KhScienjl, to re uuburye the fund so advanc ed, without undulv diminishing the Sink ing Fund I have deemed it advisable nut to advertise for proposals for the loan, and recommend the of an act directing the payment to oe made out ol the moneys ii the Treasury. As the omission of Congress to act on this subject involved- an unprecedented disregard of the gi.ud f iitb oi the National authorities. I recommend that the Legisla ture fake measures lor procuring an ap propriation at the nes f session of Congress The Revenue Rut passed at the last ses sion has been found to be defective in sev eral points, and I recommend a careful and immediate levision of it The Bounty Bill passed at the last ses sion is found to be defective and unju-t in many of its provisions, and from the man ner in which it is administered iD some parts of the F'tafe, oppressive on the people. I therefore recommend a careful revision of it. As the present session has been called for the consideration of matters of viral public importance, I commend them to your earnest and exclusive attention. A. Or. CURTIS. THE GAZETTE. LEWrSTOWN, PA.

N\c call the attention of our readers to the advertisement for this new loan to the government, which pre sents unusual advantages to the hold er, being convertible into cash or 5-20 gold interest bonds at the end of three years. They are also free from all lo cal taxation, an item now worth from two to four per cent. As to security, nearly aL active credits are now based on Government securities. Banks of issue and Savings banks hold them in large quantities—in many ea ses, more than the entire amount of i their capitals—and they hold them as the very best and strongest invest ment they could possibly make. If it were possible to contemplate the finan cial failure of tlie Government, no bank would be any better or safer. Savings Banks already have a large part of their assets invested in Government securities. As a rule they allow but five per cent, interest, and can only pay principal or interest in greenbacks j or bills of State Ranks,—for every note I or bond held by them and due before 1 the resumption of specie payments is j payable in Government legal tender paper. Banks of issue and discount can not ask or get anything better in payment of customers' notes, and they prefer it to all other, for they are com pelled to redeem their own notes in that paper as the circulating medium next to specie in value. By the issue of this loan the U. S. Treasury becomes a Savings bunk for the people. There are none stronger—none more solvent. : and not one that pays so liberally for the use of money. You may deposit ! fifty dollars or fifty thousand. The more you put in, the more you will aid and strengthen the Government, and the more valuable will be the re maining currency of the country. Ihe Mauch Chunk Gazette says that the patriotism of a majority of the moneyed men of that town "can be put into the heart of a flv and not half fill it." Ditto. —The majority for the soldiers' right to vote is over 94,000 ! The Nomination for Congress The congressional conferees having terminated their labors by nominating A. A. BARKER, Esq., of Cambria coun ty, there seems to be a general acqui escence that, under the circumstances, it was the best that could have been made. It is now therefore incumbent on the Union men of the district to lay aside all private bickerings and personal dissensions, and go to work to elect hirn. With acy degree of una minity and active co-operation thus can easily be done; but as usual in Mich elections it will require a thorough organization. Mr. Barker himself is a working man. and will do his share, for we know whatever he undertakes he goes through without regard to the amount of labor to be performed. Let all therefore who have success at heart aid him in his efforts, and this district will be represented in the next Con gress by an energetic Union man who believes rebels to be rebels, and vote to treat them as such. The patent democratic press is al ready making attacks on our candi date in the usual inconsistent way of that part}*. Thus while the Lewis town Democrat charges Mr. Barker with being a "lumberman from Maine/' : the Hollidaysburg Standard locates him as "from Massachusetts," state ments which at once show they know nothing about him. Being a working man, giving employment to hundreds 1 at liberal wages, he is also sneered at as unfitted by nature and education for Congress. We suppose it he was a lawyer who knew how to grow rich by fleecing clients, shaving notes, and doing a great many other things cal culated to make the rich richer and poor poorer, he would be far more ac ceptable and just the man ! The Peace Cry. We had proposed noticing the ex traordinary statements of the Demo crat that the rebels had offered to make peace and come back into the Union, when the following was handed to us by a subscriber to that paper: LEWISTOWN, Aug. 11. 1 864. Mr. 11. Frysinger, Ed. of True Item oera t: In your issue of yesterday, 2d page, 3d column, about the middle of the sth para graph, you say "the rebela now propose to make peace and submit to a restoration of the Union on. the basis of the Constitution as made by our Fathers." Now as this is the first announcement I and others of your readers have had of the . matter, will you please furnish us with your : authority for this assertion iu your next i issue;' That the matter stated above should be fact is so strauge, especially as their cause : has not grown much worse since Jef Davia i declared to Mr. Gilmore tf Boston less i than a month ago, in Richmond, in a con versation with hiui upon the occasion of his visit there in connection with Colonel Jaques, "This war must go or. till the last of this generation falls in his tracks and : his children seize his musket and tiithtour battles, unless you acknowledge our right to seif government. We are not fighting I for slavery but independence, and that or ex j termination we will have " By giving us your authority in your next paper, you will greatly ol lige A SUBSCRIBER. It is not likely the Democrat will give any authority for its statements, | which are of course only intended to delude its reaedrs through the country. Mo proposition ever was made by any authorized agent of the rebel govern- ! mcnt to treat for peace except on the ' terms of DISUNION*, and any assertion to the contrary is false. The men who j pro.'essed to he agents of that govern ment at Niagara having been caught i in a lie at the start, President Lincoln did right in refusing to give them safe conduct, for such fellows would of course also play the sky. To show how utterly groundless this baseless j fabric of a Vision is, let us take a case | on the other side .* Suppose then Gen. ! James Burns and Gen John Ross : would go near the rebel linos about j Richmond, send word to the mighty | Jef that thoy have come to make peace, and ask a safe conduct to the confederate capital. " Certainly," says j Jeff, "I am ready to make peace on the basis of being let alone, but, i gentlemen, whore's your authority— i did Lincoln send you?" "Hem! Well no, not exactly," say* Messrs. Burns i and Ross, " but we know that our gov- j ernrnent and people are anxious to < lose this war, and we think you and wo could fix it up to the satisfaction of all concerned." Now, reader, what would Jef Davis's answer be? Why in ! all probability this: "You be d—d; go aboutyour business, and don't bother me with your offers of peace until you have some authority to act." Yet it | is exactly upon such a basis the cry is now got up that President Lincoln refuses to treat for peace. He has properly laid down a proposition to ' listen to terms when they coino from either the leader oi the rebel armies or from those who control them, and it will be time enough to talk about it when they do so, because none but a half-witted fool would for a moment believe that peace eau be made with anv others than them. We are satislsfied that the whole movement at Niagara was a trick to make capital iur the cowardly peace democracy, lor at Paw tucket, on V edncsday evening last, Mr. Giimore Edmund Kirke delivered a lecture, describing his interview with Jef Da vis. during a late visit to Richmond, and giving the substance of their ccn ver-ai;on on the terms of peace. From a report of it in the Providence Press we iiiake the following extracts: V e then urged upon him that it was his duty to use every effort to put an end to this monstrous bloodshed. lie acknowl edged tins, and declared that none of the bloodshed in this war could he lay to bis own charge. I hey. the South, were nut fighting for slavery; they were fighting for independence; and independence or exter mination they would have. Now take the declaration of Jef Davis that the South is not fighti<j for Slavery (which is more than can be said of northern copperheads) and his rejection of the informal terms offered by Mr. Giimore below, and they give the lie direct to the Niagara transac tion. Mr. G. continued: I theu had a considerable conversation with Mr. Davis, in which I indirectly of fered him the. terms ichkh 1 ha.l "hem authonzf-jl to suggest' but as he did not show any disposition to meet me, I did not state them explicitly. These terms will be given through the newspapers in a short time, 'ihey were, in general, entire aboli tion, a general amnesty, no confiscation, the debts ot tbe South to ignored, the debts ot the General Government to he borne by ail the States. Mr. Davis de c!ar<-: that such terms could never be ac cepted by the Southern people, and that rather than submit to them they would stake their whole property and their na tional existence. A correspondent of the West Chester Jeffersonian asks "\Y bo is to blame for the burning ot Chainbersburg," and then goes on to enumerate fifteen towns and villages in the South that have been destroyed by federal soldiers since the war commenced, besides the more recent destru.-tion ot pri vate property by Gen. Hunter in Virginia, i he acts of Hunter, however, were that most exasperated the rebels. Whi Ist ap plying the torch in Cham bersburg, they repeatedly exclaimed, '-This is for burning down Gov. Letcher's house," "This is for destroying the Institute," Ac. The above appears in the last Dem ocrat as editorial The Jefferson ian, from which it quotes, has been since the commencement of the rebellion, j one of the most unscrupulous villifiers of the nor*h in this State, probably even worse than the Selinsgrove Times, and why the Democrat, which pretends to be a Union paper, should republish the wicked lies above, we leave property holders who are in ef fect told that it would be riyht for the rebels to come here and destroy their all, after the town had surrendered without resistance, to determine. The tory of the Jefferson ian well knew that he lied when he penned the infa mous falsehood that the Union troops had destroyed towns asChambersburg had been destroyed. By the laws of war when a town or city is invested and refuses to surrender —or when troops are fired at from houses or oth er hiding places, while occupying it or passing through —such places are liable to be destroyed; but neither the Dem ocrat nor any other paper can produce a single instance where Union forces wantonly destroyed a place after it had surrendered without resistance. The laws of war also authorize Ihe des truction of all buildings used for mili tary purposes, all public property, and private property where it is used to manufacture material or preserve stores for war purposes. The towns des troyed by the Union forces on the Mis sissippi in 18G2 and 18G3 had been used by the rebels to fire on passing steam ers, or made the haunts of thieving and murdering geurillas; and in Virgin ia and along the coast, we cannot recall a single instance where provoca tion had not been given. The truth is, there was no justification for the burning of Chambersburg. It was an act of wanton barbarity, more worthy of demons than of beings in human shape The ball however has been started that our soldiers are no better than the thcives and murderers who burnt Chambersburg, and we suppose all good copperheads will believe it. —Some of the copperhead districts in York county are likely to reap rather bitter fruits from their opposition to the soldiers vote, a number of j-oung men having determined to enlist but not to credit a man to the intolerant sneaks. WAR NEWS. THE FIGHT IN MOBILE BAY WASHINGTON, August 15. Ihe following official dispatch has been received by the Navy Depart ment : FLAG SHIP HARTFORD, 1 MOBILL BAY, August 15. 1*64. \ Sir—l have the honor to report to the Department that this morning I entered Mobile Bay. passing between Forts Morgan and Gaines, and encount ering the rebel ram Tennessee, and the rebel gunboats Sclina, Morgan and Gaines. i he attacking fleet was under wav by 5 45. a. m.. in tbe following order: Brooklyn, with the Octoraro on the port side; Hartford, with the Meta Comet; Richmond with the Port Roy al: Lackwanna with the Seminole; Mo nongahela with the Kennebec; Ossip pee with the Itasca, and the Oneida with the Galena. On the starboard of the fleet was the proper position of the monitors or iron dads. The wind was light from the south west and the >ky was cloudy with very little sun. Fort Morgan opened upon us at ten minutes past seven, and soon after this the action became lively. As we steamed up the main ship channel there wassomedifficultv ahead, and the Hartford passed on ahead of the Brooklyn. At 40 minutes past seven the monitor Tecumseh wasstruek by a torpedo and sunk, going down very rapidly, and carrying with her all her officers and crew, with the ex ception of the pilot and eight men, who were saved by a boat that 1 sent from the Meta Comet alongside, of me. The Hartford had passed the forts before eight o'clock, and finding mv seli waked by the rebel gunboats, I ordered the Meta Comet to east oft' and go in pursuit of them—one of which, the Selma, she succeeded in capturing. All the vessels had passed the fort by half-past eight o'clock, but the reb el ram Tennessee was still apparently uninjured in our rear. Signal was at once made to all the fleet to turn again and attack the ram, not only with guns, but with orders to run her down at full speed. The Mo nongahela was the first that struck her. 1 hough she may have injured her badly, it did not succeed in disa bling her. The Lackawannaalsostruck her, but ineffectually, and the flag ship gave her a severe shock with her bow, and as she passed poured her whole port broadside into her—solid nine inch shot and thirteen pounds of powd er. at a distance of not more than ten feet. The iron elads were closing up on her and the Hartford and the rest of the fleet were bearing down upon her, when, at 10 a. m., she surrender ed. The rest of the rebel fleet, viz: the Morgan and Gaines, succeeded in get ting back under the protection of Fort Morgan. This terminated the action of the day. Admiral Buchanan sent his sword, being himself badly wounded with a compound fracture of the leg, which it is supposed will have to be amputa ted. Having lad many of my men wounded, and the surgeon of the Ten nessee being very desirous to have Ad miral Buchanan removed to a hospital, I sent a flag of truce to the command ing officer of Fort Morgan, Brig. Gen. Richard L. Page, to say that if he would allow the wounded of the fleet as well as their own to be taken to Pensacola, where they could be be'ter cared for than here, I would send out one of our vessels, provided she would be permitted to return, bringing back nothing that she did riot take out. Gen. Page consented, and the Meta Cornet was dispatched. The list of casualties on our part, as ascertained isas follows: Flagship Hurt ford, killed 19, wounded 28; Brooklyn, killed 9, wounded 22; Oneida, killed 7, wounded 28; Monongahela, wounded <5; Meta Comet, killed 1, wounded 2; Ossippee. killed 1. wounded 7; Galena, wounded 1; Richmond, wounded 2. In all. killed 41, wounded 88. On the rebel ram Tennessee there were captured 20 officers and about 100 men. The following is a list of the officers; Admiral F. Buchanan; Com mander James I). Johnson; Lieuts. Wm. L. Bradford, A. D. Wharton, E. McDenatt; Masters J. R. Demabv, W. H. Perrin; Fleet Surgeon, R. C. Bowles; Engineers, G. D. Lining, J. A. Connell, John Hayes. O. Benson, W. B. Patter son; Paymaster's Clerk, J. A. Cohen; Masters Mates, Forest, Becbe and Carter. On the Selma were taken about nine ty officers and men. Of the officers, I have only heard the names of two, viz: Com. Peter H. Murphey and Lieut. Executive Officer H. Comstock, who was killed. I will send a detailed dispatched by the first opportunity. Very respectfully, Tour obedient servant, D. G. FARRAGUT. Official War Gazette. W ASHINGTON, Aug. 10— 10.30 a. m. The following official report of the surrender of Fort Gaines, and the abandonment of Fort Powell, dated August 9th at New Orleans, has been received from Gen. Can by: 'Tort Gaines, with 56 commisioned officers and 818 enlisted men, with the armament of 26 guns intact, and pro visions for twelve months, has surren rendered unconditionally. It was occupied by our forces "at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Powell was abandoned, its I garrison escaping to Cedar Point. Its j armanent of" 18 guns is in condition tor immediate service. u Gen. Granger will immediately in vest Fort Morgan, leaving garrisons in Fort Gaines and Powell." A telegram from General Sheridan's command, dated Aug. 14. at Cedar Creek, was received this morning. It states that except -Vlosebv and tiite s gueriilas, there is no enemy this side ot' the Blue B. ige; that Sheridan's trains are all up. and his army in tine i condition. Gen. Sheridan, in a dispatch of the 11th inst., reports that the stories ot plunder taken by the rebels from Maryland are all humbug. They have . very little, just enough to subsist upon, and no more, most of which has been taken from the Shenandoah Yallev. In another dispatch, of August 12th. he says Gen. Early's train is very small one, not exceeding 2b(J wagons, and the stories about accumulated I plunder from Maryland are untrue. The Department has received an unofficial report from Fortress Monroe, that movements were being made ves terday in front of' Petersburg, but owing to the telegraph line being bro ken, no information Las been received from that quarter. The Department is without any re cent intelligence from Atlanta. The rebel papers received here sav nothing about Mobile, since the cap ture ot iort Gaines. E. M. STANTON. I Sec y, of Uar. Gen. Sherman is extending his lines I around Atlanta with occasional fight- I ing. The rebel pirate Tallahassee has ; burnt a large number ot vessels on our sea coast. The mail boat Keysport reports the movement of the 2d corps up the James river on Saturday night, resulted in the routing of a large rebel force at Dutch Gap, and the capture of over 500 prisoners and seven guns. 1 he position occupied by the enemy is said to have been a strong one. and is now held by our troops, who are able to hold it. Guerrillas again infest the region ! beyond Washington. Small rebel for ces are also in Kentucky, actio" in J O concert with the western tories. The Legislature convened in extra session on luesdav last, and the Governor ?>ent in his message, setting forth the reasons for calling them together. The message will b- found on our first page. In the Senate, on Wednes day, several private bills were introduced, when a resolution that no private bill shall be considered at ibis session was adopted. Hoarding of Produce. — The Chicago Tribune publishes the following table showing the amount of flour aud grain in store at Chicago, at the dates indi cated. It proves there is double the amount on hand this year that there was in I*<s3, and the fact indicates a speedy collapse in prices: July 25. 'O4. July 25.

Pretty peace men, truly*. —The Democrat prefers Fillmore to McClellan or anybody else for Presi dent. The democracy must be hard run for candidates when they have to hunt up an old knownothing. —A young patent democrat of this town who votid against the soldier having a vote, got a notion to enlist the other day, but declared he would not do so unless the constitutional amendment carried, as he was rot go ing to lose his vote ! —Davis of Maryland and Wade of Ohio have contributed a choice morsel to copperheadism, by a protest against some of the President's acts relating to the organization of rebel territory! Both these men a year or so ago were in favor of hanging or shooting verv body who differed from the President in war matters, and now naturally fall to the other extreme. \\ onder wheth er ''contracts had anything to do with their change of base? Five cowardly " skedadlers," says the Buffalo Express, from an impend ing drait in the town of East Berlin, Adams county, Pa., were overhauled at that place, but the Chief of Police having no authority to detain them, set them at liberty, very much to the joy of their craven hearts. The sneaks were Reuben Jacobs, Alexan der Jacobs, John 11. Bohn, David Thomas and Isaac Polter. The Peace Democratic ticket, that is to be, has lost five good votes.
