C., up to Sunday evening. The rebel steamer Nashville was not burned, as reported, but sneoeeded in escaping from Beanfort harbor on the night of the 18th nit. The blockading vessels were not numerous enough to oapture her The bark Glenn, which had been blockaded in the harbor for some time, was set on fira by the rebels on Sunday, and was still burning when the Cambridge left. She was supposed to have boon fitted out as a privateer. The burning of this vessel was, doubtless, prepara tory to an evacuation of the place. Fort Macon had not been blown up by the rebels at last accounts. Contrabands who have arrived at Fortress Monroe from Norfolk, report that the Merrimac was badly injured in the engagement with the Monitor, and at one time the rebels were afraid she would sink. They corroborate the report of the death of Captain Buchanan, and also say that the lieutenant who com manded the Merrimao on Sunday has died, and that several other men on board of her were killed. The Yorktown was also seriously damaged in the fight. A dispatch from Cairo to the St. Louis Republican says that persons who left Memphis lately report Generals Beauregard, Polk, Cheatham and Clark at or near Corinth, Mississippi, where it is expected a great battle will soon be fought. On Thursday morning a reconnoissanoe in force was made toward Big Bethel, and the rebels, to the nnmber of 1,500, fleeing, the plaoe was oeonpied by our troops. Later reports of the battle near Winchester state that the enemy’s loss was much greater than was at first supposed, and the number killed on their side cannot be much le3Sthan one thousand. Additional lists of the killed and wounded on our side are pub lished. Our forces still occupy Strasburg, and all is quiet there. General Shields is improving, and hopes soon to be able to renew his duties in the field. General McClellan sent him a congratulatory dis patch, and also ordered him to follow up the retreat- J ng rebels, to Strasburg, if possible. This, of course was written before receiving information of the occupation of that town by our troops. A number of prisoners taken at Pittsburg, Tenn., have arrived at Cairo. It is stated that Generals Polk and Cheatham, with their commands, have reinforoed General Beauregard, who is at Corinth, Miss. From Fortress Monroe we have important infor mation respecting the future movements of the rebel steamer Merrimae. Contrabands state that, having been fully repaired, she was brought ont of the dry dock on Monday morning; that her crew had been plased on board, and that she was ready for action. Several new guns of heavier oalibre than she used before had been placed on board of her. The rebel steamera Jamestown and Yorktown, having also been greatly strengthened, are fully propared to accompa ny the Merrimae. On Wednesday the Jamestown made a reoonnoissanee, coming down some distance below Craney Island. The Monitor is in a suitable condition for combat, and Liout. Jeffers is anxious to commence operations. Three prominent residents near Island No. 10, who were arrested on the 26th ult., by a detachment of the Twenty-seventh Illinois Regiment, report that two thousand negroes are employed on the Island and at the batteries along the shore ; that sixty-five rebel troops, inoluding two lieutenants and forty ne groes, had been killed by shells from the gunboats ; that the npper shore battery is abandoned, bnt the others are strengthening ; that the enemy is fifteen thousand strong, and that their enoampment has boon moved entirely ont of range of onr guns. The rebels are confident of success, and say that they oan escape whenever they choose. They had plenty of provisions. Three rebel steamers loaded with troops wars seen watching the shore to prevent oommnnioa tion from our lines. The firing had materially slackened on both sides. t&'A complete list of the Borough and Township Officers, recently elected in this oonnty, will be found in to-day's paper. THE FIRST OF APRIL, To day is the First of April, and our city will, as usual, present a busy aspect. A large amount of money will donbtless change hands, and the hopes and fears of many be excited. Pickpookets will be about, and our country friends would do well to keep a Bharp watch on their pocket books. Thanks to Lieut. Col. Duchhan, of the Lancaster County Regiment, for two numbers ;of the Daily Nashville Patriot of the 21st and , 23d ult The papers are rather small in ap peaiahee, and do not contain a great amount ‘ of reading matter. We are glad to know that both onr old and gallant friends, Col. Hah bright and Lieut. Col. Duchman, are in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits.— Two better officers, or more efficient comman ders, are not to be found in any division of the army, and their Regiment is a “ crack” one in drill and efficiency, according to the tea* timony of all the old army officers and others who have witnessed its profioienoy in these particulars.

Colonel William Gray Murray, of the Eighty-fourth Regiment, who fell near Win chester, was a native of Harrisbutg, but Tor some years past a resident of Hollidaysbnrg. The ,despatches state'that, after fighting all dajr onSunday, ho Tell in the evening at the head of his regiment* white cheering on his men, and bat afiew moments before the victory was .won. Col. Murray was about thirty eight years of age. When the war with Mexico broke ont be went as a private in the Cameron Gnards, bnt soon after bis arrival in Mexico he was promoted to a Lientenanoy in the Eleventh Infantry, in whioh he served until the close of the war. In 1848, he settled in Hollidaysbnrg, where he entered into the mercantile business. In 1852, he took an active part in polities, and immediately after the inauguration of Presi dent Pierce he was appointed Postmaster—a position whioh he continued to hold daring President Buchanan's Administration. He was anxioasto enter the regular army when the war first broke ont, and a Captain's commission was offered him, bnt, his wife then being in the last stage of consumption, he re fused to accept it. Shortly after the death of his wife, he commenoed raising a regiment, in which undertaking he was entirely successful, having marohed to the seat of war with a su perior body of men, mostly from Blair and Clearfield eonnties. The remains of Colonel Murray, under charge of Lient. Charles O’Neill, of this city, were brought to Harrisburg, where his mother and sisters resides. He leaves two children. Col. M. was a brother-in-law of late Francis Keenan, Esq., of this oity. The funeral took place on Friday, and the remains were interred at Hollidaysbnrg. penrsylyasia soldiers The bravery of Pennsylvania troops was fully tested on the bloody battle field, near Winchester, Va., on Sunday week. Though bnt small portions of the 84th and 110th regi ments were present, the nnmber of killed and wounded, especially the latter, in each of them was larger than in any full regiment from other States on the ground. A corres pondent of the New York Herald, in describ ing the battle, says: “ The loss on opr side was heaviest in the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania Regiment. Of the five companies of three hundred men, in all engaged, they lost Col. Murray, as dashing and brave an officer as ever drew a sword ; one Captain, one Lieutenant, twenty-three privates and non-commissioned officers killed, and sixty-three wounded.” This is a frightful loss—nearly one-third of the troops engaged—and proves but too pain fully that they lavishly poured ont their blood in the glorious cause in which they are engaged. All honor to the gallant and patriotic sons of the Old Keystone. HOB VIOLENCE, We have always deprecated the application of mob law, no matter against whom directed, or nnder what circumstances. Henoe, when mobs attacked and destroyed printing offices and maltreated their owners, during the last summer, we denounced the lawless aots; and now we just as strongly protest against the recent demonstrations of violence against Wendell Phillips, at Cincinnati, and Sam uel Aaron, at Burlington. We go for the largest liberty in this matter —for freedom of speech and of the press to the fullest extent. Odious and insulting as the BeutimeDts uttered by Phillips and Aaron are, we would much rather Buffer the infliction, than that any of the rights of free men under the Constitution should be trampled under foot—always remembering that (to nse the language of Mr. Jefferson) “ error of opinion may be tolerated so long as reason is left free to combat it.” A MILITARY HOSPITAL, How would it be if the Government were to establish a military hospital in Lancaster ? The facilities for getting to this oity from Washington, Philadelphia and Pittsburg, by railroad, favor the location ; and we have several eminent resident physicians and sur geons in whose hands the sick and disabled soldiers would be treated with great skill and success. Besides all this, careful and attentive nurses could be had in abundanee and at rea sonable rates to attend to the poor sufferers, and we are sure nothing would be omitted on the part of our citizens to minister to their comfort. Will the Government think of these things, and will not some of our influential and patriotic citizens make a move in this matter ? WENDELL. PHILLIPS This notorious Abolitionist and Disunionist is still suffered by the Government to run at large and belch forth his insulting and trea sonable sentiments. Why is this? Is there one law for an Abolitionist and another for a Democrat? It would really seem so, or thiß pestilent fellow would long ere this have been stopped in his infamous career, and been con_ signed to a prison, or, whioh would be better still, to a gallows. There are scores now oonfined in Fort Warren, any one of whom never uttered the tenth part of the treasonable language that he has spewd out of his filthy mouth. He. openly avows himself a rank Disunionist, and is doing all he can to widen the breach between the North and the South, and render a restoration of the Union impos sible. And yet his treason is winked at, if not encouraged, by those in authority ! ESCAPE OF THE NASHVILLE The Cambridge, which arrived at Fortress Monroe on Tuesday, from Beaufort, N. C., brings intelligence of the escape of the rebel privateer Nashville. It appears, says the Philadelphia News, that there were but two vessels blockading the harbor of Beaufort, and the great speed of the Nashville enabled her to evade them. She will doubtless endeavor to do all the misohief she can to the loyal vessels whioh may fall in her way; for, like another celebrated vessel, she knows that “her time will be Bhort.” Her escape is a morti fying incident; but while our naval affairs are managed as they have been for a year past, we can hardly expect anything better. It is now Baid that the “ Merrimae ” is about to come out for another raid, and unless some providential interposition should-prevent her efforts, we may have more humiliating inci dents to record. Perhaps if she were to direot her course towards the Navy Department at Washington, it might divert the attention of the head of that arm of the National defence from the highly important work of providing places for friends and relatives. COLONEL CORCORAN. A mystery seems to hang about the where abouts and condition of Col. Corooran, against whom the rebels seem to have a peenliar spite. Col. Wood and Col. Cogswell both are repre sented as saying that they had conversation with prisoners from Charleston, who said that they had not seen him for several days previous to their quitting that place, and inferred there from thathehad been either removed to another prison or sent further South. Thongh it is well understood that the President has made special exertions to procure the release of Col. Corco ran, yet it is equally well understood that the : rebel authorities will consent to give him up only on oondition that Smith the condemned privateer : or pirate, ■ shall be surrendered to. them. GENERAL SHIELDS. Aoting Major General James Shields is a I native of the county of Tyrone, in Ireland. where he was harp in the year 1810., JJsjis consequently about fifty-two years of age.— He first came to flittlßbunt|rjHn theyear 18?6,(; bring then only sixteen years of age. 1n1832 he went West, and settled in Hash aria, one of, the oldest villages of lllinois, where (be devoted himaelf ter the stndy prah|ice of 'the lawi He was soon' after elected tq’tfiS'' State Legislature, and in 1839 was made State Auditor. Four years later he was appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court, and in 1845, having received from President Pole the appointment of Commissioner of the Gen eral Land Office, he removed to Washington. Upon the breaking ont of the Mexican war daring-the following.year; the same President' appointed Mr. Shields a Brigadier General of United States Volunteers. His commission was dated July I,' 1846. He was present at the siege of Vera Crnz, and was particularly noted. At the battle of Cerro Gordo be dis tinguished himself greatly, and shed his blood in defence of his adopted country. Severely wounded, he continued on the field, urging on his men, until a ball passing throngh his lungs strnok him down. He was carried from the battle field, and was reported so Dear dead that obituary notices appeared of the gallant General in nearly all the papers of the country. It appears that he was entirely given over by the Army Surgeons, when a Mexican Dootor said he would live if he would let him remove the coagulated blood from the wonnd. Shields told him to try, and a fine silk handkerchief was worked and finally drawn throngh the wound, removing the ex travasated blood, when daylight could be seen through the hole. And yet Shields to-day is a hale and hearty man, free from disease or aDy inconvenience from his wonnd, which was considered at the time as mortal, having been made by a large copper ball, and going direotly through his body and lnng. For his gallant and meritorious couduot on this oocasion, he was in August, 1847, breveted a Major General of Volunteers. Still suffering from his wonnds we find him commanding a brigade in the valley of Mexioo, consisting of a battalion of marines and regiments oomposed of New York and South Carolina volunteers. He was also in the battle of Chapultepeo, where, being unhorsed, he fought on foot, bareheaded and in his shirt sleeves, leading his brigade, sword in hand, with a bravery that has made his name remarkable in American history. He was again wounded, and that dangerously, but with care and a good constitution he recovered. His brigade, after performing various deeds, ending in the capture of the City of Mexioo, was disbanded ou the 20th of July, 1848. The war being ended, General Shields laid down the sword, and assumed once more his place in oivil life. He was brilliantly reoeived on his arrival in the United "States, and when he returned to the State of his choice (Illinois) he was elected to fill the position vacated by Mr. Breese —that of Senator from that State—to represent it in the Capitol at Washington. This was in the year 1849. Owing to some technicality he was refused admission as a Senator, when he promptly resigned the post, and was as promptly re-elected. He returned to Wash ington, and for Bix years proved himßelf to be as able iu council as he was on the battle field. In 1855 he left the Senate, leaving at the same time Illinois, and went to settle on the lands awarded to him for his services in the army, which lands he had selected in the Ter ritory of Minnesota. When that tract became a State General Shields was returned to represent it in Congress as a Senator, and took his seat after its admission in May, 1858. General Shields having drawn the short term, he had to vacate his seat in 1859, and not securing a re-election, he went further west into California. From his retirement he was again brought out by the present war, having been appointed by Congress a Brigadier Gen eral, with a commission dating from August 19, 1861. This commission he at first declined, but, deeming it his duty to stand by his adopted country in her troubles, he came forth, and, after a long voyage, reached the capital, where (his name, in consequence of his refusal, hav ing been stricken from the army list) he waited some time before he obtained a com. mand. The lamented death of General Lan der left that Division without a head, and General Shields was at odcb appointed to the command, with the rank of Brigadier General, his division forming part of the corps d’armee of Major General Banks. He has again brought himself before the public by his gal lant acts, has again been wounded upon the battle field, and onoe more our country rings with the name of “General Shields.” General Shields is of good personal ap pearance, about five feet eight inches in stature, with dark complexion. His style of speaking is easy, fluent and agreeable. BASE FORGERY The Republican papers are publishing ex tracts from an abolition pamphlet, whioh they represent to be the production of Gov. Sprague of Rhode Island—in whioh the worst kind of abolition sentiments are avowed. This is a shameless fraud. The Providence Post, some two weeks ago, by authority of Gov. Sprague, branded it as a forgery, declaring that he was neither the author of the vile thing, nor the endorser of its destructive doctrines. Yet those papers, knowing this fact, continue to represent it as his production and to declare its atrocious sentiments to be his ! This fraud was perpetrated to defeat Gov. Sprague’s re election. Such is the treatment he receives from the Republican press and party in return fur the important and patriotic services he has rendered the country and the Government. Such is their “ disregard of party.” Shame on the miserable demagogues who engage in such despicable work. They are too vile for civilized sooiety and fit only for the association of those negroes for whom they seem anxious to sacrifice the welfare of the whole white raoe. But the negroes will be demoralized and degraded by eontaot with them. So says the New Hampshire Patriot. t&'Vfa observe that the Nashville Patriot, one of the secession journals whioh Gov. Johnson has just disciplined into external de cency, publishes with evident satisfaction a considerable portion of Senator Cowan’s late remarkable speeoh against confiscating the slaves of rebels.— N. T. Tribune. This is intended as a fling at SenatorCowAN, but it only affords evidence that the energetic measures of Gov. Johnson have had a whole some effect upon the rebels of Tennessee by inducing one of their journals to lay before its readers a little common sense from the North. jjTow, had the Nashville Patriot published a speeoh of Wendell Phillips, or an article from the Tribune, we should he disposed to think that it was still inclined to stir up mu tiny, and to make the Southern people believe that the North is intent upon their destruc tion ; bnt having commenoed throwing light upon the true object of the Northern people, it is in a.fair way. of leading its misguided followers to repentance. Senator OoVan may congratulate himself that the people of Ten nessee have the opportunity of reading hie. truly patriotic speeoh. Ton to one that Gov. Johnson endorses it. D *®“ The Federal offioers oreated by the tax “bill ■os it rtahdsHt iB t estimat«d, J irill nmn nn f to twenty-six thousand. Quite W&nty 1 THAT’S SO. I The Detroit (Michigan) Free Press, in pub lishing an abstract of the Tax Bill, calls its readers’ attention to the attractive provisions of the measure, and says “ no one needjfear that they have beqß>sliglried.//!A- ca{eftil.iny yestigation will showtibet the invitation is general, embracing everjr class andeverybody, respectfully requesting to ‘ walk up to 'Hgtcaplain’s office . / H “i Our Northern people have b€en dancing an anti-slavery jig, and now they must pay the fiddler. That is all there is of it. We fanoy when the time comes to fork over, they, or at least most of them, will inwardly conolnde that they are pacing ‘to dear for the whistle.’ The ‘great’injustice of it alf is, that those who have resisted political anti-slavery with all their ,-power, .who have a: the. people of the inevitable result, must bear equalburthehs’with the incendiary abolition ist who has brought this load of debt npon the eountry. If secessionists and abolitionists, political anti-slavery leaders and Southern oonspirators could be made to pay the shot, it would he exactly right. But no, the innocent and the gnilty have got to suffer alike. We will not grumble', however, if after all our dangers and trials, we shall have a country saved with a constitution unimpaired. Let no man, however, who has aided political anti slavery try to cheat his oonsoienoe and deny his responsibility for these lamentable results. Every man of ordinary intelligence knows that if there had been no warring by the people of the North upon Southern institutions, no political anti-slavery, this war would not have occurred. One millstone will not crash the grain ; two are always necessary. So Southern conspir ators never wonld have been able to grind ont the rebellion grist without the nether millstone of Northern anti slavery to aid them. One was just as indispensable to the resalt as the other, and it will require a nice adjustment of the scales of justice to discriminate in favor of either, when the moral guilt of both parties shall be tested.” GEN. M’CL ELL AN. The Boston Advertiser speaks with manly indignation of the vile assaults of abolition traitors upon Gen. McClellan. It closes an article upon the subject by saying: “We trust that the people of this oountry will not fail to observe and properly appreciate the course now pursued by the enemies of Mc- Clellan. His defamers have for months made him the object of slanders, trusting to the reserve imposed by his position for secu rity against his reply. Seeing him in the field they now announce beforehand their determi nation to see no merit in any action of his, and seek to depress the confidence of the people and fill the publie mind with unfounded apprehension. The General has trusted to time for the discomfiture of his slanderers, and time will surely brmg it. But public opinion should not fail also to mark for scorn and condemnation those who seek to gratify a personal dislike with such eontempt for the publie welfare and such want of correct principle.” SIGNIFICANT. Wendell Phillips recently delivered a lecture in Washington City, npon whioh it is Baid in the N. Y. Tribune: “ A yeat“ago Wendell Phillips would have been sacrificed to the Devil of Slavery any where on Pennsylvania Avenue. To day he was introduced by Mr. Sumner on the floor of the Senate. The Vice President left his seat and greeted him with marked repect. The attentions of Senators to the Apostle of Abo lition were of the most flattering charaoter.— Marvelous conquest of prejudices, and marvel, ous movement of Northern ideas.” It would he better that ten thousand of the Phillips school should be “ sacrificed to the Devil of Slavery” or any other devil than that the Constitution and Union should be sacri ficed to the Devil of Anti-Slavery, as the above described incident and hundreds of others give too much reason to fear will be the case. TRUK WORDS Tho N. Y. World, a Republican paper, pro-, tests against the attempt of the Sumner- Greeley school of politicians to resusoitate the Republican party “ for the purpose of erasing from the national flag as many stars as it originally contained,” and makes the follow ing statement, which might' be considered prophesy, if it was not the expression of truth already quite patent: “As Boon as the war draws visibly to a close, the Democratic party will, in any event, spring up again in full vigor. Heavy taxa tion, the corrupt squandering of the pablic money brought to light by Congressional com mittees of investigation, and the questionable stretches of power to which the Executive au thority has resorted, will be charged home upon the Republican party, which was alone responsible for the administration.” Tho Detroit Free Press thinks the time has come when the Republican party must cast off Abolitionism—when it must declare for the Constitution or against it. Until it does so the Democracy have a right to hold it responsible for all that Abolition has done to produce rebellion. A political warfare against the rebels is no loDger necessary. It is Bimple nonsense—waste of ink and paper. The army fights them. The only political fight which remains for the North 1b under this very issue —Abolition or Union, treason or loyalty, the Constitution or no Constitution. This is the real issue; and the first and holiest duty of every citizen is to tear the mask of patriotism from thq faces of the extremists and to expose them to infamy as co-conspirators with Davis and Floyd ; as the authors of schemes which, if successful, will extirpate liberty from this continent. FINANCIAL PROSPECTS, The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Post of Saturday says that the financial prospects of the Government have groatly im proved of late, and that Secretary Chase is very, hopeful of procuring, without difficulty, all the means necessary to carry the war to its oonclnsion. The 7.30 Treasury notes, which were at 21 per cent, discount sixty days ago, are now in great demand at a premium. The payment of interest in coin gives much satis faction. The first coupon on the issue of October 1, 1861, is duo on the Ist of April, and will be paid in gold at the varioos Sub- Treasuries. The small pox is raging among the negroes at Beanfort and Hilton Head. The Brigade Surgeon reports that as many as two hundred and fifty to three hundred contra bands have been taken down. As yet, how ever, the disease has not shown itself among the whites, and as guards are kept constantly about the negro portion of the town, the sol diers may escape the contagion. CUMBERLAND COUNTY.

In the Borongh of Shippensburg, too, the Democrats swept every thing, electing the Burgess, four of the five Councilmen, and nearly all the other officers.

Charles O’Neill.—This gallant officer, a Lieutenant In Company C, 84th Regiment, o**o Colonel Mue&ay’s,) arrived at his home in thU city on Wednesday afternoon last, from the field of battle and victory. He had accompanied the remains of the late Murray from Wiechectar to Harcisbotg. Ctutrldj “T®* ifrthe battle near Winchester on fiqnfiay week, had sOfocomntaid of Company C, the Captain being tick, I<bt|tenant having accidentally wounded him tha .engagement commenced. He informs ns took tweaty-twomen Into the and brought ont only four /-.four being killed andfoorteen wonnded.— Ba, himself dij| not eecape. He reoeired a braise from a ahtU-on the right thigh, and ate a alight flesh, wound on the other. His blanket was shot from his shoul- and his cap from off his head. His account of the battle 14 intensely vivid and interesting. The 84th had aboot 300 officers and privates in the fight, which lasted from 10 o'clock in the morning until evening. Colonel Murray fell In the evening at the head of his Regiment. Charley had bean knocked down by the force of the ball which struck his blanket, and the Colonel had turned and asked him if he was hurt; Charley had just replied in the when a minis ball struck the brave and gallant Colonel -directly over the left eye, passing through his head, and killlog him instantly. The body of the Colonel was borne off the field by Lieut. O*N. and two privates.— The Lieutenant says our officers seemed to be an especial mark fcr the LoairianaTigorg, who were in advance pf the enemy. Charley, as is his wont, is extremely modest in all allusions to himself bat speaks In the highest te*™* of the'bravo men of the 84th, who fought gallantly and des perately against much superior forces. Colonel Muk&at was a brother-in-law of the late Fiasco Keenan, Esq, of this city, who was an ancle to Lieut. O’Neul. At. the breaking ont of the present war the Lieuti was an apprentice to the printing business in this office. We know, therefore; pretty well oT what kind of fighting material Charley is made, and It was with much interest and feeling we scanned all the reports of the conduct of the 84tb, and especially its officers, in the fight of Sunday week. We know, farther, that Charley CNeiu. will never flinch from a duty he Is called upon to perform. We look upon him with a sort of home pride, and still consider the gallant little fellow a highly honored and esteemed mem ber of the Intelligencer family. Lieut. Ltkan Mishler.— Ever sinoe the news of the battle in New Mexico, atwhieh “Lieut. Mieh ler” was reported among the killed, the family and friends of Lieut Lnua Muhler have been in a state of palnfnl suspense, to know whether the deceased was that gallant young officer, or Lieut Miehler, of Easton. The New Tork Tima having stated that it was the latter, Mr. Benjamin Mlsbler, of this city, wrote Mr. Francis Miehler, of Easton, maklog inquiries in regard to the matter. Mr. Miehler in reply says, “I scares know how, my dear sir, to answer your letter, feeling that I must almost confirm your worst foars in relation to your son. I have throe brothers in the army; the eldest, Nathaniel, being a captain in the topo graphical corps of the regular army. They are all now, to our certain knowledge, at Nashville, Tenn., the Captain being one of Gen. Buell's staff." This would seem to settle the donbt as to the identity of the deceased; and we can only join in the beantifol and patriotic sentiment of the letter from which we quote, that if these worst apprehen sions should be realised by official information, “it cannot fall to prove a pride and glory to hta bereaved parents, after the shock of so sore a realization shall have been, by the soothing effect of time and the goodness of God, partially recovered from, that their son died sustaining bis honor and that of bis coantry beneath that old rqyered emblem of oar liberties, and that they were able to give for the preservation of their country in her time of sore trial and noed, from their best heart’s blood, a heroic soul, who fell nobly and bravely maintaining the honor of onr flag to the last, and died the death of a patriot. And the mem ory of that son will be cherished by a grateful people, and his name be enshrined along with those noble ones who have gone before him, who dared to die for the honor and glory of their country.” Lieut. Lyman Mishler was one of the most accomplished of the graduates of bis class at West Point, and In the sword exercise he bad few equals and no superior. Hit only brother, Henry Mishler, Is a member of Capt. Bar ton’s company, of the First Reserves.

Fishery Meeting at Bainbridge.—A meet log was held in thepablic sebool house in the village of Bain bridge, on Tuesday last, with a view to compel the Basque hanoa Canal Company so to arrange their as to allow the free passage of fish up the Basquehanna. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Emanuel Nagle, who, by request, read the following written OPINION. “ Having been requested to give an opinion in writing, as tb whether the Susquehanna Canal Company have the legal right to maintain tbelr dam as at present constructed at Colombia, Lancaster county, especially with reference to said dam obstructing the passage of fish, and as to the remedy if aoy against the Company by citizens of the Commonwealth aggrieved. We give briefly the following opinion: “ First: We are of the opinion that the right to fish In the great navigable rivers of Pennsylvania, is a right com mon to all citizens of the Commonwealth, and with it the right to have the fish to pass freely through the waters of such rivers, and such passage cannot be obstructed and stopped except by express euactment of the Legis lature. “Second: If at Common Law a right to obstruct the passage of fish were doubtful, early legislative enactments in Pennsylvania have prohibited all such obstructions. “ Third : The supplement to the charter of the Susque hanna Canal Company, authorizing the construction of a dam at Columbia, expressly provides that the same shall not impede the ascent of fish, and requires such dam to be of a given height and sloped ‘ so as to promote the passage ot fisha subsequent enactment of the Legislature, fur ther provides for the construction of said dam so aa to pro mote the passage of fish. Any dam constructed in a man ner essentially different from that authorized by law, and placed in the Susquehanna river, would, in our opinion, constitute a nuisance, and as this dam is notoriously con structed, as you state to us, to violation of the terms and provisions of the charter of the Company, and the several acts of the Assembly relating thereto, sneb dam Is a com mon nuisance. The compauy cannot plead a Legislative license, for the license does not authorize such a dam as they have constructed, but a structure of a different character, preserving the valuable common rights of navi gation &Dd fishing. Nor can the Company avail themselves of aoy advantage from the lapse of time, for the nuisance continues, and no one can acquire the right to maintain a public nuisance, and the length of time the same exists only aggravates the offence. “ The only remedy we conceive is by indictment in the name of the Commonwealth, aod are of the opinion that a corporation can be indicted for maintaining a public nuisaooe. We therefore advise if proceedings are intended to be Instituted, that complaint be made against the Com pauy for maintaining a public nuisance. After the reading of the opinion, a committee was ap pointed to take the necessary legal steps to bring the mat ter before the proper tribunal. M. E.

WHO ARB BfiiBSUBS OB* THE VSIOK f Let us take, upon this question, the teetii mony of one of the most devoted as well as most efficient friends of the Union: “ The worst enemies of the Constitution are those whose constant cry is for the blood of the rebels and the confiscation of their estates, with the emancipation of the slaves, and who, to reach their purposes, would trample the Constitution, the right of property, and the principles of humanity under foot, and blast forever the prosperity of the nation. Suoh men propose to establish, through congressional action, provisional gov ernments over the seceded States.” —Extract from a Speech of Eon. James Guthrie. And let us add the testimony of the present Postmaster General who, in a letter to the abolition meeting reoently held in New York, to which he was invited hut whioh he refused to attend, thus rebnkes the callers of the meeting: “ I do not concur in, the proposition that certain States have been “reoently overturned, and subverted as members of the Federal Union,” upon whioh the call is baaed. This is in substance what the Confederates them selves claim, and the fact that secession is maintained by the authors of this call for a different purpose, does not make it more con stitutional, or prevent them from being actual aiders and abettors of the Confederates!” The Philadelphia Inquirer, allnding to the Pennsylvania Senate granting permission to Phillips to leoture in the Chamber, scores that body and their champion most unmercifully. Of Phillips it says : “ This man is at best but on a par with Breckinridge as an utterer of “ polished treason,” and why he should be petted, aided and comforted by the Senate of this Common wealth is a mystery to all bat those who know how far the blind infatuation of party will oompel its subservient adherents to go. If a tithe of what has been reoently uttered by this itinerant mischief maker had been spoken by any ohampion of treason on the opposite side, the whole tribe who follow, applaud and idol ise Phillips would clamor for the immediate incarceration of his adversary in Fort Lafay ette. Yet we see a party majority in the Senate of our loyal and conservative Common wealth patronizing this preacher of disoord and disunion." We have never objected to the Republicans taking to themselves the offices, hat have de nounced their hypocrisy in pretending to dis regard party while betraying more party zeal than ever, and appropriating to themselves all the benefits of party success. The N. Y. Atlas has investigated the affairs of the New York Custom House, and learns the following facts: “ Out of 227 put-door offioers—inspectors, weighers, gaugers and measurers—all but 27 have been removed by Barney, whioh is a much larger proportion than was ever before removed by any collector; and yet Mr. Barney has fallen far short of giving satisfaction to his party. The proportion of inside olerke pro scribed is not known ezaetly, but it is supposed to equal if not exceed the ratio of beheaded inspectors." O. J. DICKEY, H. B. SWARR Oar gallant countryman, General James Shields, has more than justified the expecta tions entertained in his regard by those who, from the beginning of this unhappy war, have claimed for him a foremost plaoe among the defenders of the Union. Scarce four weeks have elapsed since he assumed the eommaDd assigned to him, and in that time he has covered the army of the Repnblio with new glory, and has again shed his own blood in its caase. His division led the advance of the army and drove the rebels out of their posi tions at Winchester, Charlestown, Martins bnrg and Strasbnrg. On Snnday week, his troops (numbering about 8,000) encountered some 8,000 or 10,000 of the rebels under Oens. Jackson', Smith and Longßtreet, on the Strasburg road, four miles from Winchester. The battle lasted all the afternoon and re sulted in the total rout of the rebels, with the loss of one hundred killed and two hundred wounded. Our loss is stated at half that amount. Qen. Shields was slightly wonnded by a fragment of a shell. Our forces captured a large number of prisoners, two guns, and a great quantity of mußkets and equipments.— Three hundred rebel prisoners were taken, and the remainder were so utterly disorgan ized that it is expected they will be captured in detail by the pursuing force.— lrish Amer ican. IHPORTAST POLITICAL MOVEMENT. A democratic conference was held here last night, eontinuing until a late hour. The call was signed by all exoepting four or five of the members of Congress who were elected as dem ocrats. Representative Corning presided; Representatives Pendleton and Sbiel aoted as Secretaries. An injunction was placed on all present not to reveal the proceedings. It is, however, ascertained from private conversa tions to day that the conference was princi pally confined to the consideration of the res olutions reported from a committee of which Yailandigbam was chairmao, declaring in sub stance that the restoration of the Union and maintenance of the Constitution requires that the organization and principles.of the demo cratic party of the United States should be fully and faithfully adhered to, and inviting all oitizens without distinction of section or party, to co operate with the democratic party in supporting the Constitution and restoring the old Union. A committee of one from each State represented by democrats, either in the Senate or House, was appointed to report at a future conference. The names of the members are not yet known. It is under> stood that several members from the border slave States were present and participated in the proceedings. The entire number at the meeting was about forty. The proceedings are represented as having been harmonious. Abolition Movehents. —We leam from the New York Evening Post that Senator Wilson’s bill provides that the United States Government will pay the States of Maryland and Delaware $250 for each slave they will emancipate. There are 90,000 slaves in those States, and the bill, therefore, calls upon the people of the North for over twenty two mil lions of dollars, if those States should accept the proposition and Bet fires the slaves. If any thing could reconcile ns to this unconstitu tional and offensive scheme, it would be an amendment that the free negroes should all settle in Massachusetts and become a part of Senator Wilson’s constituents 1 tSf* Hon. H. D. Maxwell has been ap pointed Judge of the Third Judicial District, vice Judge Bindley, resigned. The appoint mient it is- said was 'urged on'Qorernor Curtin by the unanimous application of the legal pro fession of the Distrust. WENDELL PHILLIPS. “ NO PARTY.” GEN.

McClellan has been severely abased by a large portion of the Republican press and politicians because he allowed the rebels to evaouate Manassas, instead of attaoking them there; and those members of Congress who so distinguished themselves by their run from Bull Run, proposed to pass a resolution requesting the President to remove him from oommand therefor. The following letter from a high officer in the regular army, published in the N. Y. Times, may enable the people to form a more correot opinion in regard to this matter : Headquarters Army of the Potomac, ) Friday, March 14,1862. J My Dear Sir: A brief parenthesis in the midst of pressing duties enables me to send you a line of acknowledgment for yours, whioh' I received yesterday, at Fairfax Court House. We arrived there on Monday, and the next day went on to Manassas Junction. The whole country is deserted by white and blaok. The Junction was still smoking with the parting conflagration of the rebels, their last division having left the day before onr arrival. We found the usual monuments of rebel. civilization and presence—houseless chim neys rising from the smouldering rains.— Provisions and forage, clothing and camp equipage, were recklessly scattered round in burning heaps, showing the hot baste and terrible panic in which the traitors had departed. The entire State of Virginia is surrendered to the Rappahannock, and we have thus obtained all the fruits of. a great viotory, without the loss of a single life. Those who think that war oonsists only in fighting, and producing individual suffering and misery instead of military results, will of course rave and denounce as usual. Those who have read history and understand it will think otherwise. Marlborough had ten cam paigns, and fought but five pitched battles, and with comparatively limited results ; while McClellan’s winter campaign has extended the flag of the United States over 150,000 miles of territory lately held by the traitors. The wise, intelligent and humane, who know that the Union can be restored only by the least exasperation and alienation, will applaud the commander who achieves for his coantry great ends by peaceful means. We might, it is true, have fought a great battle at Centreville, and possibly have won it. But the plaoe is very strongly fortified, and the quarters, which extend for miles arunnd it, can accommodate 100,000 men. We might thus have manufactured thousands of widows and orphans in defeating the enemy, with scarcely a possibility of capturing any con siderable portion of them, they having two railroads in the rear by which to retreat, while the effect upon the termination of the war would have been no more decisive than that now achieved by strategy. The rebels have Inst all the resources of oneithird of Eastern Virginia by onr bloodless victory, and failed to gam‘anything by their sanguinary success at Ball Run. The malig nant blockheads who pour their mendacious slanders upon McClellan through the appro priate funnel of the Tribune cannot compre hend the conduct of a war except through channels of blood, nor judge of its effeota except as seen and heard in the ories and lamentations of broken hearted women and obildren. Let them rail on. Thns far Mo- Clellan’s strategy has been eminently success ful, and has exemplified and illustrated the highest qualities of a commander. WENDELL PHILLIPS MOBBED AT CINCINNATI-GREAT EXCITEMENT. Cincinnati, March 24. Wendell Phillips attempted to lecture at Pike’s Opera House to night. He commenced by avowing himself an Abo litionist and a Disunionist. Persons in the galleries then hissed, yelled and threw eggs and Btones at him, many of whioh hit him.— The hissing was kept np for Borne time. Finally Phillips made himself heard, and he proceeded until something again objectionable was said, when the storm of eggs was renewed. The aim in many cases was good. Still Phil lips persevered, and a third time was hissed, and a third time egged and Btoned. The crowd from the galleries then moved down stairs, crying “ pat him out,” “ tar and feather him I” with groans for the “ nigger Wendell Phillips.” While proceeding down the middle aisle towards the stage, they were met by the friends of Phillips, when a fight ensned. A scene of indeseribable confusion occurred. The ladies in the audience were screaming, crying, jumping over chairs and falling in all directions daring the skirmish. Finally Phillips was taken off the stage by his friends, and the audience moved out. At this hoar (10 o’clock, p. m.) the streets in the vicinity of the Opera House are crowded with excited people, wbo are searohing for bat anable to find Phillips. No one has been seriously hart, as far as can be learned. US' ‘‘The Life of the Flesh is in the Blood,” was said by inspiration long before Harvey’s discovery of its circulation had brought to light its purposes and uses. Now we know not only that “ life is in the blood,” but that disease inhabits-it also. Many of the disor ders that pervade the human frame, have their home in it, thrive and grow in it. The cele brated Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, has had regard to this important fact in making a Remedy to oure these disorders. His Extraot of Sarsaparilla purges out the impurities of the blood and induces a healthy action in it that expels disease. This looks reasonable, and it is true, for we know by onr own expe rience. Seldom as we take any medicine, wo have nevertheless several times been under obligations to the Bkill of Dr. Ayer for the relief which his remedies never fail to afford ns when we are obliged to have recourse to them.— Catholic, Halifax, N. S. A FRAUD ON GOVERNOR SPRAGUE. A gross fraud has been perpetrated by some of the anti-slavery party on the patriotie and Democratic Governor of Rhode Island. A pamphlet has been published, entitled Gover nor Sprague?s Pamphlet, containing a: large amount of Abolitionism. This, has been widely copied by the radical papers,-and ex tracts are afloat, headed Governor Sprague?s anti-slavery views, orwith similar titles. We ars authorized to state that'the pam phlet is a fraud on the Governor; that he not only has never written anything of the sort, but that hie views are distinctly opposed to those contained in thiß fraudulent doqqment. The radical papers will probably continue the publication of this forgery, and it .should be corrected by conservative papers trharrfwr it is found. —Jcmmal of Telia
