THE CUT OF "STOP THIEF." —The Abolition
zd "Republicans" know that they deceived
the people, when at the commencement of the
war, they assured them that armies were not be
ing raised for the abolishment of slavery, and
that the war was to be waged only for the res
toration of the Union. Hence, when the poor,
weary, diseased and worn out soldier deserts in
order to visit his starving wife and children,
these miserable polilical hucksters, (feeling that
on them rests the blame for the discontent which
caused him to leave the army) in order to screen
their own guilt from public observation, raise
the cry that the "Copperheads" nnd those whom
they term "Secession Sympathizers," are the
cause of desertion. But the people know that
the Abolitionists alono are in the fault. They
got men to enlist by telling them that they were
not to tight to free the negro, but only for the
Union. They have broken their word with
those men and are now trying to compel them
to fight for the freedom nf the negro. That is
tho reason why there is so much desertion.—
The cry of "stop thief!" will not do in this
ertse.
DOWNRIOHT FATAIFICATTOK. —The Abolition
organ around the. corner tells n deliberate false
hood when it says that its party friends earned
their wholo ticket in East Providence tp., at the
late Spring Elections,(with the exception of two |
Inspectors) "by a hundred and ten or twenty !
majority." The Abolition majority in that tp. I
has been cut down to 50 and 60 for the differ- J
cnt township officers, whilst their inspectors have ■
each, only five or six majority over tho Demo- !
cratic candidate. The highest Abolition vote :
polled wns only 110, whilst the Democratic vote '
was 45, as large as is generally polled at State '
elections. Tho Organ also claims "loyal gains" i
in West Providence, Middle and South Wood-1
bury and Union! It must moan Democratic, i
gains, for in all of those townships the Demo
crats have done better than they have for years.
Try another "load of poles," Wheelbarrow! j
This one is rather loose!
MADAME DKMOREST'S MIRROR OF FASHION.—
We are in receipt of this excellent work on the
fashions, and must concede it tho palm for thor
oughness and reliability. It Is beautifully gotten
up. heinp finally and profusely embellished with |
colored plates of the fashions, in the best style ;
of engraving. Madame Demorcst's patterns,
accompanying the hook, form a novo!, hut very
important and useful feature of the work. If
oar fair readers desire a good fashion book, let j
them send nt once for "Demorest's Miror." |
HOWARD HOUSE, BAI.TIMOBE. —This well;
known and popular hotel has passed into the 1
hands of Cot.. W. G. REAMER, under whose
proprietorship it will be greatly improved in
many important particulars. We hope that
such of our friends as may visit Baltimore, will
do themselves the favor of stopping at the How
ard.
ijy Whenever you hear of Abolition talk from
the Army, depend on it that it comes from some
fellow who expects promotion or who is feath
ering his nest by tickling the political prejudi
ces of the War Department. There are plen
ty of miserable creatures in the army (as well
as elsewhere) who would sell every principle they
ever had (an l lbcn would not part, with much)
for a few hundred dollars in greenbacks. Wo
admire and love the honest, straight-forward
soldier who does his duty because he thinks it is
done for the good of his country; hut we have
quite a different opinion of the fellow who writes
borne that he believes in exterminating the peo
ple of tho South, men, women Hnd children, and
adds r postscript stating that he has been pro
moted to some petty little office.
SO"The House of Depresontatives at Ilarris
burg has passed a hill to prevent tho immigra
tion of negroes into this state. The same body
has also passed resolutions protesting against
the tyrannical and unconstitutional acts of the
President of the United States. Of course
neither of these movements will go through the
Abolitioniz.'d Senate. The people of Pennsyl
vania will regenerate that branch of the legis
lature at the next election.
icj-Our old friend E. M. Fisher, familiarly
known as "Cheap John," is about to establish
a general variety and shoo store, in the room
recently occupied by J. D. Magill, and former
ly used as a store room by Sam'l. Drown,
deo.'d. Wo have no doubt that Mr. Fisher's store
will be quite ttn addition to the merchandising
business of our place and hope that he will re
ceive his share of public patronage.
We have received several numbers of the new
Democrat ic Morning daily, just started in Phil
-adeiphia by A. J. Gloasbrenner & Co., entitled
"The Age." It is edited with much ability
and is neatly and tastefully printed. We doubt
not thai "The Age" will prove a valuable ao
oeasion to tho newspaper press of the country

HTWe have received from John Fulton, Esq.,
the able Engineer of the If. & B. T. It. It. Co.,
several copies of a miniature map of the Broad
Top Coal Region. It is very well executed and
is, no doubt, entirely correct. Mr. Fulton will
please accept our thanks for this and many o -
tber kind favors.
tfcTWe nro in receipt of the "Johnstown Dem
ocrat," a new paper, published by our friend
Jas. F. Campbell, Esq., lately of the Westmore
land Bepubhcan. Campbell is a good editor and
a "clever follow." May his shadow never grow
less!
*yOnr Monroe friend will be welcome to
our columns, when he divests his communica
tions of personalities. His article is well writ
ten. but is entirely too personal. We will be ,
glad to hear from him in a different strain.
CrFitzroy's article, though well written and !
containing more truth than poetry, connot np
pear, as the author did not give us his real j
name, an indispensable requisite to insure pub- j
lication.

Letter from Little Berks.
CUMBERLAND VALLEY, 1
MARCH 30th, 18G3. J
Mr. Meyers:—
I happened, by accident, one day last
week, to obtain a copy of that precious illumin
ator of the "political horizon," yclept the Bed
ford Inquirer. After perusing a letter contain
ed in said paper, purporting to have been writ- 1
ten at "Camp Humphreys, near Falmouth,Va.,"
and filled with two columns of stuff and venom,
1 came to the conclusion that "John Smith"—
although known all over the universe—was no
longnc the great man of tho great Smith family j
for the name of the writer of that letter is Al
bert Smith, and he, surely, must be the great
man of all the. Smiths. Why, doesn't he look
down with lofty disdain on Geo. B. McClellan
and call him "Chutfy Macf" And doesn't be
call Democrats "Copperheads," and glorify the
nigger and besmear Abe Lincoln with praise I
And isn't that enough to make a great man of
any body! But we here in the valley know Al
bert Smith to be a great man. lie always was I
a great liar, a great slandorcr, a great reporter
of untruths for the Bedford Inquirer, a great
know nothing, a great nigger-lover, a great "blow
horn'' generally, and now, I doubt not, he is a
great soldier, though some of his enemies do
say that he "skulked" on a ecrtain occasion when
it was more for his bodily comfort to do so than
to do what be ought to have done. Of course,
Albert doeßn't get any pay for his fighting.
Great men light only for glory ami for their c
quals—tiie niggers. As Albert is a great man,
of course ho considers you, Mr. Editor, only "a
thing." I quote from his letter:
"Citizens of Bedford county, he careful how
you handle 'that thing' in the 'Tory office,'
which is a legislator in embryo. It will ruin your
reputation as a people, destroy your liberties
and disgrace your state. For God's sake keep
all such characters out of our legislative coun
cils. Surely the boasted Democracy of Bedford
county has not 1 become so degenerate as to de
grade themselves and the party they represent
by taking such men as their standard hearers—
men who are, dripping with rotten stench of
treason —men whose every act has been in sup
port pf treason at home and abroad."
There j*f>u have it, Mr. Editor! Gen. Mc-
Clellan is "Chuff? Mac," you arc "a thing" and
Albert Smith is a great man! I do hope, Mr.
Editor, that you will not decline being a can
cidate, merely to alleviate Albert's anxiety for
the "boasted Democracy." True, ho has al
ways been very anxious about the fate of that
party, being one of the corporal's guard in
this township, who have prayed for v ears to sec
its end, hut -till my dear sir, we can't always,
do every thing to please our friends. So you
just stay on the track, let hypocrites howl on,
and keep an eye single to Democracy and we'll
show Albert Smith when the timo comes, how
much we'll take his advice or that of any other
hare-brained Abolitionist.
Yours,
EYE-OPENER.
Bebel Acoount.
LAKE CITY, Kin., Murch 10.—The Federal
gunboats and two transports name up the St.
Johns river to Jacksonville this morning, and
landed a force of negro troops, throwing out
pickets as far as the brick yard a mile and a
half. Our troops are being moved within three
miles of tho town, and a fight ia expected in
the morning.
LAKE CITY, Fin., March 11 —Our forces at
tacked tho enemy near Jacksonville this morn
ing at 9 o'clock. After hard fighting for 20
minutes we charged them, when they retreated
in haste to their gun-boats. Our infantry pur
sued tbem into town, and when near tho Jud
son Square encountered another force of the
enemy, which was also driven back. One mftn
and three horses killed on our side. Loss of
she enemy not known. We captured a sot of
surgical instruments,., which showed signs of
recent use. Numbers engaged not known.
Repulse of Gen. Banks' Advance—Cap
ture of Two Federal Regiments.
Correspondence of the Potion Courier.
Nnw ORIJBAWS, March 14.—Before this reach
es yon. you will probably lenrn from "South
ern Sou roes" the repulse of Banks* advance, n
boot twelve miles from Bnton Rouge, of the
force under Col. Dudley, and his loss of two
regiments.—Such is the uncontradicted rumor.
The publication of such news here is contra
bands Col. Skymurzky, of the Confederate
nrmv, came in yesterdav under a flag of truce
with some 350 paroled Federals. A similar
number will lw brought in n few davs from a
oross Lakc'Ponchartrain, supposed to be part of
Dudley's command. Some of the old Bostoni
ans mnv remember Skvmurzskv as the hand
some f> | feet young Polander, who came to Bos
ton about thirty years ago. after his exile from
Poland. The sturdy Rebel will be remembered
by the old belles and Tromonters of those by
gone dnys.
Rebel Movement in Arkansas.
ST. LOUIS. March 30.—A gentleman direct
from Fnyetteville, Arkansas, says the Little
Rock True Democrat of the 16th nnnounses the
arrivnl of Gen. Price at that point, who would
soon take the field with Hindman's armv. The

lecting the scattered Rnltel forces north of the

erating against our troops in that section.
The Invasion of Kentucky.
CINCINNATI, March 25.—The Rebel force
which has occupied Danville, Kentucky, is be
lieved to be the Advance of Longstreot's divi

erable father, who was one of the first to in

ots who joined their fortunes to the illustrious
O'Connell, in the beginning of his career. The
deceased lady was distinguished for piety, char
ity and for all the virtues which mark the course
of the truly righteous in the church of God.
She was extremely generous and liberal to the

ing the House of God. She was a true mem
ber of the Roman Catholic Church, received in
her illness all its rites and consolations and ful
ly corresponded to all the hop s of her noble
race. Her remains according to her request,
were brought down from Herman's Bottom, and
consigned to their long home in the Cath
olic Cemetery of Bedford by her sorrowing
brothers Robert and Lewis Fyan accompanied by
a '-ast multitude of sympathizing relations, friends
and well wishers. "They that trust in Him
shall understand the truth : and they that are
faithful in love shall rest in Him; for grace and'
peace to His elect."—Book of Wisdom, 111 eh.
