DEATH OF COL. KNODERER
We deeply regret to announce that Col. CHAS
A. KNODER6II, commander of the TOTth Regiment
Pennsylvania Militia, died at noon on Sunday
last in the Regimental Hospital near Suffolk,
Va., of the wound he received in the battle of
Blackwater, on the 80th ult. Col. Knodercr was
a native of the Grand Duchy of Baden, and edu
cated in the Polytechnic School of that Govern.
ment. After graduating, he entered its service
as a Civil Engineer, and subsequently as a Lieu
tenant in the Army. When the Revolution of
18.18 broke out, he abandoned his position and
prospects as an officer in the Army of the Grand
Duke, and joined the patriots of Germany in
their struggle for constitutional liberty. Ile
served with the gallant Stow, throughout that
short but disastrous campaign ; and afterward,
with hundreds of others who had taken part in
it, fled from Europe, and found in America a
home and a country. He came to Reading in
1840, and in 1850 entered the service of the
Schuylkill Navigation Company as an Aefietant
Engineer, in which capacity he was employed
until September, ISGI, when a desire to aid his
adopted country in the suppression of the rebel
lion took possession of his mind, and was grati
fiedin his appointment as a Onplain of Engineers
on the Stall of Gen. Sigel. During his service
is the short campaign of Mej. Gen: Fremont in
Missouri, he distinguished himself by.building
the famous bridge across the Osage river. On
the removal of Gen. Fremont, he felted himself
without a position, and returned to Reading,and
resumed his connection with the Naviga.
tion Company. in the early summer of 1802,
he engaged actively in the effort to recruit three
Companies for a Regiment that 'wad thee
forming at Pittsburgh, for Gen. Sigel's command.
He was making satisfactory progress, when the
organization at Pittsburgh suddenly broke down,
and the effort had to be abandoned.
In September last, when the invasion Of our
State by the Rebels was threatened, and the
Governor called out a force of Militiafor its de
fence, Col. Knoderer marched with one of the
Companies of our city as a private,and at Harris
burg was elected Colonel of the 11th Regiment
of Pennsylvania Militia, in which position lie
earned the confidence and respect of the men
under his command, and all with whom he be
came acquainted, by the knowledge and skill he
displayed in military science, and the kind so
licitude he exhibited for the comfort and safety
of his men_ When the Draft was made in this
county, be was appointed Commandant of the
Camp of Rendezvous that was established near
Reading; and on the organization of the drafted
men into a Regiment, he was elected and com
missioned its Colonel. When the Camp was
broken up, and the Regiment !enrolled to Wash
ington, it was ordered to Suffolk, Va., where it
still remains. Col. Knoderer's abilities as a Mil
itary Engineer were early recognized by his su
perior officers, and frequently called into requi
sition.
Of the battle of Blackwater, early on the
morning of the 30th ult., in which Col. Knode
rer received his death-wound, full accounts have
been published. He bad ordered hie men—who
were exposed to a severe lire from the enemy , .
batteries, about 600 yards distant—to lie down,
to protect tbein from the shells, while he remain
ed standing. Subsequently, as he was mounting
his horse, be wee struck in the left hip by a piece
of shell, and carried off the field. The following
Orders were issued by Gen. TERRY, on the day
of his death. They attest tbe estimation in which
he was held by the Army :
GENERAL ORDERS NO. 4.
IL 6. TEKUT - 5 131smeus,}
SUFFOLK, Va., Feb. 15, 1863.
The General Commanding this brigade an
nounces with sorrow the death of Charles
A. Rnoderer, of the One Hundred and-Sixty
seventh Regiment, 'Penneylvania Infantry. Ile
died at the Regiments!. hospital this day, at 12
o'clock, Id., of a wound received in the late ac
tion at the "Deserted House," near the Black
water river, Va., on the 20th ultimo. In the
death of Colonel %Declarer, the ogiors and men
of this command have lost a good officer and a
worthy man, and the country is again called to
mourn the death of a soldier and a patriot. Let
his sacrifice be an occasion for every soldier to
renew his vows of fidelity to the Constitution
and the Haien, and an incentive to sustain with
new vigor the " old flag" wherever it may be
borne. The funeral ceremonies which are to take
place on Tuesday morning, will be under the di
rection of Col. Alfred Gibbs, of the One-Hun
dred-and-Thirtieth Regiment New York Volun
teens, which Regiment will form the escort.
By command of Brigadier General IL D. Ter
ry. F. S. Anans,
Lieut. and A. A. Gen.
Colt Knoderer was about 86 years of age. He
was a man of rare attainments, both in his pro—
fession as a Civil Engineer and in Military Sci
ence. Had he lived, he doubtless would have
won distinction by deeds for which his country
Would have been ever grateful; but Providence
had otherwise ordered, and we can only remem
ber the patriotism which prompted his actions,
and shed a tear of regret that the Army of *the
Union should have lost his valuable services at
so early a period of his career.
The body of Col. Knoderer is expected to ar
rive to-day, and his funeral will take place as
soon as the proper arrangements can be made,
of which due notice will be given.

THE CONSCRIPTION BILL
Mr. Wilson's Lill, which passed the Senate on
MonVay night, provides in substance as follows:
All able-bodiA male citizens, and iltose who
have declared their intuitions to Leconte such,
or have exercised the right of suffrage, between
the agoo of 20 and years, constitute the Isla
Ilona' forces of the United States, and are liable
to perform military ilaty when called out by the
Precidente The exempts ate these who are
physically or mentally unfit, the Vice President,
heads of Executive Departments, United Stales
; Judges, Governors of ..tates, only son of an in
dipnt widow, or infirm parent, or one such Bon,
where there are two or more, to be selected by
the inrent, also the only brother of orphan chil
dren under twelve years, also the father of
motherless children of the same age; and where
two of a family are in militarylserricee the re
mainder of such fpnity, not exceeding two, shall
be exempt. No person convicted of felony shall
be enrolled or permitted to serve.
The National force not now in service is to be
divided into two elaeles, the first class embracing
all between and 7.:1 years of age, and all un
married men between 3.5 and 45 years of age.
The second class embraces till the others and will
not be called into service until after the first
class. For convenience of enrollment, dialrlels
are made corresponding with the Congressional
districts; in each of which the President shall
appoint a Provost Marshal with the rank and
pay of a Captain of Cavalry, or lie may detail an
officer of similar rank who shall have a Bureau
in the War Department, and shall make the
needful rules gud regulations for carrying out
the provisions of this act. These Marshals are
to arrest deserters, report treasonable practices,
and detect spies, &e.
In each district there is to be a Board of En
rollment, consisting of the Provost Marshal and
two other persons, appointed by the President,
one of whom is to be a physician and surgeon.
This board shall divide the district into conveni
ent sub-districts and perfect an enrollment once
in each year, each class to.be enrolled separately.
Persons thus enrolled are subject for two years
to be called into•service to serve for three years
or during the war, on the eame footing with the
present volunteers, advance pay, bounty money,
included.
When necessary to make a draft, the President
shall indicate the number for each district, ta
king into consideration the number already - fur.
niched since the beginning of the war, so as to
fairly equalize the burden ; the enrolling officers
shall then make the draft with 50 per cent addi
tion, and within ten days nerve notice upon the
drafted men.
Substitutes may be furnished, or commutation
made not to exceed three hundred dollars, at the
discretion of the Secretary of War. Any person
drawl and failing to report, or furnish a sub
stitute, or pay his commutation, shall be deemed
a deserter, and subject to immediate arrest.
The bill provides for the proper surgical exam
ination of drafted men, and the punishment of
surgeons who fttei.Ve bribes.
When the draft is finished, all those not taken
are allowed traveling pay to their homes. Those
who furnish substitutes are exempt for the entire
time of draft, and the substitute has the same
pay. &c., as though originally dtafted.
The bill also provides that volunteers now in
service who re-enlist for one year shall have a
bounty of $5O, one half paid down; those who
enlist for two years roceive $25 of the regular
$lOO bounty.
There are also provisions for the consolidation
of skeleton regiments ; also that Generals in the
field may execute court—martial sentence against
spies, deserters, mutineers, or murderers, with
out reference to the President ; courts—martial
may reduce absentee officers to the ranks ; cloth
ing, arms, de., shall not be sold, pledged or giv
en away, and may be taken wherever found in
ilirgal hands ; persons who entice soldiers to de.
Bert, or harbor them, or buy their arms or uni
forms, and ship captains or railroad conductors
who knowingly convey deserters, may be lined
$.500 and imprisoned from eix months to two
years:
Any person who resists a draft, or counsel:
others to do so, or dissuades them from perform*
log military duty, shall be summarily arrested,
locked up until the draft is finished, then be
tried by a civil Court, and fined $5OO or impris
oned two years, or both.
The President, on the passage of this act, )Mall
issue a proclamation recalling absentees from the
army, who may return without punishment with,
in the time indicated, except the - forfeiture of pay
for the time of absence; those who do not return
will be deserters.
Officers absent with leave, except for sickness
or wounds, receive helf.--pay officere absent with.
out leave, no pay at all. There are other pro
visions., but chiefly of details not particularly
important.
This bill, it will be observed, confers new sed
extraordinary powers upon the President. In
effect, it establishes martial law over the whole
Union. It over-rides the constitutional and
statute authority of the State Governments over
their citizens, in respect to military service, and
consolidates the supreme power in all thinga
pertaining thereto, in the hands of the President.
it would be useless to discuss the constitutional
ity of this or any other measure, in view of the
present policy of the Administration; but we
may be permitted to question the necessity for
so radical a change in the established Militia
System of the cenntry, in consideration of the
fact that only requisition heretofore made by
the Federal Government upon the State author—
ities,has been promptly and patrotically answer
ed ; and in no case, except that of Massachu-
Betts, has there been the slightest indication on
the part of the Governors of any of the loyal
States, of an intention to withhold from the
President the support of any portion of the
whole war power of the nation in the effort to
suppress the rebellion, and restore the constitu
tional relatiode between the seceded States and
the Federal Government. The conscription bill,
in view of the manifest tendency of the measures
ofThe present Congress toward absolutism, may
well excite suspicion and distrust, if not a
stronger feeling. It has yet to pass the House.
The vote on its final passage in the Senate, is not
given.
CLBII/OAL Onanoss.—Rev. Goo. N. Latimer,
of Schuylkill Haven, has accepted a call to the
rectorship of Christ Church, Pottstown, and will

unanimously elected pastor of the German Re
formed Churches at Pottstown, Limerick and
New Storeville (the latter in Amity township,
Berke county,) recently under the charge of
Rev. N. S. Strassberger. Mr. Strassberger has
been chosen pastor of Zion. Church, at Allen
town.
THE TAX ON TAVERN KNEPERO.—Mr. Killinger
writes to the Lebanon Courier from Washington,
that the Committee on Ways and Means of the
House have adopted an amendatory clause which
will in future obviate the diffieulty in regard to
the double tam imposed on tavern keepers by the
Internal Revenue laws. The license for retail—
ing will not henceforth be required, and the tav
ern keeper need not pay more than one license.
THE WAR.
We have no war news of interest this week,
except a report from rebel sources, that an im—
mediate assault is to be made on Charleston and
Savannah. Gen. Beauregard, as military com
mander of Sough Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
issued a proclamation on the 13th lust., declaring
it to be his solemn duty to announce to the citi
zens and authorities of Charleston and Savannah
that an attack by the land and naval forces of
the United States is about to be made upon either
or both cities, and warning those who are not
able to lake up arms ipr their defence to retire
to some place of safety. He urges, however,
upon every one who eau join in the struggle at
tt this hour of trial" to do so without regard to
the kind of weapons they may have in their pos
session. Pikes and scythes, he says, will do for
the destruction of their enemies, and spades and
shovels for the protection of their bresinee, al—
tars and the graves of their fathers. General
Beauregard is evidently alarmed at the anaconda
grip which is closing round him.
YEARNINGS VOR PEACE
It is the fashion now, with Abolition journals
in the pay of the Administration, to denounce
every one who ventures to express a wish for
puma, as a traitor. These " shoddy " patriots
dread the thought of an end of the war, for then
their occupation will be gone, and they will not
be able to live any longer on Government plun—
der. If anxiety for peace be indeed treason, we
may safely set down a large majority of the
Northern people as traitors; because it is evi
dent that the desire for a speedy peace is preva
lent among all classes of the community, and it
is becoming so strong that many are beginning to
cry aloud for peace at any price. We mention
this, simply as &fact, without wishing to be un
derstood as favoring any peace movement thw.
has not for its basis the restoration of the Union,
upon the compromises said guarantees of the
Constitution. But,such steeling exicts,and those
Who "don't see it," are wilfully blind. It is not
confined to men of any party, as the " shoddy "
patriots would have the people to believe ; but
is even shared by many Republicans ; such of
them, for instance, as are not possessed with the
mad idea that the freedom of the negro must be
achieved at the cost of national ruin. A late
letter from Washington to one of the leading
New York journals, says : "Prominent Repub•
Roans have been heard to announce them:select+
in favor of peace upon any terms, and to say
that that platform is the only one that can be
successful in the next Presidential canvass."
There is a gori deal of truth in the last declara.
tion. War must be successful to be popular ;
and, however patriotic a people may be, they
will become tired and disgusted with a war that
has been waged for two years, at an enormous
waste of blood, and treasure, with no satisfactory
results. And, what is worse, the abolitionixed
policy of the Administration, which it seems
determined to pursue to the fatal end, leaves but
little hope that the future conduct of the war
will be any more efficacious. Nothing but deci
sive victories will arrest the growing yearnings
for "peace at any price."
{COMMIINICATED. I
"DISLOYALTY" AND " TREASON."
The editor of the Berks and Schuylkill Journal
has been, for some time past, rampant in de
nouncing newspapers and individuals, who re
fuse to approve of, and say awn! to, all the
acts and measures of the Abolition Administra
tion at Washington,.and says : " Let every loyal
man and woman cease wrangling about the
Government," &c.
Allow me to ask the editor: Did he or any of
the fraternity attached to his party, during the
Mexican War, ever condemn, or even as much
as find fault with the course of his party friends
in Congress. Mr. Delano, from Ohio, said:
4 , Send your armies, in the prosecution of this
ILLEGAL, UNRIGHTEOUS and DAMNABLE
Wilt, to the mountains of Mexico, and disease
and the foe will sweep them off in thousands.
The passes and mountains of Mexico would be
come a charnel house for our people and their
bon would be scattered all over its vast terri
toryWefore this peace would be conquered. *
So far 'the amount of the appropriations was
about $15,000,000. If the people had any com
mon sense, they would hold responsible the au
thors of this war, which was conceived in fraud
and was to be consummated in iniquity."
This was plain and Inld language, and at a
time, too, when we were engaged in a war with
a merciless foreign foe. Provost Marshall; were
not in vogue then. The reason why is, because
the Government was in the hands of the Demo.
erotic party. Did the immaculate editor of the
Journal AT THAT TIME publish a single word in
condemnation of sentiments, which, if uttered
AT THE 'PRISM nate, be would doming, as
treasonable f I doubt it very much. Again,
what did Mr. Ashmun declare, upon the floor of
Congress ?
The pages of history furnish no instance
of an executive officer so utterly imbecile and unfit
for-a post of honor as the present President of
the United States. Could the ghosts of the hun
dreds and thousands, who have lost their lives by
sickness and the sword in Mexico speak, they
would shout that their murderer was James R:
Polk, and his wretched Cabinet. When we are
done with this war, and the amount of blood of
free born Americans shed through his misman
agement is known ; when the immense debt
brought upon us is set forth in dollars and cents;
then will hie fellow citizens bewail that day upon
which they east their suffrages for such a man."
Such were the opinions and sentiments of the
party, which the editor of the Journal supported
during that war. Neither President Polk nor
his Secretary of War, ever even threatened to ar
rest, much lees send to a &utile, fort or prison,
any of the enemies of the Administration or
Government for uttering them. The editor of
the Journal will probably say, that the above
quotations were merely the sentiments of indi
vidual members of his party. Such a reply
will, however, not suffice. It is extremely doubt
ful that he ever denounced them, although he
was aware of their guilt; autilis dare not even
now declare those sentiments to have been trea
sonable at the time they were put forth. He is
afraid to do so at the present time, because he
might be removed from of ice, which be holds
under ati Administration, the members of which,
during the Mexican war, gave "aid and com—
fort " to the enemy, as this Abolition editor terms
it now, when any Democratlhas sufficient bold
ness to declare against its unconstitutionafacts.

]fr. Editor
Allow ins to correct an error which I saw In your paper
some time ago. Lieut. Widdifleld, formerly a Lieutenant
of Couipany 4135th Regiment, from Bncke county, who
was severely wounded at the battle of Antietam, returned
to hie Regiment a tee dare ago, not with the Intention of
going on duty, for his wounds are of stick a nature as to
prevent hint ever more from going into the service of Me
country; but be returned to bid farewell no hie friends and.
comrades, and then resign. He has since tendered his
resignation, which has been accepted, and receiving an
honorable discharge, he returned to Me home. An regarde
his taking offence because Capt. F. AI. Yeager bad been pro.
tooted to the command which he (Lieu*. Widdilleld) was
justly entitled to, bad Ms wounds permitted, it is a great
mistake, as he he too much of a gentleman and a soldier to
let eeltleh and avaricious ambition run away with that
principle for honesty and Integrity, for Which be was al.
wale noted. Yours,
ONE OF THE REGIMENT.

TEE CONOCarprtoN Bit:h.—The Springfield
: (Mass.) Republican —a paper that sustains the
present Administration—in speaking of Senator
Wilson's Conscription bill, says
" The old regiments need to be filled up badly
enough, no doubt, but there is a question whether
the General government hoe the right under our
Constitution to take men by foroe from the
States, without any reference whatever to the
laws of the States, or to the Governors of the
States, and put them into the army of the nation.
Under the bill I am writing about, Gov. Andrew
can be drafted as a COMM soldier into the ser
vice. lie would be compelled with the Maera
chusetto Legislature to go into the army at once,
or that portion of them who are under forty—five
might."
Does not the Republican know that it is guilty
of great presumption, if not something worse,
in doubting the right of the Administration to do
anything it pleases with the property, liberty
and lives of oitizena I Has it no fear of Fort
Warren before its eyes?
A Lowc-Loer SON BRIMMED. —Mr. Samuel
Krause, eldest eon of Mr. John J. Krause, Sr., of
Allentown, returned home unexpectedly last
week from Lima, Peru, in South America, after
an absence of 27 years. For the last 17 years no
intelligence whatever had been received from
him, and his parents and friends had settled
down in the belief that he was dead. He re
turned to this country as Secretary of Legation
from the Peruvian Government, and on Satur—
day left Allentown for Washington to assume his
duties.
LIBEL Sorr.—Messrs. Prizer and Darlington,
Editors and Proprietors of the Bucks County In
ielligencer, published at Doylestown, have been
arrested and bound over on the charge of Libel,
at the instance of Col. Owen Jones and Captain
Jacob It. Stadelman, of Lower hlerion township,
Montgomery county. The charge is based 'won
the publication of an article on the 9th of De

that object.
