far It is said that there are schem es
cn foot to introduce large numbers' ol
•Tiogrocs into this Slate. Therit iS no
question that if the policy of l ‘ he ab
olitionists succeeds the North wine
flooded with negrOes, and Pcnusylva

less we adopt the f)lan of thO North
Western Stales and enact laws against
their emigration or importation with
in our borders.
Der A force of 4,000 men, in five
transports, and accompanied hy_two
gunboats, on Saturday night:a week,
wont from Pittsburg Landing up the
Tennessee River, to a point near East
port, and, marching inland; destroyed
two bridges on tho Mobilo and: Ohio
Railroad.. A small Confederate„fbi!ce
was found there. Four of their .nqm
bey were killed.
Gen. Haßeek has assumed'comniand
of the army in the field. The rebel
force has its headquarters near. Cor
inth. There is a ,space ef only two
miles between the• two armies, and
another battle is imminent.
Gen. Grant estimates our lass at
Pittsburg at . 1,500 killed and:3,500
wounded. .
Gon. Beauregard, on Tuesday sent
a flag of truce, requiesting permission
to bury.his dead. The request was
denied by Gen. Grant, for the reason
that our troops had already buried
the dead of both sides.
PZI - A batch of bogus 5 and 10 dol

upwards, of $lOO,OOO, in various stages
of Completion, was seized last week
at St. Louis.
1867 , In former times we were re
galed with the horrible tales of the
ignorance ih which the slaves wore
kept in the South now every negro
that escapes from ,the south is an -"in
telligent" contraband.
D s_ The Courier of last Week an
swers in the affirmative some of our
(juestions with explanations, reserva
tions, &e. We trust now that it may
in the future live up to its declara
tions. We want .no "backsliding,"
which, however, is more than can be
expected from it, deception being so
ingrained in the nature of its politics
that consistency is out of the ques.
lion. In fact s in the same page. that
its patriotic declarations are made,
abolitionism, of hideous aspect, is ap
parent. Abolitionism is disunionism,
and if the Courier is for the Union,
the Constitution and the laws, it must
drop abolitionism.
AS YOU LIKE IT
We have recently discovered in our
'Sunday Readings," that the tax-gath
crers of olden time were called Simply
Publical!s,'whereas the modern tax
gatherers are famitliary known as
Re-publicans. In justice however, to
the "colored population," we must add
that they still adhere to the Bible or
thography; and when you ask one of
them what party he belongs to, he is
certain to reply "De 'Publican party!"
Sambo is consistent.
Now, we desire to be liberal, but at
the same time we feel it our duty to
insist that a party •so magnificently
identified with high taxes and free
negioes, should, be known to the world
either as Publicans,or Abolitionists.—
Take your choice, gentlemen.

ington is that the Investigating Com
mittee of Congress have discovered
in one of the principal departments,
a difference in accounts, amounting
to several millions of dollars. Mil

THE BATTLE OF APACHE PASS
WASHINGTON, April 16.—Secretary
Stanton received, early this morning,
the following despatch, dated Kansas
City, the 14th :
The Fort Union mail brings con
firmation of the battle > of Apache
Pass.::, -:Our loss is one hundred and
.fifty, ; killed,. wounded-and missing.—
,The enemy acknowledge their loss to
be from-three hundred to four hund
red, killed and wounded. Ninety
three rebels were taken prisoners,
thirteen of whom were officers. Our
forces captured and burned sixty•four
wagons laden with provisions and am
munition, killing two hundred mules.
The Texans attacked our battery four
time, the last time coming within for
ty feet of our guns, but they were re
pulsed with heavy loss.
Colonel Slaugh is eneampectat Ber
nal Springs, fortT miles from •Port
Union. The Texans fell back to San
ta Fe. Col. Canby with one thousand
regulars and Kit Carson's regiment,
is reported to be within three days'
march of Col. Slocum. Colonel Slate
is reported, to be on the Jornado with
reinforcements for the enemy.
'WASHINGTON, April 16.--The report
taken .from. the pouth.ern papers, that
Col. Canby_ had surrendered Fort
Craig and his entire, force, is untrue.
Later advices from that vicinity have
been received, at the War Department
that Col. Canby has obtained a sue
c6Ss over the enemy, has been rein
.
fciyce ,!t9, is now. in pursuit of them.
STATE' Writuarris.—Mr. Pierce Butler
has commenced an action in the Supreme
'Court o'fPennsylvania against Mr. Simon
'Cameron; late Secretary of War, for tres
pass, assault and false imprisonment. Mr.
Butler has Contented himself with the or
dinary procsss of commencing an action
for damages, relying doubtless on the a
bundant responsibility of Mr. Cameron to
answer pecuniarily any damages which
may - be recoVered against him in the suit.
This Is the ., first of those actions in .the.,

and other members of the Cabinet, on be

prrsoners. It is difficult to perceive any
tenable grOund - nn which a defence can be
rested by` , Mr. Cameron, and he must there
fore be left to appeal to the mercy ot a ju
ry. If all the Fort. Lafayette and Fort
-Warren'o73.sonerd who have been dig
chark,ealhr want of probable cause, are.
intending to commence suits against the
Secretaries iiihOseleregrarihic - despatches,
subjected them to sudden and violent seiz- -
Ure, the courts will have work to do, and'
• the retiring Secretaries may count on a
Mite Of litigation. That heavy damages
will be imposed in some of these cases
there tan be no doubt at all.
A healthy tone of; public sentiment
has taken place of that -wild excitement
which a year ago justified every arrest,
and denounced all who opposed the prac
tice as traitors. We look now in vain
through the entire country for a politician,
a man of any sort, or a newspaper, which
'justifies, or defends those, arrests.. Those
who, most emphatically approved them,
now, , denounce them by all the names
which were once applied to the French
apd,the horrprs enacted there, and
~oar prophecy ihatno,American could be
found. who 3voutd not ,recall, them with
slime and : Rorkow, has already met a
spgedy. There is hope for,
the American nation yet. ,
Theadore-Fielingbuysen, who died at :
iiis iiiklence in Newark on Saturday a
*Eeli', Was ant' of the , most eminent citi
zens of NeW Tersek. He was born in
Somerset county, in that_state, 1787, and •
after practising in the bar for some- time
-he was' appointed 'Attorney -General. In,

has always taken an active interest in the

loss of a graceful scholor, high-toned pol

NEW BANK.—A new bank is to be or.
ganized at Titusville, Pa., called the Pe
troleunt Palik, under the free banking act
of March, I§6l. It is to have a capital of
$lOO,OOO, in shares'of $5O, with the priv
ilege of increasing the stock to $300,000.
S•roxe FonTs.—Tke,blopka.de of Sayan
nah is now complete,.aid we take it the
vessels which have done duty in that
neighborhood may seekemployment else
where. The fall of Pulaski places the
Union in undisputed possessiotrof the en
trances to Savannah, and for the future
we shall not , hear of vessels running . the
blockade into that river. The execution
done on the walls of the fort, by the guns
brought to bear, is another illustration of
the progress of improvenients in artillery.
Stone forts-and wooden ships have ceas
ed to rank high in the offensive and de
fensive means of_warfare. A few years
ago we built this fort, a strong and well
planned work of military , :art; now with
our improved artillery, finding it in the
hands of an enemy, we batter it down like
a child's toy-house.
HOW IT FEELS TO BE SHOT IN BATTLE.-
The sensation, says, Dr. Reily, of Illinois,,
who was wounded at Pittsburg, was pre
cisely> that of aR smart blow on the leg,—
There is nothing of a piercing, cutting or
tearing pain, the swift missile, taking.' the
nerves entirely by surprise, and deadening
the adjacent parts before sensation can
begin.
A WONDERFUL CASE OF LONGEVITY
-We saw to-day a case of longevity
entirely without a paralled in the
United States. At. Auste.n's Picture
Gallery we met Mr. Peter Rozelle,:of
this city, aged one hundred and nine
years sitting for his likeness. Mr.
Rozeile was born in the city ofßrook
lyn, on the 27 of April, 1753, and if
he lives to the 27th of this month, he
will reach,tbe extraordinary age of
one hundred axanine'years! -He is
still quite cheerful and hearty. Ow
ing to rheumatic complaints, he is a
ble to use his leirs but little; but he
sits up in his chir, converses readily
and retains his memory 'perfectly.—
He never wore spectacles, and is still
able to read a little without their use.
He has been the father of twe,irty-five
children. His seccind wifeis a pleas
ant and bale old lady of eightyyears.
