The Lewistown Democrat of last week has an article under its editorial head stating that Mr. Lincoln had expres sed " the most intense regret that he did not urge theadoption of the Crittenden com promise resolutions by his friends in Con gress." There is probably about a.- much j truth in this story as in the thousand and j one lies got up and published by such pa- j pcrs as the Buffalo Courier. Mr. Lincoln's words, speeches, and thesnpport given him by the masses of the people, all give the lie to this canard, and we believe at this day, if the Crittenden resolutions were proper ly understood, they would not command one vote out of ten outside of the slave states. The single fact that they would i have entailed slavery forever on all south- j em territory now in our possession, or here- j after to be acquired, would consign them | to oblivion at once. A Democratic Splinter- Democracy is generally preached up as Leing the same everywhere. From a num ber of choice articles in the last Sclins- I grove Times, the organ of '• democracy" in , Snyder county, we select the following for '' (he benefit of workingmen generally, who can thus see the company they are in : The Baltimore Workingmen Appeal to the President. The workmen of Baltimore have sent a del egation to President Lincoln to appeal to him to give them work to keep them from freezing and from starving the coming winter. The President—that is old Abe Lincoln—made them an encouraging reply, and told them they should have a fair participation in the Government spoils. Old Abe wa* elaborate in his good wishes and promises. This was very dignified, and vindicated the honor of a great republic! But last spring when the Commissioners from Seven States came to ne gotiate with him, he deemed himself entirely too big a gun to deal with so small an affair. It did not have enough of the mob charac'er about it. But let a Fire company, the hack driver* and scullions of Baltimore, or any similar delegation, especially if it is compo Bed of Dutch or Irish ; come to old dady Lin coin and his bosom swells with benevolence; and if he cannot give them an immediate bite, he is sure to promise them some of the crumbs. W hat do the democratic " Dutch and Irish here think of their democratic bro- I ther beyond Black Oak Ridge ? Ish alles i recht ? 1 lie 11 votes cast in the Simpson Guards ' fur Mr. Slenker for Judge, in consequence of j some informalities, were rejected by the Re turn Judges, of Snyder county. Add them, and Mr. Woods's majority is reduced to 18. j The Lewistown Democrat appends the above to the official return for President Judge, of course with a view of lessening Mr. M oods' majority. Now we have in formation from an authentic source that no such return was certified to the judges, and consequently they did not reject it. There was a paper professing to be such a return —tut bearing the impress of fraud upon its face —which was hawked about iu Snyder county for several days, and finally handed (not sent by mail) to the Prothono tary in an unsealed or broken envelop, with names erased ou a professed tally list, and others substituted, not even agreeing with the votes reported to have been cast. "Some informality," truly! Fact—That the greatest faultfinders with Mr. Lincoln's administration are certain pat ent democrats and the abolitionists! These two classes of disturbers have always mana ged to make extremes meet since " Polk, Dal las and the tariff of '42" was their theme. The ex Breckinridge editors in Clinton, Lycoming and Northumberland counties, are distressing themselves about the President Judge of the Union district. The result has distressed a good many in the district as well these outsiders. .4 Patriotic Lady—' The Union Guards, Capt. Diller, of Hanover, York county, now stationed at Camp Curtin, were recently made the recipients of fifty gum blankets, the gilt of a patriotic lady—an old acquaintance of ours—named Miss Rebecca Billmyer. of Hanover, fhis is oertainly a highly patriot ic and generous gift, and the " boys" doubt less appreciate her generosity to the fullest extent. The Fruits of Secession. We extract the following item from a let ter to the Boston Journal from a correspon dent at Harper's Ferry : WHAT THE REBELS ARB DOING. A gentleman direct from Harper's Ferry, who knows a good deal of what is going on in Dixie, says that parties of rebels have visi ted the dwelling houses in the region near Charlestown, and have seized all of the cook ing stoves for the use of the army at Manas sas. No matter how great the remonstrance nr how urgent the needs of the people, they have turned a deaf ear to all. Union men, of course, have l>een the greatest sufferers. No one can conceive of the suffering and distress in that region. The people have no coffee, tea. sugar—no luxuries of any kind, and are almost destitute of the necessaries of life.— And now, at the very beginning of winter, they are despoiled of their stoves. The reb els have torn down aii the copper gutters from the houses, have dug up miles of lead pipe, and are now seizing all the tin conduc tors—probably to 1.3 used as stove fuunels. They have seized all the bed blankets of Un ion families, also quilts and comforters. Ihe once smiling, peaceful valley of the Shenan doah is a desolation. The spoiling has not been done by the Federal troops, hut by the rebels. These are plain facts, unadorned and unembellished. As the Journal readers, by their pleasant firesides, picture to them ! selves the contrast between their own happy condition and that of the distressed people i in the Old Dominion, they will in some sense be able to understand the terrible wickedness I of this rebellion, which in its very essence is ' destructive of every element of peace, pros | perity and happiness. DESOLATION IN MISSOURI. 1 The Springfield correspondent of the St. Louis News writes: " From our last night's camping place (near Little York) we discerned seven fires—all —all around us. The nearest was a farm, where outbuildings, grain stacks, and the houses were al! fired at the satne time.— 1 Friend and foe were treated alike; farm hous i es, corn fields, fences, in short everything that 1 might be of least use to the Union armv—to the army whom they have always ridiculed publicly and feared secretly—is destroyed, and a desert thirty miles wide is separating us from the retreating foe. Where the hand of industry had commenced to make the place its mark of civilization, now only proofs of diabolical barbarity are visible." The Southern Confederacy, a Georgia pa per, in noticing the doings of speculators and aivocating the assumption of " military rule" over their products, says: Before this war commenced bacon could be bought for 10 and 12$e per pound. It is uow selling at dOc. Nothing has transpired to increase the cost of making it, and its trans portation costs no more. And our Govern ment should have it to feed the soldiers ; and their poor families at home should have it at a more reasonable rate; and those engaged in the sale of it should have that much ]>a I riot in m in them. If they have it not, the law should furnish them w'ith it. Country jeans could be had fur 50c per yard before the war; now it is from $1.25 to j 1.50. The labor of making it, and the ma- i tenai out of which it is made, costs no more ■ now than then ; and ;he soldier should have it to clothe him while he tights fur us, at more reasonable rates. Patriotism demands this much at the hands of those who deal in such articles. It may be difficult to Lame a law to meet the exigencies of this case : but the necessity is great, and we are in favor of the ; Legislature making the attempt. Coffee is selling at 50 to GOc per pound: but 1 we say let it sell for whatever people are wil ling to give for it. It in not an article of prime necessity. It is a luxury; and let th.se who indulge in it get it as cheap they can. Fine dress goods are luxuries, nut ne cessities ; let those who wear them pay what dealers see fit to ask. The Slidell and Mason Arrest—Mr Ev erett's View of the Seizure. Mr. E verett delivered his address on the "State of the country" before the Middle sex Mechanics' Association, at Lowell, on Tuesday evening. According to the Jour nal and Courier of that city— Mr. Everett began by remarking that he had been requested to say a word or two upon an event that reached us within a day or two, the capture of Messrs. Mason and Slidell.— Some have apprehended that this act, howev er desirable in some respects, may yet be con sidered by the British Government as unau thorized by the law of nations, and therefore likely to bring us into unpleasat relations with that power. This apprehension is entire ly groundless. There is no right better re cognized by the law of nations than that of the armed vessel of a belligerent power to detain a neutral vessel on the high seas, to ascertain whether on board of that neutral vessel there is any thing contraband of war. It is expressly laid down by all the text wri ters on the law of nations that among the things which are forbidden to bo carried by a neutral vessel are ambassadors of either bel ligerent power. There have been many cases iD which this prin' ipie has been laid down and enforced in the English Conns of Admiralty In the yi-ar 1808 an American vessel called the Car clina, on her way from New York to Borde aux, in France, was captured by a British cruiser, carried into England, tried and con demned before isir W iiliaoi Scott, afterward Lord Stowed, the highest authority on an}* queni n t the iaw of nations that cau be found in Great Britain—condemned because it carried despatches from the Government of one of the French colonies. In giving his oj in ion on the condemnation of this vessel, Sir William Scott expressly said that the bel ligerent cruiser was authorized in stopping the ambassador of the enemy on the way to his destination. You are, many of you, familiar with the ease of Mr, Henry Laurens, who was at oae time I resident of the Continental Congress, in the Revolutionary war, who was on bis way from Martinique to Holland, on board of a Dutch vessel, at that time a neutral power. . v f ssel w * B captured by a British frigate, carried in to St. Johns, Newfoundland, he was transferred to another vessel and sent to England, and there confined in, the Tower of London, as traitor, for two years, and it was only after the surrender "of Corn wallis at Yorktown he was given up in exchange for the Commander ia Chief of the Bruish forces. You see there is not the slightest ground for apprehension that there is any illegality in this detention of the mail packet, that the detention was perfectly lawful, the capture was perfectly lawful, their confinement in fort \\ arren will be perfectly lawful (cheers), and as they will no doubt be kept there in safety until the restoration of peace—which wo all so much desire —we may, 1 am sure, cordially wish them & safe and speedy deliv erance. (Cheers.) Defending the Tories. Some years ago, in the face of the most transparent frauds ever perpetrated, some political mountebanks in the editorial ranks could be found who shielded and defended the Portage Railroad and Canal robbers. At a later period, up to the bombardment of Fort Sumter, when an indignant people told these men it was time to stop, the traitors in Buchanan's cabinet, as well as their infamous treason, was apologized for or openly defended by editors calling them selves d> inorruts. It is no wonder therefore that the TORIKS in the democratic ranks— and such only we have denounced —should meet with an advocate in some patent dem ocratic Buchanan officeholder. Our ''amia ble" and "gentlemanly" friend up the riv er, who we believe like his illustrious pro totype portrayed by Cooper has gone through "seven long and bloody wars," without killing aught save a few bait fish, has of course sent his sons and daughters to the war —at least as far as Altoona—or he would not ask us to do what, in hit loyalty, he has not done himself. So far as we are personally concerned, we would cheerfully refer to the old Logan Compauy or to the company of that name now in service, as well as several others from this county, whether we have acted patriotically or not, and challenge our " gentlemanly" cotcrapo rary to make the inquiry. As to the main matter, we repeat what we have more than once said heretofore, show us a lory in the north , or in Pennsylvania, and in nine cas es out of ten we will show you, Mr Ilolli daysburg Standard, one of your political friends whom yo.i are defending as demo crats. To the masses of the people of all par ties we have ever given credit for honesty, but that many who are even now endeav oring to lead the self-etyled democracy, are foully corrupt aud unpatriotic, we conscien tiously believe. Board of Belief of Centre coun ty have already expended over SBOOO in aid of the support of soldiers' families, and unless a serious reduction is made the whole fund authorized by law will be ex hausted. We hear intimations from var ious sources that an attempt will be made to have this money refunded to the sev eral counties by the State, on the ground that it will thus equalize the taxation —some counties having furnished a much greater number of soldiers, in proportion to popu lation, than others. The Grand Review - -The uiiilit-ary review near \V :ihint>in, on Wednesday, comprised over sixty thousand troops. The f Jlowing is a list of the divisions which participated : J>ivisions. Inf.

To guard against and possble surprise while the divisions were forming, the pickets on the outposts had been considerably strengthened. This was the largtst b<*ly of troops ever before reviewed on this Continent. They were all fully equipped, and every man sup plied with forty rounds of cartridges. Kvery division was accompanied by ambulances, so that every branch of the service might be represented. The general appearance of the troops and their movements elicited the highest commen dation from all observers. Luzerne county, the army vote not having pleased the patent democracy, the return judges of the latter stripe thr< w it out! Aunt Kitty's Tea table," which ori ginally appeared in the Gazette, is published in several of our exchanges. All right. Cochran of New York, a prom inent democrat, advocates the employment of the colored race to put down the rebellion. Bedford Inquirer office is offered for sale. One or two enterprising printers, with some little capital, we think could do well there. The London News states that a considera ble portion of Ireland is again threatened with famine, and in the North the failure of the potatoes is more general and complete than in any previous year sinee 1846. B&L.A grandson of Count Rochambeau, the commander of our French allies in '76—and a brother of the illustrious British General, Havelock —are among the distinguished for eigners who have lately offered their services to the U. S. Government. 3®uMrs. Mary Cowan died atCowan'sGap, Fulton County, Pa., on the 23d ult., in the 103 d year of her age. The deceased was the oldest person in that County, and perhaps in this portion of the State. She had resided at the Gap over 75years, and was a widow about 32 years. tey fhe Sunbury American intimates that Northumberland county—-with Breckinridge democrats as Associate Judges and Commis sioners of the same stripe—pays nothing for the relief of the families of her volunteers 1 If this is correct, wc do not wonder that her " democratic" voters at the las* election elect ed a rank tory to office. WAR NEWS. ? An intelligent deserter from the Tenth Georgia Regiment reached Newport News ; on the morning of Friday last, and was ta ! ken to headquarters at Fortress Monroe, where, upon being interrogated, he made known the location of a number of import ant Rebel camps on the right bank of the : James river. " Acting upon this information, an expe dition, consisting of two gunboats, was pre- I pared on Friday, in readiness to proceed at nightfail to the junction of the Jauies and Warwick rivers, about five and one half I miles above Newport-News. The Catn j bridge led the way and steamed without j interruption until reaching the point desig nated, where the white touts oi the enemy could be plainly discerned ou a low wooded | triangular of land. This w„s near i midnight. j Almost before the Rebel pickets could give the alarm the gunboats were iu posi | tion, and had opened fire upon the camps, ; the guns following each other iu rapid suc : cession. No effectual resistance was made by the enemy, and the discharges were continued for more thau an hour, at which time the camps appeared nearly deserted. The dark- j ncss of the night and the wan of sufficient j men prevented a landing being effected.— j Indeed, this was not the ob'ect of the ex- j pedition, the sole aim being to destroy the i camps by an efficient cannonade, and this was successfully accomplished. It '.s be- j lieved that the loss of life on the part of : the Rebels was heavy, owing to the sud- ! denness of the attack, and their couipara lively defenceless state. Passengers by the Old Point boat arrived at Baltimore, Nov. 26, say that the Nor- ! folk Day Book has a dispatch from Rich- ! mond to the effect that an engagement is going on at Pensacola. Parties who read the paper say the Ni- j agara and Colorado engaged fort Mcßea. It briskly replied, and that the 'vessels ■ were damaged and had to haul off. That Pickens was firing on the navy yard. This is the substance of the report One version of the affair at Pensacola says that on Friday Fort Pickens opened on the navy yard and Baraneas, and that • the Colorado and Niagara participated and had to be hauled off, being very much damaged. All comes through secession sources and must be received with due al lowance. A naval expedition, which has attracted but little attention, has leeD preparing for the last few weeks, and is probably already on the way to its destination. About tiftv old whalers have been purchased at New London, Sag Harbor, Mystic, New Bedford, and other points. They have been loaded with stone, which will assist materially iu sinking the craft, and keeping them in their places when they shall have been sunk.— The fleet, which was to have sailed on Wed nesday. is under the command of Captain John P. Rice, of New London, and the crews j under his command are enlisted for three months' service. The people of Memphis are very much alarmed at the prospect of a formidable ex pediti n being sent down tho Mississippi iiv er, and the Appeal declares that " every man in the country should be prepared f>r the emergency." The panic caused by the success of our fleet at Beaufort has not yet abated, and the peo pie of the rebel so;i hnsirJ cities :ire their homes us rapidly as rats leave a sinking ship. Despatches to General Dix, from Eastern Virginia, announce tho capture of three reb el officers, a captain and two lieutenants.— Seven cannon were also captured. They are all new and in good order. All traces ofdis loyalty seem to have disappeared iu Accomac and Northampton counties. The papers publish a telegraphic abstract of the message of Jefferson Diris to the rebel Congress. He makes an elaborate effort to ' create the false impression that the schemes of the conspirators have been crowned with a great degree of success and that the South is ' maintaining, with comparative ease, the ter rible burdens imposed upon her. Ilis mes sage reads more like the argument of an inge nious lawyer defending a great criminal than the message of a statesman ; and he has so grossly perverted facts, and laid down so many false doctrines, that his special plead- I ing can deceive no intelligent reader. North Carolina Coming Hack. —The Pro visional State Government for North Caroli i na, the establishment of which has been con templated for months, was formally institu ted on the Bth inst., by a Convention of Del egates and proxies representing forty-five counties of the State. Ordinances were pas sed acknowledging the Constitution of the United States, appointing Marble Nash Taj- I lor Provisional Governor of North Carolina, proclaiming the secession act illegal and of j no force or effect, and empowering the new Governor to order special elections for Rep resentatives to the Federal Congress. The Army Beef Contracts. The army beef contracts have been closed. There are three contracts, each for 4,000 cat tie. The first was taken by McQuade, of Pittsburg, Pa., and Wm. T. Hildreth, Harris burg, Pa., at |3.98, delivered at Pittsburg, the first delivery to be made on the 30th inst. The second contract was awarded to Jas. Low ther, of Latrobe, and Israel Painter, Greens boro, at $3.57, delivered at Harrisburg—first delivery 31st December. The third lot was awarded to F. Ruff & Co., of Blairsville, Penn sylvania, at $3,55, delivered at Harrisburg, York, or Chambersburg—first delivery to be made on the 30th January. The contracting parties are all of Pennsylvania. These lots with that awarded October 20, to Markle & Johnson, at $3.43, will complete the call for 16,000 head. The bids ranged from $3.39 to $6. Xorthampton and Accomac Counties, Va. Early in the approaching session of Con gress propositions will be presented and con sidered in Congress to make that part of Vir ginia, known as Northampton and Accomac counties, a part of Maryland. Reference to a map of those States will indicate the wis dom of the change, aside from all political considerations. Those counties embrace a delightful section of country; and though the land has been exhausted, there is a fine open ing for enterprise in that district, to which attention. i& already being directed Burning cf War save. The horning of the main portion of the town of Warsaw is confirmed. The fire was first discovered about 6 o'clock P. M., on i Thursday. All the business portion of the tovrn is in ashes. The troops which were ! stationed there left about eight o'clock P. M., ' and are now at Sedalia A portion of the I commissary stores, for which we had no trans i porta'ion, were burned by order of the com | manding officer. It is thought, by tbe officer i in command that the town was fired by the ; citizens, as a man in citizens' dress was seen i coming from the building in which the fire I first commenced. Gen. Ilalleck has issued a lengthy general . order, making the entire affairs of his de partment conform strictly to the army regu lations, and reducing everything to a com plete and easily understood system. Seizure of F >rugc — .1 Ilecotirioissance. A reconnoitering and foraging party under Gen. Brooks, went out on Tuesday from Gen. Smith's division and took possession of Flint Hill ami the surrounding country, by throw ing out the pickets in different directions to prevent a surprise, while the forags master gathered and brought away 70 loads of hay, , having with him not less than 00 wagons. : The only svidence of the presence of the ene my were one regiment of infantry, a squadron of cavalry, and one lattery seen from a prominent position between Fairfax Court bouse and Centreville in a westerly direction, ' about eight miles beyond our outposts. The ' party retreated late in the evening, having heen altogether successful and met with no casualties whatever. Information was receiv ed that the rebels had constructed an artil lery road from Flint Hill to Germantown. j * editor of that model democratic i paper, the Sclinsgrove Times, wants to go to j war as Chaplain to a Snyder county regiment, i As he would he a " fish out of water" among ' L'nion men, we will give him our reenmmen dation for that post at Fort Lafayette. Some Threshing. —A farmer having a son j in Camp Randall at Madison, Wis , wrote an : urgent request lo the young man to come j home and help do his threshing. Said young j man replied : L>E*R FATHER :—I can't go home at pres j ent. 1 should he very glad to help you, but j L ucle Sam has got a d d sight bigger job j of threshing on hand than you hare, and Tan j bound to sec him out of the tcuods Jirst."
