis, rush TO the field.


ain this large assemblage which has
come out to greet you, or to witness this
solemn ceremony of your discharge from
the public service, both of these classes
are found. We cannot distinguish, nor
is it worth our while TO attempt TO dis
tinguish, the one from the other. By
their &C o.ions hereafter they 9 al be
known. Those who are wise and virtu-
Gus will be found urging you TO return to
the field and persevere until the battle is
won, and will spare no pains, going them
selves, If possible, to recruit the ranks
which death, honorably met, has deci-
mated. Those who are otherwise will
be found still caviling about the causes
of the war, about the responsibilities of
its unavoidable defeats, about the dis
tribution of honOrs for the victories glo-
riously won; they will be found accu.
mulating treasure with one hand and
storing il away from the tax -gatherer
with the other, that they may enjoy il
after the pat iotism and heroism OF bet
ter men than themselves have secured the
triumph which will enable them to enjoy
il in safety.


ITO the young men, who | see around
me, have 10 say IL is for you to choose
TO which OF these two classes Of the
community you will attach yourselves.
If you are prepared to join the former
the greeting you give TO these cur brave
neighbors returned from the field, are as
honorable TO you as gratifying TO them
II, on the other hand, you think
more of your lives, more of your
fortunes, IN re Of your personal ex-
pectations than you think Of your ooun-
try, your sAlutalions are a mockeTy, and
the sight Of these war-wOrn veterans
ought to strike you with confusion and
shame"


Mr.. Seward closed these pungent re-
marks by saying that if he was within the
age and the conditions Of service be
would not have appeared on that "occa-
sion unless il was 30 take up the iiTelock

One of the members Of the 15t Kansas
regiment, sergeant, died in the hospi-
tai at Lake Providence, La, some few
weeks ago. After death his comrades
discovered that their companion, by the
side of whom they had marched and
fought for almost two years, was a wo-
man. She was of rather more than ave-
rage size for a woman, with rather
strongly marked features, so that with
the aid of mans attire she had quite a
masculine look She was in the battle
of Springfield, where General Lyon was
killed, and fought in a dozen battles and
skirmishes, She always sustained an
eKcelle mt reputation, both as a man and
q soldier, was brave as a lion in battle,
and never flinched from any duty or
hardships that fell to her lot She must
have been very shrewd to have lived in
the regiment so long, and preserved her
secret so we'll.

/ OF us twigs were cut half of, aud were
hanging wilted and ready to drop to the
ground. The trunk of the tree. about
ten inches in diameter, was cut and scar
red i'll every part. The fire which struck
| these trees was that which was directed
! from our muskets upon the advancing
rebels. Every tree and bush for the dis
tance of half mile along these works
was nearly rs badly marked. The storm
of outlets must have been as thick as
! hailstOnes in an ordinary storm.


How man could exist in it and come
out unhurt, is difficult to imagine.
The trees are not alone in displaying
the terrible effects of the shot. The
rocks, wherever they face toward our
breastwOrks, are thickly strippled
with dots of white On one rock
presenting a surface of about seven square
feet, bullets have left their traces in little
blurred spots, like snow flake of the
size. The missiles, hattened by contact
are lying scattered about in the leaves,
most Of them giving little sign that they
have ever been musket projectiles.


Our sharpshooters in some localities oc-
cupied novel positions. One of them
found the half of what had once been a
hollow tree, with hole left by the re-
moval of knot, facing directly
toward the ground where the rebels ad-
vanced. He was thus provided with a
convenient lOophole from which he could
fire upon the enemy. Another found a
nook between two rocks, about two feet
wide by six or eight long, and as many
high. The end of this nook was toward
the rebels, and filled up with smaller
stone. 1t made fine spot for a sharp
shooter to occupy. 1t was occupied to
good effect by one of our marksmen, as
three or four dead rebels in front of the
position give evidence. Every conceiva-
bic corner was filled with a sharpshooter
always on the lookout for the foe. 1t
was this fact that operated to slay the
rebels in larger numbers. Their loss on
the right was very heavy. though not so
much 50 rs on the left. The extreme
right of the line Is close upon a meadow
on the bank of Rock creek. Here but
few marks of the battle were seen, the
most of them being from cannon shot
that were probably thrown from single
batteries on the other side of the creek.
Lines drawn from this point to the ex-
treme left, and again from each wing,
would form a triangle with the longest





an idea of the shape of the line of battle
by picturing to himself a horseshoe, the
toe at the cemetery and the wings at the
heel The horseshoe should be widened
at the heel to make the illustration ap-
proach perfection. Officers with whom |
have conversed say the line was nearly
quarter of circle. This position gave
US great advantage over the rebels. We
could concentrate on either wing or on
the center by moving from two to three
miles Acting on the circum ference of
our outer circle, Lee W as forced to move
ten miles to make similar concentration.
By watching Lees movements carefully
General Meade was able to checkmate
him on each occasion.


CONCLUSION.


The great battle is over. The enemy is
in full retreat toward Virginia, with our
victorious army in pursuit. Ere this
reaches you the two hosts may again
measure strength.

HThe Copperhead journals proclaim
to the people that although the uestion
of Peace or War is an important one, i,
sinks into insignifcance in comparison
with the liberality of the sympsthlzers OF
the North. Their heroes are not of the
kind that have sustained the flag or the
country on the battle field but those who,
like Vallandigham, have opposed the war
from the start. Their martyrs are not
among the men who have poured out
their blood in the service OF the country,
but those who, like Jones and Mshony,
have been imprisoned for treason to their

Eyre, P.y FOR CALIFORNIA VoLuNTEERs'-We
are decidedly in favor Of our State Legislature
making nrovision for extra compensation for the
volunteers enlisted in this State we are 'he
more strongly inclined to regard this as an act
of Justice to those who have entered 'helr coun-
trv,s seryice-placed themselves OF the disposal
of the Government to defend its flag, its honor
and it's national integrity the fact that ev-
cry loyal State in the Union except ours has
made provision through their Legislatures, or in
dicated their intention to secure, through their
Executive departments, extra compensation for
all volunteers during their term of service.


Though it is the duty Of every citizen to re-
spond to the call of the Government in crisis
like the present. yet it is not less the duty of the
State Government to contribute towards making
the condition Of the brave men who volunteer in
defence of their country as comfortable as pos
sible. The inadeluacy of their pay must be ap-
parent to every one. The condition of the vol
unteers in this State differs widely from the con-
ditou of those in the Eastern States in this, that
all articles necessary for the comforts of the SOL
dier, outside OF those provided by the Govern
ment as ratons, costs from fifty to one hundred
per cent. more here than they do in the older
States.


Aside from the extra pay allowed by all OF
the Atlantic States to the Volunteers raised
therein, the most liberal bounty has also been
provided We would most earnestly call the at
tention of our Legislature to this question, and
ask that an appropriation be made to each private
now in the service, who volunteered In Calllor-
mia, of at least seven dollars per month"; addition
al compensation, and officers in proportion. 1t
may be urged by some that this is not necessary
from the fact that the volunteer force raised in
this State are principally employed in garrsoning
the forts, and therefore are not exposed to the
risks and dangers of battle, but we think such
objection ill founded. 1t must be recolected
that the troops thus employed are subject to the
call OF the Government for active service at any
moment, and that the same rigid discipline is alb
solutely necessary TO be performed and adhered
TO as though in the camps facing the foe. 1t is
not the fault of our brave volunteers that they
remain inactive nor is such inactivity congenial
10 their wishes. Officers and men are eager for
active service, and would hail the call to the
battle-felds of the South with enthusiastic JOY
We trust our patriotic Governor will remind the
Legislature by special message, of this important
duty they owe to their country. This matter
should receive the earliest attention Of that body
which in both branches is largely Union. Will
not the Sacramento Union and other leading pa
pers, loyal to the Government, suggest the course
TO pursue in this matter?
