£hc guipiran Citizen. The Largest Circulation of any Paper in the County, THOMAS ROBINSON. - - Editor. M. W. WPEAR, PMbiTwi»fr7 BUTLER PA. WEDHESDAY APR. 12. »SO.\ *l®-"Liberty and Union, Now and Faraver, Ona and 'nseparable.» —D. Webster. BUT Our readers wiH please notice the advertisement of ''Teachers Examina tion," in to-day's paper. B@~Some of our friends have been al- ] most ready to censure Mr. Williams, for not circulating documents more freely.— On his behalf we wish to say, that the fault » in the printing bureau which, i cm iHg to th« scarcity of labor and the i pressure'of business, is unable to do the printing in time to give members of Con gress an opportunity of distributing them in usual quantities. Indeed were the government to cease > printing large quantities of documents, i Sir promiscuous circulation, a great source j of expense would be cut off. while the • time of Congressmen, could be much bet ter employed in prosecuting their legiti- i mate duties, which are often neglected, of j necessity to attend to the franking and mailing of documents which, while they cost the government large sums of money, arc often oflittle service to those receiving them. ®SM>u last Friday afternoon, a dis patch was received here, to the the effect j that Sheridan had capturad half of Lee's j *rmy —and this was soou followed by an other, announcing the capture of Lee him nelf, and his entire army. The joy of our people was unbounded. A meeting was I failed aii the Court House, in the evening, j which was presided over by His Honor j Judge MeGuffin. A minute of the pro-j cecdings of the meeting, will be found in another e*luwn. The speeches on the occasion was happy, and well received.— J The excitement was much more intense, j and the demonstrations of joy much more emphatic, than those on Monday evening, which proved so offensive to the '-Observ er" of the HeraUl.. Our patriotic fellow citizens should mak*. a sufficient apology, for this fresh evidence-of their disregard for the sentiments of their "conservative" aeighbor. Bfcir By the Commercial, of .Saturday, J wo are informed of an impromptu meet j ing of patriotic citizens of Pittsburgh, j held in front of the post office, which was J " engineered" by Hon. Thomas J. Ring- J ham. Most of the prominent citizens, | who happened to'pass, seems to have been pressed into service for a speech. Dr. MVQacdisgs was also pressed for a song, which was forthcoming on condition that the veritable Senator would dance to the music, which ho accordingly did. The meeting was finally adjourned by prayer liy a Reveraml gentleman. We recollect of a similar state -of things the night of She last Presidential election, where DlTs were found mixing freely in the foolish levity of inebriated politicians. We are ! not of thnne who believe that the clergy should not mingle in politics—far from | it; but we do think that when they do j mingle, they skould labor to raise the moral standard of politicians, rather thus ,to Ktoap .to their (too often) low 'level. But, under all circumstances, fhey should avoid countenancing intemperance. Indeed | itseemstous strangethata community so j ertltivated, and«o religious as Pittsburgh and vicinity couldcountenancesuch indul •gence on the part of her venerable Sena tor, for, surely, it "all right," fle would not niske huuself so redicilous as to act the part of a dancing-master for the omuscment of the promiscuous throng on Fifth street. We believe this is a fitting time to be joyful, but the joy of the true patriot is ■otthe joy so often displayed by many, J which c»»«ti«ts in getting drunk, and run- ! Hing iuto all sorts of excesses, but rather the joy of the christian, who, feeling that lie is " delivered from tke body .of this death," from the great weight that Si at bung over him, can shed tears of joy— of gratitude aud of sileut praise. Such is the state of raiud that becomes us just now. (irowlinc. our last issue we announced the.fact j that cm {/eople, on hearing of the fall of Petersburg and Richmond, became quite 1 joyful; that bauds played, bells rung, &c. In the lie-raid of the-sauie date, we find tlie editorial column occupied by a criti- 1 -cism on the propriety of such dewoufitra- ' tions. The article was thought to tie 1 much o»t of place by mauy of our eiti- \ lens. We have, therefore, thought prop er to reproduce it entire, not wishing to ' misrepresent its spirit or bearing. It is as follows : "On Monday night last, while tkedaells j were riugiug and the drums were beat ing over the intelligence that Richmond had fallen, it was not difficult for an oh. •erring tuan to distinguish those who bad J an interest in the army—a son—a broth er, or a husband, from those who were not represented therein. The Shoddy patriots, of the race of War Hneaks, who had nothing to loose in front of Richmond, who knew that those who bit the dust in that bloody conflict, wore unconnected with them, could throw up their haLs, re joice with exceeding great joy. and olaim the victory as their own. For our part we could not join in the geueral jubilee. We rejoiced that the rebel stronghold had fallen; but we re gretted exceedingly, that its fall, by the mismanagement of those iu authority, had been postponed to so late a day— that so uiany valuable lives had been uselessly, yes, wickedly sacrifice \ to pro mote the political and persona interests of corrupt, aspiring men, befori our gal lant army was permitted to enter the reb el capitol. The same mail « hich brought us the intelligence that Richmond had been forced to surrender, conveyed the news that a biother, and other relatives, par ticipated in the battles of the 25th ult. Through these engogements they passed unhurt.—Rut who can tell their fates in the struggle which terminated in the cap ture of the rebel citadel. Perhaps they passed through the conflict uninjured. Perhaps some of them—the one most near and dear to us. was severely wouuded or killed in the fight. Who huows the re suit? We confess that we do uot; but hope for the best. While our minds is excited with the feelings of hopo aud fear, singularly co mingled together, sen sible men—honest christian men—if there are such, will excuse us if wo fail; yes. absolutely refuse to mingle with the exulting crowd. Mother is not tcjoicing to-night. She is thinking of the bloody struggle; of her youngest soil, upon whom, in her old days, while tottering on the verge of the grave, she depended for suppsrt. She knows that he has been mingling in the c ash of arms and is offering up prayers for his protection. But now the thought occurs to her that perhaps he is number ed with the dead; She then weeps for her last born, and prays that this unholy war. this bloody conflict may cease, aud that peace may be restored to the land. The wife ot that son is not shouting with joy—she fears that her husband has fallen in battle—that she has been de prived of a companion—a faithful help mate. and that hei children may eventu ally be crying for bread. Under such circumstances, surely it is not expected that we shall join iu the gen eral jubilee. Perhaps there are souie situated similar trtus, who are mingling with the mirthful crowd ; but we arc so constituted that we cannot weep and re joice at the same time. Lot the Shoddy patriots howl—.let the War sneaks ex ult; let those chose friends and relatives participated in the late struggle, mingle in the joyful crowd, if they can. For our part, we are not yet prepared to par ticipate in such demonstrations. While we rejoice that another rebel stronghold —the capitol of the conspirators, has fal len into the hands of oar victorious forces —we regret that so many brave men have been lost—the number of widews and or phans—the number of weeping aud af flicted fathers and mothers have been largely incjeased throughout the land." AN OBSKRVKK. Butler, April 4, 1865. Now who is meant by " Slwddy patri ots of the race of war sneaks" who " threw up their hats" we are not able to say. Was it the old gentleman who wrung the Court-house bell'! Certainly not, for he had a son in front of the rebel wofks, and don t yet know whether he is among the living or dead. Still, with tears of joy, perhaps, running down his cheeks, he, like a true patriot, rejoiced. It could scarcely be Sheriff Breckinridge who had beared his bosom to the rebel bullet, and who ha* been identified by friends with almost ovcry corps. Who, then, could it be who has so offcuded "Observer ? " Certainly there was no conduct on that bccasion that should have offended any loyal man. But to us it seemed quite .natural that there should be a growl from that .quarter. It was not to be expected that those who have witheld their sym pathy frotn the Union causo from the be ginning, should see the cause of their Southern brethren - go down indarkness— in infamy, without uttering a protest. But let such howl, their fate is as surely scaled as is that of their old Democratic friends, who, for the last four years, have iWluged the country in blood. History wii! assign them their proper place among tWeuemies of their country. Hi* The official dispatches in our pa per this sreek, we trust, will be satisfac tory to *ll loyal citizens. The ouee pow erful army of "Northern Virginia" is now ■ no more. Virginia is jigaia free from the iron rule of Jefferson Davis aud company. A C ARD. MR. ROBINSON :—l* see by perusing the Herald that the demonstrations- of joy, made on Monday evening ol last week, was distasteful to it. So fai ax the ringing of the bell is concerned, I denire to stale that I.am individually responsi ble. As to rcjeicingoverthe fallof Rich mond, I oould have Rejoiced if I were dy ing ou the battle-jield from the effects of a rebel ball.

(In Monday trains were eon | stantly arriving, laden with provisions and | stores.

Sheridan, in a dispatch to Gen.

MEMPHIS, April 8. The Bulletin of this evening says : A report prevails, well authenticated, that Selma, Alabama, was captured and burn- I cd, a few days ago, by a cavalry force of<Geo- Thomas' command. Our released Prisoners The Wilmington (N. C.) correspond- ! ent of tho Pre w confirm the tale of hor rors so often told in regard to the barbar ous treatment of our prisoners by the rebel authorities. Wo mako a couple of ex-j tracts : : The condition of tne prisoners, who, by the recent jail delivery, consequent upon 1 the exchange now in operation, have de livered into our hands by the rebel author ities, is still the subject of universal in dignation. Even some of the citizens who make no secret of their Southern sympa thies, freely express their sui prise and horror at the sight which everywhere meets their eyes, in the pale, cmanciated forms of these men. It has already been stated that ten thousand of these men were to heve been received at this point. .On Saturday last we were notified that tho last had been sent. Rut of the ten thou sand only eight thousand six hsndred and . eighty-four were received, of whom nine hundred and nenety-two wore officers, . and seven thousand six hundred qnd nine ty-two were enlisted men. Thcreare three . causes why we did not receive the fujl ■ number. Eirntlj/ —Many who wore in tended to be regularly exchanged have escaped the rebel clutches during the evacuation of and retreat from Wil mington. SecuntHy —Many on their ,way from the libel prisons were so unable to bear (be futigues of a journey that they sunk in a «tpte of qthaustation. and WSM I thrown from tlie cars tipou the way down. | Many of tlie bodies they cast away as so I much carrion, were, of course, mere lil'e- I less clay; but, others, horrible to tell— I as our forces iti advancing have since dis covered, yot retained the vital spark fee bly burning in thoir boFtmip, Thirdly— Many died within the rebel lines before the rolls were made out. Never wero men in a civilized country in more desti tute condition than those we have receiv ed here. Two thousand were unable to walk, and were what is called technically spcaknjr, 'stretcher patients." There was liot a stout stioug healthy man in the whole number we have received. The two thousand who wero most deliberated aro in the General llospita;. The others are scattered all over the city in different buildings devoted to hospital purposes.— fifteen die oi'fjry day. upon nn average. Half their limitscannot t e obtained, as they are t< o week topronounae them, a>jd have no papers which can lead to thpir j identification. Most of them on their re ception here, in a nearly naked condition. | Home wero entirely so, and the best clad 1 had only rags for covering. j Everywhere in the lower part of the city the eye is afflicted by tho sight of i s/iilctiin.t of men arrayed in every sort of | illicooth garb. You look at ib»ir strange, I unnatural faces atid wander sshcthor these are the visages of living men or not rath er jurcliineiit skius drawn over a lleshlcss skull. Their eyes arc sunken, and you scarcely see Ijiat. they have vision. They are often hatlcss, and you will see the head of a young man or buy bald as an old | man's pate. A few weak straggling hairs ' i.-sall that unfiling has Left, or that starved nature has been able to sustain. These poor beings, when they are strong enough to creep about, wander a little away from their hospital,-! and sun themselves upon cellar-doors and lie on brick pave;i.;-nts..— In the hospitals aro men with wounds in which worms breed and feed on the living fie.*h. You tee uien whose toes have been eaten into by disease and Maggots, till the joints have dropped off. These men havo their feet bound up in rags, and they hob ; hie slowly about, supporting their falter li-ng footsteps by rude sticks. You would suppose that those men had reached tlw very pit of human misery, but if you cou ; verse with tlicni they will tell you that they aro happy. They have been in tho bauds of inhuman creatures, men with out hearts, almost without souls ; now they are with their friend*, and they are py. They been foully maltreated Ntid starved ; now they are tenderly cared forswd fed. Ilouic.is beckoning to them.

Attorn kt U i:n ehai/k ( )ffice, ) March 24, 18'i5. j Sir:—ln your letter of 22d inst. yau ask whether the 14th sec'iou of the Act approved 3d March 1865, entitled "An actio amend the several acts heretofore passtd to provide for the enrolling and calling out the national forces, and for other purposes," is ajvplicable to tlie call for troops made by the I'resident 19th December 18(34. The section is as fol lows : " That iieroafter aK persons -mustered i-uto the military or naval service, wheth er as volunteers, substitutes, representa tives or otherwise, shall be crediteiLto the State, and to the ward, township, precinct | or other enrollment sub-distrsct where such persons belong by actual residence, i (if such [ >eisutis ba.'e ajj actual residence within the United States, and where such 1 persons wero or shall be enrolled (if lia ble to enrollment;) and it iB hereby made the duty of tho l'rovost Marshal General ! to make such rules and give such instruc tions to the several Provost Marshals and Hoards of Enrollment, and mustering Of ficers, as shall bo necessary for the faith ful enforcement of the provisions ot section,-to tho end that fair aijd jugt credit shall be given to every section of the coun try : I'roriderl , That in any call for troops hereafter, 4lo eouoty town, township, ward, precinct, or election district, shall have credit except for men actually furnished en said call, or the proceeding call, by said county, town, township, ward, pre cinct or election district, and mustered into the military or naval service on tho .quota thereof." The 27th seqtion makes tho Act take effect from and after its passage. The 11th section furnishes tho rale -by which men, icheu mustered into the mili tary or naval service and credited to the various localities frojn wbicji they come. The loth section furnishes the rule by which credits are to be gives, when com puting for the fjuotas of»the various draft districts. Hut the 15th section has a pro viso, which expressly prohibits the appli cation of the rule therein given to the pending draft. From the faet that there is no such proviso to the 14th section, it would seem that it was intended th->t credit-should be given when the musteriiu/ in under the pending call. Hut the 14th section liasa proviso, tho peculiar language of which would, at first blush, seem to favor tjjp idijjj that Congress • intended that the rule, in that section pre scribed, should be future to the pending call, and not future to the passage of the Act. That proviso declares that credit shall not bo given, excest for inen actually furnished on said on said call or the pro ceeding call. The manifest purpose of the proviso is to limit the time within which a credit may be demanded. This section mijst be regarded as tak ing tfleet from tho passage of the A;t, unl.ess such a construction is consistent with, or forbidden by, otlwr parts of the Act. As is stated in my opinion to you of the loth of March, it appears from the face ofthp A.cfj that, at the time it was passed, there was a pending draft under the ealj for troops in December, 18«4, and it is carefully provided that nothing in tho Act shall operate to postpone the pcndijig draft, or interfere with the quotas asittflfik' cd therefor. Now, the rule credits at the time of mn*te.rinif ! not. postpone the present draft or with the vuotas assigned therefor, j It seems to me that is notUin^^Bfij tin Act that prevents the the 1 Ith section to the present daaf't, less it may be the proviso thereto. It was intended by that proviso simply to limit "the time within which credits might Us claimed and not to postpone tho applica tion of the rule of credits, when muttering in.to future calls. I am of the opinion tj)?t tho 14th section of paid apt is applicable to tiiciall fortroop* made by the President on tho 19th Per cember. 1804.
