IPttiwma ItiWnt. f AIiTOONA, PA TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1862 publish elsewhere an article beaded “The Progremme of Treason," which is either a villainous falsehood or a fearful fact. Our readers can judge for themselves. , j Chahoß of Pcbucatios Day.—A particular class of our job work interfered so much with the publication of our paper on Thursday, that we have determined to issue it on Tuesday hereafter, hoping thereby to be able to serve it mote regularly to onr .subscribers. <. The PnxsiDßirr's Meuaob.—We presume all onr readers: have read the President's Message ere this, consequently we have not published it. It is an important paper, one which will be frequemly refcned to hereafter, and one which has come in for more praise and censure than any message ever issued. The opponents of the Administration find nothing good in it, and its friends nothing bad. Thus it is in this land at this time.— Merit is Dpt recognized. Unless the man who makes a mark belongs to “our” pony we must cijy him down. ' ' Great Fire at Lock Haven. —A very des tructive die broke oat in Sloan’s cabinet ware robms, in Lock Haven, on Saturday morning week, about font o’clock. The wind being very high at the time, the flames toon communicated to the ad joining property. Over two squares of buildings were destroyed, including the Bank, the Clinton House, Post-office, European Hotel, Badger and Bedel’s Hardware Store, and about sixty stores, offices and'dwelliugs. Very little property could be saved in the buildings. The loss is estimated at $400,000. The Pirate “Alabama."— After a considera ble lapse of time, we again have some tidings of this celebrated and much dreaded vessel. On the morning of the 17th nit. she landed at Martinique with die officers and'crews of two Massachusetts ships which she bad captured and destroyed. On the same day the steamer “San Jacinto" arrived, and finding the “Alabama” in port, returned out side the harbor and awaited the appearance of the pirate. On the following night, the “Alabama” got under weigh, and being steered by a French pilot, escaped through a channel unknown to the officers of the “San Jacinto," and went to sea, to again pursue her infamous calling. Capt, Setnmes boasted that he had burned twenty-three vessels, and at one dime was within seventy miles of Sandy Hook. Asubsequent rumor prevailed at St. Thom as that he was taking in coal at St. Johns. This report. If true, will probably soon be confirmed by the information that our cruisers have captured her, and thus terminated her career of infamy. Directory of the Hospitals.

OCCUPATION FIRSTLIEE OF REBEL BATTERIES CAPTURED. • Washihgtos, Dec. 11. ■ The following has been received from the Army of the'Potomac: ■v Headqoabtebs Army or the Potomac,) Thursday Morning, 9A. M. j Everything last night was bustle ; and activity, as to-day was the time fixed for the crossing of the river. • During the night the pontoons were conveyed to the^river, and die artillery of 148 pieces placed in position opposite the city. At 5 o’clock this morn ing the rebels fired two signal guns, while during the latter part of the night rockets were frequently seen within their lines. At 5 o'clock the construction of three bridges in front of the city was commenced; when about half completed the enemy opened a murderous fire of infantry from the houses on the river'bauk. Up to this time not a shot had been tired from onr side. The engineers were driven from the bridges and several killed and wounded. At 6 o'clock Gen. Burnside ordered ail the guns to open on the city. The cannonading, which has continued without interruption up to the- present time, is terrible. The city is on fire, and its destruction appears to be certain. The enemy, about 7 o’clock, opened with their heavy-guns from their works, but so fur have done no serious injury. Gcp. Franklin constructed his bridge* about three tnailes below tbe city, meeting with slight ojj position. His troojis are now crossing. Tlte gunboats are now shelling the .enemy about fifteen, miles downthe river, where they have been, concentrating their forces during the,last two days. The concentrated tire of our batteries on the city has had the effect of driving back tlte enemy’s in fan tty, and the work on the bridges has again been commenced. The troops are all under arms near the river, prepared- to rush over as soon as the bridges are completed. ‘ [second dispatch.j Headquarters, Thursday—l 2 o’clock, 1 mon. —On the attempt being mode to finish the bridges in front of the city, the rebel inter, try Again opened their fire. " The artillery in position was again opened on the city, the result being that it was fired in sev eral new places. The enemy has used very little artillery up to this time, as it wotdd endanger their own men who are holding the river front. Gen, Burnside has just issued an order to con centrate every available gun upon the city, under cover of the fire of which it is believed the bridges cap be finished. The killed and wounded so far do not amount to over fifty men. Headquarters Arut of tub Potomac,) Dec. 11, Thursday Evening, j But little firing took place between one and three o’clock, during which time all the available batteries were plated m position. They then numbered 176 guns, and at « given signal all the batteries opened on the city. ’ The fire was terrible, but the rebel sharp shoot ers could not be driven from their hiding place. The shot and shell went crashing through the houses, in many cases setting them on fire, causing a dense smoke, together with the explosion of so large a quantity of |«.wder, almost Hid tie city from view. It soon became evident that the bridges could not be built except by u bold dash. Volunteers were called for to cross in! small boats. The order was no sooner given thart hun dreds of breves stepped forward, but all covild not go. About one hundred were selected; they w ere soon on their way. while the artillery threw a per fect storm of iron hail on the opposite banki They reached the opjjosite shore hut not Without loss. With fixed bayonets they rushed upbii the enemy, killing several and taking a hundred and one prisoners, who were safely landed on this side. At half-past l lour, two bridges were-finished op posite the city, when the troops iramediatelv be gan to cross over. The enemy were soon driven from the city back to their line of works. The two bridges in front of Gen. Franklin weie successfully laid early in the day, but his troops did not cross until the”two upper ones were ready. A sufficient force is now on the opposite side of the river to resist-: any attack that is likely to ha made. . , The rebels fired but few guns in the morning, and none in the afternoon ; although their works were in easy range during the forenoon. The rebels burnt the railroad bridge just outside of the citv. \ -i During the day between eight thousand and nine thousand rounds of ammunition was fired by our artillery. Everything is quiet to-night. The indications are that A battle will be fought to-morrow.-- Approved. £ A. E. BUUNSIDE. Headquarters Army or the Potomac,) Dec. 12, 10 o'clock.

Not much mercy was shewn ,to those whp were caught.. \ This morning a dense fog hid everything from view, hot it is now gradually- passing itway.

Conversing with a gentleman a few days ago, I wjth whom a reliel officer sojourned a short time * during the late invasion of Maryland, he related , the following as the snbstance of a social conversa tion between himself and the officer, who appeared to be a very free-spoken and candid gentleman, ' and a man of no ordinary degree of intelligence; and taking a particular liking to his host, who, i like himself, bad been an. uncompromising old line Whig, he spoke freely of the political issues of the day. Upon my friend's asking him how hr, being a disciple of the immortal Clay, could take , part in the destruction of this glorious republic, which was the pride and boast of that illustrious statesman, he replied that he did not. feel alto i gether at home in his present vocation, : and of.ec had serious doubts on.the subject: he thought the 1 Southern States should have made fidther efforts to right their grievances in the Union before going out of it, but that he found himself like thousands : of others, the creature of circumstances, although I he bad, in the beginning opposed secession as both ; impolitic and suicidal to the best interests of both I sections. The tremendous pressure brought to | he * lr u P° n the public mind in the South soon ■ caused the irrevocable step to lie taken, which ; made it too late for compromise, and as all his iii : terests lay in that section, and his fellow-country - | men had cast themselves into the breach, he ; though it best to cast in his destiny with theirs ! and, make common cause, press the issue to iilti | mate success, which he seemed to Imve but little I doubt of being the result of their struggle the i i*rincijMttaid'npcm which he relied as a means to i that end, was a disunion of sentiment at the North ; and the “ Democratic Parti/" was to be used as the j instrument to accomplish that very desirable object. My friend here remarked that he thought these ! expectations ill-founded, as Nothdrn Democrats ; had nobly responded to the call pf the President for troops, and were largely represented in the ■ suit} by l>ol h officers anil men, who would never i ce “se their efforts until (he rebellion was nncoiidi i fionally subdued, and the country re-united. j The officer replied Don't you deceive vour ; self in the sign of the times ; our 4 i/ame’ is a ' ilce/i one.
