Kisaeoquillas Turnpike Election.
The Pennsylvania Senate.
The election in Indiana and Arm
strong has resulted in the choice of
Dr. St. Clair, the republican Union
candidate, by about 2000 majority, a
very small vote having been polled,
and thus at the end of the week the
Senate of Pennsylvania will stand pre
cisely where it politically stood when
that body met on the first Tuesday of
January—the only difference being
that the Senator elect who held the
balance of power was a prisoner at
Richmond, whom the r> bel govern
ment refused to exchange, and that
now the Senator elect will be present.
During all this time, a Speaker whom
none but a fool or an unscrupulous par
tisan would pronounce not a Speaker,
was present, but a band of sixteen
Senators calling themselves democrats,
voted against the transaction of busi
ness, and thus prevented all legislation
at an important period of our history.
Had they met as patriots, wc should
no doubt have had a State law •riviu"'
O
volunteers a bounty, and thus prevent
ed thousands from leaving and enlist
ing in other States where such provision
had been made; thousands too who
Lave left their own counties and en- '
listed in others, thus making it more j
difficult to procure men to fill quotas, '
would have been credited at home. !
A\ hat then have the people gained by !
the course of these sixteen self-styled
democrats? Ist. The time wasted has
cost the taxpayers at least a thousand
dollars a day. 2d. Almost every dis
trict has been compelled to enter into
competition with the wealth of the
cities and their corporations in raising
local bounties. 3d. The session of the ;
legislature must now either be pro-1
longed, or important legislation hur-1
ried through without proper consider
ation. Let honest men bear these I
things, with all the other evils conse
quent 011 a factious opposition to State
and National Governments in a time 1
of war, in mind, and decide for them- '
Halves whether such doings are democ
racy or toryism. Mr. Bucher, the
Senator from this district, in every in
stance voted with the .allies of Jeff
Davis.

The Enrollment Bill.
The amendatory enrollment bill was,
as we anticipated, referred to a com
mittee of conference, who reported,
and their report was passed by both
houses. With a few exceptions, it is
the same as we published last week.
The commutation remains at 8300.
The following additional provis ons
are important:
If the quota of any iiitriot shall not be
filled by the draft made in accordance with
the provisions of this act and the iaw to
which this is an amendment, further drafts
shall i e made and like proceedings had
until the quota of such district shali be
filled. Persons enrolled may furnish at
any time previous to the draft an accepts
ble substitute who is not liable to draft,
and such person thus furnishing a substi
tute shall be exempt from draft not ex
ceeding the time for which such substitute
shali have been accepted.
If any drafted person shall hereafter pay
money for the procuration of a substitute,
such payment shall operate only to relieve
the person from draft on that cull, and his
name shall be retained on the roll, and he
shall be subject to draft in filling tha r
quota, and his name shall be retained on
the roll in filling future quotas; but in no
instance shall the exemption.of any person
on account of his payment of commutation
money for the procuration of a substitute
extend beyond a year, but at the end of
one year ia every such case the name of
any person so exempted shall be enrolled
again, if not before returned to the en
rolment list under the provisions of this
section.
Any person forcibly resisting or aiding
to resist or oppose the enrolment, etc.,
shall, upon conviction thereof, in any court
competent to try the offense, he punished
by a fine not. exceeding five thousand, or
bv imprisonment net exceeding five years,
or both these punishments, in the discre
tion of the conrt. And in cases where as
sauiting, obstructing, hindering, or imped
ing shall produce the death of the officer
or other persons, the offender shall be
deemed guilty of murder, and, on convic
tion, be punished with death.
Any person drafted and liable to render
military service, who shall procure exemp
tion by fraud or take representation, is to
be deemed a deserter, to be punished as
such, and held to service for the full term
for which he was drafted, reckoning from
the time of his arrest; provided that the
Secretary of War may order the discharge
of all persons in the military service who
are under the age of 18 years at the time
of the application for their discharge, when
it shall appear, upon due proof, that such
persons are in the service without the con
sent, either express or implied, of their
parents or guardians, who shall first repay to
the Government, and to the State and local
authorities, all bounties and advance pay
which may have been paid to them.
TRAGEDY IN JOHNSTOWN. —The edi
tor of the Tribune, who witnessed the
killing of Marbourg at Johnstown 011
Friday it week, narrates the transac
tion as follows:
Immediately beneath the window which
we raised, we found two citizens whom we
recognized as Mr. Joseph Moore and Mr.
Jordan Marbourg. Mr. Moore had hold
of Mr. Marbourg, (whom he had shoved
back against the closed window-shutter of
the Post-office, next to the entrance to our
office,) about the neck with his left hand,
while in his right hand he held and flou
rished above his head a revolver pistol
Moore, in a very wild, frantic and loud
manner, charged Marbourg with having
seduced his wile and ruined him. Mar
bourg softly denied the charge—said it was
not so—that he had never injured him
Moore repeated the charge—saying that
she had made a clean breast of it—that
she had confessed it all to him—that she
Lad acknowledged the corn —that while he
had been in the service of his country, he
(Marbourg) had debauched his wife, and
he T ould be fully justified in shooting him
like a dog—in killing him. We think
all these words were used, or words to the
same effect, though perhaps not just in
the order they are here introduced, as Moore
expressed himself very frantically and in
coherently—accompanying his charges and
threats with vehement oaths. Marbourg
in the meantime made no resistance other
than repeated protestations of his inno
cence. After continuing thus for perhaps
a couple of minutes, Moore let go his hold
of Marbourg, and stepping back a pace,
leveled his pistol at his victim and tired,
the ball striking in his forehead, lie iu
stantly fired another which seemed to take
effect in his breast—then another, and
another, and—after Marbourg had falleu
to the pavement —another!—in all, live
balls, every one took effect, and three of
which inflicted mortal wounds! The first
ball, however, did its fatal errand but too
surely, and all the rest were thrown away
—it killed the man instant.'y, and his body
fell to the earth a lifeless lump, entirely
unconscious of the after shots. lie never
uttered a groan, or heaved a sigh, or moved
a muscle, so far as we saw, afterwards.
After the shooting, Moore deliberately
walked across the street to the opposite
corner, and thence, at the suggestion of a
citizen, to the office of Esq. Ilutledge,
where he surrendered himself into the
hands of the law. In the meantime, the
shocking occurrence had attracted a num
ber of citizens to the spot, who picked up
the dead body and conveyed it to the fam
ily residence, on Main street. Moore, up
on his own information, was committed by
the magistrate, and in a few minutes after,
was on his way to Ebensburg, there to
await in jail the meeting of Court. Cor
oner Ilattery was immediately summoned,
and he at once selected a jury, and pro
ceeded with an inquest, which was contin
ued in the afternoon and the next day,
taking the testimony of important witnes
ses, and finding a verdict of murder.
Marbourg was a merchant, well off,
and leaves a wife and nine children.
Moore lias been an auctioneer, is a
| shoemaker by trade, served in the nine
■ months service in company K, 136 th
regiment, and bore the reputation of
an honest, upright and peaceable man.
A Strange Phenomena.
The Trumpet, published at Elizabeth
town, Lancaster couuty, relates the follow
ing singular phenomena :
An unnatural phenomena took place in
Kapho township, three miles east of Mount
: <;oy, on 'lhursday last, at the residence of
; Martin Inly. 11 is daughter, aged eighteen
J years, died a quarter betore eight o'clock,
j After the usual ceremonies were attended
to, towards morning the attention of the
mother was drawn to the corps, when she
j discerned something unusual on the lips of
: the deceased. Attempting to remove it
| apparently a voice seemed to say, "Let it
remain." Astonishment caused an ezatn
j ination, and the fact was, there appeared
in the middle of the lips and teeth, a com
plete rose bud ready to open and on the
left side of the bud a full bloomed rose—
what florists call a double levy rose. On
close examination it was ascertained that
the bud and rose were a hard substance to
the touch, and in appearance like ivory. It
was perceptible that from the first and la>t
nights of the phenomena it enlarged
Thoughts were entertained that the removal
of the body to the burying-ground (which
was in a hearse and over a mile of rough
ro d ) might cause a separation, but the bud
and rose still remain as when firs.t seen,
only increased perceptibly in size. The
rose and bud were as white as ivory, and
supposed equally as hard.
Many persons were eye-witnesses of the
fact. The rose was very natural, and those
not knowing the fact, felt satisfied that it
was a real rose and bud placed there as an
ornament; aud reports caused many to wit
ness the fact.
The d isease of the deceased was measles;
a relapse took place attended with a cold
which caused her death.
B*3suThe receipts and expenditures,
which have been taking up consider
able room for some weeks, appear to
day for the last time. During their
publication we omitted over four col
umns of other advertising, so that our
subscribers were benefitted to that
amount in reading matter. Our sub
scription list continues to increase at
an unexampled rate, and our edition
is now greater than any ever printed
in this county since the establishment
of the first newspaper. In fact, peo
ple are beginning to discover that
those who do not take the Gazette or
advertise in it, are behind the age.
WAR NEWS,
According to rebel news Gen. Sher
man is rapidly advancing against
Mobile.
Official information has been received
that the rebels have been defeated in
an attempt to cross the Tennessee
river. The Union forces were com
manded by General Dodge, and the
rebels were supposed to belong to Itod
dy's command. Another report,
almost too good to be true, and yet
wanting confirmation, although sup
ported by figures, which are said never
to lie, gives us to believe that General
Sherman has beaten Polk at Brandon,
and captured twelve thousand pris
oners.
Brandon is twenty miles east of
Jackson, in Mississippi, and is the point
from which Grant took his departure
eastward at the moment when Slier
man's secret movements puzzled the
conjectures of ail who were engaged
in watching the expedition from Vieks
burg.
A special despatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial from Louisa, Kentucky,
says, on the 14th. Col. Gallup surprised
Col. Ferguson's command in Wayne
county, Virginia, capturing sixty pris
oners, including Ferguson, his surgeon,
and two lieutenants, eighty stand of
arms, and a large number of stolen
horses, and all the rebel supplies of
forage, ammunition, and subsistence.
It was Col. Ferguson's command that
captured Gen. Scaminon recently.
The despatch adds that sixteen hun
; dread Union prisoners were released.
Details of the operations in Florida
j of Gen. Seymour state that the ad
| vance into the interior of the State
; resulted in the capture of eight guns,
and the capture and destruction of an
immense amount of rebel property.
On hundred prisoners were captured.
| A document emanating from the rebel
Commissariat Department at Quincy,
: which fell into the hands of our troops,
reveals the desperate condition of the
enemy. Beef and bacon are entirely
exhausted throughout the south, and
from all quarters cries are arising for
relief from Florida. This circular was
intended only for private circulation
| among " the prudent people of the
South." Gen. Gillmore, in an official
order, dated Hilton Head, S. C., Feb
ruary 15, invites "loyal people, and
j such" as desire to become so under the
provisions of the President's Procla
mation of December 8, 1863, who are
now absent from their homes in East
Florida, to return there, and resume
their usuals avocations. It is the in
tention of the United States Govern
ment, and whollj' within its power, to
afford all needful protection."
A letter from a correspondent in
1 Charleston harbor gives some particu
; lars of the progress of the siege of
| Charleston. Operations were becom
ing more active. The rebel desertions
were numerous, and the crew of Gen.
Beauregard's barge, recently came in
and gave themselves up to the navy.
Two more fires had occurred in Charles
ton, and the condition of affairs in the
city was desperate The rebels were
still experimenting with their torpedo
steamers.
News from New Orleans to the 9th
inst., bv the steamer Havana, reports
that on the Sunday previous Gen. Dick
Taylor attacked our troops stationed
opposite Natchez, and was repulsed
with considerable lo>s and driven six
miles. The attack was renewed the
next morning, when the rebels were
unsuccessful, being again repulsed with
loss. Their force numbered 3,000.
Gen. Grover has scoured the country
with his cavalry in the neighborhood
ofMadisonville, across Lake Pontchar
train, broken up conscripts camps
within a circle of fifty or sixty miles,
and captured several of the enemy.
A large quantity of beef cattle, sheep
and horses have been brought in.
Gen. Kelly reports the capture of twen
ty two rebel prisoneis in Western Virginia,
one of the number being the notorious gue
rilla leader Dan Dusky and another Major
Adams.
A despatch from Gen. Butler announces
the safe arrival of five more of the officers
who escaped from Libby Prison. Thirty
eight of those escaped have so far arrived
within our lines.
The prisoners at Camp Morton, Indiana,
recently attempted to achieve their escape
by the tunnelling process. James Barn
well, of the 3d Missouri regiment, was shot
by the sentry just as he was emerging
from the passage, and the plot was discov
ered.
