WEDNESDAY, ITARCII 4, 1863
The Anderson Cavalry.
Worrespondence of The
CATIF GARESCUE, NEAR MURFREESBORO,
TENNESSEE, Feb. 22, 18G3
On Saturday, February 7, Colonel Palmer arrived
at Nashville. Since • the battle of Stoue river, pro
bably since the first partial organization of our regi
ment, no event has transpired of like importance, or
which, I think, will be productive of so much good
to us, as this one. Almost immediately upon the
Colonel's arrival, a detail of live men and a corps
ral Vatted with him to General Roseanne head
quarters. The results of that visit were made known
to us on the Friday following, when a dress-parade
was ordered, and Colonel Palmer made a careful and
interesting speech to us at Camp Ward. He spoke
substantially as follows : •
Fellow.soldiers : The transition from a rebel prison
to your camp has been so great, and one month ago
so unexpected, that it is with difficulty I can believe
it true. This is the proudest day of my life. Al
though eoldiera of only a week's experience, you
did your duty, nobly and well, in the Cumberland
Valley, at the time of the rebel invasion of Mary
land. Your conduct then received the commendation
of Governor Curtin, who frequently mentioned you
in his despatches in words of praise. In the capa
city of scouts, and orderlies, you rendered valuable
service during the "Battle of Antiebim," and Gen.
McClellan has said, that while he was groping about
in the dark in search of the rebel foe, much infor
mation of his whereabouts and probable designs
was obtained through you. Your energy and
activity led the rebels to believe you were ten
fold greater in number than you actually
were. "The Yankees are as thick as grata.
hoppers at the State line ;" "We will hang
these Anderson guerillas when we catch them,"
is what they said. But, alas ! what a change
has taken place. •You were organized and arrived
here on the eve of fa great battle ; Gen. Rosecrans
tells me that he had no time then to attend to your
regiment and the completion of its organization,
but ordered you to advance with him to MurfreesbOro
as a part of the reserve ; that during the battle you
had the advance, was your fault, not his. I intend
to in ake no reference to those of the regiment who re
mained.behind and have been confined in the "smoke
house," except to say that I believe there are no
cowards among them—they have been most wofully
misguided. Before attempting to mutiny, they
should have thought of the 4th Pennsylvania Regi
ment at Manassas. The men of that regiment had a
legal right to claim a disbandment and be sent to
their homes, and yet their conduct, in refusing to
face the enemy, has brought' down upon them
eternal disgrace, which they had not the opstr
tunity, subsequently, to remove, and never will
have. I have met some of these men since in active
service, and I believe they were as good soldiers as
any in our army ; but the disgrace resting upon the
4th Pennsylvania can never be removed. In r%etrd
to those of you who obeyed the order to advance
on Murfreesboro, and who took. such a prominent
and noble part in the late battle, I have only to
say that your conduct then has been the only cause
of General Rosecrans' leniency towards your mis
guided brethren. They have been released from
confinement on that account, and after my earnest
solicitation. Some of you may think it strange
that I have not been out to see you sooner, but I had
a Purpoie in this. I did not desire to come until I
could look into your faces and tell you that this
regiment will be reorganized. All I ask is your ear
nest and willing co-operation. I look around sad
see the marks of waste and destruction, which it
Will take time to repair and replace. I ask your
aid, that the time may be measured by weeks and
not months. General Rosecrans has approved of
my plan of reorganization, and promises me the best
horses and equipments it is possible to procure.
Radical measures will be resorted to, and many
among you will, I doubt not, be offended; but the
interests and wishes of individuals must and will be
disregarded where they conflict with the general
good. 1 regret that, to carry out my plan success
fully, the present organized companies will be
broken up. The "old Troop" will form Company
A, and those of the men who went to the front, and
are now in camp, will be equally divided among ten
companies; and I regret 'this the more when con
sidering the fact that two of your companies went
to the front almost unanimously. A request has
been made of me that those who went to the front
should be formed into a separate battalion ;'but this
also, is impossible.. Those of the men who have
been detailed on special duty, and those who have
b&.n in the " smoke-house,” will be ordered to camp
as they are required to. fill up the companies. There
will be 33 commissioned and 165 non-commissioned
officers. I desire to say here, that there has been
no promise made to you as a regiment, orto any of
you individually, but would have been Carried out
to the letter,!had I remained. lam happy to know
that almost all those promises have been carried
out to the letter, notwithstanding my absence. At
Camp Alabama I promised you that, in accordance
with an act of Congress, creating a third lieutenant
in cavalry companies, 11 of the commissioned • oftl
cern, should be appointed from among the new men
—but the subsequent repeal of the provision made
it impossible. However, in consideration of that
promise, 11 of the commissioned officers shall never
theless be appointed from among the new men, to
gether with the 145 non-commissioned officers ; and
they shall be the beat men in the regiment, if it is
possible to determine who are the best.-- I promise
you one thing—your regiment shall be the best-offi
cered of any regiment in the service. It is true you
were enlisted as Gen. Buell's escort, to be aftached
to his headquarters, and do special service. Of
course, I knew that Gen. Buell might be removed
from command—but I also knew, that there was no
general in the service but who would be glad to ac
cept such a regiment as yours, as his escort, and to
be attached to his headquarters. Those of you
in camp,, and who are able, will prepare, to go
to Murfreesboro to-morrow. Such is the de
sire of General Rasecrans, and I deem it best, in
order that the process of reorganization may be fa
cilitated. One word more and I am done. Beware
of rumors; they are more dangerous than the bullets
of the enemy. You have had the opportunity,
during the last week, of testing the truth of a hun
dred different rumors. Some one in the first tent
starts a rumor In jest, and, by the time it reaches
the foot of the row, there are many who will testify
to its truth. Place no reliance on rumors; prepare
yourselves to believe nothing but what has been
established by the moat indisputable evidence.
It bas been several days since this speech was de
livered, and many of the remarks made I have for
gotten; however, I think the above is reported. cor
rectly, as far as it goes. It was listened to with
marked attention, and in silence, by about two !um
dred men, drawn up in line—the first dress parade
since before leaving Louisville. The order to strike
tents, at Camp Ward, was carried out on the morn
ing of the 14th, and we took the ears for Murfrees
boro, arriving here, on our camping ground, the
same day, in a drenching rain storm. It is a singu
lar fact, that almost all our important moves have
been made during storms of either snow or rain. /t
really seems that the very elements have conspired
against our comfort.
We arc now encamped on the Lebanon pike, one
and a half miles east of Murfreesboro. This is the
left wing of the army; the 3d division (late Van
Cleve's) is encamped between us and the town,
commanded by Col. Beatty of 19th Ohio. A few
days ago I paid a visit to this division, and had a
short but interesting conversation with Major
Mandersonoath Ohio. He is a graduate of the
Central High School, and enlisted on the lath of
April, 1881, and has been in-the service ever since,
having never had a furlough or leave of absence
from duty. While I am writing, a salute is being
tired by the artillery of this division, in honor of
Washington's birthday.
I see by papers received in camp, that it has been
published in Philadelphia that the mutineers have
all returned to duty. Such is not the case. They
claim to have come out of the smoke-house under an
order of General Roseerluis, issued. some time ago,
Red which promised that they should be attached to
hie headquarters, and have the privilege of electing
their own officers. I am led to believe that a de.
termination exists among. them not to obey any
orders froin Col. Palmer.
We are much In the'same condition now as a week
ago, with the exception of the arrival of new tents,
and some wagons and teams. No apparent advances
have been made towards reorganization. However,
the work Is one of some magnitude, requiring for its
completion time and labor. There is no doubt that
a feeling of confidence in Colonel Palmer's ability to
achieve final success exists, both here and at head
quarters. For my part, I sincerely hope he may be
successful, and that those who have heretofore been
derelict in the performance of their duty will see the
error of their ways and return to their places, like
men, appreciating the blessings of our Government
and desirous of aiding in putting down the rebellion.
They will have the opportunity to redeem their
credit. They must know and feel that they have
done wrong In this matter. Their friends at home
feel it, but let us think their conduct ill advised
rather than the result of premeditated wrong, re.
membering that even the greatest and most glaring
cases of crime and folly in our fellows, "rightly
viewed, are but indications of the poSsibilities of our
own nature, commanding gratitude to God and com
passion for all human errors."
Yours truly, GUARD.
Accident on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
(Special Correispondeuee of The Press.)

A terrible accident occurred near this place early
this morning. The Philadelphia express train,
leaving your city. at 10.46 1 iP. M., and due here at
4.53 this Morning, was thirty minutes behind time,
and consequently running rapidly to make up the
time. When about a mile below Perrysville, a vil
lage distant a mile and a half from this plane, the
train ran into a land elide, and the engine, tender,
express, baggage and smoking cars were thrown
into the river, and are complete wrecks. Two
persons were killed, several are missing, supposed
to be drowned, and twenty were wounded. The
name of one of the killed is John Shearer, a drover.
from Westmoreland county. He had some $1,410 in
money upon his

by the conductor. The wounded have been brought
to Patterson, opposite this place, and properly cared

A MODEL MUNICIPAL VETO MESSAGE.
PLEATOR'N OMEN, NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 1863.
To the Honorable the Board - of Aldermen :
GENTLEMEN :-I return without approval to your
Board in which they originated the preamble and
resolutions tendering to Fitz John Porter, late a
Major General of Volunteers in the United States
Army, a public reception in the Governor's Room
of the City Hall, and condemning the action of the
United States Government in dismissing him from
the military service of the nation.
1 object to these proceedings, because I cannot but
regard them as revolutionary in their tendencies,
if not calculated to undermine the very foundations
of our Government. In letter and spirit they are
marked by the absence of that respeotto the consti
tuted authorities, and that acquiescence in their
deciSions, which are enjoined by all law, both human
and divine, and without which all government must
soon lapse into anarchy. Indeed, it was this very
spirit that led to the rebellion which is now threat
ening tke life of the nation.
At a title when all the energies of the nation are
absorbed in efforts to suppress this-armed resistance
to the national authority, it is clearly the duty of
every citizen every legislative body to do every
thing in their power to aid the Government, and,
above all, to refrain from all action that -tends to
- Paralyze its- efforts. This is the spirit which the
city of New York has always shown, and this, I am
confident, is her sentiment now. In the future, as in
the past, she will give to the National Government
a firm support, and judge its acts tvlth a candid and
tolerant spirit.'
Beside this general objection; it seems to me that
the case of Fitz John Porter presents no features
justifying your eulogy of his conduct or your cen
sures of the Government. He was charged with dis
obedience of orders in the face of the enemy, pending
a battle. Suuti conduct constitutes the highest crime
known in military law, and justly subjects the of
fenders to the punishment of death. The accused
had a thorough and impartial trial before a court
martial of his peers. Those who 'constituted the
court were able and, honorable officers, most of
whom, like the accused, bad been educated at West
Point, the graduates of which institution are usually
united by, bonds of sympathy more or less close.
Every opportunity was given him, by the widest
range ol evidence, to disprove the charges brought
against him, and to justify his conduct, if justiftca•
tion were possible..
The material evidence in the case be. fully and
fairly set forth in the able report of the Judge Ad
vocate General ; and no one can read that re
port, marked Asa is by scrupulous impartiality, and
a chivalrous sense of a soldier's duty, without a
profound. conviction that the decialpn of the court
was in.harrnony with the evidence. Nay, more ;
any one who will read this masterly report of Judge
Bolt, who is no lees distinguislimi for true con
servatism and freedom from partiefirprejudlce than
for eminent ability, cannot fail to be impressed with
the saddening conviction, not only that the charges
were true, but that , the offences were committed
tinder circumstances which stamp them with Unusual
turpitude. This is'alearly shown in the testimony
sdauced to establish the second specification under
the Brat charge.
. . .
"Prom the testimony it appears that Gen. Pope, at
10 o'clock on the morning of the 29th of August,
MO, the day on which a severe battle was fought
between the forces under his command and the re
bels, ordered Gens. Porter and McDowell, then but
a few miles distant from the scene of conflict, to
move their forces toward Gainesville, until they
should ettect a junction with the forces of Heintzle
man, Sigel, and lleno-•-leaving it, however, optional
with those (Aileen to depart from the strict letter of
the order, if in their judgment greater advantages
could thus be obtained. Gen. McDowell, hearing
the din of battle In a slightly different direction from
that indicated in the order, followed the instincts of
a soldier, and promptly put his forces In motion to
participate in it. He at the same time advised Gen.
Porter to move his command to the left of Gen.
Pope's lines, where clouds of dust and smoke gave
evidence that the contending forces were also en
gaged. Gen. Porter answered, "We cannot go in
there anywhere without getting into a fight." Nor
did be "go in," but remained passive with his force
of 11,000 men during the whole of that bloody day.
On the same day, at 4.30 P. M., Gen. Pope directed
Gen. Porter "to push forward into action at
once on the enemy's right Hank, and, if possible, on
his max." This order was not obeyed, nor was there
any attempt made to obey it. It was borne to him
by Capt. Pope, a staff officer, accompanied by Or.
duly Duffee, and placed in his hands about 5.10 P. M.
The following extract from Mr. Duffee's testimony
shows the shameful indifference with which Generol
Porter received that order :
. -
Question—Did younee the order delivered into the
hands of Gen. Porterl
Answer—Ye; sir ; I saw him take the order from
Oapt. Pope.
Q.—Was he in hie tent, or out of doors . ]
A.—He wee lying down under a shade tree when
he took the order.
Q.—Did he change his position on reading the or
der, or did he continue to lie down 1
A.—l - cannot state positively whether he rose to
his feet or not; but at the time'he was reading the
order. I notieedaliat he was lying in this position,
(descrihine him as resting on his elbow, his head
upon his band.) • -
Q.--Did you leave him lying down on the ground
when you came awayl
A.—Des, sir. • •
On the criminal disobedience and indifference of
General Porter, as exibited by this testimony, -
J udge • }l on comments with deserved severity, as
follows :
The accused had, for between five and six hours,
been • listening to• the sounds of the battle raging
immediately tolls right. Its duet and smoke were
before his eyes, and the reverberation of its artillery
was in his ears. He must have known the exhaus
tion add carnage - consequent - upon this prolonged
conflict, and he had reason to believe, as was shown
by his note to Generals McDowell and King,- that
our army was giving way before the heavy rein
forcements of the enemy. He had a command of
some thirteen thousand fresh and well-appointed
troops, who had marched but a few miletyand had
not fought at all on that day. Under these circum
stances, should not an order to charge the enemy
have electrified him as a soldier, and brought hint
not only to his feet and to.his saddle, but have: awa
kened the sounds of eager preparation throughout
his camp ? But the bugle-note of this order seems
to have fallen unheeded, and after reading it, and at
the close of an interview of from fifteen to twenty
minutes, the messenger who bore it turned aWay,
leaving theaccused still "lying on the ground."
And in a later part of the report he adds :
• But there is one feature of the inaction of the ac
cused on-the 29th, which it is especially sorrowful to
contemplate. How, unrestrained as he was, and
with the candonade of the battle in his ears, and its
smoke and the dust of the gathering forces before his
eyes, he could for seven and a half or eight hours
resist the temptation to plunge into the combat, it Is
difficult to conceive. But this alone is not the sad
dest aspect in which his conduct presents itself.
This aspect is distinctly set forth in the third speci
fication of the second charge. Colonel Marshall states
that from the cheering and peculiar yells of the ene
my heard, on the evening of the 29th, he and
every manot his command believed that General
Pope's army was being driven from the field. Gen.
Morrell also says that from the sound of the artil
lery the battle seemed to be receding, which indi
cated that it was going against the Union forces.
The accused, in his notes to Generals McDowell
and Xing, speaking of the enemy, says:
"As they appear to have driven our forces back,
the firing of the enemy having advanced and ours
retired, I have determined to withdraw to Manes
stop and, in 'further Justification of this step, he
adds: "They have gathered artillery, and cavalry,
.and infantry, and the advancing masses of dust show
the enemy coming in force." In the afternoon,
then, of the 29th, it is clear that the conviction was
entertained by the accused and his officers that our
forces were being driven before the enemy; a conchs
tion which in tones, above even the roar of the ar
tillery, should have appealed to his soldier's heart
to rush to the rescue. But, heedless of the sum
mons, he turned, not toward, but away from his
struggling companions-in-arms, in the direction of
Manassas.-
These extracts from the evidence, and from the re
port of the Judge Advocate General, give some in
dications of the conduct for which General Porter
was arraigned before a court martial, tried, convict
ed, and dismissed from the service. That conduct is
not of a character to enlist the sympathy of his fel
low-citizens, or to entitle him to municipal honors.
On the contrary, it is such as must stamp his name
with infamy and'excite the indignation of every un
biased friend of his country. - I am confluent your
honorable body could not have known, when these
resolutions were adopted, the atrocious character of
his offences, and the irrefragable proof of Ms guilt,
though I am not surprised at your unwillingnese to
believe that any one of our fellow-citizens could be
guilty of so dark a crime. He proved recreant to
the trust confided in him by the Commanderichief,
at one of the moat critical periods of the war, when
the very life of the nation was trembling in the ba
lance. Ells recreancy, in the opinion of many caps
ble officers who testified on his trial changed the re
sult of that' campaign from a brilliant success to a
disastrous failure, thus prolongdng the war and lead
ing to the sacrifice of thousands of lives which might
be avoided.
To confer honors of any kind on such a man would
be it mockeri ofjustice. It would put the cause of
our country and all military discipline to open shame.
To tender 'him municipal honors would place this
loyal city in a false position, and could not fail, Tarn
convinced, to shock the patriotic sentiments of a vast
majority °t its people.
Instead of censuring the Government for its con-.
duct in the case of Fitz John Porter, I think we
should award it our highest praise, and ask it to
mete out the same even.handed justice to all officers
guilty of like offences. It is only thus we can hope
to weed our army of cowardice, disloyalty, and in
subordination, and to bring it to that high degree of
efficiency which is essential to victory and the sup-
Fenton of the rebellion.

in which he expresses his sentiments freely in-refer

mocrats who are calling peace meetings, and ad•
vocating a cessation of hostilities. We append a
few extracts:
CAise AA' IVlenvitessoono, TENN.,
1 "February 16, 1863.
DEAR SIR : If I ever felt a blush of shame- and'
anger against citizens of myinative State, it was
when I learned of this shameless party strife, aim-.
ing to secure a cessation of hostilities ; an offer of
the olive branch of peace to the traitors who have
insulted our national traditions trampled upon the
graves of our revolutionary fathers, sacked our pub
lic treasury and armories, robbed commerce of its
honor ' violated the sacred pledges of represents,
tives, hurled brands of discord into our councils, let
loose the bitter waters of strife in our social circles
and prostituting every manly and womanly senti
ment to the hellish purpose of destroying our Go
vernment. Have they not maltreated our wounded,
robbed our prisoners and outraged the dead? Have
they not broken every compact for the amelioration
of the horrors of war Have they not exiled thou
sands from their own firesides to perish or to live
like wild beasts in the mountains 7 Who will dare
to deny that they have committed all these bar
barities 7
Yet in view - of all these facts, miserable, shame
less demagogues, cowardly traitors at home, seek to
lorce the Government into an unholy alliance with
those perfidious people. Why should there be an
effort made to shield the Southern traitors from suf
fering the full penalty of their crimes? Do they not
deserve it? Is it not the legitimate fruit of treason
and rebellion? Let no peace, no prosperity, no
safety dwell in their lands, until they lay down their
arms and acknowledge the Government they are en
deavoring to destroy.- If war in terrible earnest
cannot conquer a peace, what can? If the resources
of a mighty people and the determined energy and
bravery of great armies contending for their birth.
right cannot crush this mushroom Confederacy,
Nvhat can Will it be done by dishonoring ourselves
in humbly craving their submission, and appealing
to them to restore the Government? . .
No ; they would answer your appeal with the
thunder of artillery, and treat your submission with
defiant scorn. No ;,let it be spoken in the councils
of the aged, and taught in the lessons of our youth,
that the honor and integrity of our Union "must

THE REBEL FALSEHOOD ABOUT THE
CHARLESTON BLOCKADE.
HEADQUARTENS 176T11 REGIMENT PENNA. MILITIA,
ST. HELENA ISLAND S. 0., Feb. 21, 1863.
Sin : Having seen a proclamation issued by Gen.
Beauregard and Commodore Ingraham, to the effect
that upon the morning of the Met ult., they had, by
force of arms, succeeded in dispensing the blockading
fleet which was lying off Charleston harbor, and
also a statement purporting to have come lrom the
linglish consul at that port, and the commanding
officer of the English manoof-war Petrel, that they
had gone out to a point five miles beyond the usual
anchorage of the blockading fleet, and that not a
single vessel, could be seen, even with the aid of
powerful glasses, and that consequently the block
ade had been most effectually raised, and, knowing,
as we do, the above statement to be utterly false in
every particular, we feel constrained to tender our
evidence, as corroborative of that already furnishesi.
On the evening of January 29, the 178th Regiment
Pennsylvania militia (with which we are connected)
left Morehead City, N. C., on board steamer llos
sack, destined•for Port Royal. Upon the morning
or the 31st, when nigh Charleston, we could hear
bring distinctly. Upon our arrival off the harbor,
'Winds was at about half past eight in the morning,
we found lying there the blockading squadron, some
of which wer e at anchor, and also the prize -steamer
Princess Rosa]. The distance from land at which
tney were was estimated to be from four to five
miles, and, although the morning was somewhat
hazy, set the land could be plainly seen on each side
of the harbor. 'Vessels also could be descried in the
inlete, and by the aid of a glass, a fort, said to have
been Fort Sumpter, was risible. We were right in
the midst of the fleet; indeed, so near ea to be able to
carry on a conversation with the Housatonic, and
were boarded by officers from it and the Quaker
City. We remained there until about nine o'clock,
and shortly after we departed; the Princess Royal
followed.
Being thus near the scene of the engagement, and
so soon after it came on; we do not hesitate in the
least to pronounce the statement that the blockade
was raised, not only absurd, but utterly and wilfully
false in all particulars. And the statement of the
English consul and the commander of the Petrel, that
the squadron could not ba seen, even with the aid of
powerful glasses, is one equally false, and one-that
impels us to conclude that it would require a power
ful glass truly to be able to discover one particle of
truth or honesty in the composition of thesepenlia.
Men. The entire regiment can substantiate the above
facts, and burn with Indignation that individuals
occupying high stations, as they do, should resort to
such base fabrications to prop up a failing cause.
We have the honor, sir, to be your most ob't serv'te,

HEADQUARTERS 57TH PA. VOLS., feb. 1 35, 1863.
A meeting of the officers of the 57th Pettnsylvania
Volunteers was convened this day for the purpose of
appointing a committee to draft resolutions expres
sive of the views of the officers and privates of the
regiment in rqpird to the war, and the duty of all
Union•loving citizens in the great strumle for liberty.
Lieut. CoL Peter Sides was called to the chair,
and cart. James Darling was appointed secretary.
On motion, the chair appointed the following
named officers as that committee: Chaplain Mc-
Adam, Dr. Lyman, and Capt. Nelson, to report at
the next meeting.
The meeting then adjourned to meet at ii o'clock
the 26th inst.
FEI3I: I.' A ILY 26,1863-11 o'clock A. M.—The meeting
convened necordin to adjournment.
The minutes of .e last meeting were read and ap.
proved.
The committee. presented the following report,
which was unanimously adopted :
Whereas, The war, which has caused us to vo
luntarily relinquish the endearments of home and
the comforts and peaceful pursuits of civil life, and
to submit to the deprivations and hardships incideat
to active military service, is one which involves in
terests of the most momentous and enduring cha
racter: Whereas, As on the result Of this contest
the existence of our Government, the perpetuation
of the blessings of civil and religious liberty to the
unborn millions of future ages, and the solution of
the question—is the existence of a republican form
of Government possible? all depend: And whereas,
We have a determined, wily, and powerful foe in
front, to meet on the field of deadly combat; and
also, the machinations of a mean, cowardly, cun
ning, and ',insidious crew in the rear to scorn and re
sist: therefore,
Resolved, That we spurn with contempt and indig
nation the suggestion of the Northern "Copper
heads,' that we must approach armed traitors with
propositions of compromise, which they would
scornfully reject as alike incompatible with every
attribute of true manhood, and with the dignity and
honor of a great and powerful Government.
Resolved, That the only compromise we can con
sistently make with traitors is that they lay down
their arms and return to their allegiance.
Resolved, That the only hope of securing this re
sult is to be found in a vigorous and determined
prosecution of the war,whatever may be the re
quired sacrifice of life and treasure; till the military
supremacy of the Government is fully vindicated.
Resolved, That we are still willing to toll, and
fight, and die, if necessary, for the attainment of
this end.
Resolved, That the wide-spread opinion in the
Northern States that the Army of the Potomac is
*demoralized, and will not fight, is false and slander
ous, and we doubt not the malicious fabrication of
those Northern traitors who would stab us in the
dark, but are too cowardly to array themselves un
der the banner of the insurgents, and to meet us la
the shock of battle.
Resolved, That loyal men at home should carefully
organize themselves to watch the stealthy move
ments of the venomous "copperheads," and aid the
Government in bringing them to condign punish
ment, not only for their treacherous behavior at
home, but also for their endeavors to make their
slander of the army true by poisoning the minds of
the soldiers through the influence of treasonable
letters.
Resolved. That, as the President of the United
States is the constitutional representative of our
Government, his administration must and will be
sustained by all true patriots; and that those who
'are denouncing his administration are laboring to
the extent of their power to throw hindrances in
the way of a vigorous and successful prosecution of
the war, and deserve the unmitigated acorn of pa
triots and the hemp that is due to traitors.
Resolved, That slavery is one of the chief pillars of
strength to the rebellion • that its essential setae°.
nism to freedom renders 'its existence incompatible
with the restoration of the Union and its continued
maintenance, and that the President's emancipation
proclamation is not only humane and wise, bizt an
absolute military necessity in order to the speedy
suppression of the rebellion and the restoration of
enduring peace.
Resolved, That we heartily approve the polioy- of
organizing . all able-bodied men of 41.frloan deseent
THREE CENTS.
into regiments brigades, and divisions for active
military operations; for, as we have to risk our
lives for the maintenance of our liberties, it is but
just that they should be required to incur the same
hazards in order to secure theirs ; and as they have
heretofore been used for the promotion of rebellion,
it is but right that they should be used hereafter for
its suppression.
Resolved, That while we damot fight for any man,
or set of men, but Will cheerfully follow the leader
ship of any general whom the President, air Corn
mender-M.ollkt of the army, may, in his wisdom,
see fit to appoint over us, we take pleasure in de
claring our confidence in the ability and skill of
our present brave and gallant commander, Major
General Hooker.
Resolved, That Governor A. G. Curtin. deserves
the thanks of all true patriots for the akill,energy,
and patriotism which-he has displayed in• raising,
arming, equipping the troops of our State, andespe
daily of all Pennsylvania soldiers-for the profound
interest which be has manifested in their. welfare
generally since they have been. brought into. the
field, and especially . in his efforts to have the . Mak.
and wounded of their number removed to hospitals ,
in our own State, and as far as practicable to their
homes till fit for duty.
Resolved, That these proceedings, signed , by.the
chairman and secretary, be published-in.the Phila
delphia Press, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Harris
burg T'clegroph, and in all-the loyal papers of the dif
ferent counties in which the regiment has been
raised.
W. T. McADAMS,
J. W. LYMAN, Committee.
A. It. NELSON
It was resolved that Col. Sides, our chairman,
should call the regiment together, and that the
chairman of the committee should read this paper to
the non-commissioned officers and privates, and ask
them to take the paper under consideration. Regi
ment was accordingly assembled. Sergeant Green
was called to the chair. The preamble and resolu
tions were rend and unanimously and enthusiasti
cally passed, followed by three cheers for the resolu
tions and three more for Gen. Hooker, the army
and navy.
Lieut. Col. PETER SIDES, Chairman,
Capt. JAS. M. DARLING, Secretary.
PROGRESS IN INDlA.—Nissionarles, schools,
railroads, ateamboats, telegraphs, newspapers—all
are rapidly multiplying in India, and harmoniously,
co-operating for the civilization of that vast coun
try. which is yet destined to play an important part
in the history of mankind. Twelve lines of railroad
are in progress in Hindostan—two of them are to be
1,2.66 and 1,364 miles in length. The whole twelve
are to cost about $227,000,003. To accomplish the
work, $200,000,000 have been subscribed in England,
and nearly $4,000,000 in India. On three of the roads,
372, 330, and 211 miles, respectively, are already in
operation. The schools are at present attended by
about 221,000 children, of whom 100,000 are edu
cated by the missionaries, and 127,000 by the State.
This is as yet but a trifle in comparison with the
aggregate number of children who ought to be in
schoo and wnose number is estimated by The India
Nail a 30,000,000. Yet the number rapidly increaser,
and all the inhabitants, foreign residents and na
tives, anticipate one of the grandest moral revolu
tions In their country that the world has ever seen.

THE MONEY MARKET.
PIILIfiDELPHIA, March 3, M.
The rates for money were somewhat depressed to
day, the demand falling off largely; sfft6 'f cent were
the rates, but the former was the ruling figure. Certi
ficates of indebtedness are growing in Swot with that
class of persons desiring short investments, selling up
to The growing popularity of Government securities
is a source of congratulation to all loyal men, as the na
tional credit must shrivel to beggary just as the tree
withers to its heart when deprived of its life-giving
nom ishreent. The decidedly bad tone of the news from
the West, which had the more weight as we expected
reports totally the reverse, had the effect of checking the
upward movement in Governments. and the slims, 1651,

The Bears have been unusually active this Morning,
basing their operations largely on rumors from the KM
sissippi, from Washington, and even from the Tuileries.
There was such an air of exactitude about some of these
sensation stories that they obtained an intluence which
has had the good result of affording aiconspicuons illus
tration both - of the sensitive excitability, and of the
sound, healthy limuess of the market.
Gold has been sold this morning as high as 171%, and
as low as The oscillations seem however, emu,
po r attyely slow and sluggish after the furious spasmodic
movements of the last few weeks,
isChange is dull, at ISSX©Ia '
The loan market le very Quiet, parties preferring to
await the result of the developments of next week.
There is a good deal of surplus capital lying Idle, which
the public treasury by its great tinanclal engine will be
able to absorb when it is set in motion. .
In consequence of the excessive activity of speculation
in cold and stocks the business at the Clearing House is
unusually large, though want of space has excluded the
reports from our columns for two or three days. This
morning the exchanges were $6.1,691,762, and the ba
lances er.i,272,243 06. Even this lare aggregate is below
that of yesterday. which , amounted to a height never
equalled before, the exchanges being 673,512,253 t:),' and.
the balances $2,437,011 67. One of the significant facts
suggested by this report is the small amount of currency :
With which the heavy payments of business are made.
To pay seventy—three and a half millions of debt yester
day required but two and a half millions of currency.
