Pardoneo.— lsaac Fishel, confined et the Carlisle barracks, and under sentence to ho shot for desertion and piloting the reb els in their last raid into this State, .was par: doned by the President on the 10th Inst.— The pardon was obtained through the oxei lions of gentlemen of York county, who pro cured evidence of the man's insanity, with’ which they proceeded to Washington, and, through the assistance of lion. Joseph Gai ly, induced the President to grant an uncon ditional pardon. The President's pardon was written on the back of the petetion ask ing (or it, in these wotds: < " Isaac Fishel, named within, is hereby pardoned. A. Lincoln. "March 10, 1864.” The (Alter at the .Carlisle barracks recoil ed the pardon, on yesterday, and at once re leased Fisiiel, who immediately started for home. He is a simpleton, and by no moans responsible. ■ Pardoned. — B o learn that G l *v. Curtin bus pardoned Charley Moore, of our town., who was found guilty at the April court, 1802, of having committed a most villainous outrage upon an estimable lady. Ho was sentenced by Judge OraMasi tu fifteen years in the Penitentiary. By bis pardon he escapes oyer thirteen years of the punishment to which he had been sentenced. The Aoe.—We publish, in another column the prospectus of the Philadelphia Age for 1804. The Age lias been in existence about one year, during which time, wo are happy to learn, it has met with success beyond the most sanguine anticipations ot its friends. It is the only Democratic daily published in Philadelphia,and is conducted on the most Enlarged and liberal principles. It is in eve ry respect a first class daily newspaper. It gives tbe latest and most reliable news of the day, both domestic and foreign, together with such a variety of s did and subtantial reading matter as to to ale c it useful to the farmer, mechanic, merchant and professional man as well as a welcome Visitor to the family cir cle. In its politics it is thoroughly Demo cratio and advocates with marketability those great and fundamental political thruths which undolio our republican form of government. It is worthy the support of every true Dena crat in the State, and we trust it may contin ue to receive that patronage from the party which its merits deserve. SoLDiEU’s Onm.iNs. —The Managers Of the Philadelphia Northern Homo have re cently added an infirmary to the main-buil ding, capable of furnishing accommodations fur one hundred a td twenty-five children. A. large building is in course of erection, to receive tbs unprotected children of the dead Pennsylvania soldiers. Thesoor[ linhs should be bountifully cared for. ' A committee of three of the Directors of the Northern Home Visited Harrisburg a few daya ago to confer With Governor Curtin relative to the care necessary to bo taken of the orphan children of soldiers. Death of Coe. Stamuaucii. —Col. Samuel C. Stambnugb, well known in the political world as a Democratic editor and active poll-, licinn, died at liii* residence, near Lancaster, on Friday last. Col. Sttunbaugh was for many years connected with the Democratic press in Pennsylvania, subsequently filled the appointment .of Indian Agent, by Gen. Jackson, and was Surveyor of Utah undei Mr. Buchanan's Administration. Ho was highly esteemed for his social qualities, and hut for his'CxtrcnVe generosity,which prompt ed him to relieve distress wherever he found it, he might have amassed d large fortune and died a wealthy man. Aa it was, we sus pect he left this world possessed of Httlfc of its goods. Peace to his ashes. The United States and France. —It.is 'beginning to be pretty generally believed in veil-informed circles that there is trouble brewing between the United States and ■Whiter. The eon of Minister Dayton arrived in Waf-bingttm on 'Wednesday evening from Paris, bringing dispatches from his father, | Which are said to be of n very important character, warning the government to pre pare for the recognition of the Southern Confederacy hy Napoleon,'and other meas ures of an unfriendly if Dot threatening «h RMeter. HOW LONG CAN P WB STAND IT? . The reckless manner in which .Congress appropriates the money of tho people is posi tively alarming and well calculated to make tho most careless man reflect and sigh for our country’s future, - Tf this 'recklessness and-scoundrelfcrn is to -persisted in—if rhillions of dollars arc to be voted away daily, to carry Out the projects of such fanatical weather-cocks aa Sumner, Wil- ■son, Jim Lane and Stevens, the day Is not far distant when a crash will take place such aa haa never been witnessed. It will be be- yond the power of tho country to endure this recklessness much longer. say, if this wanton extravagance and robbery is not at once arrested, tho wholo people and the whole country will bo ongulphed in a common ruin before tho end v Lincoln’s Administration 1 Let us look at tho facta as they appear upon tho record., Tho Secretary of "War in his estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1864, (see Treasury Report, page 30.) naked for and had appropriated $885,479,511 1 This was a monster appropriation, and even Republican members of Congress shuddered as they voted for it. ■ But this appropriation, largo and extravagant as it wasi was not all that tho Administration haa asked for. A ao-callcd “ Deficiency Bill” is now .before Congress, (and will puss) which appropriates ’millions of dollars in aid of all sorts of ob jects. Indeed, the.'Abolition members ap pear to tax their wits to discover excuses | for the depletion of tho Treasury. By add ling tho ' appropriations made by this Defi ciency Bill to tho amount already voted, there will have been- appropriated for the War Department of this Government alone, for the fiscal year ending 30lh Juno, 1804, the.gigantic sum of 51,103.979,5111 Of this sum 525,000,000 is asked fur to pay off the charges of various railroad and steamboat companies for transportation of troops last year, when the soldiers were sent borne to influence and carry elections. These trnops —picked Abolition troops—were carried to to vote at the expense of the Govern- ment! Thus we have tho fact brought to light that there has been transportation of tho army solely to execute tho political pur poses of the ■wretched party in power, and now the people, whose rights have been in vaded avd outraged, arc required to foot the hills'. If we could have 11 e, history of the transportation of «tho Army, we would find that a largo number of troops selected for being favorable to tho Administration party, were sent last October and November to York, Pennsylvania, or to tho western States, and afterwards to.Marylund and Delaware to carry the elections there. There is where tho deficiency of $25,000,000 reported by the Committee of Ways and Means is mainly duo. It is due to tho efforts of tho War De partment to carry tho elections of tho coun try; There is where the money has gone.— It is not for the legitimate expenditures of this war ; it is not for the capture, overthrow and destruction of the rebel army, and it is not to plant the stars and stripes upon the tapitol hill of Richniond, or on the forts ol Mobile and Charleston; but it is to subdue the Democracy, tho conservative power of New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York' New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and of tho great West; in short, to overawe by arms before tho ballot-boxes (ho people of the country. Another small sum is asked for, viz— “ $33,000 for medicine and medical attend iinco for negro refugees, commonly called contrabands.” When this item was read be fore the House,. Mr. llulua.v, of Illinois, moved to amend bv adding the following words; “ who arc or shall be in tho employ ment of tho Government.” Cut this was not relished by tho Abolition majority, and Toad Stevens, olir Buck-shot war hero, immedi ately responded—“l think tho hill is well enough as it is. I kunw the ’gentleman from Illinois wnnts.to help it (laughter) but I think we will lot it Stand.” The proposed amend ment was lost. An effort was then made to extend the same charity to “destitute white .Union refugees,” thousands of whom, it was shown. Were suffering tor want of medicines and medical attendance. This proposition I also failed, the Abolitionists voting it down. U therefore appears that wo are to be taxed yearly for the support of the “ pet lambs,” as Forney calls the slaves of the South. The amount now paid by the Government for the support of emancipated slaves, is estimated at three millions of dollars a year. Whai will it be when wo have all the slaves of the South .on our hands 7 It is a (act that these American citizens of African scent, are stum bling blocks to the army movements. We have positive information of one case in par ticular, where the soldiers on the field-of Chattanooga were put, for ton days before the battle,'not on half rations, but on less than half rations, in order to support n lot of lazy vagabond negroes, who bad escaped from the farms of the country and como into the lines of the Federal army. What then is to be the end of this reckless extravagance ? Inevitable ruin. And yet in the face of these foots, the office-holders, sheddyits and “ loyal thieves” are appealing to the people tofe-eleot to the Presidency the man Who is tho main instrument in forcing this ruin upon us. What consummate im puiencc. There is but one hope for the country, and that is that the Jacobins who are now destroying it day bo hurled from power next November. So mote it be. Free Bi.acks in 1855.—The New York Tribune, Sept. 22. 1855, held the following opinion of free blacks-; “ Five-tenths, of the free blacks havo-no idea of settihg themselves to work except as the hirelings or servitnht rtf while men ; no idea of building a church or Other serious enterprises, except through beggary of the whitep. As a class, the blacks are indolent, improvident, servile, and licentious, and Gerritt Smith in a letter to Governor Hunt, C'riiplained that * (he most of them preferred to rot both physically and mbrally in cities, rather than become farmers or mechanics in the country.’ ” . ' Every word of which is as trite to-day as il was in 1855. but the present policy of Mr. Greeley' being to convert four millions ol [slaves into this worthless class of free he groeo, it don’t suit him to snv so. t£7" Jonathan Bonder.

A LOYAL LEAGUE ORATOR* Oho' 'of the emissaries in the employ of tho Loyal Leaguers to travel the countryand. make speeches id .’behalf of AnuXifAM Lin coMr'and his infamous theiving administra tion, is a rebel Major General, named GaN,tt. This scoundrel had been in the rebel army for two years before he was taken prisoner by the TJnion, troops, and was known as a cold-blooded, unfeeling brutish man. After Ms capture by our forces, he affected a change of views as to tho rebellion, took the oath of allegiance, and afc once became a violent Ab olitionist and a warm supporter of tho .ad ministration and tho “loyal thieves.” lie Mark what we has scores of slaves at home at work, on his plantatiori, but yet ho now hurls his anathe- mas at al’feycholdcrs, and denounces them in language that Sumner would blush to use. All the outrages committed by Lingoes ad ministration receive his hearty approval, so he says, and to hear his philippics against his late comrades in arms, any one would be led to believe that he was ready and willing to cat a live rebel without pepper or salt. This rebel Major General Gantt, wo say, js now and has been for some months, in tho employ of tho administration in making Ab olition stump speeches. A few weeks since the use of tho Hall of the House of Repro sentatlved at Harrisburg, was voted to him, that he might deUvorcne of his characteris tic harangues. Of course,- ho denounced the Democrats of this State as “ copperheads” and “traitors,’! eulogised Ade I. to the skies, and oven pronounced him “an honesfman!” Judge Woodward was a terrible traitor, in tho opinion of tho rebel Major General, and hia “ defeat was a great disappointed to Jeff Davis,” Truly his speech was an unadulterated wooly-head production, and gave great satisfaction to the “loyal” con spirators who had invited this rebel chief to tho capitol of Pennsylvania. Now, wo are convinced as wo are living, tat this man Gantt is a spy in our midst. lie permitted his arrest by onr troops pur* posely, that ho might engratiatft himself with administration circles and find-out Govern ment secrets. 110 is a man of considerable ability, glib with the tongue, and since his arrest intensely “ loyal," according to the Abolition standard of loyalty.- Shortly pre vious to his arrest, ho had made a speech to •. a largo mooting of rebels down South, in which.ho spoke the most'blood-thirsty senti ments. Ilia speech was published in the Richmond Ihquirer t and commended very highly. In it ho appealed to all men, with-1 out respect to age, to enlist under the banner of “President ©avis." From that speech we take the following sentence: “ I can tell you how wc did a whining Union. Yankee out in Arkansas a few days ago. 110 got to making too free use of incen diary language. Our boys took him in hand. They carried him where a convenient,and friendly limb protruded from the body of a sturdy oak. They fastened one end of the rope to the limb, and the other around his neck and elevated him." Such were the words used by this rebel Major General, shortly before he left the land of rohcldom. And this is the scoundrel who is now making Abolition speeches at the ex pense of the Government. This man, whoso hands are red with the blood of Union sol diers, is the wretch who is employed by the Abolitionists to travel over the North to teach he people “ loyalty." Had our troops after s arrest, "carried him where a convenient and friendly limb protruded from the body of a sturdy oak, and fastened one end of the rope to a limb and the other around his neck and elevated him,” they would have served him right, and in the same way that ho had served the unfortunate " Union Yankee out in Arkansas.” But, no—he pretended to re pent of his sine, and affected to be converted to Abolition principles, and at once he ob tains the confidence of stay-at-home Loyal Leaguers, who adopt him ns one of their speakers and advocates of their hell-born principles. They honor him by giving him the Hall of the House, in which to do his spouting,and cheer him when ho stigmatizes over one half the people of this State t as ‘•traitors.’' Wo repeat, this blood-stained rebel Gantt. is a spy in our camp, and it Would be well if some Union man would drive a bullet through his head before ho escapes to the rebel army to assume his old com mand. An Aur.E Speech. —The speech delivered in tljo Hpuse of Ilepresentativea, at Harris burg, on the 3d inst. by. Hon. B. P. Meters, of Bedford, wo have read with’ infinite pleas ure. It was on the bill to provide compen sation for losses sustained from rebel raids, &e. The Abolition majority had attempted to attach an amendment to the bill which in effect excluded Democrats from ite benefits. The amendment provided that “ disloyal”, persons should receive no compensation fur losses, and an Abolition commission was to decidewhatconstituted“loyalty.” Ofootirse (io man was to be considered •* loyal” who refused to swear allegiance to Abraham I. and his treasonable. Amnesty Proclamation, and approve of the doings of the traitors and Uveyev who now wield power in our State and nation. This was to bo the test, and it was in opposition to this impudent arid infa mous proposition that Mr. Meters spoke.— And most effectually.did ho answer the Abo lition conspirators, and expose their sinister and contemptible designs. Indeed, notwith standing his speech was characterized by lof ty patriotism and gentlemanly language, he literally skinned the supporters of the amend ment alive, arid proved, by ineontrovertable facts, that the only “disloyal” men. known in this State were the.adherents of the ad- iiiimetfhtiotf. No'wonder the Jacobin ma- jority squirmed and wiggled under his scath ing denunciations. They felt their guilt and cowed like spaniels when the mirror idflect ing their treason and their villainies was held up to their view. k Bciyurd cou.nty may well be.proud of her able, honest and incomtptiblo representative. Would to God we had more- men like him— men Uf nCrvo and ability—in public positions, so that the interests of the people might be protected and the schemes .of political gam- blers exposed. This is Mr, Mevers’ -first session, but ho has already established his character as a deep thinker and able speaker. Ho is the editor of that sterling Democratic paper, the Bedford Gazette, and when ho returns home he will resume the editorial chair and'comb the wool of the wooly-beads;. THE LITTLE HELPERS.

There arc' people who prefer Winter to her gentle sister, and who grow enthusiastic over her many rough inhospitable points. They say the air in Winter is So bracing, the beau tiful white snow is so pure an i delicate, the icicles so glittering and fantastic, nnd every thing else so invigorating and inspiring. Wo are not one of these- To he sure wo seldom grumble as regard 10 the advent of winter, but it is simply because said grumbling would do no good. If we could Imvothings in our own way, Winter, with her bracing air, etc., would be banished to Sibera in the twink ling of an eye. The Winter that has just ta ken her departure, was not what could be called a severe one—although characterized by brief periods of frightful weather. Pleasant anticipations of approaching beau ties, are already beginning to thrill us. We are longing for the coming of the sweet birds of blossoming ; .trocs, cf verdant fields, of warm April showers, to. he followed by gulden sun- light, beautifying everything in nature, of sweet wild flowers, scrambling over tiny meadow knolls, or modestly biding their charming beauties within the quiet ravines of the forest, and of delightful pic-nios in the grand old woods. Yes, tis pleasant to think of these things—almost as pleasant as to re alize them —and they arc enjoyed with pecu lirr re'ish, following so elute upon the grim experiences of winter. The Spotted Fever.— This unusual and generally fatal disease, of which thousands have suddenly died in Philadelphia during the winter months, is beginning to make its appearance in the country. Several cases .have recently ocrured in Douglass and Here ford tiwnships, Berks eorinty, thyoo of which have proved fatal.. The Pmtfltown Ledger slates that Ephraim Wise and one of his children, and a child of- Hiram biepelf, have died of it.

Senate Organized. —On Wcdnosdayof last week the Republican Senators receded from their revolutionary and usurping- course, and in less than five minutes after, the Senate was organized and ready for the speedy trans action of business. There is no reason in (ho world why this should not have been done at an earlier day. The Democrats proposed at the beginning of the session to organize at once on a fair basis, hut the fear of loosing n few petty offices caused their refusal. When St. Clair was elected, they preceded to elect all hut speaker nnd tried to force the new doctrine that a speaker elected last year, was speaker for this year nlso. The Democrats determined to maintain the right of each pot ion to elect its own speaker and refused t" recognize their now princ pic*. ITho abolitionists. being conscious of their own error, have finally yielded the whole princi ple for which the democratic Senators con tended.and the Senate is now doing business. ; The ‘responsibility now rests upon them by i their own action, and the country should hold them responsible, March 4, 1864, Lincoln on Cutting Throats. —The follow g remarkable speech was made in Congress by V member of the House from Missouri last weeK and will bo found in the papers of Sat urday the sth instant; Mr. Boyd, of Missouri, replied to the re marks heretofore delivered by his colleague.

As I endeavored to loose it from his grasp, ho opened his languid eyes and implored me, by all that was good and pure, by the memory of my own mother, not to rol> him of his sister's picture. “Oh !” said he, “it was her last gift. I promised her, when she kissed ihy cheek at parting, that I would always wear it near my heart, in life or . death.” Then as if throwing his whole soul into the plea, ho exclaimed Touch Not My Sister’s Picture.” As last words faltered upon his tongue, his voice hushed in death.

The whole thing is a miserable force. It is the way this administration insures Republican Gov ernment.

A New Orleans pa per sa'ys her funeral wasths largest ever seen in that city, being attended by over 0,000 people'. The report of Gen.
