"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted or
com_promised. It knows no baseness; it towers to
so (tenger; it oppresses no weakness. Destructive
only ofdespottsts, it is the sole conservator of lib
erty, labor and property. It is the sentiment of
freedom, of equal rights, of equal obligations--the
law of nature pervading the law of the land."
WAYNESBURG, PA.
Wednesday, Feb. 12, 1862.
Subscribers in the West.
We bare a large number of subscribers
in the West to:whom we sent accounts sever
al months ago, and who have, as yet, given
them no attention. Will those who have
not remitted the amount due us, be good
enough to forward it by mail, at our risk,
without further delay ? We need the
money to meet our obligations, and ought
to have it at once
AGAINST THE UNION.
"Occasional," the Washington city cor-
respondent of Forney's "Press," states in
I" a recent letter that "the desire for peaceful
and prompt separation is undoubtedly sincerely
entertained in certain influential quarters."—
Of the truth of "Occasional's" declaration
we have not the shadow of a doubt. In
deed, our deliberate conviction for months
has been that the leading radical Aboli
tionists in and out of Congress, the Sum
ners, Lovejoys, and others of their ilk,
were at heart against any reconstruction of
the Union on the old basis. Their hostil
ity to slavery is their master-passion and
controlling prejudice, and they would
rather terminate the War than prosecute
it for any other purpose than the hopeless
overthrow of Southern slavery. Their
talk of "kicking out the slave States" and
"letting the Union slide" had a great deal
' of significance long before the country was
precipitated struggle, and is gath
ering additional meaning every day, now
that the war is upon us And they can no
longer conceal their wishes and policy.—
But the people understand them, and are
very properly classing them with the ene
mies of the Republic. No man is in fa
vor of the restoration of the Union as it was
who advocates measures utterly at war
with the rights of the States, wholly out
side the limits of Federal authority, emi
nently fruitful of dissensions at the North,
and full of discouragement to the true and
loyal men who have taken up arms for the
Government in Kentucky and Tennessee,
Missouri and Maryland. Prate as they
may of their devotion to the country,
these anti-slavery zealots are really against
her in this hour of her direst peril ; and
to follow their lead and counsels would be
not only to incur disaster and destroy har
mony of sentiment and action, but to ren
der the re-establishment of order and the
preservation of the Governnfent of our
fathers an utterly vain and bootless under-
taking.
That slavety must suffer, unavoidably,
from this war no reasonable man will
deny ; but let it suffer, not from attempts
to transcend constitutional authority on
the part of the Federal Government, but
from the confiscation ofelaves employed in
the rebel service, and from the general de
moralization of the servile population of
the South, which must result, legitimately
and inevitably, from the war itself.
THE 00UNTY FINANCES-MOE
TUT NOTICE FROM THE TREAS
URER.
The Annual Exhibit of the condition of
the finances of the County, published in our
columns the present month, shows a bal
ance of uncollected taxes for the last and
pipsious years of $16,518 55. If this large
amount were promptly realized, as it should
be, the County Treasury would be relieved
of its embarrassments and the County cred
it placed on its old-time footing. We con
gratulate our readers on the determina
tion of the Auditors to have the outstand
ing taxes immediately collected, and future
levies collected without the extraordinary
and inexcusable delay which has charac
terised the process heretofore. It is cer
tainly a hard case that the Commissioners
should be compelled to borrow money to
liquidate the public indebtedness, and that
needy holders of county orders should be
forced to dispose of them at a large dis
count, when ample means to meet not
only them, but the public obligations gen
erally are in the hands or on the dupli
cates of Collectors.
We direct the special attention of Con
stables, and other parties interested, to the
advertisement of the Treasurer in another
column, announcing his intention to meet
the requirement of the Board of Auditors,
and enforce the law against all delinquent
collectors. This is just as it should be,
and will meet the approval of all right
thinking and reasonable men. Mr. BAR
instructions from the Auditors are
distinct and positive, and vat BE °turn',
and onuar TO BE. Nobody can blame him
for DOING RN DUTY, and no sensible man
will.

0011 E DOWN TO THE RIVER, JENNY.
Come down to the river, Jenny,
Come now for the sun has set ;
There'll be nobody to sse our kissing.
The fishers have left their net,
Wrap your lilly-white mantle around you;
Haste ! for your mother is coming from town;
If she sees us walking together,
You know how darkly she'll frown.
O ! how sweet to have you beside me,
Here under the sycamore trees,
At our feet the rippling water,
Around us the June-scented breeze,
Do you remember a month ago, Jenny,
When first I met you here ?
The crab-apple trees were in blossom,
And the moon was shining clear.
The blushing petals fell in showers,— .
Your cheeks looked redder far to me,
And they stole their perfume from your lips,
For I kissed them, love, to see.
The fire-flies flashing their lamps,
Across the shimmering stream,
I thought were the gleams of your starry eyes ;
Are you sure that I did not dream.?
Your mother derides me, sweetheart,
And laughs because I am poor:
"You would love me always as dearly,
If I begged from door to door."
Look over the river, Jenny—
Do you see that grand atone hall,
That whitens and gleams in the moonlight,
'Yong the elms and poplars tall ?
There are flocks of sheep on the hillside,
And herds in the valley below;
There are acres of corn in the meadow.
And orchards I cannot show.
Will you stay by the river, sweetheart,
With me in the grand white hall?
Your mother, I'm sure, will forgive us,
When she sees my possessions all.
LIEUT. GORDON.
We neglected, last week, to notice the
return home of our excellent friend, Jolts
A. GORDON, of Col. HOWELL'S Regiment.—
The Lieutenant has been detailed on re
cruiting service, and hopes to add not less
than a hundred stalwart lads to the 85th,
and we trust will not be disappointed--
Col. HOWELL is exceedingly popular with
his men, and is one of the most agreeable
arid estimable gentleman in the Volunteer
service. The Regiment is stationed on the
Eastern branch of the Potomac, five miles
from Washington, and will doubtless see
service before the war closes.
&Lien ADAMS, Esq., of this place, has
been appointed, by the Directors, Steward
of the Poor Farm and House of Employ
ment the coming year. We understand
the County is to pay him $365 per annum,
lancet the table expenses of his family, and
furnish him with one hand for the house
and another for the farm. Mr. ADAMS is
a man of strict integrity, and we trust will
make an efficient Superintendent. There
were some 28 applicants for the position,
and any quantity of first-rate material
among them.
We understand that &EITEL HARTZELL,
Esq., well known to most ofour readers as
the gentlemanly and excellent host of the
"Greene House," has rented the above
popular and commodious hotel,' and will
take possession on the let of April next.—
No landlord in the county knows better
how to cater to the taste and administer to
the comforts of guests than friend IIAwrzELL,
and under his supervision we have no
doubt the "Hamilton" will drive a suc
cessful business. The house, we learn, is
to be handsomely refitted.
EXPULSION OF SENATOR BRIGHT,
Senator Bright, of Indiana, has been
expelled from the United States Senate, by
the followed vote, for alleged empathy
with the rebellion :

Mr. Bright has announced his purpose
to go before the people of his State, on the
issue made against him, and test their
opinion of his loyalty by being a candidate
for re-election.
In the U. S. Senate, the. resolution of the
House declaring it to be the purpose of
Congress to impose a war tax of one hund
red and fifty millions of dollars, was passed
by a vote of 39 to 1..
Pennsylvania's share of this tax is es
timated at $20,000,000. If the tax is lev
ied upon the same objects as the present
State tax, the amount to each individual
tax-payer will be about fifteen times as
much as he now pays. This will be the
case not only for a year, but for a consid
erable time to come, with, probably, an
annual increase.
At the recent term of the Bergen county
Court, New Jersey, Judge Elmer, of that
district, delivered a charge in relation to
treason, which was remarkable for its
firm adherence to law, and to the spirit of
liberty. He charged that it is a right,

STEWARD.
HAMILTON HOUSE.
THE WAR TAX.
A BEIBIBLE JUDGE.
RAMON.
The committee appointed by the House
to investigate the fidelity of clerks and
other employees of the Government about
Washington, have come to the conclusion
that at least five hundred persons employ
ed in the Departments are disloyal to the
Government. The report will be severe
upon Mr. Smith, Secretary of the Interior,
showing that Jacob Thompson's old clerk
and his own family and friends draw two
thirds of the salaries in his Department.—
They charge that Mr. Smith and at least
one other Secretary have treated the re
spectful inquiries of a Congressional Com
mittee with contempt, and balked their
efforts to purge the public service of trait
ors. The sympathies of the country will
be with the Committee, for the people
know that the Government has been har
rassed and ruined by spies in Washington.
The report will be finished this week, and
published at an early day.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
The following extract of a speech o f
Pericles, of ancient Grecian renown, on
the detection of Eucoba and Magara, con
tains much truth in a small compass. It
is peculiarly appropriate at the present
time. Ile says: No state can be respected
if fragment after fragment be detached
from it with impunity ; if traitors are per
mitted to delude and discompose the con
tented, and to seduce the ignorant from
their allegiance ; if loyalty is a weakness,
sedition a duty, conspiracy wisdom, and
rebellion heroism.
THE INVESTIGATION OF CORRUP-
TIONS
The committee which is engaged in fer
reting out the actors in the abuses that ex
isted previous to the recent change at the
War Department are appalled at the field
which opens to their view. Combinations
were formed, and systematic arrangements
planned for plundering the Treasury on a
scale of greater magnitude than ever be
fore was brought to light. Some of these
base jobbers were men of influence and
reputation, who traitorously used the con
fidence placed in them to betray and de
spoil the Government. The revelitions
that will be made will startle the public
mind. The names of parties in Philadel
phia and New York are associated with
frauds which, if clearly proved, will entitle
their names to be placed on the roll of in-.
famy.
AUDITOR GENERAL.
We notice by several of our exchanges
that our old editorial friend, W. T. H.
Pauley, of Greene county, is strongly rec
ornmended as the next Democratic candi
date for Auditor General of the State.—
Mr. Pauley will make a first rate candi
date. He is well worthy the position, and
we should be well pleased to see him
placed in nomination.—Washington Exam

A FAT CONTRACT.
"An enormous contract has been ,eatered
into by the Government, with a Mr. Hill,
of the firm of Hughes, Fuller & Co., of
Philadelphia, for furnishing one million of
bushels of corn, at 77 cents per bushel ;
and seven hundred and fifty thousand tons
of hay at $22 50 per ton. The corn con
tract amounts to $770,000; and the hay to
$16,875,000—t0ta1, seventeen millions, six
hundred andforty-five thousand dollars ! 1"
Ohio State Journal."
This Is a fair specimen of the contracts
made.by the Government under the pres
ent profligate administration. Hay can
be bought all over the State of Ohio and
the West at from $8 to $l2 a ton, and in
Pennsylvania at less than $l5. But sup
pose it cost $lB a ton delivered in Phila
delphia, which is a very high estimate,
there would be a net profit to the con
tractor on the item of hay of four millions,
one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars!
Our farmers in this portion of the country
think they are doing very well now when
they can get 20 cents a bushel for their
corn. It can be bought at 10 cents in In
diana and Illinois. This contractor can
buy his million of bushels, and deliver it
in Philadelphia, without costing him
more than 50 cents a bushel. At that
rate, on the item of corn, his net profit
would be two hundred and seventy thous
and dollars—making a clear profit on the
two items of hay and corn, in a single
contract, of four millions, three hundred and
ninety-five thousand dollars.—Ex.
GLORIOUS AND IMPORTANT VICTORY.
Port Henry Captured by Gunboats—Gener
als, Colonels and Privates Made Prison-
era--The M. & 0. Railroad Seized.
Cmato, ILL., February 7.—Fort Henry,
on the Tennessee river, surrendered yes
terday at two o'clock, after a most deter
mined resistance and fight, which lasted
one hour and twenty minutes, conducted
by the gunboats Cincinnati, Essex and St.
Louis.
The Cincinnati fired one hundred and
twenty-five rounds, and received thirty
four shots from the rebel guns. Only one
man was killed.
The St. Louis fired one hundred and ten
shots, and received no damage.
The Essex was disabled at the tenth
round by a ball striking her boiler, by
which thirty-two were killed and scalded
to death. Capt. Porter himself was badly
scalded, but not dangerously.
Two rebel Generals, one Colonel, two
Captains, and one hundred privates, were
taken prisoners.
The fort mounted seventeen guns. The
land force did not reach the scene of ac
tion for two hours after the surrender.—
The Memphis. and Ohio Railroad bridge,
fifteen miles above the fort, has been taken
possession of by our troops.

Resolved, That it is indispensably necessary that the outstanding State

otherwise, so that at the next annual settlement he will ask no credit for

Resolved, That hereafter the County Auditors will require the Treasurer
to collect all the taxes levied during his term, after such exonorations as

N. B.—The •Constables will find, by examining the acts of Assembly, that

after the expiration of their warrants, for which they will be held to a strict
accountability.

MR. EDITOR 1-
I wish, through your columns, on be
half of the sick of the First Pennsylvania
Cavalry, to thank the ladies of the "Sol
diers' Aid Society" of Carmichaels, Greene
County, Pa., for a most acceptable pres
ent,—a large box of well selected clothing
and bedding ; quilts, blankets, socks, pil
lows, shirts, etc. ; and all so good, warm,
strong, substantial and comfortable. And
as they warmed the sick soldier's body,
so did the assurance that they were not
forgotten warm their hearts towards the
dear ones at home, to whose nimble fin
gers and kind and patriotic hearts, they
were indebted for the gift. How it cheers
their drooping spirits, and how, when again
restored to health, will it strengthen Air
arms in the defence of the Government
which protects those dear ones !
Ifuch good can be done, and has al
ready been done, by these Societies. In
the formation of so large an army, in so
short a time, it is impossible for Govern
ment to provide all these comforts.
Below I give a list of the officers of the
Society. Will you please publish and
oblige D. STANTON,
Surgeon, let Pa. Cavalry.
