The State Bounty Bill.
The Bounty bill, as it is called, has
passed both branchesot the .Legislature,
and lias probably been signed by the
Governor. The law as it passed ap
pears to us to cover the whole ground,
and counties, cities, wards, townships,
borough or school districts, are author
ized to borrow money, assess and col
lect taxes to pay bounties, not exceed
ing S'JUU a man. It dees nut however

The Infamy of Copperheadism
Tne last Lewis town Democrat
chimes in with the dregs ot the torv
press in attributing to the republican
party the doctrine of intermarriage of
white women with negroes, than which
a more villainous falsehood never was
coined outride of rebeldom. The story
originated in the New Hampshire
Patriot, and was one of those base
libels on th.e noble-minded ladies who
went south to teach the poor negroes
to read and write, and who established
Sabbath schools among the benighted
contrabands, —libels whiclf none but a
tool of Jef Davis would utter or re
peat. J ruly we have lallen upon evil
timc3 when neither Religion, Philan
trophy, Benevolence, nor pure kind
ness of heart, are sacred from the
foul-mouthed and malicious attacks of
those who are hardly a step removed
from open traitors. Lieutenant Colo

-If you deem the article in Monday's
New York Herald, on 'Sixty four Miscege

say tLat I have never, as alleged, given any
sanction to its statements, and pronounce
it an atrocious calumuy against the lady

next be charged with the same offence,

The editor of the Patent Democrat
Las been squirming about Lis circula
tion ever since loyal people set their
feet on his sheet, and to keep up his
courage tiles away copies enough to
supply all the libraries in the county,
yivts his paper to all yearly advertisers,
continues To send it where it is not
wanted, finds a pretext for abusing
every man or linn that discontinues
it, and we have no doubt would now
su: ear they are ail bona tide subscribers,
though we here give him notice we
shall test that if he toes his own mark.
Many people on reading the above,
might suppose he is in earnest, and
yet his whole object is the publication
of the list ot letters —for which he sup
poscs lie has a chance, but liow blindly
will be made to appear if he does not
find a snake hole to creep out—for he
knows full well that his statements are
all bosh. Now we name L. J. F.l
berty as one of the referees, with this
addition only that each of us place
SIOO with Win. liussell, K>q., with
written authority directing him to pay
over to the Ladies' Soldiers Aid Asso
ciation said 8100 on failure of either
party, first, to carry out, without sub
terfuge or equivocation of any kind,
his own proposition; or secondly, on
failure of either party to publish con
spicuously, without note or comment,
under the head ot the paper, for four
weeks, the circulation uf both papers
in detail in the Borough of Lewistovvn
and at all the post offices in Mitiiin
county —the circulation in the borough
to be verified by the carriers' lists
and their oaths, and that at the
various post offices to be procured bv
the referees by certificates from the
different postmasters, stating what the
circulation was in the beginning of
March and what it is now. As anv
one can readily see, this will prove the
looks, which sometimes contain many
graveyard names.
And further, if there is a good cop
perhead in Mitilin county, who stili
places any confidence in what the
Patent Democrat says, we will put up,
at any hour called upon, from 5250 to
s.">oo against half the amount, or two
dollars to one, that we wiil prove before
any justice of the peace in Lewi.-town.Ay
the hands in Loth offices vho wet down the
paper and printed it, and who of course
know what quantity was regularlyused,
that at the time said boast was made
the edition of the Democrat was a few
sheets over :>2 quires, and that ours
was ->5 quires and 12 sheets, or 78 more
than the Democrat. That edition left
us no extra papers.
We will add that since the Ist < L
January between fifty and sixtv vol
untary new subscribers have been
added to our list, and during th'e pres
ent month we have averaged nearlv
one for every working day.
The Quota of Pennsylvania.
An investigation of the official figures
discloses the fact, that when credit is
given to Pennsylvania for eniistsments i
in the regular and marine service and I
navy, her quota under the call for
500,000 men will be nearly if not quite ;
full. The statement that the deflcien- ;
cy of Pennsylvania was 74,000 is in
correct, that being the entire number
under all the calls, allowing no credit ;
to the veteran volunteers and new re- '
emits since January dl. (Jovernor
Curtin has despatched his Military
Secretary to Washington to procure j
an official correction of the mistake,
which has done much to discourage

The Xorristown Register of the
22(1 has on the outside a column and a
quarter of a continued tale and over
tive columns of the rebel congress
manifesto. Oh,democracy, what next?
.The Hon. Pierre Soule is reported
to have passed through our lines to
ward the North, having recently
married a wife and abandoned the
Rebel Confederacy. The wife of the
Kebel Senator Foote also attempted
to come through but was sent back
Grant's opinion of McClellan.
Dr. Thomson, editor Tt the Chris
tian Advocate, who lately met Gen.
Grant in the curs at Altoona. gives the
following as a part ot the conversation
had with him. It will strike most of
our readers as a truthful picture of
<reii. McClellan's career, who but fol
ios unfortunate connection with cop
perhead politicians who hoped to use
him as a presidential candidate, would
even now probably be at the head of
our armies. Dr. Thomson :
"In speaking ot Gen. McClellan he
exhibited both good sense and generosity,
while at the same time be indicated an in
tention to avoid his errors. lie attributed
Gen. McClellan's faiiure to no want of
ability or educat.ou, but to the fact that he i
r>e too rapidly, was intoxicated bv his
delation, ami afraid to make a hold step i
lest it t-LoUid be a false one. Moreover,
he unfortunately allowed himself to he j
manipulated by politicians, and bewildered
by the false lights which they held out he- j
fore him. It such be the view which the !
Lieutenant General takes, and we have no
doubt ot its correctness, there is ground to i
hope that he himself will not he the victim
o! political wire workers, but will steadily
employ his powers in the right direction
and for the right motive, namely, to save
the country. If -o, his contemporaries j
wiii honor and reward him, and posterity j
will award him renown when the political
schemes of the time shall all have been
doomed to merited oblivion.
'•General Grant is hopefulj and while lie
makes no such extravagant utterances as
General Scott arid General McClellan did. s
he \et leads us to understand that events
are in train tor a decisive spring cam

Mrs. Quarry, an inmate of the
Iluntindon County Poor House, and
said to be partially deranged, was late
ly burnt to death. Two beds were
consumed by the tire before the flames
were subdued.
—The house of Eli Miller, residing
three miles east of Mifflintown, in
Walker township, was totally destroy
ed by tire with all its contents on Fri
day a week. The fire originated f rom
a stove pipe passing through the roof.
—lt Buchor and his brethren were
in favor of the amendments allowing
soldiers to vote, why did he set in his
scat and not vote when they were fi
nally passed, after the Senate was or

—The selection of Generals War
ren, Hancock, and Sedgewiek, as com
manders of the three corps into which
the army is consolidated, meets with
universal approval. Major General
Warren has established his headquar

—Polite literature.—The Democrat's
rive columns of standing patent medi
cine and sewing machine advertise
ments last week! all too with the
exception of one. rejected at the Gazette
otlice! They are however in the right
place, for we know of no set of men
in the world more in need of being
purged than the copperheads of whom
that paper is the organ.
—A man named John Winters was
found lying hot ween the railroad tracks
in front of Wehrly's saloon, Hunting
don, on Wednesday a week—dead.—
He had been about town for sever
al days, drinking, and when last seen
at a late hour on Tuesday night, he
was verv much intoxicated.
—A tire in Cincinnati on Wednes
day evening consumed two blocks
fronting on the levee, including Pem
bcntly & Woodward's Novelty Works,
the Quartermaster's building, carpen
ter shop, and a number of stores. The
loss to the Government is estimated at
from 810,000 to 815,000. The official
papers were saved. T'ne total loss was
from 865,000 to 870,000.
—As we expected—The two eol-!
! umns of patent medicine advertise
ments (one of them more than three
fourths of a column blank) rejected
at this office, appeared in the Patent
; Medicine Advertiser last week. Yet
the fellow has the effrontery to talk
about a few displayed advertisements
of our home citizens in the Gazette,
displayed too at their request.
—The steamer America, arrived at
New York, brings foreign advices to
the 16tk. The London Times says
there is good reason to believe that the
Conference in relation to the Dano-Ger
man war will assemble. In the House
of Commons Mr. Roebuck had made a
: violent speech on American affairs,
declaring that he would be glad to see
the Federal commerce swept from the
I seas. Mr. Bright characterized the
speech as unworthy of a member of
Parliament. The Archduke Maximil
lian was visiting Queen Victoria. So
soon as he assumes the crown of Mex- '
ieo, he will agree upon a treaty with
the Emperor Napoleon. The pirate
Florida had put into Maderia, and af
ter receiving twenty tons of coal, and
provisions, was ordered off. The Uni

WAR NEWS.
Rebel Raid in Kentucky.
C a wo, March 2*5 — 7 p. m.—At 3
o'clock p. m., yesterday, the rebels
made an attack upon i'adueah. Ivv..
and the steamers Peosta, Pawpaw and
Fort Ilindman, at once opened tire.
Capt. llicks holds the tort. * The front
part oi the city is destroyed, our shells
setting tire to the houses on the levee.
A brisk cannonade was continued un
til about 10 o'clock p. in., when the
tire ot the rebels ceased, and thev re
treated. Our loss was twelve killed
and forty wounde 1. One hundred and
titty to three hundred rebels are re
ported killed, amoiiij them General
Thompson.
Fort De Russy and 11 Guns and 300
Prisoners Taken.
A dispatch from Cairo, dated March
2(5, says wo have good news from the
Red river expedition, which comes
from undoubted authority.
Gen. A. Smith landed his forces from
transports a tow iiiilys below Fort De
llussy. 1 he rebel General Dick Tay
lor promptly marched against him
with his whole force, and attacked him
in his rear. General Smith, instead of
attempting to keep up communica
tion with the river, proceeded, by forc
ed marches, toward the tort.
When Taylor saw tlio trick, lie start
ed lor the same destination, and lor a
time the race seemed doubtful. But
finally the Yankees came in about
three hours ahead, capturing the lort
and 11 guns, four of them parrots, one
eleven inch and several thirty-two
pounders; also, odd prisoners. This
gives General Smith a strong foothold
in the country, and will enable the Ad
miral to proceed to Alexandria with
lus gunboats without opposition.
We have advices from New Orleans
to the 19th inst. Alexandria, La., was
surrendered to our forces without op
position. The army in Western Lou
isiana was moving, and General Banks
was about leaving New Orleans to di
rect its operations. The prisoners cap
tured at Fort L>e Hussy had arrived at
New Orleans.
From Tennessee we have the report
of a minor reverse to the Union arms.
Four hundred of the 7th Tennessee
Cavalry were besieged at L nion Citv
by a superior force of Rebels and'were
force*l to surrender before assistance
reached them.
From ihe Department of Western
Virginia a despatch states that a whole
company of our cavalry (od Virginia)
were captured at Wingtield, in the
Kanawha, by a ho ly of Rebels, and
that the steamer Victress, with Major
Backer, on hoard, carrying important
despatches from General Sigel, nar
rowly escaped capture. It appears
that Captain Cox, commanding the
steamer, finding that the wind was too
high to go through "the Shoot." shot
off to see his wife, who resided in the
neighborhood, arid Major Backer, on
his own responsibility, started the
steamer, and thus saved himself and
his despatches.
From North Carolina.
Governor Vance, of North Carolina, de
livered recently a speech ot immense
length. It is an argument against the par
ty in North Carolina—and we judge from
the admissions in this speech that the par
ty is very strong in numbers, if not domi
nant —who desire to have a State Conven
tion called, for the purpose, as Governor
Vance says, of 'seceding from the South
ern Confederacy and repudiating the whole
thing.' His grounds of opposition to this
are chiefly these three : First, that it would
he useless to secede from the Confederacy ;
secondly, that it would he dangerous;
thirdly, that it can't he done.
4 Now,' says he, 4 permit me to ask you
i what it was that got. you into this scrape ?
! Why, you all know that it was the fact of
J your secession in the first instance. Sup
-1 pose you were sick of typhoid fever, and
had been close to death's dcor ; and, be
coming convalescent, the physician should
gravely inform you that the only plan to
effect your entire recovery, would be to
take another spell of the infernal fever ?
Would you not think he was a fool ?
[Laughter ] Secession was tried after it
had been considered for a period of forty
years, and the whole country understood it
as completely as an abstraction could be
! understood. We were promised it should
be peaceable. What is the result? Why,
it has been everything else. It has involv
ed us in a war that has no parallel upon
the pages of history. Do you expect to
find a remedy by a repetition of the dose
that brought you to bed ?'

—The New York papers mention that a

since with 515,000, raised by the retail
dealers of New Y'ork for the purpose of
defeating a certain hill, and that the com
mittee finally decided to pocket the money
themselves, rather than corrupt the legis
lators.
—As evidence of progress in the politi
cal world, the fact may be cited that only
eighteen members of Congress could be
found sufficiently tinctured with the ex
ploded theories cf antiquity to vote in favor
of striking out the words 'Slavery and
involuntary servitude is forever prohibited,'
from the hill enabling the Territory of
Colorado to form a State.
—Owen Loveioy, tiro member of

—There is not a vvord of truth in
the statement in the Untrue I>ein<crat
that a "caucus was held in Marks &
\\ illis's mill" on the morning of the
spring election by the candidates or
any other pet sons. It is probably but
another dirty attempt to Mack-mail
that establishment into patronizing
\ allumiigham's tory sheet.and to cover
his own defeat a> a school director, as
it is a notorious tact that he got up
. tlie only mixed ticket seen 011 the day
