Bucher and his assr eiate copperheads did not vote for officers, still contend ing that Mr. Penny is not Speaker, yet both before and after recognized him as such by voting against leave to read a bill allowing the soldiers to vote at. the next election—against opening the sessions with prayer—against adopting rules, and in fact against everything else. The only way to bring these copperheads right will be to offer some bill well saturated with whisky, a temptation which Clymer and his friends will hardly he able to resist. Selling Soldiers. Among the mean acts which have lately transpired is that of officers re cruiting men with the understanding that they are to be credited to a cer tain locality, and then selling them to some shark agent in another county. .A. iiuQsaetion oi this kind took place in Johnstown, a short time ago, by which titty or sixty men who were to be credited to that place, were taken to Harrisburg and then sold by the captain to a Chester county shark the men receiving ten dollars moi e than they had agreed to take from Johns town, and the captain and probably the shark together pocketing the sur plus, 814U it is said, for each man. This case has awakened an indigna tion that will we judge result in the disgraceful dismissal of this captain, and we hope every other officer guilty of the same meanness. Selling ne groes has always been bad enough, but selling white men like slaves smacks too much of Algerineism to bo tolerated. Another act of puppyism also ex tensively carried on, is the practice of some sharpers from the lower counties frequenting Provost-Marshal's neigh borhoods, and when men are brought there to be sworn in, offering them higher bounties than they had agreed to take. In this way we hear it said that Sheriff Contnor, who had taken some men from Menno township to Hollidaysburg, was deprived of several —an act which no one but a common scoundrel or a pickpocket would be guilty of. If any of this class are caught in Mifflin county we would rec commend a dose of tar and feathers, externally applied. —An auction sale of condemned ! government horses will take place at ! Altoona on the 11th of March. —The tavernkeepers of Mifflintown j have raised the price of whisky and , other swill to ten cents a drink. —A gang of counterfeiters of postal currency has been broken up in Cin- j cinnati, and the parties arrested. —The court house at Newcastle, In diana, was destroyed by fire on Satur- j day. It was the work of an incen- ' diary. —St. Clair's majority for Senator in the Indiana district is 1991, the largest ever given to a candidate ibr the Senate. —Three hundred condemned horses, are advertised to be sold by the Gov ernment, in Mifflintown, on Friday, March 4th. —Fourteen deserters from the Reb els, bringing their muskets with them, came in to the Army of the Potomac on Friday. —Removed—The Provost Marshal's office from Huntingdon to Hollidays burg; and if we are to credit the llol lidaysburg Standard, Allenville has been removed to Huntingdon county. The New York papers are begin ning to discuss who should be the i ext President ? They might save them selves all trouble, as the people have already settled the matter with Abra ham Lincoln. —Godey's Lady's Book for March is well stored with choice literature, fine engravings, and numerous illustra tions for the ladies.

American affairs and the ram question had been debated in Parliament, but without any special result. Lord Pal merston defended the action of our Government in relation to the seizure of British vessels, and said that we had invariably received England's rep resentations in a spirit of equity and justice. No more serious fightinghad occurred in Denmark, though the Ger mans continued to send forward rein forcements and were preparing to at tack Alsen. It is confirmed that Eng land, supported by France, Russia and Sweden, had proposed an armistice on the basis of the evacuation of all of Sehleswig by the Danes, except the island of Alsen. The result was not known, but it was reported that Aus tria accepted the proposition. Prussia, on the other hand, is reported to have refused her consent. Aged Negro Burned to Death. A colored centenarian, named Philip Moore, residing in a cabin at the loot of the mountain, near Monroe, Fayette coun ty, came to his death one day last week by his cabin taking lire while he was asleep. His charred remains were found in the smoking embers near the door, indicating that he had endeavored to escape from the burning building. The Uniontown Stan dard says that Philip was 105 years of age, and up to his 75th year enjoyed all the sweets of 'the divine institution.' Hut on the majority of his young massa, the old man having 'shuffled off this mortal coil'— young massa kindly offered him his free dom. Philip, however, did not give his young master very much credit for his ap parent liberality. He said he was consid ered too old to work any more, and young tnassa offered him his freedom on condition that he would leave the State and never come back again. Having a daughter in Fayette county he concluded he would try the pleasures of freedom, and found his way to this side of the mountains, where, for thirty years, he made out to keep body and soul together, notwithstanding it was supposed that his blood and sweat, had been mainly extracted by the 'divine institution.' lie was never known to ' sigh for the flesh pots of Egypt,' or 'to go back to beggarly elements.' His philosophy never reached the high state of refinement which discov ers that the normal condition of the labor ing man is slavery. THE MARKETS.

Extracts from Rebel pa pers admit that Polk has been 'sadly out-generaled' by Sherman. Reports brought into Memphis say that Gen Smith's cavalry expedition, after a severe tight at West Point, Mississippi, had been forced to hill back. It is quite probable that this falling back is a part ol the plan for the safety of General Sherman's march. If the Rebel Generals Forrest, Adams, L'ee and Roddy have all combined to drive Gen. Smith back upon Memphis, then we may reasonably conclude that General Sherman's rear lias been un molested by anserious cavalry at tack. Our advices from Geueral Grant's army report the return of our forces to funnel llill, which point will be held hereafter. General Grant's de monstration, it is said, was a recon noissance in force to prevent the Reb els from sending reinforcements to act against General Sherman. In this it was entirely successful. Claiborne's Division, which had been sent to rein force General Polk, was recalled, and the fact developed that the enemy vvere in full force at Dalton. Long street, it is stated, is falling back to Atlanta, Georgia, and part of his force is said to have reached there on the 25th. This needs confirmation. The Fulton, from Port Royal, brings news of the defeat of General Sey mour on the 20th instant, near Lake City, Florida. Lake City, on some ol the maps, bears the name of ' Alliga tor.' It is on the railroad connecting Jacksonville and Tallahassee, and fifty - tive miles west of Jacksonville. The country thereabouts is low and wooded, affording man}- opportunities of am bushing and surprising an advancing part}-, and it is stated by one account that our forces, through the indiscre tion of General Seymour, were caught in a trap. It is very likely that the extent of the disaster has been exag gerated. General Gillmore has seen tit to keep back all accounts of this battle, and to close up all avenues to the people who are so deeply interest ed. Even the list of kilied and woun ded was retained until the next steam er, thus prolonging the anxiety and grief of those who have friends in the Department and among the troops en gaged. 13}- this carefulness on his part, exaggerated accounts are spread, rumors become facts, and a reverse is magnified into a serious disaster. Our losses were certainly heavy, as two hundred and forty of the wounded had arrived at Hilton Head. On the 18th instant the sloop-of-war Housa tonic, one of the blockading fleet off Charlston Bar, was blown up by a Rebel torpedo, which came out Beach Inlet and approached within sixty yards before it was discovered. The Housatonic sank in three minutes after the explosion, in twenty-eight feet of water. Captain Pickering was wounded, and two ensigns and three seamen lost. The Housatonic was a fine vessel of twelve hundred tons, and carried a battery of thirteen guns.
