August<\/em> 22.\u2013At Philadelphia, Pa., on the arrival of the New York train this morning, Marshal Milward and his officers examined all the bundles of papers, and seized every copy of the New York Daily News. <\/em>The sale of this paper was totally suppressed in that city.

The First regiment of Pennsylvania Cavalry, under the command of Colonel Max Friedman, passed through Baltimore, Md., on the way to Washington. The regiment is composed of ten full companies, having an aggregate of nine hundred and fifty men, of whom a large portion have seen service. They were accompanied by twenty trumpeters and buglers. The men, with the exception of fifty, were uniformed alike in a dark blue cloth jacket and pantaloons, with yellow trimmings, and a high felt hat. The horses of the command had previously been sent on to Washington, where the men will receive such arms as may be requisite.\u2013 Baltimore American, August <\/em>23.<\/p>\n

\u2013The Stark County Democrat, <\/em>a secession sheet, published in Canton, Ohio, was entirely destroyed by some volunteers of that place.\u2013 Buffalo Courier, August <\/em>24.<\/p>\n

\u2013Edwin D. Morgan, Governor of New York, issued a proclamation, urging all good and loyal citizens to use all means in their power to sustain the credit of the State and of the National Government, as well as furnish an ample response to the late call of the President for men to crush the rebellion.\u2013(Doc. 1.<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n

“Post Office Department, August 22, 1861.<\/p>\n

“Sir: The Postmaster-General directs that from and after your receipt of this letter, none of the newspapers published in New York City, which were lately presented by the Grand Jury as dangerous, from their disloyalty, shall be forwarded in the mails.<\/p>\n

“I am, respectfully, jour obedient servant,<\/p>\n

“T. B. Trott, Chief Clerk.<\/p>\n

“To the Postmaster of New York City.”<\/p>\n

\u2013Sixty-four of the leading Democrats in Vallandigham’s district, Montgomery County, Ohio, issued a circular against the “despotic and traitorous course of the Vallandigham clique.” They say: \u201cIt is the mission of the Democratic party to give strength and vigor and efficiency to the Constitution and Government when they are attacked by rebels and traitors. In the language of the lamented Douglas, ‘No man can be a true Democrat without being at the same time a loyal patriot; and there are but two positions to assume: we must either be for or against our Government \u2013either patriots or traitors.'” They pledge themselves “to unite with all loyal citizens in the defence of the nation, and in rebuking the unpatriotic action of said convention, and of the Dayton Empire, <\/em>and in supporting for office in the county of Montgomery men, irrespective of party, who are loyal to the Government by a vigorous prosecution of this war, and who in no contingency are in favor of secession.”\u2013 N. Y. Evening Post, August. <\/em>22.<\/p>\n

\u2013The steamer Samuel Orr, <\/em>an Evansville and Paducah mail packet, was seized at Paducah, Ky., and taken up the Tennessee River.

\u2013In Philadelphia, Pa., the U. S. marshal, Milward, proceeded to the office of the Christian Observer, <\/em>in Fourth street below Chestnut, and took all the type, paper, and other appurtenances of the place. He also closed up the office, and warned the persons conducting the Observer <\/em>that, on any attempt to revive the publication, they would be dealt with according to law. The indignation of the people against this sheet was rapidly culminating down to the time of its stoppage, and it was to have been torn out on Saturday night next\u2013a matter of which the authorities were cognizant.\u2013Philadelphia Press, August <\/em>28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
