The Philadelphia Inquirer seems to have been the only paper which lias given Captain Selheimer's company the proper credit for the energy always ex hibited by Lewistown in sending men into the field, are! without knowing who its Harrisburg correspondent is, we are sure the men as well as our cit izens, all thank him for his meed of praise. It is singular our town has re ceived so little credit for its previous efforts in furnishing companies, as on no less ihitfi four different occasions i we have been first or among the first, j 'ihus in 1861 the Logan Guards were j among the first at Harrisburg under j the call for 75,000 men, and although j John W Forney shook hands with some of them on the steps of the cap itol at "V\ ashington, in a speech made here a few years ago, fie hardly refer red to that patriotic hand at ail, while he did to others that came behind them. Again in the emergencies of 1862 and I*o3, we had companies among the first on the ground, and made another j prompt response for the Shade Gap ! campaign. We ask credit where cred- I it is due—-nothing more, nothing less. | Fry and Dodge Again. About one hundred young men, com- \ posing one of the finest companies ev- j er raised here, desirous of avoiding the I draft, left this place last week for Har risburg, the supposition being that am ple provision had been made for their reception, the orders f rom the War De partment having stipulated that they were to be mustered in on the 7th.— As usual since the commencement of the war, this company was the first on the ground, hut after reaching there through a blustering snow storm, chill ed to the bone, they found no prepara tion cither for food, shelter or comfort, the miserable apologies for U. S. offi cers there appearing totally uncon cerned about them. Such as had means sought food and shelter at their own expense—the saloons and eating houses charging them prices which only heartiess scoundrels would have dared to charge. Next day the matter was brought to the notice of the Legisla ture, and on the following day the an nexed proceedings took place: Mr. Lowry, from the Military Commit tee, submitted the following: Harrisburg, Feb. 8, 1865. The Committer on the Militia report that they, in company with the Military Committee of the House of Representa tives, (who unite with the committee of the Senate in this report,) accompanied by the Commissary General of the State, this day visited Camp Curtin, near this city. They find that the quarters at Camp Curtin are altogether insufficient for the necessities of the times. The buildings already constructed are all in use for hospi tals, storehouses, cook bouses, invalid corps, guard bouse, See., Ac. Soldiers who enlist for their country's defence come to Camp Curtin, the general rendezvous for our State troops, and find no quarters to pro tect them. Your committee saw the frail cmvtws tente in which soldiers last night rested, and conversed with young men, fresh from their comfortable homes, who laid in those tents without blankets. They have no fire except a log wood-fire; built in the open air and upon the snow and frozen earth; and there shivering young men, with the Lars from mother's eyes scarcely dry upon their temples, cangregate to eat their meals from tin plates. These things are all wrong, and Pennsylvania should not tolerate them. Your committee were informed, by what appeared to be good authority, that <Japt. Dodge, the commander of the poat, had often been requested to provide additional accommodations. They were further in formed that he had not been at the camp for mr-ntha. They were informed and be lirved that the personal relations between the Executive of the State and Captain Dodge are not of the most fr'cndiy char acter. It iB not for your committee to inquire who is to blame for this state of things Hut, inasmuch as the brave men of Penn sylvania suffer by it, we thick it lor the interest of the serviie that a remedy be suggested. e therefore re tommend that the Legislature of Pennsylvania request the President to remove Captain Dodge from this position, and send in his place some officer who will co-operate with the State authorities, and give such comforts to the soldiers of Pennsylvania as the common dictates of humanity require. M B. LOWRY, Chairman of Senate Committee. JA.S. II KELLEY, {Chairman of House Committee. If these facts do not result in the re moval or dismissal of these officials by the President, we must confess to have lost much of that confidence we al ways had in Abraham Lincoln doing riglit. Every traveler provides food for his horse —every drover of cattle or hogs would endeavor to mitigate the sufferings of the brutes in his charge during such inclement weather u9 we had last week—but if men who avow thoir willingness to endure the priva tions and dangers of war are not re garded as of a.* much importance as a brute by a putfed-up official, and he is not summarily dismissed, we shall here after have little faith in public honesty or public virtue. Notwithstanding ail these untoward circumstances, most of the men re mained, and finally agreed with a com mittee for local bounty, hut here Fry and Dodge again stepped in with an order that none of the men were to re ceive more than 820 —the remainder to he taken charge of by the valiant Dodge or some paymaster who wouid hand it over when they yol to the army I As quite a number composing the com pany had some previous experience of the "promises to pay," made by offi cials, they properly refused to be mus tered, and nearly ail returned borne on Friday and Saturday considerably out of pocket. Many of the men had fam ilies, who would of course in whole or part be dependent on this bounty for support, and although every fair pro position that could be thought of was offered—including one that the money should be placed in the hands of third parties—nothing but the "pound of flesh" would do for the Shylocks. On Saturday evening the company held a meeting at the Court House, and de termined to make another eflort by sending a committee to Harrisburg, who having received assurances that the money would shortly be paid, the company again left last night. The idea of putting young men in the country, who have fixed residences and everything to bind them to their homes, in the same category with the bounty jumpers of the cities, a class notoriously composed of the very dregs of all nations, who infest those places for thieving purposes, is an idea as nonsensical as it is insulting, because in nowise applicable to an entire com pany of men volunteering from one lo cality. --We see it stated that J.

The Peace Question Secretary Seward, in a despatch to Mr. Adams, our Minister to England. gives a full and succinct account of the interview between President Lincoln i and Mr. Seward and the rebel com missioners. It terminated without ! results, as it appears the rebels had i nothing whatever to offer which would , tend to a restoration of the Union, and from subsequent declarations of the arch-traitor Davis it is clear he has no terms to offer except on the : basis of the independence of his nigger confederacy. The following Seward's despatch: It is a truism that in time of peace there are a.ways instigators of war. So soon as a war begins there are citizens who impa tiently demand negotiations of peace. The advocates of war after an agitatioD longer or shorter, generally gain their fearful end. ; though the war declared is not unfrequent- i iy unnecessary and unwise. 80 peace agi- i tators in time of war ultimately bring about an abandonment of conflict, sometimes without securing the advantages which were originally explctcd from the conflict. The agitators for war ID time of peace, and for peace in time of war, are not ne cessarily, or perhaps ordinarily, unpatriotic in their purposes or motives Results alone determine whether they are wise or j unwise. The treaty of peace concluded at ! Gaudaloupe Hidalgo was secured bv au ir i regular negotiation under the don of the I Government. Some of the efforts which j have been made to bring about negotiations, with a view to end our civil war, are knoKD to the w hole world, because they have em ; ployed foreign as well as domestic agents Others, with whom you have had to deal j confidentially, are known to yourself, al though they hive not publicly transpired ; Other efforts have occurred here which are known only the persons actually moving in tbem and to this Government. lam now to give for your information an account of an affair of the same genera! character, which recently received much attention here, and which doubtless will excite inqui ry abroad. A few days ago Francis P. Rlair, Esq , of Maryland, obtained from the President a simple leave to pass through our military lines, without definite views kn -wn to the Government. Mr. Blair visited Richmond, and on i.is return he showed to the President a letter which .Jefferson Davis had written to Mr. Blair, in which Mr. Davis wrote that Mr. Blair was at liberty to say to President Lincoln that Mr. Davis was now, as he always had been, willing to send commissioners if as sured they would be received, or to receive any that should be sent; that he was not disposed to find obstacles in forms. He would send commissioners to confer with the President with a view to the restoration of peace between the two countries, if he could be assured they would be received. The President, therefore, on the 18th day of January addressed a note to Mr. Blair, in which the President, after acknowl edging that he had read the note of Mr. Davis, said that he w s and always should be willing to receive any agent that Mr. Davis, or any other influential person now actually resisting the authority of the Gov ernment, might send to confer informally with the President, with a view to the res toraticn of peace to the people of our com mon country. Mr. Blair visited Richmond with this letter and then again came back to Wash ington. On the 29th instant we were advised from the camp of Lieut, Gen. Grant, that Alexander H. Stephens. R. M. T. Hunter, and John A. Campbell, were ap plying for leave to pass through the lines to Washington, as peace commissioners to confer with the President. They were permitted by the Lieutenant General to come to his headquarters to await there the decisiou of the President. Major Kckert was sent down to meet the party from Rich mond at General Grant headquarters. The Major was directed to deliver to them a copy of the President's letter to Mr. Blair, with a note to be addressed to them and signed by the Major, in which they were dire tly informed that they should be al lowed to pass our lines. Tbey would be understood as coming for an informal con ference upon the basis of the aforeuamed letter of the 18th of January to Mr. Blair If they should express their assent to this condition in writing, then Major Eckert was directed to give them safe conduct to Fortress Monroe where a person coming from the President would meet them. It being thought probable, from a report of the con versation with Lieut. Gen. Grant, that the Richmond party would in the manner pre scribed accept the condition mentioned, the Secretary of State was charged by the President with the duty of representingthis Government in the expected informal con ference. The Secretary arrived at Fortress Monroe in the night of the first day of February. Major Eckert met him on the morning of the 2d of February, with the information that the persons who had come from Ricnmond had not accepted in writing the condition upen which he was allowed to give them conduct to Fortress Monroe. The Major had given the same information by telegraph to the President at Washing ton. On receiving this inform tion the President prepared a telegram directing the Secretary to return to Washington. The Secretary waß preparing at the same moment to return, without waiting for in formation from the President. But at this juncture Lieut. Gen. Grant telegraphed to the Secretary of War, as well as to the Secretary of State, that the party from Richmond had reconsidered and accepted the condition tendered them through Major Eckert, and Gen. Grant urgently advised the Presideut to confer in person with the Richmond party. Under these circumstan ces the Secretary, by the President's direc tion, remained at Fortress Monroe, and the President joined him there on the night of the 2d of February The Richmond party was brought down the James river ia a United States steam transport, during the day, and the trans port was anchored in Hampton Roads on the uioriDg of the 3d. The President, at tended by the Secretary, received Messrs, Stephens, Hunter, and Campbell, on board the I nited States steam transport River Queen, in Hampton Roads. The conference was altogether informal. There was no attendance of secretaries, clerks, or witnesses. Nothing was written or read. The conversation, although earnest and free, was calm and courteous and kind, on both sides The Richmond party ap proached the discussion rather indirectly, and at no time did they make categorical demands or tender formal stipulations or absolute refusals; nevertheless, during the conference, which lasted four hours, the several points at issue between the Gov ernment and the insurgents were distinctly raised and discussed fully, intelligently, and in an amicable spirit. What the in surgent party seemed chiefly to favor was a postponement of the question of separation upon which the war was waged, and a mu tual direction of the efforts of the Govern ment as well as those of the insurgents, to some extraneous policy or scheme for a season, during which passions might be eipected to subside and the armies be reduced, aud intercourse between the peo ple of both sections be resumed. It was suggested by them that through such postponement we might now have immediate peace, with some, not very certain, prospect of an ultimate satisfactory adjustment of political relations between the Government and the States, section or people now engaged in conflict with it. The suggestion, though deliberately con sidered, was nevertheless regarded by the President as one of armistice or truce, and he announced that we can ag'ee to no cessation or suspension of hostilities except on the basis of the disbandonruent of the insurgent forces, and the restoration of the national authority throughout all the States in the Union collaterally, and in subordination to the proposition which was thus announced. The anti slavery policy of the United States was reviewed in al! its bearings, and the President announced that he must not be expected to depart from the positious he had heretofore assumed in his proclamation of emancipation and other documents, as these positions were reiterated in his annual message. It was futher declared by the President that the complete restoration ot the national authority everywhere was an indispensable condition of any assent on our part to what ever form of peace might be proposed. The President assured the other party that while he must adhere to these positions he would be prepared, so far as power was lodged with the Executive, to exercise liberality. Its power, however, is limited by the Constitution, and when peace should be made Congress must necessarily act in regard to appropriations of money and to the admission of representatives from the in surrectionary States. The Richmond party werp then informed that Congress had on the 31st ult, adopted, by a constitutional majority, a joint res olution submitting to the several States the proposition to abolish slavery throughout the Union, and that there is every reason to expect that it will soon he accepted by three fourths of the States, so as to become a part of the national organic law. The conference came to an end by mutual acquiescence, without producing an agree ment of views upon the several matters discussed, or any of them. Nevertheless, it is perhaps of some importance that we have been able to submit our opinions and views directly to prominent insurgents, and to hear them in answer, in a courteous and not unfriendly manner. WAR NEWS. The left wing of the army of the Poto mac commenced a movement last week to wards Hatcher's run, the scene of a former battle, and succeeded in extending our lines about lour miles. On the first day our loss was small, but on the second the rebels made a determined attack on our forces, one division of which at first gave way, but being reinforced, held on to the ground first obtained. Our permanent lines now extend from what was formerly the extreme left at Fort Cummings, on the Squirrel Level road, to and across Hatcher's run, at Armstrong Mill, with the advance well out towards Dabney's Mill, a distance of about 4 miles, all of which ground has been wrested from the rebels in three days, aod makes the line much safer and more formidable than before. The total losses in this movement are from 800 to 1000 killed, wounded and missing. A correspondent giving sorao de tails of the fight on Tuesday, the 6th, thus speaks of the part taken by the sth Corps, a brigade of which was commanded by Col. T. F. McCoy of this place: Whatever Monday night might hate been, as seen through misconception of facts, mete orologically speaking, it was the most miser able day cf the wiDter. A cold driving rain, that froze as it fell, began falling at daybreak and continued without intermission until nightfall. Thisraindoubtless interfered with operations somewhat, as the lines continued quiet until the middle of the afternoon. It was discovered, however, that Mahone was impudently near our lines, and it was deter mined to drive him off. General Crawford was selected to do the work, and gallantly he did it, having as a support a brigade of the Sixth Corps, which however was not called on, so thoroughly did the Third Division en ter into the work. The brigades of General Baxter, Bragg and the Third, commanded to day by Colonel McCoy, of the One hundred' and-seventh Pennsylvania, by reason of the wounding of General Morrow, entered simul taneously and vied with each other as to who should do most. The rebel skirmish line was ' driven back pelt mell, and Muh me's main line was slowly forced back, by dint of hard fighting, for some distance and beyond his line of rifle pits, when, the object being at tained, Crawford was baited by the orders of General Warren, but still maintained bis po sition. Hovr severe this fight was can be | seen from the fact that Crawford's loss was forty threa killed and over one hundred and fifty wounded It should be remembered, • too. that in all our fighting very little arrii j lery has been used r n either side, the densely ; woixled nature of the country rendering it unavailable. Rebel reports say that Sherman's army i advancing through South Car j olina, and has no doubt cut all the i Southern railroads. Besides a report j that Mobile has been evacuated, there j is is no other news. The Lungs —The cold and changeable weather tells terribly on those who have weak and diseased lungs. Many are suffering at I this time with affections of the throat and • lungs. Bronchitis is becoming a very com uun affliction. Those who are predisposed i to Colds, Coughs, Bronchitis, ic., should i avoid the night air. There are many prepa | rations recommended fur these diseases, but there is not a doubt that Dr. Strickland's i Mellifluous Cough Balsam is the best remedy. ; We have known it to effect cures in the worst | cases of Coughs, Colds. Bronchitis. Asthma, ! and primary eases of Consumption. 1 To CoiistiiPiiptivvn. The undersigned having been restored to i health in a lew weeks, by a very simple rem i edv, after having suffered several years, with I a severe lung affection, and that dread dis j ease Consumption—is anxious to make known , to his fellow sufferers the means of cure.

It is a positive and at the same [ time an interesting fact, that our sick soldiers who are so fortunate as to obtain a bottle of j Pinkerton'e W.vhoo and Calisaya Bitters, ; gain strength much faster, and are sooner 1 able to do duty on the battle field, than those ! who are deprived of them. This is owing to ' the stubborn fact that these Bitters are the greatest renovator and purifier ever offered !to the public. This is no idle talk- No one i ever used these Bitters but was highly de i lighted with the beneficial results arising I from tbeir daily use. We are glad to learn | i that steps are being tnken to supply the sick | soldiers in our camps and hospitals with i \ these Bitters. It is a humane and benevo j I lent object.
