SinMorbiUprto. E. (J. GOODRICH, EDITOR. TOWANDA: Thursday Morning, January 3D, 1862. THE LATEST WAR NEWS. There is no intelligence of the Burnside ex pedition, now fifteen days out Th' Xnrfulk Day Book of Saturday contains uot a word about it. The. Xewbem Progress of Thursday last says, iu reference to its reported presence in Pamlico Sound, " we were Dot sure that " there is uow, or ever has beeu a Yaukee " gunboat over the swash at llatteras." The reports are all to the effect that nothing has beeo seen of the fleet in the sound. Greut anxiety prevails amuug the rebels to kuow where the expedition is to strike. . They will learn in good season, aud at a point where they least expect to hear from it. There is a report from rebel sources that the steamer Louisiana, of the expedition, had been beached aud turned to save her from the rebels, but no particulars are given. k rom The Charleston Mtrtnry we learn that I nion forces, under Gen. Sherman, now hold that position on the main lsnd bordering on the Coosaw River and stretching from Chrisholms to the Ferry, aud having mounted guns on the deserted rebel batteries,and other wise strengthened the position. Chrisholms is on the Bull River, about two miles from the Coosaw and seven or eight from Port Royal Ferry. Secent intelligence leads to the belief that most of the rebel soldiers directly in front of Washington are housed between Bull Run aud .Manassas ; a sufficient forge to mau the forts at Centreville ouly being left there. It is be lieved that a large portion of the aro>y of the Potomac is distrionted at various points in A irginia.ftpon the lines of railroads-converging at Manassas. By this plan they can be more easily subsisted, aud at the same time be rap idly transported to a point of danger. The Expidition from Cape Girardeau to Benton and Bloomfield, Missouri, captured a Lieutenant, Colonel, eleven other officers, and 08 privates, with a quantity of arms, a number of horses, and equipments. Most of the Rebel offieers were surprised aud captured in a ball room. The Charleston Mercury gives the particulars of the capture of Cedar Keys, Florida, by our forces, and adds that three schoouers aod five fishiDg-smacks were taken. The schoon ers were loaded with lumber and turpentine. Col. Reynolds, the Government agent at Port Royal to superintend the gathering, ginning aud transportation of cotton on the sea.islands, arrived in Washingtou on Sooday nnd had a long interview with the Secretary of the Treasury. He has already secured more than $1,000,000 worth of cottou. The two or three thousand negroes just freed are industrious and orderly, and do their woik well aud cheerfully. They need clothing aud medical attend luce. He desires to take back with him an ample supply of the former, and several physicians who shall devote themselves to these workmen. Each new details, which reaches ns, of the !ato battle near Somerset, which has been styled the battle of Spring Mill,furnishes addi tional evidence of the completeness of our victory, and the gallautry of oar troops. Jn wresting a victory from superior uumbers, un der disadvantageous circumstances, they dis played a degree of hardihood and courage which has rarely been equalled in any age or country. The rebel General Zollicoffer met his death io a contest with Colonel Fry, of the Fourth Kentucky Regiment, when the com batants were but a few yards distant from each other. Au attack is daily anticipated on General McCall's division by the rebel forces encamp ed at Centreville. Small rebel recounoitering parties are daily seen within three or four miles of our lines. The Leesburg turnpike is closely watched by General MeCall, who is always prepared far battle at any hoar of the day or night. It is stated that the term of enlistment of the,whole rebel force encamped at Centreville, which is estimated at sixty thousand men, will expire on the first of February next. This in formation is derived from deserters. MEXICO. —The combined Euro pearl Spanish, French, and English—is in occupy tion of \ era Cruz, but are singularly situated. They receive scarc?ly any food or forage from the interior, and are particularly in want of vegetables. The Mexicans, for once perceiv ing the advantages of union, have allowed their political quarrels to subside, and are heartily acting together for their country.— They actually are bestigiug Vera Cruz, land ward, and their attack on it is anticipated by the allied iuvadcrs. This condition of affairs is considered as unsatisfactory as unexpected. A TRAITOR DEAD. —On Tuesday-last we re ceived the news of the death of Ex-President John Tyler. He has been an industrious trai tor, and the country may rejoice that a kind Providence has removed one of its most assid uous enemies, and saved the Government the expense of a halter. Ihe proposition of imposing a tax of ten per cent upon the pay of the Army, in preference to reducing the rates, meets with favor from officers and men, and will soon be introduced in Congress. It is also proposed to tax at the same rate the pay of all Union em ployees PENNSYLVANIA AHEAD AND ADVANCING! The alacrity with which Pennsylvania made response to the President's call, to arms ! has thrilled the heart of every loyal citizen with a patriotic pride ; and the emphasis given to her response, by the numbers of her soldiers, di rected upon her the eyes of her sister States, aud awakened a grateful impulse iu every loyul heart throughout the laud. And again the electric spark is flashing a messuge to rekindle the flame of patriotism. Not satisfied with having contributed more thau her quotaof sol dim's, who arc-ready to seal- with their blood the Union so gloriously established by their sires, her euergetic aud patriotic Government now tenders to the War Department at Wash ington, another Division, comprising eight reg imeutsof iufautry aud oue of cavalry, which is roudy to march, aud asks permission to sail at ouce trom Philadelphia for a southern port where active service may be rendered. Eight thousand men Pennsylvanians ! ready aud anxious ' to march forward,' when enlistments are progressing slowly aud in places entirely stopped ; and Ibis too, when nearly one fifth of our grand amy in the field —over one huudred thonsaud men—arc from Pennsylvania !: And all volunteers ! Well doue for the Keystone of the Union Arch. o&.Tbe most important intelligence brought | from Port Royal by the steamship Atlnntu,, i which arrived at New York on Thursday, re i lates to the new expedition fitting out at that ! point, under the direction of Commodore Du- pont and General Sherman. Its destination |is supposed to be Savannah. The utmost se ; crecy, however, rs observed by our officers in regard to the details of this movement. It is known that a successful survey of a new wa ter-course has been made, and that by means of this channel (which, for obvious reasons, we do not name) Savaunah can be reached with out passing Fort Pulaski. Our troops are now engaged in the work "of removing logs, hulks, and other obstructions, including piles, which the rebels had placed in the stream, un der the impression that they had thereby se cured themselves from attack in that direction. At last accounts this work was rapidly pro gressing, aud it was thought when the Atlantic left Port Royal that the work had been ac complished. The rebels had, however, taken the precaution to erect a battery the head of the water course, and information had been received to the effect that this battery, as well as the defences of the other approaches to Savannah, has been strengthened. But it is believed that their position could v not be so fortified as to prevent the advance of the ex pedition.—lu fact, a report has already been received of the evacuation of Fort Polaski by the rebels —that position having become use les3. Before the departure of the Atlantic, three of the guuboats (such, at least, was the understanding at Hilton llead\ bad passed beyond the line of Fort Polaski. The depth of water through the courses wa9 stated at fif teen feet. There were evidence at Hilton Head of the advance.—All the floats and iauuches, of which there were great numbers, were col lected or collecting, aud dreparatious were making to transport troops. Two of the reg iments at Hilton, with whose officers some of the passengers on the Vrv.derbilt had been in ctmmunication, had received not only march ing orders, but orders to move, and they were preparing to go, towards what point was of course uot stated. The understanding was general among the officers that the movement would be made speedily—certainly this week; and that the force to be left at Hilton Head would not exceed one or two regiment-. The forces at Hilton Head thus at commaud was ten to twelve thousand men. Rut it was doubtful if auy attenip whatever would be made to advance on the maiuland, out of the range of the fire of the gunboats inasmuch as the forces under General Sherman would be unequal to the work of maintaining itself, object of the contemplated expe dition would be accomplished with the occu pation of Savannah. The eity, however, de fended by nearly twenty-five thousand rebels, would not, it was confidently asserted, be at tacked, unless our gunboats succeeded in reach ing it, which there was little doubt they would be able to do . If a movement against Savannah shall not at once be made, and the reconnoissance and preliminary operation prove, like the occupa tion of Tybee Island, to have been made sim ply for the purpose of diversion, the real pre parations may result in another movement more dengerons, and possibly more important, that would be the capture of Savaunah. In his speech delivered in the House of Representatives,on the 23th inst. Mr. Dawes of Massachusetts, presented some startling facts respecting the government contracts for gnus He stated that contracts had been I given out to private individuals to the amount of thirty-seven million of dollars, and that the contractors cannot furnish the first musket un der the contract within six months, as they I have as yet no machinery. He stated further, that returns from the War Department showed ! that the price gaid for muskets to these gun | contractors was nearly eight dollars more thaD j the same article costs at the Springfield arrao | ry. The speech made a profound impression upon the House. On Saturday evening and Sunday morning, two large bounded warehouses in Bridge street in New York city, were burned down ; the losses amounting to about half a million of dollars. Tea other buildiugs were consumed by fire yesterday morning, io Ful ton and Pearl streets ; the losses amounting to upwards of S2OO,UUO. flfetF" The Europa, which arrived at Halifax late ou Saturdv night,bring intelligence to the I,lth inst., three days later than the City of New York, via Cape Race. Although warlike preparation are said to be still in progress, the features of the news are entirele pacific. The liritish Government is said to be fully satisfied with the settlement of the Trent diffi culty ; the Press is generally favorably in its toue, and Cousols have advanced one per cent, being quoted' on the 11th inst , at 93 1 4 to 93 3 8. The U. S. steamer Tuscarora is report ed at Soutbaiuptod watching the Nashivlle— to which no supplies have beeu furnished ex cept such as are absolutely necessary to ena uble her to proceed to sea. Fiona the conti nent of Europe the only interesting items have refcrcuce to aaa opiuiou expressed by the Paris Moniteur, as to the stone blockade of Charleston, which it coudems ; aad to sugges tions by official organ of the Russian Govern ment sustaining Mr. SEWARR'S erouud in fa vor of a revised international code. teg"- In the Senate on the lTth inst., Mr LANDON offered a resolution instructing the Fiuance Committee to prepare a bill imposing a tax on tonnage and passengers upon all railroads and canal companies in the State, to meet the extraordinary demands upon the Treasury. After some djscussiou the resolu tion was modified so as to require the Commit tee to report on the subject to the Senate, that body not having the power to originate revenue measures. The Commissioners ap pointed by the Governor to revise the revenue laws of the State, have been in consultation with the fiuancial committees of both Houses, and it is understood that they are preparing bills to be submitted to the Legislature, which will reach the object of taxation contemplated in the Senate resolution. Mr. LANDON'S re marks upon this resolution will be found on the first page of to day's paper. fisaf* lion. John Cessna, of Bedford, has gained the contest for a seat in the Legisla ture, in place of Mr. Householder, (Republi can) who was returned as one of the Represen tatives of the Bedford and Somerset district. The Committee who tried the case, reported on Thursday the following facts, to wit: That Bedford county, under the Constitution, was clearly entitled to a separate representation ; that the union of Bedford and Somerset by the Apportionment of 1857 was unjust and unconstitutional ; and that, Mr. Cessna, hav ing had 1000 majority in Bedford county, was duly elected its Representative. The report was accepted, aud Mr. Cessna was immediate ly sworn in. ELECTION* OK STATE TREASURER —The elec tion for State Treasurer took place on Mon day of last week. Previously, the Republicans had nominated H. D. MOORE, the Democrats W. V. MCGRATH, and the" Union Dcmoc.sats" J. R. MCCLINTOCK. The ballots stood as fol lows : Ist. 2d. 3d. MOORE, Republican CO CG 71 MCGKATH, Democrat 50 64 50 MCCLINTOCK, 'Union Democrat' 10 22 5 flay The Republican State Central Com mittee met on the 22J Inst., aud after a collo quial discussion of informal business, resolved to adjourn without suggesting any other polit ical actiou to thceir fellow citizens, than that which aims at the support of both the state and national administrations, aud in all their efforts to maintain the Union, vindicate the lew, and restore peace to the government. DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. —The Dem ocratic State Executive Committee met at the Capital on the 15th inst, and fixed upon Har- Tisburg as the place, and the 4th day of July, 1802, as the time for holding the next Demo cratic State Convention, to nominate candi dates for Auditor General and Surveyor Gen eral. THE COPT OK THE APRIL REBELLION IN* BAL TIMORE.—In April last, it will be recollected, when troops were called for by the President for the defense of Washington, the Secession ists of Maryland, who contemplated carrying the State out of tbe Union, attempted to incite a rising in Baltimore to obstruct the passage of Union troops through that city. The City Council adopted an ordinance appropriating $500,000 for the defense of the city, which defence was to consist in preventing Union | troops from proceeding, byway of Baltimore, to the defense of Washington, and that city j falling in the hands of the rebels, Maryland [ would fall an easy prey to Secession There J was, however, another route to Washington, which was used. Washington was saved, and ! the Maryland Secessionists were dofeated in their designs. The official reports, just made 1 to the City Council, however, show that dnr ; ing the few days of April in which mob rule I reigned iu Baltimore, about $64,000 of the ! sum appropriated was paid out, and that a 1 number of claims, some of them quite large, remain unpaid. RELIEF FOR IRELAND. —An earnest effort is making to send a cargo of breadstuff's and pro visions to Ireland, for the relief of the suffer ers from famine there, and, in order to give effect to it, a bill was introduced into the New York State Assembly,appropriatiDgsloo,ooo, and constituting the Governor, the Comptrol ler, and the Secretary of State a Commission, to see that it is properly expended:. Private letters by the last two or three steamers give a much more deplorable picture of the famine, and its effects, than is presented by the public journals. As EXPENSIVE FI.AG.—BY the Auditor General's Report, giving the receipts and ex penditures of the Commonwealth for the last fiscal year, we see that Errett, Clerk of the Senate, and Ranch, Clerk of the House, charged the State the small sum of $7OB 65 for the flag and other erpenses connected there with, which now floats from the dome of the State Capitol at Harrisburg. Rather an ex pensive flag, we should say—bnt, " long may it wave."— Reading Gazelle. Particulars of the Battle of Mill Spring. CINCINNATI, Jan. 24,1861. This inoruiug's papers contain full accounts of the battle at Mill Spring. It was a fair, open batlio. The rebels fought well,and were overcome only by superior fighting OH our side. Aecordihgto the rebel occounts, their forced consisted of ten infantry regiments, three bat teries, and 6ome cavalry—altogether about ten thousand men. They fought in the bush whacking style, from ravines and behind trees, bushes and rocks. The brum of the battle devolved on the Fourth Kentucky, Second Minnesota, Ninth Ohio, and Tenth Indiana. For nearly two hours the roar of musketry was kept up Shortly after 11 o'clock Colonel Has=kins suc ceeded in flanking the enemy on the extreme right, when the Ninth Ohio and Second Min nesota charged with the bayonet with tri umphant yells, which broke the rebel ranks, ami the rout began. They Hed pelimell to their camp,strewing the road with mnskets, blankets, overcoats, and knapsacks, and abandoned two guu3 and caissons. ZollicofTer was shot through the heart, at the head of his staff, by C*l. Fry, of the Fourth Kentucky. It appears that ZollicofTer lost his way in the l ushes, and suddenly emerged before Col. Fry, who was accompa nied by some staff officers. The two parties mistook each other for friends,and approached within a few yards of each other, when finding their mistake, both halted and prepared for a hand-to-hand conflict. One of Zollicoffer's aids shot at Col. Fry, hut only brought his horse down. The Fed- ; eral Colonel immediately drew his six-shooter, 1 aud brought Zoliicolfer from his saddle at the first fire. The rebel staff deserted their chief's body, which was taken to Somerset the day i after the battle. An East Tennessean, writing to the Com mercial, says : " All the credit and honor of ! this battle is due to the Tenth Indiana and f Ninth Ohio, Fourth Kentucky, and Second Minuesota Regiments, lor they did all the fightiug single-handed, with tbe exception of what support they received from the artillery. I They all fought nobly,and never wavered from their fixed determination to gain the victory." j The combatants were so near each other at 1 oue time that the powder burned their faces 1 ou the discharge of each other's pieces. THF. CAPTURE OK ZOI.I.ICOKKER'S BARGES. The Cincinnati Com vitrei d says : The tel egraph anuouuees that the rebels, in their haste to get on the souths: le of the Cumber land, and put that river between them and Thomas' victorious army, neglected to destroy the means by which they were enabled to make their escape, and that the fteamer and nine barges, used by Zollicoffer, have fallen into the Federals' hands. This is more important than will appear at first sight, as it not only sup plies General Thomas at once with the means of throwing as much force as he desires on the south bank of the Cumberland, but will enable him :o move down in tlie directiou of Nash viile. aud almost into the city, if it is deemed advisable, without " waiting for transporta tion.'' The Cumberland has uot been fortified by the rebels, above that city, so that virtual ly the defeat of Zollicoffer, and the capture of his boats, gives General Thomas command of the river to that point. The bodies of Gen. Zollicoffer and Baillie Peyton. Jr., are in process of embalming at Somerset. RETORT FROM THE CINCINNATI TAKERS. It appears that the rebels knew that they were to be attacked on Monday, and must fight or retreat, hence their temerity in leaving their intrenchments aud attackiug us in the open field. Gen. Boyle's brigade had cut off their river communication with Nashville, aud threatened their rear ; Geu. Thomas was ad viyicing on the Columbia road, while General Schoepff had possession of Hudson's Ford,and was to advance from Somerset, thus hemming them in on the west and north. To avoid be ing surrounded and starved out, and rather than be disgraced by retreating, they marched aguiust Gen. Thomas, supposing him to be only 1,500 strong, being ignorant of his re-cn forccmcnt by tbe arrival of two Tennessee and the Twelfth Kentucky Regiments The attack was made under the immediate command of Mujor-Geucral Crittenden, who with eight reg iments marched from his intrenchments on Saturday night. Through the night the mounted pickets of the enemy skirmished with ours. In the morning the brunt of the attack was borne by the Tenth Indiana, who were subsequently sustained gallantly by the Fourth Kentucky, Col. Fry, the Second Minnesota, and the Ninth Ohio regimcut, Col. McCook. The rebels fought bravely for two hours, but the death of Gen. Zollicoffer early in the ac tion, the approach of our re enforcements, the desperate valor of our troops already engaged, aud the destructive effect of our artillery fire, compelled them to retreat. Our men followed in hot pursuit, turning the retreat into a rout. While messengers went off to Gen. SchoepfFs division, to notify him of the event. General Thomas pnrsucd the foe up to his intrench ments, and cannonaded him till nightfall.— Meantime, Gen. Schoepff ordered out four reg iments, and reached Fishing Creek in an hour and a half. The water was very high and rapid, yet, without bridge or boat, the forces of Geu. Schoepff took to the stream, and by the aid of a rope waded and swam across.— Four miles more took them to the camp of Gen. Thomas. Pushing on they passed over the battle-field at night, and with a bare tw hours' halt for rest, renewed their march over the muddy roads, expecting to be iu at the death, in the morning. But in the morning the enemy had fled from their fortifications, across the Cumberland, leaving arms, equip ments, everything, not even spiking their guns. Our troops found the enemy better provided thau themselves with the comforts of life, and in no respect worse off, except in the matter of arms alone. The enemy acknowledge a loss of three hundred, Gen. Crittenden being among the wounded. Our loss was thirty-eight killed aud one hundred and thirty-four wounded. GENERAL CAMERON'S RESIGNATION. —The President desires it to be understood that no circumstances connected with the recent change in the Cabinet has in any way impaired his confidence in Gen. Cameron, or disturbed the harmony existing between him and the Administration. The name of Mr. Stanton was suggested to the President by Gen. Cam eron himself, as largely possessing the qualifi cations fitting him for the post of Secretary of \\ ar.and enjoying the unbounded confidence of the commanding General. The nam's of Mr. Holt and Gen. I)ix had been previously mentioned, and the appointment of the former was tor a short, time regarded as determined upon.— Washington lie publico. Affairs at Richmond. TTie indications from Richmond combining to prove that loyalty has yet an abiding place there, despite the long night of persi cution and sorrow it has endured, I lie signs are auspicious- for tlie "reliel" of /> iihmov/L, a , phrase which signifies something else than when applied by the renegades there to our uwu favored city. Beaten down by a long continued military tyranny, it yet patiently awaits the time when the bright vision of the Stars and Stripes will flash upon the view, to carry despair and trembling to the hearts of ! the infamous despots w ' \ ur.der false pretexts-, J have for the tim; lc.dou under foot their rights. As usual, the declarations from that quarter, hy those who have had |ersonal op portunities to verify the facts, are that the " hone and sinew," the great middie class, is true to the Uuion. In Manchester, on the other side of the river from Richmond, we understand the Confederate flag has never been permitted to flout the loyalty of the place ; whilst, on. the other baud, only the threat of "shelling" the p'ace from the Richmond side has sufficed to prevent the flag of the L uiou from being givcu to the breeze. These are cheering and well authenticated facts, and whilst they inspirit the pat riotic everywhere to renewed efforts in the glo rious cause of the Union, because those efforts roust carry political regeneration to those suf fering from tyranny, they should make the people of Maryland more thankful that they have been spared that humiliation and suffering i brought upon the citizens of a neighboring ! State by the madness of its rulers. From indications which gather strength with I every revolution of the suu iu the heavens it can nat he long now befora the Davises and Letchers aud Benjamins will liud Richmond i " too hot to hold them." If the movements against Norfolk should prove successful, it opens and uncovers a short route to the capital of i Virginia, such as the gunboat practice at Rort ' Royal aud Hatteras will kuow well how to take advautage of at short notice. With Nash ville, at about the same period, not exactly eligible as a place for the next migration of the Richmond troop, it ia hard to say where it will alight uext whilst awaiting " rccogui ; tion" by England. ! Altogether the prospects of the Confeder al ates look anything elst than promising at the present time. With the clouds darkening over their front, from the seaboard to Richmond , especially, the newspapers there no longer scrujJe to attack those who have played so i conspicuous a part in their affairs ; and wheth- j er they are getting ready to accept of an am nesty on the part of the Government, or are I sincerely desirous of correcting the abuses at rebel headquarters, the result is the same— to betray the weakness of the cause. We look, then, for decisive results in Vir ginia speedily. We hope ere long to hear of the flight of the vultures at Richmond to an other locality shortly, and the Union men for ever relieved of the curse that has so heavily weighed them down.— Baltimore American. The President on Catching Negroes. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19, 1861. At tlie leave-taking ot Gen. Jas. 11. Lane at the White House, 011 Friday, r. M , a con versation occurred so remarkable and import ant in its scope, and so evidently designed for the public eye, that I feel at liberty to record it for the readers of the Tribune. There were present at the time President Jjincoin, Gen. Lane, Senator Pomeroy, Com missioner Dole, a few members of the House, and a group of oflieers and clerks from the different departments of Government. On turning to leave, Gen. Lane said : " Well, Mr. Lincolu, you kuow uiy way ; I shall pursue tlie policy with which 1 began, and somebody will get hurt." To which the President replied : " Yes, General, i understand you. And the only difference between you aud me is, that you are willing to surrender fugitives to loyal owners in case they are willing to return ; while Ido not believe the United States (7 or eminent has any right to give them vp in any case. Aud it had, the People would not per mit ns to exercise it. Gen. Lane rejoined : " That remark, Mr. President, makes me happier than anything that has transpired since the commencement of the war. And if you will announce that as the active policy of the Admiuiscration, and let us win one victory on it, you will be the most popular man ever on this continent 1" Mr. Lincoln returned a nod of earnest an knowledginent.— Correspondent of the A r . I*. Tribune. THE EFFECT. —We are reliably informed that when the news that permission had been grant ed by the United States authorities for Brit ish troops to cross our territory became known in Canada, it produced an electrical and pro found effect upon the public miud of the most gratifying character. It seemed to dispel the war frown instantly ; and well informed gen tlemen predict that the effect iu England will, if possible, be still more happy. We trust it will prove so ;we expect it will. It is no use to paw dirt or shake horus at Johu Bull or any other variety of the Anglo Saxon race, unless you desire fight. Generous confidence and mag uauimity appeal to the better side of his na ture, and he is as unwilling to be outdone in that direction as the other. This little cour tesy may turn the whole current of feeliug be tween the two countries into a better channel, aud give it a more natural rational tone. God grain that it tnuv. — Portland Argus.
