Accounts.
We send out accounts this week to all
•our subscribers who are a year or more in
arrears. We trust all will respond prompt
ly and cheerfully, and enable us to meet
, our obligations for Paper, Labor, &c.,
' , which are very heavy.
Those who have already kindly remem
bered us have our hearty thanks.
Mistakes.
in making out our accounts against
subscribers, we have made any mistakes,
we shall he happy to correct them so soon
as informed of the fact. We have, in some
instances, made out the accounts a few
weeks ahead, in order to make it reach the
middle or end of a volume.
NEGRO EMANCIPATION.
The tone of the fanatical Abolition
prints' and politicians becomes bolder
daily, and affords confirmation of the fact
that their only object in this war is to ex
terminate slavery. Many, if not all of
them, would evidently prefer a final sepa
ration and a Northern Republic to a re
construction of the Union on the old basis,
ap it was founded by Washington, Jeffer
son, Madison, and their compatriots.—
"No union with slaveholders" is their
motto, and the arming and emancipation
of the slaves their programme. If their
mad policy is countenanced and inaugura
ted by the Administration, the country
will be hopelessly dismembered and
"chaos will come again." We await with
anxiety the enunciation of the President's
purpose on this subject. If he is faithful
to his official obligations, all will be well,
and we shall augur an early termination
of the war. If he is not, God only knows
what lies hidden in the future. We
shrink appalled from the contemplation of
a struggle prosecuted in a spirit of reck
less disregard of constitutional limits and
restraints. It would inevitably divide
the people of the North, if it did not make
them violent antagonists of the Govern
ment itself, would hopelessly lose us the
border slave States, and would indefinitely
spread and prolong the war. Our de
pendence, in this exigency, is upon the
firmness and patriotism of the .President,
and we trust we are not leaning on a brittle
reed. Nous verrons.
Our readers will find the Resolutions
offered in Congress on this subject in an
other column. Action must be had on
them, and the sooner the better. Let
there be no dodging,—let us know at once
who are for the Union of our fathers, who
are for confining the President and the
Government to their constitutional sphere,
and who are-against it. In no other way
can the war be successfully terminated,
and the event will prove it, than by ad
hering to the wise policy hitherto pursued
on the subject of slavery.
HINTON ROWAN HELPER
This notorious individual, the author of
thatbAbolition campaign.document known
as the "IMPENDING Calsis"—i. e., the
"Crisis" now upon the country—has re
ceived from the President the lucrative
appointment of Consul to Buenos Ayres.—
We marvel at this selection. Instead of
being thus honored, this fellow should
have been compelled to shoulder a mus
ket, and placed wherever danger is most
imminent in a war which his slanders
We're so instrumental in bringing about.—
Lancaster Intelligeneer.
/Winstead of being elevated to a place
.of profit and dignity, he should have been
"strung up" as an enemy to the peace and
unity of the country. No more dangerous
men in the community than abolition agi
tators of the "Helper" school.
JUDGE GILMOBE.
Hon. S. A. GILMORE, on his late retire

Judicial District, was tendered a compli
mentary supper by the members of the
Washington Bar, " as an evidence of their
reelect and esteem for him as a gentleman,
and as a testimony of their appreciation
of the impartiality and ability with which
he has discharged" his public duties.—
Learned in the law, with an intellect of
great quickness and vigor, and a mercy
whose "quality was not strained," few men
have filled the position with greater 'ac
ceptability to both the Bar and the peo
ple, or with more conspicuous ability.

We ladt,hin important document before
our readers in today's Messenger. As a
State paper, it is one of the weakest we have
ever had from the national Executive,
being, as a cotemporary well remarks, a
"dry, plain, rambling and common-place"
production. It will be seen that the Pres
ident is not, as yet, prepared to adopt the
emancipation and uegro-arming policy of
the Abolition disunionists. How soon he
may be ready to recommend and inaugu
rate it, however, we are left to conjecture.
If he is as feeble at the knees as we fear
lie is, it will not be a great while before lie
will be able to go the whole "nigger fig
ure." A little courage and back-bone, on
the part of the President, at this juncture,
would have put an effectual quietus on the
crazy and mischievous fanatics who seem
bent on the ruin and disintegration of the
country. From our heart, we regret that
Mr. LINCOLN has not spoken out in more
manly and decided tones in their rebuke.
The Message excludes our usual variety
of news matter. Nothing, however, of
special interest has occurred to our arms
during the past week.
WAYNESBURG COMMON SCHOOLS.
Neighbor COOKE of the Republican ad
ministers something of a castigation in his
last paper to the School Directors of our
village, who have sold the school-hofise
belonging to the . District, have failed to
provide a new one, and have left the chil
dren to get instruction where they can and
as they can. As a consequence, the chil
dren of such as are unable to pay tuition
in private schools are wholly without the
advantages intended to be afforded by the
State to all classes of our people by our
liberal system of Common School educa
tion. We do not know who our Directors
are, nor do we care to know ; but we do
know they are not doing their dqty and rich
!ly deserve a weekly lampooning. Blaze
away at them, brother CooKs, "we'll hold
I your bonnet," and help you if you need it.
We respectfully suggest that such of the
Directors as are unwilling to do the "clean
thing" resign at once, and give the people
a chance to get men who will discharge
their duties faithfully and judiciously, and
who will give us a school which will be a
credit to the town and county.
Our townsman, MILTON M. KENT, who
went out as a Lieutenant in the "Greene
County Rangers," has been appointed Ad
jutant of the Sth Regiment of Pennsylva
nia Volunteers. Lieut. KENT is one of the
best drilled officers in the volunteer service,
and we are glad to see his fine, soldierly
qualities properly appreciated. His Regi
ment is in the van of Gen. McCr.ELLAs's
army, and will be found equal to the perils
and responsibilities of its position.
We are glad to learn that our fellow
typo, L. K. EVANS, has been made a Lieu
tenant in the Ringgold Cavalry.
The remains of Sergeant $. S. Hot-Ls-
WORTH, a member of the Ringgold Caval
ry, who died of Typhoid fever at the Hos
pital in Washington city, were brought
home one day last week and interred by
.his friends near Jefferson, in this county.
The deceased was a young man of estima
ble character, and a faithful and gallant
soldier. His loss will be deeply felt and
deplored by his companions in arms.
BOOKS, MAGAZINES, &O.
LEWIS DAY, our village Bookseller,
sends us several copies of the "Pittsburgh
Almanac," a continuation of the old
Loomis Almanac, with calculations by
Sanford C. Hill, Esq. This annual publi
cation is known to almost all our readers,
and is to be found in nearly every house
hold. It is the best Alnaana,c we have
met with for general use. •
Mr. Der's assortment of school and
miscellaneous books, magazines, papers,
&c., is as full as usual, aril (these long
nights,) should be drawn on liberally by
our readers. His prices are very reason
able, and no pains spared to accommodate
his customers. See advertisement in an
other column.
CLOTHING FOR THE MILLION
Our friend and neighbor NATTY CLARK,
has evidently made up his mind that the
good people hereabouts shall not suffer for
Clothing the present Winter, and has ac
cordingly just received a second supply of
warm, elegant and fashionable garments,
which re-fill his shelves and renders his
assortment all that the needy could wish it.
In point of cheapness, his "duds" are hard
to beat, having been bought by an ex
cellent and experienced judge, and bought
for CASH, which always gives the dealer a
great advantage in making his purchases.
Go and look at his selections, if you are at
all skeptical about his cheap buying or his
taste. Our word for it, he knows a good
and handsome "rag" when he sees it.

cording to general report, the Presi
dent's message is not yet finished,
hence it is almost: certain that it will
not be communicated to Congress till
to-morrow.
liouse.—The house was opened at
noon with prayer, by the Rev. Mr.
Stockton. The roll of members was
then called by the Clerk.
One hundred and fourteen mem
bers answered to their names, inclu
ding Messrs. Sargeant and Phelps,
of California, Mr. Hoope, of ,Massa
chusetts, Mr. Wilson, of lowt, Mr.
Bernheisel, delegate from Utah, and
Mr. Crablebaugh, delegate from Ne
vada. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts,
moved that,Mr. Maynard, of Tennes
see, be sworn in as the member from
the Second District of Tennessee.—
Mr. Stevens of Pennsylvania, said
that Mr. Maynard may have been
properly elected, but we all know
the fact that Tennessee was, so far
as it could be, out of the Union, and
as there were several other cases, he
thought that the subject brought for
ward by Mr. Dawes should be refer
red to the Committee on elections.
Mr. Dawes thought this was an ex
ception to the rule, as Mr. Maynard
was regularly elected by a large ma
jority at the August election, and be
fore Tennessee had taken any steps
to get out of the Union. lie also
possessed the proper certificates,
which qualified him as a member.
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., asked the di
rect question, whether Mr. Maynard
was elected before the State attempt
ed to secede, and at the time fixed by
law.
Mr. Dawes replied that he was so
informed, i and that his election took
1 1 place under the law which had exist
ed for a long time.
Mr. Stevens then withdrew his mo
tion, and Mr. Maynard was accord
ingly sworn hi as a member of Con
gress from Tennessee.
On motion of Mr. Fenton, of New
York, a resolution was adopted ap
pointing a committee to join such as
may be appointed by the Senate to
wait on the President and inform him
that a quorum of both Houses were
assembled and ready to proceed to
business.
Mr. Hickman, of Pa., presented
the certificate of Provisional Govern
ment of North Carolina, dated at
Hatteras, certifying to the certificate
of Mr. Foster, as a member of Con
gress from that State.
Mr. Vallandigham raised a question
of order.
The claim of Mr. Foster was refer
red at the extra session to the corn
mittee on.elections, without favorable
action.
Mr. Hickman replied that this was
a new question, different from that
of the tOrmer election.
The Speaker overruled the point
of order taken by Mi:. Vallandig
..
ham.
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., said no harm
would be done by referring the cer
tificate, and, on his motion, the case
was referred to the Committe of Elee-
IBM
Mr. Watts, delegate from New
Mexico, was sworn in.
Mr. Blair, of Virginia, the succes
sor of Mr. Carlile, was also qualified.
Mr. Richardson, of 111., moved that
Mr. Segar, of Va., be also sworn in.
Mr. Dawes desired that this ease
should- be referred, Mr. Richardson
earnestly argued that Mr.Segar should
be sworn in. The House should not
deny to the people of Accomac and
Northampton counties a proper rept
resentation, especially as they had
laid down their arms which they had
taken up against the Federal Gov
ernment, and. all the forms of law had
been complied with under the procla
mation of the provisional Government
of Virginia.
Mr. Kellogg, of 111., argued that
Mr. Seo-ir should be admitted in
-
ac
c with the principles already
settled at the extra session.
Mr. Dawes desired to do nothing
disrespectful by wishing the question
deferred. He wanted the House to
consider the subject in all its bear
ings. It should be ascertained wheth
er this gentleman was elected by ten,
twenty or one thousand votes in a
district where ten thousand may be
cast. He wanted a rule that they
could stand by in the future. The
subject was then referred to the
Committee on Elections.
Mr. Dunn, of Md., moved to lay
the resolution on the table, but the
motion was disagreed to; yeas 56
against, 70.
On motion of Mr. Stevens, of Pa.,
the further consideration of the reso
lution was postponed until to-mor
row week, in order that it may be
discussed, and amendments submit
ted. lie was in favor of the proposi,
tion, but desired modification.
Mr. Campbell of Pa., gave notice
that he'would call up the following
resolution next Tuesday week :
Resolved, That on legislating to
meet the exigencies of the present
rebellion, Congress should confiscate
the property, slaves included, of all
rebels, and protect the property and
rights, under the Constitution• and
laws, of all loyal citizens.
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, sub
mitted the following for future con
sideration:
Whereas, Slavery has caused the
present rebellion in the United States,
and
Wherea There can be no solid
and perinalltnt peace and union in
this republic so long as that institu
Con exists within it. And
Whereas, Slaves are now used by
the rebels as an essential, means of
supporting and pro . ;raeting the war.

faith of the nation to make full and ,
fair compensation to allloyal citizens

they may sustain by the virtue of the
resolution.

joint committee, reported that they
had "waited on the President and that
he desired them to state that he would
send his message to the Rouse to
morrow at 12 o'clock.
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., gave notice of

peal certain laws creating ports of

M. McPherson. of Pa., offered a
resolution, which lies over, setting
forth the want of a more complete
railroad, and instructing the com
mittee on military affairs to inquire
into the expediency of constructing
an air line railroad from Gettysburg
to Harrisburg, Pa.
Mr. Roscoe A. Conklin submitted
the following, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the Secretary of War
be requested, if not incompatible
with the public interest, to report to
this House any, if any, winit measures
have been taken to ascertain who is
responsible for the disastrous move
ment of our troops at Ball's Bluffs.
Mr. Odell, of New York, submitted
the following, which was adopted :
Whereas, Col. Alfred M. Wood, of
the 14th regiment New York State
militia, who was wounded and taken
prisoner at the battle of Bull Run,
has now by the rebel authorities
been ordered to confinement in a
felon's prison, and by the same or
der, to be treated as prisoners con
victed of infamous crimes. There
fore.
Resolved, That the President of
the United States be respectfully re
quested to order John Slidell to the
same character of prison, and to the
same threatment until Col. Wood
shall be treated as the United States
have used all prisoners taken in
battle.

stitution, which was framed by a
convention of delegates, which was

The Senate concurred in the reso
lution of the House for the appoint
ment of a joint committee io wait on
the President. Messrs. Hale, Trum
bull and Latham were appointed as
the committes.
Mr. Trumbull, of 111., gave notice,
that he would introduce, to-morrow
a bill to confiscate the property of
rebels against the authority of the
United States Government, and give
freedom to persons held to labor in
the slave State.
Mr. Wilkinson. of Minnesota, gave
notice of his intention to introduce a
bill to abolish the distinction at pres
ent exesting between the 'regular
and volunteer forces of the - United

Adjourned.
Conclusion of the Pickens Affairs.
Southern papers to the 27th con
tain scattered accounts of the Pick
ens affair. The bombardment com
menced on the 21st, and continued,
with occasional intermissions, night
and day, until the 24th, when Col.
Brown ceased firing. The rebels did
not respond until after the fire had
commenced. The fire of the fort,
and outside of Santa Rosa Island bat
teries, was directed against Fort Bar
rancas and other rebel batteries, the
rebel steamers, Time and Neland, and
the Navy Yard, while the Federal
vessels engaged Fort Mcßea. The
rebels admit sixteen killed and wound
ed. Considerable damage was done
to Meßea, including the caving in of
the powder magazine, and partial de
struction of the Navy Yard, Warring
ton, and a rebel train hauling provis
ion to the rebel army. The rebels
seemed to act strictly on the defens
ive. The stories about the disabling
of the Colorado and Niagara appear to
be unfounded. The Time and Neeland
wore somewhat damaged, but got out
of reach of Brown's fire. Brown re
ceived no reinforcements.
COLON EL KERRIGAN-It is reported
that Colonel Kerrigan, late of the
New York Twenty-Fifth regiment,
has been tried by court-martial, for
treason, and sentenced to be shot,
and that his.death warrant has been
signed 'By die' President. Kerrigan
is a member of Congreitt from New.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY.-A terrible
tragedy occurred at Wilksbarre, a
short time since. Five young men
named, respectively, Frank Smith,
Arthur Hamilton, Holland Hillman,
Edward Smith and John II Doak,
some of whom had been intimate
associates for years, were in a store
reading or rehearsing one of Shak
speare's plays, when, coining to a
soldier's scene, each picked up an in
strument with which to make a
charge. One had an old sabre, ano
ther a gun barrel, and a gun stand
ing near, young Smith grasped it,
and pointing it towards Doak, not
knowing it was loaded, discharged a
load of duck shot into the neck of
the latter, who fell and died almost
instantly.

we are aware of the inability of all earthly
considerations to allay the grief which the
ties of nature prompt, we still trust that
this expression of our high appreciation
