Important from Gen. Grant's Division
We have the following late news
from Cairo, dated Feb. s:
The force under Gen. Grant arrived
:at Itris landing, six miles from Fort
Henry, yesterday afternoon. The
gunboats Essex and St. Louis made a
reconnoissance of the rebel works for
the purpose of landing the forces.
They went within a mile and a half
of the Fort, throwing several shells in
side the entrenchments. The fire was
returned.
One shot struck the Essex, going
through the corner of Capt. Porter's
cabin.
The range of their guns being ascer
tained, a place was selected for bind
ing, which was to be (lone yesterday
afternoon.
The force of the enemy is supposed
to be fifteen thousand. A despatch
dated to-day, says that Gen. Grant's
force was within four miles of Fort
Henry. A fight is expected to-day.
We have dates from Fortress Mon
roe to Feb 4. There is no news in re
lation to the Burnside Expedition.
Despatches from the Rebel General
Johnson were received by Gen'l Mc-
Clellan on the 4th. The message is
said to bave been from Jeff. Davis to
President Lincoln, announcing that, if
the Federal Government permit the
rebel bridge burners to be hung, under
the order of General Ilalleck, that the
Federal prisoners—Colonels Corcoran,
Lee, Wilcox and others, held as hosta
ges for the safety of the pirates, shall
be immediately hung in retaliation.—
A Cabinet meeting was called to con
sider the subject, but the result has not
been made public. The sentiment ex
pressed by those who know the pur
port of the message is, that the officer
who brought it, thereby disgracing the
slag of' truce, should have been retained
and hung with the bridge burners.
A dispatch from Washington, dated
Feb. 5, P. M., says Highly impor
tant and very encouraging despatches
were received at the State Department,
this morning, by telegraph. Their ex
act tenor is not made public, but they
are very favorable to the Government.
AN Excimsor, says that Arnold
should no longer be held up as the
basest character in our American his
tory. The men who have robbed the
nation of millions of dollars, and all
the while professed to be the most de
voted friends of their bleeding coun
try, for the sake of carrying on the
Inure successfully their thieving oper.
p.tions, went so gm beyond Arnold in
damnable treachery, that his acts wore
the purest patriotism compared with
theirs,
Counr,ormx.—We stated in our last
issue that tho Resolution which origi
nated in our State Senate, instructing
- Wilmot and Cowan to Tote for the ex
pulsion of Mr. Bright, passed that
body by a strict party vote. This was
a mistake—the resolution passed unan
mously.
East Teinessee,
It is humiliating and heart-rending
to read the accounts from East Ten
nessee. By Tuesday's Press, we learn
that "Parson Brownlow's health is very
poor. his son stated that he doubted
whether his father would live to reach
the Federal lines; and if his health
would permit, he did not believe the
rebel guard would let him go."
When such men are, thus cruelly
&Tilt with, is it not enough to arouse
the indignation and contempt of every
loyal man and woman? For a man who
has sacrificed all, even his own free
dom, for the sake of his country, should
there not be something done? and that
speedily too. If there is a man in the
country who deserves to be admired
for his bravery, patriotism, and self
sacrificing devOtion to the Union, Par
son Brownlow certainly is that man.
Again, in the same paper of the same
date, we read that a gentleman who is
on his way to see Andy Johnson, reports
that the rebels have seized Johnson's
house, turned it into a hospital and
confiscated all his property—that in
order to save his mother from the most
fiendish persecution, one.of Johnson's
sons had to take the offal to support
the rebel cause, or at least not to fur
nish aid and coutfd,lrt . to the Federals.
Another son ia-kiding among the hills ;
aniL,J,ias been since last December,
lookiiig Aria eager, longing eyes for
the approlieh of the Federal forces.-
7s not this heart-rending in the ek
treine? Yet Andy Johnson is at this
very moment, in his seat in the Senate
Chamber at Washington, proclaiming
his de;otion to the Union, and defying
all the vengeance that can be inflicted
on him or his helpless wife and chil
dren. Is not Andy Johnson a mar
tyr? and for what? For upholding
the Government that Las protected
him since he first saw the light of day,
and because he will not, like Arnold,
forsake her in her hour of need. What
does he say- of an "advance?" Like
a patriot, he leaves it to the discretion
and -judgment of the Commander-in-
Chief, and while his own wife and chil
dren are suffering from the persecution
of traitors, and his property confisca
ted for their own base use, not a mur
mur zir complaint escapes his lips. In
our admiration of the man we are lost
in the thought of how his wrongs can be
avenged, his helpless family restored
to his arms, and his property wrested
from the bands of a band of marauding
assassins.
"A VERY LITTLE TRICK."—We know
it will be an uphill business, but still
we feel like trying to keep our neigh
bors of the Journal & American near
the truth. Speaking of the contest in
the house of Representatives, between
Mr. Cessna and Mr. Householder•, for
a seat as Representative from Bedford
county, the 'burial cC• American says:
"The 'Union Democratic' Speaker
appointed a committee of six Demo
crats and butt three Republicans to try
the ease, and of course,• John Cessna,
being a Democrat, was declared Rep
resentative elect."
:Now, the editors of the Joarizal if-
Anierican DID know, or could have
known, if they had given the proceed-'
ings of the House upon the question
their attention, that the Speaker had
less to do with the forming of the com
mittee titan any other member Aiiat
body. The names of all the members,
excepting those of Mr. Householder •
and the Speaker, were placed in a box
by the Clerk, and were drawn out by
the Clerk, it„Tui challenged by Mr.
Householder and Mr. Cessna. The
names of Messrs. Wiinley, Hoffer, Mc-
Manus, Smith and Worley, remaining
in the box after the required number
had been challenged, they were added
to the following names of those not
challenged: Messrs. Graham. Happer,
cowan,Divins,Elliett,Caldwell,Strang,
Moore, Banks, - Wakefield, - Rhoads and
Craig.
The parties, with the counsel, being
furnished with the above list of seven
teen names, retired with the clerk of
the House, for the purpose of striking
off alternately until the number should
be reduced to nine members. They
returned the following named gentle
' men to constitute the • committee :
Messrs. flapper, Graham, Divins, Cald-
I well, Strang, Moore, Meads, Craig
and Wintley.
We would not have taken the trouble '
to be thus particular in giving the pro-
ceedings of the House in this case, but
for the purpose of showing how lightly
some men look at the truth when a
falsehood will answer their purposes
better. The truth is, the editors of the
Journal t' American have no love for
any man who has the independence to
treat with contempt the commands of
corrupt party leaders.
I•r wAs announced in the last Jour
nal & American that our townsman, A.
W. Benedict, Esq., had been tendered
a clerkship at Washington. Wo are
authorized to say that \lr. Benedict
has not been tendered a clerkship, and
would not consider a tender of that
kind any compliment.

THE EXPULSION or JESSE D. Bitxturr.
—We gave in our last issue the reso
lutions adopted in the Pa. House of
Representatives on this question, on
Monday night last. The following
statement we copy from the Harrisburg
Patriot Union : rr
"The House continued in session un
til twelvo o'clock. A resolution was
then passed (under the call of the pre
vious question) instructing our Sena
tors at Washington to vote for the ex
pulsion of Jesse D. Bright provided
"they should come to the conclusion
that the substance of the charges
against said Bright are correct." The
vote on the resolution was 84 ayes to 3
nays.
The original proposition, as passed
by the Pennsylvania Senate, was to re
quire the " immediate expulsion" of
Bright. The Democrats in the House
refused to vote for this, and, although
not defending the Indiana member,
(with one exception,) insisted that the
question of his guilt or innocence was
to be established by judicial proceedings
in Congress, and that it was improper
to instruct our National Senators to
vote for his expulsion until they were
satisfied of such guilt.
The Republicans held that the letter
was sufficient evidence of treasonable
intent, and on the first ballot voted to
sustain the original resolution. It was
apparent, however, that they would
be unable to obtain a two-thirds vote
to suspend the rules, and rather than
allow the session to close without any
expression of opinion they agreed with
two exceptions to pass the substitute
as offered by the Democrats. The ex
ceptions were Mr. Dennis, of Philadel
phia, and Mr. Shannon, of Allegheny.
The only Democratic vote recorded in
the negative was that of Mr. Ryon, of
Schuylkill, who filed his reasons, star
eng in effect that the question of the
expulsion of Jesse D. Bright was sole
ly for the judicial decision of Congress,
and that the Housct W:18 exercising an
II
I unconstitutional po et , in recommend
ing such expulsion.
i On Tuesday the . , enate took up the
1 House resolutions, and after some dis
-1 cussion, a vote was liken, and the
1 House resolutiints non-concurred in.
On Wednesday, the House, by a vote
of 41 to 40, insisted on its resolutions
and the appointment of a committee
of Conference.
Mr. Bright having been expelled on
yesterday, the Pennsylvania Resolu
tions of instructions will fall.

DE.ta GLOBE :—To break the monot
ony of my enjoyments, I will pen a
few items for that magniloquent mes
senger, the Globe, the editors of which,
through their untiring exertions, have
already sent it to the remotest parts of
the Union, and time alone will reveal
its farthest bounds.
This division' of the Grand Army of
the Potomac has, for some weeks, been
inactive. being entirely housed up by
th . at Old Dominion mud," a descrip
tion of which appeared in your col
umns some time ago. If a change has
taken place at all since then, it has un
doubtedly not been for the better, as
" Young America" dare not venture
out, fin• fear of being "swallowed up"
by a luxury not at all agreeable.
Our company being without a Cap-1
lain since the discharge of Capt. liar
risen, whose loss we all deeply regret,
au election for another was held on
the 17th ult., which resulted in the
election of J. E. Wolfe, formerly First I
Lieutenant of Co. D, sth Reg, P. R. C.
Our company, of course, was all ex
citement during the day, anxious to
kno•v who would be our future guide,
as James MciTherran, of Co. I , was
also a candidate for the office, and
pressing opposition seemed to be the
current of excitement, but when the
board announced that Wolfe was suc
cessful by a majority of 32 votes, the
woods rang with cheers for Wolfe,
whilst the opposite party sang dumb.
He has since taken command of our
company, and all are forced to ac
knowledge that we have a Captain, a
christian, a gentleman and a soldier
all combined, in the person of Jona
athan E. Wolfe. Long may he wave,
and peace to his ashes when he dies.
• Various opinions are entertained and
expressed relative to the termination
of the present rebellion. Many sup
pose it will end within bixty days,
whilst others concur with Mr. Stevens,
a member of Congress from Pa., who
said in one of his late speeches, "Tho'
we may drive the enemy from his
strong holds, he will retreat to his in
accessible mountains, and the impure
atmosphere of a Sduthern climate will
drive the Northern man from her soil,
and the rebels will repossess their rice
and cotton fields."
I hope, hoWever, this will not ho the
fact, but ere the fatal order will bc
given, that peace, oh! gentle peace!
will again alight on our borders and
calm the raging tempest that now
threatens the destruction of thousands,
who are as inflexible as the hills of the
North on their deep foundations, to
stand and strike till the last conflagra
tion of American freedom !
The health of our Regiment is good.
That of our company almost extraor
dinary, as none are on the sick list but
two in the hospital, who are nearly
well. The boys having cooled down
after a pay-day "roof," all remains
quiet. We are spoiling for recreation
of some character, and hope an oppor
tunity for the same will not long be
deferred.

The Canal Between Huntingdon and
Hollidaysburg,
We learn from the following letter
to Senator Hall by Mr. Wierman,
that the Canal between this place and
Hollidaysburg is to be put in complete
repair next season. We give Mr.
Wierman's letter:
CANAL DEPARTMENT, P.A. R. R. CO.
Ilarriaburg, Jan. 20, 1862.
.1
L. W. NALL, Esq.—Dear Sir: I an
swer your enquiries relative to the
repairs on the Upper Juniata, by say
ing, that we are now procuring mate
rials for a thorough repair of the Canal
from Huntingdon Dam to Hollidays
burg.
It is intended to deliver the mate
rials along the line next Spring, and
as soon as this is done, the water will
be drawn ow, in order to complete the
repairs if possible before winter. No
boating of any consequence can be
clone on thatportion of the canal next
season.
All new structures will be built in
view of an enlarged Canal. Any new
locks that may be built will have cham
bers seventeen feet wide, and the new
Aqueducts will be correspondingly en
larged. The shallow places in the Ca
nal will be bottomed out, which will
materially improve the navigation.
Respectfully yours.

A Chapter in the History of the New
Secretary of War,
We believe that the new Secretary
of War possesses a happy combination
of those personal qualities now more
than ever demanded for his position—
boldness, energy and in tegrity. Those
who have met hint at the bar, either
at Washington, in his own State, or
during his memorable years as govern
ment counsel in California, are well
aware of his vigor and ability in trying
a cause, his capacity fbr labor, and his
prompt and energetic manner of ad
dressing the Court upon every ques
tion as it arises. The circumstances
attending his entry upon his short pe
riod of service in the Cabinet of the
last administration are illustrative of
his character.
A year ago, when General Cass—
grieved and indignant—left Mr. Bu
chanan's Cabinet, Mr. Attorney Gen'l
Black was transferred to the portfolio
of State, and Mr.-Stanton, then'absent
from Washington, was fixed upon as
Attorney General. The same night he
arrived at a late hour, and learned
from his family of his appointment.—
Knowing the character of the bold,
bad men in the ascendancy iu the Cab
inet, he determined at once to decline;
but when, the next day, he announced
his resolution at the White House, the
entreaties of the distressed and helpless
President, and the arguments of Mr.
Black, prevailed upon him to accept.
At the first meeting of the Cabinet
which he attended, the condition of
the seceded States and the course to be
pursued with the garrison at Fort
Sumpter was discussed. Floyd and
Thompson dwelling upon the " irrita
tion of the southern heart," and the
folly of" continuing a useless garrison
to increase the irritation." No one
formally proposed any course of action,
but the designAof the conspirators
were plain to tnrAttorney General.—
Ile went home troubled. He had in
tended, coining at so late a clay, to re
main a quiet member of this discord
ant council. But it was not in his na
ture to sit quiet longer under such ut
terances.
The next meeting was a long and
stormy one, Mr. Holt, feebly seconded
by the President, urging the immediate
reinforcement of Sumpter, while
Thompson, Floyd and Thomas, con
tondod that a quasi-treaty had boon
made by the officers of the govern
ment with the leaders of the rebellion,
to offer no resistance to their violations
of law and seizure of government
property. Floyd especially blazed with
indignation at what he termed the
" violation of honor." At last Mr.
31101JN1'AINEElt
EltOM PHILADELPH IA
Thompson formally moved that an im
perative order be issued to Major An
derson to retire from Sumpter to Fort
Moultrie—abandoning Sumpter to the
enemy, a nd proceeding to a post•whero
he must at once surrender.
Stanton could sit still no longer, and,
rising, he said, with all the earnestness
that could be expressed in his bold and
resolute features, "Mr. President, it is
my duty as your legal adviser, to say
that you. have no right to give up the
property of the government or aban
don the soldiers of the United States
to its enemies; and the course propo
sed by the Secretary of the Interior, if
followed, is treason, and will involve
you and all concerned in treason."
Such language had never before been.
heard in Buchanan's Cabinet, and the
men who had so long ruled and bullied
the President were surprised and 61-
raged to be thus rebuked. Floyd and
Thompson sprang to their feet with
fierce, menacing gestures, seeming
about to assault Stanton. Mr. Molt took
a step forward to the side of the
At
torney General, The imbecile Presi
dent implored them piteously to take
their seats. After a few more bitter
words, the meeting broke up. That
was the last Cabinet meeting on that
excited question in which Floyd partici
pated. Before another was called, all
Washington was startled with a rumor
of those gigantic frauds which have
his name so famous. At first he
tried to brazen it out with his cus
tomary blustering manner; but the
next day the Cabinet waited long for
his appearance. At last he came; the
door opened, his resignation was
thrust in the room, and Floyd disap
peared from Washington. Such was
the end of Floyd and the beginning
of Stanton --Exchange.
Cost of the War.
To carry on the war for the preser
vation of the Union successfully, will
require a vast outlay of money, the
principal portion of which will have to
be raised by temporary or permanent
The redemption of the principal
of this loan will rest with posterity,
but the interest, which of course should
be paid promptly as it becomes due,
must be met now,—by the present gen
eration. Assuming that the expenses
of the war and government are $2,000,-
000 per day—the cost, per year, would
be $730,000,000, and presuming further
that it will require two whole years to
crush out the Rebellion, the total cost
in money, without including the loss
of life and destruction of property,
would amount to one thousand four
hundred and sixty millions, ($1,z100,-
000,000.)
The interest on this sum at six per
cen t,would be sB4,6oo,ooo—about equal
to the ordinary expenses of the Gov
ernment in times of peace. That is to
say: The people of the United States
in future years would be required to
raise for the expenses of the Govern
ment, and interest on the war debt,
(exclusive of principal) $100,200,000.
To cover this expenditure, and at the
same time pay at least a portion of the
principal, each year will require an
annual revenue far beyond that hereto
fore raised by' eans of duties upon
imports.
To meet this extraordinary demand
upon the public treasury, it is but fair
that those who have, without cause,
brought upon the country the disgrace
and cost of civil war, should be reqnir
ed to incur the main items of expense.
The confiscation of the real property
of the Rebels in active hostility to the
Union—who have rendered this extra
ordinary outlay necessary—would alone
pay much more than the entire cost of
the war—principal and interest., and
leave a large margin of surplus. If
strict and partial justice were done,
the loyal States would not be burden
ed with one cent of debt—but this we
fear. owing to a false generosity, will
not be demanded. Aside from the sac
rifice of life, the loyal people of the
country, will be called to bear at least
their full proportion of the cost .of the
war for the preservation of the Gov
ernment. The question then recurs
—" How should this money be raised ?"
Assuming that the country is able to
pay the ordinary expenses of Govern
ment by the ordinary sources of reve
nue—as it has heretofore done—it is
only needed to provide, temporarily,
for the extraordinary demands occa
sioned by the war. This extraordinary
expense, from the data above referred
to, supposing that the war should con
tinue two years, would make the war
debt at its close, amount to one billion
three hundred millions,--$1,300,000,-
000—To cancel this, say in twenty
years, would require an annual revenue
over and above what is ordinarily
raised, something like this:
Interest on War Debt, 875,000,000
Annual Sinking Fund, 75,000,000
Total, $150,000,000
—575,000,000 paid annually for
twenty years would amount to one bil
lion five hundred thousand dollars ($l,-
500,000,000.)—a large stun
000,000 than the entire war debt. As
the annual interest would diminish in
proportion as the principal was paid
off, considerably less than twenty years
would be required to pay off the whole
indebtedness.
Now if confiscation wore resorted to
at least one half the debt, to wit :—six
hundred and fifty millions, would be
cancelled at one fell swoop. But sup
pose that should not be done, a tax of
say 10 per cent on all U. S. offices, up
on luxuries, banks, brokers, trades,
professions, man uffictures, &c., with a
comparative small property and per
sonal tax, would make up the $150,000,-
000 per annum required, without any
one being oppressively burdened. nn
a word, the wealth and resources of the
United States, ever on the increase,
would be ample to secure the loan
holders, and he more than sufficient to
meet the demands of the treasury made
upon it, and would have the additional
advantage to make the people vigilant
as to the manner in which their public
money is expended, so that public rob
bery, which annually despoils us of mil
lions, would receive the punishment
which it so justly d.c.:,011705; and which
the good of the country requires should
be radeted out upon all offenders.—
