To tbe Honorable Commission Now, this 25th
February, 1565,-1, Patrick Curley, waive my right
to a trial on the charges and specifications pending
against me, and plead guilty/ but beg leave to pre
sent the,following statement: —
I was a member of tile Democratic party of
Clearfield county, and Governor William Bigler
and Senator William. A. Wallace were its ac
knowledged leaders.
Oh the thirteenth day of August, 1864, they
hhki a latge town meeting in the town of Clear
held, some three thousand people being present,*at
which these gentlemen made speeches, : the tenor
and effect of which was, that no more men or mon
ey should be furnished for the prosecution of the
war, I was present at that meeting, and, with
otbpps .was taught to believe that it was the pur
pose and intent of our party to with.-old its sup
' port from the Government in coming on the war.
1 was informed, by Samuel Lounsberry and oth-
ers, that a secret society was being organized for
that purpose, and was induced to attend a meeting
at Jacob Hnbier’s/Where I was sworn into the so
ciety ,by John J. Kyler. I was misled into joining
the organization and pursuing the course I did, by
the counsel of Governor Bigler and Senator Wal
lace, as given at the meeting I have mentioned.
After I was arrested, and learned all the circum
stances, I voluntarily slated to Major Gable, the
officer who first had charge of me, all the circum
stances and facta within my knowledge, giving him,
the Constitution and forms of the organization.'
I was parolpd, and while I was at home devoted
ray time to assisting the officers of the Govern
ment In'the execution of their duties. It is my
purpose and desire. tp.sustain the Government and
to discharge .my whole, duty as a loyal citizen.—
The services l have rendered are within the knowl
edge of Major Gable apd of’several loyal citizens
of Clearfield'connly, P. CUBLEY.
A "Woman with Two Husbands
The Chattanooga GazetU .relates the following:
We hnve often beard'of romantic elopements,' in
which silly young girls have‘run away with capti
vating young .men, to tbe great displeasure and
direful wrath of goutyoldpapas and indignant and
ponderous mammas. We have heard, too, of the
customery sequence of pursuit and capture of the
absconding parties when the plot was. timely dis
covered, and of repentance and forgiveness when
it was too late ahd there was no help for it; but
the case we haveibhafad differs somewhat from
any of this character.
Some ,time last fall, a soldier belonging to the
Third Wisconsin Battery, doing duty in the garri
son in this city, married a; woman firing a few
miles from town, who. had a husbpnd Jiving, he
being a rebel and a prisoner pt Camp Chase, Ohio.
The soldier went to Wisconsin during the month
of Qctbber, was mustered out of the service, and
immediately returned here and went to his wife's
to live. A few days ago die rebel husband, who
had taken the oath' of allegiance, returned to this
place, and on going towhat he believed to be his
own house, was surprised tofind aTankee in pos
session of both wife and property. He endeavored
to bust the! Yankee and enter into the possession
of his owii .once more, but was unable to effect
anything!, as bis wife took sides with her Yankee
husband,' and refused to leave him. The affair
culminated, a feW days since, in a suit before Jus
tice Allisou, brought by the rebel to recover the
value of a cow which be claimed he had left at
home when he went into the rebel army.
' The Justice tried to make her understand that
her first husband was her legal spouse, but she
didn’t care for that. To eVcir argument of his
she returned, “Yes, but I"like the Yankee the
best 1” Fitting that'it was of no avail to try and
induce his wife to return to bis bed and home, tiro
rebel husband determined tp save something from
the wreck of his fortune, and said to the Yankee;
“Wellyou may keep the woman, if you pay mo
twenty-five dofiars for the cpw.” “I’ll pay it,” was
tbe reply, and tbe bargain was concluded on the
spot. After the payment, the trio_departed from
the Justice’s office, each apparently well satisfied
with the result. Wives are deg cheap at twenty
five dollars, and everybody can afford one at that
price, but we think the first husband acted the wi
ser part in preferring the cow, as those are the
scarcer animal at present ;
XifE Wat DesbktebS" Look at Things.—A
correspondent from the Army of the Potomac
writing of 'date of February 25th, says : A squad
of deserters who pome over oh Thursday night
were fired upon furiously, but strange to tell, not
a mah was injured. After they reached a place
of safety,' some of our men inquired how it was
that, they fdl .escaped. “Oh," said the spokesman
of the party,“them fellers fired too high to hit us!’’
“Yes, yes," returned the picket officer, “but why
did they firt serhigh?" ‘‘Oh ! 'why, don’t you
know ? ” answered the rebel ; “well, it’s because
they arc coming over themselves to-morrow night!”
Another Ijot of fifty-three deserters from a South
Carolina regiment, who also came in- on Thursday
night, reported themselves as “peace commission
ers,” They said that as Messrs. Stephens, Hua
tCTahd Campbell had failed to make terms with
the Admimstradon and bring them back into the
Union, they concluded to come over themselves
and spe what they .could accomplish in that.line.
One of this number declared that they bad gone
fnlortfiawar to “put dowh the Beresay that a
negro is hs good as a white man ;’’ bnt as that
doctrine was now apparently about to be adopted
at the South, and the negijoes were to .be placed

Wilmington, N. C.
YANKEE ENTERPRISE,
One honr after our troops entered tbe town an
enterprising newsman, with a huge bundle of pa
pers under bis arm, was shouting through, the
streets of Wilmington, "Here you are, Philadel
phia Enquirer, New York Herald, Trihune,
Timet.” An-. anxious crowd of news purchasers
soon surrounded the dealer, paying him in silver.
He soon disposed of bis entire stock, not a. small
. one : his pockets were weighed down with the sil
ver coin. There seems at present no .scarcity of
gold and silver in-Wilmington.
WBAT Tilt REBELS LEFT.
Bragg succeeded in carrying away nearly all'
of his military store?, leaving behind, however, a
Whiteworth gun, on a held carriage; a brass field
piece, dismounted • six cases of smooth-bore mus
kets, twenty odd carbines, with bayonets and ac
coutrements ; a few bushels of corn and oats;
two wheezy locomotives almost past redemption ;
still Philadelphia mechanics might render them
serviceable.
The Ihllifiiitian Navy Yard which the Rebels
had established here they burned, together with a
large stock of pitch and rosin. The dense smoke
of which >ve saw on the afternoon of the 2lst.—
The bridge over the Brunswick River is also
burned.
The Cludta.mauga made her escape npthe river,
where she will probably be destroyed by the
Rebels, as her draught of water renders it imprac
kxißle for her to go to Eayettsville. ‘
There were no blockade-runners in port. The
■last of them made good their escape on the night
ot the 14th of January, the night before the fall of
Fort Fisher.
fcSCJtfUW UNION TEISONBitS
On the 21st lust., the Rebs conveyed four thou
sand of our prisoners in their hands from Flor
ence, South Carolina, to Salisbury, in this State.
Passing through Wilmington yesterday aud last
night, about two hundred of them succeeded in
effecting their escape.
Poor fallows, it was the last effort that some of
them made in this life. They looked upon the
stars of the dear old flag, and laid themdownaud
died, died from sheer starvation, patriotic victims
of the heartless and devilish cruelty of our remorse
less and barbarous enemies. It was heart-rend
ing to see these skeletons of men, their frames
wasted by famine and disease, superinduced by
famine and exposure.
A building was immediately set apart lor their
use by General Schofield. Beds were prepared
for .them, and all that the army or city had of
nourishing food or stimulating drink was placed
at their disposal. Our men in tlie-ranks swore
loud and deep when they saw the haggard fortns
of these’once brawny companions in arms. And
there are emphatic resolves never to ‘be taken
prisoners by the Rebs.
The survivors of these bravo fellows who es
caped from the hell bf a Rebel prison win he sent
North- as soon as their strength wjll permit the
voyage. t .
How He Made His Fortune. —Several years
ago a gentleman of Philadelphia was-presented
by a friend with a magnificent pair of buck’s ant
lers, which he used to display to the great admira
tion and envy of his friends, especially o^a' Jewel
ler, wlip made all sorts, of offers to purchase them,
but without success. One day he came into the
office and threw down a legal document, being a
deed of 100 acre? of land in western Pennsylvania,
which he got in trade, and which he offered for
the coveted treasure. The gentleman, seeing him
so persistent, agreed to the purchase, gave up the
antlers, and threw the deed into his desk, where
it remained imdistnrbcd, and costing only a few
shillings per year for the local taxes. The sequel ’
of the story is that a few days ago, a man called
oa the Philadelphia gentleman and inquired about
the land, and what was his price for it. The gen
tleman said that he did own a piece of land some
where in the neighborhood indicated—didn’t know
exactly where it lay, or whether it was worth $5
or $lO,OOO. The stranger seemed anxious to pur
chase, and at once offered, $lO,OOO. At this the
gentleman opened hfs eyes—said he was in no
hurry to sell, he wonld think about If. The stran
ger continued to press him for a sale—offered him
s2o,<JoO—-$30,000—550,QOO —and finally stopped
at $35,000! He wonldtnot go a cent higher, but
wasfready to draw a check for that amount.
He owner said he thought he wouldn’t sell just
yet—if it was worth that amount he would go out
and sec about it; He visited the. land and found
his hundred acres lying on Oil Creek, in the midst
of the j>est oil region, and worth a fortune. 'How
the jeweler felt when he learned these facts, has
not transpired. —Erie Dispatch.
What a WOman can Carry. —The Provost
Marshal of Beatifort, North Carolina, recently ar
rested a suspicions woman, named Eveline Pigbtt,
as she was about to leave town. On being arrest
ed,- with consummate impudence she blustered*
about the arrest of high-toned Southern ladies, as
though they could do nothing wrong. She was
very anxious to return to a fionse from whence she
started,'but, instead, was taken to the Provost
Marshal’s office, where her person was searched,
and the following stock in trade found concealed
under her clothes: one pair fine boots, two pairs
of pantSj.one shirt, one naval cap, one dozen linen
collars, one dozen linen pocket handkerchiefs, fifty
skeins sowing silk, a lot of spool cotton, needles,
tooth brushes, hair combs, two pocket knives,
dressing pins, several pairs of gloves, one razor,
four or five pounds of assorted candies ; also, sev
eral letters addressed to rebels outside of our fines,
denouncing the,. Federal*, calling them Yankees
and Buffaloes, giving information about the sup
posed movements of "Federal troops, etc. A very
large and prominent store in Beatifort was closed,
supposed to be in complicity with the aborenamed
blockade fanner.
ExTRibRDrNfKr FiNA>'OlKßiKd—The Finan
cial Committee of the rebel Congress has: agreed
upon a scheme of revenue and taxation which'de
raands at least a passing notice. Itds proposed to
raise three hundred millions by a tax in currency
equivalent to one and one-fifth per cent, in specie,
on the old assessments of general property.. In
comes and trades'are to be taxed to the tone of
one Hundred and fifty dollars. , And, in:
audition to this, the present tithe on produce i§ to
be' contirtued. The gross' totals from these im
posts are computed at fire huudred ond ninety mil
lion dollars. lint this falls altogether short still
of the demands of Davis’ Exchequer. Four hun
dred and seventy millions extra arq needed to car
ry on. the war /or another yciyr, apd this is' to be
t^ot at by: the issue of noh-taxable six per cent,
bonds, and, ffCitCtAe '»ale of GovirnnuHt cotton on

INTERESTING QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
RELATIVE to the
7-30 U. S. Loan.
Mr. Jay Cooke, of Philadelphia, who ft* so long
j it time had the management of the popular 300
i million 3-20 Loan, has just been appointed by
■ Secretary Fessenden, the General Agent to dis
! pose of the only popular Loan now'oflcred tor sale
! by the Government, viz: the ‘SEVEN-THIRTY .’
i In entering upon his duties be desires to an
i swer plainly the large number of questions daily
and hourly propounded to him, so that his fellow
countrymen may all nnderstind what ttrts
Loan” is, whap are its peculiar merits, how they
can subscribe for or obtain the notes, &c.
lit Question. —Why is this Loan called the
“Sevcn-Thirtv” Loan ?
' Answer. —-It bears Interest, in currency, at tbe
rate of Seven Dollars and thirty cents, each year,
on every hundred dollars moking the interest as
follows:
One cent per day on each $5O note
Two cents “ “ 100 “
Ten “ “ “ 500
“ 1,000 “
“ 5,000 “
Twenty “
Oue dollar •* ,
2 d Question. —When and bow can they be ob
tained ?
Answer. —They are for sale, at pur, and ae
crncd interest, by all Sub-Treasuries, National
and. other Banks, and all Banter* and Brokers.
id Que slion.— VVix^fe^be.interest payable and
how can it be collected ?
Ansircr.—The Coupons or Interest Tickets are
duo loth of February and 15|h of August in each
vc.tr, and can bo cat otf front the note, and will be
cashed by any Sub-Treasurer, U. S. Depository,
National or other Bank or Banker.
ilh Question. —When must the Government
pay off these 7-30 s ?
r A neuter. —They are due in two years and-a r
half from tho loth of February, 1865 ; viz: on the
loth of August, 1807.
s th Question. —Must I receive back my money
so soon as 1807 ? ,
—No / not Unless you prefer to do so—
the Law gives you the right to demand from the
Government, at that time, either your money or
an equal amount, at par, of the famous and popu
lar 5-20 Gold fitaring 6 per cent. Loan.
6th Question.- —How much do you consider this
privilege of conversion, into 5-20 Loan, to be
worth ?*
Answer. —s-20= bearing Gold Interest from Ist
of November, are, to day, worth 9 per cent, pre
mium. If they are worth no more at the end of
the two years aml-a-half, when you have a right
to them, than they note are,'this premium added
to the interest you receive, will give you at least
10 per cent, per annum for your money—but the
opinion is that ■ they will be worth more than 9
per cent, premium at that time. '' .
7 lh Question. —What other advantage is there
in investing in the 7-30 Loan ?
Answer. —They cannot be taxed by States,
Counties, or Cities, and this saves you two to five
per cent, ou your income, as all railroad and
other bonds, and stocks, mortgages, &c., are
taxed, not only by the Government, hut by States,
Counties and Cities.
6th Question. —How does the Government rajso
the money to pay the interest, and is it safe and
sure ?
Answer. —The Government collects, by taxes,
internal revenue, aud duties on imports, fully
three hundred millions each year. This is nearly
three times as much as is needed to pay the inter
est on all the debt, and as soon as the war is ended,
the amount not needed to pay the interest will be
used in paying off the debt. - Our Government
has twice paid off all her debt, and can easily do
so again. The interest is sure to be paid promptly,
and the debt itself is the very safest investment in
the world. If is as safe as a mortgage on a good
farm, and pays a better interest. It is, in fact, a
First Mortgage on all lands, ail incomes, all rail
road and cauai bonds, aud bank or other stocks,
mortgages ic.
Nothing can be safer, for We are all bound for it,
and all that we have is held and firmly bound for
the payment of principle and interest. How fool
ish those people are, who keep idle, and locked Up,
their gold »nd greenbacks, or purchase mortgages
or railroad stocks' and bonds, which pay only 5 or
• 6 per cent, interest, when these Seven-Thirties
pay (counting the premium on -Pith-Twenties,)
over ten per cent., and,are so much safer and
surer. ~
9i/i Question.— How many Seven-Thirties are
-there, and how much remains unsold ?
Answer. —There are only about three hundred
and twenty-five millions authorized by law, and
only about one hundred and ninety millions re
main unsold., ■ ' " ;
10 th Question. —How long will it take you to
sell the balance ? .:
Answer ■—There are about 800 National Banks
all engaged in selling them ; also a large number
of the old banks, and at least three thousand of
private bankers and brokers, and special agents
will be engaged in all parts of the country,in dis
posing of them to the people. »
1 llli Question. —How long will it take to sell
the whole ?
Answer. —In less than three months, they will
be all sold, and will no doubt, then sell at a pre
mium, as was the case with the old Seven-Thir
ties, the first Twenty-Year Loan, and the Five
Twenties.
The above questions and answers, it is believed,
will give full information to all. If not, the Gen
eral Subscription Agent, or any of the Banks or
Bankers employed to s§ 11 the Loan will be glad to
answer all questions' and <to furnish the Seven-
Thirties in small or large sums, (as the notes are
issued in denominations of $5O, $lOO, $5OO,
$l,OOO and 5,000,) and to render it easy for all
to subscribe—thus fulfilling the instruciions of
Mr. Fessenden, who earnestly desires that the
: people of the whole land, (as well as the capitalists,)
shall have every opportunity afforded them of ob
tain ting a portion of this most desirable .in
vestment,'
