FIRST OF APRIL. This general settling day is close at hand, and we, with many others, must prepare to meet it. All persons indebted to us, therefore, whether for subscriptions, advertising or job printing, will confer a special favor by paying up promptly before the first of April, so that we may be ena bled to pay the demands that will be made upon us. We are thankful to those who have Belled their accounts during the winter. But there is yet a large number in arrears ; and we now ap peal to them not to let the first of April pass without paying up. The paper we print upon is still as exorbitant in price as it was two months ago, with no prospect of any decline; and we are obliged to pay cash for it, and all other arti cles we consume, on delivery'We must therefore adhere to the cash system, or we cannot get along in our business at all. While things remain ae they are, we shall have to demand advance pay ments from all subscribers, and cash for adver tising and job printing. When the times get back into the old track again, we shall be glad to relax this hard rule. 111 , • I "01'1 1•1 I 'i'[.. lion. S. B. Amase has futlnislied ns with the following copy of an amendment to the Act of July 22d, 1862, which passed Congress before the late adjournment. It is of treat importance to wounded soldiers, for it entitles all who are discharged on account of wounds received in battle, to the Government bounty, no matter what length of time they may have served: "Be it crawled, tr., That every non-commis— sioned officer, private, or other person, who has been, or shall hereafter be discharged from the army of the United States within two years from the date of their enlistment, by reason of wounds received in battle, shall be entitled to receive the same bounty as in granted, or may be granted to the same classes of persons who are discharged after a service of two years and all acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this are hereby repealed." Tits METHODIST CHURCH AND POLITICIL-011 the first day of the session of the Methodist Con ference, at West Chester, a motion was made by Rev. J. Cunningham, to have a committee of one appointed from each district, "On the state of the Country." Rev. Dr. Hodgson opposed the appointing of this Committee. He thought that the salvation of the country did not depend upon them ; they had better leave it in the hands of those who had charge of our National affairs_ He said if they (the Conference) must attend to the adjusting of the affairs of the Nation they would have a superabundance of business on hand. Rev. P. Coombe thought that, having appointed a similar committee last year, and acted upon their reports ; having pledged themselves to the support of the Union; and having their action, last year, misrepresented by the people along the border, they would but involve themselves in new difficulties, by renewed action on this sub-. ject. Personally, he was in favor of anything to put down this unholy Rebellion, but thought that Centerence action in this matter would do more injury to the brethren on the border than good to the country. Rev. D. W. Bartine could not see cause for any difficulty in regard to the ap pointing of this Committee. In the history of the country and the Church such thing; have not been uncommon, though it would save trouble to appoint ajudicious Committee as a safeguard to their doings. Rev. C. Thompson thought the Conference was sufficiently understood by the people. He said, "We stand right before the peo ple." After Some further discussion, Bev, P. Criombe offered the following as a substitute for the appointment of a committee, and it was adopted, on a call of the yeas and nays, with but two negative votes Resolved, That we hereby reaffirm our loyalty to the General Government, and express our de termination to sustain and pray for the re-estab lishment of the Union and the suppression of the present Rebellion. Tnc EIGHTS 07 MAIMIND WOWWW.—The follow ing bill, which contains important provisions, hie just passed both houses of the State Legisla ture.

Between two and three years ago, on almost every pleasant evening, processions of men in oil cloth capes. and caps, and bearing lanterns, might have been seen parading up and down the streets of our Northern cities and villages. They generally bore banners of "strange device," which have probably long since been consigned to the darkest and most secret receptacles that could be found for them. Could they again be brought to the light of day they would be seen to bear inscriptions indicative of anything but an affection for the whole country or regard for the Union. On the contrary one-half of our na dve land was alluded to in terms of the bitterest invective and hatred, and as for the Union, in the classic language of an eminent Republican personage, we were bidden "to let it slide." Those who had the temerity to confess a love for the Union and respect for the Constitution came in also for their share of invective, and figured upon the banners as dough-faces and Union savers, and the fiercest expressions of disgust and hatred were reserved for their especial bene fit. No allusion to our National flag, Govern ment or laws ever appeared unless in the form of a curse or a sneer, nor was there any expres sion of affection, veneration, or even regard, for any objects save these three—the negro, John Brown, and that sooty monster begotten by Re publicanism upon Abolitionism—the higher law. The emblematic meaning of the water-proof clothing and the lanterns was obscure, nor has it ever been satisfactorily explained. If oil cloth caps and capes were adopted that a resem blance to firemen might be given, it was glaringly improper and unsuitable. Firemen are organized to save life and property and extinguish incen diary flames. The oilcloth garments in question covered a very different purpose. The lantern may possibly have been borne like that of Die genes, for the sake of discovering an honest man, but no such hopeless thing is on record as a search for him in the ranks of the processions. But such as they were they paraded the streets nightly to the annoyance of quiet folks and the dismay of honest men who respected the law and really loved their country. Two years and more have passed away and the Union has been violently eundered—oar national wealth has been spent, squandered and stolen— our national credit almost departed—a debt of over two billions of dollars contracted—the fires of one of the moat terrible civil wars the world hue ever seen are desolating the lantheeand hun dreds of thousands of our beet and bravest fill bloody and untimely graves. But the gentlemen of the wide awake gar ments, who put open rebellion upon our State statute hooka, who sympathized with John Brown, who tolled the bells and opened the churches as a mark of sympathy for a man who would, if he could, have applied a torch to the dwelling and inflicted death and worse upon the wives and children of every citizen of a sister State, who threatened to commit Boston handcuffed and manacled to the tender mercies of a "Metropoli tan Police" in order that Wendell Phillips might preach upon the text, " The Union a league with death and a covenant with hell," and indulge in treason and blasphemy at his pleasure—these gentlemen are gloating in fat offices, and growing rich upon the ruin of their country. Ought they not to be satisfied with this? Have they not ob tained all they sought for ? They certainly should be satisfied, but they apparently are not. They do not appear to be willing to stay their hands, until they have dose crated and defiled the word Union, after having so successfully exerted themselves to deprive us of the reality. These same devotees of the "higher law" of John Brown, Helper, and Wen dell Phillips, are proceeding to organize asso ciations whioh they propose to call " Union Leagues," and which, from the antecedents of most of those who are active in forming them, it is reasonable to suppose will include as much patriotism, honesty of purpose and respect for the law, as found shelter formerly under wide awake caps and cloaks. The accomplices of the assassination propose to organize for the protec tion of their victim l evert if they were sin cerely repentant, charity 'would hardly tolerate them in the humblest place among the mourners —bat when they still trample under foot the Constitution and the laws—still have no thought or wish or prayer but for party power and the apotheosis of the negro—still stand ready to burst into open rebellion whenever they may fail to force their policy upon the Executive and the Government—when we find them thus, and in this attitude, are we not compelled to believe that their league is a mask and a cloak under which they can inflict a surer and deadlier stab upon whoever is found an obstacle to their plans or the perpetuity of their patty—in short, that they are stealing .Heaven's livery to serve the Devtl —Boston Port. Pa'acg PatiroetriOne.—AN IMPORTANT Iteve- LATION: a Democratic meeting in Stamford, Connecticut, on Tuesday evening last, Fernando Wood declared " that propositions for an armis tics or peace had been subniitted to the President on the 12th of December last, which, had they been accepted, - would Lars terminated tide war by the first of April, upon a basis satiefactory to the people North and South." The H. Y. Evening Post inquires: •' Who made these propositions for an armistice or wet,' the adoption of which Mr. Wood pre• tends to believe ' would have settled the matter' by All-Fools' day ? Were they made by Davis and his fellow rebels? If so, how does Mr. Wood know anything about them ? Has he been in secret correspondence with the enemy ? Or were they made by acme anti war elan here ? If so, who authorised them? And what are the terms of the propositions from which Mr. Wood hopes so much? If they are honorable to the na— tion; if they are such as patriotic Americans ought:to favor, why not make them public at once?" To these inquiries Mr. Wood replies: " The statement referred to was made by me deliberately, with a full and personal knowledge of the facts, and I am constrained from the pub licity of them only by the request of one of the principal officers of the Government. When this interdiction a, all be withdrawn, I will cheerfully gratify your curiosity." ' ser COL. JAMES B. Fax, Assistant Adjutant- Generat of the United States Army, has been ap pointed Provost Marshal General of the United States, in pursuance of section five of the Con scription Law. Col.

If, by chance, or in the order of Providence, there should he now living, and in political asso ciation with the Abolitionists, any of the old campaigners of 1840, of the "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" stripe, who built log cabins, swigged hard cider, and sang the praises of " that same old coon" until he was fairly carried into the White House—if there be any of these old fellows left, we desire to call their attention to the fol lowing extract from a letter written by Gen. Harrison in 1820 to Mr. Monroe. It may tend to open their eyes to a fact that they would not believe, if it came from a Democratic source. It appears from this that Gen, Harrison held the same opinion with Webster, Clay, and all the truly national statesmen of America, whether Democrats or Whigs, that it teas not slavery that would destroy the Union, but that meddlesome, un lawful Abolition interference with it, would. Read the words of "Old Tippecanoe," and ponder them well. After a lapse over forty years, they have all the significance of prophecy fulfilled : "I am and have been far many years so much opposed to slavery that I will never live in a slave State. But I believe that the Constitution has given no p 'war to the General Government to interfere in this matter; and that to have slaves or no slaves depends upon the people in each State alone. But besides the constitutional objection, .1 am persuaded that the obvious tendency of such interference on the part of the Stales which have no slaves, with the property of their fellow citi zens of the others, is to produce a slate of discontent andjealoasy 'MAT WILL, IN TOE END, PROVO FATAL TO TRH UNION." Call for a National Convention— Democratic Resolutions. HARRISBURG, March 13. Numerous petitions have been presented to the Pennsylvania Legislature during the present session in favor of a National Convention to ad just our difficulties. The Democratic members of the Senate and House held a caucus, and lam night agreed upon resolutions to be presented on the subject to the Senate, by Hon. Mr. Lamber ton, and to the House by Mr. Pershing, chair man of the Committee on Federal Relations. The House, being Democratic, will pass them ; but there Is no likelihood that they will pass the Senate. The following is a copy of the resolu tions t Whereas, Angry sectional controversy, long indulged, has culminated in the assumed seces sion of a number of States of the Union, and a civil war, which has already raged for nearly two years with usurpaseed violence and carnage, wasting the three and substance of the people of both sections, and filling the land with misery and lamentations : and whereas, a continuance of the Union of all the States is indispensable to the peace and welfare of the people as well as to the attainment of a great nationality : and where as, it is believed that ordinary measures of legis lation may prove insufficient to remove the primary causes of the present strife, or to adjust the complications that have arisen therefrom ; and whereas, the fifth article of the Constitution of the United States provides that the "Congress, whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to the Constitution, or on the application of the Legis latures of two-thirds of the States, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and pur poses as part of this Constitution when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by Congress." Be it, therefore, • Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representa tives of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, That the Congress of the United States be, and hereby is, petitioned to make provision for call ing a Convention of States, as authorized by the fifth article of the Constitution of the United States, as Boon as the necessary number of States shall have petitioned for the same ; the object of which Convention shall be to inquire into the causes of the present afflictions of the nation, and if any just ground of complaint is found to exist, to so amend the Constitution as to remove such causes, securing thereby a more perfect union of the States ; a better understanding of the relations which the United States bear to the Federal Government; "establishing justice, insuring domestic ranquik ity," and doing such other things not inconsis tent with the spirit and genius of the present form of Government as may be deemed necessary " to promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our poster ity." And be it further Resolved, That the Governor be requested to forward copies of the foregoing resolution to the President of the United States, to the President of the Senate of the United States, to the Speak er of the House of Representatives of the United States, and to each of the Governors of the sever al Staten claiming to be in the Union, The above resolutions are underetood to have received the sanction of Governor Seymour, and the leaders of the - Democratic party in New York, New Jersey, several of the New England, and many of the Western States. air TUE ABOLITIONISTS, who are in a minor ity of some seven or eight thousand voters in New Hampshire, try to congratulate themselves that their condition is no worse. This is like the consolation the culprit expressed when he examined the rope on the gallows, declaring the cord was not a very big one, after all. Thrown into a minority which will diminish until it is merged in some new ism, the Radicals see they have received their fatal wound in New Hamp shire, and that her vote will as surely be regis tered for the Democratic candidate for the next Presidency as She has an opportunity to cast it. " That's what's the matter." Wir.stor PEOVIDED Pos.—The people of Penn sylvania having repudiated Senator DAVE WIL MOT, and laid him on the shelf, the President has provided far him by appointing him Judge of the Court of Claims--salary $4,000 per annum! Wilmot used his best efforts to involve the coun try in a civil war, and is doing all he can to continue the war and ruin the country. There is not a worse traitor in the Southern army than this blatant demagogue, and hence it is that he ie a favorite with the Administration. ENZMIRIa NORTH AND BOlTTlL—Kentucky "Cop perhead" sentiment!' read pretty well, au for ea ample the following, which heads a series o "loyal" resolutions passed by the General As sembly of that State : "Esso/seci, That our institutions are assail— ed by an armed rebellion on one aide, which can only be met by the sword, and on the other by unconstitutional acts of Congress, and start ling usurpations of power by the Executive, which we have seen by experiment can be cor rected by the ballot-box." .

THE YAZOO PASS EXPEDITION, REBEL STEAMBOATS CAPTURED Rumored Evacuation of Vicksburg WARRINGTON, March 17, 1863. A dispatch was received yesterday from Admi ral Porter, dated before Vicksburg on the 7th inet., stating that be had received the signal agreed upon between him and Commander Smith, of the Yazoo expedition, to be fired as soon as the latter officer entered the Yazoo river, which signal was to be nine minute guns, and three guns afterwards in quick succession. A despatch from Vicksburg to Cincinnati yesterdayme that the Yazoo Pa's expedition has captured . twenty six steamboats, eighteen of which were destroyed. The gunboats have ar— rived above Raines' Bluff and would soon com mence the attack. Rumors were rife of the evacuation of Vicks burg, am! it was supposed that the greater part of the rebel force would go to Chattanooga and endeavor to overwhelm General Roseorans. General McCleroand's troops were compelled to embark for Milliken's Bend, sixteen miles above Vicksburg, owing to high water. Recent operations at Lake Providence and elsewhere resulted in inundating more than one hundred miles of Louisiana territory, destroying millions of dollars worth of property. The rebel gnerillag suffered fearfully by the flood. In fact, they were completely driven out. The same intelligence was received at Chicago. Despatches from Cairo state that the report of the capture of Yazoo City is premature. The conviction, however, exists there that a decisive collision-has occurred on the Yazoo. THE LATEST ISCASKINGTON, March 19. The intelligence from the Yazoo expedition is not very encouraging. We learn from Memphis that an unexpected check to its onward progress was mat with at Fast Phishartszi, a fortitloatian erected in Carroll county, Miesiseippi, at the junction of the Yallabusha and Tallahatchie Rivers. The iron-clad Chillicothe, at wo gun boat of about three hundred tone, built at Cincinnati, leading the expedition through Yazoo Pass, on arriving at the point named received the fire of Fort Pemberton, sixty four shots striking her, and was lying idle, awaiting the arrival of a new supply of ammunition. Later advices, but not so authentic, say that the fleet had arrived in the vicinity of Haines' Bluff, near the mouth of the Yazoo River. We also learn that the 1 , 41k0 Fro• videnee canal has been completed, and that the water will be let in in a few days. The rebel account of this affair is given in a Richmond paper. "Fort Pemberton, at the mouth of the Tallahatchie river, was bombarded on the 12th instant We have lost some valuable gunners and a few others.
