|Ptooni iribttw. ALTOONA, PA. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 23, 1863. Chaplain to Congress. — P olitics nmy I>e all very well in its place, but it is often connected with matters with which it has no connection. In the election of Mem berBo*' Congress, to attend to the political the country, politics is in place, but when the pies elected to Congress, by political machinery, so far forget them seives as to allow their political prejudices, to control them in the matter of elating a chaplain to their body, we think they overstep proper bounds, aud certainly britig upon themselves the odium of all intelli gent and right thinking men, regardless bf party, and we can hbpe for but little of harmony ' and unanimous action on any question upon which politics can be brought to hear. The Congress now in session dis played to perfection bow far the members could carry their prejudices in this respect. For chaplain each party nominated the man most objectionable to the other, that could be : fonnd, consequently party lines were, drawn and the members had to “go it blind.” Certainly no more objectionable man, to the Democratic portion of the Hopso, than Bev. Channing (leaving out his denial of the divinity of Christ) could have been nominated by the Republicans, and no more odious man, to the Republi cans, than Bishop Hopkins (the Reverend apologist of slavery) coulddiave been select ed by the Democrats: Both advocate doctrines disbelieved by a large majority' of both parties of - the country, and the members of Congress, yet that bane of social intercourse pnd harmonious action, political prejudice, was allowed to over ride the better judgment of our and, instead of dropping both nominees for chaplain,, and taking np an humble minis ter, not looking after a fat salary, they hung to their party and now hang upon the gibbet of public odium. The Postal Money Order System.— We are glad to see that the Ppstmaster General has again urged the adoption of the system yhich has proved su£h a con venience in England, of allowing the Pos{- offioe to act .as a medium for the {Tansmis «on of money by orders purchasable at its sob-offices throughout .the country. Noth ing has contributed more to facilitate commercial transactions in the United Kingdom than this plan, and the wonder is that it has not been sooner adopted here. There is no other way in which small sums of mopey can be transmitted a« inex pensively and safely. The system in Eng-' and is not only self-supporting, but cori tribntes a handsome surplus to the Post office revenues- We trust: that congress will not foil this session to give it the leg idative sanction which is necessary to en able the Department to put it in opera tion. . Stajo' Ddties on Monet Hecehts.— The .Commissioner of Kevenue believes that tbe system which levies stamp duties' on documents and instruments of evidence may be judiciously extended. He purposes] therefore, to put a tax upon receipts for payment of money. Being of the utmost; importance in all transactions, , the neces sity of making them valid evidence of pay-i inept would offer them the strongest in duceinent to’ having them duly stamped.' It .believed that, by subjecting them to ooe-half • the duty now required on checks and ; sight drafts, a considerable! revenue might be obtained without seri ously burdening any interest. In Eng land, the penny stamp on receipts is *2,200,000. A tax here of half that 1 . - 1 | amount, he thinks, would be nearly as; productive. The imposition of a tax of tbis kind will tend to make the cash sys-| temmore popular. ; On Wednesday night, says a Kich mond paper pf Dec. 11, the body of six deceased Yankee prisoners were deposited inthedeadhOuseof the hospital to await mmng of tbe undertaker with coffins. Ylftorday nipraing one of the bodies was gone, and the plank knocked from the boms shoved the way the ghost went. He had teen “ playing possum,” and was laH pntnmpng the dead only, to get up and Iron »wpy when nobody wjas looking. gff’ A Hoaae in Washington, two stories rents this sea* •M for $4,000, furnished. I ”D«n wDev; Brnrogn —The death j of this distinguished Cavalry Officer is an | nounced from Washington. His decease willcreate deep regret ttroogbout thearmy of the Potomac, by whom he was greatly esteemed as a brave and honorable officer. Gen. Buford died in Warftington on Wednesday, of typhoid fever, contracted while in camp, and was, before his severe illness, in the prime of. health |and man hood. He graduated sit Wests Point, in 1848, and bad ever since remained ,in the regular service, being a captain of dragoons at the outbreak of the war. He won his first triumphs in Virginia, in the cavalry operations under General Pope. Shortly before his death the President appointed him a Major General. Letter from Tennessee. Lookout Vallet, Tenw.,) Dec. 12th, 1863. j Messrs. Editors:—We dpn’t enjoy cold Decem- ber winds and the pleasures of snow-balling here in Tennessee, neither do we enjoy the disagreea ble rain storms, such as we -are having to-day, but we have no room to grumble, (for we have had fine weather for some time past. The order about old Regiments enlisting ilk the “Veteran Corps,’’ created no little excitement here in Our Division. The 29th Pa. Vol. Infantry have enlisted in said “Corps,” and are now on the way home. Rain ing as it was, our Div. (2d, 12th A. C.) was called out to bid this' band of veterans adieu, but only for a short time however. The several Brigades were farmed in squares not far from “ General Jno. W. Geary’s” Headquarters. After standing long enough to get wet to the hide, the heroes of many a hard fought battle formed about seventy or more paces in front of ns. Between the two columns was the fearless Jno. W. After ar ranging things to suit his he very cooly took from his crown the old bat that had sheltered it from many a rain storm, and made a few very appropriate remarks. You must remember that “Jno. W.” can speak as well as fight, when it is nescssary. He begins “Fellow soldiers, this is no ordinary occasion, as you well know. We have not met for the purpose of charging Lookout’s .rocky steep, but to bid this bur sister Regiment God’s blessing and God’s speed on their way to their respective homes in the Old Keystone State- This Regiment of braves have borne the beat and the burden of the spring, summer and fall cam paigns with us ; at that bloody battle of “Chancel lorsville” they did (-nobly. Bravely did they defend the good Old Flag, and worthy are they of praise. At that deadly and unequalled conflict of Gettys burg, they lacked not that spirit, that energy, that love of country, that only inspires the truly brave, regardless of the chances of battle, and fearless as a Napoleon they stood in defence of the green graves of their sire’s add the homes of their childhood. But this is not all. No sooner had the dust ul oh! Virginia been- cleaned from their army brogansthan the lofty Rights of “ Lookout’- were scaled by them. Not stopping here, they took an active part in the charging of Missionary Ridge, and Tarlor’s Ridge; like brothers they have stood by us through thick and thin. Who knows, I may be speaking of a Statesman, a Philosopher, a Doctor, a General, who now is serving in the ranks of this noble Regiment, and is now going home to meet the fond embrace of a kind father, an affectionate mother, a loving sister and brother. My brave boys, when you are enjoying the luxuries of civil life don’t forget the White Star LHvision. And, as yen bow aronnd the family altar, don’t forget to offer np to Almighty God a prayer for the success and .safe keeping of your brothers in the field. As I said before, don’t forget the white star division. After n few moments pause, “ Jno. W.” struck up the good old turio—“auld lang sine,” to the very appropriate words— “ Should old acquaintance be forgot,” &c It sounded first-rate until the leader of the choir (Jno. W.) broke down,. However, all meant well enough. Throe rousing cheers were then given for the veteran regiment, after which it changed ** posish" a little, and the Division marched past them; our Brigade (Ist) Band playing the air, u White and Bine,” with {great accuracy and satisfaction. Then came die music. All the Drn m Corps of the Brigade began playing; one, one beat, one another, no Wo played alike; but all got beat in the end, for this- beating turned out to be a harmonious discoid. Thus ended the per formance, and the brave 29th is on its wav home, the boys feeling good yon may bet. . All’s quiet down here. Occasionally some Rebs find their way into our lines, as they are still de serting the rebel ranks.* Yours truly, Sufferings of the People of Georgia. A letter from Chatanooga, 11th Inst., to the St. Louis Republican, says / “ Gen, Joe Johnston has already assumed command of the rebel army, and there are indications that, if our forces are unable to move for two months, and they will not be, he will concentrate everything available in the cotton States and. try to make a stand at or near Dalton. It is believed that by abandoning all other points he can raise from forty to fifty thousand men. Hut they will be far less formidable than when engaged on Missionary Bidge; and os low as Bragg stands as a General, he certainly is the superior of General Joe Johnston. “ Guerrillas will doubtless In the meantime be active, but they will fail to divide our forces.— When General Grant gets transportation he will move; down upon the Dalton rebels like an irresis tible avalanche. - If the rebellion in Virginia were as near crushed as at this point, spring would witness the disbanding of out army. Evidence of the suffering of the people of the South is in creasing. Every commissary is crowded with ap plications for relief, and letters from the South found in deserted rebel camps evince that othe famine is universal. The army is the only hope of the rebel leaders; therefore it will be fed as long as provisions can be obtained, and as plenti fully as stores on hand will admit; and this must be done though the people starve. “Major Northup, of the Twenty-third Kentucky, has in bis possession a letter, found on the bodv of a rebel lieutenant killed on the 23d at the sud den charge on Orchard Knob. He had evidently Just received it at the time the alarm was given, and had not yet had'time to break the seal. It i was from his wife, and conveyed a story which to 1 a sensitive husband, most have led almost to sm side. She detailed thp sufferings; around her, and ■ how she bad been reduced to the last extremity, adding that for herself she would have starved, but she could riot see her children die, and therefore she bad fallen, imfbrming him of the' name of the party; and then she appealed to him to forgive ; her, for God’s sake if possible ; bnt if not to take 1 care of the children, and let her go to ruin. lam 1 convinced that this is but a true statement of the sufferings throughout the! South. The letter re ared to is from Misslpjri, but I suppress its local ity and the names.” . The Change* in the Afar noodtt ago complaints wm bv i that the )a* “for enrolling foe na . tionfil forees' wM too liberal to hejnat. The foot , that any one fiould procure an exemption from ser j vioeiy foepgymeot of force hundred doUun m I fondly denounced as an unfair advantage, ex . tended to foe rich, and a burdensome diserimlaa tien<ageinM the poor. Now there, u a , of repeaHhg this provision, the objections are made | by certain newspapers, which formerly denounced foe $3OO exemption, that the Government in ■ tends to fiske from foe |tuor man the only means i that he had to protect himself against compulsory service. We do not suppose that the discontent manifested against the Jaw has anything 10 do : with the determination which has been manifested at Washington to make the militia law nfore stringent, but certain it is tliat the draft thus far has only produced fifty thousand men, and an amount of money which, at the rate fixed in the original act, would be sufficient to furnish ade quate bounty for thirty-four thousand more. The exemptions having been very numerous, and the total yield of foe draft experiment, in comparison to what was expected from it, is trifling. The bill of amendment proposed by Senator Wilson will make considerable difference in the status of persons under another draft. In the first place, the privilege of paving $3OO for an exemption is to be abolished. 'The party drawn, unless he can establish his exemption under some of the provisions yet available to him, must either shoulder his musket, or obtain a substitute. The Government will noi undertake to procure a soldier, to act in his place. The “rights of the poor” will, therefore, no longer be invaded, and there will be no excuse for another riot in New York. Every poor man will have the same chance as the rich man in hunting np a substitute, and, if the wealthy man outbids him, the Government will not be to blame. There is to be no first and second classes as .heretofore. The married man of forty, or forty four years of age, who may have a wife and a dozen of children to support, will be compelled to shoulder his musket along side of bis fellow con script, the unmarried youth of twenty. Under the present law the only son of a widow depen dent upon his labor for support may be exempted. By the proposed amendment she must be wholly dependent.; The only son of parents dependent upon bis labor is now exempted. His liberation hereafter will depend upon the fact that the parents are wholly dependent upon him. Where there are several sons in a family, whose parents are wholly dependent upon them, and all are drafted, one may be excepted or released on the application of the parent. Persons who claim that their orphan brothers and sisters are dependent upon them, must also show that they are wholly dependent. The exemption heretofore allowed to the fathers of motherless children under twelve vears of age is to be withdrawn. The fact that two or more sons of a family are already in service will not ex-, empt their brothers. But where there have been two brothers in service who have died in the army, or have been permanently disabled while upon duty, the remaining brothers of the family are to be exempted. Persons who have been convicted of felony are still to enjoy the stigma of being too vile to be soldiers of the United States. The priv ilege of a father or mother to choose which one of two sons liable to draft shall be exempted, is to exist no longer. These changes will produce some excitement and discussion. The amendment likely to meet with most opposition is that abolishing the classes. It seems hard and unequal, that whilst a man who has a large number of helpless children may bo forced into the ranks, another whose filial obliga tions to his infirm father or motherare no stronger than the parental duties of the other, may go free. —Philadelphia Inquirer. The Three Hundred Dollar Exemp tion Clause. We are told that the present Congress is likely, within a few days, to repeal this provision in the Act of Congress, fixing $3OO as an equivalent for military service. If this repeal is yielded to the clambr that was raised against it, we'are convinced it will be against the better judgment of the mem bers of Congress passing it. Why should we not have an equivalent in money for military service ? Nearly every European nation has this fixture in its laws. If it is not thus, indeed, the draft be comes onerous to the poor man. The wealthy who do not desire to go will of course find a substitute at $3O0 —$I,ooo—if need be $3,000. Some money equivalent should be fixed in the law, unless that Congress will go the whole length, and utterly prohibit a substitute under any circumstances.— We do not say that $3OO is the exact equivalent. Perhaps it ought to be more. But, having com menced to act under the law, it is unjust to the names already in the wheel to either repeal the clause or increase the amount. If we must have a new enrollment, why, then, let this matter of its entire repeal come np on its merits. But, when the General Government has the names already in the box—one-fifth of which have been drawn out under the existing law—why should the other four fifths have any such radical changes made as is now contemplated ? The thing strike us as pre posterous. Those names already drawn from the wheel submitted to the law, and vet, if one-half 1 the changes now proposed become' law, the other i four-fifths will be forced to submit to an entirely I new set of regulations. ‘ ! The time has not come to adopt radical changes in this act. As soon as, and no sooner than me names In the present boxes are exhausted, and a new enrollment has to be made, can those whole sale changes be engrafted by Congress in the law. It is said that Copperheads raised a clamor against this $3OO feature. So they would if Con gress should re-enact the Lord’s Prayer, the Con stitution, or anything else. But the public en forced this law in 1863, will enforce it in 1864, or any other time until this rebellion is ended. We do not care what Copperheads say; the probabili ties are that it was right, because they assailed it. If yon wish to please them, yon would hare to re peal all law allowing the State or the Union to suppress this rebellion. OWEN H. As soon as the nation has exhausted the names collected in tius box, then let ns have a new Act of Congress, based on our experience of the work ings of the present. But while we have on hand the names furnished by the last enrollment, let us not change until all have had their chances under the same law. Equity is equity. If the first fifth had submitted to the existing law, so should the Other four-fifths, whose names are already in the box. We have no right to reject tbeActs of Congress, and thus subject the names heretofore obscure to the chances of a new deal. Nor haye we a right to subject them to any harder terms than were im posed on those first drawn. If this three hundred dollar clause is now re pealed, why then Congress may say that no sub stitute shall be allowed, and thus the remaining names be subjected to terms ten times as onerous as were imposed on those first drawn. With all its imperfections we should make no radical changes jnthe Act until all the names in the wheel have been drawn, and aU had an equal chance to serve their country—to exemption under its disability clauses, or else have paid their money equivalent —Pitttbwrg Commercial. , Strxnoe Rumor.— A rumor has been circula ting in this vicinity for a week past of rather strange nature. It will be remembered that some time last winter, the body of Mr. Peter Vande vander, who was a resident of Petersburg, this county, was found in the woods with a bullet hole in the head. Suspicion at the time rested on a certain individual who had been seen in the vicinity of the spot where the foul deed was committed* but a short time previously* This individual subse quently enlisted, and rumor has it was mortally wounded a short time since in a skirmish in Vir gxma; that previous to his death he had confessed himself the perpetrator of the above deed—having shot Mr. V. in apiistake for another man, against whom he bad a grudge. We give this for what it is worth, not being ride to vouch for in correct ness.—Huntingdon Journal.
