" Pay the Soldiers."
Let every paper in the interior take
up this cry- and continue it until ar
rangements are made, first, for paying
the soldiers all that is due, and second
ly, once in three months thereafter.—
We neither know nor care who is at ■
fault in this matter, but we believe it ;
rests between the neglect of army offi
cers and the pay department. If so,
the President ought to kick the whole
posse out of office forthwith, and ap
point those who will attend to this im
portant duty, for thousands ofhelpless
women and children are dependent for
subsistence on this pay, or must obtain
means from the cold charitv of the
public. The daily press in the cities is
to) much engaged in publishing long
winded homilies on peace, the proper
mode of conducting the war, disserta
tions on French or British podicv, Ac.,
for any of its editors to write on such
a common subject, and we therefore call
upon the country- press to make itself
beard. Let the cry go forth— NOT A
DOLLAR TO ANY CITVLIAX UNTIL THE SOL
DIER is PAID OFF, both now and here
after.
Rumors of Peace.
The newspapers and letter writers
continue to be tilled with rumors of
peace movements both north and south,
and from the fact that gold last week •
suddenly fell to —OO and lias since va- •
ried but little above that figure, we 1
incline to the opinion that efforts are !
being made to bring about thatdesira- j
b!e event. We must not however. J
build too much on our hopes, for with
our successes the desperate leaders at
Richmond may become more desperate
and rashly- fight until their whole
country- is overrun by our victorious j
troops. Their last move, that of arm- i
ing the negroes, must hasten their \
downfall, for as this wicked rebellion j
was ostensibly- commenced to extend !
and perpetuate slavery, it takes but
little foresight to 6ee that when the
rebel leaders themselves undertake to •
set slaves free and thus in copperhead j
parlance make them equal to their
masters, the masters are not likely !
long to remain pliant tools. Besides,
the total insecurity of property in the
rebel states, no man being able any
longer to call even the product of his
labor and farm his own—the convic
tion that the Giant North is daily- be- I
coming more formidable, both on land j
and sea, while the self-created confed- !
eracy is daily growing weaker the
utter ruin and poverty of thousands 1
who under federal rule were prosper
ous and happy—all combine to show
that the fanatical and chimerical j
schemes hatched by Calhoun aud his
coadjutors in Gen. Jackson's term, and :
carried out by the black hearted trait- 1
ors Breckinridge, Davis, Cobb and :
others under the imbecile administra- ;
tion of James Buchanan, have not
only failed in establishing a Black Oli-'
garehy, but uuder the plain rulings of
a higher power bave produced a con-!
trary effect. There is a desire evident
in all quarters through rebeldom tore
turn to peaceful pursuits, again to live
under the stars and stripes, and while
many may not relish the idea of losing j
their slaves, yet when it is reduced to
n choice they will more cheerfully sub
mit to such a loss at the hands of their
former beneficent government than to
be further robbed bv Jef Davis A Co. j
Gloomy—Subj agnation.
The Richmond Examiner of a recent
date makes the following sombre re
flections upon the rebel situation. If
there is a scintilation of comfort or
consolation to be derived from it, we
hope it may do those whom it may
concern good; but we don't see it:
There is such a thing as heartbreak for
nations, as 'or individuals 'I here are such
things as hopelessness and despair, lethargy
and apathy. A conviction that all that
it will do must come to naught, all sacrifi
ces it can be rendered vain, by an irre
deemable cause—a conviction resting on
rational grounds, both of reflection and of
experiment, will produce this state of feel
ing in any nation, however heroic and
however obstinate.
The Charleston Mercury also has an
article written in a spirit of bravado
usual to that region, but which shows
that disaffection has reached all classes.
It says:
Before bringing ourselves to face the
enemy, it is absolutely essential that those
in command bring themselves to face vital
evils existing within our own lines. The
path ice are now traveling is straight to
destruction. The crisis of the Confederacy
has arrived in fatal earnest. The result
ot the next six months will bring the
Confederacy to the ground, or will re in
state its power. IFfl/mul reform we. are
doomed. There is more thau one depart
ment of the Government in which reform
is important. But reform in our armies
is esseutial—is vital. Without it death
of the Con federacy is already tolled.
With the proper reform made, he is a
coward who carries his heart in his
boots.
There are men in the land—there is
fight in the land '. It is thj imbecile that
is sick at heart—it is the coward whose
stomach is weak. There is nothing be '
fore us that cannot be overcome; but to do
it, there must be a new state of things in
stituted. We say again, there must be
nerve. Men in command must not be
afraid to die—they must not be afraid to
kill. Ojficers must be killed —not mere
privates. Reform must begin at the top,
not at the bottom of the service. To reach
the private, captains must be shot. We
want no child's play—we want an army.
AN hat is a man s life to the institutions
and the liberty of the country? Nothing.
Let the old things pass away—let us have
a new condition of things. NVe want no
more Jeff l'avis' foolery; we want one atom
of brains, one spark of nerve—we want no
mermaids with heads of monkeys and fishy
attachments at the nether extremities—
we want men, real men, earnest men—
North Carolina, Georgia and South Caroli- j
na are in no mood for trifling. They have
had enough of this sort of thing. They
don't intend to have much more. Souh
Carolina don t intend to be conquered.
She intends to fight.
She don't intend to be hampered or
turned over to the enemy. When she is
thus dealt with, there will be a reckon,
ing—a reckoning where there will be
no respecters of person. NV ewanllm pli ci t
order and calm forecast. South Carolina
is a Commonwealth of order; we expect
order, and we demand order. We a e ac
customed to order. NVe are not used to
lawless ruffianism; we do not intend to suf
fer it.
A most onerous but imperative dutv
devolves upon the commander of this de*
partiaent, whoever he is. That duty—
this first and most essential duty—is to
cashier and shoot. N\ ithout it nothing CUD
be done, and ShermsD conquers us. With
it, he is a coward who succumbs at heart.
Lverything is at stake; everything that
is in the way must be faced and trampled
upon. The man who commands here must
put his heart in his pocket, and his sword
in his hand. He must know uothing but
the good of the Confederacy. That he
must do regardless of official weakness
The end must be radical reform.
It is folly to t lk of red tape now, we
want the thing, we must haye it—reform,
shooting, cashiering, order, subordination,
soldiers—not runaways, ragamuffins, ruf
fians. NVe want and we must have, brains
an l pluck in commanders, and implicit
obedience and order in subordinates and
soldiers. Six paces and a steady arm will
do the business, if repeated sufficiently
often, especially among commissioned offi
cers.
It. however, commanding officers will
not do their duty in this matter, let all men
shut their books, for the end will hive well
nigh come. The time is short—will it be
improved?
The Richmond NN hig chimes in RS
foliovvs:
The disasters which we have sufered of
late, are not only not irrepairable , but they
are not so great as others we have suffered
on other occasions. Rut the people have
become more depressed by them than they
ever were before, because theg have been
Jiattered by hopes of peace by persons who
wed knew there could be no peace short of
submission and enslavement. This fit of
depression has been longer, and more vio
lent than formerly, because thev see that
Congress to which they naturally turn for
encouragement, trifling on the very edge
°, ! he with a reckless disregard of
their situation, which prompt the rulers
when the ship is about to go down, to break
open the spirit room, and drown their fears
m liquor. They see little hopes in that
quarter. Congress is in fact assisting the
enemy by encouraging a disposition to
croak which seems to have beset the whole
country.
A little prompt aotion, a slight displaj
of resolution, a few words to keep up the
confidence of the people, would work won
ders. Cannot Congress arouse itself and
become equal to the task?
Such articles are cold comfort-
What haven't they got in Lewistown.—
Beliefonte Press.
A very pertinent query, Mr. Press,
whicli we shall answer in our own way.
We have in Lewistown an excellent
furnace which is turningout good iron ;
machine shops and foundries well worth
a visit; water works with the best wa
ter in the State; good gas woi ks; a
good bank and a hrst class banking
bouse; two large mills; several exten
sive dealers in grain, coal, lumber, &e.;
dry goods and grocery establishments
with six times the stock usually found
in stores in the interior; two or three
hardware stores, either of which has
probably as much stock as all such
stores in any common town put to
gether; several first class hotels ; sev
eral heavy manufacturers of boots and
snoes; two or three splendid jewelry
establishments; a number of excellent
family and variety stores; select drug
gists ; several tanners, hatters, prime
tailors, carriage makers, chair makers,
painters, <kc., &e. Besides we have
churches with Xo. 1 preachers; the
best locomotive tire manufactory in
the world; an axe factory second to
none; and lastly the Lewistown Ga
zette. of whose merits we leave our
readers speak.

—The days are getting perceptibly
longer.
—Ditto, the faces of enrolled men.
—The total cost of the marble for
the Capitol at Washington and for cut
ting it is $2,778,544.
—Gov. Curtin has ordered a com
mission to be issued to Lieut. Col.
Harry White, as Colonel of the 67th
Regiment P. V.
—A child of Peter Mingle of Ferma
nagh township, Juniata county, was re
cently so badly scalded with soap suds
as to die the following day.
—The population of Wisconsin ci
ties, according to the new State census,

cine. 7,219.
—The Plenary Indulgence granted
by the Pope of Rome, to 4, the faithful
all over the universe," is one of those
exhibitions which elicit considerable
comment.
—The Democrat of last week pub
lishes editorially a copperhead article
from the Carlisle Volunteer, which
after a rigmarole of senseless charges,
comes to the conclusion that Lincoln
was not elected ! It will be a sufficient
answer to all this trash to state that
the author was one of Buchanan's
honest office holders 1
—The Louisville Journal learns that
Hon. A. O. P. Nicholson, of Memphis,
who was Governor Andrew Johnson's
colleague in the United Slates Senate
prior to the war, has returned to his
home at Columbia, after a long sojourn
within the rebel lines. He has deter
mined now to give no further support
to the rebellion, which he regards as
hopeless.
—Thaddeus Stevens, the acknowl
edged head of the House in Congress,
usually so quiet in his demeanor where
business is concerned, was moved the
other day by an unprovoked attack on
Gen. Butler by Brooks of New York
—best known for his attempt to sell
the Know Nothings some years ago—
to utter one ot those pbillipics which
cut keen as the sharpest razor. We
pity the man whom Thad. undertakes
to dissect.
Fire in Bellefonte. —The cry of fire on
last Sunday morning before daylight
brought our citizens to rise earlier than
they desired or expected. The night had
been a bitter cold one, and a strong wiud
blew from the north-west, which had a ten
dency to recall the fearful scene and dan
gers of the great tire a year ago. In the
present case the fire originated in the
kitchen belonging to Gurmau's hotel, next
door above Reynolds' new building, and
soon coin muni oated with the residence of
J. 11. Lipton, which was entirely consumed;
the flames finally reached the small two
story frame house adjoining, and occupied
by <_ieo. H. \\ eaver, Esq , which was, how
ever, torn down in time to prevent the
spreading of the fire. Mr. Lipton, we be
lieve, rescued nearly all of his furniture
and clothing, although much dama ed
1 he kitchen of the hotel was considerably
damaged, but is repairable. We do not
know how high the total loss has been esti
mated.
A child belonging to Mrs. Poormau, re
siding in Milesburg, was killed last Friday
by being knocked down and run over with
a sleigh. The driver turned out to save
the child from harm, but the latter, from
fright, ran directly into the danger
l)r. 1 homas t. Duncan, who was dragged
for nearly a quarter of a mile, while fast in
the runne s of a sleigh, near Millheim,
last week is doing well, although he was
much injured; but it is supposed t--e injuries
will somewhat disfigure him.
John Mitchell, Esq., an aged and highly
esteemed citizen of this county, while"oa a
\isit to one of his sons, Mr. Hutchison
Mitchell, in Harris township, on last
Wednesday, was suddenly prostrated by a
stroke of apolplexy while at or immediately
after having eaten dinner, and died in a
very short time afterwards.— Bellefonte
Press.
—The latest war news indicates the
capture ot V ilrnington. Sherman's
army is sweeping upwards, and has
probably taken Branchville. On the
16th the rebels blew up Forts Caswell
and Larapbell and abandoned them and
the works on Smith s Island, and thoso
at Smithville and Reeyc's Point.
Gen. Grant reports the capture, in
and around Fort Fisher, of 162 guns,
and our loss as 12 officers and 107 men
killed. 45 officers, 495 men wounded.
—The extensive grocery of John H.
Fritcbey. Altoona, was burned to the
ground on Monday morning a week.
The fire occurred about 1 o'clock, and
the buiidiug, together with all its con
tents, was entirely consumed.
