Ihe f edtod gnquieet. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY,IIARCH 10. 1865. SPRING ELECTION. We would urge upon our friends in the town ships the importance of the coming Spring Elec tion. It is true that they are somewhat local in their character, and seldom do we think of associ ating with them any of the great issues before the people, yet these issues do at the same time exist and are really connected with them. Experience has long since demonstrated the necessity of rigid ly adhering to the minor duties of any organisa tion, for upon the result of these primary elec tions depends the fate of our general cause. Let our friends, therefore, everywhere organize, aud by concert of action, and with harmony in our councils, we shall be able to secure a glorious tri umph over our boastful enemies. The opposition are vigilant and in keeping with their past con duct will spare no effort, nor any scheme, to thwart our purposes. Let it not be said that- while our sons and brothers are now gallantly bearing the arms of the Union into the very heart of the Re bellion, aud whilst the stars and stripes are being victoriously planted on almost every hill, and in every city of the doomed Confederacy, that we are indifferent to these mighty events : hut let us evince by our voices at the polls that we sympa thize with them in this great struggle for the Union and for Human Liberty. Let us, then, kin dle anew the fires of patriotism and vow never to submit or yield to the avowed enemies of our glo rious Republic. _ THE BLACK BPFXTRE VI RICHMOND. The ghost which at present disturbs Richmond is not white, but black ; but it is none the less confu sing and terryfying. Their teeth chatter, their brains are addled, their thoughts become confused, and their words ridiculous, at Richmond, in the pres ence of this frightful black spectre. If in the multi tude of counsellors there is safety, seemingly the Confederacy was never so safe as now. for all the penny-a-liners and all the stump orators in Virgin ia appear to have broken out at once, with reason ings of every imaginable nature. The Richmond Enquirer forcibly denounces the Confederate Senate for its vote against arming ne- i groes, and urges that Mr. Davis shall defy that little body of recalcitrant outlaws which calls itself a Sen ate in Richmond, and assumes dictatoral and '-su pra constitutional powers." "These states and this cause stand to-day in need of a Dictator—of a man who will take the power of the people, and use it for their preservation : and such a man. whether President Davis or General Lee, would be borne on the shoulders of a grateful people, if either of them would, with a strong hand, seize power and exercise it for the public safety." The Whig depracates a quarrel between the cot ton and border states, which, it says, "if not quickly hushed will necessarily prove fotal to the cause." The Examiner declares that General Lee. in insis ting on liberty for the slaves who are to be forced into his army, has shown himself "not a good south erner. " It asserts that —"those senators who hold that it would be a cruel injury, both to white and black, to sever their pres ent relation of master and slave, that to make ''free dom'" a reward for service is at war wtth the first principles of this relation, and is the beginning of abclition, and that abolition means the abandonment of the black race to inevitable destruction upon this continent—those senators are undoubtedly right." From this we gather that the war is conducted by the rebels on purely philanthropic principles, and for the preservation and benefit of the blacks. An other speaker, a North Carolinian, warns the public that if Lee attempts a conscription of the blacks, there will be an insurrection amongst them ; other orators mourn and moan about the injury the use of negroes asrol<lierH Uiust do the 'rccnlia*_inatitution.' Some prophecy that the blacks will not fight; and yet others —a considerable party—cry out: ''Make them fight but don't give them their liberty." In the meantime the opponents of the Senate rejoice that General Lee has taken the bull by the horns — has begun to drill "two companies of blacks" in the very streets of Richmond. It does not seem to have occurred to any of these persons that the number of able-bodied blacks with in the reach of General Lee's conscript officers is probably so small—not five thousand in all the region with which he now holds communication —that the rebel Senate refused to give up the principle of slavery for so slight an advantage. Nor has it, seemingly, occurred to them, that if the blacks could be put into the army they would be missed in the cornfields. Nor have they remembered that to enlist, form, drill and make fit for a line of battle, ! such an army of negroes as they speak of would re quire at least four or five months —by which time the crisis for which they are required will be past. — Nor, finally, do they appear to see that the argu ments for, as well as the arguments against, making soldiers ot the blacks, which are promulgated at Richmond, alike tend to cover the slaveholders with ridicule and show up the monstrus absurdity of their principles, the bollowness of their professions, and the wickedness of their cause.— N. T. Evening Post. DEATH OF GOVERNOR CANNON, OF DELAWARE. Governor William Cannon died Wednesday, af ter a short illness, of typhoid fever. He was at man of sterling worth, of thorough loyalty, and of unflinching intrepidity of character. His influ- ' ence over the aflairs of Delaware has been great, 1 and his efforts to keep the state in the right track, opposed as he was by a legislature devoted to the interests of slavery and strongly tinctured with secessionism, were so successful as to reflect high honor upon him as public man. Governor Cannon, though a resident of a slave state, was a thorough opponent of the slave sys tem, and that upon the ground that slavery injures all free workingmen. In his last annual message to the legislature he said . '"Slave labor is uncom pensated, white labor is compensated ; when the two are brought into competition, white labor is crowded out. If capital owns its labor, the ave nues of honest livelihood are forever closed to the white." His death will be felt as a severe blow by the Union men of Delaware. He is succeeded, until an election can be held, by the Speaker of the Senate. DEATH OF CARDINAL WISEMAN. Nicholas Wiseman, Cardinal Archbishop of Westminister, died at his residence in London on the 15th of February, at the age of sixty-three years. For nearly fifteen years he held the first ecclesiastical rank of the Roman Catholic church in England, having been raised to the dignity of a cardinal in September, 18,50. Born in Sevile, -Spain, of English and Irish parentage, he was educated in Ireland, and studied theology in Eng land. In 1818 he went to Rome, and in 1827 was appointed professor of Oriental languages in the Roman University, but in 1835 he returned to England, where he became celebrated as a preach er, lecturer, and a polemical writer. Among his published works are three volumes of "Essays on Various Subjects.' a talc entitled "Fabiola; or, the Church of the Catacombs," "Recollections of the Last Four Popesand of Rome in their Times," "The Hidden Gem, " a play written for St. Cuth bert's College, and numerous lecturesand address es PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.. Secretary Stanton, after waiting three months for Gen. Grant's report of his last summer's campaign, sent his report to Congress on Friday without it, Gen. Grant not having had leisure to write it ifup. The report recapitulates the military events of the year, all of which are already familiar to the public, and4he general features of the year's record are con sidered as highly satisfactory and encouraging. The veteran enlistments, amounting to over 136,000 men are spoken of as adding greatly to the efficiency of the army. The arrest of deserters and stragglers has been pushed with vigor, and 80,392 were arres ted between October 1, 1863, and October 1, 1864. On October 1, 1864, the veteran reserve corps con sisted of 764 officers, and 28,738 men. The report states that a general exchange of prisoners is now going on, and each prisoner has a furlough of 30 days as they arrive at Annapolis. The bill to establish a home for disabled soldiers has passed both Houses of Congress. It incorpo rates Lieut. Gen. Grant and 90 others. Ihe capital is to be 1,000,000 and is to be made up of military fines, deductions from pay and donations. No di rect expense is to be incurred by the government, no small recommendation in these days ot large ex penses. The Archbishop of Avignon was lately in a rail road car near Narbonne, which was overtaken by a snow .storm a league from any dwelling house, and could not be extricated for four days. The travel ers passed two days and two nights in the carriages half of which were filled with snow. There they remained motionless without fire, light or food. The first who attempted tocome to their relief was a man employed on the railroad, but he fell dead on the snow, and others were tlpis discouraged from offer ing assistance. Afler forty-eight hours confinement in the snow, guides were found to direct the -travel ers to Lezignan. The Archbishop wore light shoes which he lost in the snow after walking a few steps. He walked above two miles barefooted, unconscious of the loss of his shoes, and his feet were frozen so that he cannot return so his diocese for a mouth. Some zealous New York Republicans went to Washington to engineer the anti-slavery amend ment through Congress after the New York style. They told the Republican leaders in Congress they had brought fifty thousand dollars for the purpose. After the amendment had passed they proprosed to settle up, aud were told that the exa"t cost was twenty-seven dollars and fifty cents. '-Good Lord,' was the final exclamation of these worthies, "that isn't the way they do things at Albany !" The government has, within the past few days, pretty nearly accomplished the work of repossessing the United States property which was taken from it by the secessionists in 1861. One after another the forts, custom houses, and navy yards have come back into our hands, until there remains very indeed to be taken. A letter from General Meade states that deserters come into our lines at the rate of one hundred and forty per day,'and that all veterans and conscripts are now being retained at the front by General Lee. Governor C'urtin has concluded to postpone his visit to the South for three orfour weeks. His pres ence here for the next few days will be quite neces sary. — Har. Tel. The Catholic Telegraph says, "Halleck is poor authority upon any subject, excepting the topogra phy from Pittsburg Landing to Corinth." GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. The United States Service Magazine, in an arti cle on the Quartermaster's Department, says that when in May, Sherman started to open the cam paign from Chatanooga —"Sir,"' said he to the Quartermaster at Nashville, "I shall move from o totonnAra whv" -—.onint General orut , m. —ready or not ready—and if you dont have my ar my supplied, and keep it supplied, we'll eat your mules sir." And William Tecumseh no doubt thor oughly meant it, but the Quartermaster was up to time and saved his mules. Here is what Gen. Grant thinks of one hundred day's troops : CITY POIXT, Va., Feb. 27, 1865.—H0n. E. M. Stanton Secretary of War :—I do not think favorably of Governor Fenton's proposition. The value of one hundred day's men is more than absorbed in getting them to where they are wanted, and in trans ferring men relieved by them to where they will be needed, and again in relieving them when their time expires. U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General. The Rio de la Plata has become a theatre of war. The Montevideans have formally declared their rup ture with Brazil, and on the 18th of December the treaties existing between that empire and the repub lic of Uruguay were publicly burned in Independence Square at Montevideo, in the presence of President Aguirre and a number of Uruguay Generals and the Ministers of State. The Brazilian army captured the city of Paysaudu on the 2d of January. The San Francisco Democrat professes to know j all about Dr. Gwin, Mexico, Maximilian and Louis ] Napoleon, and their schemes in common, and in sists that Sonora and adjacept provinces of western Mexico are mortgaged to Napoleon, and that Gwin is to be at the head of them, a sort of agent, secre tary or "boss," for both the French and Mexican emperors. If Gwin has gone to Europe, it is only to perfect arrangements, and he is coming back to take possession about May 1. The statistics of military-prison life on Johnson's Island, where 7,771 rebel prisoners have been re ceived during the last two years, show a mortality of only 210, or little more than 21 per cent. The j per centage of deaths among our prisoners confined at Salisbury, N. C.. was more than nine times great er. That is, it reached to about one-fourth of the entire number. Letters from Rome to the London journals assert that the Papal Court, however irritated by the recent letter of the Emperor of Mexico, will probably not withdraw the Nuncio from that country, but will de cline to conclude a concordat with the Mexican government. Miss Emma Hardinge, a California girl, lectured at New York, on Thursday night, on the war. She compared Abraham Lincoln to Moses, and Buchanan to Judas Iscariot. Poor Judas ! There is a hill before the New York legislature to incorporate a Turkish bath company at New York with a capita! of $25,000, with power to increase it to $260,000. New York needs more bath houses. "Carleton," of the Boston Journal procured the slave auction block of Charleston, and intends to have Gov. Andrew make a speech from it. He also brought home the locks from the iron doors of the slave pen. " Occupation of Georgetown, N. C. The Flagship Sunk by a Torpedo. PHILADELPHIA March 6.— The United States steam transport Massachusetts has arrived. She reports that our naval forces captured Fort White, a splendid work mounting 17 heavy guns, situated iust below Georgetown. S. C., after which the sai lors and marines landed and captured Georgetown. The rebel cavalry made a charge on them in the ■ streets, but were gallantly repulsed, with a loss of several killed and wounded and some prisoners.— Our loss was one man killed belonging to the navy. Admiral Dahlgren's flagship Harvest Moon on her way down was sunk by a torpedo. AH hands were saved excepting the ward room steward. THK RIhUVAUtiUBATION. ABRAHAM LINCOLN AGAIN PRESIDENT. ANDREW JOHNSON VICE-PRESIDENT THE PRESIDENT'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS. THE INAUGURATION. WASHINGTON, March 4. The greatest day in our Republican calendar is the 4th of March. It is -the focus towards which the political eyes of the whole country are con tinually turned. As soon as one of these grand events has terminated, as soon as the voice of the Executive has concluded the prescribed oath, and the last cheer from the crowd assembled has died away, from that moment our people forget the scene just witnessed and look forward with expect ant eyes wouderiug who will read the next address and who will next kiss the Bible at his initiation into office. STATE OF THE CAPITAL. For the last three days the capital has been crowded with strange faces. Which ever way we turn we see the strongly marked characteristic of the various sections of our country. There stands the Yankee. His thin, pinched and sharply intel ligent face proclaims his antecedents to be inhabi tants of the rocky New England. Next to him walks the broad Dutch face of the genuine Mau hattanese ; while, behind, the quiet, placid face of a Philadelphian proclaim his forefathers were Quakers, aud he a citizen ef the City of' Brotherly Love. The tall, tawny Western man. with the long, dark representative of the Border States, completes the typical delegation. We uii>s from among the crowd those faces which have so long been accustomed to be seen upon such a day as this. The broad brimmed Quakers are few, and the flashing, fire-eating Southerner has disappeared. It seems as though the class had become extinct, and takes its place with the mammoth aud masto don of the ages of the past. It is a matter of congratulation that you hive a roof to cover you, if you have one. All the hotels have dining-rooms covered with sleeping forms. Enter a parlor and von stumble over a Rhode Islander, kick a New Yorker, injure a Pennsjdvanian, and fall prostrate upon the reclining form of a giant Kanawha man. A volley of oaths tor your intrusion is the result Each swears by his favorite god—Jove. Jupiter, Tarnation (the tutelary deity of New England), with Hercules, and "these great United States," are the favorites most generally invocated. If the basement of the sofa is unoccupied, you may be thankful. Such is the state of the Capital. STATE OF THE fOPULAUF,. The whole population of the city arc on the qui vive, and surmises, of the wildest kiud are being hourly circulated. Some state that a total reor ganization of the Cabinet will immediately result; others are confident that no change whatever will lie made- Hundreds have been endeavoring to penetrate the mystery which envelops the Inaugu ral, and some one must have hit upon its contents, for every imaginable form of government of which our civil policy is capable has been assigned as its views. There seems to be a general prevailing spirit of joy among all present. Even the Demo crats appear to have gotten over the grief of their defeat, and have come to the capital determined not to mar the happiness of the occasion by any ill feeling over their recent defeats. Perhaps they have already seen through the victories of Sherman aud ferry, that it is all for the best, and that the plan of peace and good will would have availed nothinjr, thus forever ruining the propi >sed policy of the McClellan adniinistra tion. The excitement and enthusiasm increased by the appearance of any celebrated character is intense. Gen. Hancock, while peacefully walking the streets a few days since, was recognized by a crowd, and received such cheers as only can come from the hearts of a people. This is but an index of the popular excitement, ft would not be well for any advocate of secession to be known to this multitude of loyal Northerner-. All sections have caught the infection, aud seoui determined to ex hibit nothing but happiness, enthusiasm, and pa triotism. THE WEATHER Af I) STREETS. When the first dawning of light enabled objects to be diatiogidsW. therewindows to the wished-for clear day had really arrived. Alas tor human hopes ! A deep, murky, and warm atmosphere covered the whole ot the city— a more unpropitious day has never happened to be selected for an Inauguration. The rain was falling in torrents, and the ordinary impassable j streets of Washington became actually knee-deep ' in mud. The crossings were dangerous to look upon, and a thousand sadder persons returned af ter their inspection to moan tnat fate was so un kind as to disappoint the fair. At 11 o'clock the procession commenced to form on the avenue, notwithstanding the heavy rain still continued, and as the men took their places in | line they sank over boot-top in tnud. Nothing, i however, could deter the determination of the I crowd. Curiosity was the fiend which ruled su preme, and the populace was determined, even if a South American thunder-storm was to visit the eity, that they would witness the ceremony. Be fore the procession was prepared to move, the whole upper portion of the avenue was one dense mass of people. At 12 o'clock the procession commenced its march. TIIF. PROCESSIONAL DISPLAY The procession is marching down Pennsylvania avenue, that delightful avenue so remarkable for its dust and mud. and its rows of multitudinous small shops included between the Capitol and the White House. Along this dreary extent, and beautiful varie gating the broad extent, the vast body of mops is jubilantly marching. The display is magnificent indeed. Immediately after the head started the rain ceased to fall, and although the deep mud in the streets rendered them almost impassable, the dis play was grand. The crowds which were en lief ted on the sidewalks beggar all description. The win dows of every house were tilled with happy human faces, and flags floated from the top of every pole. The house-tops and roofs swarmed with daring adventurers, who were determined to see the ele phant even if it cost them their lives. The line of march extended op the avenue, and covered over a mile. In a barouche rode the Pref ident, followed by all the high dignitaries of offipi in their carriages. The display of trops was im posing, and the negro regiments paradaded fineli. and attracted much attention. Truly they ougk to turn out on such a day, for to him do they ow< their elevation from degration. Burnished ana and equipments would be absolutely dazzling b their splendor. As it is, the general magnificence of the paraf is in striking contrast to the very dispiriting drea incss of the day. To say that the sidewalks ar ' jammed with walkers is to say quite nothing at all : Persons are crammed as close together as droj 1 of rain before they unite and form one commi , watery mass. 1 f each spectator held a torch his hand, the whole array would be one heavin ' surging sea of light. Window-sills, threshold door-posts, signs, awnings, lamp-posts, roof-ledge > every nook, available and seemingly unavailable, : employed to accommodate the countless mass. Humanity here is being offered up onhecatom of curiosity. Indies and gentlemen, and by the are not meant those who are such in dress on are waving hats, hands, and pocket-handkerchie , The visiting Philadelphia Fire Departments clic j universal enthusiasm by the unwonted brillian of its tout ensemble. ! Throughout the entire length of the processi excellent bands of music are braying forth th most glorious strains. On the part of the pri • the Chronicle, representatives have a large tn with a press on it. and are printing off a Chron Junior by hundreds. The concurse wildly receive them. The proc 3 sion has been one hour in passing a given poi i though, from the distractions caused by theinte . enthusiasm of the throng, it is impossible to g 1 its precise length. The streets have been redu< - to an almost impassable condition, but the C . Fellows, whose presence with their bands is one 5 the features of the day. are used to marching f all sorts of weather, and look nobly. When old flag comes in sight, fresh cheers go up ah the line. This is indeed an epithalamium of fr l dom. It is such a carnival as probably was qe i before seen. It is a long time since we have ha reinauguration, and the weather would have prove as tempestuous and sulphureous as it unfor t tnately did in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah, for the procession to forbear turning out, or the populace to forbear looking on. The mingled noises are blended together harmoniously by the subdued thunder of the countless drums. ARRIVAL AT THE CAPITOL. On arriving at the Capitol, His Excellency dis mounted from his carnage amidst the wildest cheering from the vast sea of human beings who were collected together to witness the proceedings. Ihe troops drew up in two open ranks and pre sented anus. President Lincoln passed between them, and cs c irted by the Vice-President elect, the new Chief J ustieo, Hon. S. P. Chase, with the ,Supreme Court in their robes of office, entered the Senate ( hamber. Here were assembled all the members of the Senate and of the House, with their wives uid families in the galleries. The ex-Congress men formed quite a decided feature of the oeca sion. A large delegation of the 36th and 3i th were present, with quite a number of the uewly elected, v hose terms of office comuicnce_ to-day. After an e ithusiastie reception the President entered. A solemn silence prevailed. The Vice-President e.ect, Hon. Andrew Johnson, then rose anddeliv eed a few remarks. He pledged himself to sup j ort the Union in the future as in the past. lie (! 'dared his unswerving devotion to the cause of liberty. He returned thanks for the honor con f rred, and stepped forward to receive the oath prescribed by the Constitution. The oatli was administered amid a profound si !• nee. Immediately after he received the oath he descended from the chair, and proceeded to the c ntre of the House, where the Pr jsident was seat el. Mr. Lincoln then arose, without displaying a iv nervousness, and accepted the arm of Mr. J ohnson, which the latter proffered him. The procession was then formed the President aid the new Vice-President leading the line, the ( hief Justice of the United States accompanied by his associates, the other members of the Supreme Judiciary ; the ex-Vice President, Hon. Hannibal 1' amlin; t lie members of the Senate, lead by Hou. Solomon Foot; then the Foreign Ministers, who v ere largely represented ; the House of Represen tatives and the invited guests of the army and Na vy brought up the rear. The appearance of the tall form of the President 1 .-educed an instantaneous effect. The whole col or of the vast mass of humanity which was gath e *ed around the cast end of the capital was changed and transfixed as if by a magician s wand. . The sight was grand in theextreme. Thousands —their name was legion—were all crying at once, a id cheering for the man of the people's choice. 1 lie excitement and enthusiasm seemed likely nev er to subside. The procession, as it appeared on t ie va-t staging erected for its reception, was gor g 'OUS. The Foreign Ministers were in full court dresa ; aid some were worthy of regal magnificence. As one distinguished man followed another, the cheer ing increased and became deafening. Ihe appear ance of Vice-Admiral Farragut in the full insignia o:' his new office, was greeted with a storm of ap -1 ause. After the arrival on the platform, the 1 resident proceeded to take the seat prepared for h m on the front of the stage, and seemed for a mo n ent overcome by such a demonstration of popu lar love. Directly opposite himjsat the Chief Jus tice, who was now for the first time called upon to j.jrfonn the duties of his high position. When s lence was restored 31 r. Abraham Lincoln advan ced and read in a clear and powerful voice THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS. MARCH 4, 1865. FELLOW COUNTRYMEN : At this second appearing to take the oath of the 1 residential office, there is less occasion for an ex tended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be 1 ursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four yeatw, during v hich public declarations have been constantly cal 1< d forth on every point and phase of the great c mtest which still absoibs the attention and en grosses the energies of the nation —little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else c iiefly depends, is as well known to the public as t > iuvself. and it is. 1 tru.-t. reasonably sarisfacto With ftfrVhe future, no prediction it r tgard to it is ventured. On the occasion corres j ending to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All treaded it; all sought to avert it While the Inaugural Address was being deliver c 1 from this place, devoted altogether to the saving ' of the Union without war, insurgent agents were i i the city seeking to destroy it without war seek ing to dissolve the Union, and divide the effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive and the other would accept war rather than let it ] erish. And the war came. One-eighth of the r hole population were colored slaves, not distrib uted generally over the Union, but localized in the , teuthern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful ! interest. All knew that this interest was some iiowjthe cause of the war. To strengthen, perpet ! uate, and extend this interest was the object for ? v hich the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlarge ment of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of r t le conflict might cease with or even before the 8 c inflict itself should cease. : Each looked lor an easir triumph, and a result Lss fundamental and astounding. Both read the " same Bible, and pray to the same God, and each 0 i ivoke his aid against the other. It may seeru ' s range that any men should dare to ask a just C od's assistance in wringing their bread from the 1 sweat of other men's faces. 0 But let us judge not that wo be not judged. The j i ravers of both could not be answered ; that of 1 neither of us has been answered fully. The Al " mighty has His own purposes—' Woe unto the ' v orld because of offences, for it must needs be that ' offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the > i ffense coineth.'' If we shall suppose that American slavery is one .of those offences which, in the Providence of God ? l lust needs corne, but which, having continued y t iroughout His appointed time. He now wills to 1 r move, and that He gives to both North and 1 South this terrible war as the woe due to those by "v. honi the offense came, shall we discern therein 1 a iy departure from these divine attributes which ' the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? ! 1 ondly do we hope, fervently do we pray that this 'mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet if God wills that it continue until all the ' wealth piled by the bondman's two hundred and [fifty years ot unrequited toil shall be sunk, and j until every drop of blood drawn with the lash be [ paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said ! t iree thousand years ago so it- must still be said— • • The judgments of the Lord are trueand righteous s a together." With malice towards none, with charity for all v> ith firmness in the right, let us strive on to fin i h the work we are in, to hind up the nation's | wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the i battle, and for his widow and hisorphan ; to do all (which may achieve and cherish a just and a lasting [peace among our-eives and with all nations. I WAY or THE TRANSGRESSOR. —Aman named James j Boal M'Dowell, who was drafted in Cambria City |in May last, but tailed to report, was killed on the jr; ilroad opposite this place between two and three [o clock on Saturday morning last. He had come ; up on the Fast Line from Pittsburg to visit his fam | ily residing near Cambria furnace, and got off at Conemaugh Station, two miles east of Johnstown !In walking down the railroad he met a freight train c 'ining up, but did not observe that the fast passen g r train going West was just behind him. The rest is asily told. In stepping ont of the way of the up train, he stepped in front of the passenger train and was almost instantly killed. No blame, of course attaches to any body. The deceased had declared his intention to become an American citizen, and was therefore liable to the d aft. Had he promptly reported for duty he might be living yet and his honor would have been preser ved.— Johsto&n Tribune. SHERIDAN! VICTORY IV TTHK VALLEY!
