American Bre-dstuffs ?ad Stocks in Eu rope The news by tiie steamer Africa, is rep- j resented in the New York commercial pa- ; pers as extremely favorabie for American j produce and American securities. The French demand for breadstuff's was impro ving, and in London American securities ; were firmer. Though the intelligence of Fort Donelson and the fall of Nashville I were not known at the time the Africa sailed, the public of Great JJritairi and France seemed to be forming a juster ap prehension of the nature and prospects of the contest, and realizing that the war would be over before midsummer. All the financial circulars report an increased in quiry for American securities, and the pri vate letters state the same thing. One letter from a leading London house to a house in Wall street, after alluding to the ease of money and anxiety of the specula tors on the London Stock Exchange to find something new to operate in. goes on to say that one more victory on the part of the North will undoubtedly lead to an ac tive speculative demand for American se- ! curities. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. We last week referred to a vote of Mr. Ross as inconsistent. The bill it seems was called up by him before the vote was taken on the repeal of the tonnage tax act ol last year, and was at once pronounced as an attempt to legalize the act of last year. Mr K. however pronounced the bill " all right," Sic., and to show that wc were not alone in regarding the two votes as incon sistent, we quote the following remarks from Mr. Williams of Allegheny. I would suggest to ths gentleman from Mif tiin, (Mr. Ross,) that he will consent to the postponement of this bill. Whether the construction of the gentleman from Hunting don, (Mr. Scott,) he correct or not —whether the company have three years or one year— makes no practical differenco. The date of the act, if I mistake not, was the 7th of March, 1861. The year then has elapsed, so that there can be nothing lost by further delay. In regard to the remarks of my friend from Blair county, (Mr. Banks,) I think he mis takes the terms of the bill. 4fe docs not take the view of it, which, it occur* to me he must on a little reflection as a law3 - er, necessarily take. Now there was an appropriation of seven hundred and fifty three thousand dol lars to liomiiit, to this purpose; but in consid oration of the release of that amount of ar rears of tonnage tax, then unpaid, and the prospective release of the tax itself, the com pany agrees to do certain things. Among others, it agrees that it will subscribe, not these seven hundred and fifty-three thousand dollars in terms, but that it will purchase the bonds of these several railroad companies, or guarantee them, to the amount of eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars in certain proportions, ratably among these companies, provided that these companies will within the period of a year—or three years, fur it makes no difference what the construction may be— provided that they will perform what is spec ified in the act. Now, suppose the act of last session is con stitutional, what are the obligations of the I'ennsylrania railroad company under that contract, taking it to be a contract? Why to purchase theso bond- in ca-c certain things are done within a given time. Now, they are not done ; a year has expired. llow are we ta alter that contract? Can we impose upon the Pennsylvania railroad company, suppos ing it a good contract, a new obligation? The ngreemcnt was to do this thing upon the con dition that these companies should comply with the specific terms within the time ; and they have not complied. Now, how are we change the terms of this coutract? This is an argument that cannot be answered. But there is one other great objection, 1 which remains behind. This bill affirms by I indirection—nay, not by indirection, it di- i rectly affirms the validity of the act ot last year; and I take it that no man who is in fa vor of the repeal of that act, can consistent- j ly vote for this. If that act wore now de- ' pending here, I take it that the bill of the gentleman from MitHin county, (Mr. Ross,) ! would be in order as an amendment l>y way of substitute. We propose to repeal the law j of last session; he proposes to affirm it, 1 hope that gentlemeu will look at this matter. The case is not susceptible of any other con- 1 struction- These things meet us in the face. | We cannot consistently pass this bill to-day j affirming that act, and then tomorrow pass a bill repealing the whole of it. Do not gen <lemen see it? Does iny fritnd frcm Mifflin county insist upon action on his bill under these circumstances? We cannot put these , two votes on the record, and defend them as consistent votes. This bill raises the whole question as to the validity of the act of last ses sion. I know that the gentleman does not want to raise that question here. He would not want to put himself in a false position : and I think he would do so by insisting on the passage of this bill at this time. The Truth Fitly Spoken. The following article which we find in the editorial columns of the Sunburv Gazette, (Dem .) contains so much truth, so much good ) eense, and so justly rebukes a certain class of rebel sympathizers and dishonest politicians, we transfer it to our columns. Coming as it does, too, from the pen of a life long Demo crat, it should have double weight and influ ence with all thinking and honest readers. But to the article:— " Had it not been for the frauds committed in the army contracts, by speculators who rushed to the fleecing of the government from all quarters and front all parties, our Breck | inridge cotemporaries would have very littl* to put in their columns. They will publish ao articles supporting the government; they j will insert nothing that inay encourage the President in the performance of his duty ; they can find no room for anything that looks like a denunciation of the rebellion; they have too great a regard for Floyd to pitch into him; too much respect for Davis, an old party lead er, to give him his deserts; and too tender a feeling for Breckinridge, their late standard i bearer, to publish bis proper pedigree; the Union victories appear to be distasteful, so . they say as little about them as possible; but i the army frauds, the army frauds !—what would they do without them ? j It seems to be the special business of these i newspapers now to prove that the present Administration is as rascally as was the last, and by proving that they think they can es | tablish their claim U a reinstatement in power. But they appear not to comprehend the fact that the reputation of an Administration is not materially damaged by the misconduct of those under it. It is the "ncouragement or concealment of such misconduct, as was the case in the Buchanan Adminstration, that produces the damaging effect. Any princi pal may be unfirtunate enough to employ a dishonest agent; but the principal can he considered as bad as the agent only when he conceals or approves of his dishonesty. In the present war a most extraordinary opportunity was presented for the commission of frauds. A great army and navy had to be created, equipped, and supplied, in a hurry, to meet an emergency. The necessity of the government compelled it to employ "untried men, of whose character they had no means ef judging, and of whose politics no questions were asked, as men of all political parties were allowed to participate in furnishing sup plies. Frauds were the result. But what then ? Why if then the government had con cealed these frauds, through fear that it might be damaged by their development, or through dishonest collusion between the heads of the Administration and the delin quents, it would now be as culpable as its dishonest agents. But we see that this was not the case. The frauds were brought to light by the Republican Congressmen, with the aid and countenance of the Republican President. The party in power might hare acted differently—it might have followed the example of the Buchanan Administration, and used its influence to keep the frauds from public view, leaving tiie drain on the Treasury continue unchecked, until the coun try was brought to bankruptcy and ruin.— Under the Buchanan Administration the fact of immense frauds and other reprehensible practices, in the pasage of the Lecompton Bill, in the army in Utah, in army and navy contracts, and in influencing elections and Members by money, was dragged to ligh f % the opposition, with those in power making thft most determined and malignant resis tance against investigation. This is not the case now, yet the Breckinridge press can give no credit to a party which does not wait for an opposition to expose the dishonesty of its agents, but makes the exposition itself.— This venal press sees a chance of making votes by crying " frauds, frauds!" and with that cry, in connection with " taxes!" they hope to carry the next election." BkaySuine of the Breckinridge editors have recently quoted some things said by Senator Cowan with great gusto. We invito their particular attention to the following from him " Thousands of Southern people had been duped into rebellion by being told that the Northern people were all Abolitionists. If ever there was a foul slander it was the alle- i gation made by the slave holders of the South and their Northern allies, that the sole object of the Republican party was the abolition of slavery. "That slander enabled traitors to consoli date rebellion. lie had more respect for the meanest soldier in the Southern army than for the editors and orators of the North, who, knowing it to be false, sent South this gigan tic lie." They Should Pay. —The present war, brought upoa the country by traitors, has cost, and will cost, a large sum of money, which somebody will have to pay. Who should be made meet the burden ? There are a certain class in the North who are so ten der in regard to the feelings and interests of the rebels that they arc struck with a kiud of holy horror when you speak of making the rebels bear the chief expense through confis cation. Why should they not be made thus to bear it as far as possible? Should the people of Pennsylvania and other loyal States suffer taxation to relieve such States as South Caroliua and her sisters in rebellion ? Let rebel property be confiscated and appro priated to the payment of the expenses our government incurg through the war.— Leba• ton Courier. B@„The Democrats in the Legislature have > been busy mousing around trying to hunt up something that would appear extravagant on the part of their opponents. In accor- 1 dance with this idea, Mr. Rex, of MoDgomery county, moved a committee to investigate the contingent expenses of the House, under the 1 Republican Clerk, Mr. Ilauch. Mr. Rex got his committee, but be also got more than he bargained for :he caught a Tartar. The in-! ve6tigaiion was carried back to the time of a previous Clerk, Mr. Ziegler, a Democrat, when it came out thai the expenses under Zeigler were $19,598.93, while under Rauch they were only $11,237.87, leaving, in favor ol Rauch the handsome sunt of $7,361.87, not withstanding an extra session was held last j 6umuaer, the expenses of which, being $2,000, were charged againest Rauch. If Mr. Rex desires to continue investigations of this kind to benefit the Democratic party, we hone he vrill go ahead.— lbid. i WAR NEWS. Despatches received at St. Louis frort Island No. 10 and New Madrid state thai the bombardment of the Rebel batteries j continued during the whole of Wednesday by our gun and inortat boats, with marked suecess. All their guns except one in th< upper battery on the Teenessce shore were silenced, and one on the island dismounted The shells from the mortar boats fall with precision in the Rebel cauip and batteries and numbers of killed and wounded were carried a\ruy. From the number of loaded wagons leaving the Tennessee shore it wa.< believed the Rebels were preparing for an other trateyclicul retreat, (ten. Dope i; also carrying on his operations successfully at New Madrid. A Rebel gunboat was al lowed to approach within fifty yards of a concealed battery and then sunk, with a loss of fifteen of her crew, lie had pre viously allowed five Rebel steamers to pass on toward New Madiid, and now has them between his batteries, unable to escape. Over a dozen Rebel vessels and their floa ting battery arc above Gen Pope's batter ies, and will be destroyed or captuted. A despatch to the Chicago Tribune brings our advices from Island No. 10 up to Thursday noon. The bombardment was t still progressing. The Rebels have eighty guns in their different forts, and are suppo sed to have twenty thousand troops on the mainland. Our shells reach all parts of the Island. The vigor of the bombardment may be gathered from the fact that on Monday twelve hundred shot and shell were thrown into the Rebel works. At last accounts the bombardment was still continued. Saturday's Skirmish at Winchester- Gen. Shields' Injury. On Saturday, the 22d inst., about 1 o'clock, small parties of Ashby's Cavalry came within sight of the Federal pickets, , and a series of desultory firing took ' between them. This continued for some time without effect on either side, until about 3 or 4 o clock in the afternoon, when the enemy made their appearance in large numbers and commenced driving in the pickets. A messenger was then despatch ed to Gen. .Shields, but before reinforce ments arrived the rebels were within a mile and a half of the town, having advanced as fur as the .Stone House Mill, on the Strasburg Pike, and within full sight of the town. From this point they fired into some baggage wagons and tents stationed on the outskirts of the town, but without damage. Not knowing the precise nature of the attack, the whole of Gen. Shields' Division were called to arms, and held in readiness. Three batteries of artillery were sent at once to the scene of action, and a sharp skirmish ensued. The rebels had four pieces placed at different points on the road and bills, supported by Ashby's Cavalry and some companies of light in fantry. Some eight or ten shots were fired by thciu, mostly shells, the majority of which burst in the air over the Federal troops. Soon after our batteries opened fire the rebel troops scattered like sheep and were pursued until dark put an end to the affair. During the fight, Gen. Shields, who com manded in person, was struck hv a frag ment of a shell on the upper part of' the left arm, shattering the bone, producing a compound fracture, and it is feared ampu tation would become necessary. The Gen. remained on the field after being wounded, giving his orders until the close of the fight, when lie was conveyed to the resi dence of Mr. George Severs, formerly con nected with the Farmers' Rank of Win chester. On Sunday morning the Genera! was in cheerful spirit?, though suffering some pain; up to that time it was not known whether or not amputation would be ne cessary. Our loss consisted of one man killed, be longing to the First Michigan Cavalry; one wounded, -end one or two horses killed or wounded. Up to Sunday morning twenty-nine bodies ot the rebels had been discovered in different parts of the scene of action, and a number of wounded were carried off by them in their retreat. The rebel force in the affair is estima ted at from twelve to fifteen thousand.— The rapidity of the firing of our artillery gave rise to the belief in town that a gen eral action was taking place, and that Jack son had returned in force. It is generally credited here that infor mation had been carried to the rebels that the Union forces had left the town, with the exception of a guard for police duty. It was not generally known among the in habitants that Gen. Shields' division was lying some three or four miles north of the town. Acting on information convey ed to them, an easy recapture of the place was anticipated. It was currently report ed that two or three of Ashby's Cavalry were in the town on Saturday morning, in the disguise of farmers, peddling butter, eggs, Ac., and seeing a movement of our troops from that place, conveyed informa tion that led to the above skirmish. Despatches from Winchester confirm the defeat of the Rebel army under General Jackson in the battle of Sunday. The Rebels have been driven back to Straus burg with heavy loss, and more than one thousand of their small arms have been captured. The fighting on Monday was confined to skirmishing, in which wc had ten killed and wounded. An official des patch from a surgeon in Gen. Shields' Di vision states that our loss in the battle of Sunday was from seventy-five to one hun dred killed and about two hundred and fifty wouuded. lie also states that ho saw on the field '< two hundred aud twenty-five of the enemy dead." Yesterday morning's National Intelligen cer says : " A despatch received last night from Winchester says that General Banks was then at Cedar Creek, two miles from Strasburg, which place he intemied to take to day. There was very little fighting yester day (Monday). The Unionists lost about ten killed and wounded. Mr. Luce, the Assist ant to Captain Abert, of the Topographical Engineers, was taken prisoner. The enemy was still retreating." The steamer Chancellor Livingston, arrived at Fortress Monroe, brings interesting and important intelligence from the North Caroli na coast. It appears that immediately after the capture of Newbern by Gen. Burnside an expedition was despatched toward Beaufort, X. C. C'n approaching the place it was found that the Rebels had fled, having first blown up Fort Macon and burnt the privateer Xash viile. As Fort Macon was a large and strong work, it is hardly possible that it has been more than partially destroyed. The posses sion of Beaufort gives us another excellent Southern harbor, iuto which the largest ships of the navy can enter. A detachment of the First lowa cavalry went out from Jefferson city. Missouri, in search of a guerilla hand of Rebels. They killed two, wounded one, took seventy five prisoners and caj tured twenty horses, forty eight kegs of powder and a quantity oi arms The Nashville IJanner of the 18th, con tains an address of Governor Johnson to the people of Tennessee. The demand for it in Nashville is said to be so universal, that it was with extreme difficulty that a copy could be procured, and some of the news papers had published it on successive days. We give the concluding paragraph. And while it may become necessary, in vindicating the violated majesty of the law, and in reasserting its imperial sway, to pun ish intelligent and conscious treason in high places, no merely retaliatory or vindictive policy will be adopted. To those, especially, who in a private, unoffeial capacity have as sumed an attitude of hostility to the Govern ment, a full and complete amnesty for all past acts and declarations is offered, upon the one condition of their again yielding them selves peaceful citizens to the just supremacy of the laws. This I advise them to do for their own good, and for the peace and welfare of our beloved State, endeared to me by the nsso ications of long and active years, and by the enjoyment of her highest honors. And appealing to my fellow citizens of Tennessee, I point them to my long public life as a pledge for the sincerity of my motives and an earnest for the performance of my present and future duties. ANDREW JOHNSON. Parson Brownlow's Speech The following speech of l'arson Rrown low was delivered in front of the St. Cloud Hotel, Nashville, on the evening of the 17th : GENTLEMEN: I am in a sad plight to say much of interest; too thoroughly incapacity ted to do justice to you or myself. My throat has been disordered for the past three years, and 1 have been compelled to almost abandon public speaking. Last December I was thrust into an uncomfortable and disagreeable jail— for what ? Trai.tou .' Treason to the bogus confederacy : and the proofs of that treason were articles which appeared in the Knoxvillc Whig in May last, when the State of Tonnes see was a member of the imperishable Union. At the expiration of four weeks I became a victim ofjhe typhoid fever, and was removed to a room in a decent dwelling, and a guard o! seven men kept me company. I subse quent y became so weak that I could not turn over in my bed, and the guard was increased to twelve men. fur fear I should suddenly recover and run away to Kentucky. Becotn ing convalescent, in a measure, 1 was removed to my former place of confinement. One day I was visited by some Confederate officers, who remarked, "Brownlow, you should not be here. Take the oath of allegiance to the Confederate Government, which will not J nly entitle you to a speedy release, but insure your protection." "Sir! " said I, "before 1 would take the oath to support such a hell forsaken institution, I would suffer myself to rot or die of old age." Why, my friends, these demagogues actu ally boast that the Lord is upon their side, and declare tiiat God Almighty is assisting them iu the furtherance of their nefarious project. In Knoxville and surrounding lo calities, a short time since, daily prayer meet ings were held, wherein the Almighty was beseeched to raise Lincoln's blockade, and to i hurl destruction against the Burnside expedi tion. Their prayers were partly answered— the blockade at Roanoke Island was most effectually raised , a reciprocal of their sacri lege divinely tendered. Gentlemen, lam no Abolitionist; I applaud no sectional doctrines : I am a Southern man and all my relatives and interests are thor oughly identified with the South, and South- j ern institutions. I was born in the Old Do minion, my parents were born in Virginia, , and they and their antecedents were ail slave holders. Let me assure you that the South i has suffered no infringement upon her insti tution ; tho slavery question was actually no pretext for this unholy, unrighteous con flict. Twelve Senators from the cotton States, who had sworn to preserve inviolate the Con stitution framed by our forefathers, plotted treason at night—a fit time for such a crime —and telegraphed to their States despatches advising them to pass ordinances of Secession Yes, gentlemen, twelve Senators swore alle- j giance in the day time; and unswore it at i night. A short time since, I was called upon by a little Jew, who, I believe, is the Secre tary of War of the bogus Confederacy. He threatened to hang me, and I expected no more mercy from him that was shown by his illustrious predecessors toward Jesus Christ. I entered into a long correspondence with this specimen of humanity, but from mercy or forgetfulness on their part, I was permit ted to depart with all my documents in my little valise, which I hope to publish at no distant day. Gentlemen, when I started on my perilous journey, I was sore distressed in mind, and exceedingly so in body. But the moment my eyes encountered the pickets of the Federal army my depression decreased and returning health seemed suddenly to invigor ate my physical constitution. Gentlemen, Secession is played out. the dog is dead; the child is born, and his Bame is Jeff Davis, Jr. My throat distresses me to such an extent that I must decline further remarks this eve ning, but sh&ll make myself heard upon the next convenient occasion, which will probably be ere the termination of the present week. The Nashville papers publish this speech on successive days, the demand for it being such that they could not supply it in one day.
