55 By a recent act of Congress soldiers
discharged from the nrmy by reason of
wounds received in battle are entitled to the
United Stutcs bounty ; but this law is gene
rally misconstrued, so that soldiers dischar
ged for disability and other causes excepting
wounds in battle, imagine themselves enti
tled to the bounty. A right understanding
of this law will save soldiers much troublo
and expense.
tiy By tho recent amendments to the
Internal Revenue act "all duties or taxes on
coal mined and delivered by coal operators
at the mines, on contracts made prior to
July 1, 1802, shall be paid by the purchaser
thereof."
Coal is going to Philadelphia from
the Ilazleton region by way of the Reading
Railroad, and the Lackawanna & Blooms
burg road expects to send two hundred
thousand tons that way via the Cattawissa
road tho coming season.
IsTEREstrKo Lkoal Decision.
The Court of Montgomery county, in tho
case of Breitenbach m. Bush, Judge Chap
man decided that the law staying civil pro
cess ogaiust soldiers was unconstitutional
Tho case was taken to the Supreme Court,
and on Thursday last, at Philadelphia, an
opinion was given reversing the decision of
the Court of Montgomery connty, thereby
ftffiyning tho constitutionality of the law
The stay law was enacted on tho 18th
April, 18C1.
"A Gencixe Cow'eruead. Our neigh
bors of the Northumberland County Democrat,
boast of a new head procured by the em
ployees of that office. The new head referred
to, be it understood, is not the head of the
editor, but of tho paper. It has been cus
tomary, of late years, to uso copper faced
type for heads of newspapers, and wo pre
sume the "new head" is of that character.
The employees, no doubt, thought the sever
al heads of the establishment should cor
respond, and hence tho propriety of t
"copper-head" for the paper.
EtT Abandonment. Tho Pennsylvania
Railroad Company give notice of their in
tention to abandon so much of the western
division of the canal (lately forming a part
of tho main lino of the public works) as lies
between Blairsville and Johnstown, together
with dams, feeders and reservoirs lying west
or Johnstown, used in connection with w hat
is known as the upper western division.
tSf" Our neighbor of the Democrat s.iys
that tho term copperheads is applied to
democrats. This is a great mistake. No
one ever thought of applying such an cpi-
tnet to uoveruor Johnson, Judge Holt. Gov,
Dickinson, Governor Todd, General Butler.
John Van Burcn and many other leadiug
democrats, who have always been the ardent
supporters of tho democracy taught by
Jefferson, Jackson and Douglass. The term
is applied only, and very properly, to such
counterfeit democrats as Vallandigham'
Batilsbury, Breckinridge, Floyd, Jen. Davis
and their followers. It is fortunate that tho
copperheads are not numerous. They are
only dangerous because they secretly circu
late their subtle poison uuder the garb of
democracy, and thus deceive the ignoraut
and unwury. lSotrue patriot (and every
good democrat should be a patriot) will
knowingly agree to be led by men who ym
pathize aud art n ith traitor who openly de
clare that tho laborers and mechanics of the
North aro no Utter than their slaves, and
refuse to recognize them as equals.

An ObxUnate Copperhead.
There is a copperhead in Philadelphia
whose hiss is tremendous, but whoso fangs
do not seem to be capable of much harm.
His namo is Ingcrsoll, nud ho made a speech
on Mondnv nisht before the "Democratic
Central Club," on the subject of St ates Righ ts
Tho Bulletin gives this specimen of his
doctrines s
"Tho rankest treason and the flattest non
sense uttered by the orator of the evening
was, perhaps, what ho said in reference to
the recent temporary suspension of a copper
head journal in this city, and the arrest of
its ostensible editor. Ho said no naa oeen
asked what he would do in such a caso. He
said no did not know what he would do, as
tho Governor of tho state and the Senate are
not democratic; but if thoy (tho democrats)
had the Governor and the Senate, he would
counsel that in tho event of such an outrage
being repeated, tho state authorities thould

A New York paper, says :
Mr. Ingcrsoll clearly does not understand
any democracy but that of the small and
venomous faction to which ha belongs. We
have in this state what he says he so much
desires in Pennsylvania "a democratic Go
vernor" and the plan "of seizing the Presi
dent of the United States," which ho pro
poses, was proposed to that Governor j but
if wo are rightly informed, he put his foot
to tho back of tho insulting projector and
lifted him into the street. What is more,
tho loyal democrats of this state approve the
summary process.

SUCCESS OF THE WOKK NEAR VICKSBURO
In connection with the news from the
Yazoo, demonstrating the success of ono of
General Grant's canals, the following from
the Memphis correspondence of the Phila
delphia Inquirer (0th) will bo of interest
"All the canals nro now pronounced suc
cessful, notwithstanding the sage prediction
of a rebel newspaper that the Yankees would
fail in the Williams canal, because theywould
not (iig deep enough to cut through the
strata ol blue clay tound beneath tlicsubsoil
It would appear from recent accounts that
even that ditch may yet be of some service
to us. It seems the lankcosdid digtliroucl;
the clay, struck tho quicksand under it, aud
as soon us the dum shall bo removed from
the upper mouth ot the canal, the river, now
upon the rampage, will rush through it with
great force and quickly delve a channel large
enough to float onr heaviest gun-boats, and
what more do wo need ? Yicksburg may
surrender or hold out, if she can, atter this,
We can afford to bide our time. But she
cannot much longer hold out.
"True, the rebels may, through some im
perfect management some loophole un
known and unprotected by our forces be
able to evacuate tlio place, as they did (Jo
rinth. and thus evade capture and destruc
tion. This now seems to be General Grant's
only tear, and I am positive that, should the
Confederates succeed in accomplishing the
uianrcuvro, they are still in almost as bad a
perdicameut as before. Where are they to
get supplies ? Where are they to go 1 The
conclusion, to ray mind, seems inevitable.

Admiral Porter' furrntlvc of the
4 'onM ruction nnd t.'nrccr of bis
"Dummy Monitor.'
A private letter has been received at Wash
ington, by a naval officer, from Acting Rear
Admiral Porter, which has created much
amusement in Cabinet circles. It seems that
Porter was much surprised to learn, on the
Snth of February, that the ram Queen of the
West was at Warrenton, seven miles below
Yicksburg, with the relwl flag flying, ond
steam up. The account Porter received
from Kllet led him to believe that the Queen
was in such n condition that she could not
be repaired for some time. "I knew," Bay's
Admiral Porter in his letter, "that Brown
could take caro of the Wehb by himself, but
1 nave no idea that lie will be a maten lor
the Queen ond AVebb both amusing him nt
tho samo time. Tho Indiunoht is a weak
vessel, nnd the only good thing about her is
her battery. ' Ho proceeds to say that "ou
ring the time of the running of the blockade
by the Queen und Inditinoln, five rebel guns
were burst and dismounted in their forts.
Therefore it was an object to make them fire
as much as possible. 1 cot a mortar in easy
range, and opened on that part of tho town
where tlicro was nothing but army supplies,
and soon provoked a tire of four ot their
heavy batteries. The shell nt first fell over
the mortar ond around it, bursting close to
our men : but tho range began to grow
shorter and shorter, until they let us have it
all our own way. Finding that they could
not be provoked without an object, I thought
of getting up an imitation Monitor. An old
coal barge, picked up iu the river, was the
foundation to build on. It was constructed
in twelvo hours, of old boards, with pork
barrels piled on tnpot each other lor smoke
stack, and two old canoes for quarter boats,
Her furnaces were built of mud, and only
intended to make black smoke, nnd not
steam. On the night ot the 24th lie heard,
at 0 o'clock, heavy guns about fifteen miles
below. We knew that the rebels had noth
ing but light guns there, which could not be
heard ot any distance. So wo thought it
was tho Indianola engaging tho batteries at
Carthage, tit teen miles below v icksburg.
Not knowing that Brown wos in peril, we
let loose our Monitor. It was towed to
w ithin a couple of miles of the first battery,
nnd let go, when it was discoverod by tho
dim light of the moon that Yicksburg was
in a stew. Never did her batteries open
with such a vim. The earth fairly trembled
and the shot flew thick around the devoted
Monitor, which returned no shot with her
long wooden gun. The Monitor ran safely
past all the batteries, though under a heavy
fire for an hour, and drifted down safely to
tho lower mouth of the canal, wherosbc was
tucked into an eddy. The rebels were com
plctcly deceived by her. As soon as they
saw her by daylight they opnned on her
again with all the guns they could bring to
bear, but w ithout a shot hitting lier to do
any harm, for the shot went through one
side nud came out the other, without cans
ing her to sink, us she was full of water nl
ready. Our soldiers shouted and laughed
like mad, but the laugh was somewhat
against them when, at dnvlicht. we dis
covered the ram Queen of tho West lying at
Warrenton ; and the question at once arose
what had happened to tho Indianola. Had
the two rams sunk her or captured her in
the engagement wo had heard the night
before i One or two of the soldiers got the
Monitor out in the stream, and lei her go
tiown on tne ram Queen. All the tort com
l'lH(f fltil mi rrii nl 1 71 it nitil aa 4-1 i A
Monitor approached tier, tho ' ram turned
tan anu ran down the ntcr as last as sh
could go, the Monitor after her. making all
the speed that was given her by a five-knot
carrcnt. The forts ut Warrenton fired brave
ly and rapidly, und it w as reported that they
hit our Monitor iu a very vulnerable spot.

United States Mrssifwrprt Squadron,
Yazoo River, March 10 (via Memphis and
Louisville, 13th.) lion. Gideon Weli.es,
Secretary of the Navy : I have been pretty
well assured, for some time past, that the
Iudianola had been blown up, in consequence
of tho appearance of a wooden imitation
Monitor, which the enemy sunk with their
batteries. Tho Monitor was a valuable aid
to us. It forced away tho Queen of the
West, and caused the' blowing up of the
Indianola.
The following is an account of the ofiuir
taken from the Vicksburg Whig, of the Oth
instant :
"Destruction of the 'Indianola.' We
stated a day or two smco that we would
not enlighten our readers in regard to a
matter which wus puzzling them very much.
Wo alluded to the loss of the gunboat
Indianola, recently raptured from the ene
my. We were loth to aeknowlcdgc she had
been destroyed ; but such is the case.
'The Yankee barge sent down the river
last week was reported to be on iron-clad
gunboat. The authorities thinking that this
monster would retake tho Indianola, imme
diately issued on order to blow her up. Tho
order was sent down by courier to the offi
cer in charge of the vessel.
"A few hours afterwurds another order
was sent down countermanding the first, it
being ascertained that the monstrous craft
was only a coal boat ; but before it reached
the Indianola, she had been blown to atoms
not even a gun w as saved. AVho is to
blame for this folly this precipitancy ?
'It would really seem as if wo had 110 use
for gunboats 011 tho Mississippi, ns a coa(
barge is magnified into a monster, and our
authorities immediately order a boat that
would have been worth a small army to us
to bo blown up."' I). I). Portkh,

MORE VILE TRAITORS ARRESTED.
Since the late raid was made at this place
by Captain Moscly's Rebel cavalry, Provost
Marshal O'Conner has been very energetic
in ferreting out and arresting tho citizens
who gave mlormation and aided the Kcbels.
On Monday evening nine of these unprin
cipled fellows were captured, Hud on the
following day forwarded to Washington.
Yesterday some others concerned in the
disgraceful affair were taken and sent to
Provost-Oencrai at Alexandria. The first
ono is J. II. Barnes, residing about two
miles and a half beyond here, at a little
village known as Gcrmautown. About
three months we gave a sketch of the indi
vidual, showing how he betrayed confidence
reposed in him upon the representation of
being a Union man. He then disguised his
true feelings and sentiments to smuggle
goods through the lines to the Rebels. Even
more than he did. He procured passes for
Secession women and sent them to Rich
mond to trive information of the doings of
our army.
Now he figures in another but similar
phase piloting Rebels through our lines in
such a Manner as to allow them to make a
successful raid.
Two brothers, J. II. nnd W. II. Miles,
Presiding near Sudley's Mills, have for some
lime past been harboring guerrillas, taking
care of their horses, and otherwise comfort
ing the enemy. A third brother is still at
large, but when caught will huve to pay the
penalty of his misdeeds.
A young lady, whose father was arrested
during the early part of the week, now
shares his fute, she too having been taken.
Yesterday her house was visited, nnd, after
being searched, she was politely requested j
to accompany the soldiers. This she did i
reluctantly. I
Upon the premises were found letters
which clearly show that she had been cor-
reponding with Rebels in Richmond. I
Some papers of un important character were !
not overlooked, and through them it is
learned that another raid has been planned
lor to-night.
It is hiirdiv likclv thut it will
now take place 1

I'okt II iVAi., S. C, March 7.
The punboat C'oncinntirh, I.ietitcnant
Cotumander Eastman, accomplished a very
clever thin? last week, while on her post oil'
Georgetown, S. C. A steamer was disco
vered, one lnorniii!!, making her way to
wards the entrance of the North Santes,
which lies to the north of the Georgetown
shouts with the intention of running into
that river, which has not recently been co
vered by a blockade, in consequence of tho
almost utter impossibility of any vessel, save
small bottomed ones, of crossing the bar,
which has but a few feet of water on it mid
is nl way 3 dangerous. It would seem that
thu Coneiniiugh was di-fovered by the
stranger about the time she whs made out
by the latter, and the former, fearing chase
and capture, from which she was not likely
to escape, was headed for the shore, and run
on it at full speed.
The captain, olllccrs and crew immediate
ly took to their bouts and landed, after
having set tire to the after part of thu vessel.
Lieutenant-Commander Eastman immedi
ately tscnt bouts to her, which reached her
after the tire was nearly extinguished. They
found her tftally deserted, ond after htiving
entirely extinguished the tlatnc, began an
e.uinination of the ship ami cargo. She
wus found to be a new etylo of Clyde built
iron steamer named t!ie Qttceu of the Wave,
mid loaded ith u valuablo cargo of mer
chandise ond powder. The former being in
her after hold, was partially destroyed, but
the powder, stowed forward, was uuinjured
and in good condition.

Credited.
Cincinnati. March 17. The reported
evacuation of Vicksburg is credited here on
two distinct grounds. One reason assigned
is, that the Federal troops have forced the
evacuation by the rear movement, cutting
off the Rebel supplies. Tho other reason is,
that Port Hudson is to bo left to hold the
Mississippi, while the rebel troops at Vicks
burg retire to tho interior, ultimately to
reinforce tho rebels in East Tennessee, for
another invasion in Kentucky.
Cincinnati, March 17. The reported
rebel advance on Fort Donelson is purely
sensational, nor has there been any fighting
near Jackson, Tcnn., with loss of urtiller, as
reported.
