The Peace Democracy
The Peace Democracy of this and
other States, says the Ilarrisburg Tel
egraph, are constantly praying for
peace, asserting the duty of the au
thorities to make every compromise
for peace, and when they desire to
clinch their sophistries on this subject,
arrogantly claiming that there is no
treason in desiring speedy peace. But
all good men believe that there is trea
son in the position assumed on this
Bubject by the doughfaces of the North,
in which tbey pray for, hope for, and
work for peace—either treason or idi
otic foily. The doughface leaders
know that there can be no peace ex
cept by the suppression of the rebel
lion. Peace can only coire by the tri
umpn of the Federal or rebel arms.
The men who oppose the war, as the
doughfaces do, in order to secure peace,
are doing more for the rebel cause
than the rebels themselves. Every
word uttered for peace short of the
full triumph of our arms, is an argu
ment in favor of treason, and of course
those who thus speak are little bettor
than traitors. Hence the men who
clamor for peace, either do not know
what they are thinking about, orthey
are in lavor ot a peace based on a
demolition of the Union— and (hat is
treason.
The Rebel Plot Against Johnson's Island
When the plot of the rebels and
their sympathizers in the Northwest,
to release the prisoners confined at
Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie, was
discovered, the Copperhead journals of
the North "pooh-poohed" the matter,
and attempted to get up a laugh on
Secretary Stanton, for having, as they
alleged, been badly "sold" We now
have proof of xhe existence of the plot
from rebel sources, which cannot fail
to convince the most obtuse mind. It
is from the report of Mr. Mallory, the
Secretary of the rebel navy, and is a
full confirmation of the statements
heretofore published concerning the
affair. Mr. M., in his report, says:
"During the months of July and Au
gust I sent twenty.seven commissioned of
ficers and forty trustworthy petty officers
to the British Provinces, with orders to
organize an expedition and co-operate with
army offioers in the attempt to re'ease the
confederate prisoners confined on Johnson's
Island, in Lake Erie. From time to time
I learned that the arrangements were such
as to insure the most complete success. A
large amount of money had been expend
ed, and just as our gallant naval officers
were about to set rail oo this expedition
the English authorities gave information to
the enemy, and thus prevented the execu
tion of one of the best planned enterprises
of the present war."
—President Lincoln is said to have a
good joke upon all applications for office.
He eays that he has but one vacant place,
and that is the command of the Army of
the Potomac. All decline that, and de
part for home satisfied that the President
in hit. DO WOT. v.
Nominated Him Again.
A self-constituted committee of gen
tlemen, says the Lebanon Courier,
wlfo a few weeks ago met at Cincin
nati and nominated General McClellan
for the Presidency, met in Philadelphia
last week and nominated him again.
They must think there is virtue in
nominations. That old, worn out po
litical hack, Amos Kendell. was at the
head of the committee on both occa
sions. The people will soon become
satisfied that these men are much more
interested in getting into political pow
er than they are in aiding to muintainour
free institutions and preserve our gov
ernment. The whole trouble with Mc-
Clellan and all his parasites is, that
they think more about partizan success
in elections than they do about put
ting down the rebellion. This is no
time for such narrow-minded and sel
fish men.

—A disputed question, whether the
Democrat's New Year's Address is for
the Union or for the rebels?
—The Philadelphia Daily News has
appeared in a new dress, and bears in
ternal evidence of being in a thriving
condition.
—The New York Police Commis
sioners, having proved too loyal for
the New Y'ork copperheads, Gov. Sey
mour has attempted their removal.
—Surprising, how little it takes to
tickle an "independent" newspaper
which arrogates to itself a great deal
of patriotism.
—The property of George T. Smith
son, now in the Albany penitentiary
for sending information to the enemy,
has been confiscated.
—Major Francis Jordan, of Bedford
county, has been appointed by Gov.
Curtin, Military Agent, to represent
the Pennsylvania volunteers in the
city of VY r ashiugton.
—The Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing post commences the year with a
new story called Oswald Cray, by Mrs.
Wood, an authoress of considerable
note. Its columns also contain much
other matter of interest to fastidious
as well as general readers.
—The rebel captain, Hugh Logan,
(formerly of Franklin county, Pa.,)
was recently captured at Woodstock.
Virginia, by Col. Boyd's cavalry. He
was seriously wounded in the right
arm, and in the thigh. Logan has
been a regular outlaw, and his capture
is one of importance. Ho lias been
sent to Washington.
—The Hartford Courant says that
the wife of Gen. Gustavus Smith, of
the rebel army, who has been spend
ing some time in New London, and
rendering herself not a little obnox
ious by the expression of disloyal sen
timents, has been compelled, by orders
from Headquarters, to leave for Fort
ress Monroe, whence she will be sent
across the lines to her friends in Dixie.
—Chauncey C. Burw, one of the lead
ers of the Copperheads, turns out,
says the New York Correspondent of
the Press, to have been a bigamist.
The expose was made by a paper in
New Jersey. Burr threatened a suit
for libel, when the editor responded by
printing the case in full. It takes such
wretches as Burr and Andrews to
make "simon pure" Copperheads. A
man who will be false to his country
will be false to everything elso.
An Extensive Hog Business. —The St.
Joseph (Mo.) Herald says that a far
mer living in that county brought in a
drove of hogs recently, raised by him
self, for which he got fourteen hundred
dollars. The same paper says that
beef cattle are worth two dollars, gross,
in that city, corn is worth 50 cents a
bushel, butter 30 cents a pound, apples
75 cents a bushel, timothy hay 1 dollar
per cwt., and eggs 40 cents a dozen.
fruit seems to bo the dearest pro
duct in that region.
High Prices. —However much men
may complain of high prices, they
have by no means reached the height,
after three years of war, than they
did in time of peace, in 1837. It ap
pears that, in February, wheat at
Rochester was §2 a bushel. In New
York city muttou and veal were 17 to
19 cents a pound; turkey, 25 cents;
chickens, 81 apiece. A writer in a
New York City newspaper at the time
observes: "It is easier to write about
living in this city than to find the
means of doing it. Kents have uni
versally gone up from 30 to 50 per
cent.

Fight near Fort Smith.
LEAVEN WORTH, Jan. 4.
Advices from the South gay that a fight
occurred on the 18th ult., near Fort Gib
sun, Cherokee Nation, between 1000 rebels
under Quantrell, and about GUU federals
under Col. Phillips, of the Indian Brigade.
1 .he fight lasted several hours, and result

From Charleston.
NEW YOKK, Jan. 3.
Advices from Folly Island received per
the Arago state that our guns at Cum
ming's Point opened on Charleston on
Christmas morning, lasting from 1 to 3
o clock. Several fires were kindled in
the city, which burned a considerable
amount of property. The rebel batteries
replied without damage. The U. S. gun
boat Marblehead was fired into by a rebel
battery in Stono Inlet, and two men killed
and five wounded.
Assisted by the Pawnee she compelled
the rebels to leave their works. Gen. Ger
don, with a detachment of men, landed
later in the day and took possession of the
works. The guns were subsequently
brought off by Commander Balsh of the
Pawnee. They are two eight-inch howit
zers. The rebels had one killed aud five
wounded.
Gea. Grant's Congratulatory Order to
his Army.
The following is Gen. Grant's Congrat
ulatory Order to his army, dated Headquar
ters Military Division of the Mississippi,
in the Field, Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 10,
1803.
GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 9. —The Gen
eral commanding takes this opportunity of
returning his sincere thanks and congratu
lations to the brave armies of the Cumber
land, the Ohio, the Tennessee, and their
comrades from the Potomac, for the recent
splendid and decisive success achieved
over the enemy. In a short time you have
recovered from him the control of the
Tennessee river from Bridgeport to Knox
ville. Y'ou dislodged him from his great
stronghold upon Lookout Mountain, drove
hint from Chattanooga Valley, wrested
from his determined grasp the possession
of Missionary Ridge, repelled with heavy
loss to him his repeated assaults upon
Knoxville, forcing him to raise the seige
there, driving him at all points, utterly
routed and discomfitted beyond the limits
of the State. By your noble heroism
and determined courage, you have most
effectually defeated the plans of the ene
my for regaining possession of the States
of Kentucky and Tennessee. Y'ou have
secured positions from which no rebellious
power can drive or dislodge you. For all
this the General commanding thanks you
collectively and individually. The loyal
people of the United States thank and
bless you. Their hopes and prayers for
your success against this unholy rebellion
are with you daily. Their faith in you
will not be in vain. Their hopes will not
be blasted. Their prayers to Almighty
God will be answered. Y'ou will go to
other fields of strife; and with the invin
cible bravery and unflinching loyalty to
justice and right which have characterized
you in the past, you will prove that no
enemy can withstand you, and that no de
fences, however formidable, can check your
onward march.
By order of Maj. Gen. U. S. GRANT.

The War in Tennessee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. —The following
despatch has been received at the head
quarters of the army :
Col. Long, of the 4th Ohio Cavalry,
commanding the 2d Division of Cavalry,
reports from Calhoun, Dec. 28th, that the
rebel Gen. Wheeler, with 1,200 or 1.500
cavalry and mounted infantry, attacked
Col. Leibert and captured a supply train
from Chattanooga to Knoxville, about ten
o'clock this morning, at Charleston, on the
south bank of the Iliawassie. The train
escort had reached the encampment at
Charleston last night, and Leibert's skir
mishers were wholly engaged with the ene
my this morning before Col. Long was ap
prised of their approach. He immediately
moved the small force for duty in his camp
at the time —one hundred and fifty men
and crossed to Col. Leibert's support. The
rebels shortly after gave way, Long pursu
ing them closely. Discovering a portion
of their force cut off to the right, be charg
ed them with sabers, completely demoral
izing and scattering them in great confus
ion in every direction. Several of the
enemy —number not known—were killed
and wounded. One hundred and twenty
one prisoners, including five commissioned
officers, were captured.
The main rebel column fled, and was
pursued for five miles on the Dalton road,
and when last seen was fleeing precipitate
ly.
Long's loss was one man slightly wound
ed.
The officer in command of the courier
station at Cleveland also reports that he
was attacked early this morning (Dec. 28)
by a force of about one hundred rebels.
He drove them off.

Major General Commanding.
Official Despatch of Brig. Gen Kelly.
HARPER'S FERRY, Dec. 25, 9 a. m.
Gen. Sullivan's column has returned
safely, bringing one hundred prisoners,
about one hundred horses, accoutrements,
&c. My different columns are all now
safely back. We have captured, in all,
over four hundred prisoners and a large
amount of property. My plans and others'
have all been promptly and faithfully ex
ecuted, with a single exception, and with
but small loss on our part

Important Arrests.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.
Two brothers, named Aaron and George
Y\ olt, and Messrs. Benjamin and Esalas
Hoffman, have been arrested and confined
in Fort Lafayette, lor being concerned in
the blockade running busiuess. They
shipped goods Nassau, per brig Good
line, which were subsequently found on
tha captured steamer Margaret and Jessie.
Messrs. J. I). Young and J C. Budd have
also been sent to Fort Lafayette as ship
pers of contraband goods. Other parties
and also visitants of the hotel here, known
as the headquarters of those of secession
proclivities, have been arrested. The
blockade business here is almost played
out.
Rebel New 5.
Files ol the Richmond papers of the
28th ult. furnish several matters ol inter
est. 'I he question of an exchange of pris
oners is still largely discussed. The Whig,
referring to Butler's proposition for an ex
change, says:
"A preliminary question to be consider
ed by our authorities, is whether they will
treat with a person whom they have for
merly outlawed. If this difficulty can be
got over, we dare say Butler may be dealt
with on as good tortus as any one Lincoln
will select. Hitchcock and Meredith both
proved themselves very scurvy fellows—
falsifiers and tricksters. They are well got
rid of. It is known that Butler disapprov
ed their conduct, and that he has all along
favored, or pretended to favor, a just and
liberal plan of exchange. The first cartel
that was entered into was negotiated, if we
remember aright, between him and Gen.
D 11. Hill. Lpon the whole, and in view
of the accomplishment of so desirable an
end as the liberation of so many of our
noble fellows, now the tenants of Yankee
prisons, we hope the President may not
find it incompatible with the dignity and
duty of the Government to waive the out
lawry and recognize the beast. It will be
necessary for Col. Ould, though, to bo wide
awake when they get to arranging the
terms of exchange, for this cross-eyed Y'an
kee has in him the cunning of the Evil
One."
THE FEDERAL PRISONERS AT DANVILLE.
The Whig says: "The Danville Reg
ister says the small pox continues to spread
among the Y'ankee prisoners there, and
there are new about three hundred cases
in all. The virus furnished by their own
Government having been generally admin
istered, the progress of the disease may be
checked. The fatality among the prison
ers from this and other maladies is very
great. Several wagon-loads are hauled out
to the graveyard every day from the gen
eral hospital, besides those who die of
small pox."
THE LOSS IN EAST TENNESSEE.
The Richmond Enquirer, of December
24th, has the following doleful editorial
view of the loss of the Confederacy by the
Y'ankees getting possession of East Ten
nessee :
"Our losses by the enemy gaining pos
session of East Tennessee are incalculable.
We are not only deprived of the vast flour
mills of that country which previously
supplied the whole army, but of vast ma
chine shops extensively organized at Knox
ville
Besides this, we are cut off from the
coal, iron and copper mines, which were
millions to us. The copper rolling mills
at Cleveland, superintended by Col. Poet,
Government agent, which were burned by
the enemy, formerly turned out (5,000
pounds ol copper per day. Over three
millions of pounds have been delivered to
the Government. This was the only cop
per rolling mill in the country , and which
kept us supplied in copper for our caps
and cannon. This is among our losses oj
the battle of Chattanooga, which is spoken
of as merely resulting in the loss of four
thousand men and thirty eight pieces of
cannon !"
CONSCRIPTION.
The Whig has a long editorial on the
subject of a general conscription, in the
course of which it says :
"The attention of Congress has been
occupied for some days past upon the effi
ciency of thearmy. The act admittingsub
stitutes into service was repealed with the
utmost expedition. A bill setting aside all
contracts with the principal whose substi
tute has been received, and conscripting
him also into service, has passed the
House with precipitancy and almost una
nimity, and , there is but little reason to
doubt will be rushed through the Senate.
A more sweeping conscription, embracing
all able bodied men of all ages and classes,
with various modifications, has also been
proposed. A frenzy for the moment seems
to possess both the administrative and leg
islative branches of the Government upon
the subject of swelling the muster rolls of
our armies.
" Whence comes this frantic infatuation?
Is it a system of panic, of trepidation,
bordering on despair? Are we reduced to
the necessiy of making such an exhibition
to our enemies and the world, in resorting to
such desperate measures unparalleled in
the history of wars? It is one of the pro
tean forms of demagoguery that has be
witched our civil leaders? The "equality
of every man ergo " all must go to the
field!" Is not our war based on the princi
ple and fact, which all history has demon
strated as a truth— the inequality of man
—the policy we say of races? Or is it the
scheme of the designing and the aspiring?
This subject demands the cautious, the
most deliberate consideration and circum
spection of Congress."
The above, with all else heard from
the south, goes to show that the vile
leadore of the rebellion, reduced to the
last shifts of a desperate cause, arc
resorting to acts of tyranny and op
pression which, thus far in the history
of the world, have reacted on their
authors. The Amnesty Proclamation
of the President is doubtless produc
ing its effect among the deluded men
who followed the lead of Buchanan's
perjured and traitorous cabinet, aud as
the " sober second thought" takes the
place of misguided reasoning, thou
sands will seek safety under its wings.
It is worthy of note that a gang of
northern doughface patent democrats,
fellowscontinually prating about "dem
ocracy," the "constitution," "Lincoln's
usurpations," " peace," &c., can hardly
be brought to utter a word against tho
scoundrels who enact such laws as are
now proposed at -Richmond! They
can run about tho streets crying out
against the draft and against the §3OO
exemption, but as for the south it is
" Pri sident Davis" is a great states
man, "Gen. Lee" the greatest military
man of the age, the southern army
composed of gentlemen, while our offi
cers are d—d abolitionists, our soldiers
hirelings, and our government, in its
honest efforts to put down tho rebel
lion and restore peace, one of extrav-1
agance, oppression and injustice ! It
is a great pity that such tories cannot
be planted where Jof Davis could lay
his beneficent hands on them.
