ELSEWIiERE Will be found a very inter
esting biographical sketch of GEE. JAMES
S. NEGLEY, the soldier hem of Allegheny
viunty.
ONE of the President's letter-writing con
fidential friends telegraphs to a western -
Demdcratic journal that Genlral Emonv is
to be removed from command at Washing
ton "not for What he has done, but for What
he aimed to do in actingWl party interest
against the President." -
OUR NE1011110)1 'Cif the Dighteh concludes
a very well , considered article, upon the evi
dent necessity for the Registry law, which
We printed yesterday, with a reference to
the illegal votes which were polled for the
Democratic ticket last October, and very
pertinently remarks as follows:
" Should Judge Sluirswood become satis
fied, from an examination of the evidence'
taken at Philadelphia and Harrisburg, (and
it is his diity to examine it,) that he holds
his high position through the illegal votes
polled for him, and that Judge Williams had
I really a clear majority of the legal vote cast
last fall, we shall expect him to at once re
sign—and, from the high character whichhe
has ever borne for integrity can have no
doubt such will be the course he will pursue.
Nor would it be just for him, or indeed any'
one else, should such be the case, to oppose
the election of Judje Williams next fall to.
an office which he would now fill but for il
legal votes—and to which he is justly en
titled. "
THE INCREASED r LMAJORITY for Gov.
ENGLISH, (Dem.) in Connecticut was due
to the enormous natnralizlition in the cities
and large manufacturing towns. Indeed,
it was only that which has re-elected the
Democratic candidate. = The 'Republican
gains, tho' small in each precinct, were uni
form and generalthroughont the rural dis-
tricts of the State, but have been more than
overbalanced by the natundizations in the
large towns, and by careful but systematic
colonization'of imported roughs from New
York along the lines of railway.. In the
five towns alone of Hartford., New Haven,
Bridgeport, Bristol and Norwalk, the Dem
ocrats gam,;: through the means we have
specified, some 1,025 ih their majorities.
The RepUblican vote is uniformly increased,
but not in the same proportion nor byt?the•
same aids., Gni majority in the Legislature,
largely increased by the action 'of the coun
try districts, ht Ci.infirmatory Of, the •;riew we
have taken.
Wisconsin elects . the Republican
dates op. the Judicial ticket by some 3,000 to
4,000 majority.
• The c'ffarter elections in numerous towns
and cities of Indiana and Ohio, have re
sulted, on the whole, ve4favorably for our
friends.
THE RADICAL papers, including the mil
adelphia Pres.!), Harrisburg'-4ila,te Guard,
and the 14ttaburgh Gazette are copying and
endorsing a complimentary motice of Hick
man, which says:
"He is too valuable a member to be spared
From a public body like our- State Legisla

..--tgate., He is thoroughly honest, cannot be
.belied:or frightened off, - and we' hope his

And this's the man who' on Thursday,

claimed that negroes, were better than for
eigners and should•have the preference to

So far as relates to the GAzETTE, the fore-

be conveyed is that we approve the harsh
things Mr. Hciat.szr was quite recently .re
ported as saying of the Irish. Nothing can
be further fronr the "truth, and our cotem

which we published the telegraphic report
about lir. Hicaluses speech, we dbisented
from the "disparaging remarks it contained

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
Business is reviving generally through
ont the land. Trade, building, travel and
the avenues of transportation are all marked
by a decided increase in activity, and, before
the expiration of the current month, we
confidently expect to record, as prevailing in
all sections of the country, a degre9 of ac
tivity quite up to the Usual standard at the
opening of the Spring:: • The'crowds of un
occupied mechanics and laborers who
thronged the
. - stfeets and public places of .
**betty during the winter, are no longer
seen in the numbers which 'elicited our re-
gret a month or more ago. When our
manufacturing establishments shall be once
more in regular operation, labor of every
kind.will be again fully emploYed, and, we
trust, at fairly remunerative rates.
=
1::=
There has been within, the past year a
large and general shrinkage of values in,
every branch of productive nuMufacture,
as well as in articles of prime necessity for,
the general food_ supply, the only .decided
exception in this respect, resulting from the
partial failure of the wheat Crop of 1867.
Had this great leading staple yielded even
its fair average last year, there Would - now
remain no obstacle in the way of an, equit
able and convenient adjustment of values,
in the receipts and expenditures of the opera
tive classes; :which, should .conform , to' the'
general reduction in all brmiches of trade.
Only four months lutist elapse_ before the
wheat crop OflB6B- 1 -LWhlch promises; from
the larger breadth of ground sown,
and from the unusually favorable char
acter of the winter, to be one of extra
abundarice--7willbe coming on to
the- , market, to supply the millions with
cheaper bread. Long before that, we hope
to see that revival of„,manufacturing
indiis
try which is so essentially needed for the
prosperity and the comfort, of seity like ours.
The exhaustion of the present stocks of
our staple and miscellaneous production - 8,
the stimulus which the proSpect of good
crops, with the removal of the tax as recent
ly enacted b' Congress, will give to con
sumption, the cordial and universal accept
' ance by all classes, both`of employers and
' employed, of producets and of contsumers,
of a diminished standard of vrduation for
everything that is bought and sold, - together
, with the' relief of the commercial and
I political interests of the country from the
I unfavorable influences of the past seven
Iyears, and the restoration of a more perfect
peace, by the successful issue of impeach
merit and reconstruction—all these causes
will at a still e*lie.r, day, begin to operate
most beneficially i in re-establisking and in
creasing our t material prosperity. The year
of a Presidential election has usually been
found to be unfavorable to any great degree
of financial steadiness or general business
activity. We feel justified in the belief that
the present season will prove an exception
to ounpreceding experience in this respect,
'and that; with a quiet and orderly political
canvass, the result of which is already,a fore
gone eonclusion; and *with , the final. adjust-.
mentof these embarrassing questions which
rt 3 now close at band, the country may an
ticipate a very early and melded return to
its former state of healthy and ! vigorous
/ progress in material development.
FRUIT PROSPECTS.
- Some days ago the mercury took a sharp
turn dowliwardsi and haiheld there up -to
this time. So cold has it been as to awaken
seriatis apprehensions . for the fruit crop.
In consequence, we have taken pains to-as
certain, as far as practicable, the judg-
meats of fruit growers of experience and'au
thority Very uniformly they incline to
the opinion that in this region, sofa; the e.
fruit is not damaged much, if any. They
explain that the last autumn was uncommon
ly favorable, warm weather continuing until
late in the season, hilly trilittt :and; hskrd
ening the fruit-bearing - stalks and twigs.
If winter had closed in- early,-, these would
have been immature`and succulent, and ex
ceedingly-liable to perish by freezing dur- .
ing the winter, .or by low temperatureg far
on this spring. This liability does not exist
the present year. The ' stalks and twigs
ripened thoroughly, and consequently have
more than ordinary vitality and power of
resistance to cold in thCin,' -which affords
much larger grounds for hope than would
otherwise exist.
A few days ago, thelndications of abund
ance of fruit were all that could be desired.
Peaches - had indeed, experienced slight in
jury, but pears, apples and all other varieties,
were in as good case as was- ever known.'
What disaster, if , any, resulted from_the
storm yesterday, told, nor'thrinet yet te un
til there have been sOme`days , of , sunshine.
We are glad to know that the fruit-growers
do.not take a sombre view of the situation.
Grapes, which are of superior conseqdence
in this vicinity, are reported to be in no dan
ger as yet. • '
In view of the facts as thus presented,we
shall not set up a lamentation over the pros
pectrve failure of the fruit until more co
gent reasons shall be disclosed ..tbriknow .
appear to eiist:

This gentleman has been brought Dintaid"
as a candidate forVongreis in the' 22d dis
trict;to Succeed Mr. JAMES K. MOORHEAD,'
'Who declines a re-election. It savors of su
pererrogation to tell the, people of Allegheny
county Who he iS;and what claims helms
upon their confidence and- support. Born
at East Liberty. in 1826, he has lived here
all his days, except when absent in the
itary 'service of the country, and has - so
borne himself throughout that none of his
fellow-cifizens are better known, or have
stronger claims either for respect' or promo
tion. . ,
His education was interrupted in the col
legiate course, at his nineteenth year by his
enlistment in-the army destined to serve
against Mexico. His relatives and friends
attempted to dissuade him from going, and
the legal authorities even_ were, appealed to,
on.account of his minority, to nullify his
enlistment; but, with the spirit and decision
that have always characterized him,. he. de
termined to goiin spite of friends and fami
ly. Seeing this, his family deshtted; and, as
a private in the First Pennsylvania, Infan
try, lie • made' :the' campaign'' ftom
Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico. While
sharing in the seige of Ruebla, news
reached his friends that his . health was fail
ing, and they procured his diicharge, but he'
indignantly refused to accept of it, and re
mained on , duty as a Sergeant, to which
rank he had been promoted.
On his return home, after the war, he de
voted himself actively to agriculture, and
passionately to. hoilculture. But, in the
gratificationoffiiii love of beautiful fiowerti
he did not lose, his passion for arms. His
Military order was not cooled by the peace
ful pursuits of vine-yards and gardens ; but
during the thirteen years of calm wlfich fol
lowed the Mexican war, he took great inter
est in militia matters; and among, his last acts
as a Brigadier. General of Pennsylvania mil
itia, he earnestly urged on the Legislature
thethorough rerirganization of that arm in
view of the civil war; which he declared to
be already „threatening the country, and
which led him to rifler to the Governor, De:
camber 1, 1860, - the service of a brigride of
volunteers. Go*. CURTIN did not think the
time had arrived for raising troops, but,
April 18, 1861, he summoned General NEC.-
1 LEY to his aid, and at once commissioned
I him a Brigadier General, in order to secure
his assistance in organizing the immense:
force of volunteers who rendezvoused at
1 Harrisburg.
Ile was commissioned in the three months'
service, and engaged under PAzzansor in
the Northern Virginia campaign, command
ing in,the only engagement of any impor
tance fought by that army. _ •
He re-enlisted a brigade - of three years'
men, and, September 1861, was ordered
with it to Kentucky. He participated in
the march on Nashville, entering that city
in February 1862. Thence, he was ordered
to Columbia, Tennessee, in command of the
district, with orders to protect the rear of
BuELL's army, then marching , on Shiloh,
and also the division of Mizo ram. moving
on Huntsville. This he did with great suc
cess, making several important raids. One
of these was to aid llonoAsz's division then
beseiging Cumberland Gall.. It embraced a
rapid movement on and the bombardment of
Chattanooga. On his way he fell in with
and dispersed ADAMS'S corps of rebel cav
alry. June itli, he bombarded the city for
several hours, demonstrating as if he in
tended to cross the river. To save Chatta
nooga, the enemy abandoned Cumberland
Gap to Mon.a.ta. As soon as that
was done, NEGLEY retired to Columbia
and resumed duty as district commander,
and dispersing guerrillas and rebel cavalry.
While thus holding that point, he suggested
to Gen. BUELL, through Gen. Mizoram.,
the great strategic importance of holding
Lowdon Ridge with the mountain passes
and river-fords, in order to prevent BRAGG
from crossing into Kentucky. The event
justified the importance of this suggestion
by revealing the serious mischief which re
sulted. from its' neglect by his superior
officer. August 31st, 1862, he was ordered
to evacuate Columbia and retire on Nash
ville. This he did deliberately, although
harrassed4nlAs retreat by the forces AA the
enemy. He carried _off large amounts of
grain, cattle and stores, though lie was for
bidden to touch the latter. He employed
the negroes as teamsters, and subsequently
upon the fortifications at Nashville.
The movements of Ramo, whiclmequired ..
sthe abandonment of Columbia,. piso,, de
manded the partial tvac.iirtfion of Nailiville,
and BUELL selected NEGLEY to' garrison The
city' with his own and PALMER'S divi
shins. When the main army marched into
Kentucky after BRAGG, NEGLEY found him
self besieged in , Nashville by Briacsia-
TUDGE, 31ORGAN,' FOREST and ANntitsos.
He kept strict watch, mule important sal
lies, in one of which he surprised ANDER
SON in his camp, routed and dispersed his
force, and came near capturing that officer,
who succeeded in escaping on an engine
that i happened to be at hand. A few days
after-he won marked honor;by his.repulse•
of their combined attack 'on the city. 'At
the battle of Stone River, NEGLEY com
manded a division of the centre corps. On
the first day he fought successfully arid des
perately, during a forenoon which seemed
to be endless, until, by the defeat of the right
wing, his flank was exposed, and he was
compelled to retire to the line of reseiles.
Here he fought for two days more. On the
afternoon of the third day, the battle hay- .
ing been tmnsferred to the left, he made a
counter-charge upon the advancing columns
of the rebels under BRECNINRIDGE, broke
and routedhim, pursuing:therninto their in
trenchments, at a cost to the enemy
_qf.
eighteen hundied kidA am/ wounded men,
This fact, attested by the, rebelrecoids of
the war, shows the enarigenient ' to. have
been one of. the most: desperate and ' eau
guimar7 of all the battles of the rebellion.
For this gallant, service he was promoted to
be a Major-General. , ,
During the campaign of Tullahoma and
Chicluunauga, NEGLEY commanded , the
same division, and took part in the opera
-
_titans at Beach Greie, s the passage of the
- 21 k and Tennessee rivers, and the battles of
Dug Gap and Chickamauga. He command
ed the advance of the center column of
Rossottors's army in crossing Lookout
Mornitain. The three
- columns were widely
separated, fifty miles' intervening between
right wing and center, and thirty between
left - wing and venter. BRAGG concentrated
on the center. llosacws ord 'ed NAG

Marro was concentrating at that ery point,
but the report was discredited by Hon

September 11, encountered the enemy. He
drove him for sometime, but soon found
BRAGG'S' *hole army on Ids **ant . - add'
flanks. NEGLEY was not to be caught, but
succeeded in extricating himself.without the
loss of a wagon. The engagement lasted
all day, and was the first premonition that
P58E0,1061 had of danger. NEOLEY'S dis

On - the second day NEGLEr's division
was not so fortunate. One brigade was

sent to the left, another in the center, and
the third held as a reserve. Later NEGLEY
Was taken from the command of the I
division;and placed in command of a num
ber of batteries; which had been separated
from theirlnfantry supports on a new line
to which was proposed to retire, and
which would cover the retrograde move-,
went. Before this was accomplished, the.
right wing and center of the army broke
and the troops felt back in confusion. The
enemy charged NEGLEY'S guns in great
force, and moving upon the flanks threaten
ed their capture; but NEGLEY carried off
without infantry sup Ports, the full number
of fifty pieces.
Arriving at R,ossVille,he found hiinself,
in theabsenee of TIOSECEANS,,3IcCoos and
Cumin:Dm:, the senior officer in that part
of the field, and immediately set ,at work to
reorganize 'the .forces. This :done; he se
lected a strong position at ,Roseville Gap,
and tried to open communications with
Tnomas, but Could not.' But, soon after,
TIMM, having formed 'a lunction with
NEGLEY, ordered him to post - his men,on a
line selected byhim and eye, the barmy a
warm reception. Brand . attacked the next
day btit was repulsed:after which our army
retired to Chattanooga, and the sage of that
place followed. Soon after NEGLEY was
compelled, through the unfriendly intrigue
of two general officers, who were prompted
both, by military jealousy sand political
enmity, to denianiffrom'ltostenAtts a Court
of Inquiry. The application was granted '
and the Investigation resulted in, his ac
quittal. The official record of the Court ,
states that "General NEGLEY exhibited I
throughout the day (the second of the 1
bat-
tle) and the following night, great activity
and zeal in - the discharge of his duties, and
the Court do not find in the evidence before
them any ground for censure."
In politics General NEGLEY has ever been
a Whig or Republican. Always taking in
telligent and liberal views of mentmd meas
urea, lie has steadily been in the advance in
all great movements of public opinion, and
has never been thrown into eddies by which
so many prominent men have lost the con
fidence reposed in them. Clear-headed,
ready, decided—understanding fully the
great controversy which the American peo
ple are now engaged in settling, and harng
the hesutie3t sympathies for right side—
intimately fantiliar with the special interests
of the Twenty-Second Congressional Dis
trict—identified from birth with its people—
he has peculiar qualifications for fitly repre
senting them well in the House of. Repre
sentatives at Washthgton. He has - served
his country acceptably, nobly, intimes of
danger, and in ways which cost the largest
sacrifice of ease and comfort, and exposed
him td the largest risks of personal harm, if
not of life itself. Doubtless he would feel
it to be an impeachment of his honor to
insist or even insinuate that he made these
sacrifices and incurred these risks with a
view to poittical promotion or other selfish
advantage. But in performing . these duties,
well and noblv, he certainly laid bis fellow
citizens under strong and lasting obligations
to him. When public services cease to chal
lenge respect or to enforce recognition, it is
safe to infer that Patriotism has declined,
and that lower considerations have assumed
the control.
Nor need the claims of GEN. NEGLEY to
the honorable civil distinction now sought
for him by his friends, be rested exclusively
or mainlyi on the ground of military reputa
tion or performancei. In point of natural
capacity, of experience, of training, and all
other equalities properly deemed essential
lb a Representattve, be is at least the 0111
peer of either Of his competitors. He would
fitly serve the district, and the district would
entail honor upon itself by conceding honor
and precedence to one who has on so many
great occasions reflected honor upon it.
Re'member fellow citizens, those dark years
of tbe rebellion, when you felt yonrselves
ably represented in the field by this gallant
soldier, and then say if his friends are asking
too much in his behalf, when they seek to
- make him their-representative and yours in
the Congress of the United States ! The
people of Allegheny county have wall been
animated by an ardent patiolotism, , and an
appeal is now made to them to recognize
and:, distinguish by special favor one'who•
was among the foremost in the defense of
the. nation, and who mane an honorable
