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.

the Louisville Journal) Jeff. Davis' speech at Hicn
mond. If Jeff, and the devil were to swap places,

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.

Three Wombs Bckskd to Death.—A short
time .ago a fire broke out suddenly, at night, in
the house of Mr. H. 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.

Two Sambos Summarily Dismissed. —An
amusing incident occurred to-day, writes a corres
pondent describing the late trip to Lebanon, Tenn.
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

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. TJo the

I fills INCOME OF- Tax.— Some misapprehension
L ing arisen in relation to the time and -manner
l aving the income tax levied by the act of Con-,
L> approved July 1, 1862, it may not be out of
Le to give the exact provisions of the law. No i
ft upon incomes can be levied or collected until j
p first day of May, 1863. On the first day of
by next the assessors shall levy a tax of three
p vent, upon all incomes which shall have ex
pled the snm of six hundred dollars doting the
Lr ending December s, 1862.- If the income
p the year 1862 exceeded the sum of ten thon
liid dollars, the tax shall be five per cent, upon
I above six hundred dollars. The tax of
tree or. five per cent. is_ due and payable on or bc-
Ere the 30th day of Juno, 1863. If remaining un
lid for thirty days after if one 30th, a penalty wilfbe
(posed. A person, therefore, whose income in
I*l2 was one thousand dollars, will be assessed at
|r n c jut cent, on four hundred dollars of that
L the first day of May next, and will have at
p-t sixty days in which to pay his tax; that is
I <ay, a man who received last year a salary of
fv thousand dollars must pay an income tax of
Stive dollars on or before the 30th day of June
pxt, with the privilege of delay for an additional
lirty days. The income tax is to cease absolutely

Speculation in Woolen and Cotton Goods.
j-Cotton and woolen goods arc selling quickly
Wat large profits. Everything that has a sub
kntial value in its relation to the common wants
I hfe is going up in price, and every body that
Ns ii merchandise is making money. Gold is
ping, and everything that has a value in gold is'
ping with it. The poor man’s comforts, coffee,
sugar, a little tobacco, and such things are
filing to be the rich man’s luxuries, and with
ftton at a dollar a pound, it looks as if a cotton
fin might become an old wife’s myth. Wool is
livaper than cotton, but it is on the advance, (md
f ll doubled- in valne within a year.. There is,
F'wcver, a better prospect for a supply of wool
pi'-n of cotton, and men of slender means and
pil'd incomes may find some comfort in the re
l't:l‘on that “an old cloak makes n new jerkin.
