Gen. Butler's Terms.
General Butler's speech in New York
contains an admirable passage, which
his enemies should read. Instead of
regarding the Blue! card image which
tiey have set upfor themselves in anx
iety to give this malinged general all the
form and aspect of what Southerners
call "a brute," Gen. Butler's Bichmond
admirers will find in this speech a real
test of his character. In the moment
of highest victory he presents the
largest olive branch, but while he offers
a generous friendship he is not less a
determined enemy:
"ID view of the unaniinity of the Amer
ican people—in view of the strength, the
majesty, the might of the nation—might
it not be suggested that now is a good time
once again to hold out to the deluded peo
pie of the South the olive branch of peace,
and say to them 'Come back, come back
now; this is the last time of asking; come
back, aud leave off the feeding on husks
and come with us to feed upon the fat oi
the land, and bygones shall be bygones—
if bygones are bygones our country shall
live in peace hereafter.'
"There might have been some complaint,
I think, among a proud and chivalrous
people, that they would Dot desert their
leaders in answer to the amnesty proclama
tion of President Lincoln; but now, as we
come to say, 'Come back, and you shall
find the laws the same, save aud except as
they are altered by the legislative wisdom
of the land;' are we not in a condition, not
taking counsel of our fears or weakness,
but from our strength and magnamity,
again to make the offer, and the last time
to call on them, and then shall we not have
exhausted all the resources of statesman
ship in the effort to restore peace to the
country? And who shall hinder this?
And if they do not come back, who shall
complain?
"I ask not for the rebel to come back
after he has fought as long as he can and
then chooses to come back, but state Bome
time—perhaps the Bth of January, 1865,
for the association will be as good as any—
and when that tiuie shall have come, every
man who shall scout the proffered amnesty
of a great and powerful nation, speaking
in love, in kindness, in charity, in hope of
peace and quiet forever, then I say to him
who then scouts the proffered love and
kindness, 'let us meet him with sharp,
quick, decisive war, which shall bring the
matter to an end and to the extinguish
ment of such men wherever they may be."
STATE DUTY.— The folllowing let
ter, addressed to the Commissioners
of Mifflin county, gives a decision on
two important points as to who is lia
ble to State service:
HEADQUARTERS PA. MILITIA,")
INSPECTOR GE.N'L'S DEPT., [
IIARRISBURG, NOV. 17, 1864. )
GENTLEMEN :—Thi9 Department is in
receipt of a letter from Geo. Frysingcr, I
Esq , Clerk to your Board, desiring a de
cision of the Department ou the following
interrogatories therein contained:
1. Are those who hold exemption certi
ficates from U. S. boards exempt under the
State law ?
The certificate of exemption for mental
or physical disability, given by the physi
otan of the enrolling board of the U. S.,
should not be received as evidence of disa
bility or disqualification for State service.
Each hoard must make its oven exemptions,
determining from all the circumstances of
each particular case whether the party is a
proper subject for exemption.
2. Arc those who paid commutation to
the U. S. or furnished substitutes exempt ?
The citizen owes allegiance and, as a
consequence, service to both State and Na
tional Governments, and exemption from
service under the provisions of the Acts of
Congress for enrolling and calling out the
National forces, does not relieve a party
from the service he owes the State under
the militia laws of the Commonwealth. It
is a superadded obligation.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen,
\ our Obt. Servant,
LEMUEL TODD,
Inspector Gea'l P. M.
—U. J. Jones, of Harrisburg, was
instantly killed on Friday night by the
Accommodation train from Baltimore
running over him. His body was
found beneath the cow-catcher, rolled
up into an almost shapeless mass. He
was a mafc of much talent, author of
the History of the Juniata Valley, and
connected with various newspapers at
different times.
—A New York copperhead journal,
just before the last election, told its
readers that as almost everybody was
foing for McClellan, all should go for
im, and thus present a "sublime mor
al spectacle!"

WAR NEWS.
Resignation of McClellan and Appoint
ment of Sbarldan.
GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 282.
WAR DEPARTMENT, )
WASHINGTON, NOV. 14, 1804. )
Ordered by the President:
1. That the resignation of Geo. B.
McClellan as Major General in the U.
S. Army, dated November 8, and re
ceived by the Adjutant General on the
10th, inst, be accepted as of the Bih
of November.
2. That for personal gallantry, mili
tary skill, and just confidence in the
courage and patriotism of his troops
displayed by Philip H. Sheridan on
the 19th of October, at Cedar Run,
whereby, under the blessing of Provi
dence, his routed army was re-organ
ized; a great national disaster averted,
and a brilliant victory achieved over the
rebels for the third time in pitched
battle within thirty days, Philip 11.
Sheridan is appointed Major General
in the L nited States Army, to rank as
such from the Bth day of November,
! 1864.
By order of the President of the
United States.
E. D. TOWNSEND, A. A. G.
General Sherman'* Expedition.
A correspondent from Nashville who
professses to know, gives the follow
ing outline of Gen. Sherman's plans:
HIS FORCE.
The army which left Atlanta con
sisted of the following troops;
14th Corps 8,000
Lsth 10,000
17 th " 9,000
20th " 10,000
Cavalry 10,000
Total 47,000
Guns 130
The cavalry are well mounted, the
best horses formerly in this section
having been sent them.
THE DESTINATION.
A portion of the army left Atlanta
on the morning of the 9th, and fol
lowed the railroad to Macon, destroy
ing it as it proceeds; the column will
take Milledgevillo in its way, and it is
probable that the cavalry will attempt
to release the Union prisoners.
The second column started on Satur
day morning last, and goes direct to
Augusta, the chief manufacturing
point of the Confederacy, and one in
which nearly all the powder used by
the Southern army is made. This will
be reached in about twelve or fourteen
days.
At this point the whole army will
concentrate, and then move on one of
three points, as Sherman shall deem
most proper. These are: Savannah,
Charleston or Beaufort; but I know
that if nothing occurs to change his
present plans, he will go to Beaufort.
He believes that Savannah, with the
railroads through Georgia cut will be
perfectly harmless, and there will be
no advantage in holding it. The same
may be said of Charleston. Let Sher
man advance to Branchville, twenty
or thirty miles out, and that place is
cut off effectually.
To capture either Savannah or Char
leston, fortified asthoy are, would take
time, oven though not strongly garri
soned, while the moment the army
reaches Beaufort, it meets supplies in
abundance, and ships to transfer it to
any point it may be made useful.
This I know to be his plan at present.
However, it may become necessary to
make Augusta a new base, and in that
case Savannah must be captured; but
Sherman now believes that he can as
easily make one on the sea coast, and
in the meantime destroy all the rail
roads in Georgia and South Carolina
so effectually as to render them worth
less during the war. Unless, Uiere
foro, unexpected obstacles are met, he
will reach the ocean at Beaufort, in
about 35 or 40 days.
OlHclal Dispatch from Gen. Curtis.
The following dispatch, dated Camp
Arkansas, Nov. 8, via Fort Scott,
Nov. 15, has been received:
We have just concluded the pursuit
of Price, whose rearguard crossed the
Arkansas river, under fire ofour guns.
He left another of his guns and his
own carriage, which, with other arms
and equipments, have fallen into our
hands.
We are now rid of 20,000 or 30,000
half-starved bushwhackers and half
starved vagabonds, who I hope may
never return to disturb the peaceful
inhabitants north of the Arkansas
river. lie is also beyond our posts of
Fayetteville, Fort Smith, and Fort
Gibson, which are now safe.
S. R. CURTIS, Major General.
—Rumors of changes in the Cabinet
are again rife, but as yet have not been
confirmed. It is said that Stanton is
to retire from tho War Department, to
be made Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, and that he is
to be succeeded by Gen. Butler. It is
also asserted that Fessenuen will soon
resign the Treasury portfolio, and that
Robt. J. Walker, who is now in Wash
ington, is to be his successor.
—The copperhead Prothonotaries of
several counties have, in clear violation
of law, thrown out soldiers votes, and
in other cases return judges have un
dertaken the same dirty game, thus
arrong others attempting to defeat
Judge King of Bedford out of his elec
tion. A dose of law administered to
such skunks would be of some service.

thirty mills are at manufacturing sor
ghum sirup. The price charged is 25
to 30 cents per gallon.

Making Charge*.
Ihe great forte of Vallandigham's
pet of the Democrat .seems to be in
continually making charges against
government or individuals, and in the
tace of our most respectable citizens
barefaced denials. To hear this Uriah
Heep he is all "humility, all truth, all
honesty, while the rest of mankind
i with the exception of Belmont) arc
all speculators, government swindlers,
horse jockeys, or cheats of some otht r
kind. Of course they are ! But how
about Mr. Brisbin? Let us see now
what are the awful charges trumped
up against certain individuals and the
administration. First comes one that
'•a worthy young man" was discharged
at Harrishurg at the instance of one
or more of our citizens. It is proba
bly true—l dare say it is true—and
now let us see whether it was right or
wrong. This "worthy young man"
is one of the immortals who voted that
the soldiers had 1:0 right to a vote.
Unknown to any except a favored few
he was it is said recommended by one
or two patent democrats here for a sit
uation in the Quartermaster's Depart
ment at Harrisburg, and through them
and a democratic clerk, also holding
office under this "nigger administra
tion." procured a good one. When
known, it naturally created some feel
ing; and to add to it the "worth v young
man," not satisfied with a good place,
had to come all the way up here to op
pose the "nigger administration" at the
October election! At the very time
this appointment was made, a number
of soldiers, among whom were eight
or nine of the Logan Guards, had just
returned to their homes, honorably
discharged, to most of whom such a
situation would have been a merited
reward; and had the hottest democrat
among them been selected for the
place, no fault would have been found
by any republican or war democrat,
because all such men they do honor.
If however the worthy young man is
an injured individual, the Democrat
might cure his wounds bv bringing
him out for treasurer, assembly, or
some other office next year.
The other case is a "young mechan
ic." By some hocus poeus this young
man was transplanted when shortly out
of his apprenticeship to the govern
ment printing office at Washington,
where old and experienced hands only
ought to he employed, but which un
der its present management has become
a regular copperhead nest. The pay
was good—s2o or s2l per week, and if
accounts are true few of the hands ev
er hurt themselves working. The pub
lic might suppose that a young man in
such a desirable place, even under a
"niggeradministration," would endeav
or to deserve it; but listening to cop
perhead counsel, he comes to Lewis
town, where he had forfeited all show
of residence the moment he left em
ployment here, as his parents reside in
York county, and offered a ticket at
the West Ward window, although he
had been here only two or three days
and was at the time a resident of
Washington City. After this attempt
at voting, he icas complained of, not as
the Lying Democrat asserts by forgery,
but but by those who had full authori
ty for all theydid.
Who, with these facts before him,
will say that these discharges were not
right? The Democrat's flings against
the administration about proscription
are all "in my eye?" Polk, Pierce and
Buchanan were ten times as proscrip
tive, as the latter once taught Mr.
Harry. The great complaint against
President Lincoln and Governor Cur
tin on the part of truly loyal men—
men who were not office seekers —was
that they were too lenient with cop
perheads who held office under them.
So far as good Union men are concern
ed, they are welcome to office, wheth
er old whigs, democrats or republicans,
but as for the entire gang of brawling
snakes who have re-echoed the tory
slang of Yallandigham, Cox, Voorhees,
Aneona, Stiles, Denison, Wood and
other tools of rebels, the verdict of the
people is "kick them out." X.

NOTICE.
r Board of Relief, in order to correct
X. the mistaken idea abroad that ALL fami
lies of soldiers are entitled to relief without
regard to their means or ability to live, deem
it proper to say that the Relief Fund bv LAW
was intended to aid those really dependent
on the soldier, first, until such support wai
paid off and thus enabled to send homf a
fair portion of his pay, and secondly, to pro
vide assistance in case families actually stood
in need of it. This regulation was extended
to all coming under the law, without regard
to tbe heavy bounties lately paid, but as the
12 weeks pay granted has in some cases ex
pired and a continuance is asked, the follow
ing regulations are published for public in
formation :
