MCIiTOONA, PA
nmKY, MARCH 17, 1863.
Ttip to 9«|t Baltimore Conference.
Csovinosd of the troth of the adage that “ all
««ti.fpd #o play snakes Jack a doll,boy,” we, on
Friday week, dipped the jeorda which bound ns to
efflce d«ie*,and Stepping on board the Eastward
Mail Train, headed for York, Pa., where the East
Baltifaore.Confereoce of the M. E. Church was in
awdon. Oar calculations as to the time of our .
arrival at that place were knocked into “pi” by '
Ihe fopak of * fod|ht train, which took a notion to ,
“ make things rip miaceilaoepusly,” in the neigh- -
borfaoedof Birmingham station. A detention of ,
two horns at this point prevented our connecting ,
With the Baltimore Train, at Harrisburg, and,
like many others, we had to wait for the next
train, or take it Oh foot.
.Wean not sorryjoow that we ware detained.
On taking a walk npstraet we learned that Gov.
Johnson, of Tennessee, was delivering an address
in the Coart House. Of coarse we wanted to see
this nebleehantpion of-Liberty arid Union, even if
we should not bo able to hear his remarks. We
found the Coortßoom perfectly- packed, but we
succeeded by dint of poshing and crowding, in ob
taining an eligible position. Although the Governor
has a stentorian voice,.the shuffling, and confusion
about the entrance prevented onr hearing all his
remarks. Enough reached us, however, to con
vince us that be Is sound on the Union question,
down on traitors in front and rear, in favor of
prosecnting the war with vigor, and roost strenu
ously opposed to all compromises with traitors.—
His arguments on this print were unanswerable,
but onr space will not permit ns to refer to them
here. The picture be drew of the condition of the
Union men of Tennessee, the wrongs perpetrated
upon himself, his family and his friends by the
merciless plunderers of the Southern Confederacy,
iu destroying their property and driving women
and children from their homes to starve or perish
from cold in the mountains; the employment of In
dians to batcher, the defenceless, sod other bar
barities which Caused the blood to run cold in our
veins,’enlisted the sympathies of all patriots under
the sound of his voice. Bnt we .are sorry to say
there were a few persons near us, whose sympa
thies, if we may judge from their expressions, ran
in an opposite direction. They appeared to rejoice
over the .story of the i wrongs perpetrated upon the
Governor and jus compatriots. Who they were
tve know not, nor do we wish to know. The man
who. will remain .under and claim the sure protec
tion.of .the Stars.and Stripes, and enjoy the liberty
god prosperity which they guarantee, and at the
same tune give his influence and sympathies to
those who are endeavoring .to tear them down, is a
villain, a coward, a detestable thing, whose ac
quaintance would degrade, an incendiary and bring
disgrace upon a penitentiary, Bnt the meanest
'transaction connected with Governor JpbnsonV
visit to the Capitol of Pennsylvania, was the refu
sal of a portion of the Members of the House ol
Representative* to allow him,the use of their cham
ber to deliver his address. It is.nodisgroce to the
State that this courtesy was denied the loyal and
: self merifleing Governor of Tennessee* but it is an
eternal disgrace to the members .of the House,
Whomnueicesented a laigß majority of their con
stituents by voting against the proposition. What
Object conld tfaey have bad in view, other than to
show to Southern traitors that they are their
friends, and, consequently, the enemies of a man
who has stood by the Union, at all times and un
der aD eucmnslances. Bnt we need not extend
onr, remarks hereon. The heed of the reptile was
raised hifh enough above the grass to be distinctly
aean r nad we do not envy the opponent of Gov.
the position they occupy.
At an early hour on Saturday morning we lefi
the town, containing inch men as we haye referred
to above,'glad to get away from snch associations,
and retirifod York about five Many of
our readers visited this place during the three
moothe’ campaign, while the 3d Regiment was
(here encamped, and know that it is an old town,
. well-hod out, and containing many evidences of
wealth In the' shape of excellent houses, stores,
public places etc- It is a brick town, nearly all
1 thehooses being constructed of that material.—
We did notobaerve anything tbof denoted it as a
bririt bnsinras piace, other than the extensive car
wriks of Messrs. Billmyer& Small. - The principal
bnsiness appears to be in the retail line to the in
habltants of the surroanding country.
' Amine o’clock we dropped into the Methodist
Church where the Conference was in session, and
found Bishop Scott In the chair. He is a venera
ble looking man, with firmness plain!/ depicted in
his countenance, and the stranger at once recog
nises in him the controller of the assemblage.—
While be presides with dignity and ‘ firmness, and
executes business with great despatch, out Of the
chair he is pniticolariy agreeable, making those
who obtain an introduction feel at once that they-,
haye net on old friend and are perfectly at home.
A number of distinguished ministers were in
attendaaoe from other conferences, among whom
w® may note Sr. Thompson, editor of the Christum
.ideoeaUand Journal, New York, and Ur. Porter,
one of the pttbhsbers ofthesame paper, and mana
ger ofthe Book Concern. Ur. Thompson is a
uianwttlnpin years, with a countenance which
betqkemthts true character—honesty of purpose,
sotrod jwi®nnent, deep piety a hd humor to spice the
Whole. iChr. Porter is middle aged, with an ex
qndhylypfosaat countenance, a fine lecturer,Vanc
, s T* o !*®?, and jnst the man to have
]fe)pk' Congerii..' The East ;Balti
aqre Cpnfetcnce it is said contains more olid men
; than any other in the coup try. We observed
quite a number of silvery heads and beards which
-; qur and sympathy—
Wspoetoo aceotmtyd they have done
and tbeprivnrtfiqsthey endnradin the early part of
their minfetiy, wheothi* country was all baak-
woods, and sympathy because of their situation,
now- that they must soon retire from : the active
field, and, in many instances, become achargeupon
tire as it is known that a| Methodist
Minister's sitnation is no sinecure, and hot few
receive a salary sufficient to lay np anything for
old age, especially if they have families ,to
maintain. It is the duty and*should be the pride
of the Church to keep these old soldiers; above the
reach of want. It is encouraging to note that
more interest is now manifetsed in this particular
than heretofore.
It gave us much pleasure to meet with Revs. A.
E. Gibson, W. Downs, 8. A. Wilson and 8. Creigh
ton, formerly pastors of this station, and to leant
that they all stand high in the estimation of tl)eir
brethren, and .are accounted hy their Presiding
Elders as worthy the best charges in their districts.
In another colnmn we publish the list of appoint
ments for the present conference year* .
On Sunday we had the pleasure of hearing's
sermon delivered by Bishop Scott, and witnessing
.the ordination of Deacons. The Bishop's sermon
was such as we cannot justly describe. It should
be heard to be appreciated. In the evening we sat
under the ministry of Ur. Thompson, of New
York. His sermon was plain—beautifully so—
yet the ideas he advanced and substantiated, were
new and instructive, and claimed and received the
closest attention ot the audience, which must have
numbered 1200 persons—the largo room being
crowded to itsntmost capacity. After the sermon
came the ordination of Elders. This ceremony
was solemnly and impressively performed by the
Bishop, assisted by five Presiding Elders. -On
Monday morning the Annual Missionary Sermon
was preached before the conference, by Rev. A? E.
Gibson. It was one of the most beautifully poetic
productions on that theme to which we everyis
tened. Rev. Gibson is a finished orator, andjhis
sermon was a master composition, in every respect.
He seemed to sway the audience at pleasure, iike
the breezes passing o’er a field of ripened grain;
now moving like the gentle zephyr, he holds ali in
deepest silence; then rushing like the mighty tem
pest, he moved the most reserved to audible ex
pressions of approbation. 1
On Monday the question “ where shall the next
conference be held?’’ came up. Danville and.Al
toona were nominated. By some means, the: ad
vocates of Danville gained the floor first and were
warm in their invitations arid pictured the merits
of the place in a very favorable style. We believe
it was best that they did have their say first, Al
toona thereby obtaining the wind up. The friends
of Altoona, or those who spoke in its* favor, viz :
Revs. Spottswood, Chenowith and Guyer, and
Drs. Reilly arid Sargent, did our town (nil justice.
Danville having been first nominated, the Vote
(by rising and counting) was taken in favor of
that place first. When the Danvillians rose up
they made a good show and we felt like selling out
Altoona stock below par. The clerk announced
74 in favor of Danville. The Altoonians Were
then called to “their feet. So slight was the differ
ence in number that we coidd not discern it, and
we thought it about “ neck and neck " The
count over, the clerk sung out 81—7 majority in
favor of Altoona—and we shortly bolted for the
door, settled our bill, took the-next train for Har
risburg, and are now at borne, feeling particularly
good over what we seen and heard and the result
of our mission.
P. S. We advise our readers in this section
to raise a good crop of chickens this season r
fiaFOld “ Bother'em’’says we call on “Mr.
Hall and other creditors for tickets” to defraud
him out of tiie amount due him. Not true,
Johnny. If yon printed tickets for them wq told
them to pay yon. Bnt told them not to pay
you for tickets furnished by the Register. You
knovf you tried to collect money from men for
whom you did not print a single ticket, hy telling
them yon had on arrangement with us to that effect,.
hot they knew yon to be snch a notorious falsifier,
that they considered it best to consult us oh the
subject. You need not get your “back up” at us,
and call us ‘•tfuerillns”and “rats” simply because we
exposed your meanness, and because our word was
considered better than yours. If you have any
conscience left, we know you feel bad, as all men
do who attempt to defraud their neighbors. ' Act
the man hereafter, and you will not get into such
unpleasant positions.
Whig endeavors to create the impres
sion that we asked for the County Account ■ and
ratted to get it. The reverse of this is the truth,
as all who know the old rat of the Whig will at
once imagine, We did not ask for the account.
We agreed to accept it only on the terms accepted
by the other county papers. The Whig agreed to
the proposition of the Commissioners ere we did.
We did not agree to publish the Account for;s2o,
or any other stipulated sum. We agreed to;pub
lish it at the'price agreed upon by the Hollidays
bnrg publishers. We asked nothing more, nor
would we take leas. If this be ratting, old “ Botb
er’em” was the first “grey-b.ick." ,
fif Expected—a grunt from “ Bothcr’ero” next
month. It takes several weeks trod sundry quires
of paper get his ideas into shape.

What Pennsylvania did, and What
the Nation can do.
Not a great many year* have elapsed since the
Stale of Pennaylvni* found itself unable to pay
interest on its bonded debt. An overwhelming
financial revulsion had overtaken ihe country,
business was prostrate,, credit was dead, and for
the moment it was impossible to sustain the pledged
faith of this great commonwealth. Wc had ex
pected that the public works of transportation, for
which this indebtedness bad been incurred, would
have been in some measure remunerative, and
aided in the payment of interest. This hope was
disappointed. Farther loons, in such crisis, were
out of the question There had been no system
of State taxation, and available means from any
source were therefore unattainable, and remedy
there was none against temporary discredit. In
terest was left nnimid, and the bonds sold down to
one-third of their face. Sydney Smith was unrea
sonable and abusive, forgetting that his large rate
of interest from this investment, ns compared with
European standards, should measurably have re
conciled him to some delator loss.
But Pennsylvania was able to pay her debts..—
She had abundant resources awaiting development.
Agricultural and mineral wealth was rapidly ac
cutqulating, and) manufactures also were steadily
advancing. Ail that we needed was a little time
to organize an adequate revenue from these relia
ble sources, and patience on the part of the waiting
bondholders. The people of Pennsylvania were
honest as well as thrifty, and called loudly on their
representatives to impose the necessary taxes.—
This being done, the. State finances were soon re
stored to order, back interest was funded, and
thereafter there was no defalcation. Pennsylvania
credit was thoroughly re-established, the five per
cents went up towards par, and have recently
overpressed that point, even while this civil war fs
yet raging.
Dui inti the deepest depression which marked
this period of moneyed disaster, thousands of
men had serious doubts and most gloomy forebod
ings at to the final issne. Solemn were the tones,
elongated were the visages of the Croaker family.
They dismally demonstrated that from so deep im
abyss there could be no recuperation, and that our
character before the world was smirched beyond
lustration. They sold their stocks at a sacrifice,
and lived to repent their false estimate of onr ca
pacity andrimegrity.
With far less reason than in the case of Penn
sylvania, a similar class of hypochondriacal per
sons, aided by some in sympathy with our south
ern rebels, are now endeavoring to sow distrust as
to the ability and willingness of the American
people to redeem the national obligations. They
expatiate largely upon the waste and destruction of
war, and keep out of view the numerous and pow
erful means at the hand for reparation and re
newed accumulation. They speak ns if the whole
surface of Our country were ravaged bv war, in
stead of a small portion only occupied by the con
tending armies. We nil know that even theie
the damage has licen less than usual, owing to the
lenient and forbearing course of our military com
manders. Tow ns, villages and plantations, that in
European usage would have been swept From ex
istance for aggravated cruelties to Union people,
have been • mercifully spared this extremes!
penalty, and sutler chiefly from that stagnation
of business which now presses so heavily on south
ern interests.
The wide extent of the free Slates is intact and
unscathed
Vainly have the rebels endeavored to
bring hither their rapacious hordes. Only in a |
single instance did they inflict trivial damage hy |
binning the railroad depot at Cahamhersburg. and 1
then retiring ,from flie scene with remarkable !
celerity. Notheru industry is still active and ae- |
cumulative, notwithstanding that some of its j
products have liecn devoted to warlike purposes. |
Agriculture feels somewhat the loss of laborers
transformed to soldiers, and yet, aided hy the
machinery now faciliating so greatly the operations
of the husbandman, still raises a large exportable i
surplus, after supplying abundantly every domestic !
requirement. The British privateers under the ;
confederate flag embarrass our foreign trade to j
some extent, but this is only a initial evil, proba
bly does ns much injury to British commerce as to j
ours, since to the precise extent of the outside |
peril or interruption do we leam our lessened de
|ieiulcnce on the foreigner, who hates us because we
aim at freedom.
The war lias susjiended specie payments as was
the ease in England when she warred against
the French revolutionists and Napoleon Bonajwrte.
Such was onr ex|»crience, also in that little war
with Britain winch was settled at Ghent. Eng
land struggled for twenty-three years in that con-,
test with France, recovered from its effects, re
sumed metallic payments, and went on prosper
ously. So did the United States, after her second
trial at arms, paying the principal as well os the
interest of the indebtedness created. We shall do
so again, under any suppusable circumstances, apd
possess beside* a national currency of inestimable
value, and a development of onr internal resources
defying all attempts of foreign monopolists to ex
tinguish it. Such material advantages, united
with industry, intelligence, and patriotic virtne.
roust necessarily exalt this nation to a point of
unwonted prosperity and greatness. Domestic
circumstances may indeed impede this natural re
sult, but twenty millions of an indomitable race of
freemen will surely find means for its consnmation,
despite the fears of timid men or the machinations
of desperate traitors.
| Proclamation Bespecting Soldiers
Absent Witnont Leave.
1 Executive Mansion, March 10, 1863.
j In pursuance of the 20th section of tne act of
I Congress, entitled ‘an act for enrolling and calling
i out the national forces and for other purposes,’ ap
-1 proved on the 3d of March, 1863, I, Abraham
I Lincoln, President, and Commander in-Chicf of
: the Army and Navy of the United Stares, do
j hereby order and command that all the soldiers,
enlisted or drafted into tlte setvices of the United
I States, now absent from their regiments without
: leave, shall forthwith return to their respective
| regiments.
i And I do hereby declare and proclnihi that
jail soldiers now absent'from their respective regt
; ments without leave, who shall on or before: the
' Ist day of April, 1863, report themselves at auv
i rendezvous designated by the General Orders 9V
I the War Department ‘No. fife, hereto annexed,
1 may be restored to their respective regiments
i without punishment, except the forfeiture of pay
i and allowance during their absence, and all who
I do not return within the time specified shall be nr
| rested as deserters and punished as the law provides.
And whereas evil disposed and disloyal persons,
i“t sundry places, have enticed and procured
j soldiers to desert and absent themselves from their
| regiments, thereby weakening the strength of the
j a. mies and prolonging the war, giving aid and
: comfort to the enemy, and cruelly' exposing the
j gallant and faithful soldiers remaining in the
j ranks to increased hardships and dangers, I do.
: therefore, call upon all patriotic and faithful citi
zens, to oppose and resist the aforementioned
dangerous apd treasonable Crimes, and to aid in
, restoring to-’ their regiments all soldiers absent
I without leave, and to assist in the execution
: fb® act ot Congress for enrolling and calling
out the National forces and for other purposes,
; and to suppoit the proper authorities in the prose
cution ami punishment of offenders against the
said act, and in suppressing the insurrection and
Hebei lion.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set mv
hand. Done at the city of Washington, on the
10th day of March, in the year of our Lord one
