hILTORD B. F. EDITOR. j FRIDAY' s JANUARY , 1863. 'I RELIGIOUS. A s enes qf religious meetings will be held in the 11. E. Church at Trans Kurr, eomtuens'ng on Saturdny, 21st Jan. inst-, ar.d iu the M E. Church at Hartley's, commencing on Saturday, tho 4tb of February. G. BERKSTEESSER, Pastor. To our Western Subscribers. After the first day of February next, we will strike from our list the name of every subscri ber outside of Pennsylvania, who will not have paid up his arrears by that time. Hereafter we will not send our paper beyond the limits of the State, unless it be paid for in advance.— This rula will be strictly adhered to. Absence of the Editors The editor of this paper has gone to ITar- Tisburg, for the purpose of claiming hi 3 seat in the House of Representatives. Of course, he has co expectation of fair treatment at the hands of the miserable cabal which, for the past four years, has successfully de fied Constitution, Law and the People them selves, in its hunt after office and political power. He deems it his duty to the peo ple of the district who honored him with their suffrages, to make an effort to obtain the seat to which, he beliefes, they have honestly and legally elected him. This done, no matter how the trial may result, he cannot be reproached for dereliction of duty, nor can the Democracy be placed in the false position of delinquents in contend ing for their rights. If he is wronged out of his seat, then the Democracy can appeal to the people of the district, in the person of the next candidate, for a reversal of the unjust decision of the abolition majority. So, in any event, both candidate and party will stand recti in curi-a. Let the abolition conspirators do their worst. Meeting the Legislature. The State Legislature assembled at Har- Tiaburg, on Tuesday last. At this writing. x . . ~ •— ccuieu bpcafeer of the House, for which position there has been quite a contest among the abolitionists; but wc presume that Mr. A. G. Oimstead, of Potter, was the successful aspirant. Senator Turrell, of Susquehan na, was, doubtless, re-elected Speaker of the Senate.—There is quite a number of contested cases in t.ie House, and it is pos sible that there may be a few in the Sen- ate. Mr. Senofield, of Philadelphia, con tests the seat cf Mr. De llaven, of the same city. Mr. Piatt, of Lycoming, will contest the seat of Mr. Orwig, of Union; Mr. McKee, of Armstrong, may attempt to oust Mr. Anderson, of the same county. As to the difficulty in regard to the seats of the members chosen to represent our own district, we are unable to sav on which party will be thrown the onus oi* making the contest. The Clerk of the la3t House, whose duty it is, according to precedent, to place cn the rolls the names of persons returned to him by a majority of the Board ol Return Judges as members elect, has not yet placed the names of either set of candidates upon the list. Hence, it is un certain who will be the contestants, or whe ther there will be a contest at all. We have no doubt of one thing, however, and that is, that no matter how good a case Messrs. Meyers and Findlay mav present, they will be ruled out by the abolition ma- jority. At first many of the abolition mem bers talked very fairly in regard to the mat ter, but they have ail teen ''whipped into the traces." That arch-conspirator against ■every thing that is honest, A. K. McClure, whose paper has been constantly employed during the last lew months in attacks upon Mr. Meyers, has concluded that "it would not do" to admit the editor of the Gazett* to a aeat in the present House. Besides, John Cessna, the immaculate John, the picked man (no allusion to lips) of the Ab olition party, in order to remunerate Mr. Meyers for his labors in behalf of the said John's election, a few years ago, has gone on his knees before the abolition members and implored them, for his sake, not to ad mit Meyers to a seat "For," says John, "I have come over to vouj party, I have dene all I could for you. Now, how could you treat -me so badly as to give a seat to the man I hate and fear?" Of course, all thrs hepvy pressure cannot be resisted by the abolition member#, and precedent, law • sacl honesty mast give way to the self-in terest of McClure. whilst, like whipped dogs, the abolit;- 4e S iiilators stoo P int ® the dirt and lie 1 tbe political sores of J. Cess na. P"" 1 no matter. "Time sets all things I „ sn." The day will come, it must come, (a just God will send it sooner than some men suppose) when the people, whose rights hare been thus shamelessly trampled under foot, will rise in the majesty of their strength and thunder eternal political damnation in to the cars of the miscreants who havo de frauded them. The Nation's Uadn6Bß. "When Fort Sumter was fired upon, the news kindled the whole north into such a fiame of exasperation, that a single word : savoring of opposition to tne administration ; was taken at once as conclusive evidence !of treason. Republicans railed their neigh , Lois traitors, with as little compunction of j conscience, as though they were the only j ones who had any interest in the welfare of ! the nation. When Democrats ventured to prophesy that the war would last four years |or more, and that the country would be governed by a military despotism, they were threatened with the rope at once ; and newspapers who asserted that the conquest of the 3outh would not be a "breakfast job," were at once either mobbed or sup pressed. The Democrats predicted, too, that gold would go Up and paper down— that tiie tariff would be raised and a direct fax laid—that the war would be ultimately I conducted for the abolition of slavery and not for the restoration of the Union. These predictions were regarded as the mere ha ' trod of the administration, arid their au thors regarded either as extremely foolish i or extremely* disloyal. The Republican party was then in the position of the man who "being drunk him self thought all others so." Their madness was contagious. It spread all over the north, and the war went on; and has gone on for the last four years, proving every prediction made by the Democrats true and even more than true. Yet men are still gulled as before; but many have come to their senses, and still more are beginning to sec what they could not be convinced of before. The nation has had but few lucid inter vals—but gradually the patient is approach ing convalescence. Like an individual, she needs still more purging and more blood letting, before the high brain fever will be reduced, and her ravings made to cease. But the time will come ac last when the de lusion of the past four years mt:3t pass a _ e - r "v. tv stored at last. But, alas! this may only be when we have lost all of public virtue and the little that remains of liberty. It behooves every man to be at work for this consummation and no time is to be lost. Let Democrats "awake! arise! or be for ever fallen!" The New Year. The present number of tha Gazette begins the year 18G5. \\ e shall not have this year as great political excitement, as during the one that i 9 past. But still tho war goes on, the rebel armies are still in the field; and Rich mond, although it has been taken a thousand and one times in the northern daily's, like an cient Troy, still holds out against its besiegers. Grant ha* fought Ins way from Washington to Petersburg; and Sherman from Chattanooga to Savannah. Thousands cf dead strew the paths of these armies—Savannah has fallen, Hood has been dr;eated, and, now, a wlcc comes op from the crreat American Babylon for SCO, COO mora. The promisee ct' the admiaistratiou par ty Lave been kept as usual; and their prophe cies arc fulfilled !— "i,i a horn." O, blind and humbugged people! will you still listen to tha song of the Syren, that lures you to destruction ? Will you still believe that all this sacrifice of men and mcney is for the Union, and not for the negro? Can you still bo gulled by the tricks of the demagogues who ad minister the government, through another year, or more? If you can PtiJl go on upholding and abetting these destroyers of liberty, then shoul der your muskets, lie down in the trenches be fore Richmond, and sleep your last sleep. Another year of war, destruction, conflagra tion and rapine is before us. Its dose will find many more filling an untimely grave ; and still more ready shrouded for it, before the next shall have passed away. To the Victors belong th 9 Spoils. No political party in this country ever made better use of the above iaaxua than that now in power. Under the administration of Abra ham Lincoln, offices and emoluments hare in creased an hundred fold. There are postmas ters and provost marshals by the thousand army officers, detectives, quartermasters, con tractors and thieves by the million—to say nothing of the tax gatherers, assessors and oth er minor officers. All these men are clothed, fed and made rich by the earnings of honest men—Democrats as well as Republicans. We are daily taxed to feed men who fatten on the blood of our kindred, and take away oar lib erties. They enter the homes of Democrats and quar ter themselves on them treating them as though they were the only people who can be patriotic i or "loyal-" They insult the nation and its in stitutions: and are a disgrace to its founders. And, yet, they seem to be the idols of the so called "loyal" people of the land.

Sinking oj the steamer A orih America, from -Veto Orleans —l 97 Soldiers Lost, includ ing Col. Sounders and Lieut Col. Horn 62 Persons Taken Off —All the Lady Pas sengers Saved. NEW YORK, Deo. 20.—The steamer Arago has arriyed. Her officer* report that last night she fell in with, off Egg Harbor, the barque Mary E. Libby, of Portland, and took from her Capta;n Marshman, of the steamer North America, which foundered at sea, and 47 of her officers, and passenger* and crew. The North American left New Orleans on the 16th of December, with 236 soldiers, 12 cabin passengers, and a crew of 44 men. She sprang a leak on the 22d, and at 2 P. M. spoke the baquer Mary E. Libby, which promised to stay and receive everybody on board if neces sary. At 2.36 P. M., the water pnt the fire* out. The boats were got ready, and at 3.30 started the first boat, with the chief engineer and all the lady passengers. Six boat loads were got on board. The seventh boat load left at dark, with Purser Pollett and eight men, and are supposed lost, as they never reached the barque. The eighth and last boat, with the captain, first nod second officers, and eight men, left the North America at 7.30 P. M., ard hoisted a* board the barque at 9 P. M., being impossible to return to the steamer that night i l.e barque made sa:l, and proceeded towards the steam er, her lights all in sij:h#, distant about six mile*. About 1 A. M. HIP lights suddenly disappeared, and the steamer, i; is supposed, sunk. At day light nothing was in sight but some water casks; '• made sail, and cruised around until noon, when the barque proceeded on her course. Sixty-two persons were 6aved, and 197 were lost. The Democratic Vote of the U. States. ibe following table shows very nearly the Democratic vote cast at the late Presidential election.

The attempt of some wealthy men in Boston to avoid the payment of the income tax. by coolly swearing to an under estimate of their annual gains, is attracting the attention of the press of that city. The argument used by the ! Transcript is applicable to inoro places than Boston. When wo redact that, in respect to the in come tax, these burdens are complacently put on shoulders least able to bear theai, the mean ness of the evasion is as obvious as its iniquity. To a clerk whose income is §I,OOO or §1,500, the tax comes to reduce his necessaries and eom forts; to the employer, whose income is §20,000 or $30,000, it would not, if fairly paid, reduce his luxuries. To the clerk, it means less cloth ing and less meat, to the employer, it does not mean even less champagne and less canvas back. How any rich man with a reputation for integrity, can fail to see the paltriness of engaging in a scheme to rob the poor by mak ing them pay a disproportionate share of the national expenses, is one of those mysteries which the genius of avarice itself might be puzzled to explain; for avarice, though it may be unmerciful, is not necessarily shabby and unjust. Besides such conduct is as impolitic as it is dishonest. The income tax was laid as one of the means to restore the rational finances to a sound can Jit ion, sr.d just s : far as men evade it will lie the failure of its primary purpose. I Now it is difficult to suppose that a man who has intelligence enough to acquire money; has not at the same time sufficient judgment to see , that it is more for his interest that the public , credit should be good, than that he should be saved from paying three, four or five per cent. ; on his annual income. Even if this considera- , tion should fail to affect him, he ought to know that the tax lie evades in this instance will come i upon him in some other form more depleting to j his purse; for money the Government must ami 1 wilt have, and it must, in some mode, be take n ! from the mass of the nation's taxable property, j We have heard in our day, from outset vu- I tive Democrats, made an edifying homily on the duty of obeying every law, however unjust or inhuman may be its provisions. What Demo crat, theu, would disobey those laws of taxa tion, tie equitable enforcement of which is nc j cessary to the national existence ? Wecontinu j ally bear from .Republicans the greatest horror ' expressed of the guilt of rebellion against a I free and beneficent Government. What Keput ! lican, then, would turn rebel against the Gov j eminent by refusing to pay his just share of the j taxation levied, for its support ? Such H Rcpuh ; lican is tba meanest of aii rebels. lie does not I fight openly against the United States, but oort , tents himself with waging a miserable guerrilla j warfare ou the Treasury, whilst at the same ! time he hypocritically "hurrahs for Lincoln," j and goes for a "vigorous prosecution of the j war."— Pit It burg Post. The Military Prospect. A Warning A gainst too Sanguine Expectations. It may easily happen that our people maybe j too sanguine with reference to the immediate | results of Sherman's march and his capture of | Savannah. Jetf. Davis said, in his late mcs sage, with some truth, that tlieexister.ee ol the Confederacy, and the success of their cause, does not at all depend on their possession of cities. In our own struggle with Great Britain ; during the war of independence, that power held ; for years many of our largest cities, and march : ed her armies from one end of the country to the other, without perceptibly affecting the de cision of the contest. A vast agricultural coun try as this was then, and as the South is now, does not depend at all on cities; in fact, the population of towns in a severe blockade be comes aften a burden on the producing classes. We might now, Jcft". Davis has said, hold Mo ; bile, Wilmington, Charleston and Richmond, j and the essential resources uf the Confederacy t remain much as they have been. 1 But it must be remembered that tho essontial • resources the materia! forces <<f a country, are by no means its only or principal strength. It has been said of a bombardment that its prin cipal effect is metaphysical or mental. It is so with the power of a community to resist or to fight. It is mainly in the mysterious and utter ly immeasurable force of the human will. These are affected by moral as well as material causes. ; The capture ol Richmond would in fact, relieve the Cont'edeiacy of a real burden, but in its ; moral effect it could not be measured by what ! ever loss of guns or stores. To a less degree | the loss of Savannah tells on the prestige, the | spirits of the rebel population. Still it is not i to be di nie.d that the escape of Hardee's army lost us the greatest prize of victory. What we mainly want now is the destruction of armies. Had the only outlet from Savannah been shot j lip, and Hardee's 15,000 been captured we , should have been far nearer the close of tho war j man we are now.—• ,v eic I otL i\,< ie>\ j A Female Brigand—A Modern Boadieea | due rpes from Bail and. Murders the Jailor—Danger in the Neapolitan Pro vinces. A Turin letter states that among tlve Neapol if an provinces which have to contend with the , dreadful scourge of the brigandage there is that of Cattanzaro, which possesses ihe advantage 0 t having a hand which is led by Maria Ou vioro, <"' exceedingly handsome woman not yet I thirty y.eafs of age. Barbarity is her chief : characteristic, end the sight of blood renders iier as excited wild lionet. the was the I wife of tlie famous' brigand .Monaco, of the Al ! banian village of Sja'zzano, who was killed in an encounter with t.'ic /talian troops near iJos ano. In this very enoou oter Maria was also wounded, hut she continued to discharge her musket, kneeling on the dea'd ot her hus band, witli a firmness and a poui'age which ev en commanded the admiration oi her opponents. Having at last been struck in the tight Ivg, she fell into the hands of the troops, aiu' brought before a court martial at Cattanzaro, was con demned to be shot. The sentence was bowdr er, commuted to thirty years of penal servifu'de. While she was expiating her crimes in the pris - j on at Cattanzaro the jailor fell desperately in love with her. The cunning woman pretended to feci an equal affection for him, and one day she told him that while she was with her hus band she had concealed, in a certain place near JRossano, a large sum of money which had been paid for the ransom of a rich farmer. Tho jailor went quickly to the spot, and found the money. The fuel had naturally the effect of making his love for Maria still more ardent, so that she had no difficulty in convincing him that tender affections are better manifested in freedom than within the four walls of a dun geon. Before, however, making their escape, Maria succeeded in sending word to her broth ers, who are brigands, that on a certain even ing sho would be at an appointed spot not far from Cattanzaro, attired in man's clothes, to gether with her deliverer. Maria was punctual ly at the rendezvous, and her brothers also The unfaithful turnkey was killed out of hand, and the money he had found replaced in Maria's pocket. Once free, this woman organized a hand of brigands and began her operations in that tract of mountains which lie between the river Crati and Cattanzare. The barbarities since perpetrated by Maria are almost incredi ble. The villages of Spinelli, Cotzenci, and Belvedere, have been literally sacked by the hand she command®. The dread which the name of Maria Oliviero inspires among the rural population of Cattanzaro is so great that the Italian government has been obliged to arnd two battalions of the line to pursue the cruel fury. While the band led by this woman is desolating the country of Crutanzaro, we hear frcm Rionero that bersaglieri have succeeded at last in capturing the famous brigand Saeehi tiello, together with the two still more famous mistresses of the brigands Crocco and Schia vone. The strangest thing about the capture of Sacchitiello and of tne two women is that they were taken at the house of the captain of the national guard of the village, where they had been concealed since the month of July! This fact shows how niffi, ult it is to get rid of the Neapolitan brigands, since in certain cases he command,rs of tho national guard give them ' safe shelter in their very house,,. Foreign Intervention In our estimate of coming events, it mav be unwise to examine the relations betww. England and (be United States, and to Wa ' front the dream of sentimentality to the p<:r ' lions of fact. England owes us nothing, 'j 1 ] colonies, through a war of seven year?, * toJ their independence upon a quarrel with upon the nice point of her national suprenjiu. v In 1812, we fought her again upon , p r ; pie of her ancient policy, which she chose te ; enforce in a life and death contest with Franc®, Every effort of L eland to detacn herself f ro „ the British Union has beeu bailed with delight by us as a community. Iu her hist war Russia, our sympathies were unfeignediy hos ; tile to her, and we held her minister most tr* c . ! lv to the Jaw, inflicting what she, we, an,] g '|| , the world felt to fee a humiliation. Most en - phatically, therefore, she owes us neither > will nor good offices. Duting this present war with some strange delusion, we have persisted ly felt that her absolute indifference was a "ran. injustice, to be resented wtien an opportunity ■ offered, and we have not only felt it, but have given voice to our feelings, i Though we avail-M ourselves of her work. ; shops for arm?, and her supplier fur utlipettw we have felt tuti the Sionlur use of her fffcili tiis for siil, -building by the confederate govern ; merit was an injury, and we have, by the on®, crable imbecility of our foreign department, sap ilied her that she has nothing to expect from our sense of justice, and everything to hop® from our sense of consequences. We have let iu the same manner our "I d 4PB not wnit upon 1 would" in the case of Frar.e®, Louis NAPOI.EON is too shrewd not to perceiv# that the Mexican empire, which he character ; ized as "the great event of his reign," is regard i ed as an attack upon a doctrine which will |® j vindicated at convenience, lie knows that thi 1 moment the mutual slaughter of the free and | the slave states ceases, tho fiery elements cvuk | ed by this war must have outlet, and that tlie ! course of its march may be toward the Hall® ; of ihe Montezunius. By every prompting of interest, by every in s;'.ct of jealousy and fear, France and Eng. land are interested in the disunion of the U. States. By every principle ol interest, by ev ery instinct of pi ide and power, the North and the South are equally drawn to union. What stands in the way? That miserable compound of fanaticism, demngoguism, and centralism, the Republican party! Probably seven out of ten men who voted for Mr. Lincoln voted for the Union, but the other three will control the seven. _ -.TIARRSEgt— - ELDER—VICKROY.—On tha 25th of De ember, 1864, at the residence of tire bride'i ijithc-r, by the Rev.
