By a letter firom Cupt. A. G.
Dickey, dated Jacksonville, Florida,
1' ebruary 2b, 18b4, to Joseph Alexan
der, Esq., wo learn that he was woun
ded in the face by a shell, but without
any bones being broken, and remained
in command half an hour afterwards,
when he retired. He speaks highly of
his soldiers, who he says'did not re
treat until ordered. The heroic valor
displayed by these despised eons of Af
rica may be inferred from the fact that
out of fifty men he took into action
10 were killed, 5 missing, supposed to
be killed, and 21 wounded.
The rebel Congress has adjourned. Its
acts have passed into the history of that
infamous rebellion which has proved a de
lusion and a snare to them, as well as a
griei and trouble to us. Amongst the bills
passed were four of a general character,
intended to accomplish, by desperate means,
the salvation of their failing cause—we
mean the Conscription, Tax, and Curren
cy Bills, and the suspension of Habeas
Corpus.
—Tho latest geographical invention
is that making Hollidaysburg a central
point in this congressional district.
WAR NEWS.
The city papers have columns ol
pretended war news, most of which is
about as reliable as "yaller kiver" lit
erature. We give below all that we
can gather from numerous confused
accounts.
The great raid of Gen. Kilpifriek lias
terminated with his arrival within Gen.
Butler's lines on the Peninsula He failed
in the effort to penetrate into Richmond.
As we had no high expectations of such a
result, we are not disappointed. Though
he did not succeed in his main purpose,
General Kilpatrick did a vast amount of
damage to the enemy, destroying their
railroad communications, and also the
canal and mills on the James river, and
brought off his command without serious
damage. His loss is less than one hundred
and fifty, but we have to regret that among
this number are Colonels Dahlgren (son of
the Admiral,) Litchfield and Cook. The
two first named are supposed to be prison
ers.
Col. Pahlgren's detachment is said to lmve
failed in its object, which was to penetrate
Richmond from the south side, whilst Gen.
Kilpatrick maie no attack from the north,
on account of the treachery of a negro guide,
by whom they were led toward Goochland,
directly awav from Richmond. This is a
rather doubtful story. The negro, however,
was hung. On his route Gen. Kilpatrick
damaged the railroads and destroyed large
amounts of Rebel stores. At Fredericksball
he captured a Colonel and several officers
who were holding a court martial. Gen. Lee
had pased through on the railway only an
hour previous. The misdirecting of Colonel
Dahlgren's command delayed the attack, and
put the rebels on the alert. Gen. Kilpatrick
forced his way through the first line of in
trenehments, but the second lines were too
6trongly manned for his force; and be wisely
retired. Over five hundred prisoners were
captured, hut it was impossible to bring them
in. Considerable damage was done to the
James River Canal, and several Hour mills
were burnt.
[Col Dablgren it is now reported is killed.]
An arrival at New York from New Orleans
announces that Admiral Farragut was opera l
ting actively against Mobile. The mortar
and gunboat fleet were bombarding Fort Pow
ell, at the entrance to Grant's Pass, and it
was believed that it would nut hold out long.
The rebel rani Tennessee was inside Mobile
Bay, near Fort Morgan. Troops were beirv
forwarded from New Orleans to take part in
the attack on Mobile.
The reports as to Gen. Sherman's move
ments are still contradictory. One despatch
reports that Gen. MePhersun's Corps had ar
rived at Jackson. Mississippi, and the whole
of the expeditionary force would soon return
there. Another account is that after the
failure of Gen Smith's cavalry expedition to
join him at Meridian, Gen "Sherman, bv a
rapid move, turned towards Aherbeen and
Columbus, in the richest part of Eastern Mis
sissippi, where bis army was sure to find an
abundance of provisions. By this he turned
his back upon Selma and Mobile, marched
toward Logan, who had advanced to meet
him, and, by an audacious stroke of strategy,
placed himself a distance of one hundred
miles from Johnston's flank, now menaced
by his advance. The despatch says that ru
mor spread concerning the attack upon Mo
bile and Selma by Sherman was simply meant
to divert public attention from the real object
of the expedtion, which aims at an invasion
of Georgia somewhere between Trentun and
Lafayette.
A party of Rebels, who are said to have
come out of the Rappahannock River in an
nrmed sloop, have been making a bold and
successful raid in the Chesapeake Bay. They
visited Cherrystone, on the Eastern Shore of
Virginia, and captured two Government tugs,
said to be the Titian and the lola, though
there is some doubt about the names of the
vessels. One of the tugs was burnt and the
crew paroled.
The town of Pensacola, Florida, has been
burnt by the rebels, in order to prevent our
troops from occupying it.
A despatch from headquarters, \Y*t Vir
ginia, reports heavy movements of rebel
troops eastward over the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad, probably Longstreet's com
mand.
The Copperheads at Work.
In the Senate of this State, on Fri
day last, the copperheads, including
Bucher, deliberately put on record
their opposition to an increase of the
pay of private soldiers, as will be seen
by the following proceedings :
Resolved by the Senate and House of
Rej)restnfulivcs of the. Comnioittcmllh of
Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met,
and it is hereby enacted by the authority of
the static, 1 hat our representatives in
Congress be requested to vote for, and use
their influence for the passage of a law
increasing the pay of private soldiers and
non commissioned officers in the ariuy of
the United States.
On the final passage of the bill,
The yeas and nays were required by Mr. |
Beardslee and Mr. Clymer, and were as
follow, viz:
YEAS— -Messrs. Cliampneys, Connell, '
Punlap, I-leming. Graham, Iloge, House
bolder, -Johnson, Kinsey, Lowry, McCand- I
less, Nichols, Ridgway, St. Clair. Turrell, 1
Wilson, Wcrthington and Penney, Speak
er—lß. \
NAYS— Messrs Beardslee, Bucher. Cly-1
raer, Donovau, Glatz, Hopkins, Larnbertou,
Latta, McSherry, Montgomery, Reilly,
Smith, Stark, Stein and Wallace—ls.
So the bill passed finally.
The proceedings on sundry amend- j
ments were as follows ;
A joint resolution proposing certain amend- j
ments to the Constitution.
Be it resolved by the Senate and House I
r^se ntatiues oj the Commonwealth 1
of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, j
That the following amendment be proposed
to the Constitution of the Commonwealth,
in accordance with the provisions of the
tenth article thereof:
There shall be an additional section to '
the third article of the Constitution, to be
designated as section four, as follows:
SECTION IV. Whenever any of the
qualified electors of this Commonwealth
shall be in any actual military service un-1
der a requisition from the President of the
I nited States, or by the authority of this
< ommoowealth. such electors may exercise
the right of suffrage in, all elections of the
citizens, under such regulations as are or j
shall he prescribed by 'law, as fully as if'
they were present at their usual place of 1
election.
SECTION 11. There shall he two addi
' tinoal sections to the eleventh article of
i the Constitution, to Le designated as sec
; tion eight and nine, as follows :
i SECTION \ 111. No bill shall be passed
by the Legislature containing more than
i one subject, which shall be clearly express
ed in the title, except appropriation bills
SECTION IX. No bill shall be passed
by the Legislature granting any powers or
privileges in any case where the authority
to grant such powers or privileges has been
or may hereafter be conferred upon the
courts of the Commonwealth.
On agreeing to the title.
Agreeable to the provisions of the Con
stitution, the yeas and nays were required,
and were as follow, viz:
N EAS Messrs. Champneys, Connell,
Dunlap, Fleming, Graham, Hoge, House
holder. Johnson, Ivinsey, Lowry, MeCand
!ess, Nichols. Rid-way, St. Clair, Turrell,
Wilson, Worthington and Penney, Speak
er—lß
NAYS —Messrs. Beardslee, Donovan,
Glatz, Lamberton, Latta, Montgomery,
Smith, and Wallace—lo.
So the title was agreed to, a majority of
the whole body having voted therefor.
Every Patent Democrat but Kinsey,
of Bucks county, voted against increas
ing the pay of the soldiers.
Kinsey, Democratic Senator, voted
in the affirmative—and five Democrat
ic Senators dodging the question—by
which they a mitted the infamy of
the course adopted by- their leaders in
the Senate. We submit these extracts
from the record, to the calm consider
ation of tie people of Pennsylvania—
to the serious reflection of the men
who are perilling their lives in defence
of the national honor, and perpetuity j
of the National Government. They
need no comment further than this, :
that if there was a tory in the revolu- !
tion, or a blue-light traitor in the war
of ISI2, either would have voted pre
cisely as these men did.
