adopted by a large majority of the Lmon
party in Congress. The idle clamor of par
tisan editors who persist in asserting that
tho Union party is led by such extreme
men as Thaddcus Stevens and Sumner, can
only mislead the ignorant. Tlio best com
mentary on this'chnrgo is tbo fact that Mr.
Stevens amendment to confer the right of
suffrage on negroes, on!y received thirty
otes.

time has been gradually increasing Iu pros
perity until it now enjoys a circulation,
which, to use its own language, "is second
to no other journal published in the State
west of the commercial metropolis."
fciPTiie Democrat says that Gen. Geary
"endorses Thaddeus Stevens in every thing,
and opposes Johnson in every thing." Now
this is mere assertion. While the Democrat
can show no act of hostility on the part of
Gen. Geary towards President Johnson, al
though he may differ with him on some
points of policy, we can show, by tho re.
cords, that no man in the State has more
violently assailed the character of President
Johnson than Mr. Clymer. "How then,"
we might say, "can true Union men, who
support Johnson, at the same time support
Clymer."
EPDe.vtii op Gen. Scott. A number

habiliments of mourning in respect to tho
memory of this gallant and truly patriotic
soldier, who died at West Point on Tuesday
last. lie was borh ip Petersburg, Va., June
13, 1780, and was therefore almost 80 years
of age. Although a native of the South ho
was true to the Union, and had Mr. Bu

bellion would never havo acquired tho as
cendency which his vacillating policy ena
bled its projectors to accomplish.
3?Gold watches are a scarce article In
this country, if we are going to judge from
the number taxed. Thero are only 7,890
uncli watches taxed from one end of the
Union to tho other. Taxes on watches,
whether state or government, Bhould be
abolished, as not one out of twenty are as
sessed. In some wealthy districts not a
single watch it returned.

Cemetery the dead bodies of soldiers of the

of tho war, when the army was eucamped

has been completed. There were one thou

disinterred and removed. .
CThe practice of many publishers of
newspapers ia sending out, enclosed in their
papers, printed bills, is not only a criminal
offence, but a fraud on the Post Office Do
partment. Tbe government, with great
liberality, allows papers to bo carried in the
mail, withiu the county, free of postage
.lending out matter for others, who havo no
such privilege, is a fraud that no honorable
publisher should sanction. Yet we find a
number of our exchanges cugaged in this
practice.
E3?The Uarrisburg Telegraph states that
Cowan, Doolittle and Clymer had a consul
tation, a day or two ago ; that the two pro.
fessodly Republican Senators urged Clyiritr
to withdraw, assuring him be could not be
elected ; suggested that Judge George Ik
Barrett, of Clearfield, be substituted ; end
giving assurancei that Clymer should have

The following interesting facts and figures
have been collected from the voluminous pa
pers, of the war office. Among the items of
general interest hitherto unknown is the to
tals of the sums of money paid into the
United States Treasury by tho ditferent
States, as commutation money during the
war. According to tho official table, the
crc-nt Statu of Illinois nuid tho least, while
that of Pennsylvania paid the largest sum
the difference being $8,618,400 1 It is diffi
cult to account for the vast difference on
any hypothesis which will apply alike to aH
sections.
Tlic following amounts were puidliy the
people of the different States for coma uta
tion during the war :
Maine
New Hamphire

8,634,300 Iowa 22.500
410,100,MinneoU 816,800
Total $25,.i00,318
The sum was collected by the Provost
Marshal's Bureau at an expense of less than
seven-tenths of one percent., and without
tho loss of a dollar through neglect, acci
dent, fraud or otherwise. It has been dis
posed of as follows :
Disbursed on account of enrollment, draft,
substitutes, &c. 116,970,211
Balancein United States Treasury 0,390,105
Certainly it would be impossible to indite
an epistle without a reference to the
"darkey," so I give herewith souio facts
respecting colored troops.
The recruitment of men of color, by draft
and substitution, was exclusively under tho
control of the Provost Marshal-General's
Bureau but their recruitment as volunteers
was mainly jinder tho "Bureau for Colored
Troops," especially established for that pur
pose. To, present together the cutire results
of theso operations, which however, were
produced in the main by the action of the
Bureau for Colored Troops, the following
extract is made from the report of tho Chief
of that Bureau :
On Hie 15th of July, 1805, thn date on
which the last organization of colored
troops was mustered in, there were in the
service ot tbo United btates 120 regiments
of infantry, 12 of heavy artillery, companies
of light artillery, and seven regiments of
cavalry in all as follows:
Infantry 98,038
Heavy Artillery 15,002
Light Artillery l.SU
Cavalry 7,245
Total 123,156
The foregoing is the largest number of
colored troops in the service at one time
during tho war. The entire number of
troops commissioned and enlisted in this
branch of the service during the war is 180,
017, divided as follows anion? the States:

A Record f Ylolence.
Tht New- Orlean Advocate, edited by the
Rev. Dr. John P. Newman, publishes the
following letter from one of its correspon
dents! ' ' .
Yesterday, May 4, the writer was on
train bound North front Nw -Orleans, ine
tart wi crowded with ministers retu'Ding
fronnbw late General Conference or tbr M.
E. Church Booth. At ooe of tbe stations,
in the alteroooo, .gang of desperadoes came
on l.oard the train. They were drunk,
heavily armed, and were bent opon mischief.
They snpposed the preachers on board were
Yankees, and said they would "clean them
out I'' Tbey drank more whisky, with
which they were well supplied, insultcd-the
ministers, began mutilating the cars by
breaking the window blinds, and swearing
vehemently. The conductor interfered, when
pistols were drawn and two shots fired, but
fortunately no ono was hurt. The cane was
led by an ex-Rebel Colonel. One ot tho
preachers, Mr. Rosser of Virginia, knew the
Colonel, and soon succeeded in convincing
bun that the preachers were not Yankees,
but coot Rebels, Bnd ht menrM, whereupon
tho Colonel and his gang became quieted,
and at the next station lelt tho train. The
telecrnph had announced that a load of
preachers was coming and called for an
extra dinner to be in readiness. These
"roughs" had heard of it, and took them to
be Northern preachers j and, had they been
Yankees, there is no doubt that somo one,
and, perhaps several, would have been killed.
Last Thursday night at Meridian, three
men went to the office of Minor Knox, in
charge cf the Freedmen's Bureau at that
place, broke down the door, and fired two
shots at tho Major,' when ho returned the
fire, and they fled. Tho next day tho Major
received a letter stating that it ho did not
leave the place immediately ho would bo
killed. Tho troops at Meridian have been
mustered out, which explains the assault.
I have just seen a letter from a Union man
at Columbus, Miss., written April 20, and
among other things it contains tho follow
ing: "
"To give n idea of the prevailing feelings
of the people of Columbus toward tho Gov
ernment, 1 will state thnt on tho second dny
after tho departure of the troops, by order
of tho municipal authorities, the Government
barracks, Ittt in charge ot the Agent ot the
Freedmen's Bureau, were torn to the ground,
and on the third day tho teachers of tho
colored schools received a polite note, in
forming them thnt they would cither have
to leave or tnko .ho halter, and that right at
once. It was asserted that no Yankee should
come here to teach negroes. Yesterday, ono
of the most prominent druggists of the city,
and one of the most rank Rebels in the
country, stopped ono of the tenehers in the
street, and cailed him a Abolitionist,
and said he should not come hero to teach
negroes how to read and write.
"The colored people havo determined to
support their teachers, and they now guard
their premises at night. Last night two men
were seen slipping around the school-house,
They were halted by the colored citizens on
guard. The men broke and ran oft, when
they were fired upon by the sentinel. It is
supposed they were attempting to burn tho
school-house. Thero is some excitement
about it to-day.
This is something new for East Mississippi,
and we ore led to ask what docs it mean?
Was their former kindness put on fcr effect?
On last Monday, in Grenada, the Rev. Mr.
Bardwcll, agent of the American Missionary
Association, and Superintendent of tho
Freedmen's schools, ot that Society for this
(Miss.) Department, was brutally assaulted
by an alderman of that city, without any
provocation whatever, choked, and beaten
with a cauc. I have to-day seen Mr. Bard
well, and ho showed mo the wonnds upon
his car and the side of his head where he
was struck with the cane.
Ho ia a man well in years and of feeble
health, and made no effort to defend himself.
1 he law-abiding alderman went and com
plained of himself, and was 'fined $10, and
was then congratulated for tho brave deed !
At 8 o'clock, on the night of the same day
the above occurred, April 30, in Grenada,
Lieut. J. B. Blonding, of the Veterun Reserve
Corps, on duty iu that city in connection
with the Freedmen's Bureau was assassina
ted. He was shot three times, in the head.
the chest and the abdomen. Either wound
would have proved mortal; and yet, with
theso three, he lived until 10 o'clock the
next morning, when he expired, llo was
invited to take an evening walk by a pre
tended friend, who led bun near an old
vacant house, where the assassins were ste
cret.ed, and from wlvich they fired.
Capt. May of the Veteran Reserve Corns
is the Sub-Commissioner of the Freedmen's
Bureau at Grenada. I have just seen a letter
from him, and two letters from Miss. ('. A.
llarwood, ono of tho teachers there. From
them we learn these ficts : Oo Tuesday
morning, while Lieut. Blonding was dying,
a committee waited upon Capt. May, while
he and the teacher were watching and weep
ing at the couch of their expiring friend, and
told him tho teachers must leave tho p'.ace,
and asked him to send them away. He told
the committee that tho teachers were not
Government employees, and that he had no
authority over them and, of course, could
not send them away.
Next came a committee of condolence, de
ploring the sad event of the assassination,
etc., aud while they were yet "condoling," a
third committee of "warning'1 came to Capt.
May that he must leave that if he did not
he would be the next man murdered ! One of
the teachers left, but Miss H., like tbe true
sentinel, remained at her post. In one of
her letters to Mr. Bardwcll, she (Miss C. A.
llarwood) says :
"Just now 1 sco but one or two things to
bo done; cither givo up tbo schools and
abandon the place, or let Carrie Segurcome,
aud she and I will live in that little old
cabin by ourselves, and try to get along
some way. No one will board us. I went
to see Mr. , but ho was fired upon last
night, and says he must leave. His wife
was down town trying to sell off thci furni
ture, and they are going back North. If I
were not here I should certainly havo no
desire to come into such a commuuity, e3pc
ciallynot under these circumstances"; but I
am here have a Hue school under way.
The school house willjje done in a few days,
and I would liko to remain. But I do not
feel like urging any particular course. I
desire to know tchat in duty. I am firmly
ready for whatever seems best, confidently
trusting that whatever may come, neither
life nor death shall be ablo to separate mo
from the love of my Father, (Sweet thought!
how it calms the troubled breast) I thiuk I
shall know how to appreciate, once more, a
