It is a capital paper and we are glad to learn is in a most prosperous condi tion. We may add that the Telegraph furnishes its readers here with the la test news mostly twelve hours in ad vance of the city papers. —The Legislature of this State met yesterday. —The duty on whisky is now 82 per gallon—a pretty strong temper ance argument. Hon. Geo. M. Dallas died at Phil adelphia, on Saturday morning. He was well enough to be out the day be fore. The Hon. illiam L. Dayton, of New Jersey, IT. S. Ambassador to France, died suddenly at Paris, on the 2d inst, of apoplexy. The steamer North America, on her voyage from New Orleans to New Vork was last at sea a few weeks ago, and sank with nearly 200 soldiers on board, principally New Vork and wes tern men. '1 he ladies and other pas sengers, as also the captain and crew, were saved by a passing vessel. The absence of the latter when the steamer had so many lives on board does not look well. Most Sad Calamity. —Last Friday evening, in West Buff'aloe township, three little children were burned to death—the precise origin of the fire being wholly a matter of conjecture. The parents were both absent—Mr. Strickler was lumbering in the moun tains, and Mrs. 8. was out of the house a few moments, attending to domestic duties. Returning she found the in side of the dwelling in flames, but was unable to rescue cue of all her children, whom she had left in supposed safety. The oldest child was three and a half years and the youngest but a few months old.— Lewishurg Chronicle. Painful Accident. —lsaac B. Moyer, a soldier on crutches, returning home to Freeburg, Snyder county, while at tempting to get oft the cars at the Se linsgrove Station on Friday morning, fell on the track while the train was in motion, and had his left leg terribly crushed. He was brought to Sunbury. and his leg amputated below the knee by Doctors Awl and Peal. Ayer s American Almanac has now arrived and is ready for delivery gratis at the agents (see advertisement) to all who call for it. This number contains a treatise on Scrofula and its kindred complaints, which is well worth perusal. It also gives much general medical inOirmation, which is useful and : should be kept agaiust a time of need in every family. Its complication of jokes and anecdotes is about the best that reaches us and these facts together have given it a cir culation which is said to be the largest of any one book in the world. A Dialogue between Joe and Tom. Going up street yesterday, I heard some very fine music. As I came a little closer I saw it was Joe. playing a jewsharp. Hello ! Joe, where did you get that good jewsharp?' •Up here at Grove's store.' 'Grove's store! where is that?' Why up here, one door this side of Zollinger's hat store. lie has the best assortment of jewsharps and harmoni ums and all kirds of horns and whistles 1 ever saw.' 'Why, I did not know that; I think I must go up and see those things my self.' 'Well, Tom, when you go up, just take a peep into that perfumery case at the door. 1 got a bottle the other diay and wherever I go I hear the cry, 'what is that you have -about you that smells so sweet ?" ' I was just agoing to ask you .the very same thing.' ! •Well, Tom. if you get a bottle, the girls will like you better, for I find no trouble in run ning with any lady. Since I carry Grove's perfumery about me they think I'm some ® pumpkins.' dec2l—2t Ml puinl WAR NEWS. The following extracts from Rich* mond papers have been received by the department: "The latest official dispatches from Georgia indicate thut Sherman has already followed up the occupation of Savannah by sending a force of cavalry, artillery and infantry upon an expedi tion, whose destinations can only be guessed at from the direction in which it has moved. These troops are re ported to lmve gone toward the Ala bama river, and we shall no doubt next hear that they have crossed that stream, and are moving to southwestern Georgia in quest of the prisoners of war who were supposed to he at Andersonville. "Shernan's programme for his grand campaign northward seems to be no secret. He will start from Port Royal, and move straight for Rranchville, the point of junction between the Georgian and Carolinian railroads. He then proposes to follow the main lines of railroad towards Virginia, stealing and murdering as much as he can by the way. All very tine; but if Sherman proposes, Lee disposes." Other extracts fully confirm the cap ture of the Virginia State Salt works by Gen. Burbridge's forces. The place was occupied by our forces on the 20th, and held for three days. The rebel garrison was dispersed or captured, and their artillery taken. A large quantity of salt already prepared was destroyed. The rebel account says the works were but little damaged, but this is scarcely probable, as our troops had abundant time to do their work thoroughly. All the buildings at the place were burned. All the bridges on the East Tennessee Rail road between Bristol and Glade Spring were burned by our forces. Breckin ridge was at Saltville at last accounts. Gen. Thomas was still driving Hood at last accounts, and much activity is manifested in other quarters. The troops from the Wilmington ex pedition have returned. There was apparently a want of concert between the navy and army. The following official account of the capture of Savannah appeared in our extra last week : Savannah Captured—Despatch from Gen. Sherman—lso Heavy Gnus, 13 Locomo tives, 190 Cars and 33,000 Bales of Cot ton Taken. SAVANNAH, GA., Dec. 22, 1864. To His Excellency President Lincoln : I beg to present as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah, with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition, and also about 25,000 bales of cotton. W. T. SHERMAN, Maj. Gen. STEAMER GOLDEN GATE, SAVANNAH RIVER, Dec. 22—7 p. in. To Lieut. Gen. U. S. Grant and Major General 11. \V. Hallec/c; I have the honor to report that I have just returned from General Sherman's headquarters in Savannah. I send Major General Gray, of my staff, as bearer of despatches from General Sherman to you, and also a message to the President. The city of Savannah was occupied on the morning of the2lst. General Hardee, an ticipating the contemplated assault, escaped with the main body of his infantry and light artillery on the afternoon and night of the 20th, by crossing the river to the Union causeway opposite the city. The rebel irou-clads were blown up and the na vy yard ourned. All the rest of the city is intact, and contains 20,000 citizeus, who are quiet and well disposed. The captures include 800 prisoners, 150 guns, 13 locomotives in good order, 190 cars, a large supply of ammunition and materials ot wat, 3 steamers, and 33,000 bales of cotton, safely stored in warehouses. All these valuable fruits of an almost blood less victory have been, like Atlanta, fairly won. I opened communication with the city, with my steamers, to day, taking up what torpedoes we could see, and passing safely over others. Arrangements are being made to clear the channel of all obstruc tions. Tours, etc., J- G. FOSTER, Major General.

Now, Mr. Editor, in self defence at least, you will . permit me to say to you and your readers that I tlunk the occasion demanded that citizens at home and in the field should raise their voices in favor of our nation and i its interests, and thus stem the treasonable and perfidious influence exerted by these men, who adhere to the theories of a Ben- I edict Arnold, but unlike his followers are ; to ° cowardly to risk life in their defence, j I boast not now and never have boasted of my "fighting propensities," but from infan cy was taught to love my country and re spect the olu flag, arid I have perhaps done as much for her as most persons in tuy cir cumstances, having two sons in the service, at present before Petersburg, and four out of five brothers. '1 he bones of one of these brothers now moulder on the bloody ; field of Gettysburg, another is in York ! hospital, crippled for life. So much to the j war, prosecuted for the salvation of our country, the maintenance of the Constitu tion and laws, the punishment of traitors j and to secure the objects of all good gov ernments; but inaugurated almost exclu sively by men calling themselves democrats then and claiming the same appellation now. But I must return. This is a per sonal and cowardly attack, made by a man or thing, in the shape of a moral assassin, j who dare not come out under his own sig nature but stabs his imaginary enemy in the dark, for it is well known that at the time this unwarranted and disgraceful blow was aimed, I was absent in my country's service, surrounded by guerrillas almost as treacherous aud snaky as the aulhor of the article to which we refer. "It would be ioilv,' he states, "for us to say that the Lieut, even approximated to a speech." \Y hether we did or did not was not within the province of him or us to say, but of the audience. So egotistical and illiterate it would seem is the (A) Citizen of Ar magli, that he speaks as though the intel ligence of the entire assembly was to he measured by the contracted limits of his j own cranium. It will be seen by reference to the paragraph from which we have quo ted that he hesitates not to wallow in the mire and filth of bigotry and infidelity in his efforts to wipe off the foul excrescence j by a labored effort to soil the character and tarnish the good name of a branch of Christ s church. \\ e see the man. person or thing is somewhat displeased at our ne glect to be particular in the use of proper words in our effort at extemporaneous speaking, and like some simple school boy sits down to criticise, and in the very act shows both his ignorance and incompetency to complete the task. There is a time honored maxim to which we would rerpect fully cull trie attention of the Citizen of Armagh, and which "will frae mony a blunder free him and botheratiou," viz : "those who live in glass houses must not throwstones ' Witness the following from the article quoted : "but either they or us were disappointed"—"but promised he had j the documents in his great coat pocket"— "let Lewistown send him out more on these oeeassions." All these, Mr. Lditor, in a written article! Poor little soul! After all this great effort of his, he ought to feel and I suppose did feel a little easy ! Should he not be commiserated ? Hoping we shall hear from him over his own signature we close this, we fear, too lengthy article. J. F. MCKINLEY. At a meeting of the Mifflin county Bar, held at the Prothonotary'a office in Lewistown, on the 20th day of December, 1804, to consider the death of the Hon. ABRAHAM S. WILSON, E. L. BENE DICT, Esq., was called to the chair, and T. M. UTTLEY, Esq , was appointed Secretary. On motion of G. W. ELDER, Esq., a com- j mittee of four was appointed to report reso- ; lutions expressive of the sense of meeting. The committee, through the chairman, Mr. i , Elder, reported the following resolutions, , which were unanimously adopted : WHEREAS, An all-wise Providence has taken from us the Hon. A. S. WILSON, i closing up another life "full of years and full of honors AND WHEREAS, Our long private and official intercourse with him enables us to appreciate his high toned and unselfish character, it is now a sad but grateful duty to pay some feeble tribute to his cherished memory. Therefore, Resolved, In our experience with men we have rarely fouud all the kindlier social virtues of the heart so happily blended with the more solid and sterner qualities of the head. In him we ever found the kind and genial companion—the unselfish, steadfast friend —the honest man—the learned and "just judge." Resolved, That we can only offer to his family, in their sad bereavement, our heart felt sympathy. For true consolation they must look to Him who visited them with their affliction, doubtless for wise purposes, for " He doeth all things well." Resolved, That we attend the funeral of deceased in a body. Resolved, That these proceedings be en tered upon the records of the Court, that they be published in the newspapers of the county, and a copy of them presented to the family of the deceased. T. M.
