The Register.
Whatever opinion we may entertain of
-Mr. John Dean, although educated, as we
are informed, for the ministry, and at one
tune County Superintendent of Common
Schools, we would not like to suspect any
intelligent school boy with writing his edi
torials ; especially those aimed at Mr. Hall.
-They are characterized too plainly by his
peculiar puerility, venom and bad
finjglish, to expose any one else to the
slightest suspicion of being their author.
No one who knows the daddy can have
any donbt about the paternity of the
bantlings. They are, besides, in the line of
He new motion of the Register. When a
certain law firm was dissolved, and that
establishment purchased by the junior,
who was a part of the arrangement, and
to render the concern self-sustaining, made
an kxcibekak, the impression was very
generally made that the business of that
' paper in the future was, to be, sus
" tain the Union cause, mid foster a loyal
' sentiment, but to punish somebody for the
*•: political disaster* of bis more able and
dignified senior, and nourish the spirit of
; faction, j This surnuse is but too plainly
shown by the courseiof that paper under
its new Ownership, very conspicuously ex
• pressed in each issue'by the words “John
I) kan, Editor and Proprietor.” It is
attested by what no one can fad to per
ceive, that the business of the Register,
that for which it lives, and moves, and has
! its beings is to vilify Mr. .Hall. When our
'armies are moving on, ias we trust, to vic
tory in all directions; when the fate of
i the government is suspended upon the
: issue of the terrible conflict, when every
patriot’s heatt throbs with alternate hope
i and fear, the Editor and Proprietor of
this factipnal sheet, has editorial space in
his list issue Cor three squares about the
war, while he has that many columns of
low, ribald, and by no means well written
vituperation of Mr. Hall. One is remin
ded by the perusal of his current numbers
■ of the old tory, that Patrick Henry sketch
; ed as marring and disturbing the loyal
feeling in the time of the Revolution, by
hoarsely bawling through the camps,
<< beef! beef!! beef!! !” He accuses Mr.
i HaQ with dishonesty, bribery, selfishness,
I and duplicity; and yet has the hypocrisy
■; to declare that ‘‘towards Mr. Hall person
ally he does not entertain an unkind feel
; ing.” With like recklessness and disre
:i gard of thruth, he falsely accuses a gen :
tUmwn whom be attempts to single out,
r with writing for our paper, who has never
; written for the Tn&tmea single sentence,
j:. This is but another evidence of his pious
' rewßneajt to bear fitisefwitness against his
neighbors. Let him go on. Let them go
V on, ;the “Paymaster” of the Whig, and the
; examman of the Register; p?rnabUeJratrum !
A word or two in notice of the last
leader of the and Proprietor of
the Register:'
We begin at the sore place. He had
charged,,he says now, <*that a few days
before the election in 1862, a positive
airangement wasmade ip Altoona between
the friends of lib'. Hall and Mr. McAllis
ter, by which each was to support the
other.” ! This, m pronounced a falsehood
and. a libel- We do so again. What
proof does he give?' He asserts that
Charles iB. McCrea, is his “authority for
the statement.” Is that proof ? Why
does he pot give us the statement, at least
over the signature of Mr. McCrea ? What
have wp but Jno. Dean’s assertion that some
>. body else said so, or what is less; much less
than mere hearsay. Mr. McCrea is not
a resident of this place, nor has he been for
a considerable time. We pronounce it false
that Mr. McCrea ever made such a state-
ment, add until this unscrupulous libeller
furnishes some proof, .which we know he
cannot do, and dare not attempt, will hold
him, and W» own readers will hold him,
responsible for the falsehood. We dare
him farther even to name “the leading
copperheads,” of any ope, at the alleged
cdnfcremw, as he charges. We are willing
here to take from lam, regardless as he
seem* to be of truth, his assertion even if
he has nothing more to fumiah. We de
mand the names. Qiye ns the names at
least, or acknowledge the falsehood.
V 'lt is further Said that the false assertion
We have noticed, “is corroborated by the
returns of the election, a sample of which
we, (he says,} have heretofore given.”—
He gave us the returns of Huston totvnr
ship in 1862. We referred him to 'the
vote between the same men, for .the
same office, in 1860. We requested him
particularly to explain bow it happened
that Mr. McAllister’s majority was larger
when Mr. Hall was not a candidate and,
also, to tell us whether Huntingdon coun
ty is in this Senatorial district. Mum !!
and our word for it, he will be mum next
week.
His first charge was that Mr. Hall got |
somebody appointed enrolling officer, in
order to have himself overlooked in the
draft, to avoid the necessity of doing what
he did, pay $3OO, to avoid exposure to
rebel bullets. Will he entertain us with
another essay upon that subject* Per
haps he will tell us how it feels to be
drafted? Or what anxious balancing it
cost him to decide between remaining at
home assessor, or shouldering a musket and
marching to the field? Or whether it
would be easier to display the courage of
| a tanner’s dog, or a Union Soldier.
His last charge, after abandoning or be
ing driven from every other, is, that Mr.
Hall, while Senator, received money other
than his salary for services in and about
the passage of bill No. 428, approved and
signed May Ist, 1861, $320: and also,
for services in and about the passage of
another bill, passed and approved the same
session, No. 161, He made these
charges by insinuation, without naming
parties, statihg facts, or anything more
than a bare reference to the bills. We
pronounced this a deliberate falsehood and
called for the proof. He repeals his as
sertion with a little more particularity of
detail, but without furnishing any proof.
He nad admitted, and now repeats the
admission, that the feills were both eight,
and, consequently, that Mr.‘Hall did milling
wrong in voting for than. A simple state
ment of the whole facts, which Mr. Dean
had not the fairness to give, will fully vin
dicate Mr. Hall, in every view of the sub
ject. No. 161 was “An Act relative to
the claims of James Condron, of Blair
County.” The claim was for a boat load
of wheat sunk in the canal, in April, 1857;
and the Act, which is admitted to have
been proper and just, authorized the Audi
tor General and State Treasurer to exam
ine the claim. A similar Act had been
passed 13th April, 1859, referring the
claim to the Auditor General, State Treas
urer and Attorney General, who decided
against it. The Attorney General had re
ported against it in a written opinion.—
Mr. Hall appeared before the Auditor
General and State Treasurer, at the final
adjudication of the case, as the counsel of
Mr. Condron, the Attorney General, rep
resenting the other side in the argument,
and this when the Legislature was not in
session. The decision was favorable to
Mr. Condron ; and for his professional sa--
t ices, so rendered, Mr. Condron paid him.
This is the whole story. ; And this, it is
well known, was recently: held by the U
S. Senate to be strictly professional. Mi-.
Condron is a respectable gentleman and a
good business man. If we have misstated
the case he can correct us. The insinua
tion of the liegisler amounts to the charge,
against Mr. Condron, of urging an unjust
claim and bribing a member of the Legis
lature to pass it through. If we have not
misstated the case, the “ Editor and Pro
prietor of the Register” has been aiming,
by falsehood, to deceive his readers for the
purpose of injuring one who has never in
jured, or even noticed, him.
No. 428 was “an Act authoiizing an
examination of the claim of Jesse Herbert.”
The claim was for wood furnished on the
Allegheny Portage Railroad. It was refer
red by the Act to the State Treasurer and
Attorney General, before whom, months
after the Legislature had adjourned, *Mr.
Hall appeared as the counseUqf the; claim
ant. He prepared the case, examined ma
ny witnesses* took testimony in Pittsburg,
and argped the case, the Common!wealth
being represented by counsel. There was
an award for $3,500. Mr. Hall was
paid for his professional services, as any
one must say, it was perfectly:right, that
he should be. The two cases in‘almost
every feature were alike; and pur re
marks in relation to Mr. Condron’s. case,
will apply, in general, to ' this. We re
peat that the professional integrity of Mr.
Hall’s connection with these charges, is
fully sustained by the principles recogni
zed in Senator Hale’s case, by the U. S.
Senate. Mr. Dean, who is a very pro
found (if not a very conscientious) law
trr— —of large experience, and very ex
tensive practice —ought to understand this,
if he does not. If he does not, his old
Senior in whose old cause he is laboring
so faithfully and so unscrupulously, can
probably inform him.
We repeat what we said last week, that
we have been induced to notice these edi
torial. articles of the Register in defence of
a friend, who has never, so far as we
know, done any thing to provoke these
repeated and malignant assaults upon him,
or done any thing to injure his unscrupu
lous maligners and persecutors. And we
much mistake the impulses of humanity,
if this organized, malicious, andpersiHent
attempt to persecute and crush a talented
j and worthy man, who has risen before
I their envy and hatred by his manly quali-
I ties and his energy, and whose crying sin
; seems to be that,in some way, he has Jriends,
I does not react upon its authors, and serve
1 only to benefit him.
The War
Our paper would not contain one-fourth |
of the telegrams on the - war given in the j
daily papers during the past weekftaor
would we wish to inflict them upon
our readers, so contradictory and unrelia
ble are they. We have but little that is
official. All who have marked the des
patches of Glens. Grant and Meade know
that they are short and to the point and
that they never report a victory until they
have secured it. In reference to the
long looked for collision between Gens.
Meade and Lee, we have the information
that the former crossed the Kapidan on
Wednesday of last week, at three or four
different points, encountering but little
opposition. After Meade had fairly land
ed on the Sou'h bank, he started in pur
suit of the foe and found him on the road
leading from Chancellorsville to Orange
Court House. Lee attempted his old game
of massing his army and throwing it sud
denly upon one of the flanks or the centre
of the advancing army. In the battles of
Thursday and Friday hd was promptly
met at all points, and although he was
partially successful at first, in every
instance he was finally compelled to retire.
At the termination of the fight, on Friday
evening, Lee’s army had been pushed back
some three miles, and the rebel 'dead and
wounded were left in our hands. Of these
there were some 3,000 dead and 10,000
wounded. Gen. Mead's loss was nearly
equal. So vague are the reports of killed
and wounded that we can scarcely gather
anything from them. We learn, however,
that Gens. Hays, of Pittsburgh', and
Wadsworth, of New York, were killed,
Gens. Getty and Webb wounded, and
Gens. Seymour and Sc haler taken prisoners.
A late despatch says that Gen. Sedg
wick was killed in Saturday’s light. About
1800 prisoners have been taken. When
the correct account of the battles shall be
published, we will give it to our readers.
Gen. Grant is now supplying his army
with &c., preparatory to another
advance.
In accordance with Gen. Grant’s plans,
Gen. Buttler sent out a force from Fort
ress Monroe, under command of Gens.
Smith and Gilmore. This force numbering
some 50,000 men, landed at City point, on
the James Hirer, a short distance below
Fort Darling. From this point it threat
ened Fort Darling and the line of-railroad
between Richmond and Petersburg. At
the latter place Gen. Beauregard had con
centrated an equal number of men and
was charged with the protection of the
road. .By an adroit movement of colored
cavalry, a railroad bridge, at Petersburg,
was destroyed, thus preventing communi
cation between different portions of Beau
regard’s forces, after which an advance
was made upon the railroad, the rebels
whipped and the road destroyed for a
number of miles. It is reported that
the same forces have captured Fort' Dar
ing. but this lacks confirmation.
Equally grand movements are being
made by the forces in the South. Gen.
Sherman has advanced on Dalton, driving
back the rebel army under command of
Joe Johnson. The three corps, under! The details of the affair in which Dr. Fairchild,

of our Generals, our position would be

call the past, let ns hope for the future.
P. S. —Since the above was written,
despatches have been received announcing
that the army had entered upon the sixth
days fight, and that the number of killed,
wounded and missing amounts to near
thirty thousand. The loss of the enemy
is supposed to be equal to that of our army.
Grant announces that he has taken five
thousand prisoners. It is not known
whether Grant or Butler has the advan
tage in the race for Richmond A num
ber of qur field officers have been killed
and wounded. The latest despatch re
ports Lee falling back towards Richmond.
The heaviest part of thp fighting has been
done in the neighborhood of Spottsylvania.
The loss, in men, must be heavy on both
sides, but we hope the above number may
prove to have been exaggerated.
“ Our Daily Fare.”
This is to be the name of a daily news
, paper published for the Sanitary Commis
| sion during the Great Central Fair, to be
I held at Philadelphia, in June next. It will
j be issued for two weeks, from the com-
I mencement of the fair, and it is intended
| that it shall be in every respect fully equal
I to any publication, of its kind, ever issued
j in America. A committee consisting of
1 D. G. Leland, the well known writer and
translator, Henry Coppie, Prof, of Belle
Lettre at the University of* Penn’a, and
: whose visit here, in a military capacity,
| last summer, will be remembered by many
! of our citizens, George H. Boker, one of
I our most prolific poets, R. Meade Bache,
| and others, have issued a circular in which
i they say: ‘‘Assurances have been received
i from numbers of first-class writers, of their
| intention to contribute to its colnms, and
it is hoped that the applications which
have been made to celebrated literati of
; Europe will not be less successful.” “A
i complete complete history of the Fair, very
I full and spirited reports of all currant
' events connected with it, alistof the goods
j for sale in it, anecdotes, setting forth its
j character, record of the amusements and
exhibitions given in its aid, and copious
I facts, illustrative of the Sanitary move
ment, will form important, novel and highly
' practical features in the newspapers, to
which will be added events and incidents
I of the battle field and of ‘the Sanitary’
j with articles in prose and verse referring to
the war for theUuiom.’” “Also, interes
ting documents by General Washington,
’ Franklin, Jefferson, Lafayette, Willian
| Penn, and other great men of our past, nev
‘er bejore printed. The newspaper will be
j beautifully printed on the finest paper, and
I will be prepared with especial reference to
!be bound in one elegant volume.” To
those of our citizens who may go to the fair
i this paper will form a prized record, im
| portant for reference in future years.—
, Those who remain at home will find in it
I a correct history of an event which to the
people of half of three States is only se
cond in interest to the movement of our
armies in the field. The subscription price
