CUR STATE SENATOR.
The Lewistown Democrat has of late
so frequently attributed indecent lan
guage to the Gazette, that people have
gut to look upon it as a sort of "stop
thief apology for its own indecorous
attacks. Thus last week folks are
gravely told that our calling Bueher,
the Senator from this district, a " piece
of Democratic machinery," was in
decent. and thereupon it launches into
a defence of his revolutionary conduct,
even alleging that the democracy ap
proves it. That he is nothing more
than a piece of machinery is shown by
the fact that he is doing precisely
what Jet Davis and Ins allies desire
him to do, that is, squander the tax
payers' money, prevent all legis
lation on the subject of bounties to
volunteers, and disarrange tho ma
chinery of government generally. A
man who does this in a time of peace
can hardly be called more than a po
litical trickster ; and he who does it in
a time ot war is no more a democrat
than the one who burns blue-lights to
the rebels, for both are giving " aid
and comfort to the enemy." We do
not believe that the honest portion of
the democrats either admire or ap
prove the course pursued by Bueher
and his associates, who, if they honest
ly believed themselves in the right,
would not vote at all under a speaker
legally elected at the close of last ses
sion, but whom they say is not the
Speaker. Common sense people of all
kinds, whether democrats or republi
cans, cannot see that hair-splitting
distinction which Bueher and others
make, and think that when questions
are up affecting the right of soldiers
to vote, of giving thanks to Grant,
Meade, and other Generals and their
armies, Ac., it would be quite as easy
to say aye as no—for by voting at all
they recognize the officers of tho Sen
ate, an idea which as yet does not
seem to have entered their noddles.

The President and Gen. MeCieJlan.
Gen. MeClelian's report of his cam
paigns, at tiic instance of the Copper
head Cox of Ohio, was ordered to he
printed by Congress, and is said to be
one of the most extraordinary mili
tary reports ever made, making more
than a thousand pages. Instead o<
giving a clear and concise report of
his operations, it is mixed up with all
kinds of letters and opinions not of
what teas done, but what he thought
ought "to have been done so that he
could have succeeded in taking Ilich
mond. Hut from all this mass of ver
biage the following facts leak out:
O O
Ist. that Gen. McClellan had the larg
est, best equipped, and most enthusi
astic army ever put into the held in
this country. 2d. That on every oc
casion where lie claimed to be success
l'ul lie failed to follow up his advanta
ges. 3d. That by delay, be was
every day weakening his gallant
army by sickness in the Virginia
swamps, while the rebels were even
day becoming stronger. Our noble
President, though no military man, as
early as April foresaw the catastrophe,
and had Gen. McClellan followed his
advice, what reader can doubt the re
sult. Here is the letter —look at the
date, read and reflect on it :
WASHINGTON, April 'J, ISC2.
Major General McClellan.
MY I 'EAU SJR: Your despatches com
plaining that you are not properly sustained,
while they d<> not offend me, do pain me
very much. Blenker's division was with
drawn from you before you left here, and
you know the purpose under which I did it,
and, as I thought, acquiesced in it—certainly,
not without reluctance. After you left, I as
certained that less than twenty thousand vnor>
ganized men, without a sinylefield>buttery,
were all you designed to be left Jor the defence
of Washington and Manassas Junction , and
part of this even was to go to General Hook
er's position. General Bank's corps, once
des gned for Manassas Junction, was divert*
ed; and having taken a trip up on the line
of Winchester and Strasburg, I could not
have it without again exposing the Upper
Potomac and the Baltimore and Ohio Bail
road. This presented (or would present,
when McDowell and Sumner should begone)
a great temptation to the enemy to turn hack
from the Rappahannock and sack Washing
ton. My explicit order that Washington
should, by the judgment of all the com
manders of army corps, be left entirely se
cure, had been neglected• It was precisely
this that drove me to detain McDowell.
I do not forget that I was satisfied with
your arrangement to leave Banks at Manas
ses Junction; hut when that arrangement
was broken up, arid nothing was substituted
for it, of course I was constrained to sufe-Nti*
tuto s methiog for it myself, and allow me
to ask: Do you really think I should per
mit the line from Richmond, via Manassas
Junction, to he entirely open, except what
resistance could he prevented by less than
twenty thousand unorganized troops? This
is a question which the country will not
allow me to evade.
There is a curious mystery about the ttunt'
ber of the troops now with you. When I
telegraphed to you on the Gth, saying you
had over a hundred thousand with you, I had
just obtained from the Secretary of War a
statement taken, as he said from your own
returns, making 108.000 then with you, and
en route to you. You now say you wll have
85,000 when all en route to you shall have
reached you. How can the discrepancy of
23,000 he accounted for?
As for General Wool's command, I under
stand it is doing for you precisely what a
like number of your own wuuld have to do,
if that command was away.
I suppose the whole force which has gone
forward for you, is with you by this time,
and il so, I think it is the precise time for
you to strike a blow. Jig delay the enemy
will relatively gain upon you. ; that is, he. will
gam faster by fortif cations and reinforce
meats, than you can by reinforcements alone.
And once more let me tell you, it is indis
pensible to you that you strike a blow. /
am powerless to help this. You will do me
the justice to remember that I always insisted
that going down the Bay in search of a field,
instead of fighting at or near Manassas, was
only shifting, and not surmounting a diffi
culty : that we would find the snme enemy
and the same or equal entrenchments, at
either place. The country will not. fail to
note, is now noting, that the present hesitation
to more upon an entrenched enemy is but the
story of Manassas repeated.
I beg to assure you that I have never
written you, or spoken to you, in greater
Kindness of feeling than now, nor with a
fuller purpose to sustain you, so fur as in niv
most anxious judgment I consistently can.
But you must act.
Yours, very truly. A. LINCOLN.
Those who will carry back their
memories to April, 1862, will acknowl
edge that without knowing a word of
President Lincoln having written this
letter, the public mind was thoroughly
imbued with the conviction that what
he pointed out ought to have been
done. AN hy it was not, has never yet
been satisfactorily explained.
Our Congressman—His Record.
Last week Mr. Smith of Kentucky
offered the following preamble and res
olution :
WHEREAS, A most desperate, wicked and
bloody rebellion exists in the jurisdiction of
the United States, and the safety and seeuri
ty of personal and national liberty depends
upon its absolute and utter extinction; there,
fore,
Resolved, That it is the political, civil mor
al and sacred duty of the people to meet it,
fight it, and forever destroy it. thereby estab'
lis bin g perfect and unalterable liberty.
Extraordinary as it may seem 1G
copperheads, among whom were An
cona, Stiles and Miller from this State,
voted against this resolution. Our
member did not vote at all, although
he voted on another question a short
time before.
The Bread Top Railroad.
In answer to some personal attacks
on L. 1. W attson, Esq., President of
the road, that gentleman gives the fol
lowing truthful statement of the dif
ficulties under which it labored. That
it was kept out of the hands of the
sheriff is some evidence of skill in its
management, and as it is now doing a
good business, with fair prospects be
fore it, untried hands would hardly
better it.
1 confess to two serious mistakes in the
early part of our operations. One was in
supposing that the market for bituminous
coal was like the anthracite, almost unlimi
ted : the other was yielding to the pressure
of landlords, in making branch roads to their
lands, at a time when the market would not
justify so extensive a development. The em
banassment caused hy this brought the coin
pany on the verge t.f destruction, and some
of the roads mode added nothing to the net
revenue of the company for years.
Ihe hoard of directors and myself did
the best we could to retrieve this error, and
by strenous efforts prevented the sale of the
road, which would have left no stock to dis
pute about. At present the branches are all
becoming profitable, and the stock is out of
danger, with a prospect of soon not only
paying interest, but of making up in time
tor loss of back interest. Jdroad Too today
ships much more coal than any Bituminous
Coal Company in the State, and nearly as
much as the whole Cumberland region.
"To manage a road with money and cred
it is not so difficult, but to manage one so
heavily involved as the Broad Top was in
1857, without money or credit, and to in
crease the road and sidings within five years
ten miles, to improve collieries, build station
arid engine houses, and pipe water to them,
add eight locomotives to the rolling stock,
and at the same tinio relieve the company
from embarrassment, we have found to be
no small job, whatever others may think to
the contrary.
"In conclusion I hav only to add. that I
have done the best 1 could for the interest of
the c mpanv, but I do not at any time wish
to bold my position an hour longer than it is
the wish of the majority of the stockholders
that I should do so."
North Carolina.
| The rebel papers in this State are
! daily becoming bolder in denouncing
j Jeff Davis and bis crew, and give
| strong indications that we shall soon
I have a rebellion within a rebellion.
Lhe following is c( pled from the
! Raleigh Standard of a late date :
" We are now reaping the bitter fruits of
' peaceable secession,' in forcing from their
once happy and peaceful homes into the
army all from eighteen to forty-five years of
age, to be driven to the slaughter like oxen
to the shambles. And to till up the thinned
ranks, the present Congress now has before
it the monstrous proposition to conscript all
■ from sixteen to fifty- five years of age, and
make them subject to military law, which the
Richmond Examiner boldly denounces as
nothing less than an attempt to make Mr.
Davis Dictator.
'• Lot is examine and see what kind of a
body it is that is imposing such burdens on
the people of North Carolina.
" We have a Congress, the legislation of
which is controlled by members from Ken
tueky, fennessee v Missouri, Arkansas, Louis
ana, and other places, who impose odious and
oppressive laws upon us, which can no mure be
enforced on the people of the States which
they profess to represent than upon the
people of New York or New England. The
chief cause of the revolutionary war which
sundered the connection of the Colonies from
the mother country was that the English
Parliament imposed oppressive laws on the
colonies which did not affect the people of
England themselves. No conscript law can
be enforced upon the people of Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, nor
on a large portion of Virginia, Florida,
Mississippi, or Texas. No tax lair, nor tith
iny, or impressment law can be en forced, on
them, while those irresponsible members viay
force from their homes every-person in North
Carolina able to bear arms, regardless of age
or condition, and place them in the army, as
is now urged by them in Congress, ami 'leave
the helpless women and children to starve.
Tuey may put us under a military despotism,
und place over us a dictator, and impose taxes
and burdens on us which are insujrportable,
and there is no redress, unless North Car
olina will protect her children.
Is it not an outrage on every principle of
free government, for men of desperate for
tunes, professing to represent other States,
on whose soil they dare not set their foot, to
make and enforce odi<>u- and oppressive laws
uu our people? Are we prepared to submit
to this? If not, then let every man arouse
himself before it is too late, and denounce
these attempts to betray our liberties and
place us under a military despotism. Let
every man that can speak or write denounce
these outrages on civil liberty until their de
nunciations are heard aud heeded in Con
gress.
"But if Congress, in a spirit of dospe
ration, should act the tyrant and impose
such crushing burdens on the people of
North Carolina as are insupportable, then
they should demand of the Governor that he
forthwith convene the Legislature in order to
call a State Convention of ilie sovereign people,
to lake into consideration what is best to he
done to relieve our people from the grievous
burdeus imposed upon them,
Let the people speak out, write to their
representatives in Congress—yea, hold meet
ings, and remonstrate against those ioiquit
ous schemes to enslave and starve us. If
you do not, silence will be construed into sub
mission and approval of the chains that
Congress are forging for us. We have too
b-ng implicitly trusted to such architects of
ruin as Wigfall it Co., who are now for
placing every man in the army, and all
under the control of a dictator.
" Trust them no longer. Remember their
fair promises. The dwellers in the garden of
Eden when they listened to the tempting prom
ises of Satan, were not worse deceived and
ruined than were the people of the fair, happy,
and blooming South when they listened to the
fair promises of those arch deceivers, Yancy,
Wise, &. Co.
" A heretofore contented, prosperous, and
happy people were told by them that we
must withdraw all connection from our
Northern task-masters, who were making us
pay one dollar and fifty cents fur shoes, ten
cents per yard for shirting, two dollars per
sack for salt, ten cents per pound for sugar,
the same for coffee, &c. And these same
reckless men, who are now for putting all
into the army, (except themselves and a few
favorites,) then told us that secession would
be peaceable, and there would be no war ;
that we were to have a nation of our own,
free from extortioners ; a perfect paradise,
with the tree of life—the cotton plant—in
our midst, before which all nations were to
bow down and worship, and from which
rivers of free trade were to flow to the ends
of the earth, on the bosom of which the rich
merchandise from every clime was to lie
freighted and poured down on opr laps, free
of taxation. How hare thivy deceived us!
The blond of hundreds of thousands of our
i poor children, smoking from the many buttle
Jit Ids, and the cries of slurring women and
children tell the tale'. Will our google be,
longer deceived by those false pro/diets ami
arch deceivers ? Or will they not command
the peace and staunch these rivers of blood?"
AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
The annual report for 1802, the pti),
lication of which wan authorised by
the last ('< ingress, bus lately turn, to
sonic extent, distributed. We urn in
deb ted to the lion. Jas T. Utile for a
copy. It is the first work of llm kind
issued since the organization ( ,i the
Agricultural Department aL Washing
ton, and we feel sorry that it cannot
be laid on the table of every reading
farmer in the country. We agree
with the West ( hester Record that
it is admirably gotten up, and we hope
that members of the last Congress,
through whose hands it is distributed,
will place it in the hands of their Agri
cultural Constituents without delay.
W bile we congratulate our friend,
lion. Isaac Newton, for his success in
this 3rst official effort of the kind, we
cannot see how he can follow it up
with such improvements, from year to
year, as will make each one superior
to its predecessor. Air. Newton, he
fore assuming the duties of Commis
sioner of Agriculture, was a practical
farmer of Delaware county.
Speech of General Meade.
In his speech at Philadelphia on
Tuesday evening General Meade said :
" As I said when I to-jk command of the
Army of the Potomac, I say to you now. I
have no pledges to make. W hen I return to
my army all 1 can say is that we will do the
best we can to suppress the rebellion, and
to overthrow all those whoare in arms against
our common country; to have our Sag res
pected, and have it wave over ererv foot of
ground from the Canada* to4he Rio Grande,
and the golden sands of the Pacific. The
banner of the Stars and Bars wo will num
ber among the things of the past, and the
rebellion, with all its associations, will be re
membered as things that have existed, but
have no longer any being.
" W hat we need is men. I want you here,
all of you, every man of you, however small
mav be his influence, to use that influence to
send recruits to that army. The more we
get the better will it be for that army, and
the quicker will the war be ended. The war
must be ended by hard fighting, and it be
comes every man, woman and child to work
for the increase of our armies in the field.
When that is done I trust that next summer
will come to us with peace restored to the
land, and happiness, contentment and prosi
parity pervading the entire country."
Hunting Conscripts with Dogs —The
Array and Navy Journal publishes the
following extract from a cavalry offi
cer's letter, written from Southwestern
Tennessee.
" 1 have been out with my regiment
spouting for three weeks in the region
lying between the Tennessee and Mis
sissippi rivers, northeast of Memphis.
For the first few days, we were after
a guerilla company, who were engaged
in hunting up, or hunting down, con
scripts with dogs. Brutal and horri
ble as it may seem, it is nevertheless
strictly true, and you may rely on it,
that at this very hour, hundreds oft he
people of \\ est Tennessee, Mississippi,
and Alabama are being hunted down
with blood bounds. 1 could not realize
it until by the most positive evidence
I find it true. We were once almost
within hearing of the baying ot the
hounds, and sent a scouting party, who
came very near catching some of the
devils. If they had been caught they
would have received short shrift."
With the exception of some skirm
ishing between small parties, there is
no war news of interest-
There have been captured since the
beginning of the war, 270 steamers;
15 ships; 25 barks; 30 brigs; 547 schoon
ers and 117 sloops. Total; 1045. Not
less than 40 have been beached, burn
ed or scuttled, to avoid capture.
The Rebel steamer Grey Jacket,
recently captured by the gunboat Ken
nebec, had a cargo of five hundred bales
of cotton. The steamer is valued at
8100,000.
A "reliable gentleman" who left
Richmond on 16th inst., reports that
one or two divisions of Lee's army have
reinforced Longstrect, and that the
attack on Knoxville is to be renewed,
lie also reports that the rebels are

friends go forth to do battle, and thin cut
down tiie bridges behind them so that they
may fall sacrifices to the enemy, as they
did when Gen Lee invaded Pennsylvania
lust summer, raising a revolt when you
were battling for the st irs and stripes upon

repudiate, I execrate tliesn " [Applause ]
