GENERAL ORDER
No. 18.
Corporal Hezekiah Dixson of Company G.
51st P. V. who was reduced to the ranks
at Annapolis Md,, is hereby restored to his
former position, on the recommendation of
his company commander, in consequence of
subsequent good conduct, porticularly at
the Battle of Comden, April {on 1862.
By OrpeR oF CoL., HARTRANFET.
Lieut. George Shorkley,
Acting Adjutant.
We copy the above complimertary notice
of our former townsman, with pleasure, be-
cause we know it will be gratifying to his
friends in this place, and because we are al«
ways glad to see justice rendered to a brave
soldier. Itseems that Corporal Dixon was
reduced to the ranks at Aanapolis, Mary-
land, for some little wildness, we presume,
but for his subsequent good conduct, and
particularly for his bravery at the Battle of
Camden, on the recommendation of his Cap-
tain, he has been restored to his former po~
sition and been very flatteringly spoken of
by Col. Hartranft. We are glad to record
this of * Kite,” and hope that he may still
~ontinue to merit the good opinion of his
Colonel.

Mgs. Soursecks Tee CreanM.--We are in-
debted to Mrs. Sourbeck for her kindness
in sending to the office last week, a large
_ dish of the most delicious ice cream. To
say that all hands enjoyed it is scarcely ne-
cessary, as all who have ever tasted Mrs. S's
cream, pronounce it elegant. Mrs. Sour-
beck’s saloon is on Bishop street, and we
advise all lovers of the genuine article to
give her a call, assuring them that they wil]
not be disappointed either in the quantity
or the quality ef the article the delicious-
ness of which is beyond all dispute. Her
rooms are neatly fitted up, and to spend a
few moments in her parlor with a saucer of
** frozen delight ” m your hand. is an enjoy-
ment not to be sneezed at. We know it to
be 80, because we’ve tried it.

*0Z~ Weare happy to be able to state
hat the ¢ spreet strinkler ” will be around
«% days. Our enterprising friend, Mr.
. Myers, has taken the matter in hand,
.d is now having constructed a large and
ibstantial *¢ sprinkler,” which i§ bound
keep down the dust. By this time neXt
«eek, and probably sooner, the ‘‘mersheen ”’
will be in operation, and, thanks to the com-
mendable energy of Mr. Myers, outfaitizens
can hereafter leave their doors and windows
open without danger of having their
houses filled with dirt. Mr. M., however,
notwithstanding his new engagement, does
not intend to forsake the lightning rod bu-
siness, but will continue to sell the ¢ con-
ductors ”’ as heretofore, and will go when-
ever and wherever he may be desired.
A Litre Story FOR Litre Fanamts.—
We fird the following capital little story go-
ing the rounds of the press and credited to
the La Crcsse Democrat. We recommend
it to the attention of our readers, both great
and small, for the very excellent moral it
contains. The history runs in this wise—
“Once on a time there was a great and hap-
py country full of people. They had all
they wanted, were rich and prosperous, and
all the nations of the earth feared their stars
and stripes. There were thirty millions of
white people in this happy country, and
there were in it, also, fonr millions of happy
negroes. And the white people were jealous
of the happy negroes, and they went to war.
And thousands of lives were lost. And mil
lions of dollars were spent and stolen; and
the happy people became divided aud ruins
ed: and all nations laughed at them, and
heavy taxes had to be levied, because thirty
millions of fools wished to quarrel about
four millions of contented negroes who would
not run away from their happy homes even
to please thirty millions of white trash.—
And the foolish white people became a laugh-
ing stock, and had to labor all their lives to
pay taxes—all for the negroes.”
On
ImprovEMENT.—-Mr. R. D. Cumwings is
now erecting a new brick Hotel on Bishop
Street, a short distance above the Catholic
Church on the Lock Haven road. When
finished this building will be quite an im-
provement'to that part of town, and, togeth-
er with the other buildings recently erected
in that locality by Mr. Cummings, adds
very materially to the appearance of that
end of Bishop street, We believe it 1s Mr.
C's, intention to have his hotel in order for
the reccption of strangers, by the Fourth of
July, on which occasion we understand he
intends to give a “ big dinner,”” We hope
we may be there to see.
0-
Pike's Peak.—We saw a ring of pure
Pike’s Peak gold the other day. It was
sent from that far off region, by Mr. Thad
deus Hamilton, formerly of Bellefonte, to a
young lady of this place. The initials M
E. N. are carved upon the ring, and alto-
gether itis a very beautiful present. There
is nothing peculiar about it, save that it is |
of pure gold taken from Pike’s Peak, and
has traveled such a long distance. This
makes it somewhat of a curiosity.
got
77 We understand that the schools of
this Borough intend holding an exhibition
in the Court House, on the Fourth of July,
the proceeds of the entertainment to be de-
voted to the relief of the wounded and sick
soldiers of Centre County. “This is a very
commendable enterprise, and we hope it
will be encouraged and patronized. When
we learn the particulars, we will lev our
readers hearof them.

Resovar or AmsroryPe CArR.—Mr. T. J.
Taylor has removed his Photograph and
Ambrotype Car from its late position on the
hill back of the Court Ho ase to the hill front-
ing Bishop and Allegheny street, between
Mr. Bond Valentine’s house and Brown's
Hotel, where he will be happy to wait upon
all his friends as heretofore.

The Evacuation of Corinth.
: Corina, May 30.
It is now ascertained that the evacuation
commenced the night before last. The wn-
emy were retreating southwardly until the
railroad bridge was burned, when tney went
to Grand Junction, and from thence south
by the Memphis and New Orleans road.—
Some ladies and citizens remain here. The
citizens inform us that Richmond is evacu-
ated, and Memphis almost wholly deserted,
all the stores being closed —with the excep-
tion of a few groceries.
It is ascertained that Van Dorn has a
band of Indians under him.
Col. Jackson reports finding the road for
miles strewn with “knapsacks, haversacks,
arms, and canteens, showing great demor-
al ization. The woods were full of strag-
glers, who were being brought up as fast as
ossible. Propably from 2,000 to 3,000
ve been brought in, and almost the entire
Thirteenth Louisania are now within our
lines, from those who degertéd and the re-
cently captured. .
The U. S. telegraph line was completed
here to night.

OFFICIAL DISPATCH.
WasninetoN, May, 31.—The following
dispatch was received this morning at the
War Department :
HeapQuArTERS CAMP NEAR CORINTH
May 30 1862
T'o the Hon. E. M. Stanton Sec. of War.
The enemy’s position and works in
front of Corinth were exceedingly strong
and he cannot occupy a stronger position in
the flight. This morning he destroyed an
immense amount of public and private pro-
perty, stores, wagons tents, &c. For miles
out of the town the roads are filled with
arms, haversacks, &c., thrown away by his
flying troops. A large number of prisoners
and deserters have been captured, estima-
ted by Gen, Popeat 2,000.
Gen. Beauregard evidently distrusts his
army or he would have defended so strong
a position, lis troops are generally much
discouraged and demoralized. In all their
engagements for the last fer days their re-
sistance has been weak.

Evacuation of Corinth ®
THE PARTICULARS.
GEN. HaLLECK's [TEADQUARTERS May 30. —
During nearly all last night the moving of
cars and the suppressed sound of steam
whistles betokened that some movement was
going on in the enemy's camp, but this not
being any extraordinary occurrence, it was
not considered worthy of more than a passing
remark.
About 5 o'clock this morning several ex
plosions were distinctly heard, Tmmediate-
ly afterwards skirmishers were thrown ont,
and a general advance of the United States
army commenced, when it was found that
the enemy had left his stronghold and fled.
A very large amount of railroad iron was
left untouched. There being some twelve or
fifteen tracks of railroad running from the
depot to the entrenchments, with side tracks
and switches, the enemy was enabled to
move off with great rapidity.
From all information that can be gleaned
from ths prisoners taken, it is thought that
the evacuation was commenced at sundown
last night, the enemy retreating in three
directions—East, West and South.
Beauregard stated to the citizens of Cor-
mth that he intended to throw himself on
both our flanks.
At this hour Corinth, is held by our army
as an outpost.
Our cavalry are s:eking for the enemy.—
The force sent from General Pope’s command
came upon and dispersed the enemy eight
miles below Corinth, on the Mobile and
Ohio railroad, while in the act of burning
the bridge at that point.
Forty prisoners were captured.
The enemy’s rear guard destroyed the
railroad depot at Corinth and a church, and
intended to destroy the entire village, but
the inhabitants saved some fifty of the
houses. A few bales of cotton were con.
sumed. They also broke open many of the
stores and burned the contents.
A large force of the United States cavalry
under Colonel Elliott, was sent out on Wed-
nesday morning, by a circuitous route to de -
stroy a bridge on the Mobile and Onio rail«
road south of Corinth.
Though this expedition has not returned,
we learn from the prisoners that it was
known in Corinth last night that a bridge
Lad been restored. forty miles south, by a
body of our cavalry.
They also state that one of the 20 pound
er Parrott shells fired from Gen. Pope’s col-
umn in the fight yesterday, exploded in
their camp, killing eighty men and a hun-
‘| dred horses,” and that a 30-pound shell
thrown into Corinth as an experiment by
Gen. Pope, destroyed a locomotive and killed
its engineer.
It is thought, among military me», that
the destruction of the bridge South of Cor~
inth, the uncomfortable proximity of our
falling shells and the possibility of Federal
successes on the Mississippi, were the caus-
es of the evacuation
The enemy’s works were certainly of very
great strength, and capable of a stout resis
tance.
——at —
From the Providence Post. ]
What Then!
If we achieve a victory at Corinth, and
another at Richmond —if we take Memphis
and Norfolk and Charleston and Savannah
—if our victorious standard 1s carried into
the very heart of the rebellion,—what
then?
The war will be nearer to its close un
questionably, for States cannot endure an
eternity of disasters in the field, and still
command the resources of war. But when
exhaustion compels the laying down of arms,
what follows ?
It seems to us that we may possibly
achieve the suppression of armed rebellion,
without restoring the Union. A stubborn
resistance of the smaller machinery of gov-
ernment might prove even more troublesome
than a war for complete independence.
Henry A. Wise proposed to fight in the
Union, for what he styled Southern rights
as far more likely to prove more successful
than to go out of the Union and fight against
it.
As we understood Mr. Wise’s plan, it was
to recognize the government in the abstract
sense, and repudiate such parts of its ma-
chinery as seemed objectionable.
would have repudiated abolition measures
as violations of the Constitution, and pun-
ished the stealing of negroes by actsofretal-
1ation through Southern legislation. =
All laws which were not acceptable he
would have treated very much as we of the
North have treated the fugitive slave law,
“only a little more so.”
The course which he recommended would
have proved very annoying. The courts in
the South weuld have furnished no remedy
for the evils, and a standing army would
be a necessity in order to maintain a de-
cent show of authority, What if this plan
should now be adopted ?
Or, if the non resistant principle should
be adopted, what then # What could we
do with a population of seven millions, who
steadily refuse to recognize the government
save by compulsion but yet declined to resist
it by force # Would not the cost of maintain-
ing a government in such a community prove
a troublesome affair? How many men,
acting upon this principle, could we afford
to hang or imprison ? What would legai
Gaus against them be worth in the mar.
et?
But let us suppose a more favorable state
of affairs. Let us suppose that after a few
more defeats, they sue for peace, and pro.
pose arbitration. This we could not assert
to ; but would not the refusal to do so be
followed by the actual intervention of foreign
powers ? Are we forgetting that this war is
expensive to France and England as well as
to ourselves ?
Try once more. Let them propose an
armistic and a convention to revise the Con.
stitution, with the understanding that they
will come back if the Constitution is made
unobjectionable, or nearly so, and what
then ¢ Could their proposal be accepted ?—
Thus he
How many friends would it find at the
North ?
Or, suppose, finally, they should offer to
return to the Union just as it is, or just as
it was; who can guarantee them a wel-
come ? The radical Republicans insist that
we myst have a new Union not the old one,
and they express great confidence that the
President is with them. Is Ae? Has hea
policy ? :
We have not referred the question as to
who shall pay the cost of this war or to any
minor matters of detail, the settlement of
which will be sure to be attended with dif
ficulty. Bat we have gone far cnough to
perceive that the whole question is one of
embarrassment. We judge that a few
weeks or months may witness a lull in the
fighting, but that the Union will not be re-
stored, unless by foreign interference, until
the people have become far more weary of
the war than ghey now show themselves to
be. The South seems bent upon utter an-
nihiliation, rather than submission. They
are making the same sacrifices of property
and comfort which we should expect of a
people who were fully determined upon in-
dependence or death they put the torch to
their property as though it were wholly
valueless and endare camp life and its hard-
ships as though it were a christian virtue
and a pleasure. [tis unsafe to predict that
they will yield while the means of fighting
remains. They may be butchered and tox-
tured or starved into submission. but who
can say when ?
As for the North it has not yet began to
realize the cost of war. The taxgatherer
has not yet made his appearance. and the
abolitionists are still striving to alienate the
country and make resunion impossible.—
There is but one way to restore the Union,
and that is to elect such men to Congress as
will give their attendance to measures for
saving the Union instead of liberating the
negroes.
