E. O. GOODRICH, EDITOR. IrOWANDA : TBtirsday Morning, February 12, 1863. Our neighbor, of the Argus, is fast easting off the thin disguise which he has worn, aud advocating iu his columns the doc trioes and views which he does not hesitate personally to avow. His sympathy with the peace, conservative copper-head semi-secossioc ists becomes every day more and more appa rent. The bargain which was made last fa!!, when the Argus struck hands with the demo cratic leaders, reaches its consummation, and from present appearances, we shall soon have the Argus enjoying the unenviable position of a Democratic orgaD. We have seen many cases of shameful polit ical apostacv, but noue so lamentable as that presented by the Argus. When it was au organ of the Whig party, there were none more earnest in propagating anti slavery views —aud 6ince it has sailed under Republican colors, it has professedly advocated the meas ures of the Republican party. Now it be comes suddenly conservative, and thongh the editor does not print the sentiments he so loudly proclaims personally, jet his enmity to Republicanism is apparent in each issue. If Republican principles ever bad a foot-hold with him, contact with his new-found Democra tic friends and patrons has succeeded in eradi cating them completely. If this is not so, why the exultation of the Argus over the electiou of Mr. BCCKALEW as U. S. Senator ? Why the endorsement of that ultra pro slavery Breckinridge democrat ? Why does the At gus allow itself to use such slang in speaking of the removal of postmasters, as " They are for the Union ? Don't believe a nigger is any better than a white man ?" Such expressions in the connexion in- which this was made are the grossest blackguardism, indulged in only by pro-slavery fanatics, as a term of reproach to Republicans. Men who use such expressions are generally those who believe that a white man who owns a nigger is better than a inau who don't ! At any rat?, it is a vile sentence to fliDg at a Republican Senator and Con gressman ! That the honest, intelligent portion of the voters who followed the Argus in supporting the People's ticket last fail, are becoming alarmed at the progress made by that sheet towards the Democracy, we have evidence every day. The meal contains too large a cat, entirely. While they thought they had abuses which needed rectifying, they had no idea of apostalizing and abandoning their priu- espies. We do not believe such hare any idea of throwing contempt upon all the doctrines they have sustained for years. Such a coarse may suit the editor of the Argus who has no principle except interest, but it will inevitably lead him to the common fate of aii who base ly desert their principles, and turn their backs upon the professions of years. £©- By the arrival of the steamship Ilau sa at New Yoik we have four days later news from Europe. Au important Anti-Slavery conference took place in Liverpool on Janua ry 17. Mr. Specce, the well known champi on of the South, attempted to resuscitate the argument that Siavery could be supported on Scriptural grounds, but the meeting refused to hear him. He, however, like all other English champions of the South, expressed a desire for the cessation of Slavery, and a hope that the independence of the South would basteu that event. A resolution in favor of the Federal Government was carried by a large majority, and a Committee appointed to bring the subject before the people of Liver pool. The Times and Daily News are com menting upon the battle of Murfreesboro, which is generally admitted in England to be a victory of great importance. The Daily News also calls attention to the murder of twenty captured negroes by the Rebels. It is considered probable that the Duke of Co burg, the brother of Prince Albert, may ac cept tho throne of Greece. In that case Prince Alfred would cot immediately succeed him npon the throne of Coburg, but a Coun cil of Regency would provisionally administer the Government in the name of the Duke.— The Yiceory of Egypt, Said Pasiia, is dead, aud has been succeeded by Ismail Pasha, the sou of the late famous Ibrahim Pasha. SENATOR SAELSBCRY. —One of the most dis graceful scenes ever enacted in the United States Senate occurred there last week, when Senator Saulsbury in a druuken fit outroged all decorum by denouncing the President in the earnest terms, refusing to come to order and threatening to shoot the Sergennt-at- Arms if he ventured to arrest him Twice he ' was taken out and twice he returned to dis guest the spectators and disgrace his country by his drunken antics A resolution of ex pulsion was introduced, but now rests quiet in consequence of his making a full apology. No apology can atone for such unworthy de meanor. George Francis Train was arrested on Saturday, in St. Louis, by the Provost-Mur ibal, and given the choice of leaving the State or going to jail. He chose the former alter native. _ _ J®* Ex Gov. E. D. MORGAN was" on Tues day, 3d iDSt., elected U. S. Senator" for the State of New-York, for six yean from the 4th of March next. TtfE FINANCIAL PLAN Or SECRETARY CHASE. We had intended to notice the financial measures now before Congress, bnt the follow ing remarks from the Philadelphia Inquirer of the 31st ult. are so well expressed, and cover the ground so completely, that we cannot do better thau to copy it entire. We are glad to see that there is a fair prospect of the pas sage of the nuance bill with the hanking fea ture attached to it. We trust that Congress will not fail to sanction what appears to be the almost unanimous voice of the country, and give to us a currency uniform and of the same vaiue in Maine and Massachusetts as in Missouri and lowa, instead of our present heterogeneous mass of State and local banks : "There is a rapidly growing public senti ment in favor of the system of National Bank ing Associations proposed to Congress by Sec retary CHASE. The people are discussing it, bank officers ana capitalists are examining all its details aud bearings, and the result is that the closer it is scrutinized the better it looks. It comes out of every debate with new and stronger friends. When first proposed the Banking interest of the country was very gen erally arrayed against it, but that feeling we are glad to learn is fast passing away, the present temper among the Banks, especially those of Philadelphia, New York and Boston, beiDg to co operate with Mr. CHASE to the fullest extent practicable, without producing a sudden and violent change iu the existing order of things. The clearing houses of the greut Atiautic cities, we uuderstaud, have ta ken up the proposition iu a frank and cordiai spirit, to s 1 "" 1 how the transition from the pres ent to the proposed system can be made with out deranging the machinery of our fiuaneial fabric. " These circumstances indicate progress m the right direction, a progress we are glad to note, for the measure to which it relates has a degree of importance that can hardly be over estimated. Its great central idea is to fur aiab the people of the Uuited States with a safe uniform circulation, of equal value over the whole country, upon the foundation ot Na tional credit combined with private capital. That of itself will be a benefit to the publ c of inestimable value. But the system is calcu lated to effect other results of almost equal advantage. It will furnish to the Government iu this hour of its extremity, a large and cer tain market for its war bonds, which it has heretofore been so difficult a problem to place. Further even than this : when the blessed reign of peace shall be restored, it will acceler ate the resumption of specie payments, so that we shall not be afflicted with a suspension of thirty years, as England was. " The advantages above set forth are to be secured by the organization ol Banking Asso ciaiicns, under a general law to be passed by Congress. They cay be new associations of private parlies desiring to employ their capital in the designated way : or existing instiluticus under State laws may avail themselves of its privileges by conforming to its requirements. Such associations are first to purchase, with their capital, a regulated amount of the bonds of the United States Government, for which they, of course, receive the stipulated interest. Upon a deposit of these in the National Trea sury as security, they are to be furnished with an equivalent amount of circulating notes as a basis for their discounts and other legitimate banking operations- Tho notes so obtained are to bear the national impress, and to be of one uniform style for all the associations over the whole country. They are, however, to be redeemable only at the counters of the associations which receive them, and to make them distinguishable ia that respect, an addi tional impress will be made, giving simply the name and locality of the bank which issues aDd redeems them. They are not made payu ble at the Treasury depositaries, because that would concentrate them in too great sums at the mouey centres, while the prescribed plan of making them redeemable by all tho Asso ciations using them, diffuses the process of re demption over a wide extent of country. Dur ing the continuance of the present suspension those Association notes will be payable in the ordinary Uuited States notes, and after re sumption in specie on demand. If there is failure in either case, they will be redeemed at the Treasury of the United States from the proceeds of the bonds deposited there by the defaulting bank. "Sucli is a brief sketch of tho banking scheme of the Secretary of the Treasury. It seems difficult to conceive a plan more ad mirably adapted to the wants of the Govern ment and the people in the exigency in which both are placed by tho war. The nation, in its corporate capacity, gets a sore aud steady market for the bonds it must issue for means to sustain its authority. It participates with the banks in t-be.advantages of furnishing the money circulation of the country, for to the extent that its own notes will be out it will have a loan from the people without interest. It secures, in favor of the Union, the conserva tive influence of the many Associations that will be interested ia the national loans and notes in every Stale and section of the coun try. On the part of the people the priceless advantage will be a circulation of uniform ap pearance, based upon solid security, of equal value from Maine to Oregon, by means of which they wiil be saved all the losses result ing from depreciation, discounts and exeban get, and all other vexations incident to the multiform issues of sixteen huudred banks in every degree of solvency end insolvency. ".This is all we need say at present. The arguments in favor of the measure would fill as much space as a score of articles like this. But we have accomplished our immediatepnr pose, which is to present in brief compass the leading features of a plan of finance whictr, as we hare said', is making rapid progress ic pub lic favor, and which will be, witbiu a few weeks, before the representatives of the peo pie for legislative sanctiou." SUMMARY OF NEWS. The Army of the Potomac is still quiescent. The roads, after the late storm-, are io a sad condition, rendering all movements impossible. By an arrival at from Richmond we learn that the new Merriraac is now lying be tween seven and eight miles below Richmond. It is pierced for two guns on each side, and will carry one forward and aft. The vessel is pronounced by many a failure, while there are others who are confident of its success. Two other iron clads are in process of construction there. The rebels are throwing up earth works in every direction for the defence cf the rebel capital. A propeller which arrived at Norfolk from !\ewbern on Friday, via the canal aud inland route, reports two government schooners ashore on Hatteras shoal?, one loaded with cattle, and one with Coal, aud that a fleet of one hun dred cud twenty vessels had sailed, and all bound S~uth. A po. ..on of General Magruder's rebel fleet, off Galveston, is reported to have recaptured Sabine Pass, and the United States ship Morning Light on the 21st ult. It was rumored in Louisville that Morgan's rebel forces contemplated a raid on Lexing ton, and that the bankers and merchants there were packiug up their money and valuables ready for a flight. It was also said that our troops had got possession of Shelbyville. The brig- Wilbelmina, Captain Welsh, at St. Thomas on the 18th of January, reports that she spoke the rebel privateer Alabama on the 15th of that month, about four hun dred miles southeast of Bermuda. The Ala bama attacked and destroyed the United States steamer Hatteras on the 11th ultimo, und must have steamed to the lulitude described by the Wilhelmiua during the four ensuing days. The report relative to the capture of the privateer Florida was not confirmed by the latest intelligence from Havana. The steamship Roanoke, from New Orleans 28tb and Llavaua 31st ult., arrived at New York Friday. By her we received later ac counts from Mexico ; but they are not of par ticular importance, except in so far as they confirm the intelligence previously received of the evacuation of Tampieo and Jalapa. Then are also reports of the sally of the Pnebla gar rison and the rout of the French. Two Mexi cans, who had been convicted of poisoning by a French court martial, were executed at Vera Cruz, in the form pret>cribed by the French military authority. There is no other news of importance. The British war ship Vesuvius, at Bermuda ou tne 271h of January, reported that the French army had been defeated in an attack on I'uebla, Mexico, and had lost three thou sand meu. Gen Rosecrans has made official report of the Fort Oonelson affair. The attack was made hy,4,ooomen and eight pieces of artille ry. Our force was only 800. The Rebels made several charges, but were repulsed with great loss, amounting to rsore than 100 killed and three hundred prisoners. Another ac count says that already 145 rebels had been buried. Our loss vas 12 killed and 30 wounded. Western despatches say that the Union ram Queen of tho West ran the rebel blockade on Monday at daylight. Oue hur.dnd heavy siege guns opened on her as she streamed past. A Rebel steamer was crippled. The Queen was under fire three quarters of an hour. The canal or cut-off project will be preserved in, and a large force will be kept at work until it is finished. CONGRESS. In the Senate on Friday, a resolution in structing the Finance Committee to inquire iu to the expediency cf repealing the duty on pa per was adopted. A resolution calling for Capt. Muilan's report and maps relative to the military road from Walla Walla to Fort Ben ton was adopted. A bill to prevent and pun ish frauds on the revenue, and providing for the more speedy and certain collection of claims in favor of the United States, was in troduced. Several private bills were consid ered. A motion to postpone all prior orders and take np the Bankrupt bill was disagreed to —14 aga : nst 24. A report from the confer ence committee on the Deficiency Appropria tion bill was adopted. After the transaction of some unimportant business an executive session vras held, and the Senate adjourned. In the House of Representatives, the Sen ate's amendment to the Past Offices Appro priation bill, authorizing a contract for carry rying the mails in steamers between SaD Fran cisco and tho several ports in Oregon, at a sum not exceeding $24,000 per annum, was concurred in. The debate on the Illinois and New York Ship Canal bill was resumed, and continued till the adjournment. In the U. S. Senate on Saturday,the House bill to promote the efficiency of the Commis sary Department was passed. A memorial was presented from merchants of New York, praying that legal tender DOI.CS may be used for the payment of custom duties. A resolu tion directing the Committee on the Conduct of the War to inquire iuto the condition of the Army of the Potomac was introduced by Mr. Sumner of Massachusetts, and laid over. The Missouri Emancipation bill was taken up and debated nutil the adjournment, which did not take place until midnight FROM GEN. ROSECRANS'S ARMY. Repulse of the Rebels at Fort Dondson. Rabel Loss 100 killed and 300 Prisoners. Our Loss 12 Killed and 30 Wounded. WASHINGTON, D. C., Saturday, Feb. 7, 18G3.

We hod 800 men in the fort under Colonel A. C. Wurdeu. The Rebels charged the fort ifications several times, but were repulsed by our artillery and infantry with great loss, the enemy as usual, before and after the fight, de manding a surrender, and offering to spare life if accepted. &c. Colonel Ilardtng replied that "he was ready for all the Consequences.The enemy's loss in killed was over 100 and in prisoners 300. The forces under Col. Lowe,from Fort Ilenry, are pursuing the Rebels, and others have been sent to intercept their retreat. Our loss is 12 killed and 30 wounded. YV. S. FiOSECRANS, Maj.-Gen.

A notorious fellow, named Dr. J V. C. Bradley, of Saratoga, X. Y., eloped last week with the wife of Mr John Orr, of Prov idence, of that country, each leaving a com panion, with one child. Bradley had been doing the country some service in its jail, and after his liberation loafed about without anv visible means or' support. Before he ran away he went, to his wife, the daughter of a respectable citizen oi Galway, who was living with her father, and told her that he had got a situation ; that she must pack up all her effects, and lie would send a team ana get them, and would also eomo for her and her child with a horse and cutter. She did so, and he sent and took off al! her effects, strip ping his wife and child of nil they had iu the world, except clothing necessary for them to wear on the journey. Mrs. Bradley got all ready, and he finally came und told her iie must go about two miles for some shirts he had, but would soon be back for her. The villain went directly to Orr's, and tcok Orr'a wife and left, since which nothiug has been heard of either. KjU A letter from Guatemala gives an in teresting uocouut of an earthquake which oe ctred there on the 19th of December last The quaking and trembling of the earth com menced about seveu o'clock iu the morning, while nearly all the population were in the streets, marching churchward, with music and other proud display ;■ suddenly the music ceased, and all was quiet except the buzz of the praying populace, in a half audible tone, calling upon " Mary" and all the imaginable saicts for deliverance. Probably half were upon their knees, many upon their faces, and the rest daggering like tipsy people towards their homes. The earth's crust was agitated like a teakettle cover when the water has a superabundance of heat. The rumbling continued but two or three minutes, but in that lime the well and frame of every house was cracking and creaking, aud it is said that the cluppers of some church bells struck merely from the undulating motion of the earth " Antigue," a few leagues Irom Gua temala, and which was twice before shaken to dust, is again in utter confusion from sim ilar shaking ; and so with several other adja cent towns in the more immediate vicinity of one of the principal hut inactive volcanoes In all, however, the aggregate ol lives lost will not reach fifty, and they ore of the more pious nuns and priests, who occupy the cider and more elevated walled buildings.

Ho Hon. E. Hf. STANTOF, Secretary of War : DEAR SJR : I bavo the houor to report that ! the organization of the First Regiment of ! South Carolina Volunteers is now completed i The regiment is light infantry, composed of : ten companies of about eighty-six men each armed with muskets, and officered by white men. In organization drill, discipline and j morals, for the length of time it has been in ! service, this regiment is not surpassed by any white regiment in this Department. Should ) it ever be its good fortune to get info action, ! I have no fears but it will win its own way to ' the co.-.fidence cf those who are willing to re j cognize courage and manhood, and vindicate j the wise policy of the Administration, in pnt i ting these men into the field and giving them f a chance to strike a blow for the country and | their own liberty. In no regiment have I ev 'or seen duty performed with so much cheer fulness and alarcity. As sentinels they ure i peculiarly vigilant. I have never seen in any i body of men sucla enthusiasm and deep seat i ed devotion to their officers as exist in this.— They will surely go where tbev are led. Every man is a volunteer, and seems fully persuaded of the importance of his service to his race.— In tie organization cf this regiment I have labored under difficulties which might have ; discouraged ous who had less faith in wisdom ! of the measure, but I am glad to report that 1 the experiment is a complete success. My be ' lief is, that when we get a footing on the | mainlaud, regiments may oe raised which will ! do more than any now in service to put down | this rebellion. I have sent a regiment upon an expedition to the coast of Georgia, the resnlt of which I shall report for your information as soou as it returns. I have the honor also, to report that I have | commenced the organization of the second reg iment, wh ch is to be commanded by Colonel ! Montgomery. I am, sir, with prreat respect, K. SAXTOX, Brigadier-Oenera*. Bgp The following is among the special des ! patches from Washington, to the New York Tribune, of Monday : Gov. Ct"RT!\* returned to Harrishurg last evening. Wliile here he consented to be come a candidate for re-election as Governor !of Pennsylvania. Lead'ng Demo, rats of that State intimate that his great popularity, par ticularly in the army from Pennsylvania, will , make opposition to him from their party onlv a matter of form. I On Friday evening he was entertained at a banquet by Secretary Seward at which most of the members of the Cabinet were present, and the French Minister and many of the di plomatic corps,and Senator Wilmot,Anthony, Arnold, 1 licks, and others. Congratulatory ; reference to his consent to take are nomina tion was publicly made daring the evening by Mr. Seward. Accompauied by Mr. Mercer, Gov. Curtin was upon the floor of the house yesterday, I where he spent most of the session in discus -1 sing public affairs, and the policy of the war with leading Republicans. Before leaving town he arranged with the Secretary of War for the reorganization of the Pennsylvania Re serve Corps, and with the Surgeon-General ; for ft better care of the sick and wounded sol diers of his state. i | TRANSFER OF THS SIJAMOKIN VALLEY AND POTTS VII.LE RAILROAD —Tire Northern Cen tral railroid has become the owner of the Sha mokin Valley and Pottsville railroad, having taken a iease for a period of nine hundred and ninety-nine years The 'erras and conditions of this important sale and transfer were i agreed upon at a meeting held in this city, by a committee of directors representing both companies.
