the mwm mm Raftsman's Jaunial, BY SAMUEL J. BOW. CLEARFIELD. AUG-. 1863.

OTTi MIGHTS ABE TNVADED This cry, raised by dishonest and design- fug demagogues, says the Erie Gazelle, is calculated to touch a cord in the popular heart and to elicit a decided response. The citi-sena of our country are ever jealous of their rights. This is natural and proper. Men awake quickly to the cry of "invaded rights," and many become indignant, without stopping to inquire whether it be true or false. "Our rights are invaded." When, where and how Has any-body but rebels jp arms invaded the rights of American Freemen lias any loyal man been disturbed in the enjoyment of bis rights, except by rebel invasion In this way only have the personal or public rights of our citizens been touched.

Our Government has laid its arm'on none but avowed traitors, and pnt them where their nefarious work could not be prosecuted. And yet we hear loud complaints respecting "invaded rights What, indeed, are the rights of an American Is he to accept the right of protection in person and property and give no corresponding pledge of loyalty to the Government 1 Is he to enjoy facilities for trades and commerce, grow rich under the fostering influences ot Government, and yet feel no obligation to that Government? We have those in every com Tnunity who presume to think so. Let us not deceive ourselves or be deceived bv other in- this matter. With a uoble-mitided and just President, who is strongly averse to all forms of oppression, and who- is determined to sustain and protect all Constitntion-kjvtng, law-abiding people, let us cherish and cultivate a spirit ol devotion to the Goverunieut and. join our hearts and hands in a resolute effort to maintain it against the machinations ot traitors both in the North and South.

This is the true course the only course by which the Union cau be saved and our 'rights" defended and established. VALLAWDIGHAM'S DEPENDENCE. Vallandigbam seems to be losing ground. Everywhere throughout Ohio scores of loyal democrats are deserting his standard. Thus the American Union, published at Steubeos-ville, which for thirty yeara haa been the organ of the democrats of Jefferson county, refuses utterly to suport the Vallandigbam ticket, emphatically declaring 'We, as an editor, stand to-day where we did the first day the first gun was fired on -Fort Sumpter.

Nearly the whole party stood with us then, as we believe it docs now. We will not be intimidated or wheedled iuto a wrong position. We will stand between the camps of the Israelites and Philistines, and we can- ery in the hour of degeneracy woe to the leaders ot the great democratic party, until, like ancient Nineveh, the people will awake and come up to the pui ificttion ot the democratic temple, and overthrow those who are trying to place the party in a false position. This will be done." Vallandigbam himself is doubtless satisfied that be cannot possibly succeed. A rebel letter written taShelby ville, the 18th says that 'Vallandigbam declared, when there, that his election depended upon the fate of Vicksburg." That depeudence having entirely failed, Vallandighaiu has probably concluded that he must still remain in the "private station." EEBSL BARBABIrIES 15 TEN5ZSSFE.

The Nashville Union, of the 221 narrates the following "Mr. Bell, living eighteen miles from Clarksvilln, was robbed one night last week of one thousand dollars by a patty of Confederate soldiers. Learning that be bad two thousand dollars in gold in addition, they dragged Mm from his bouse into the woods, and bending a small sapling, they fastened a rope roand his neck and tied tbo other end to the bending sapling, then let the young tree swing upwards and dangle the victim, writhing in pain, between heaven and earth. After a few moments hanging, they let him down again, and asked him if he would tell where the gold was secreted, lie answered as before, that be could not, as be had never badht. They pretended to doubt bis earnest assertions, and hung him no less than seven times.

When be was let down the last time he was so near dead that the devils thought longer torture would be and taking the one thousand dollars left him to bis fate. He was found in a helpless and almost dying condition, and carried to the bouse by bis friends. lis recovery id thought to be very doubtful. A GOOD SUGGESTION. The Louisville Journal makes the following pointed suggestions to a class of persons known as "grumblers ,11 any body is dissatisfied with Federal money, let him go South and get Confederate money.

If any body is dissatisfied with United States taxes, let biro go South and pay Southern taxes. If any body is dissatisfied with the United States enrolment, let him go South, and enjoy the benefits of the Southern Conscription." The proposition is a plain one. Let those wbo are disposed find tault with the conscript ion act, and every other measure that baa been adopted for the suppression of the BebellioD, choose between the two. If they are the friends of the South, (and their grumbling would indicate that tbey are,) let them take up their abode with their "Southern brothers," and then the country will know how to deal with tberu. An open enemy is to be admired bat a sneaking, cowardly foe deserves only the sneer and contempt of brave men.

SERVED THEM BIGHT. Several barns belonging to loyal men, one of them an enrolling officer, having been burned in Harford county some Copperheads, "as a means of preventing and deterring the proper official authorities from the enforcement of the enrolment act and draft of militia in that county," GenTSchneck issued an order assessing the amount of damage upon the openly expressed disloyal citizens ia the immediate vicinity of the property destroyed which apportionments are to be paid within three days after notice shall bare been given. This is just and proper! Those who counsel and encourage and incite to lawless practicea.should "pay the piper" for their temerity. The loyal citizens of Newark, New Jersey, re organising to their several wards for the purpose of. enabling the authorities, In' any emergency-that may r4eer to promptly and thoroughly enforce the laws.

In other parts of New Jersey similar movements are making. A FATBIOTIC WOMAN. The Albany Evening Journal tells the following At Plattsburg. the other day, a man of no very great loyal pretentions called on a widow and informed her that her only son was drafted, and then hastened to tell her that be could secure bis exemption if she would certify that she was a widow, and that he was her only son, and that she was dependent on him fir support. The patriotic lady made the following reply "1 can certify to no such thing, I am not dependent on my son for support, and I never expect to be.

Besides, I think be ought to go, if he is able to perform military duty, and every other able bodied man, till this wicked rebellion is put down. Nothing but the necessity ot wearing these skirts has kept me from going." Emigration from Continental Europe. A recent Antwerp letter says The number of emigrants who sailed from Antwerp last year (or America was but small. This season, however, uo less than fifteen hundred have left this port for new homes iti tbo New World. Tbey are almost entirely from the interior German provinces, and are generally quite well off one family recently taking with tbem lull a million of francs.

Almost all who have chosen this place as their point of embarkation are going to St. Paul, as the State ot Minnesota finds special favor in their eyes Of course, this emigration is not on so extensive a scale as in Ireland, but it embraces a class of persons fully as desirable persons who add nut merely individuals but wealth to our population. Tho Atrocics riots in New York, the robberies, tbe buruing of an Orphan's Asylum are passed over very gently by Democratic newspapers. This is not surprising. Why should tbey denounce the men who carry the city of New York for tbe Democratic party 1 Tue persons they murdered had no votes and the only printing offices they raob-ed were those of Black Republican journals How can the editors who write three columns againt abolitinoihts to three lines against traitors find fault with men who only assail abolition printing offices, who hurrah for Jeff.

Davis. No wonder Gov. Seymour addressed them as "friends." He expects their votes on future occasions. It was right that he should be tender of their lives and feelings. Enrollemt Papers Carried Orr.

On the night of the I8tb July, some person or persons unknown, by means of a ladder, entered the back window of the office of the Provost Marshal of Bradford county, in the town of Troy, and stole therefrom all the books, papers, vouches, blanks, appertaining and belonging to the draft in that Congressional district. The theft Is believed to have been the work of some cowardly Copperhead. It is apprehended that this robbery will cause a suspension of the draft in tbe district for some weeks, as a vast amount of labor must be per formed before the papers can again be made ready for drafting. Lament Over Capture The Richmond Dispatch of tbe 27th says: This capture of Morgan's men is a distressing blow to the Confederacy. It has stood, aud can still stand, harder, hut the pride of the people was very much interwoven with the achievements of Morgan.

We do not like to judge after the result, but it seems to us that the expedition which puts, a river, navigable and unfordable for hundreds of miles and fully commanded the whole distance by tbe enemy's gunboats between himself and all assistance, must have been rash and fool-hardy. Nevertheless he has done tbe enemy great damage in this long A Rebfl Officer Gives it Up A letter has been received at Washington by a brother of a distinguished rebel officer and engineer captured hy Gen. Grant at Vicksburg, wherein that officer says "The capture of Vicksburg and our army is fatal to our cause. We can never reorganize another army in tbe West." Tbe war may go on for some time with guerrilla fighting, which, I think, would be unworthy of the country, and which I will Dot approve. have played a big game and lost.

As soon as I am exchanged, I shall leave tbe Confederacy and tbe cause for E-nrope." A Mobile paper, in alluding to the reports which iiad reached tbe South of the New York riot, openly claims that the riot was the result of Democratic" principles, but thinks that Vallandigbam, Wood could not eSect any formidable organization outside the Urge cities, and does not therefore hope much from the outbreak. It also thanks a friend for furnishing copies of late Northern Copperhead papers, tbe sentiments of which surprise and please the rebel editor. 4 -x THE VAIXANDIGHAMS MOTHEB AND BBOTHEB. We see it stated in one of our exchanges that the Rev. James L- Vallandigham, a brother of the great "snuffed out" C.

L. Val-laodighatu, was lately arrested for some reason, which can only be divined by tbe suggestive information that "he took the oath of Allegiance, and was released." This Reverend gentleman lately published a card denying tbe charge that his brother, the Hon. Clement L-, had "permitted their aged mother to be supported in part, or in whole, by the church to which she belongs." Without-waiting to inquire why the Reverend Mr. Vallandigham did not deny that he had been a party to this shameful outrage, we submit some official information touching this charge of voluntary pauperism. Tbe character of the gentlemen whose names are appeuded, and the nature of tbe testimony, settle ttie fact beyond all question or denial.

It is worthy of notice that the first payment Iroui a charity tund lor the support ot an aged and destitute widow, was made at about the same period of time that her distinguished son drew tbe first installment ol bis salary of $3,000, as a member ot Congress. It is paiutul to think what would be the con dition of Mr. family and friends, if he were elected to a still higher positiou with a salary of but $1,800 per annum. We commend the subject to the consideration of such of bis partisans as are indulging fond hopes of hi.i elevation to the Gubernatorial chair: Hubbard, June. 17.1863.

Dr. E. Mygatt Dear Sir Can you inform us whether the Presbytery ol the Presbyterian Church of this District have at any time appropriated money for tho support of Mrs. Vallandigbam, the mother of Clement L. Vallandigham.

If they have, bow much, and when. Will you be kind enough to give us such information as you deem perfectly reliable in this matter. Please direct a letter to either of us to Youngstown, Ohio. Respectfully, Madison Powers, William Powlks. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JOUBNAL Poland, July 11, 1863.

Messrs. Madison and William Powers Grcii-tlkukn Excuse my so long delaying to an swer your favor ot June 17ih, ia the matter of cimritabl support to Mrs. Vallandigbam, The delay was in consequence ot my wish to furnish you authentic and undoubted evidence in the premises. In reply to my inquiries of Mr. George II.

Van Gelder, Treasurer of the Trustees of the General assembly Charitable Fund, I have received the following reply Copy. "Philadelphia, July 7, 1863. "Dear Sir: According to your request, I herewith give you an account of money paid to Mrs. Vallandigham out of the "Funds for Disabled Ministers und the needy Widows and Orphans of Deceased Ministers, as taken from my book ot original entries for several years past, and for which I hold her receipts as my vouchers Sept. 17, 1859, paid Mrs.

U. Van Gelder, "Treas. of Trustees of Gen. As. Ch.

Fund." You are probably aware that this fund is rained by voluntary contributions from year to year, but it is not a permanent or fixed fund like that of the Methodist and other churches, none receiving aid except the widows and orphans of deceased and indigent Ministers, and these cases are represented each year to the Presbytery of the District here tbey reside, wben tbe cases are debated and an order issued or not as the case may be. I hope, gentlemen, that the above will be satisfactory to you, and that you will have the correspondence published, as it might perhaps save trouble to others in making the same enquiries. If you wish I will send you the original correspondence. I am, gentlemen, yours most respectfully, E. Mtoatt.

Effect of Morgan's Raid. A letter from a gentlemar in Salem, says: "It would do you or any one good to hear the Copperheads (that used to le) curse the Se-cesh. They have got their eyes opened wide. One man told them that they ought not to take his horse, for he was their friend, had always stood up for them, One of the rebs struck him on the head with his gun and knocked him off his horse, and told him that he did not come to talk politics, but he wanted his horse. They got it.

We are all Union men now, together with the women and children. Tub Evansville, Journal learns from a private letter, that tbere is great excitement at Olney, Ills. that business has been suspended for three days, and that the citizens are under arms. A sort of imitation of the New York mob has been raging there. A mob, of 500 were surrounding the place, and threatening- to burn it unless the enrolment lists are given up.

Tho citizens were determined to protect tbe lists at all hazards against the Copperheads. The Confiscation Act. The question of an amendment to the confiscation act, so that the property of traitors once confiscated shall pass from them and their heirs forever, is being discussed by Congressmen, and will lie brought up early in the next session. The law is now construed that alter the death of the traitor the estate reverts to bis heirs, which renders the intended work iDg of the act practically void. Tbe "arbitrary arrest" in the case of John Morgan furnishes certain tender souls in the North "cause" for complaint, of which, to' be true to their profession, tbey mnst avail themselves.

Abraham Lincoln will, we presnme, be denounced as the most cruel of tyrants unless he consents to the immediate, liberation of this notorious outlaw Kentucky Traitor Convicted. In theU. S. Circuit Court at Louisville, on Friday, Judge Bland Ballard sentenced Thomas C. Sbackleft, convicted of treason, to ten years imprisonment in the Jefferson County fine of $10,000 and to have his slaves emancipated.

Mad tbe "soaiks" of the Copperhead or-gau of this place, on account of our str ictures upon tbeir "moonshine" story. Tbey did'nt bite anybody, as yet; but tbey snapped very fiercely last week. t-? from Philipsburg, Pa. Philipsbcro, Penn'a, Ang. 1, 1863.

Dear Journal: At long last lam able to inform 'all tbe world and the rest of mankind" that the' Tyrone Clearfield Rail Road is completed to Philipsburg, and in a few days tbe long looked for "pair of 'em cars" will have made their debut on tbe virgin soil of this "old town." I remember the time when the rail road, just finished, was first agitated by our citizens. Meetings were held but the audiences were abont as slim as the copperhead caucuses of the present time. Doubts were largely in the ascendant. The "lordsTof the soil" viewed it with a suspicion of curtailing the internal revenue of tbeir "old stockings," their farms would become a howling wildernessjinhabited by branch rail roads, switches, sidings, and snorting, hissing, rampant iron horses, consuming no grain, but on the contrary, bawling across the mountain more at one trip than they bad ever been able to comprehend, and thereby glutting the market, aud grain would go down to a very low figure, lowjer than they could possibly afford to grow it on their fertile farms. Lumbermen and owners of coal lands were about tlje only friends tbe R.

R. had. But now all are its friends. The farmer sees that with the march of. improvements, the country is rapidly increased in population, and consequently the demand for all the products of their farms is" much greater, and advanced in price beyond their most sanguine expectations.

Our town is now on the high road to perfection in numerous ways, improvements, business, population, society, and everything requisite to the making of an No. 1, town. For heaPh, it is unequalled, the pure mountain air, boundless forests, sparkling streams filled with speckled beauties, and towering hills that are in the vicinity serves to make the town a healthy one, and a place that the invalid can visit without any doubt of being benefited. The day is not fir distant when Saratoga, Newport, Cape May, and Bedford Springs will bo among the things that were, and Philipsburg the Italy of America, and the Delphi of the world. Coming events casts their shadows before them.

Our hotels are filled with sojourners, now enjoy ing the salubrious and braceing clime of the Alleghanies. -There seems to be some "body hurt" at your conespondents communications and particularly the one that appeared in your columns on the 2d of July. I notice a pair of "squibs" ot very small "bore" in the Republican of this week. "Citizen," with his blank cartridge, seems to have retired from active duty, and "Demas" takes up his weapon having "A Democrat" on his personal staff. They both bail "Leroi" for telliDg a lie, because "Citizen" made the lie.

I would tell De-mass and A Democrat, to put on tbeir specs and read over Leroi's letter, that they say Citizen replied to, carefully, and then announce that I am a liar if tbey can find that I called the militia that went from this place Abolitionists, or any other political party, creed or faction, and that all "extensive property holders are copperheads." "A Democrat" seems to be "mortally wounded" and says that he is "as good a Democrat as Citizen." Well, my poor fellow, I am doubtful of your recovery, if you are no better. I am afraid that the virus of Copperheadism is so completely instilled into you, that you must go the way of all traitors, hemp awaits yon. I have always kept aloof from party, in my correspondence to the Journal." Copperheads I class in the same boat as rebels, traitors, secessionists, abolitionists and all other clans, isms or factions, that are not union out and but thorough going war men. When the war broke out we all remember what an excitement existed. In our county, as in many others, war meetings were called, and the monied men were asked to come forth and subscribe towards a fund for the maintenance of soldiers' families.

A meeting was held at Bellefonte. Our citizens bad timely notice, and we would suppose that the "extensive land holders" ot Philipsburg put down their thousands. How stands the record 1 Two men, neither of them being "extensive land holders," attended the meeting; one a Republican, tbe other "A Democrat" in every sense of the word. Tbe Republican put down $500; the other man was perfectly willing, but was a mechanic, had a large family to support, and of course could not be expected to put anything down. But where are all tbe rest ot the "extensive land holders" of the patriotic town of Philipsburg; Republicans and Democrats? Many of them possessed dollars where Deitber of those two had cents.

Where 1 yes, echo answers where Why at home brim full of patriotism, war to the hilt, but "nary a nick." No indeed, "a tender spot is we can't endure it." And so it has been from that time to this, not a "red" has been given directly to the prosecution of the war. True, some grocers, merchants, have credited the wives, of soldiers but I do assure you they "read the papers" and keep a sharp eye on the whereabouts of the paymaster, and when the wives receive their packages by Express, they soon enquire for the "boys," and "when did you hear from them?" "are they paid yet?" and so on until tbe proper time to pop the question, "did he send you any greenbacks?" Yet they say they are doing more for the war than any other set of men in town. And they re, but it is the war for the increase of the "worth less" greenbacks to their pile. Such men Would draw iron tears down Plato's cheek." Yours, Lkroi. Letter from Fort Reno, We are in receipt of a lengthy letter from our correspondent W.

R. dated "Camp at Fort Reno, July 22d," giving a detailed account of an expedition sent from Yorktown to destroy she railroad bridges over tbe North and South Ann and to cot off transportation to Geo. Lee from which we give sever, al extracts. The division.to which our friend belongs, left Suffolk on the 21st of June, and on July 4th destroyed the bridges alluded to. "Oh the morning of the 6th, the detachment returned to Taylorsville.

Towards noon prepcratiens were being made to return; bat our forces were not the only ones that were preparing to travel towards the White House. The entireore of Taylor, with one or two exceptions, evinced a wonderful partiality to the and expressed a decided determination to accompany them. They in their turn in order to take their effects a-long impressed all the mules and wagons belonging to the estate into their service. Many of the slaves on the surrounding plantations caught the infection, and soon we bad reinforcements to the number of two or three hundred, and before we left the place, Taylor and bis choice property two beautiful quadroons were by a little peculiar persuation induced to go with us. He bad driven bis wife off several years ago and having no legitimate daughters remaining with him, this last move cleaned out all that remained of the Taylor family." "On the 13th, we arrived at Hampton miles from Fortress Monroe.

The place has not improved much, since we were there six months ago. We remained there till the14th, when we reembarked for Portsmouth, arriving abont 2 p. tn. On the 15th, we marched out to this place, five miles from Portsmouth, on the southern branch of Elizabeth river.having travelled by land and water during our absence about 250 miles. We are likely to remain here for some time to come, as all the rest of the troops have been sent away Cor-coran's command being the last to leave.

The results of the expedition may be summed tip as follows Captured in all 200 prisoners, 80 wagons, about 500 horses and mules, run off about 2000 negroes, destroyed communication with Lee, tore up and brought a-tay about 10 miles of the rails ot the West Point R. Road, and kept a considerable force about Richmond, which would doubtless otherwise have been sent to reinforce Lee. The cheering news which has reached us during the month of the fall of Vicksburg, Port Hudson, Gettyshurg, from west of the Mississippi, from Tennessee, from Sherman, from Drury's Bluff, and the progress of Gil-more at Charleston, have had the most inspiriting effect upon tbe men, and we begin to discern, in the near future, unmistakable signs of the end, and if our armies are successful for the next month, rebellion will be on one leg. But amidst all our bright anticipations, we have to bow our heads in shame for the disgraceful riots which have been instigated by the Copperheads of New York city, and other Notwithstanding their resistance to law, we have the assurance that they have accomplished nothing of advantage to them, and that the draft still goes on, while many of the dupes of the treasonable teachings of the northern traitors will suffer criminal prosecutions for tbeir pains. Verlly.trea-son at tbe North is at a discount since the rebel raid.

Gen. Foster, the new commander of the consolidated department of Virginia and North Carolina, paid us a visit day before yesterday, and inspected tbe troops of this Division. He looks the military chief all-over. While on the Pininsula we received an order transferring this Division from the 9tb to the 7th Aimy Corps, aud are now the 2d Division of tbe 7th corps. My lettei tor its lack of interest is already to long.
