The Gold Question.
It'any new argument, says the Har
ris burg Telegraph, was wanting to in
duce Congress to pass a law punishing
speculations in gold, the fabulous price
to which that article has been pushed
in the New York market, affords the
justification. Nothing more criminal
ly injurious to the country, than the
spirit of speculation now rife in the
large commercial cities, was ever de
vised. A few speculators, drunken
and crazed with the lust of gain, are
actually rushing the country to hope
less ruin, while the g. eat mass are
either periling their lives or sacrificing
their comfort for the general good.
Air. Tnaddeus Stevens proposes to put
an cud to all this species of robbery bv
punishing the perpetrators tho same j
as the highwayman is made to suffer.
One thing is very certain : Congress
must either devise means to put an
end to this speculation, or that bodv
must furnish material to teed and
clothe tlie poor, as some of our officers
supplied the poor of the South. Un
der the influences ot the New York
and Philadelphia speculators, the la
borer and the mechanics, the great
eomsuiuing masses of the nation, are
now being shamefully robbed. We
can see no difference between the crime
of speculating in the necessaries of the
people and the crime of treason ; while
the wretch who would grind the face
of the poor to put money in his pock
et would also guillotine his Govern
ment to add a temporary notoriety to
his name.
—Cold is quoted at 70 a 71.
Glad to hear it—That a leading New
York stock gambler has tailed.
—-55,000,000 were subscribed to the
10-40 loan on Monday.
—The Supi'omo Court of Ohio has
decided that the law allowing soldiers
to vote is constitutional
-Moore, who killed Marbourg at
Johnstown some months since has been
unconditionally pardoned.
—The demand for the Gazette has
been so great during the past few !
m eeks, that we have been printing i
over 900 copies.
—Hon. Isaac Newton, the indefati- j
gable principal of the Agricultural De
partment, will accept our thanks for i
a variety of garden seeds.
The President, in a noble speech
at Baltimore on Monday, declared that:
if the murder of our troops at Port
Pillow can be substantiated, he will
mete out a just retribution.
Judge \\ oods. who heretofore we !
believe never did any thing in his life j
that met with the approval of the
Democrat, has at last turned up"ri<rht."
We would advise him to
seit closely, as praise in that sheet is
rather suspicious.
—On Monday last three regiments
of colored troops paraded the streets !
ot Baltimore, amid cheers and waving
of handkerchiefs. Just three years
ago our white soldiers going to the
defence of the capital, were stoned,
clubbed and shot at by Jet! Davis's
bleached 'niggers' of that city!
—Yallandigham some time ago is
sued his edict that if his friends were I
mobbed by the soldiers for disloyalty,
they should mob some loyal "man,
and the Democrat advices "its read
ere to follow the tory's counsel!
How law-abiding these constitutional i
I nion men are—how patriotic—and
how Christian !
—The gold gamblers last week sue- j
ceeded one day in running up the
premium to 88, but it immediately
fell 12 percent. On the strength of
this gumbliug, tho prices of groceries
and other necessaries of life were con
siderably advanced. The prevailing
sentiment against speculators of all
kinds seems to be a wish they raav be
totally ruined, be compelled" to spend
tho remaiuder of their days in the i
poor bouso, and be buried like crimi- j
nals . j
Free Speech and Treason
Hardly a year ago every self-styled
democratic paper in Pennsylvania ex
cept a few pensioned by Jeff Davis
and his New York friends, were bawl
ing with all rheir might for a "vigor
ous prosecution of the war," but no
sooner were men called for to do I hi*
than they veered round into cowardly
peace advocates, and not one of these
papers can now be opened which has
not articles calling this an abolition
war, extolling the South, censuring
the Government, or sneering at high
prices, taxes, ic. Emboldened by these
papers, the copperheads in Congress
begin to show their forked tongues,
and in the guise ot '-free speech" are
uttering the most unblushing treason
Here is what Air. Long of Ohio said
week before last in Congress :
lie would mnke any reasonable sacrifice to
bring back the seeeded States, but not use
for the union could exist only in the
hearts and with the consent of the people.
If the Democratic party were now in power
they could not restore the union of the States
There were only two questions : First, the
recognition of the Confederacy, and secondly,
the continuation of the war for the subjuga
tion of the South. Of the ttco he preferred the
former, and he believed the Democratic party
were for peace and would be placed in a false
position if they nominated a war candidate
Air. Harris of Maryland, another of
the same stripe, said :
He indorsed every word that the gentle
man from Ohio (Mr. Long) had uttered, and
would stand by him for weal or woe. You
say that the gentleman (Mr. Long) meant
treason at the very moment that you say he
was sincere and honest, lie was willing to
go with his friend (Mr. Long) anywhere on
this issue. Could not a man say when a war
is carried on to exterminate a people, that he
would rather have peace, thus saving lives on
both sides ? We were a ground down peo '
pie. He (Mr.Harris) was a peace man—a rad
ical peace man. He was for recognizing the
Southern confederacy, and for acquiescing in
the doctrine of Secession. He had a hope,
hut it was not in this House. He hoped a
tornado would co'tne and sweep you from
power, and give it to honest men who hate j
feelings of humanity and some regard for
the principles of their fathers. War would
never bring you a termination worth a cent
lie was for peace and Union too. [Laught
ter.] He was a better man than any of them. !
[Renewed laughter ] If we cannot make ;
peace, let us have two splendid governments j
—two happy governments He was a slave
holder, and was so still, if all his slaves had
not been stolen from him. He looked on
those who opposed slavery as madmen. He
compassionated them. If Slavery was a
sin he was willing to bear it. The north |
have been deceived by stereotype falsehoods. !
When this war commenced Seward said it
could be put down in sixty days. Instead of
70-000 men ending it, you have called for
half a million soldiers to serve a king who '
is the war power. The south ask you to leave I
them in peace, but now you say you will
bring them into subjection. That is not done
yet, and God Almighty grant that it never
may be. I hope you will never subjugate
the South. The President has proved him
self unlit to be intrusted with moneyed power.
Such sentiments, only in different
language, are inculcated weekly by the
Lewistown Democrat, and what is
most worthy of note is that all the I
men who thus talk arc tooth and nail :
for AlcClellan for President ! The j
true democrats of this county,, who are '
in favor of putting down the rebellion j
at all hazards, may well pause be-;
fore they act in concert with these j
modern Benedict Arnolds
Is it any wonder that under such
teachings mobs assemble in the North
and shoot down soldiers in cold blood,
as was recently done in Illinois?
—The Democrat, which could hard
ly publish a political truth even if it
tried to do so, says the Maryland elec
tion was carried by "fraud and milita
ry interference." No better comment
to stamp this falsehood can be given
than the official returns of three
counties in the lines of our army to
wit:
St. Mary, Cop^ he * J -
Montgomery 51a
Aune Arundel 415 ijgj
1124 2864
The first named is occupied by Union
forces \\ ho guard the lower Potomac,
the second adjoins the District of Col
umbia. and is but a few miles from
Washington, and the third embraces
the region between Baltimore and
Annapolis, and although occupied and
surrounded by thousands of Union
troops, theso three counties give 1540
copporhead majority out of less than
4000 votes, while Washington and Ce
cil,in neither ot which are there troops
of any account, give nearly 400< Union
majority. The fact is the Democrat
has got so low that it can no longer
even tell a plausible "lie."
1 be Selinsgrove Times, the organ
of patent democracy in Snyder county
says; "No intelligent "and uprio-ht
man, whether he be a democrat or a
republican, will ever consent to the
doctrine ot allowing soldiers to vote in
their camps, especially when outside
ot their own state."
—As an instance of the speculative
insanity now afloat, we learn that a
company which some time ago pur-
M 1" .. ""V.' Sinki "S Valley Lead
P ' m j r county, lias disposed
or stock to the amount of 81.000 OOOat
?5 per share in New York and Phila
delphia. These "mines" were worked
many years ago-even before the rev
olution—since which it has been found
in small quantities only; nor are there
any indications that lead exists there
in large quantities.
WAR NEWS,
THE CAPTURE OF FORT PILLOW.
Official Dispatch from Gen Sherman.
WASHINGTON, April 16.
I Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock,
despatches were received here from
j General Sherman confirming the news
j of the surrender of Fort Pillow and
' the brutal conduct of the rebels im
mediately afterwards, which bids fair
; to be amply retaliated in that quarter
! ii due time.
The Star according to General
Sherman's report, our loss was 50
white troops killed and 100 wounded,
and 300 black troops murdered in cold
blood after the surrender.
lort Pillow is an isolated post of no
value whatever to the defence of Col
umbus, and utterly untenable by the
| rebels, who have no. doubt left that
j vicinity ere this, having been disap
i pointed, with considerable loss, in the
; object of their raid thither, which was
the capture of Columbus, whence they
: were promptly and severely repulsed,
! with no loss to us.
The rebels, according to the official
dispatch received here last evening,
effected nothing at Paducah, losing a
soldier killed and wounded for every
horse they sueceded in stealing, and
doing us no other damage than*bv a
few thefts.
It is believed that Forrest's raiders
will next appear in the vicinity of
Memphis where they can effect no more
than they did at Columbus and Padu
cah, and stand a fair chance, indeed, of
finding themselves surrounded bv over
whelming superior forces.
From all that can be gathered of
this aflair, it is evident that somebody
is seriously to blame. Forrest. Ims
been moving about between Paducah
and Columbus lor the last-fortnight,
and if our commander in that depart
ment had shown the least amount of
energy or ability both places might
have been rendered secure against
attack. I here is a large force of troops
at Cairo, only twenty miles from Col
umbus, and a fleet of gunboats on the
river. But Fort Hallcck seems nei
ther to have been reinforced from Cairo,
nor were there any gunboats present
to assist in its defence. The President
or a court martial ought to make short
work ol all officers this spring who in
the slighest degree fail in their duty,
or exhibit incompetency.
Lute advices Iroin Orleans—
to the 10th instant—state that the
reported sinking of the rebel ram Ten
nesseoe in Mobile Bay was a canard.
The Louisiana Free State Convention
had completed its organization, and by
a nearly unanimous vote decided that
all the members should take the oath
of allegiance contained in President j
Lincoln's Amnesty Proclamation. A !
disastrous lire occurred on the night of
the Bth instant, involving a loss of
several hundred thousand dollars.
A despatch, dated Pilot Knob. April
! 8, from Lieutenant Colour! J. X. Jler
; dor, eomnianding'the po.-t, states that
j Captain Milks, 3d Cavalry, Missouri
| State Militia, stationed at Farniington,
j Missouri, had just returned from Prai
! rie-du-Bacher, Illinois, where he was
| sent, with some members of the Cap-
I tain's company, after some bandits.
He reports a complete success, having
j had a tight with a notorious gang of
1 robbers, killed three, and wounded
j several, among them the notorious
| bushwhacker and guerilla chief, John
! Highly, who had long been the terror
j of that part of the State.
Accounts from the Army of the Po-
I tomac say that the 3d Division of the
2d Corps, commanded by Gen. Birney,
was reviewed on Thursday by Gen.
Hancock, and presented a splendid
1 appearance. Gen. Meade was present
and complimented the division and its
| Commander. After the review the
General partook of refreshments with
John M. Bolts, at his invitation, and
afterward with Gen. Birney. The day j
was beautiful.
A letter from Point Lookout states j
that Gen. llinks, commanding at that j
post, on Thursday evening returned .
from a successful expedition into Vir- ;
ginia, having captured 850,000 worth j
of tobacco and a gang of blockade ;
runners. The tobacco seems to have j
been on its way from Bichmond to
Baltimore.
By an arrival from New Orleans we
have advices from the Bed river expe- i
dition to the sth instant. The report
of a rebel attack on Alexandria and of j
a fight there, with serious loss on both
sides, was a fabrication. No further
news of the progress of the expedition
is given.
The Greenville Conventjon of 1861
re-assembled at Knoxville, Tennessee,
on the 12th. About one hundred and
sixty delegates reported in person,
representing twenty-two counties.
The President, T. A. Nelson, on open
ing the Convention, made an explana
tory speech and resigned the chair. I
William Heskell was chosen President.
Andy Johnson made a strong Emanci
pation speech, and a flag staff was
erected on the spot where the rebels
destroyed the old Liberty pole in 1861.
The United States gunboat Chenango
whilst passing Fort Fafayette in New
York harbor, exploded her boiler, by
which forty of her crew were scalded,
sonie of whom died.
THE FORT PI I/LOW BUTCHERY.
MEMPHIS, April, 17. —There is not
much said, but there is a general grit
ting of teeth among the officers here
when the massacre of the brave garri
son of Fort Pillow is alluded to. Sev
eral officers have been heard to say
that, unless the Govornmont takes rc
tributivo steps, they will consider it
their duty to shoot e\ory man ot For
rest s command that they meet, and
to take no prisoners. I'he soldiers
threaten to shoot Forrest's men now
in the Irwin prison if they can pet a
chance. This is the general leeling.
An affidavit taken at Cairo declares
that the quarter-master of the 13th
Tennessee Cavalry was, while living,
nailed to a board by the rebels, and
thrown into the flames of a burning
building at Fort Pillow.
As a specimen of the Democrat's
"largest circulation," we give the fol
lowing: Jn Lewistown the Democrat's
list is about 120—the Gazette's 167.
e shall before long have a full list of
the circulation of both papers at tiff
the post offices in the county, when, if
the falsehood at the head of the Dem
crat is not taken down, we shall pub
lish it.
| —The Supreme Court of this State,
in case of Lycoming County vs. John
; A. Gamble, lias decided that not only
| stocks held in the West Branch and
Susquehanna ('anal Company, are made
| taxable, but "all" stocks held by indi
| viduals residing in the county, in any
| corporations except Banks, which have
a special exemption by act of the Leg
islature, thus bringing in a very large
amount of taxable property not here
tofore reached by the taxing power.
The draft it appears, has not been
postponed. The Provost Marshal
Genera! telegraphs to General Hays,
New \ork, that credit will be given
for both veterans and recruits, to in
clude the 15th of April, and orders him
to he prepared to make the draft im
mediately thereafter in districts then
deficient, hut not to commence until
further orders. We presume from
this that no draft drill be made until
all the credits are given on the three
calls, for to do otherwise would be an
act of injustice to many districts
whose entire credits cover their whole
quotas, but would leave them deficient
as to the first and second.
