gklt»oM lUritome. ALTOONA, PA. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1863. We notice that the Receipts end Expendi tures of Bedford county are not published in the Inquirer, a loyal paper. WjH the editor of that paper please give ns the reason? Can it be be cause the disloyalists hare the Board of County' Commissioners? If so, we would ask them to look at die coarse of oar County on that question. There are only two papers printed in that county —4he Inquirer being the loyal one. Here the editors who denounce the Republicans as “ Abo litionists,” publish it. None are left out except the guerilla sheet printed at the Jobbing office along the railroad, and it -onlybeoanse it is read blit little in one town. —Biair County Whig. Old “ Botheremf”. of the Whig, owed ns that last shot,. (for showing np his attempt to collect other peoples money without authority,) but it strikes wide of the mark. The fact is, the old lubber of the W&y has made the Tribune a spe cial mark for his cracked jokes, stale witticisms and unvarnished falsehoods ever, since he ascended the tripod and disgraced the editorial fraternity. Some nine months since we had occasion to lift the covering from his corrupt political carcass and bring down upon him the scorn and contempt of all honest men. He sqninned- and writhed con siderably about it, until the Sheriff cooled him down. The sores thus opened, being old and cor rupt refuse to heal, and their stench is still weekly transmitted through the mails and otherwise, much to the disgust of the recipients of his “ toady” pub lication. Probably his ulcers are like some we read of, closing of them would kill him. For this reason, we presume, be invites us to apply the lancet afresh. Considering the putrid carcass we must needs handle, we much dislike job, but for the benefit of the patient, as well as the public, we will probe two or three of the many open places. First—Lying. The editor of the Whig publishes a barefaced falsehood—not ignorantly—but design edly when he states that the Tribune was left ont of publishing the County Account. He knows thatit appeared in our paper, by authority of the Commissioners, on the same terms, and about the same time, that it appeared in the Whig. What the design of Brotherline was, in publishing a lie in which he would be so . easily caught up, we cannot imagine, unless it is from the pare love of lying, or because he has bejame go used to it that he cannot help it. That lying sore is an old one, and we think cannot he easily cored. Second—Avoricionsness. Some two months since we had occasion to expose an attempt made hr the editor of the Whig to collect a portion of another persons’ money, for his own use. He at tempted to do this by lying, bat the persons to whom bn applied were acquainted with his failing and refused to hand over. We refer to his at tempt to collect ticket money from the candidates of the Peoples’ Party, last fell. Brotherline did not print a ticket for them, and yet he had the audacity to ask the candidates to pay him for work done by the editor of the Sfguttr. When he could not induce them to shell put by merely claiming a portion of'the pay, he told a lie on us. by stating that he had an arrangement with us whereby be was to receive port of the ticket money. 'The old fellow was fooled nicely in that case, as we had nothing to do with the candidates, never having printed tickets for them.; and as to the ar rangement he never mentioned anything of the kind to ns. He never replied to our article. He knew 'we could prove what we had said, by good men. For this reason he owed us the shot given 'in his squib. This avaricious sore is a deep one andincnrable. ‘‘Third—Jealousy. This “ green-eyed monster” appears to haunt all the pathways of the Whig man. One town was not sufficient for the publi cation of bis extensive sheet, and did not monopo lize all the business of the county, consequently Altoona most be added to make the title more high sounding abroad. It is not considered a credit to the town that its name should Lbe thus appropriated. He affects to sneer at the railroad journal, and job office on the railroad, etc., as he styles our establishment, not because he does not envy ns our position, but because he does not hold it himself; Now he pretends to great purity, and is not unsparing in his denunciations of the “ mam moth corporation,” bnt it would only require a litle salve from the “ corporation" to make him the most sickening “ toady” that ever fawned upon it for favors. Jealousy alone prompts him to speak of the 'ffibtme as he does. This sore is, we fear, also past the surgeons skill. Oh I Johnny! What a hopeless case is yours. Three ugly sores preying on your vitals, and no hope of a cure for either. • If yon have any more ills, come again, and we will probe them you. Abkt News.—Of this, we have very little of interest this week. The Army of the Potomac is lying quiet. The army in Sooth Carolina is an nounced as preparing for work on Charleston or Savannah. Gen; Banks is in the neighborhood of Fort Hudson, on the Mississippi, and reports from Bebel sources say he has met a defeat at that point. The War Department, however, has no in formation to that effect. The, dailies of this morning announce the opening of the ball at Vicksburg. Undoubtedly that is the strongest point of tile Bebels, and if our forces succeed in carrying it, we shall have gained more than in any battle yet fought. , Bukoulk Shot.—A Aw nights ago a burglari ous attempt was made to enter the store of Mrs. Bucher, in Columbia, Pa. The burglar paid dearly for his attempt at robbery, for the proprie tor, owing to the nnmerous attempts at burglary which had lech made in that borough of late, had taken the precaution to be prepared for such char acters, and received the burglar by discharging a pistol at him, the charge from which inflicted a wound that caused bis death in a few hours.

Pennsylvania Central Railroad The receipts of this grand national artery of communication, flowing from its tributary veins ’ draining every portion iff the Western States, have i been, daring the year 1662, immeue. The total; revenue (as stated in the Sixteenth Annual Be- ; port of die Ccaaginy,) for 'the year just past | amounts to the unprecedented sum of $10,969,- j 239 72. The gross revenues of the line were j equal to $28,783 per mile of _rqed,JB69 miles,) j and exceed, in the aggregate, those of 1861, $3,- i 004,290 01. This is made up by an increase of $325,373 79 for Passengers and Emigrants; of $234,135 07 for troops; $2,270,394 29 for gen eral freights, and $174,186 86 for express and miscellaneous freights. The whole number of passengers carried over the road during flic year, was 1,243,418 averaging a distance of 72J miles for each passenger. The number of ;tons of freight moved, (includ ing 164,603 tons of fuel and other materials trans ported for the company,) was 2,223,051, embracing 835,146 tons of . cool. The increase in the coal traffic is 130,893 tons, and the whole tonnage of the line over that of last year, 602,465 tons. To aoccommodate this increase of tonnage—a large share of which is doe to the continued in terruption of-the ; navigation of the Mississippi— it has become necessary to expend $859,008 01 for 37 now locomotives and 930 leigbt wheeled freight and coal bars, and $341,03914 for addition al second track and sidings, the cost of all of which is included in the'operating expenses of the road. . The laying of a second track bos steadily pro gressed daring the year, so that the entire line is now donble track with the exception of 32 miles. To the able management of the road by the judicious officers placed in charge, the stockholders are indebted for die prosperity of '\c ’i' .don. The exemption from accidents of a'serious nature is doe to the skillful hands in charge of the trans portation department, and the excellent condition in which the road has been kept by the Chief En gineer and bis Assistants. A Vast and Important Enterprise. The correspondent of the Missouri Republican, with Gen. Grant’s army, gives the following in formation as to one of the proposed cut-offs by which the way is to be'opened to the Gulfs— “ But by far theraost important operation of the three it the proposed canal which it is intended to cut from Lake Providence into the Bayou Tenas or Bayou Macon, thence up the Tcnas'or Bceuf rivers into the Ouachita and Red rivers, leaving Vicksburg to the Eastward fifty miles. That this is quite feasible we have the testimony of : old river men. The Tenas and Bceuf are at times navigable for.small boats as far upas the Shreve port railroad crossings. , If a sufficiency of the Mississippi could be diverted into Lake Providence, the channel would be navigable for the Whole length of the Tenas. The strip of excavation is less than three miles in width, and Gen. McArthur is already at work upon it at that place with a brigade. ' The difficulty; in this case will not be to get enough water in to the channel, but to prevent getting too much. If old Father Mississippi but rises an inch tod high, or if" General McArthur and Colonel Bissell bat dig oat a few shovelsfuli too much, lie may not only escape Vicksburg, hut ruin the whole of Louisiana. The well known properties of the Lower Mississippi to cut and spread, I need no explain, farther than to say that, in high water there are innumerable bayous, branches, cutoffs, and even rivers, which run from and into the nearest stream in carious alternation. The New Orleans people noticed that, thirty years ago, the Mississippi was eating into the shores at the mouth of Red River, so os to be in danger of making over into the Atchafalays a river which is fed from the Red River and empties into the Gulf of Mexico at the bay of that name. This would have diverted the valuable river away from the city and left it by the side of an insignifi cant bayou. In order to prevent this catastrophe, they cut through a neck of land, a few miles be low the mouth of Red River, and the channel washing through, mode what is called theßacOurci cutoff. This had the desired effect, and New Or leans has grown somewhat in the interim. What would be the effect of turning any con siderable portion of the Mississippl.intp the Ten nessee and Bed river 7 There would be the most imminent danger of the torrent of Water rushing right into the Atchafalays with, such force as to permanently change the bed orthe Mississippi to that channel. This would be in effect to leave Vicksburg far inland, but it would also leave New Orleans, too. We should have ah independent passage to the ocean, but we should have destroyed the prosperity of New Orleans and the coast. The city would then become prey to the Confederate army, and the (peat artery of commerce be trans ferred a hundred miles farther west Tnis danger has not probably been foreseen by the engineers, hut should receive.their earnest at tention. So slepder are the threads upon which 'mighty destinies hang, that in the calculations of this engineer qr that hang all the fortunes and misfortunes of a people. Thousands of millions of dollars are at stake. 1 Heroic Conduct of a Becap- TCEES A VeSBED AND NxVIOATES IT TO A i^LACE of Safety. —Among the American vessels rap tured by the pirate Betribution was the American brigantine! J. P. Eliicott, 233 tons, of Bucksport, Me., A Devereaux, master, from Boston to Cicn fuegos, Cuba. She was captured on the 10(1) of January, in latitude 58 degrees 12: minutes North, and longitude 68 degrees 55 minutes West. - Her officers and crew were taken ‘on board the pirate and placed in irons. A prize crew was put on board the brig, consisting of Gilbert; Hay,a Scotchman, prize-master, recently from Port La fayette, and John Gilbert, mate, and live seamen. The captain and mate of the J. P. Eliicott wire accompanied by their wives. The wife of the mate was left on btyud the brig. This woman hind cause to fear,bad usaage to the bands of the prize master and his mate, and she managed, to get them intoxicated, when she proposed to "die sea men, who were mostly, if not'all Colored people from St. Thomas, to make them prisoners, andto capture the vessel. She took iron hand-cuffs from her trunkj and, with the assistance, put the pirates in irons, and took possession of the vessel on the 10th of January. She had studied naviga tion on the voyage with her husband, and, havipg assumed command, sailed for St. Thomas, till she spoke a French’ vessel which gave her the right course. She made Tortola, one of the Viigin Island’to the windward of St. Thomas, .whence she was piloted by colored people to; St. Thomas, where she arrived on the 17th ult., and placed her in the hands of John Edgar, United States Consul, who put the master, mate and. five seamen tin board the United States steamer Alabama. The DifpeUehce.—A fireman on the New York Central Bailroad asked the Superintendent for a pass, which he declined to give, saying “ The company employ you and pay you So much for your services, and there your trade ends. If yon were at work for a fanner for a dollar a day, and wanted to go to Saratoga, would yon expect him to bitch up his team and take yon there far nothing?" : , ' 1 “No, sir,” answered the fireman; “but if he had his team hitched up, and was going directly to Saratogo, I should say he was a d—d hog if be didn’t let me ride.” 49* The cost of a brigadier and his staff is about $16,000 a vaar, and the cost of a raqjor general and his staff, $24,000 Got. Curtin on Military Arregts. On Thursday week. Gov. Curtin sent to the Leg- islature the following reasonable message on mili tary arrests in Pennsylyvania, prompted, no doubt, by the action taken by the House in the Boileau case; To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: Gentlemkn :—I desire to call your attention to n subject of moment. . When.the.present infamous and God.condemned i rebellion broke out, Congress was not in session, 1 and the occurrence of such a state of things not having been foreseen in former times, no adequate legislation had to meet it. At the same , time the life of the country being at stake, it ap peared necessary that some means should be taken to control the small band of traitors in the loyal States so as to prerent them from machinations which might be injurious, if not fatal to the na tional cause. Under these circumstances the General Government resorted to the system of mil itary arrests of dangerous persons, and having thus commenced acting under it, have continued (at long intervals in this State) to pursue it. The Government of the United States acts directly on individuals, and the State Executive has no au thority, or means to interfere with arrests of citi zens of the United States made under the authority of that government. ■Every citizen of Pennsylvania is also a citizen of the United States, and owes allegiance to them, as well as (subject to the provisions of the Consti tution of the United States) he owes it to Penn sylvania. If he be unlawfully deprived of bis liberty, bis only redress is to lie had at the hands of the judiciary., In such times as the present it is more than ever necessary to pursue regularity in official action. Great efforts have been and are probably still being made, by persons blinded or ill disposed to throw us into a state of revolution: that is to say, to create anarchy and confusion — and ultimately to bring abom the destruction or life and property among ns. Any irregular, much more illegal, interference by your Executive, with matters which by the Constitution are not entrusted to bis.cognizance, and especially any such inter ference with the action of the Executive, of the United States o[ with the functions of the judi ciary, would be in the existing crisis emphatically dangerous; it would have a direct revolutionary tendency; in fact it wonid be to commence a rev elation. The courts of justice are open, and no doubt personal wrongs can be properly redressed in due course of law. I do not know how many arrests of the kind hereinbefore referred to have been made in Penn sylvania, as I have at no time been privy to the making of them, but I believe they have been few. I was under the impression that there would be no necessity for more of them, but recent events hav ing shown that this impression was erroneous, I deem it my duty now to invite your attention to the subject. The contest in which we are engaged is one for the preservation of our own liberty and welfare. The traitors at the south hate the great body of our people who are loyal, and hate and bitterly despise the few who are ready for submission.— Unless the rebellion be effectually suppressed we must lose our pride of country, the larger portion of our territory, and the elements not only of greatness, but of prosperity and even security to lile. liberty and property. Notwithstanding all this, it is, 1 fear, an undoubted truth that a few wretches among us, false to ail our free and loyal traditions—false to the memory Of their fathers and *0 the rights of their children—false to the country which has given them birth and protected them—only stopping short of the technical offence of treason—in the very madness of mischief, are actively plotting to betray ns—to poison and mis lead the minds of our people bv treacherous mis representations, and to so aid and comfort the rebels that our fate may be either to abandon the free north and becomeTiangers on of a government founded in treachery, fraud and insane ambition; or at least, to dissolve the Union under which we have prospered, and to break this fair and glorious country into fragments which will be cursed by per petual discords at home, and by the contempt and ill usage of foreign nations, from which we shall then be too weak to vindicate ourselves. That such offences should be duly punished, no good citizen can doubt—and that proper legislation by Congress is required for that purpose can be as little doubted. Whether such legislation should include a suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in any, and what part of the country, is a question which exclusively to the legislative au thorties of the United States, who under the Con stitidn have the right to determine it. That great writ ought not to be suspended, to the wisdom of Congress, the present necessity shall appear to be urgent. I therefore recommend the passage of a joint resolution earnestly requesting that Congress shall forthwith pass laws defining and punishing of fences of the class above referred to, and provid ing for the fair and speedy trial by an impartial jury of persons charged with such offences, in the loyal and undisturbed States, so that the guilty may jurdy suffer and the innocent be relieved. The message was referred to the Committee on Federal Belations, and five thousand copies in English and two thousand in German were or dered to be printed for the use of the House.

C. Poole, on 6il creek, Ve nango county, burning it to the ground in a few roinntes, and in it the bodies of ms wife and only daughter; also the wife of Mr. Gengales. All possible exertions were made to save the house and rescue the bodies, but in vain. It tvas nearly an boor before the bodies were recovered. They were then }a black and shapeless mass, and could only be identified by fragments of their clothing that lay beneath their bodies. A New Ccrrehcv.—ln view of the flimsy character of the postal currency, a proposition has been, made to coin the fractional parts of a dollar of zinc as a substitute therefor. It is suggested that .the mints might thus be afforded employment, and a more acceptable .currency than that now in Use be readily furnished. We have already published some details of the insurrection in Poland. The Russian accounts report that the rebels have been crushed, but Rus sian official bulletins are not the most reliable in the world. The Warsaw correspondent of the Berlin National Zeittmg, writing on the 25thnlt., ears: “ I can only confirm my aaeonnt of yester day, that th«v country i* in complete revolt.. Ac coiding to the arrangements of the revolutionary party, the outbreak was not to take place until the Ist of May, but the government themselves have hastened the catastrophe by the unhappy recruit ing movement. From all parts of the country come bad reports, one following the other. In Kiele and in Siedlic Provisionary Governments are ■established. Fighting has taken place at many points with varied results. All the telegraphic lines are broken, and on the Warsaw and St. Pe tersburg and the Viena Railways, the rails are tom up and carried off. On the Warsaw and St. Petersburg line the insurgents have burnt a bridge. All the lines have become insecure, and it will cost the Government much trouble to become roas ters of the movement. The insurgents seem to be about to carry on a guerilla warfare. So far the rebels, but more important is it for the extension of the revolt that all the landholders have de clared to their peasants that they desire ' no rent from them, and that all the ground they hold U given to them in the future. The country people now begin to waver, and at many places they al ready make common cause with the rebels. Al together it is estimated that 500,000 rebels ore in the country.

The army came to the premises of an active, wealthy, influential, bitter old rebel—one who had made himself very busy in procuring volunteers for the rebel army, and particulatly obnoxious to his Union neighbors by assisting the rebel agents to hunt down conscripts. 1 He looked rather aston ished when our advance cavalry was followed off by his horses. The Quartermaster came next with his mules and the contents of his corncribs. When the Commissary marched by, in charge of the gentleman s extra fat cattle. “Seeesh,”in great .alarm, wanted to know if we were not going to pay for his “ goods.” ‘We are not paying money at present, to any one,’ blandly replied the Quarter master. ‘Well, but you will give me a receipt for them : Certainly, sir ; here arc your vouchers ready made out." “ Secesh read them, apparently well pleased, until he came to the inexorable words, “ to lie paid at the close of the war. upon proof of loyalty.” “ Well, if this is the case,” said be, “ they may go to the d—l,"aud turning to a couple of his darkeys, who were looking on wifh open mouths, he administered to them a few vig orous kicks, a posteriori, exclaiming, “d—n you, you go too!” Kinder Garten Schools —A new era in the education of young children 'has of late begun in this city, says the New York Post, by the opening of an order of schools that unite recreation with study in a most interesting and effective way.— The aim is to appeal to the child’s senses, to im press and quicken the mind: and a variety, of blocks, pictures, songs, marches and plays serve to make the school a garden of exercise, instruction and amusement.. In one of these schools—that of Monsieur and Madame Charles Mcil, corner of Twenty-sixth street,and Broadway—the instruction is given in French as well as in English, and most interesting and effective lessons are thus given.— We attended a class exercise there lately, and were greatly pleased and enlightened by the reci tations and exercises. The chanting of the multi plication table in French to the sound of the piano Vas an' odd and charming departure from the ancient method of flogging that important docu ment into the hide and memory of long suffering urchins. A. G. CUKTIN. Another Great Prize Fight.— lt is stated that the preliminaries of a second “ international prize fight” have been arranged in England, be tween the representative champion of Amerida, John C . Heenan, and another antagonist, who at present rejoices in the now fitshionable cognomen bf the “ Unknown,” for the sum of $5,000 a side.— It has been generally supposed that Heenan was the American incognito who bad accepted the challenge to fight Jem Mace, the present champ ion, for $l,OOO and the champion’s belt, the prize for which the former had 'once contended and fairly won, on the field of Farnborough against the great wonder of the English ring, Tom Sayers. This, however, proves to be incorrect. O' On Saturday the rebel prisoners at Camp Donglas, Chicago, were searched, and a large number of pistols, hatchets and handsaws were found concealed about their persons and sleeping quarters. About $12,000 in money—from sixto eight hundred of which were in gold, and the re mainder in greenbacks and confederate notes was also taken from them, receipts being given them. More than one thousand copies of the Re cession Chicago Times were found in their pos- Session. Beecher and the City Railroads. —Mr. Beecher wus riding in one of the Brooklyn chrs a .short time since, doubtless thinking of the herd lot of the qpployees. He asked the con ductor \{ he did not think the running of the cars might be dispensed with on the The conductor said he thought it could if it were not for Beecher. “Beecher” he said, “drew up a big crowd to hear him every Sunday, and while there were so many dimes to bo picked up froin his congregation, there was no probability that the railroad company would relinquish so profitable a business.” - A Perplexing Pr edicamknt for old Bache lors.—The conscription Bill, which has been're ported by the Military Committee of the U. 8. Senate, provides that all bachelors-between the ages of -•thirty and forty-five, shall be enrolled In the first class which is liable to do military dntv. No old bachelor can hereafter be exempt from performing military duty, unless he avails himself of the terrible alternative of getting married. So choose ye this day whom ye will serve.
