with ex-President Buchanan, at Wheatland, on na
tional subjects, at which time I handed to him my
letter, herewith, in reference to peaae internationally
and a strletly Union Presidential platform. Mr.
Buchanan expressed himself freely and frankly. He
avowed an unalterable attachment to the Union,
and had not a doubt in his ability to vindioate him
'self fully before the world. And in reply to my
letter, furnished me with his views on the war, as
contained in hia reply to an invitation to address a
Union meeting, in 1861 ; that at the time the policy
of the Government was proclaimed for the Union,
and that notwithstanding the subsequent unconsti
tutional policy for the freedom of the slave, which he
could not approve, yet was still firm in the views
then expressed, and deemed the proseeution of the
war now as absolutely demanded to sustain the
Union. The following is a copy of the letter, as
published in the Lancaster Sxprcss t and not copied
iu the journals of the country;
Whkatlakd, Sept. 28,1861.
I>bab Sib : I have been honored by your kind
invitation' as chairman of the appropriate commit
.ffce, to attend and address a Union meeting of the
atitizens of Chester and Lancaster counties, to be
held atHayeavilie on the Ist of October. This I
•should gladly accept, proceeding, as It does, from a
r mucb-valuen portion of my old Congressional dis
trict ; but advancing years and the present state of
my health render it Impossible.
. you correctly estimate the deep interest which I
feel, •*in common with the citizens who will there
be assembled, in the present condition of our coun
try.” This is indeed serious; but-ourrecent mill*
tary reverses, so far from producing despondency in
the minds of a loyal and powerful people, wiil only
animate them to more mighty exertions in sustain
ing a war which has become inevitable by the as
sault of the Confederate States upon Fort Sumpter.
For this resson, were it possible for me to address
your meeting, waiviog all other topics I should con
fine myself to a solemn and earnest appeal to my
countrymen, and especially those without families,
to volunteer for the war, and join the many thou
sands of brave and patriotic volunteers who are
'already in the field.
This is the moment for action—for prompt,
ssbbcbtio, and uhitbd aotion—and not for dis
cussions oi pbaob propositions. These, we must
know, would be rejected by the States that have
seoeded, unless we should offer to recognize their
independence, which is entirely out of the qu9stion.
Better counsels may hereafter prevail, when these
people shall be convinced that the war is conducted,
not for their conquest or subjugation, but solely for
the purpose of bringing them baok to their original
position in the Union, without impairing in the
slightest degree any of their constitutional rights.
Whilst, therefore, we shall cordially hail their re
turn under our common and glorious flae, and wel
come them as brothers, yet, until that happy day
shall arrive, it will be our duty to support the Pre
sident, with all the men and means at the command
of the country, in a vigorous and eucoesslul prose
cution of the war.
Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

• Mr. Buchanan then stated the war had assumed
the position of the Struggle between Philip 11. and
the Provinces in its determined and uayidlding cha
racter ; that peace was out of the question, upon a
basis of recognition ; that he had not seen a North
erner who would consent to a dissolution of the
Ucioa j that peace advocacy was favor to the inde
pendence of the South, the exception in my inter
national friendly tribunal basis; that foreign inter
ference must not be tolerated while the friendly
judgment of Europe could do no harm; that it was
sow an admitted fact the South would maintain in
dependence, and oppose the freedom of the clave
through Northern force—the one position unconsti
tutional, the other constitutional—while the North
were equally determined to maintain the Union,
and free the slave—the one constitutional, the
other unconstitutional. Thus, no hope for peace,
unless through the power of the judgment of
the world; and, inasmuch as I had so per
eifctently, and so long advocated mediation,
and alone, it was my duty to continue in
the cause; that, perhaps, peace might flow from
it; but in any event the Union must be preserved,
and Democratic principles must again prevail with
returning acknowledgment of all Southern consti
tutional rights. In reply to my remaiks, I should
remain tiue to the Democratic creed if alone, he said:
You will find me, in that case, by your side; that he
had nothing to regret in connection with hiß national
career, that he could not have acted otherwise
than he did, for his chart had been the Constitution,
and an endeavor to do right; that he believed, now
while a strong force was necessary to sustain the
Government,we could sever conquer the South; that
■ £*&ce must flow from other me&us, which he could
' not now see from a cloud before him; that my position
was right, in that Europe would deliberate in coun
cil as to their duly to America; that the South
would seek in that deliberation with renewed zeal
for recognition; and that thus the Administration
In power would be forced to seek safety in their
own vindication of the Union; that in Mr*
Greeley’s general national course and views, he had
merited the approbation of the people; that he read
his paper with much satisfaction, for he had shown
himself as consistent, magnanimous, and conserva
tive; that both Lincoln and Seward were likewise
more conservative, while the remaining Republican
statesmen of note were radical in the extreme •
that while Bennett was right in his advocacy of a
new Government from the people, he would fail in
elevating General Grant to power on that platform,
os he was too intimately identified with the Repub
lican party. In fine, his heart’s desire was to see
the Union sustained, and Democratic principles
once more in the ascendancy. As to himself, he
would stand vindicated in after ages from facts
entire he would leave on record. Mr. Buchanan
retains all his lofty and commanding dignity or
intellect and manner. He appeared before me
like a patriarch of old, yet in the vigor of man
hood, standing forth as among the most reli
able of the American statesmen, in vindication of
the noblest of Governments. I have stood before
kings and statesmen of power and wisdom in Eu
rope in advooacy of my peace policy. I must say
that none have so strongly impressed me with the
dignity and power of man than the noble bearing of
this truly most unjustly abused and misunder
stood patriot. In view of this vindication,
I have the honor to now herald forth to the
world, who dare question his loyalty, and if
they cannot, who will not in a manly spirit
attribute his acts as I do, at the close of his Ad
ministration, to a laudable desire to prevent civil
war through conciliation, which, if he failed in, is
none the less entitled to censure than the Adminis
tration after him, in a failure to either conquer the
South or seoure a peace under a force policy, and
who must continue to fail without a resort to an ar
mistice policy, for deliberation with the world, as
much identified and interested in securing peace and
the freedom of the slave as the North.

PROTECTION TO THB SOUTH, AND AN INTERNA
TIONAL APPEAL TO ESTABLISH SOUTHERN RIGHTS
AND SETTLE SLAVERY,
Continental Hotel,
Philadelphia, March 16, 1864.
His Excellency James Buchanan , Ea>President of the
United States of America:
No American statesman stands before the world
bo much abused and so much identified by reputa
tion and in fact, whether just or unjust) with the'
American war than yourself, and no one in the Had
holds bo commanding a position to successfully en
treat the people to such action, in the coming Presi
dential contest, as will secure a return of the plat
form of the patriot fathers, designed to maintain
American liberty, through a strict adherence to the
Constitution and Union, at the tame time, by which
action, fully vindicate yourself before the world
as a loyalist, a position now denied to you
by many of the people and the present
rulers, to whom we must all yield as the
temporary administrators of a Government that
must and will be sustained, and whloh position
is likewise meted out to the noble in purpose Me*
Clellsn, and a party now springing up from the
scattered ranks of the Democratic party, who, in
due time will control, upon a basis of principles
inaugurated in the past, the very essence of all
true government, because founded upon universal
freedom, through justioe, I then, in the now peril
of our institutions from the confirmed bloody and
mutually relentless conflict, pronounced by a pa
triotic looker-on as a most murderous warfare,
and to stay which requiring, in the language,
prayer, of the preaoher in the Senate, brains,
brains, brains—certainly a just Senatorial rebuke
and a wise petition—do appeal to you to come out
boldly in advocacy of an independent people's plat
form and candidate, solely to proolalm a war for the
Union , under constitutional right to Southern allegiance ,
with full constitutional Southern right guarantees, such
rights heiiig disputed , to be argued before a tribunal of
as also the question of slavery , to be then and
forever settled under an international claim from its
direct connection with humanity.
This position maintained by you will at once re
store lost confidence in your integrity of purpose in
action during your administration, and thereby
again extend far and wide the just and commanding
position you held as a statesman, patriot, and
Unionist—a position, in my judgment, you are still
entitled to, and which if not extended to you in the
present, will in future, by the impartial historian of
this, the moat remarkable of attempted revolutions,
from its object not to secure a different form of gOr
vernment; its Southern claim for independence and
jurisdiction over slavery ; as also in its most bar
barous, relentless, and unending character, unless
a resort be had to arbitration, as advocated by the
South, the Churoh Catholic and nations, a position
most powerful in vindication of my opposition to an
unyielding war policy as manifested- by the North
and the Church, which policy, even if universally
sanctioned as just, at leait demands an armistioe
for deliberation, particularly from unquestionable
strength and power to prosecute the war to even
subjugation, whloh result I hope notgfor in the
spirit of Beecher, that there was but one way
to kill a wasp, and that was to orush
him, grind him to the very soil.” For while I admit
it would sustain the Union—for the Union still and
must exist, so long as the Federal Government is not
overthrown by the success of the South, or a revolu
tion North—will leave but a skeleton of the most
powerful and growing of nations, with a name as a
people in youth the most humane, liberal, and patri
otic, in manhoodthe most barbarous, unyielding, and
unjust, not even heeding the noble purpose of Napo*
leon, to secure peace Internationally, seouring to
him, in connection with the proposed Congress of
Nations for general peace, the poritlon of a wi*o
and humane atatenman, uoeqnailed in connection
with peace, an was Napoleon I, Hannibal, Cieiar,
and Alexander in war,
I contend that the All.wise Creator hae given to
man for hie government, j uatice a. a baeli for action;
so likewise ior the government of nations. In pro
portion as departed from, punishment follows;
thereby the constant strife ef man and nations—
thereby our Saviour as a mediator Tor man, and
Amerloa for liberty. Man seeks in bis opposition to
destroy that meanß for eternal happiness, while
Amerioa, in a more unyielding strife, socks to de,
stroy national and human progress. It is not, then,
a wonder that the wicked in heart, and the destroy
ers of the national fabric, be they North or South,
should cot findlaupport from the Most High. Mau, to
be just, must adhere to the Jaws of God, Auierios, to
be just, mustadhere to the chart of the Coustituiion
and Union alone for safety. Our republio is founded
upon a union of States, concentrated in a Federal
Government, The Statesseoured looaljurisdiction,
the Federal Government national, which simply
meant the right to proteet the constitutional rights of
all the States at home and abroad, and which, while it
gives the right to the Federal power to demand and
sustain the rights of eaoh State against the usur
pation of any one State upon the rights of another,
and to vindicate the claims of all the States against
an attempted usurpation of nations, does not hold
the power to destroy the\rights of any State. So,
while the States only acknowledge the jurisdiction
of the Federal Government as an agent in trust,
they have no right to claim a withdrawal from such
jurisdiction without the consent of all, Under this
view, the Gouermnent.ones it to the Union and the
States to maintain Souther l allegianae; but, in so
doing, cannot destroy any .' state ebnstitutlonal
right because In open rebellion.; for, in so doing,
they assume a power alone vested by the Oon
stitution in all the States. The Union, either exists t
or it does not . If it does, but one policy can be pur
sued—a striot Union war, with all the constitutional
rights of both the loyal and disloyal States pro
tected. If it does not, then the war is unnecessary,
for no allegiance can be claimed.
It must be admitted the object of the war is, Of
should be, to sustain the Union. It is in this view
that foreign nations hesitate to act, while upon the
views proclaimed by “ Sumner” that the war must be
prosecuted for the freedom of .the slave, and, if needs
be, the South be placed in the position of Territo
ries, that they are led to believe the Union broken*
They are at least wise enough to understand that, if
the Union exists, they cannot, without great and
manifest injustice, recognize the South; while, if
broken, they are justified in so doing. Thus, then,
their desire for an international solution, and thus
the desire of the South to vindicate their claim for
independence; and thus the necessity, the absolute
compulsory position of the North to enter said Con
gress, and, in entering, to sustain the Union; to do
bo under a, constitutional platform; slave emanci
pation not to be j ustified through military necessity,
but upon grounds of strict justice, as connected with
the demands of mankind, to which the South will
s ield, thereby once more peace and returning pros
perity. WM. CORNELL JEWErT.
TUG WAR.
[From the New Torn Tribune. ]
JOHN MINOR BOTTB AND GENERAL M’CLELLAN.
On the 20th of January we published a letter from
oneof our special correspondents with the Army of
the Potomac, dated January 17. Id it he said:
“ In answer to a letter from tlie Hon. G. S. Smith,
treasurer of the Virginia State Government, to the
Hon. John M. Botta, urging on behalf of Governor
Pierpont his acceptance of the position of Senator
from that State, Mr. Botti ha* written an eloquent
response declining the proffered honor. He states
that he ia fully aware of the responsibility of United
States Senator, that the position is one which ought
to Bstisfy the aspirations of any moderate man, but
that he is compelled at present, by solemn con
victions of duty, to deoline accepting any office from
either of the numerous governments of Virginia,
representing or professing to represent that State,
His unselfisa motives he states might be impugned,
but he nevertheless believes the time not far distant
when he may be able to aid in healing the bitter
animosities of the two sections. He charges the
leaders of the rebellion as haring, 1 with miscalcu
lation upon miscalculation, and blunder upon blun
der,* brought ruin and destruction upon the * Old
Mother ol States,’ and closes by saying that neither
war, nor want, nor guttering can last forever, and
.that when the proper time arrives, he believes he
may be instrumental in the work of Union and
reconciliation.** A
And this is aU he said in relation to the letter of
Mr. Botxs to Mr. Smith, and we presume that Mr.
Smith, if anybody will take the trouble to inquire
of him, will acknowledge that he had reoeived such
a letter, and that such was its purport. It is evi
dently meant as a synopsis of the whole letter, and,
as the writer says, it ''ctosesby saying,” only a wilful
perversion of bis meaniog could construe what fol
lowed as having any reference whatever to the letter
to Mr. Smith. t
But the correspondent then goes on to relate the
substance of a conversation he had himself lately
bad with Mr. Botta, and in that is stated that gentle
man’s opinion of George B. McClellan. The letter
continues thus: _ . . . , .
»«in a conversation with Mr. Botts he stated that
never for a single instant during this war has he
doubted the final result. Hie opinion of George B.
McClellan is not at all complimentary t<fthat gea
tiem&D, whom he regards, i! toot positively disloyal
at heart, at least in the light of an ambitious aspi
rant for undeserved honors, Mr. B. stated that he
believed that the majority of the rebel army regarded
McClellan as being as truly devoted to their interests
as Robert E. Lee, and that a man who would not,
when hia name was used in connection with Davis,
V&llandigham, Wood, and others of the same poli
tical complexion, come out boldly and disclaim the
association, was totally unfit to be commander of a
Union army.”
No candid or oarerul readercould have made a blun
der here. Observe! Our correspondentjaad two items
of interest to send us—first, what Mr. Botts had to
say in reply to a solicitation that he would repre
sent West Virginia in the United States Senate,
communicated in a letter to Mr. Smith, and »* closing
by saying*” &c. ; and second, what Mr. Botts stated,
u in o conversation^ 1 of hi* opinion of General Mc-
Clellan. The two points were as ©leany distinct ia
the context of the letter of our correspondent as
they were in the mind of the writer. There is no
possibility of a mistake except by a most careless
reading—unpardonably careless if the letter was
read with the purpose of quoting it. But there
was no carelessness about it* Suon an estimate of
the character of General McClellan from such a
man as John M. Botts was too damaging to be al
lowed to pas* without notice. But how could it be
met 1 Copperhead ingenuity hit upon the expedient
of embodying the opinion in a letter to Mr. Smith, 1
and then denying —not the opinion—but that it was
ever sent in any suoh letter to that gentleman. It
was ingenious, as any forgery must be to deceive
anybody.
AFFAIRS ABOUT MOBILE,
The Mobile Register of February 27th notifies the
public that supplies of cooked proviaions, bread,
meats, poultry, or “anything most convenient,”
furnished for the men in Ftfrfc Powell, will be sent
down daily from the city. The day previous the
gULboats fired lour hundred and seventy shots and
shells at the fort, “doingitDo damage.” After one
of the return shots from the fort two launches were
lowered, and the crews were engaged in plugging,
after which) the Register says, the gunboats hauled
off. Up to eight o’clock on the morning of February
27th there was no firing on account of the foggy
weather. Three mutineers, who were to have been
executed at Mobile on the 27th, were respited to the
middle of March. The. Register advises those who
revel in high prices to make the most of their time,
Which 1b short. “ The day when a supper for a dozen
At a restAurant only bring, $l,OOO, And A lAndlord
oblige, you with poor food And worBS lodging At $2O
per dAy, of All such extravagances, is nearly over.”
The Congress has Applied a remedy for this perilous
plethora” “abort, sharp, and decisive,” and a col
lapse is to succeed which will be sudden, enough for
the financial health of the country. “ Yet,” says a
Georgia contemporary, “the medicine will oure if
the patient has a good constitution. Thirty or forty
days will suffice lor the diagnosis and the treat
ment.”
THB MUTINY AT FORT MORGAN,
I have heard that thirty out or the forty rebel,
xv ho were condemned to death for mutiuy at Fort
Morgan have been shot, and that the second officer
in command was one of the party, The other ten
were reprieved. The following are said to bs the
particulars of the affair: A large number, among
tbem the officer second in command, had agreed to
surrender the fort to the Union fleet, and arrange
ment! were m ailing for that purpose, when one of
the mutineers relented and divulged the whole plot
to the rebel General Maury, who quietly gave or
ders that a force should be sent down from Mobile
for the tiuipore of arresting the whole of the g&rri
eod at Fort Morgan. This was done, aadforty were
proved to have been concerned in the plan. These
were placed in irons, tried by court martial, and the
whole sentenced to be shot. Strong efforts were
made by the citizens of Mobile to obtain a reprieve
for them from the rebel authorities at Richmond;
but the order came that the sentence should be exe
cuted, and within the last two weeks it has been
can led into t fleet upon all except the ten who were
reprieved.— Cor. Herald,
FARE AT POINT LOOKOUT.
[From the Richmond Sentinel, March. 10.3
A returned prisoner, on whole statement implloit
reliance may be placed, Mays that the cooking esta
blishment from which his rations Game prepared the
meals for fourteen hundred men. For these, the
daily allowance of meat was six hundred pounds of
pork or fresh beef. This was reduced, however, so
far as the mass were concerned, by the extra allow
ances and extra meals allowed to the officers of divi
sions and companies, into which the prisoners were
organized. The prisoners had two meals each day—>
no supper. For breakfast they had five crackers
and a tin cup of coffee—no meat. For dinner, a por
tion of the meat above stated and a cup of soup, and
sometimes potatoes, &c, instead of the latter. The
ration was insufficient to satrsfy hunger in the oases
of many of the men.
Give even Butler his due. This gentleman says
that the condition of the prisoners was improved
after Butler’s visits to their camp, and that he him
sell saw several humane manifestations on his part.
THE PRIBONBRB TAKBN IN THB RAID ON RICHMOND,
The Examiner of the Ith thus oomments on the
fortunes of the prisoners taken in the late raid:
If the three hundred and fifty robbers whom wo
have apprehended in the attempt to burn down and
plunder Richmond, and in the very fact of pillaging
the peaceful country people around the city, are to
be regarded as prisoners of war, and exchanged in
the usual manner, they will come back of souse.
They know the way now, even better than before,
and will want no guide. It it nothing more than
a holiday excursion for them, a kind of pie-nto
party, to come and try their luck another time
in making a battue and barbeeue iin this city;
they will have their movements more exactly
mapped out hereafter, and may have better
fortune in combining the operations on the north
aide of .Tames river with those on the south side. If
they can but once, hit it, then for the oakum and
turpentine balls! Then comes the time for the six
or eight thousand liberated prisoners; and with one
day’s wreck and carnage, rape, and drunkenness,
and pillage, the sorrows of Belle Isle shall be ex
piated. If the grand “raid” fail again, why It
is but trying again. The prize of success is great;
the penalty of failure nothing; a short period of rest
and leisure in prison, then a pleasant voyage by a
flag’ of truce boat, a " reception” at home, next a
new outfit of soaked balls, and another gay ride to
the “ hateful city”—that is L» l *' T ? oo , ne l'^“’mn 7
surely cannot fail to hang Mr. Davis and his mu
tinous crew.” Indeed, the Confederate Congress
wUlbein .es,ion in a very few weeks hence, and
tb " vcur.lon party might have the good luck to out
Ml their throats where they sit, orburn the Capitol
over their heads with fire-balls. We see no reason
mhv the Yankee Government should not prosecute
this species of “ war” to all lengths, ir the Confede
rates regard it as fair warfare, and treat those con
oerned in it aooordingly, it is not for the world out
side—it is not for our enemies, above all—to find
anything wrong or irregular in it.
PUTTING COLORED TROOPS TO DRATH,
Tbe Examiner at the 10th oontains also the follow
ing significant despatch. The ltallos are our own:
A despatch was received at the War Department
horn Gen. Ross, stating that he had gome in conflict
with a company of negto cavalry, in the vicinity or
Canton, Mississippi, numbering seventy men, and
THREE CENTS.

MIBCBLL&ITBA,
H»Avr Foeaoing. —A correspondent wrltine from
Huntsville, Alabama, says • &
14 The 15th Army Corps, stationed here, h&g de
pended solely upon the country for corn and forage,
it has not received a pound of hay or corn, for the
support of Its horses or mules, for several months
past. To keep its animals supplied, long forage
trains have been sent out, well guarded, and in some
instances have gone as far as forty miles. General
Logan estimates that enough can be obtained from
the valley to sustain him two or three months
longer; but the labor of gathering it in will of course
be greatly increased. This is sufficiently onerous
now. Perhaps not another corps in the service has
* foraged 3 to such purpose, or would do so under
any circumstances. Generals Sherman and Logan
aie both notorious for ability to subsist their com
maids in the enemy’s country, yet both do so strict
ly within the requirements and regulations of the
service.”
The Newbern Times relates the following: Oapt.
Calvin Boggard, Company E, 2d Regiment North
ijArolinn Union Volunteers, was surrounded one
night last week, while visiting hia family in Bertie
county, tome distance from Plymouth, and carried
thirty miles further into the interior of Dixie. About
two o’clock at night he got up from the floor where
he was lying among his keepers, and made for the
door. In the darkness he kDOoked a large pltoher
off a shelf, the noiseof which awoke the guard, who
immediately gave chase, firing at him as he ran.
Bloodhounds were put on his track, and every effort
made for his capture. He made good his escape,
however, swimming a river and travelling bare
footed through swamps and thiokets, and finally ar*
lived safely in Plymouth.
The Albany Evening Journal says }Mr. J. B< Db
Bcw has been imprisoned, and his review sup*
pressed by the Confederate authorities, for publish
log some statistics “ not very complimentary to
the system of cumpulsory labor.” This is a Yan
kee jfifc, which, of course, needs no correction here;
but we would mention in this connection the fact
that Mr. De Bow honored us with a call a few days
since. He was in fine health and spirits.— Mobile.

THE STATE.
Reception op the 79th.—A correspondent writes
to us from Lancaster, at date of March 16, as follows:
The gallant 79th Regiment of P. V. has at last ar
rived at home, and met with a great reception.
Flags were displayed from all the buildings in the
city, with appropriate inscriptions thereon. They
left the cars at the intersection of the Harrisburg
pike and the Pennsylvania Railroad, about a mile
distant from the city.
The process ion was about a mile and a half long.
After marching through the principal streets of the
city, they rested at Fulton Hall, where a splendid
collation was prepared for them, to which they did
ample justice. The 79th numbers about 300 men, all
of whom have re-enlisted except fifty.
The regiment has met with a set of receptions
from the time it left the front until it arrived here,
similar to the one it received hereto day. It is con
sidered one of the best regiments in the field, and it
is really a treat to see them go through the manual
of aims.
Steel Railb.— ln consequence of the rapid de
struction of iren rails under the increasing pressure
of heavier engines and augmented wear and tear,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is considering
the necessity of substituting steel, or steel-capped
rails for Iron. It seems that in Europe the inve ;ti
gations into the matter have led to the adoption of
rails either made wholly of steel or oapped with
steel; and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
already procured, by way of a beginning, one nun
died and fifty tons of rails made wholly of cast steel,
and is alto giving a trial to the steel-cap,>ed rails.
Fatal Accident.— -On "Wednesday, the sth inst.,
Mr. John Daniels, of West New Castle, was en
gaged in repaying one of the puddling furnaces in
the Cossola iron works, when the stack gave way
and fell, coveiing him up in the debris of it and an
adjoining fuib&ec in full heat. The heat of melted
iron and burning combustible from the work pre
vented any immediate assistance being rendered
him, and he was in this situation burned to death.
CuEiotig, if -True.— The Lancaster Express pub
lishes the following curious incident: Christian
Zimmerman, Tedding near FairvtUe, East Earl
township, lost a valuable horse, in a singular man
ner, on Tuesday of last week. He was ploughing
with three horses in a field when the whole team
suddenly went down in “ a sink hole ” to the depth
of nine feet. With the assistance of the neighbors
two of the horses were taken out of the miry tomb,
but the third sank out of sight in the abyss, and
could not be recovered. No similar occurrence ever
took place in that section.
Report of the Lackawanna, and Blooms
burg Railroad Co —We have received the annual
report of tbiß company for 1564, which presents .a
most satlsfactoiy exhibit of the past year’s busi
ness. In Addition to a large expenditure for side
tracks, buildings, fee , made out of the earnings of
the year, the company has materially reduced its
indebtedness. The total receipts for transportation
were $511,824 12 : expenditures. $251,383 59 ; leaving
as net earnings, $257,440 53 This, with the limited
equipment of the road, is but an augury of what
this tiunk line through the heart of this valley will
ultimately accomplish.
Selling aHusband —A German, named Gouch,
who, for a number of years, resided in this place,
but is now attached to a cavalry regiment at Caam
berstmrg, was Arrested a few days since, by Sheriff
Rippey, and brought to Carlisle, charged with
having more wives than the law allows. It seems
Gouch became tired of his lawful wife, and wooed

FifiHßL Pardoned. —Isaac Fishel, confined at
Carlisle Barrack*, and under sentence to be shot for
desertion and piloting the rebels in their last raid
into this State, was pardoned by the President on
the 10th iLSi. The pardon was procured through the
exeiliona of Mr. Ebaugh and other gentlemen of
Yoik county, who procured evidence of the man’s
insanity, with which Mr. Ebaugh proceeded to
Washington, and through the assistance of Hon.
Joseph Hailey, induced the President to grant an
unconditional pardon.
Triplets —The Westmoreland Republican says*
" We learn that a few weeks ago Mrs. Trimble, wife
of James Trimble, of Indiana county, formerly of
Ijftgonier valley* in this county* gave birth to three
female children, the combined weight of which was
twenty-one pounds. They are doing well, and all
unusually healthy. As tbe mother was formerly a
resident of this county, Westmoreland will claim
the credit of this Increase in the human family.”
Democratic State Convention. —This body
will meet in Philadelphia on Thursday, the 24th
inst. Its principal business will be the election or
delegates to the National Democratic Convention,
and the nomination of a Presidential electoral
ticket. Nearly all the delegates are instructed for
McClellan for President, and he will doubtless be
the unanimous choice of the Convention.
Supper to the 84th Veterans.—The returned
soldiers of the 81th Regiment or Pennsylvania Vo
lunteers were treated to an elegant supper, on last
Thursday evening, by Mrs. Thaddeus Hanks, at the
residence of husband, Thaddeus Banks, Esq, of
Hollidaysburg. This is a well-deserved compliment
to the scarred and war-worn veterans of the 84th*
A Sudden Death.— The father of Rev. C. Earle,
in> Catasauqua, died very suddenly on Thursday eve

Perplexities of the Copperheads*
Next to the rebels we know of no olass whose di
lemmas are moie numerous or deplorable than those
of the Copperheads. We give a sample:
X. Unless they can pass for Democrats they have
no party, but— *
2. If they try to pass for Democrats the party
won’t have them.
3. Unless they can combine with the rebels, neither
can succeed, but—
4. It the rebels succeed they can no longer com
bine with them.
6. So long as the Union cause triumphs, they can
never rule tbe country, but—
6. When the Union cause fails there will be no
country to rule.
7. Before fighting they would seek a disunion
peace, but—
8. Before getting a disunion peace they must fight
the Unionists,
9. Peace to them means peace with those who are
fighting against the Union, snd war with those who
are fighting for it, but —
10. They find it costs more “knocks” to fight the
country *# friends than it would to subdue its enemies.
11. They believe In all the rights of man, especially
in his right to own men, but— -
12. They oppose ‘'woman’s rights,” particularly
tbe rights of a black woman to her chastity and her
children.
13. They favor the largest liberty, to wit: the li
berty of a State to secede, in order to promote slave
iy, but—
-14. They oppose insurrection and rebellion espe
cially the rebellion of the Federal Government
against the supremacy of the slave States.
15. They sympathize with the conservative efforts
of Jefferson Davis to pieserve the “ Union as it was
and the Constitution as it is,” but—
-16. They believe all the acts which Abraham Lin
coln has done, can do, or ever may do, to maintain
the Union, are unconstitutional and revolutionary
usurpations. . .
17. They would colonize all soldiers of color, but—
-16. They do not believe in colonizing theVallan
dighnma who desert their colors. ■
19. They fear abolition, least it may lead to amal
gamation, but—
-20. They like slavery because it compels amalga
mation. ,
21. They believe that God has made the negro
their inferior, hut—
-22. They fear abolition will make him their aupe
**23* They know McClellan to be opposed to the
war* or they would not nominate him, but—
-24 They want him to cany on the war, because
he is opposed to its being carried on. .
25. They pretend to believe that McClellan made
war on the rebels, but— .
26. They republish his official report as a campaign
document, to show how successfully ue made war
on tbe Administration* _ ... n
-27. To require rebels to swear to support the Con
stitution and laws, before voting, la to infringe the
11 ga* To*prevfnt volunteers who are fighting for
the Union from voting, Is to sustain the llgnt of
‘f/Thcv deny that the civilization of the North
is superior to that of the South, but—
-30 This involves tbe admission either that bad as
are the rebels, the Copperheads are no better, or
else that the Copperheads enjoy no share of North
em civilization. ■ *

GENERAL NEWS.
Locomotivbb fob the Government.— We are
informed that there is no truth in the despatch from
Paterson, N. J., published in the newspapers yester
day, to the effect that Col- McCsLlum had notified
the locomotive builders of that plaoe that unless
they would furnish immediately a large number of
locomotives to the Government, he would seize
tfceir shops and run them until the requisite number
of engines was completed. The facts of the case
are simply these • The reopening of roads in the*
West and Southwest makes it neoessary that about
120 locomotives shall be ready for transportation
thither at the earliest practicable moment, and Col.
McCallum haß visited the shops alluded to in Pater*
son, as also Norris’ and Baldwin’s in Philadelphia,
end similar works elsewhere, for thq purpose of se
ouiing such engines bb are near completion, The
builders prorapiy acquiesced in the request of the
agent of the Government, and the Western roads
will be supplied, although necessarily to the incon
venience of the corporations for whose use they
were originally ordered.
Another Snare Story.— Between the point of
Lookout Mountain and Bridgeport, down the valley
of the Tennersee, lie twenty-five miles of dead mules*
in one continuous string ; the head of the first car
cass lying on the >s quarter-deck ”of theone beyond
him, and so on, throughout the entire distance.
Just imagine a convulsion of nature ol sufficient
magnitude to buiy these remains as they now lie.

A letter from Rome gives the following details
of the Jesuits, whose church was recently visited
by the Pope: The number of the members of the
order is increasing. At tbe end of the year 1863 it
was 7,319, or 118 more than in 1862. They are dis
tributed among nineteen establishments, of which
five me in Italy, five in Germany and Belgium,
three in France, two in Spaim and four in England
and America. The Italian Jesuits number 1,617;
the Austrian, 362; the Belgium, 576; the Dutch,
236; the German* 584; tbe Frenca, 2,266; the
Spanish, S6S; tbe English, 270; the Irish, 136; and
the American, 350; the rest belonging to other na
tions. As may be seen, France has the most. At
Rome there are 344, and in the foreign missions
1,362, of whom 660 are French, 196 Spanish, and 260
Italians, tbe remainder being natives of other
countries.
A course of public lectures, for the benefit of the
wounded Poles, is being delivered in Paris with an
immense effect, which gives to them the weight of
imposing political demonstrations. The first lec
ture, on Dante, was attended by 3,000 people.
Touching on Dante’s hatred of the oppressors of his
country, the lecturer, Count Pouohe Oareil* uttered
a fierce denunciation. against the Russian tyranny
in Poland in tbe nineteenth century, and declarug
that Europe should not remain passive while such
outrages were committed. Above all, France, as
“the soldier of G&d,” should, and he doubted not
would, hasten to the relief of Poland. The wildest
applause followed these sentiments.

A Danish War Vessel Detained. —ln the
British House of Commons, on the 29 sh ult,, Mr.
Layard announced that the Danish ship of war re
cently launched, would not be allowed to leave
England, until after the termination of hostilities
between Denmark and Germany. Tbe matter was
well understood between the Cabinet and the Dan*
ish minister. It is surprising how vigilant and neu
tral John Bull can be, when it is fur his interest to
do the correct thing. Had this vessel been ordered
by the “Emperorof China,” or constructed for the
Confederates, J. B would have awoke to his respon-
Bibilities, only when it was too late.
Much dissatisfaction is said to exist among the
rebel Mississippi troops, caused by the speculation
in cotton by the rebel Generals Forrest, Chalmers,
Ferguson, Richardson, and others. The rebel sol
diers say that the cotton la taken from their wives
by scouts, detailed for that purpose, who, running
the blockade at Memphis, briDg back greenbacks,
and civide the spoils with the generals.
