CIRCULATION 3,100. H. H. FRAZIER EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR Montrose,Pa., Tuesday, Feb. 21, 1865. OLORIOVS NEWS. Sherman is triumphantly marching through South Carolina. Columbia, B. C., is evacuated. Beauregard retreating as our forces entered tht town. Large quantities of materials and stores were destroyed by the Rebels. The evacuation of Charleston is a military necessity. Sherman lives nn the country as he advances. A NEW EXPEDITION TO THE NORTH POLE. While our countryman Captain C. F. Rail is attempting, by a novel and extraordinarily ad venturous way, to obtain further accounts of the fate of Sir John Franklin and his men, Captain 'Sherrard Osborne, of the British navy, proposes a new and final expedition to the North Pole. Captain Osborne's object, which enjoys the fa vor of all tlaeleading Arctic voyagers, and the op position of the London Tuna, was laid before the Royal Geographical Society on the ;.3d of January; and it is probable that the society will recommend the government to furnish the yes sels, and grant leave of absence to the officers and men required for the purpose. There will be no difficulty in getting volunteers. Captain: Kane's man Morton has probab'y stood nearer to the Pole than any white mat before or since. Re reached a point named by hint Cape Constitution. That point was located by him, in latitude 80' 56', five hundred and fat ty four miles from the Pole. Sixty miles north ward he saw land, which he called Cape Parry this would be four hundred and eighty-four miles from the Pole; and Captain Osborne pro poses to take this as his point of departure. He asks for two small screw steamers and one hundred and twenty men, which should be rea dy by the spring of 1866. "They would nail for Baffin's Bay and reach Cape Tork In August— One vessel would then be secured in or about Cape Isabella, leaving, only twenty-five persons in charge; the other, with ninety-five men, wo'd be pressed op the western shore in the direction of Cape Parry, taking care not to exceed a dis tance of 300 miles from her consort. Du ring the same autumn the southern ship would connect herself by depots with the northern ves sel, and the northern vessel would place out de pots towards the Pole ready for spring opera tions. In the two following years—lB67---0 sledge and boat operations should be directed rnwqrds the Bala and relrelhhetr'Woulil Fetfre. thus spending only two winters and three sum mers in the Artie zone." The chief peculiarity of Captain Osbome's plan is that he will make his sledge journeys in the winter season, and not In summer as Artie voyagers pave done hitherto. It is a pity tha. such an expedition could not have the aid of the thorough knowledge of Esquemanx habits ane character which was acquired by Captain dering his first voyage to and stay In the Arctic region, and which he is now using so courage ously and nobly for the prosecution of his searcL after Siir John Franklin's men. THE GREAT AMENDMENT 'According to the provisions of the Federal Constitution, amendments may be made to it up on being proposed by Congress and ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the States The present number of States in the Union I. thirty-six. It will therefore, require twenty-sev en to ratify. Of these there is no doubt of 'ob taining twenty-two, viz :—Maine, New Hamp shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island. Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Mary land, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisronsin,Minnesota, lowa, Missouri. Kansas, California, Oregon, and Nevada, the legislatures of all these being loyal andanti-slav ery. Three States—New Jersey, Delaware and Kentucky—will probably vote against the A mendment, though - Kentucky is not certain. If we add it we have twenty-three, and Tennessee. Arkansas, • and Louisiana will soon be added through their loyal Legislatures, making twen 'psis, and only lacking one. All this will be accomplished inside of a year. Macb of it will be done in a month,—a number of States have already voted. In Order then to ratify this glorious step of the National Congress, we have only to add one more State. No one doubte the easy practicahil ity of this. We have the ten territories of the West growing np, and several nearly ready to ask fop admission. Two of these will settle the mattet. The old State of Virginia, and others of those that have been in rebellion, will soon be back with loyal governments. Delaware will change front in a year or two from her present benighted position. The "Great Amendment" Is not a "Ptve's bull against the Comet." It 'rein he ratified and ful fill its great mission of redemption and regenera tiom GROWTH OF THE HEPTBLICAN PARTY The political statistics of the Tribune Alma nac furnish materials tor many instructive and useful comparisons and calculations.. The steady and healthy growth of the republican party from year to year cannot fall to strike one who studies these: statistic?. The"republican Presidential vote, , it will he observed, in 1856 cm 1,341, 873; in 1860 it was 1,864,523, and in 1804 it was 2,223035. The natural increase by additions to the opting population Is idulnit 10 per, cent in four years. The actual increase Of the republi can vote from 185 1 3 to 1860 was 89 per cent. and fromlB66 to 1834 it was over 10 per cent; for the whole period of eight years over 06 per cent. The democratic party, counting with it the know nothings and other fuetkins, increased bn't 2 per cent From 1856 to 1869, and decreased nearly 10 per einit fr6m 1860 to 1864.

No loyalty to a great idea can savelkfrom over ' throw if allows itself to become thelustmment of the public thieves. WOOING VP THE WAR. The great public need of the time is a Medi. cal realization of the fact that the rebellion can, be crushed out to Its last spark of We by the Spring campaign, and a fiXed deteirdnation that it shall be done. Jost the same exerase of the reason and the will is demanded that is eser-1 eked by every business man is finishing np any business enterprise, the end of which is within his reach. Nay, that but very inadequately ex presses it. The obligations to make an end of this war at the very earliest day possible, are im measurably beyond any motive which the man of business can feel. They involve human life. Every month of the war entails the sacrifice, by battle and disease, of thousands of brave men. Its needless prolongation for a single month, or a single day, would be unpardonable homicide. The crime would be greater if, by our neglect, we should leave a work to be done by active campaigning through the miasmatic months of the Summer and Autumn. No human duty ever rested more weightily than that now de volved upon the loyal people of the land to make an end forever of this war within the. pe riod to which military stience, if armed with proper means, limits it. Human will and ener gy have never been more solemnly invoked. The practical shape which this duty has now taken, is a q'iick response to the pending requi sition of the President for men. Government has done, and is doing, its part of the work. The Lieutenant-General stands ready to do his part of the work. It is for :the people to do their part of the work. The public will every where should assume a new force, and, in every mode of efficient action, should stimulate the volunteering of men who will make the most serviceable soldiers. It should no longer toler ate the pitiful tricks and evasions by which quo tas have often heretofore been dodged altogether, or been supplied with material which proved utterly worthless. In those localities wherevol unteering falls short, it should sustain the Gov ernment in a rigorous enforcement of the draft. The popular determination everywhere she* he set like steel in respect to that prompt supply of fit men required by the Government for the quick finishing up of the war. EMPLOYMENT FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS Petitions have been put to circulation in near ly all the Miles, and are freely signed by the leading citizens, irrespective of party, asking Congress to take some action by which honor tbly discharged soldiers may obtain govern ment employment in preference to those who have for so many years been subsisting on gov ernment " pap." There are large numbers of patriotic young men everywhere who have been honorably discharged from the army on account of wounds, sickness, imprisonment, etc., who are unable to work at their trades or any hard labor, have no means of subsistence except that furnished by charity, and who are perfectly competent to fill almost any civil appointment or clerkship. Let the people further this noble oltlect—it would be but a small return for the gallant services rendered by our soldiers. FROM EUROPE.

OUR DANGER AND ITS REMEDY. Weal:um:mos, D. C., Feb. 13th, 1885. After conducting the present war for th,3 Union to the successful end which we now see draining noir, the most Important quastlon which can arise is that of national finance. Upon this will parties be divid ed, and the position which the Republican patty takes will, more than any other one thing, deter mine whether it shall contlnae to guide the desti nies of the nation, or leave them in other, and, I fear, worse hands. The antagonism of capital and labor Is not a nor mal condition, but Is the result of the unwise legisla tion which destroy their equilibrium. Whenever nature's equilibrium is artificially destroyed, a con flict of forces results which ends only when the nat ural conditions are resumed. Wrongful laws de prived a portion of God's creatures of their Inherent rights ; capital owned labor. The irrepressible con• flict then began ; and it will not end until all are equal before the law. But inking and unwise legisla tion may deprive labor of other rights. Chartered monopolies and unequal taxation are instan.ats.— On the other hand agrarian or communist laws might infringe the rights of capital ; all such are dangerous to the common weal. I now propose to show a few of the evils of our present financial system, viewed from this istand-point The floating wealth of a country Is, in great part, represented by its currency, which passe from nand to hand In commercial transactions. Thla al. Ways, mainly, and In our country at present, wholly, consists of paper representatives ref value, principal ly bank notes. Upon all bank paper the capitalist who issues it by virtue of his charter receives the interest, although, really, it is the property of the community who use it. Suppose the paper circula tion of the country to be $500,000,000. The Interest upon this is 100,000,000, annually, and this amount is taken by - the system of legislation which permits private banking, from the pockets of the people etch year—tending directly to the concentration of wealth, which In ail times and all countries la a public evil, resulting in poverty of the mavies, and ending In Ignorance, degradation, and crime. The only reme dy for this Is to make legal•teuder, or bettor frinsi specie phymenta can be resumed, demand notes, the only paper carnency--giving to the Gov ernment, and thus to the people, by diminished tu ition, the interest upon the floating capital of the nation. The amount of paper circulation will incomes in proportion to the wealth and population of the coun try, thus requiring yearly issues In excess of the amount brought back for redemption, and to sup ply the placeof notes lost byaceidenta of are, water, and wear. This would constitute a shaking fend for the reduction and gradual absorption of the public dew, tt• the original $500,000,000 alums would new er be redeemed, being, in fact, a perpetual loan, without interest, from thopeople to the Govesumezt, of their floating capital. The national banking system sccomplishee but one good-4 uniform currency which is better than the old State bank paper; but was an unlncky change from the Treasury note Arm, giving, as 'lt does, to individuals the emoluments which ought to belong to the Government only. It gives to capitalists, or to speculators who do business on borrowed capital, an opportunity of doubling u*ll trebling Metro:Ohl at the common expense, and of Intl flog and , depne. dating the currency to an extent whose only Mgt is the amount of loans n bleb the Treasury must' make to Intel its enormous expenses.

Evert la Mb sprinftime of folly any one must see that *him hitch a system as this is in operation the time has come when the interests of cannel are op. posted to the interests of the people who labor, and of the country, and that bonor . and safety alike re quire the curtailment of such privileges. The con tinuance of such a system must rheult in comentmt- Mg In the bands of capitalists all the money that can be wrung out of the country by taxation. We can not go on Indefinitely, paving fifteen per cent., or more, Interest on the great maga of •the public debt, and an enormous premium on what we are borrow ing from day to day since the Interest-in-gold Idei I has died out from exhaustion. It is f o r the profit of capitalists who hold gold bearing bonds to depre ciate the currency, as It enhances their rate of inter eat., but la by no means air the profit of thu people who delve, or the soldiers who tight to save the country u an heritage for those who come atter them. In presenting them ideas I have not aimed at on Inality either in substance or form. These reflec tions will not be new to thoughtful man. I only wish to Impress upon the people the necessity al compelling their representatives, by the tame of public opinion, to provide an adequate remedy for r state of things which cannot last without culmina hog in national bankruptcy and dishonor. With all deference to the eminent citizen who 1: now at the bead of the Supreme bench, it Is now too late to hold that the management of our tinatirts hitherto has been anything more than a changeable, experimental, make-ahift policy. We have gone from demand notes to legal tender, from legal-tender to private taisues of national currency, and from gold bearing to currency-bearing bonds. Let on now hope that the intelligence of a tree people will compel a repeal of capital privileges and the adoption of a flnancLyl policy which will not bring upon us Venn only less In magnitude than the great cause of the war, of which we luridly hone 10 ' hear no more forever—a system which will not end in bringing the Government to repudiation and the laboring people to beirgary. Then can we look with pride upon a Government so benetleent, that we shall knnw that oar heroic men who fought for it, and who have gone to juin " the many" have not vainly died. From Gen.
