4 'Short Settlements Make Long Friends."
Wo Lave so frequently renusded our friends
■who are in arrears, of tots propriety of settling
their accounts, that WP fee! almost ashamed
to call upon them again. But we cannot
print a paper without money, and, thererote.

bills and placed them in the hands cf Mr S
J. McCauslin, who is authorized to receipt for j
-us. Our terms of subscription have not been
changed, but owing to the exorbitant prices of]
all materials used by the printer, we arc com
pelled rigidly to enforce them. Hereafter.
two dollar! and j\tty cent: per year \\ I*l invariably
be charged, unless* the subscription le paid, in j
cash, at the beginning of tho year. This bar
been a part of our terms for it long time, bat :
heretofore we have not insisted upon i:. We
hope our friends will not permit us to don i
them again.
A Little Singular.
Some very strange things ate d< ne by the j
officers of the conscription. Wo do not wish j
to make any factious complaints, and we refer
to the case of which we are about to speak, ]
because it affects oOr political opponents much
more severely than the Democracy, and, there
fore. our motive in bringing it before the pub
lic cannot bo misconstrued. Under the recent
call, the quota of Bloody Run, was fixed at
t-gh*. There could be no deficiency in that
district, ns the previous calls Lad been filled by
-Tolcateew. Ye, of the sixteen men drafted,
thirteen were held to service. What G s means
we are arable to comprehend. By the same
hind of figuring, Bedford Borough, although j
having filled its quota, may, under tha next
call, be drafted for deficiencies under former
calls. We should like to see this matter ex-1
plained.
Pennsylvania and the Cabinet.
Poor Pennsylvania! A hewer of wood,
and drawer of water for tho New England ;
round-heads, they have denied her all repre- ;
sentation in the cabinet of Mr. Lincoln. The
Yankee states and the Northwest rule the
roast. They laugh Cameron to scorn, and as
for Forney, they think he does well enough in
the President's kitchen, licking the dirty din
ner plates. Oh ! how arc the mighty fallen 1 |
How is the once proud crest of the glorious
Cornmcr.wealth bowed in :hc dust 1 Prohpu- '
I
dor ' oh ye people, how long will you be tram
pled in the dirt!
igyThe Spring election, where there was any
contest, and where it waa possible fur the p.o- ]
pic to gr-t to the polls, resulted in gratify ing sac*
cesses to the Democracy. In some of the dis
tricts, however, there was no contest on politi
cal grounds. In eeveral townships but a small
vote was polled, owing to the swollen condition j
of the streams, as in St. Clair and Londonder
ry. Only about one-seventh of the usual vote
was polled in the latter township nnd JU the '
former but about one-half. Jur.i ita, Napier.
Harrison, SchtUsburg, Cumb' 1 Vail y, South
ampton, Snake Spring and Bedford townships
did the clean thing, without a scratch or blem
ish. A half dozen other districts did very- well,
but could have done better. *
fcyril. NicodemuJs, E.q , has been Justice of
the Pence, in this borough, for ten years. Da
ring that time he has been a consistent Demo
crat, and the result is that he has been re-elect
ed by an overwhelming majority. When elect
ed five years ago, Ids colleague on the Demo
cratic ticket, wc6 J. W. Lingenfclter, Esq.—
Unlike Esq Nieodetnie, tho latter proved fulse
to his party and to his early friends, arid the
result is that at the recent election he received
twenty votes less for re-election, than did Esq.
Nicodemus. Had he been true to tho [arty
that first elected him to office, he would not,
Lave boeu thus rebuked.
£3fOur friend, 0. E- Shannon, Esq., has
purchased 6ome oil territory in what is consid
er! the heart of uii-dom. His terms being rea
sonable, tho shares are being trken rapidly.
Mr. Shannon purchased ti.'s territory, after
cartful personal inspection, t ! we Lave no
doubt, made judicious selection*. A Prospec

To THE PEOPLE—A Government Intdli- j
gence office has been opened in Washington i
city, D. C , by R. M. Hall & Co., and any '
persons desiring information concerning any !
matter connected with the Government De- :
pari men t., War Office, Ordnance Office, Treas- j
ury, P,ft Office, Pension Office, or concerning j
bounty, tack pay, &c., can have the same fur
nished tbem promptly, by addressing these gen- '
tlecaen ar:d enclosing $2.00. This w a cheap j
woy of getting desirable information of any
kind, from Washington. They refer to Jay

, of "Harper" is before us. It contains the usual 1
i amount of pleasant and instructive reading. — j

| lins, and "Our Mutual Friend," by, Charles
Dickens, are continued. The editor's tabic is
racy as ever.

himself and t!:e nation by appearing in a st to t
of intoxioatiou at I in* time of his indu'tion in

lin, drunken ech, nut because we hoped there- I
' by to hide tiie unpler.s int fact upon our read- i
ers, or shrink from condemning th • grievous fault
committed, but because we hoped that a little
delay would bring us some mitigation or ihe
report, and render the transact! >n less disgrace
ful than was at first stated. W have waited, -
however, in vain ; and now that the facts are
beyond dispute, w join with the Kcp-nhfican |
! press of the country in telling ti.o Vice Presid t i
tl at !.: vi" utterly di- re •, 1 . iuis. if. i] |
. his party to the keenest mortification, and made ;
his country, a laughing stock in the eyes of
the world, the least reparation be can make is. '
to resign. After the exhibition of himself, he
j cannot occupy that place any longer with hOn- 1
!or or credit. His good name is lost, and he
! cannot regain it by holding on to a place he
has disgraced. If he attempts to liold <a to
'it he will thereby show himself insensible to
shame, and therefore all the more unfitted for j
- that high position.
! But what if lie does not resign ? Then let i

HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF THE |
Mississipri, JN THE FIELD, Feb, 24, 18G5. j
Lieut. Gen. Wade Hampton, Commanding Cav- |
airy Forces C. S. A , General—lt is officially
reported to me that our foraging parties are i
murdered after capture, and labeled "Death to ;
j all foragers." One instance of a lieutenant and ;
Lsevcn men, near Chesterfield and another of j
i twenty, "near a ravine, eighty rods from the I
main road," about three mi . s from Feaster- |
ville. 1 have ordered a similar number of pri- |
OUSTS in our hands to be di-poeed of iu like
manner.
I hold about a thousand pri-one.rs captured
-in various-ways, and can stand it as long as
you ; but I hardly think the e murders are com
mitted with your knowledge, and would z? t i
that you nice notice to the people at large that
every life taken by them simply results in the
death of one of your confederation.
Of course you cannot question my right to
forage on the country. It is a war-right as old
as history. The manner of exercising it varies
with circumstances ; and if the civil authorities
will supply my requisitions, I will forbid all for
aging But I find no civil authorities who can
respond to calls for forage or provisions, and
therefore must collect directly of the people. I
have no doubt this is the occasion of much mis
behavior on the part of our men, but 1 cannot
permit an enemy to judge or punish with whole
sale murdor.
Personally, I regret the bitter feelings engen
dered by Ibis war but they were to be expect
ed ; and I simply allege that those who struck
the first blow and made war inevitable ought
not in fairness to reproach us for the natural
consequences. I merely assert our war-right
to forage, and my resolve to protect my foragers
to the extent of life for life.
I am, with respect, your ob't servant.

Extensive preparations are being made in •
Gram's camp for the contemplated advance of j
i the Federal army. G tier i Longstreet is in i
! command of tho Confederates at i'ett rsliurg, |
| and if is reported that Gen. I,r.- has gone to ;
j Gol kboro, to superintend the operation against '
Sherman.
It is announced that the reason Sheridan !
turned back from Lynchburg in his recent raid,
was that lie found Lynchburg strorgly fortified
and garrisoned. He has not yet been heard
from.

to hear very scon of a movement by Gen. Grant.
1 lie Confederates are very active—troops are '
constantly moving to and fro, and it is reported
that a detachment of Lee's army has gone South
to oppose Sherman. There are also rumors that
the Confederates at Petersburg are preparing ■
to attack Grant. All the sick, wounded, a> '
non-combatants in the Federal camp have been
sent to City Point.
General Sheridan has passed to ihe east of
Richmond. On the loth he was on the line of,
the Richmond and Fredericksburg railroad, 1
twenty miles due norlh t.f Richmond. He has i
destroyed a great deal of railroad and other
property. It. is expected that ho will soon com
municate with Grant's right.—
