Discharged. —The four Smiths, arrested on 'suspicion of murder; hud a hearing before JTsquiro SuonslEr, on Thursday, and were discharged, no evidehcebeing pro lucod against them., A Foraging Party.—On Saturday last, a foraging party from Frederick; (belonging to Gen. Ban Kst Division), consisting of twen ty-seven four mule teams, arrived in Carlisle, tquch to the, surprise of our citizens. They were after forago-Mmy, corn and oats—which they succeeded in obtaining, and on Blonday started on their return trip.- It is strange, indeed, that they had to drive so far without being able to: procure the forage they want ed. ■' Joh-x D. Adair. —A)(o are rejoiced to learn that our young townsman,, Seargcant John D. Adair, late of Company A., 7th Eegiment, .(now quartered at Camp Pierpont,) has been promoted to a second Lieutenancy in Compa ny G. of the same Regiment. Young Adair was dm our employ as oiio of tho clerks in the Post-office for, some time, and wo know the good qualities of his head and heart, and feel gratified to. hear of his promotion, lie is one of tho best officers in the Volunteer lonks, and, we .doubt not, will wear his new honors With becoming' modesty and dignity. Shot. Dead by her Brother. —Wo learn from the Shippehsburg News, that on Tues day-weok last a young woman by the name of Pve, living, midway between Shippensburg and N.ewburg, was shot dead by her' brother, a lad pf some ton or twelve Years of ago. The boy took a gun which had boon standing in a lower room of his father’s house and was ooi> eoveying it up .stairs where ho observed his sister engaged in making a bod, and raising it up told'her he was “ going to shot her.” Pulling the trigger,of the gun it wont off the load lodging in the head of the- unfortunate girl and killing her instantly. The boy states , that he was unconoious of there being a load in the gun, and had no intention of committing the murderous act. It is a matter of considerable surprise to those not aware of the secret of mercantile operations, how it is possible for Evster & Pro’s, of Chambershurgi to disposeof such im mense quantities of goods ns they are now selling, and at such very low prices,; indeed, at prices much below wimt they could pur chase tlie same goods for in theEasleru cities. But the facts in the case make the matter very plain. They having anticipated a large advance in the price of all kind of goods made from cotton, and having ample means, made extraordinary largo purchases of calicoes, muslins, chintzes, tickings, and of everything else kept in a well regulated store. They are now selling tho-vory boat qualities of calicoes, such as sprngues, merrirnneks, eochoeoe, and American prints at 12J eta. per yard. Wo would call attention of our readers to their large advertisement; in the nest page. .

The doublo-shdct fashion-plates are a peeuli nr nnd excellent feature of this Magazine, while tlie patterns in each number are numer ous, and highly appreciated by the- ladies.

Subcribers must order the Book direct from the publisher, or buy it, as It compe out, of the Booksellts and Periodical dealers. LET SAMBO ALONE. Eon goodnes' sake let us lose sight, of the negro and strive to ameliorate tho condi tion of the white-man. Thu St. Louis Pc publican says, as it touches upon the aboli tion fallacies and.forcibly asks, “"Where ara those general uprisings of’the slaves, so con fidently prophesied in certain quarters, ns the inevitable result of civil war?. Where are those servile butcheries that heated imagina tions conjured up as the probable result of onr domestic conflict ? Whore is that univer sal unrest of the blacks, which was expected to deplete .the Southern States of the “braw ny sons of toil,” nnd lead them to a safe re fuge in the North ? There have been no in surrections, and there are likely to be none. May not, therefore, the Abolitionists, who have boon mistaken in this idea, be equally mistaken in niany other notions that they are so constautly nnd pertinaciously forcing upon tho public? The holiday season is over, when custom allows the slaves of tho South al most unrestricted liberty, and yet wo have hoard of no gigantic revolts, such as have been promised ns following-the occupation of the southern country by the Federal troops. Isn’t it a pitv to try to Wreck a country out of intended consideration -for a race Who can have no appreciation of such sacrifices for their benefits ?” d United Bretueren- Conference. —The.

By the arrival of the steamer Cifty of New York from Liverpool, wo learn that the news of the surrender of slason, and Sli dell bad reached England and caused the greatest satisfaction ; butsome.of tbejournals complain of the ungracious manner in which the AYnshington Cabinet proceeded. Others accord'due credit for the act and the graceful manner with which the settlement was con ducted. slr. Bussell in his letter to the Times predicted that our Government would refuse to surrender BlAsoNand Slidell. The pirate Sumpter had arrived at Cadiz with the officers and'crows of throe Federal merchant vessels, and solicited permission to enter the port. The American Consul protested against her being permitted to enter, but it was granted on condition that the prisoners should be placed under the protection of Spain. It .was rumored that the American Consul would leave on account of this proceeding., . o*We are informed by various members ol our Bar, who were present at the trial of Eckles vs. Eiierey, at our last court, that the report of the ease furnished us and published ■in-our paper last week, is very far from being a fair account of it. Wo are sorry fur this, ns wo are anxious ip publishing Court proceed ings to give the exact truth of the .ease ; and our apology is, that wo were not present at the trial. Wo are informed that tho truth of the matter is—instead of tho plaintiff, Mr. Ecki.es, “ gettingmorotlianhobargainodfor,” that ho made out his Case perfectly. The defendant, however, {Mr. EnEßLV,)'got iuto a very tight place with Lis evidence,, and was not prepared to meet the issue then for tho trial. All the evidence .that ho. offered was rejected by the court, as inadmissible. Mr. Eberpy’s counsel was then compelled to apply to tho court to change his pleadings, which resulted in tho change being allowed, a new plea entered, which changed the whole face of the case, and the cause continued, at the costs of the defendant, hobeing in fault of tho continuance. ■ Taxing Newspapers.— There appears tobo a strong feeling in Congress to tax newspa pers a quarter or a half a cent for each shoot they print. This would produce a largo in come to the Government, but tlie plan is an infamous one; and deserves; nnd wo-hope will receive the condemnation of every newspaper publisher in the country. There is no class of men who work so hard and ’ nro' paid so poorly as printers. As newspapers scarcely pay at the price they are now published, pro prietors would be obliged to add the tax to the price of subscription. Congressmen who make war upon the press nnd its patrons should bo careful or they may burn their fingers. And any member of Congress that votes for such a law will never receive our support for any office. The Sc a iu,et Fever. —Wo understand that this dangerous and contagious disease has prevailed to a considerable extent in Ciirrol and some of the adjoining townships in the upper end of York county, for the past fb v months. Some families have been made nl- T dgsolate by this terrible scourge. Mr. Levi Wadsworth, of Carrol township, lost four mtorestmgohildren in tbo course of a few weeks, whoso respective names and ages are ns follows : John, aged ton years; Jane, nine years; Samuel, seven years; Levi, five years ,lt is also said to prevail to an alarming cxl tent in the lower end-of Dauphin county, and the upper end of Lebanon county. More Frauds upon llie Government, Tho. Now' York correspondent of the Phil adelphia Ledger tolls the following story: ' “The private'revelations, (not for the,pub lic eye,,ns yet), which accompany the newspa por correspondence from the Burnside expe dition, I regret to say, arc of a character to make tho public-stare', and in some respects to throw tho disgraceful dovelopemonts of the Van -IVyck Committee quite into the shade. They who have listened to those revelations, and been made acquainted with tho worth less character of some of the vessels palmed off on tho Government, only wonder that the winds and the waves spared so many oftliem. There must have been crooked dealing too, in regard to tho Commissiarat, as well as to the vessels. In some vessels, when,medicines were wanted, they could nowhoro be.- found, and in others, the provisions arc said to have been wholly unlit for consumption—though large supplies of the former had been contrac ted for, to v bo put on board; while tho quality of tho latter was stipulated to bo A, No. I. General Burnside himself is said to have ex pressed himself in the strongest terms of in dignation, upon being informed of these im positions. - He also expressed some satisfac tion that the bills of certain contractors were still unpaid, as in that case the remedy was easy; Other allegations of a tike character are made, but as I have said, are not in a shape as' yet, to ho published'.' Congress, however, may ns well set about putting anoth er investigating committee in commission!’' There, is no form of treason - against the Government more richly deserving of ,the severest punishment than that which furnish es -insecure vessels , for the transportation of our troops and unhealthy food for their con sumption. Contractors engaged in this bus iness together with their adiors and-abottors, riehjyjcj^^^ as great a crime as tho man who sets lire to a house in which-persons are-sleeping for the purpose of obtaining tho insurance money.— The open and avowed traitor, is not nearly so great a criminal as the dishonest contractor, who from tho most; sordid motives foists upon the Government rotten hulks ', of vessels that, are liable to go to pieces in . the first storm with their freight of precious lives. The avowed traitor is at least manly in-his hostil ity; he meets us boldly in the face of day'; but the werk of the- sneaking wretoh who knowingly furnishes unsafe vessels or provis ions, tlmt ho may pocket a few more dollars of Government money, is performed as secret ly as the work of poison lurking in a cup of cold water, AA’ho was engaged in palming off these worthless vessels on tho Government ? Are they any part of tho purchases made by slr. Geo. D Bloroan, of New York, for’which,he received the munificent compensation'of §75,- 000 ? or did pur gorged plunderer give place to a host fen times more rapacious ? Is it certainly tho duty of Congress to disr cover the perpetrators .of these frauds, and prevent their repetition in tho future. Some small excuse may have existed for frauds and irregularities six monthff.ago when every de partment of tho Government was in compara tive confusion, but it is time those things were done awav with forever.— Patriot & Union. 1 Startling Picture of GoTernmental Cor ruption.. No lover of his country or frined of public virtue can run his eye over the revelations contained in the spOoeh of Mr. Dawes,- of Mass., in the House of ..Representatives bn Blonday last, tvithou-t fooling the in tensest in dignation and alarm. Hr. Dawes' deals with unembollishod facts, - reliably ascertained through a committee of Congress; but The flights, of tho boldest fancy are tamo beside, tho startling record of crime which ho : drags to the light- ' , The facts stated will arrest the attention of -the..most indifferent, while they- will fill' tho public-spirited and timely loyal citizen with tho dee'post apprehension. An army of trai tors, viler and more dangerous than all' tho legions in armed rebellion, are sucking tho heart’s blood'of the republic, and are secret ly but),surely and rapidly, devouring the sources of its strength, AYe publish ns much of tho speech, with the other 1 mgs' of Congress; as we,have room for' this week; but the record, even thus- abridged, stops short none, too soon not to-challengo ab solute incredulity. , Tho shameful revelation, however, cannot bo doubted; it is not the offspring of partisan malice; but owes its bo-, ing to men-who are in sympathy with, and supporters, of ,the present Administration. Mr. Dawes is a Republican member and the discoveries bo has made have'been extracted from unwilling witnesses, under the penalties of imprisonment and tho obligation of an oath. The very first War oontractinto which the Government entered was a swindle ; and whether it buys hoof, horses, arms,, or cloth ing for its soldiers, it allows every,.purchase'- to bo tolled by a land of harpies,as ravenous as the horse-looeh. No wonder Mr. Cameron, has resigned. Tho whole Administration, should follow his example, while every rob ber of the treasury should be seized and made to disgorge the proceeds of his knavery.— Kcw York Argus. ( - Bgy.Tiir, Democratic State Committee' of this State have resolved to hold a Convention on tho 4th of July next to nominate a straight Democratic Ticket. —Republican paper. Aye, and the Democratic masses have re solved tooloot a “straight Democratic ticket,*’ pure and unoontamlnated with Abolitionism, a s tho only hope of tho future’ existence and wollare of our now unhappy country.- No su gar-coating process under the cry of “ Union” can again induce Democrats to swallow any more doses of modern Republicanism; Their experience in the present Pennsylvania House of Representatives is sufficient. When they see every man, (with two honorable excep tions) elected as “Union Democrats,” voting for such avowed Abolitionists ns E. 11. Rauch, for Clerk, tho honest masses understand what those worthies mean by tho word “ Union.” It is but a new dodge to Abolitionizo demo crats for the benefit of such fishy individuals as never dare to trust their chances in a Demo cratic Convention. And this dodge cannot again docoivo tho people. —Luzerne Union. Ixvestigating Committee. —The Speaker of the House Ims appointed the following committee to investigate whether improper, means were used to- procure- the’ passage of the bill at the- last session of the Legislature fur the commutation of tonnage duties: Mr. Hopkins, of Washington ; Mr. Rvon, of Schuylkill; Mr. Strang, of Tioga; Mr. Alexander, of Indiana; Mr. Crane, of Wayne. Messrs. Hopkins and Eyon are Democrats Messrs. Strang and Alexander Republicans, and Mr. Crane a Union Democrat. O” There is not a word of troth in the report, said to have originated in Washington, last week, that Mr. Buchanan had'refused a a seat in Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet.

For ney, who cards nothing for office, exclaims in his agony at the prospect of the defeat of those who employ and pay him, “ God help us, if tho adherents of Breckinridge, the apo logists of Floyd and Thompson, should bo en abled, by moans of aparty organization, to ovet throw the confidence of the people in their public servants and their military chiefs.” ■The mercenary wretch who indited this slan derous ' imputation against tho party that warmed him into political life, and made him of sufficient consequence to.be worth-purchas ing by the Republicans, know that the men in and out of Congress who are doing the most to overthrow tho confidence of tho peo ple in their public servants and their military chiefs r, are not-of the Democratic party. The Administration has-been annoyed and em barrassed, but bv whom? Who plundered the Treasury ? Who furnish ed rotten provisions and defective, fire arms to the Government ? Who swindled it in horse contracts ? Who raised a clamor at tho removal of Fremont? What class of. men are now importuning and annoying tho Adminis tration about emancipation ? Who made an as sault upon Gen. McClellan, the other day in the llouseofßeprosentatives ? Who is thus en deavoring to, undermine publio servants and our military chiefs ? Not the Democratic par ty. It is,not the source from which all these annoying and distracting causes have proceed ed ;but they have thoir.origin in the party that arrogates to itself all the patriotism and honesty in the country. And yet, with a full knowledge of these facts, this poor tool For ney, who has thrown his talents- into the market, endeavors day after day to persuade his readers that the Democratic party is d isloyal and disorganizing, and that its purpose is to divide the peop!e-and ultimately to destroy the Government. ■This miserable party slang,has had its day; it meansr-r-arid the Democracy of Pennsylva nia, who cherish ah. abiding faith that the great constitutional principles for which they contend, are necessary to the, salvation of the Union, are not to be deterred from maintain ing their organization by anything that the grand pensioners of the the Republican party can say or write against them.—itdriot <b Union. ■ ; T.iie Indiana Democracy.

The resolutions set forth that'.the' restora tion of the Democratic party to power can alone preserve' the Union ; that, the Conven tion endorse the principles heretofore put forth by the National Convention of the par ty; that the present civil war has mainly re sulted from the: agitation of the slavery ques tion and the. consequent organization of a geographical-party in the North,. producing its counterparte %i the South of secession, disunion and armed resistance to the Govern ment ; condemning the course of the Republi cans in the last Congress' for the rejection.of all peace propositions ; that peace and harmo ny would now reign had the party in power shown the same desire to settle our internal disputes that it recently exhibited to avoid a war with England i that the Republicans have fully demonstrated their, inability to conduct the Government through the present dffieul ties ; denouncing all violations of the consti tution and usurpation of power, regarding the suspension .or the writ of habeas corpus and the imprisonment of citizens of loyal States as flagrant violations of •tho ConstUu lion f fhAt the lVrasbnbnd SUddll jpo or Ulpgal—if tho former, the na tion lias been humiliated by tbbir surrender —if the latter, they should have been delivered up before their imprisonment. , The resolutions compliment the ..merit and conduct of the Indiana troops on every battle field whore victory has perched oh the Natio nal banner and send greetings to every Demo crat for their future achievements in coming contests. .

' ■ The above’is one of tho results ;of inviting into our linos run away negroes, that they may. live in idleness, at the expense of the Government.

If the government can afford to keep these’ contrabands; what is to hinder them from keeping the white laboring poor of the North thrown out of employment. Certainly a white man is as good as a nigger, that is if lie behaves himself. , . The late War Department.. The Now York 2Vines says, in an articlo'on the removal of Cemeron ; , ' The.simple truth is, the War Department lias been, for the last two months, the most serious obstacle in the way of a rigorous pro secution of the war. Unless wo are entirely misinformed,Gen..McClellan has been thwart ed in every possible way, and deprived of the power to carry into effect tile hostile opera tions he had devised. He has had no cordial support from the War Department since the Department succeeded in its effort to brush Fremont. Whether this has boon directly. Mr. Cameron’sjfij.ult, or that of the hordo of greedy and unprincipled contractors by whom ho has been controlled and used, is of little consequence. The fact remains. Nothing whatever could be done which depended on the action of that Department, except through the corrupt and villainous swindlers who have tainted the whole air with'official eor-” ruptiou, and brought tho nation to the verge of bankruptcy and ruin. Wo are assured that for weeks General McClellan demanded a full supply of pontoon bridges, absolutely essential to his operations, but could not gel them; that 25,000 stand of arras, tho best in the world, wore kept in Now York for weeks, under his incessant and urgent re quisition for them, because Pennsylvania contractors had not yet been able to levy their exactions upon them. And these are but two of tho many instances that might be cit ed’to the same effect. A Generous Gift.—Wo see by an exchange, that the merchants of Chicago have presented to an editor of that city, a thousand dolllars’ worth of printing paper, ns a Now Year’s gift. Wo have a strong inclination to move to that country. Editors are evidently ap preciated there. Here, instead of receive mg presents, they make the public a pres ent of several thousand dollars’ worth of printed paper, every year; or, whitt amounts to the same thing, they send their papers to subscribers who promise to pay, but don't. LITE FROM EUROPE. THE STONE BLOCKADE CONDEMNED. New York, Jan. 31.—Tho Gunard steam ship Africa has arrived, with Liverpool pa pers to Saturday, tho 18th, and by telegraph, via Queenstown, to tho 19th.. , Tho Commissioners of Customs have re ceived orders to permit the exporntion of all articles of war inunjtions, against which the prohibition was recently issued. Jt is said that tho Liverpool Shipowner's Association, having memorized Earl Russell against tho blockade of Charleston harbor by the stone licet, Earl, Russel, in response, sta ted that he sent despatches to Lord Lyons in December, expressing the dissatisfaction of the British Government at such a proceeding. The London correspondent of the Manches ter Guardian says “it is no secret that the South has its active aiid intelligent agents in London, ns well ns,its ‘officiously' recognized envoys, and that they are straining every .nerve to force the Government into’ some ac tion or policy that will tend to alienate Eng land further from tho North, and bring her into closer relations with tho. South.” He says, in regard' to tho stone blockade of Charleston ; “It would not at all surprise me to hear that all tho groat powers had. united in a representation on this subject to tho U. S. Government, and that, too, going 1 beyond protest, and,amounting to prohibition. I be lieve the French Government is in communi cation with col’s on this subject, from which very grave, consequences may yet arise." Tho Morning Fust rejoices at the general oondemnation whioh the stone blockade was receiving,, and says: “Tho barbarities now practiced by tho U. S. Government are equally bracing tho enorgies l of the South, and rous ing the European government to a common sentiment of-indignation.

After their arrival, at Hatteraa a series of storms of .such.unparalleled severity set in’, that for two days in suocession.it was' impossible for any two vessels to .communicate with eaeli other. Much difficulty was oxpdrionoed'' in • getting the vessels oyer the bars. The propeller City of Now-York struck on thq outside of tho bar. ami was a total loss; The captain and crow wore saved.

BURNSIDE’S OFFICIAL RE PC Iff Washington - , Tuesday, Jan. 28, 1802. , A special messenger with dispatches from Gen. Burnside reached Washington • this morning. They are dated ‘‘Headquarters Department ol North Carolina, Hattyras In let, Jan. 20th 1802.” The messenger loft Hatteras of Sunday.— Gen. Burnside states; •’ We left our anchor age at Annapolis on Thursday, tho oth, and : after a protracted passage, owing to. dense fogs, arrived at Fortress Monroe Friday night at 12 o’clock. Leaving Fortress Monroe’on Saturday, at 10 o’clock in the morning, we proceeded at once’to sea; hut owing to fogs on Sunday night our progress was very slow. On Monday, the l3th, the weather cleared with a heavy wind ami a rough sea, which caused our vessels to labor very heavily, and some wore obliged to cut loose from the vessels they wore-towing. Most of them, however, passed over the bar, and anchored inside the harbor about 12 o’clock, noon, on the loth, just in time to escape the severe gale of Mon day night and Tuesday. The propeller City of New-Ynrk r’an on tho bar at the entrance to tho harbor, and, owing to tiio severe weather and want of small boats, wb could render no assistance. She was la den with stores, and was lost. The General also says ho had been led to believe that he would find experienced pilots at Hatteras, but bad-great difficulty in accom plishing his wish for want of proper accom modations. . lie adds that ho would commence that day to build a wharf for landing supplies. . The men wore cheerful and patient, and he would proceed with confidence. An accident occurred in an effort to relieve the steamer Now-York, by which a boat was swamped, and the lives of 001. Allen, of the 9th. New Jersey, his surgeon, and a mate of the boat, were lost. , ■ After the arrival of the expedition at Ilat teras the enemy made their appearance in one or two vessels on a reconnoitering expe dition. Our boats gave chase and drove them back. The transports and vessels grounded will bo got off by the aid of tug-boats. Only one, the Now-York, was lost,' and no lives—the throe above referred to excepted. LATER FROM THE EXPEDITION, The nows from the Burnside Expedition, wears a more cheerful aspect than that pre viously received. At last accounts seventeen of the naval vessels wore in Pamlico Sound, and active preparations wore going on to strike an effective blow At the rebels. Gen eral Burnside was busy arranging his troops to act in concert with the naval portion of the expedition, and Commodore Galdsbarough, in his official despatch to the Navy Department, says that things look more hopeful,-and he expresses the wish that ho may soon encoun ter and vanquish the rebels. It is expected that the first place attacked will ho Roanoke Island, where the rebels have two batteries and about three thousand troops.

I.—The American’s cor respondent at Fortress Monroe says, that Thursday was bright and beautiful day at- Old 1 Point, but yesterday. was cloudy and threatening. When the steamer Erricsson, left Hatteras the-weather was too rough to land the troops, and being unable to cross the bar, Gen’. Burn side ordered', her return to Fortress Monroe! She laid off Ilastteras till Sunday last, and consequently brings no late news. She was blown Out to sen, and hence her long passage. The troops are hi.good health. , .Most of the vessels had started from the month of tho Inlet towards Roanoke; Island, which, it was understood would be the first point attacked.. Mr. Taylor, of Cincinnati, who has been a prisoner at Richmond since the Bull Run battle, was released yesterday,'and came . by a flag of truce via Norfolk. '.
