ALTOONA, PA
W EDNEBDAI, MARCH 2. 1864.
The War.
The {movements of Gens. Thomas and
Sherman, in the Southwest, have created
quite aicommotion in Rebeldom. Sherman
is moving directly East, across the coun
try, with an army of some 35,000 men,
accompanied by light baggage trains and
light artillery. His destination is un-
to the public hereabouts and also
to the Rebels. They are afraid he will
suddenly make a demonstration on Mobile,
and then again he may push straightfor
ward through the country. He cares not
for his; communications with the rear, as
he destroys everything behind him to pre
vent pursuit. It is a bold and desperate
move, and the Rebels so regard it The
facility with which he moves and the un
- certainty in reference to his destination
prevent the Rebels from concentrating an*
army to check him.
‘ Tifo forward movement of Gen. Thomas’
army hits also given them trouble and
prevented the sending of forces from Dal
ton to operate against Sherman.
The expedition to Florida, under Gen.
Seymour, met with a severe reverse. Gen.
Seympur met the enemy, some 15,000
strong, Jaeyoncl Sanderson, on the Jack
sonville and Tallehassce Krilroad, and
fought them three hours, and at sunset.
our forces, overpowered by numbers, retired
to Sanderson; -Our loss was between 500
and 1201* men and five guns.

of this new periodical. It opens with a
beautiful steel engraving called “ The Pet

Fashion Plate—such as the public are not
accustomed to expect in a two-dollar mag

the“ Chattanooga Grand March.” Among

Horrible Tragedy.
We fin#in our Pittsburgh exchanges
full details of one of the most horrible
domestic tragedies which it has ever been
our province to record.; The affair occur
red! a few days ago in Lawrence county,
in this State, and the particulars are a«
follows:
“Id the early part of the present month a sol
dier belonging to the 100th regiment, having re- ,
enlisten for the war, obtained a thirty days’ fur- :
lough and returned to his home in Lawrence ;
confity, about four miles from Darlington, and
almost adjoining the Bearer county line. The
man was married, and during his absence his wife j
contracted an acquaintance with a scamp in the
neighborhood, which culminated in a criminal ;
intimacy between the parties. Qf all this, how- j
ever, the husband was in complete ignorance, and ]
upon his return home he took up his abode with 1
fats'Wife, unconscious df her infidelity or of the I
plot which was even (hen maturing against his
life. It appears that soon after his arrival it was
agreed between the woman and her paramour that
he should be put out of the way. and one night,
while the unsuspecting man lay asleep in his bed,
the guilty pair approached him, and slipping a
noose, which they hod previously prepared, over
his head, they threw the other end over a beam
which extended across the dwelling, and pulling
on it with all their might, they swung the wretch
ed man off the bed, and in a moment almost had
him in such a position that resistance on his part
became impossibly. They had their victim now
completely in their power; and the deliberation
which marked their after movements shows a de
gree of cold-bloodedness unequalled almost in
the annals of crime. Finding that death did not
take place as soon as they had expected, they fast -
ened the rope, which up to this time they hod held
. over tlie beam, the body of their .victim writhing
in jltfs death agony from the other end, to a peg in
the wall, and leaving the miserable man to his
fate passed out of the house. After remaining
outside long enough for strangulation to take
place, they again entered _tlie house, and taking
down the now lifeless remains of the murdered
man carried them to a coal hank in the vicinity,
! inside which they concealed them. The next day
it was noticed that the woman's paramour was
rather Hush of funds, and this, coupled with the
fact that tlie soldier wars missing, induced those
who knew the guilty relations existing between
the woman and tlie man to suspect that ail was
nqt right; so an inquiry was instituted through
which the entire tragedy was brought to light.—
The woman, struck with fear or remorse, made a
confession of the whole affair, implicating Iter par
amour as tlie principal in the murder, anti both he
and she were arrested and committed to jail at
New Castle to await their trial for murder. The
gentleman from whom we obtain our report of
| the tragedy could not give us die names of tlie
; parties, but he vouches for tlie correctness of the
] facts as we have given them, ft is the most hor
! j rible affair, and naturally created great excitement
j in the community whera it transpired.’’
Iron Clad Navy Yard
Hon. John M. Broomall, of this State,
has introduced the following bill in Con-
gress
Sec. 1. lie it enacted liv the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United Slates in Con
gress assembled, thatv. the Secretary of the Xavv
I**, and lie is hereby authorized to construct a Xavv
Yard and Naval Depot on the Delaware River, in
the State of Pennsylvania, at ?uch place as shall
be the most advantageous to the Government and
the public service, taking into Recount the advan
tages of location and economy of construction.
Stc. 2. Be it further enacted, that the location
of said Xavy Yard and Naval l-)epot shall be fixed
'within the said limits by a commission to be ap
pointed by the Secretary of the, Xavv. and to con
sist of seven scientific and practical men, none of
whom] shall reside or owti lauds within fifty miles
of the Delaware River or Bay, and a report of a
majority of the commission when approved by the
Secretary of the Navy, and the' President of the
United States shall be final.
Sec. 3. Be it farther enacted, that the sum of
(hree,hundred thousand dollars be and the same
ts hereby appropriated for the purposes of this act,
<mt of any moneys in the Treason - not otherwise
appropriated.
We hope that this bill will .receive the
favorable consideration qf both houses,
and that the Yard may located accord
ingly. It should be an object to construct
it at a point contiguous to coal and iron,
in order to save expense in shipment of
of these necessary articles: Pennsylvania
will undoubtedly supply them, and the
Delaware will therefore be the most con
venient and easy of access. The people of
ithis State should urge the; matter.
Prxnteu’s Talk;. —Every profession has
its technical terms, and of course, the
printers have a “ smattering ” which is
only intelligible to the craft. The follow
‘ing is a specimen. It don’t mean, however,
as much as it would seem to intimate:
Jim, put General Beauregard on the
galley, and then finish ihe murder of that
: negro you commenced yesterday. Set up
the ruins of Guyandotte; distribute the
I small-pox ; you need not finish that muti
ny ; put the mumps in the paper this week.
Pitch the pi into hell, and then go to the
devil, and he will tell you how to dispose
of the dead matter. i

Proclamation by the Governor.
Whebkas, For some time past it has
been known that persons, professing to
be agents of other States, have been hualy |
tampering with our citizens at homeland j
in the army, endeavoring, by false repre- ‘
sentations, to induce individuals io enter |
or re-enter, the service as from those {
States, and remonstrances have been in |
vain made against the continuance of this .
paltry sistem of seduction : ;
And whereas , 'lnformation has now ;
been received that one of the regiments of.
Pennsylvania has enlisted almost bodily |
as from another State; and it appears to {
be necessary to take some public means to !
put our citizens on their guard against the 1
arts by which results so disastrous to the I
men and their families may be effected in
others of her regiments which Pennsylva- )
nia has delighted to honor:
Now, therefore, I, Andrew G■ Curtin,
Gouerner of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, do issue this, my proclamation,
addressed to all citizens of the common
wealth, but especially and emphatically to ;
her veterans in the army, cautioning them j
against allowing themselves to be seduced |
from her service. By enlisting in regi- j
ments of other States, they deprive their
families at home of that generous and lib
eral aid which our law has provided for
them as a right, and not a charity; they
will not enjoy the right of suffrage- which
an approaching amendment of the Con
stitution wfll give to our absent volun
teers ; they cut themselves loose from the
lies which bind them to their homes, and
which bind Pennsylvania to give them
constant care and assistance in the field,
an obligation which our State has never
neglected. If wounded or sick, they will
no longer be fostered by our agents, and
received with applause and consideration,
as men who have done honor to Pennsyl
vania : they bring the history of their
regiments to an abrupt close ; their names
will no longer be entered on our rolls ; all
the glorious recollections of their valor
and sufferings will be sickened by the fact
that they have abandoned their native
State ; deserted the great Commonwealth
under whose banner they have earned for
themselves and for her the highest repu
tation for courage and all the martial vir
tues, and that they' have done this under
inducements which are in fact unfounded,
and at the very time when their friends
and neighbors at home were preparing for
them bounties probably larger than those
offered by other States, and certainly
much larger, if the support afforded to
their families be taken into account.
I therefore appeal to our noble volun
teers not to abandon the Commonwealth.
She has been proud of the glory which
their course hitherto has shed abundantly
on her. As a mother she has a right to
the honors to be won in future by her
children. Stand by her, and she will
stand by you, and you will have the rich
est reward in the grateful affections and
sympathies of your families, your friends,
your neighbors and your fellow-citizens.
But if you leave her for the service of
other States, you throw away all these,
for their people will regard you merely as
mercenaries, and when they have fulfilled
their bargains, will leave you and your
families to shift for yourselves. Recollect
your homes and your families and your
friends and the banners which the Com
monwealth first bestowed upon you. w'hich
you have carried so gloriously upon many
a bloody field, and which, defaced by shot
and shell, but still bearing the names of
the battles in which you have been dis
tinguished, she has provided for receiving
at the close of the war, and preserving as
holy relics of your patriotism and devotion
to the cause of our common country. —
These things- are worth more to you and’
to your childred than money. Do not
grieve and disappoint your friends by
abandoning them all.
1 take this occasion to enjoin upon all
Magistrates, District Attorneys and other
officers, a strict vigilance in enforcing the
laws of this Commonwealth against all
persons who shall within this State at
tempt to recruit volunteers for .other States,
[i.. s.] Given under my hand and the
Greal Seal of the State, at Harrisbnrg,
the twenty-fourth day of February, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-four, and of the
Commonwealth the eighty eighth.

How TesUmseh was Killed The Western
Christian Advocate of this week contains an obit
uary notice of Isaac Hamblin, Sr., who died at
his residence near Bloomfield, Ind., a few months
since, aged about SC years. Mr. Hamblin was a
man of dfcp piety and unquestionable veracity.—
He was in the battle of the Thames, find the writer
gives the following as his statement in regard to
the manner in which Tecumseh was killed :
He says he was standing but a few feet from
Colonel Johnson when he fell, and in full view,
and saw the whole of that part’ of the battle.—
He was well acquainted with Tecmnseh, having
seen him before the war, and having been a prison
er seventeen days, and received many a cursing
from him. He thinks that Tecumseh thought
Johnson was Harrison, as he often heard the chief
swear he wonld have Harrison’s scalp, amji seemed
to have a special hatred, toward him. Johnson's
horse fell under him, himself being also deeply
wounded; in the fall he lost his sword, his large
pistols were empty, and he was entangled with his
horse on the ground. Tecumseh had fired his
rifle at him, and when he saw him fall he threw
down his gun and bounded forward like a tiger,
sure of his-prey. Johnson had only a ride pistol
ready for use. He aimed at the chief over the
head of horse, and shot near the centre of his
forehead. When the ball struck, it seethed to him
that the Indian jumped with his head full fifteen
feet into the air. As soon as he struck the ground
a little Frenchman ran his bayonet into him, and
pinned him hist to the ground.
S®“Col. John E. Wynkoop, of the Twentieth
Pennsylvania Cavalry, has received authority to
raise a brigade of cavahy, to be Composed of the
Twentieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-second Penn
sylvania Regiments of that branch of the service.
The Twentieth and Twenty-first are already
full, and the Twenty-second is'rapidly filling tip.
News from Bebeldom.
Wabhisqtos, Feb. 25.
One of General Lee's orderlies, private Taylor,
riHhb Fourth Virginia Cavalry, caiho Into our
fiHryesterday, and arrived here to-day. He has
been in the Rebel army about fifteen months, and
the last three months has been on doty at General
Lee's Head-quarters as orderly to General Lee,
whose winter quarters are upon the road from
Orange Coart House to Verdiereville, about two
miles from the former place.
General Lee lives in a tent without any floor in
it, having refused to have one poti in as others
were having done. He keeps very much to him
self, never drinks or swears, and is very popular
with the army, who have implicit reliance in the
old man.
General j. B. Stuart has his bead-quarters about
two miles from Lee’s head-quarters, and on the
road to" Robinson’s River. His camp is ou tlie
ride of the mountain, in the woods. His force is
reduced by casual!ties, desertion, by loss of horses,
and by going home to recruit, until they have
scarcely enough men to do camp duty with. Jeb.
Stuart is very gay, drinks bad whisky, and gives a
great many parties, at which he entertains a great
many friends from the army and from the sur
rounding country.
Mr. Taylor is a young man,, and has relatives in
Ohio. His chances for knowing the strength and
coidition of the Rebel army were good, and his
sturv is credited at the War Department, and ho
bai been given transportation to Cincinnati. He
savs there are not now left in the vicinity of Or
ange Court House, in Lee’s entire command, over
twenty-five thousand men, if there are that many;
that the last month Lee has been giving furloughs
liberally to all who would re-enlist, to go home to
recruit that from fifteen to thirty days are given
them.
General Lee tells his officers chat the Yankees
will be filling up their armies in March and he
must be ready for them. He says be will have
sixtv thousand men by that time and can hold
double that number in check. When we made
our lost move across the Rapidan, while Batter
threatened Richmond, they were apprised of our
movement when it commenced by citizens coming
in, and when our troops crossed the river and sur
prised their pickets, General Lee was engaged in
sending men to Richmond by rail, and told Gen
eral Ewell that this move on his front was only a
feint.
They have but two corps now, under Generals
A. P. Hill and Ewell. The latter is foil, but the
former has been depleted to aid Longstreet, whose
whole corps is still absent. Their horses have suf
fered severely from the want of I forage, many
thousands have died, and hundreds of men arc
without shoes and clothing to keep them warm.—
Over two hundred men have been shot during the
winter for desertion.
They were captured tryinjjTo get over into our
lines and at home, not being, willing to return to
the army. He says two things, generally of some
account, have ceased to have any value in the
Hi-lvcl army, they are paper money and life. Pri
vate soldiers have long ceased to use money to
buy anything. Sutlers are no more, and any
thing wanted is either obtained as a gift or stolen,
generally the latter.
Many refused to take their pay when offered to
them, alleging that it is worthless, it taking nearly
three mouths' pay to buy one dollar in gold. The
soldiers families’ all over the South have long been
objects of charity, and been forced to beg or steal
to keep life in their wasted frames, and this is
tending more than anthing else, to demoralize
their army, and may retard the return of those
home on furloughs.
A Strasoe Phenomen a. —The Trumpet, pub
lished at Elizabethtown, Lancaster county, relates
the following singular phenomena :
An unnatural phenomena took place in Rapho
township, three miles cast of Mount Joy, on
Thursday last, at the residence of Martin Inly.—
His-daughter, aged eighteen years, died a quarter
before eight o’clock. After the usual ceremonies
were attended to, towards morning the attention
of the mother was drawn to the corpse, when she
discerned something unusual on the lips of the
deceased. Attempting to remove it apparently a
voice seemed to say, “Let it remaifi.” Astonish
ment caused an- examination, and the fact was,
there ap]>carcd in the middle of the lips and teeth,
a complete rose-bud ready to open find on the left
side of the rose a full bloomed rose—what florists
call a double levy rose. On close examinatiefh it
was ascertained that the bud and rose were a hard
substance to the touch, and in appearance like
ivory. It was perceptible that .from the first and
last nights of the phenomena it enlarged.—
Thoughts were entertained that the removal of
the body to the burying-ground (ivhich was in a
hearse and over a mile of rough rohd) might cause
a separation, but the bud and the rose still remain
ed as when first seen, only increased perceptibly
in size. The rose and bud were ay white as ivory,
and supposed equally as hard.
Many persons were eye-witnesses* of the fact.—
1 The rose was very natural, and those not knowing
the fact, felt satisfied that it was a real rose and
bud placed there as as ornameijt; and reports
caused many to witness the fact.
The disease of the diseased was measles : a re
lapse took place attended with a cold which caused
her death.
A Growl at the Rebel Commissariat. —The
Richmond Examiner says : The tnis-government
of the Confederate Commissariat is ao unwritten
page in the history of this war. Some day the
public will b<rastounded with tbe proofs of imbe
cility in this branch of the public service, and will
find some one else to take part of; the censufe now
so exclusively applied to the “pepper doctor ef
South Carolina.” We happen to know that more
than'a year ago a proposßd was; made to Secre
tary Seddon| by one' of the most; public spirited
and enterprising firms in the Cotl|ederacy, to im
port any quantity of bacon for the array, and to
pledge themselves to lay it down iin Charleston or
in Wilmington, at the rate of. a pound of bacon
for a pound ol cotton. Cotton was then, worth
about thirty cents a pound. The proposition was
not that of speculators-; it emanated from a num
ber of patriotic gentlemen who had agreed to un
dertake the enterprise at the instance of some
members of Congress, and on account of the gen -
cral welfare. All they got fronf Mr. Seddon was
a dry laugh and the remark that lie could do much
better. It appears that some irresistahle boaster,
such as infest the departments fiir contracts, had
swindled him into the belief thay he could furnish
from some Eutopia two pounds ipf bacon for one
of cotton, using his “brag,” no dpubt, to get some
other substantial favor from the; Government. —
The consequences was that Mr. Spddon was bam
boozled, and the public-spirited captalists who
were prepared to undertake an ohterprise of vital
importance to our army, were pt(t off for a kite
flying adventurer, who has, no doubt, long since
departed, by “Shem’s Express,” to the back slope
of the Tnilenes.
Waiting to Get Back.— The house of ex-
United States Senater Ynlee, at St. Augustine,
Florida, is now the headquarters of the Federal
commandant of that post'. A later says: ‘‘Yulee
has never held office tinder the Confederate gov
ernment, nor in die State government of Florida
since she seceded, and therefore being included in
President Lincoln’s amnesty proclamation, he is
laying his plans to be among those who assist in
bringing the State back into thd Union, sp as to
be “right side up.’” j!
Railroad Conductor Sentenced. —J. Hilf’
the railroad conductor who was fecently convicted
of embezzelment, has been scntenjced to pay l a fine
of $lOO and to undergo one year’s imprisonment
;in thepenitentiary. The prisoner is represented
to be very mubh of a gentleman by those who
know him intimately, holds a good position in
social circles, and has many watyn sympathizers;
but no matter what his pecuniary circumstances or
social standing, after an impartial trial by a jury
of honest and unprejudiced men, he has been
1 convicted of a high crime, and if Is right that he
should suffer the penalty. ;|
An . Immense Bon.ES.—An immense boiler,
intended for one of die new monitors, and weigh
ing over forty tons, has jnst been completed in
Philadelphia. l ln taking it to the ship yard, thirty
eight horses' were required to draw "it over: the'
streets. At every square a bait was made, in or
der to give the animals a breathing space, and to
allow the street in advance to be cleared. .The
wheels of the truck were abont eight inches wide
on the tire, but the weight of the boiler was so'
great that the trace of the vehicle along the street
was distinctly marked at every foot by the deep
indentions made in the pavement. Flag stones at
the crossings: were broken, and the cobble stones
poshed from, their places all along the rente.
Trouble Among the Mormons.— There to a
•serious schism in the Mormon ranks. The seces
sionist polygamists content themselves with one
wife, at least one at a time. An organization
founded on this idea has been formed in Cincin
nati, under the leadership of Joseph Smith, Jr.,
and Israel L. Rogers. They say that they have
missionaries operating in Brigham Young’s do
minions, who are very successful in making con
verts. _ Their present rendezvous is in the vidnity
of Chicago, but they have purchased thirty thou
sand acres of land in Missouri, where they intend
to settle when the war is over, and build np a city
for the habitation of the faithful.
