Norse Areas IN THE ARMY.—The statement of a New York journal of Wednesdtiy that the Provost Marshal General has prohibited the sale of newspapers in the Army of the Potomac, and ordered the agent back to Aqui& Creek, is with out foundation. in truth. No prohibitive orders relative to the sale of newspapers have been is sued- gar DISGUISE IT as they may, the policy of the dominant party, upon which the war is now conducted, is founded oh the doctrine of Sewird's " irrepressible conflict," which denies that the Union can exist part slave and part free ; and they mean, if they can, to establish the truth of this doctrine by forcing, at the point of the bayonet, an eternal reparation of the free from the slave States, or the annihilation of slavery, and the subjugation of the slave-holding States al the Federal authority under a centralized, consolidated government, framed in consonance With their radical dogmas. But for this fanati cal and ruinous policy of the party in power, our troubles might have been peaceably settled by the adoption of the Crittenden Compromise. Vindication of the 167th Petinsyl- vania Militia. The Berks County Regiment of drafted Militia has been very thoroughly vindicated - from the false accusations of insubordination and cower- - dice at the battle of Blackwater, that were made against it by anonymous correspondents of the New-York journals. In addition to the nu• ;onerous letters from eye-witnesses of the fight, which have already appeared, we this week pre sent additional testimony in refutation of 'these chsrgts. The first is a General Order of the commanding General, disavowing all official knowledge of the author of the libels, and re sponsibility for their publication. Next, we have a letter to the New-York Times, from the lion. S. E. Ancona, stating facts that in them selves give the lie to the misrepresentations of its correspondent ; and following this, is a let ter from Adjutant Kiefer to the Philadelphia journals, to the same effect. After all this tes timony, we hope we shall bear no more in ridi cule or disparagement of the 167th Pennsylva nia Militia. GENERAL ORDERS NO- 7. Bean QUARTZIIII, 817FFOLK, Va., February 7, 1863. - The attention of the commanding General baring been drawn to a dispatch in the New• York Tribune, of the 6th 'Met., purporting to give the contents of a letter from Bead-Quarters, be thinks it proper to assure the troops, to whose gallantry it does serious injustice, that no per eon officially connected with these Bead Quar ters is in auy way responsible for the same. By command of Major General Peek. BENJAMIN B. FOSTER, Major, Last. Adjt. General. (official.) LETTER FROM HON. S. E. ANCONA. Hesunierom errs, Monday. Feb. 9, 1863. Te the Editor of the New York Times In your issue of the 3d . inst. appeared a letter from your correspondent at Suffolk,in which--per Nape unintentional—injustice was done to the One Hundred and Sixty-seventh Pennsylvania Mili tia, especially the officers. That a new regiment After being expend for over three hours to a very heavy artillery fire on a dark night, should straggle considerably, and• show an unwillingness to charge batteries before daylight, is something that will not strike any one as very strange. As to the officers, the Colonel, Lietste Colonel and Xajor all had their horse. ~hot under them; the Colonel was mortally wounded by a shell, and the Lieut.-Colonel temporarily injured by a se vere contusion of the leg, produced by the wind age of the ball that killed his horse. I have be fore me a written statement, signed by General Corcoran, and addressed to Lieut.-Colonel Davis, now commanding tee regiment, in which the gallant General says : " I find much pleasure in testifying to the noble exertions of yourself, from the time of your recovery from the contusion, as also the Adjutant of the regiment and some other officer, whose name I have not. learned, but whom I believe to be the Major. By your exertions the regiment was re formed in rear of the Sixty ninth New York National Guard, and apparent confidence restored, and during the day tberegi. ment marched in its place in column; and I think could have been depended upon." The remark ascribed to a Sergeant, I am in formed is an entire mistake. • . . . I trust you sill give thin s place in your col. nmna a 9 an act of simple justice to the regiment and its gallant officers. Very respectfully, &d, S. E. ANCONA, M. C., of Penna. LETTER FROM AD.TIITANT KIEFER. TO the Editor of the Ledger: But: We learn that all the Philadelphia pa pers have copied certain charges, made by letter writers in the New York Tribune and Times, against thel67th - Regiment Pennsyliania militia, in regard to the late engagement near here, and in which the officers of the regiment are said not to have done their duty. A sufficient answer to this should be the fact that all the field officers' horses were shot under them, and the Colonel very severely wounded by a shell, all of which the anonymous letter writers studiously avoid men• tinning. But the injustice and. malice of the whole charge, made by an individual who dare not name himself, appears from the following testimony of General Corcoran himself. In a note signed by him, and addressed to Lieuten ant Colonel Davie, he says: "I find much plea- sure in testifying to the noble exertions of your self, from your recovery from the contusion, as also the adjutant of the regiment, and some other officer, whose name I did not learn, but whom I believe to be the major. By your exertions the regiment wits reformed, in rear of the 09th New Yerk N. G., and apparent confidence restored; and, during the day, the regiment marched in its place, in column, and I think could be de pended upon." In regard to the regiment, it got into some temporary confusion, when all our horses were shot sod the colonel badly wounded, which, on the highest militate authority here, was not strange with new troops, on a dark night, and under a heavy Ara i. am, sir, respectfully, your obedient servant, ADOLF KIEFER, Adjt. 16711 Regt. Penna. Militia. LETTER FROM HARRISBURG. Gov. Curtin's liffssage—lie 4 a Candi date for Re-election—The Democratic Convesstion—Hon. Hiester Clymer. .ffitasienuaa, Feb. 13, 1863. It has occurred to me that a few lines about the course of polities] events at the State Capitol would not be uninteresting to the readers of the York Gazette, as York county has of late years furnished such remarkable Democratic majorities as to entitle her to the appellation of the second Berks. If she continues in the same ratio even " Old Berke " will have to look to her laurels. Governor Curtin favored the Legislature with a special message yesterday on the subject of il legal and arbitrary arrests, which is a decided come-down from the position heretofore main tabled by the supporters of this ungodly and law-defying r oderel Administration. After giv ing some whining excuses for not staying the bands of Federal emissaries when they dragged citizens innocent of any crime known to the Laws and Constitution front the soil of Pennsylvania, to be incarcera ted in Federal Dungeons, the Governor ventures to reeommend that Congress be memorialized to enact a law for the punish ment of offences of a treasonable nature not 4imounting to high treason, and to grant. such persons the privilege of a fair trial. Even the semblance of a fair trial under the most scanda loos alien and sedition law that this trebly inns. mous Congress could enact, would be better than that the liberty and life of citizens of Pennsyl vania should be at the mercy of the President and Secretary of War—but it would be a poor substitute for the inalienable rights to which every citizen is entitled. The existing laws are sufficient to punish treason, and every shade of treason, and no attempt has been made to enforce them, because treason does not exist in tho yanks of the Democratic party, and the exercise of ar bitrary power is the shortest way for the Admin. istration to glut their vengeance upon men whom the law holds guiltless. GovernorCurtiu's one,sage is a bid for popular seppnrt. lie is a candidate for reelection He dare not denounce the proceedings of the Admin istration and he is afraid to endorse them. Ile is laboring to build up a party that shall enable him to hold on fur another three years—and hence this attempt to compromise between arbi trary power and popular rights. But he will find that the people will not permit him to barter away their liberties. by any such compromise. The next Governor of Pennsylvania toast be a man who holds fast to the reserved rights of the States, and who will maintain at any cost the rights and liberties of individual citizen's. All eyes are now fixe . d upon the Democratic Convention which meets in this place on the 17th of June- neat. Nothing can prevent the over whelming triumph of the Democracy—nothing but the selection of a candidate whose record is so bad that honest people cannot support him. We have had enough of inefficient and traitorous Democrats, and now want a man who we are sure will do his wbo:e duty. In this crisis mere personal preferences must give way to the public good. We cannot afford experiment. We must be perfectly certain of our man. It is not my pur. pose to review the claims of the several candi dates, but with your permission will refer to one who combines every qualification, and whose nomination grows daily more and more probably'. —that man is Hon. HIESTER Curmint, Seriattir from Berks. Mr. Clymer represents a county which can lay greater claims to furnishing a Democratic Governor to Pennsylvania than any County in the State. He is an able speaker, an honest man, a true Democrat and a courageous patriot, thoroughly imbued with those principles of constitutional freedom so ruthlessly assailed by the Federal Administration. His record is untarnished by a single stain—his character without a blot. No Man dare lay aught to his charge unbecoming an honest legislator and a high toned gentleman. In the Senate he is the recognized Democratic leader, and he has uni formly opposed all those measures of legislation that were tainted with fraud and bribery. Mr. Clymer is comparatively a young man, not being, from appearances, more than 40 years old. He has employed none of the arta of the political demagogue to secure the nomination ; but has hosts of devoted friends who admire him for his sterling qualities, and as the Democratic candidate for Governor he would no doubt make the same favorable impression upon the public that be has already done upon all who oome in contact with him. With Mr. Clymer as a candi date we couhinot fail to carry the State by an immense majority—and our victory would not be a barren one. We would then have the satisfac tion of knowing that a pure, courageous, honor able and honest gentleman was destined to oc cupy the Executive chair, and that he would see the rights of the State and of her citizens main• tained at all hazards. There would be no more arbitrary arrests—no Federal emissaries would be permitted to kidnap our citizens -no weak kneed Executive to bow and cringe at the com mands of despots—no usurpations of forbidden powers; but every citizen of Pennsylvania would feel secure in his birthright, knowing 'that the Executive had the will and the courage to enforce the laws. I do not mean any reflection upon other com— petent and honorable gentlemen whose names will be before the Democratic Convention. but only to express the preference of thousands of Democrats in every section of the State. Let Hiester Clymer be nominated, and not only is success certain, but we will be sure of a good Governor and an honest Administration. Peo ple will then refer to the Administration of the present Executive as to a record of shame and humiliation. SIGNAL. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
