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.

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.
