Facts for the People.
It is well in these critical times, when a
haughty aristocracy has attempted the sub
version of our Government, and failing in
that, seeks by force of arms to divide our ter
ritory, and destroy our nationality, that we
should study well the lessons of the past, as
well as the present, in regard to the history
and geography of our country.
ora oriodt.
In the beginning the people emigrated to
these shores; hut not the monarchy, the aris
tocracy, the hierarchy. Wilderness homes, log
cabins, conflicts with savage beasts, and witli
savage men. as well as with those mighty for
ces ol nature which were to be met and con
quered, lmd no charms for these gentry; and
so, thank God, we got rid of them by simply
leaving them behind. Thus this scion ol the
old Anglo Saxon stock, translated in the soil
of the New World, was left to grow w ithout
the burden of th.se parasites. Society w ith
us, with simply the Bible, the habeas corpus,
the right of trial by jury, the great principles
of Magna Cliarta, the constitutional lights of
Englishmen, as Anally settled by the Revolu
tion of 1088, was left to grow, untratnineled by
the barbarous usages of pagan times—laws
which had been made for the few, and not for
the many—and the ett'ete politics of the Old
World. We were left free to choose all that
was good in lands from which we catne. and
to discard all that was base and worthless.—
Hence our growth in population, in arts, in
arms, in civilization, and in religion has been
without precedent.
Two and a half centuries ago, when the pow
er of old Spain hud culminated, ire had no ex
istence at all. Two centuries ago, when the
glory of France and the power of the Bour
bons were at their zenith, our infant nation
consisted of but a few feeble settlements, ex
tending from the Piscataquis to the James
River, scarcely extending thirty miles inland,
except upon the navigable waters, and these
were struggling with numerous and poweriul
savage tribes, even for tln-ir existence. A cen
tury later, even, they extended only from the
Kennebec to the Altatnahs, and were not only
contending with the savages, hut also with the
French and .Spanish, tiir their territory, their
right to the fisheries, and for their lives.
Ol’B TERRITORY—WHAT IT HAS COST US.
The intelligent reader will have a good map
of the United States before him, as he reads,
and a reference to it will illustrate the follow
ing geographical facts with the greatest clear
ness and force. The statistics are authentic,
and tell their own story.
At the time of the Declaration of our Inde
pendence, when we boldly stood tip against
the most powerful nation in Europe for the
achievement of a separate and distinct nation
ality, we hardly exceeded 2.500,000. And
at the close of the war of the Revolution, sev
en years later, our population was comprised
in thirteen feeble .Stales, lmt recently depend
ent colonies, almost wholly confined to the
eastern slope of fie Alleghunies, hardly
amounting to 3,0()0,oo>—not so many as New
England, or the single State of New York now
contains, and far inferior in wealth and re
sources, without a federal government, without
an army, without a navy, without treaties w ith
foreign powers, and without a national treas
ury ; while we w ere oppressed with a national
debt of $73,000,000. which would be more than
equal to $1,000,000,000 now.
!>..* .. .i . I*...!,..... 1 .. ... l... ». . .
formed; profitable treaties with foreign na
tions have been made; our army and navy
have lieen created; a treasury has been filled :
the original debt and another besides have
long since been paid with ease: our popula
tion, pouring over the tops of the mountains,
as with the tread of an earthquake, has trav
eled westward at the rate of seventeen miles a
year; has already Hlled'top the eastern portion
of the valley of the Mississippi, and crossing
the “father of waters,” lias founded large and
flourishing states upon its western banks,some
of which are larger in area than all England,
and are bigger even than France. And still
the mighty tide of human life rolls on resistless
toward tile setting sun, founding powerful
states upon the distant shores of tlie Pacific,
a land, which, even within the memory of man,
was terra incognito.
In 1803. at an expense of $15,000,000, we
purchased Louisiana ol France, w hich gave us
the entire possession of the valley of the Miss
issippi, the largest ami most fruitful on tile face
of the globe, which extends north and south
through nearly the entire temperate zone, and
whielt gives us access to the Gulf of Mexico in
that direction. In 1810, for $5,000,000, we al
so purchased the peninsula of Florida of Spain,
which comprises 58,000 square miles—more
than is contained in all England and Wales.
This not only completes the integrity of our
territory in that direction, liut also brings us
witliin a day's sail of Cuba, the Queen of the
Antilles.
Iu 1845 we annexed Texas, W'ith an immense
and fertile area of 225,000 square miles, lieing
almost as large as France and Spain, and capa
ble of supporting a larger population, lit 1848,
three years later, we pushed our territory to
tlie Rio Grande, where we nearly touch the
northern tropic, and, by joint conquest and
purchase, secured the immense territories of
New Mexico and Upper California, by which
we extended our posessions on the Pacific from
latitude 32 deg. to 45 deg. north, where we
meet the dominion of Queen Victoria
A portion of this teritorv is already erected
into the large and flourishing state of Califor
nia, making, when admitted, the thirty-first of
the Republic, thus transposing the figures with
which we began our national existence. This
state alone contains 105/100 square miles, near
ly as large as all Great Britain, and far superi
or in mineral, agricultural, and commercial
resources. '1 ids state, though but ten year old,
is already dotted with numerous ami wealthy
commercial cities, whose streets and through
fares are thronged with an active, intelligent,
and enterprising polyglot population, whose
harbors are tilled with the fleets of the mer
chantmen of all nations, and which have ex
ported gold to the amount of $50,000.000 per
annum; while flourishing schools, colleges,
ami churches are springing up in all directions
to hless the land with their regenerating pow
er.
This same rich and beautiful land, with the
same soil, the same climate, the same produc
tions, and »ilh similar commercial facilities,
was in the hands of Spain and Mexico for one
hundred and ten years. Bat none ot these
great riches were developed till it fell into the
hands of the United States.
Our claim to the immense ami fertile terri
tory of Oregon, containing about 350,000
square miles, and almost equally as rich in
agricultural, mineral, and commercial advan
tages as ( aliforuia itself, is founded upon the
right of discovery; Cupt. Gray, in the ship
Columbia, of Boston, having sailed into the
Pacific in 1783 on a voyage to the north-west
coast, ami discovered the mouth of the great
river of the west, flowing toward the setting
sun, to which he gave the name of his little
ship.
At the time of the formation of our govern
ment, in 1780, our settled territory included
but little more than 8U>,000 square miles, ami
was mostly confined to the eastern slope of
tlie Alleghanies. It now stretches across the
entire continent, from one ocean to the other,
with an area ol 20 deg. on the Atlantic coast,
of 10 deg. on the Pacific, and 50 deg. of long,
and having 3.314.000 square miles; a national
domain nearly as large as all Europe, witli her
fifty-nine distinct states and governments, and
far richer in soil, climate, and productions and
commercial facilities, and more capable of
supporting a large and prosperous population.
This territory produces all the grasses, cere
als. ami fruits of tile temperate regions, to
gether with the rice, cotton, tobacco, and su
gar. as well as some of the fruits of more sun
ny dimes; and even tlie grape here flourishes
in great perfection. It also affords all kinds
of stone, both lor building and artistic purpos
es; all the useful kinds of timber, including
some not found at all in other countries. For
instance, thirty species of the oak, among
which is the live oak, so superior for ship
building to all other kinds. It also produces
iron, lead, copper, silver, and gold, above all
other countries: while, what is far more im
r.Ult iMMMUt It IlllUtll
limit,affording enough fuel to last us us thous
ands of years, while Pennsylvania alone will
afford oil to match.
All tlie natural features of our great country
are also on the grandest and most magnificent
scale, as though Divine Providence intended
it for the theatre of the most stupendous
events in the world's history, and which we
most devoutly believe to be the fact.
We are a great country and a great people.
A natio ♦sjith half the continent in its pocket,
and the best half of it too. We can afford to
let tlie aristocracy of this little island across
the water abuse us for a time. H'e con lire
without them but they cannot lire without ug.
And further, we cannot forget at tills time
what this territory has co-t us. Virginia,
North and South Carolina, and Georgia were
conquered, at a vast expense of treasure and
blood, from the British in tlie Devolution. Of
231,000 tuen employed in the Continental ar
my, these States furnished but 43,000, which
being utterly inadequate to their own defense,
the North w as compelled to supply tlie de
flcieucy, or to see them still remain colonies
of Great Britain, as a majority of three of
these states were willing to lie. And lienee a
portion of the war debt of 1791, of $!l3,Ooo.OOO.
Florida, Louisiana, and Texas have cost tlie
nation, for purchase money, interest on tlie
same, payment of debt, iuiileimrty,boundaries,
removal of Indians, Seminole and Mexican
w ars, w ith pensions arising out of them, tlie
sixty years past,about,Dil8,000,0(0 besides val
uable lives. And to ail this is to be added
w hat it lias cost us for the extinguishment of
the Indian tribes, and for their removal in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and
the two Carolinas; and to which is to be fur
ther added tile $8,000,000 of surplus revenue
disbursed to tlie seceded States in 1830.
Hence one answer to tlie question, "Wlmt do
you waul tlie South for?" is, we have bought
it and paid for it, and it is ours.
There can be no such word as “separation”
in our national vocabulary. The patriotism of
our people will not allow designing dema
gogues, and disappointed and discomfited
politicians, acting with Southern or Northern
secessionists, to sever tis in twain or change
the original spirit and purpose of our Govern
ment. It cannot, it must not he so. Let the
friends of the Union and a Constitutional Gov
ernment stand tlrm, and all w ill lie well.
Experience of n Prisoner.
The following letter is from a Clerk in Gen.
Dope's Department, who was tal en prisoner
by tlie rebels in tlie raid of Gen. Stuart:
Washjxgtox, I). C., Oct. 8, 1802.
As you w ill recollect tlie night of the 22<lof
August was a very dark and rainy one, one
couldn't see Ids hand four inches from his eyes
except when it lightened. 1 was tired and
hungry, and as our cook had not come up
when night eame, two of its got up a tent, and
1 turned in at dark. Wet, tired and hungry, 1
fortunately did'ut take off anything, but threw
myself down just a_s I was, and in a moment was
fast asleep. I had slept as it turned out, about
three hours, when 1 wa* awakened by an aw
ful yelling (I can't describe tlie noise, it w as
so different from anything I ever heard,) and
.tin1 reports of*pistols very near me. 1 got to
tlie door of the tent, when some one says, tlie
rebels abe on us. I could'rit get it through my
brain as 1 was’ut more than half awake, but
‘...»II noo CIVUIG UI mu unu liu.ll Ull il
spree, for I could'nt imagine that tlic rebels
could get at us, when we were fifteen miles in
the rear of our army; but anyhow I got my
knapsack and put my blankets in it and my
rubber blanket on, and started out for the wa
gons to see what was up. Just then the reb
els rode through the woods again, hollowing
at the top of their voices, and shooting right
and left and through all of the tents as they
saw them as the lightning flashed. I went to
the wagons, and finding no one there, started
back and had gone about half way to my tent,
when three or four shots were fired at me, and
some half dozen surrounded me, and ordering
the “ d—d Yankee son of a — ” to surrender,
throw down my arms, Ac. I saw there was
no use trying to do anything and was taken
back into the woods to where Brig. Gen. Stu
art was, but before reaching Gen. Stuart, one
of the men ordered the d — d Yankee son,— ”
A-e., to hand him my rubber. It was raining
hard, and I had’nt anything to keep the rain
oil' but that; yet I had to give it.up.
After reaching Gen. Stuart, he of course ask
ed me a great many questions, but I don’t
think he got much information out of me; fi
nally he told one of the men to let me have
one of the captured horses, as 1 didn’t look
very well. I remained near Gen. Stuart from
about 11 o'clock P. M., Friday, until about 5
o'clock A. M., Saturday, when the Cavalry
took up its liue of march for Warrenton. 1
didn't see any other prisoners that night or
morning, and I supposed that I was the only
one captured. They promised that if I would
behave myself, I should be parolled at War
renton that day. We reached Warrenton
about 7 o’clock, A. M. The day was beautiful.
The whole town turned out to meet the rebels.
I saw more women that morning, twice over,
than I ever saw in W. before, though I had
been there two or three times. They then
took me down towards the Springs, and on
the road I found that they had taken some 300
of our men. Well, we all marched to the
Springs, 7 miles, and during the night ride, the
rebels stole my blankets, knapsack, over-coat
and shawl. We readied the Springs about
noon, and shortly after it commenced raining
very hard, and then I was almost sick, without
any coveriug, neither had I got anything to
eat. They kept us in an open field, about 1
mile from the crossing of the Rappahannock.
I saw Gens. Lee and Jackson as we crossed
the bridge. A little before dark that night, we
had just got as comfortable as circumstances
would permit, w hen over came a shell close by
us. The rebels said it was the “Flying Dutch
man,"’ (Gen. Sigel) so they started us off in a
great hurry, and marched us about 0 miles,
and put us iu the woods for the night. We
stayed there three days, and during all this
the infantry men were passing, and all this
time we had no rations given us. I tell you I
was nearly starved. Finally, on the fourth day
about uoou, we started off for Culpepper. I
had taken cold, and every limb was stiff and I
could hardly walk. We walked until long af
ter dark, and got within about a mile of C. be
fore we halted for the night, (a distance of 23
miles) nothing to eat here ami no prosppet of
getting anything, so the guard said, until we
got to the Rapidan river, where perhaps we
might, they said, come across their brigade
teams, and then we could get a little. You
cant imagiue how hungry I was. I asked eve
ry one I met for a mouthful and offered a gold
dollar for a piece of bread, but couldn't get it.
The next morning at daylight we were off
Spain I was verv stiff and sore thr. el-in u-•>c
all offof my feet,and l couldn’t get my boots off,
and could but just move along, I would walk
on my toes awhile and then on my heels, but
every step seemed as though it would be my
last, and I thought I must lie down, but I
knew that if I did, the guard would not hesi
tate to boyonet me, so I kept up, and finally
about 3 o’clock, we reached the Rapidau. The
river was quite high, ami the bridges all gone,
so we had to ford it,. The current was so rap
id, that I should certainly have drowned, had
not a great stout fellow almost carried me
across. I was very weak and faint and sore
that I was ready to lie down, and to crown
ail of my troubles, the blisters on my feet
burst in the water, and the sand worked
into the sore, and every step I took was mis
ery. Oh! you can’t imagine how I suffered,
and there were many others even worse off
than I, were it possible. We went about a
mile from the river, and there we got some
thing to eat, for the first time since our advent
into seccssia! We got a good sized piece of
old maggoty bacon, and five hard crackers. I
had never eaten bacon before, for I could nev
er eat fat meat, but never in my life did l
ta«te of anything so good as that bacon and
crackers. I still had my boots on,I'orl couldn’t
get them off, and they were filled with water,
and we couldn't get any wood to build fires
with, and the night was bitter cold. I couldn’t
walk to keep warm, and therefore I nearly
froze. The next morning we took the cars for
Gordousville. We had rather dirty cattle cars,
yet it was a decided improvement on walking,
1 assure you. We readied Gordousville about
noon, and were inarched up to the Provost
Marshall’s office, where our names, State and
Regiment were taken, and we were marched
off about a mile, into the woods, were we
again received rations, and remained for two
days, when we once more took the cars, and
were off for Richmond, which interesting berg
we reached at 3 or 4 o’elock, P. M., and were
marched about the town for the amusement of
the officers and men, who had us in charge,
and to exhibit the wild Yanks of the North to
the fair ladies of the interesting capitol of the
Southern Confederacy. And finally we brought
up at that interesting hole, Libby Prison
Warehouse. Five hundred and over were
put in one room. The windows were all out,
but if any one looked out, without any waver
ing the guard shot at him.
We got some bread, and a small quantity of
moat tuts ntglit, ami the next morning we
were all drawn up, and the soldiers separated
from civilians, (sutlers, drivers, <fec.,) and the
soldiers were then marched over to Belle Isle,
about two and a half miles from the prison, but
directly opposite the city, where we found
some 6000 of Yanks, about the hardest looking
set you ever could imagine could eri.it. Ev
ery one was filthy, and covered with vermin;
the sand was filled with them; notone single
person, no matter how neat he was, was ex
empt; and those who w*ere not particuior
were perfectly covered; why, one couldn’t set
down without getting some on him. There
were over 0,000 in a space of less than two
acres; you can perhaps imagine what a crowd
there was. Our rations were at 10 o'clock A.
M. We got 1-4of a small loaf of bread; once
in three days 2 oz. of fresh boiled beef; the
other two days 2-:I of a pint of what was
called beau soup, but we never discovered any
beans therein; but the top was covered with
those black bugs which you’ll always find in
old peas and beans. There was no salt >n the
soup or bread, nor on the meat, and the meat
was so old that it would spoil belore 12 M.
Sometimes at night we got another 1-4 loaf
of bread, but this was only otice in a white.
Hundreds actually died for the want of bread.
Scarcely a morning but 15 or Id were found
dead about camp, caused by lack of food, and
exposure. Matty others died during the days.
Hundreds had the scurvy, and we had uo doc
tor nor medicines.
1 was sick almost all the time I was there,
but managed to keep up.

DIAUR1KEA OR DYSENTERY
In persous of all ages, uo medicine has ever come to
the knowledge of tne public, that so effectually doe•
it work and at the same time leave* the bowels'in an
active, bealt^jy condition, as
CLEM S SUMMER CURE.
That for Children Cuttiug Teeth, if troubled with
Piarrhira or any irregularities of the bowels, all oth
or remedies are'insignificant, as compared with
CLEM S SUMMER CURE.
That fbr Children troubled with Canker in mowth
or stomach, or mothers suffering from nursing sore
mouth, a safe aud speedy cure \& effected by the use of
CLEM S SUMMER CURE.
That for Coughs, Hoarseness aud Bronchial aflbet*
ions, there is no remedy extaut that so universally
affords relief as
HOWES’ COUGH 1‘ILLS.
That for a Tightness or Wheezing in the Cheat
Fains in the side, or a long standing Hack, the best
remedy is
HOWE S COUGH FILLS.
That as an expectorant and ameliorating agent In
cases of FhthisJc, Whooping Cough, and Confirmed
Consumption, the public have already rendered their
united verdict In favor of
