From the Seat of War.
We have nothing of a definite char
acter from the seat of war. General
Thomas has concentrated his forces at
Nashville, probably with a view to j
draw Hood from Sherman, and a great j
battle is looked for in that region. No |
l'ears are entertained of the result.
Of Gen. Sherman's movements it is
difficult to form an opinion, though it
is evident that he was gradually mov
ing forward, scouring a vast extent of
country, and if he designed to reach
the Atlantic he must be there by this ■
time. A naval expedition which re-;
cently sailed from Fortress Monroe
lias no doubt co-operated in Sherman's
movement, as also a body of troops
under Gen. Foster.
Gen. Gregg's cavalry, of Grant's ar
my, last week made an important raid
on rebel supplies at a place where they
intended to construct a new railroad,
and destroyed a large amount of prop
erty designed for the rebel army.
The rebel papers are studiously si- '
lent as to Sherman's movement, but !
seem to grow jubilant when they hear
of the retreat of a scouting detach
ment of cavalry or the capture of a •
few men—liicts which show that no ;
rebel force has thus far impeded or .
met the main army.
We learn from Washington that
the organization of the new veteran '•
army corps which is to be placed under
the command of Major General Han
cock has already commenced, and with
most encouraging prospects of sue- j
cess. The new corps is to consist of i
volunteers to the number of twenty ■
thousand, and all who enter it must
be able-bodiod men, and have served
two years in the army.
it is stated that some guns will soon !
be in position before the rebel capital, I
which will throw shells of extraordina- !
ay power from tho batteries of the |
Eighteenth Corps, a distance of seven ;
miles.
The President's Message.
The President's message was de- ;
livered to Congress yesterday at 1 i
o'clock. It recommends that provis
ion lie made for effectually preventing
foreign slave traders from acquiring
domicile and faculties for their crimi
nal occupation in our country.
It has been thought proper to give
notice that after the expiration of six
months, the period conditionally stip
ulated in the existing arrangement
with Great Britain, the United States
must hold themselves at liberty to in
crease their naval armanent "on the
lakes, if they shall find that precaution
necessary.
He suggests whether it might not j
be both competent and expedient for
Congress to provide that a limited j
amount of some future issues of public j
securties might be held by a bona fide !
purchaser, exempt from taxation and
from seizure of debt, under such re- j
strictions and limitations as might be i
necessary to guard against abuse of so I
important a privilege.
This would enable every prudent j
person to set aside a small annuity
against a possible day of want.
Since the last annual message all the
important lines and positions then oc
cupied by our forces have been main
tained, and our armies have steadily
advanced.
lie recommends the passage of a
constitutional amendment abolishing
slavery throughout the United States' ;
The next Congress will pass it if the I
present does not.
On careful consideration of all the '
evidence accessible, it seems to the
President that no attempt at negotia-1
tion with the insurgent leaders could
result in any good, as the rebels would
accept nothing short of a severance of |
the Union, precisely what we will not I
and cannot give.
lie retracts nothing he has hereto
fore said on slavery. Ho will not mod- i
ify the emancipation proclamation. !
The war will cease on the part of
the Government whenever it shall have
ceased on the part of those who be- !
gan it.

Our remarks on the tendency of
copperhead journalism to make thieves,
robbers and cutthroats seem to be ta
ken to heart by the devoted servant ol
Jcf Davis & Co. who edits the Selins
grove Times, as he devotes some space
; in his last paper to personal abuse ol
the Gazette, religion, Ac. We do not
wonder at his ravings, though we do at
the exhibition of a reputed infidel
showing any signs of conscience at all
. No paper in the interior has more
openly advised resistance to law arid
upheld treason and disunion than this
same editor of the Times, and in proof
of his teachings we state the fact that
the only man now in this county who
is threatening to kill U. S. officers is
a subscriber to that paper, while it is
equally well known that the advisers,
aiders and ah ttors of deserters in the
lower end of the county are of the
same stamp.
More Incendiarism.
New Yokk, Nov. 30.
The mahogany lumber yard of Messrs.
Og'ien & Co, which was almost totally
destroyed by fire at an early hour this
morning, occupied one third of the
block on Washington street, between Ilub
ert and Beech, arttl extended through to
West street, occupying the whole of the
block on Hubert street, between Washing
ton and West streets. The yard was filled
with an immense stock of maboga iy and
valuable lumber, the value of which is
estimated at 8150,000. The fire was dis
covered at about the centre of the yard by
Sergeant Farrell, of the Fifth precinct,
while patrolling the precinct, who iuime
diately gave the alarm.
The firemen and police were promptly
on hand, but owing to the inflammable na
ture of the materials the flames spread with
the most fearlul rapidity until it was teared
that the whole neighborhood would fall a
prey to the devouring element. The flames
iighed up the sky for a considerable dis
tance, and were visible all over the city.
Au immense crowd gathered at the scene
of Hie conflagration, and the most intense
excitement prevailed for a time. Great
apprehensions were entertained for the sur
rounding buildings, which had they caught
tire, would have caused an almost incalcua
ble amount ol damage. After a time, how
ever, by the untiring exertions of the lire
men, and the copious streams of water
launched upon the fire by the numerous
steamers, the flames were subdued and
finally extinguished, but not before a great
portion of the stock on hand had been des
troyed.
Phosphorus was used to fire the property,
and it is believed that the object was to
destroy the extensive Government ware
house adjoining, where immense quantities
of army clothing are stored.
The following, from the Chuiubersburg
Repository, gives an account of the manner j
in which horse thieves arc to be treated in !
Franklin county:
On b rid ay a week a horse belonging to 1
Mr. Martin Heintzelman was stolen from j
the hitching-post at Wingert's store in i
Fayetteville. Suspicion attached to John \
Myers, who was in town that evening, and j
the suspicions were confirmed when Myers 1
and his brother Y\ illiam—both residing in
the South Mountain were in Hagerstown
the next morning, and the stolen horse was
sold by William. On Friday last the two !
brothers returned to Fayetteville, both
riding and armed, and when confronted by i
Mr. ileintzeiman they asked two days to
prove their innocence, and proposed to i
leave their horses there until they did so; !
but soon alter they were seen trying to get
away, and when showed a de- I
termination to arrest them, they ran across
the fields towards Mr. John Crawford's,
t.aptain funk got four armed men and j
pursued them. He soon overtook them
nearly a mile from town, and caught Wil- j
liana; hut John refused to stop when called
upon to do so, and he was shot, the ball
entering his back under the left shoulder j
and passing through the lungs and out at
the right breast. He was taken to Fayette- j
vule, where he now lies in a very critical i
condition, and his brother William is in
prison awaiting his trial. The people of i
the county are about prepared to save our
courts the trouble of disposing of horse- |
thieves. They are either rebels or in col I
lus.ou with rebels, and their villainous 1
work will he arrested only when they learu
that they must face bullets.
Paul the Apostle speaks of Luke
as the "beloved physician," and few endear
themselves to us more than those who like
"ministering angels," bring us the healing
balm in sickness. So it is with medicines
that cure; though we never see the maker,
yet we get a feeling of regard for him
through them. How many have reason to
bless Dr. Ayer for his invaluable remedies,
so cheap and yet so effectual: What
pu nc benefactors better deserve esteem
than those who rescue the body from dis-
Tv z/w P reuiature decay?— Portsmouth

Rebel Attack at Franklin.
rp, .., . Washington, Dec. 1.
ibe following official dispatch, confirm
ing the victory in Tennessee, has beea re
ceiyed at headquarters:
rp .. .Eranklin, Tenn., Nov. 30.
o A ajor Gen. Thomas: —The enemy
made a heavy, persistent attack with about
two corps, commencing about 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, and lasting until after dark:
e was repulsed at all points with very
heavy loss, probably 3,000 to 4,000 men.
fur loss is probably not more than one
tenth of that number. We captured
about 1,000 men, including a Brigadier
General.
MAJ. GEN. SCHOFIELD.
f M'Connelsburg, Pa., Dec. 3.
A fight occurred at Timber Ridge, near
this place, yesterday, between a portion of
company F, 101 st regiment ol Pennsyl
vania mounted infantry, ami some deliu
- (juent conscripts of this county. It having
? been ascertained that a number of them
f would be congregated at a shooting match,
measures were at once taken to secure the
party. The soldiers advanced to the spot,
1 and, as Provost Marshal lloupt went tor
' ward to hold a parley, the conscripts cried
! out, 'Tt is the Provost Marshal," and i u
} mediately a number of shots were tired at
j liim, none of which took effect.
'1 he soldiers then opened fire, and a gen
- eral tight ensued, that lasted for about an
1 hour. Ihe deserters were finally driven
i j over two hills, skirmishing being kept up
, the whole way. Owing to the fact that
the fighting was carried on principally in
the wcods, the casualties were slight. The
conscripts lost one man killed and two
wounded. None of our men were injured, i
; One of the wounded men fell into our
hands. Ihe remainder of the party, be
ing familiar with the country, fled to the
mountains.
j The forces were under command of'Capt.
j Maioney, an efficient officer, and more
affairs of this kind may be speedily looked
i for, as it is determined to bring these
J outlaws and incendiaries to justice.
