'TO M DRICKIRATS Or GREENE
00IIITY,
Having been announced by my
friends as a candids_te for Assembly;
and bowing, after meter& reflection,
detannieed not to be a aaedidate at
tabs time, I desire tc► state to you
Mr reasons kir coming to this con
chains.
The announcement was made
without my seeking or knowledge,
and doubtless; because of dissatisfac
!ion with certaur votes given by oar
present Representative. •
Ulu been an accustomed usage
of the party to return a Representa
tive a second time ; and when &can
didate is before you in opposition to
this usage, it would seem to be right
that either be, or the candidate ac
cording to the usage, should receive
the nomination by a majority of
year vows; and this can only be
certainly the result where but two
candidates ate, in the field ; and as
another i before you, who insists
upon the preference of his claims at
this time, I, for the reasons above
stated, among others, have thought
proper to decline.
In addition,l have no desire to
enter into a heated and vigorous con
test at our approaching Primary
Election. Tam it would seem
would not best subserve the inter
ests of the Forty, or promote its suc
cess; and at the present time its
harmony, success, and general tri
umph, is of more real and substan
tiel advantage to the country than
the promotion of any single
To my many Pemocratic friends,
who have manifested a preference
lo j ir me, I return my sincere thanks;
..1* permit me to say to you, and to
Ihmmoorata, let ne stand ftead
fag, jp car principles, and achieve
kw thews ifignel and glorious tri
umph, and with their success will
-return many blessings which we do
not now enpy.

THE DEMOCRACY OF SPRINGHILL
IN MOTION.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Democracy of Springhill and adjoining
townships was hekl at New Freeport on
Saturday, ApniJ 4 24t1i. The meeting was
organized by calling JAMES Rvantxx, Esq.
to the Chair, nod appointing Win. Fox,
Esq., Wm. Garrison, Isaac. Kinney, John
Morford, Harvey Hamilton and Joseph
Kuhn, Vice Presidents, and N. H. Debolt
and Wm. White, Secretaries'.
Col. R. W. Jowss, being present. was
called, took the stand and delivered an ar
gumentative, interesting and eloquent
speech, which was attentively listened to.
DANIEL . DONLEY, En., also made a brief
and telling speech.
The following Resolutions were then cof
fered to the consideration of the meeting
and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That as our institutions are
assailed by an armed rebellion on one side,
which is being met by the sword, and on
the other by unconstitutional acts of Con
gress and startling usurpations of power
by the Executive, which we have seen by,
experiment, can be corrected by the ballot
box, policy as well tie principle requires
that we shall await the process of reform,
whici► is slow but sure, and retrain from
all unlawful and unconstitutional acts,
which have already brought terrible ca
lamities upon the country, whilst we in
voke the aid,of all patriotic men to assist
in averting the evils that threaten our in
stitutions.
2. That we declare that this State has
ever been, is now, and will remain in fu
ture, devotedly true to the Constitution of
the United States, and to the Federal Gov
ernment establiehed by it., and ig determ
ined to maintain them, with all her power,
against domestic and foreign foes.
3. That we recognize a manifest differ
ence between the Administration of the
Government and the Government itself.—
The one is transitory, limited in duration
to that period of time for which the offi
cers, elected by the people,. are charged
with the conduct of the same; the oth‘r is
permanent, intended by its founders to en
dure forever.
4. That we, in the exercise of our right
to differ with the Federal Executive, enter
our solemli protest against the Proclama
tion of the President of the United States,
dated the first day of January, one thou
sand eight hundred and sixty-three, 11
whic6 he assumes to emancipate slaves in
certain States, holding the same to be un
wise, unconstitutional, and void.
5. That we declare that the power,
which has recently been assumed by the
President of the United States, "whereby,
under the guise of military necessity, he
has proclaimed, and extended martial law
over States where war did not exist, and
has suspended the writ of habeas corpus. is
unwarranted by the Constitution, and its
tendency is to subordidate civil to military
authority, and to subvert our system of
free Government.
G. That we declare ow . determined op
position to a system of emancipation by
the States upon compensation to be made
out of the Treasury of the United States,
as burdensome upon the people, unjust in
its very nature, and wholly without war
rant of the Constitution.
7. That we deem it proper further to 'de
clare that we, together with all the truly
loyal people of the State, would hail, with
pleasure and delight, any manifestation of
a desire on the part of the seceded States
to return to their allegiance to the Govern
ment of the Union, and would in such
event, conlially and earnestly co-operate
with them in the restoration of peace, and
the procurement of such . proper guaran
tees as would give security to all their in
terests and rights.
8. That remey!vanis will adhere to the
Constitution and the Union as the best, it
may he the, last, hope of popular freedom,
and for all wrongs which may have been
committed, or evils which may exist, will
seek redress under the Constitution, and
within the Union, by the peaceful but
powerful agency of the suffrage of a free
people.
9. That we hail, with the pleasure and
hope, the manifestations of conservative
sentiment among the people of the North
ern States in their late elections, and re
gard the same as the same as the earnest
of a good purpose upon their part to co
operate with all other loyal citizens in giv
ing security to the rights of every section,
and maintaining the Union and the Con
stitution as they were ordained by the
founders .of the Republic.
10. That in our judgment, whenever it
becomes practicable to obtain a Conven
tion of all or three-fourths of the States,
such body should be convened, for the pur
sue') amendments to the
poQe of proposing
Federal Constitution, as experience has
proved to be necessary, to maintain the
ins..rument in the spirit and meaning in
tended by its founders, and to provide
against futttre convulsions and ware.
11. That while we condemn and de
nounce the faults of the Administration
and the encroachments of the Abolition
ists, we do also most thoroughly condemn
and denounce the heresy of secession as
unwarranted by the Constitution, and de
structive alike of tue security and perpetu
ity' of the Government , and of the peace
and liberty of the people, and we do. here
by most solemnly declare that the people
of this State are unalterably oppos e d to
any dirieion of the Union, and will per
sistently exert their whole influence and
power under the Constitution to Maintain
and defend it.
12. That the laws .of this State must be
maintained and enforced, cod that it is the
duty of the• oonstituted authorities of the
State to see that, by all constitntiptial
means, this end shall be obtained.
13. That the soldiers composing odr
armies merit the warmest thanks of the
nation. Their country called, and nobly
did they respond. Living, they shall
Itnotv a natienesgatitude; wasts4ed, a 'na
tion's care; and dyiwg, they shall live in
onr memories, and monuments shall be
raised to teabb posterity to honor the pa
triots and hoes who offered up their lives
on their country's altar. Their widows
and orphans shall be adopted by the na
tion. to be watched over and cared for as
objects truly worthy a nation's guardian
ship.
The meeting adjourned, with three rous
ing cheers for "the Union as it was under
the Constitution as it is."

DEATH OF LIEUT. A. W. BARCLAY.
On Tuesday last an officer arrived here
ha l ting in charge the remains of Lieut.
A. W. Bareiay, who died suddenly at
Winchester, Va., on Sunday evening last,
of disease of the brain,
Mr. Barclay was well known through
out the County, and his numerous friends
will receive the annotuiceauent of his death
with deep regret.
In his profession he was justly distin
guished as a lawyer of marked ability, and
the employment of his rare talents at the
bar wonld have insured success. He has
been in the military service in Virginia
t4e past year, and was a 'nave soldier
and an efficient and popular officer.—
Genius.
Increase of Rats.
The Farmers'• Gazette (English)
asserts and proves by figures that
one pair of rate will have a progeny
and descendants amounting to no
less than 651.050 in three years
Now, unless this immense family can
be kept down, they would then con
sume more food than would sustain
65,000 human beings. It will be far
wiser in the farmer to turn his at
tention to the destruction of rats
than of small birds.
(Certainly it will. Whoever en
gages in shooting small birds is a
cruel man, whoever aids in exter
minating rats is a benefactor. We
should like some of our correspon
dents to give us the benefit of their
experience in successfully driving
out these pests. We need some
thing besides dogs, cats, and traps
for this business.--Eds. Scientific
American.)
We can give our experience in a
very few words " COSTAR'S" Rat
Exterminator is the simplest, safest,
cheapest, and surest remedy; the
most perfect RAT-ifieation meeting
we have ever attended. Every rat
that can get it, properly prepared ac
e rding to directions, will eat it,
and every one that eats it will die,
generally at some place as distant as
possible from where the medicine was
taken.—Lake Shore (Mich.) Mirror.

i METAL-TIPPED SHOES.—Shoes are
an important item in the expense of
clothing children, as . every permit
will understand. They invariably
, wear out their shoes at the toe first,
and not unfrequently before the oth
er parts are quarter worn. Children's
shoes with Metal tips never wear out
at the toe, and it is safe to say that
on an average one pair with them
will more than out-wear three pairs
without them. We believe all the
shoe dealers keep them:
Copperheads
The Hancock, (0.,) Courier says
is rumored that Mr. Lincoln will soon
issue a proclamation calling in all the old
copper cents, upon the ground that they
are used to give `•aid and comfort to the
enemy" by being used by Democrats for
copperhead breast-pins. The Secretary
of. the Treasury has under consideration
the propriety of altering the design upon
the nickel cents--erasing the Indian and
putting in its stead the bust of a "tree
American of African descent," as being
, more distinctive of the object and policy
of the Administration,"

Ex-President Pieroe and the War.
Col. Forney, in a letter from New
York, to th.e Press, says : •Who do
you think I met last night? Frank
lin Pierce, neither more nor less.—
And looking like a bridegroom—fat,
friendly, (pardon me, General,) fifty
four. We spoke no politics, for we
differ much, I an sorry to fpel, on
these troubles; but 1 soon saw that
we did not differ on one point, viz:
That there was to be no separation of
this Republic."
MOW They Live In New York.
The New York Sun says that there
is "In that city 12,347 tenement
houses, containing a total population
of 401,376 persons—an average of
about 33/ to each house. Of this
number —a good sized town of itself
—22,095 lives in cellars, some of
them scarcely tit for brutes. The
ventilation in about one third of
these houses is bad, and of course so
far injurious to health. In case of
tire, &c., 8,546 houses, containing a
population of 265,902 souls, are pro
vided with good means 'orescape,
while 3,801 houses,with a population
of 125,380, are deficient in this re
spect.
Another Riot.
On the 10th of April there was a
woman's riot at Milledgeville, Ga.—
There were about three hundred wo
men, many of them well clad, "and
some of them elegantly clad," says
the Southern Confederacy's corres
pondents. They pitched into the
dry goods store of Mr. Gans, "a Jew,"
and seized his fine goods. After a
frightful flurry, the , delicase crea
tures were dispersed by an eloquent
appeal from Judge flarris, of the
Supreme Court. The eorrespobd
eut said the women "didn't want
anything but the fine things."

of the army designed for this point
encamping in the woods above the

noise as possible They crossed at
Fal mouth, 30 miles below Fredericks

GRANT'S WHOLE ARMY IN MOTION!
Gen. Bragg Moving on 3gltirfreesboro.
CINCINNATI, May 2.—We have advices
from Milliken's Bend on Sunday evening.
The whtle army was in motion, crossing
the point and taking six days' rations.—
Tents and baggage were left behind. Six
nay barges had run the blockade. The
rebels didn't fire on them. General Oster:
haus occupies Grand Gulf. No obstruc
tions are known to. prevent the passage up
Big Black river. The land force.can eas
ily reach the Vicksburg and Jackson Rail
road bridge, and cut off supplies. The re-
Gels will be compelled to come out of their
stronghold and fight, or retreat or starve.
This is the probable destination of the
army.
Bragg's army is steadily advancing to
wards Murfreesboro, feeling Hosecrans'
lines, and it looks as though they contem
plated an attack.

Achievements of Gen. Banks.
The Washington .Notional
Republi
can of Friday afternoon has semi-of
fit:ial dispatches from Gen. Banks
dated near St. Martinsville, 18th of
April. He did tht following brilliant
things: Marched over thre,. hun
dred miles, beating the rebels in three
battles, dispersing his army, utterly
destroying his navy, capturing the
founderies at Franklin and New
Iberia, and demolishing the salt
works ten miles southwest of the lat
ter place, capturing camp equipage,
several guns, and between one and
two thousand prisoners. He cannot
for some months organize an army or
navy in that part of Louisiana. Our
loss was between six and seven hun
dred. Nothing could exceed the con
duct of our officers and pen. We
have also in our possession his ablest
officers of sea and land.
Successes In Kentucky and Mis
sissippi.
CINCINNATI, May 2.—Gen. Porter cross
ed the Cumberland below Somerset, Ky.,
yesterday, with five thousand men, and
attacked the rebels at Monticello, and
after a severe fight, drove them from the
town.
The Charleston Mercury says the Fed
erals at Grand Lake, c4ptured one thou

three gunboats.
A telegram from Brookville, Ga., to
Hon. John Forsyth, in Mobile, says the
Federals have taken Mayhew, on the Mo
bile & Ohio Railroad, eighteen miles from
Columbus, Mississippi. The movement
threatens the Southern Railroad connec
tion generally. A large force of Federals
was within twelve miles of .Houston,
Miss., on the 19th, designing to destroy
the Mississippi Centr.
General Bragg's o.lllelal Ile-
port.
A correspondent of the Charleston
Courier says that Gen. Bragg's offi
cial report of the battle of Stone
River A:ensure Gen. Hardee for gen
eral mismanagement, and reflects se
verely upon Gen. Breckinridge; in
deed that such is its remarkable
character that, it must necessarily
bring about a Court oflnquiry in the
premises." A letter from General
Bragg's army about this report says
"General Breckinridge is charged
with total incompetency and blam
ed with the the miscarriage of the
battle. General Cheatham with be
ing inebriated on the field in the
presence of the enemy. General
Hardee is censured with slowness
and inaction; General McCown and
command with disobedience of or
ders. General Pelk's name is not
mentioned in the report. Generals
Claibourne and Withers are compli
mented. The highest tribe° of
praise and honor is paid to General
Withers and command, awarding
him the credit of having saved the
day by the courage, discipline and
soldierly bearing of the officers and
men of his division." This corres
pondent says ;—"Oh! Bragg, you
will be dammed for telling the
truth."

Dispatobeo from General Oran!.
Dispatches have been received by
the President from Maj. Gen. Grant
and Adjutant General Thomas, dated
before Vicksburg, April 23d. They
announce, on the evening before,
that six gunboats and twelve barges
passed Vickburg and Warrenton bat
teries, which opened terrifically up
on the vessels. Buildings in Vicks-
burg, prepared for the occasion were
fired to light up the river to enable
the rebel gunners to sipe the boats.—
Over five hundred shot were dis
charged tit the fleet. None of the
barges was hit. Only . one steamer
was injured badly enough to cause
her to be abandoned. She floated 3
mile , below Warrenton, when she
grounded, but all hands on board
were saved. Another steamer was
somewhat injured, but can easily be
repaired. To the credit of the troops
be it said, when some of the crews
of the boats refused to take their
chances in making . the fearful trip,
the former belonging to Illinois reg
iments, volunteered to do the boat
men's work, the crews having been
left behind.
This second splendid success Df
throwing a great land and naval
force below Vicksburg, completely
flanking the rebel position, was ac
complished with the loss of only two
men mortally wounded, and a few
more, not exceeding ten, severely
and slightly wounded. lhe pilots
were made targets of by the sharp
shooters, who lined the shore. The
former to prevent being splintered
in case they were wounded, had
their pilot house removed, and ex
posed themselves to the enemy. Gen.
Grant telegraphs to the President
that he considers their movement in
view of its importance, the terrible
fire to which the boats were exposed
and the slight loss of property and
men, a magnificent success.
Rebel Loss In the Port Hudson
Fight.
The New Or!eans Delta of the 9th
instant publishes the following facts
in reference to the engagement of
Admiral Farragut's fleet with the
batteries at Port Hudson : "We
learn from one of the paroled sea
men of the steamer Mississippi, who
was taken prisoner at Port Hudson,
that our fleet did great damages to
the batteries of that place. He was
not enabled to ascertain the number
of the killed end wounded, but it
was evidently very great. In one
battery alone be learned there were
twenty-five rebels killed. Our fleet
drove the enemy from his guns sev
eral times by the rapid and accurate
firing of grape and canister; and he
learned from an old shipmate, who
had formerly been in the 'navy, that
one of the lower batteries was spiked;
and there is no doubt that the others
would have follciwed its example if
the engagement had lasted much
longer. He says that two of the
rebel officers be saw wore formerly
in our navy, and they complimented
our gunners in the highest terms.—
They could hardly be made to believe
that it was nothing more than a fleet
of ordinary wooden vessels which
were firing upon the batteries. The
rebel gunboat Webb was complete
ly destroyed during the fight." •
Capture of Marmaduke 9 e Ad-
s•aoce Guard.
Su. Louis, April 29.—The Demo
crat's correspondent with Gen. Van
Dever's command, says that about
ten o'clock on Sunday night, a reb
el regiment under Col. Newton, the
advance guard of Marmaduke's army,
which was then retreating from
Cape Girardeau. were surprised three
miles west of Jackson, while cooking
supper, and loitering around the camp
tires. Two small howitzers loaded
withemusket balls were hauled by
band to within thirty yard . and
simultaneously discharged, killing
and wiling a large number. At
the s time the Ist lowa caval
ry charged on them, and not a man
in the entire regiment is supposed
to . have escaped, all who were not
killed or wounded being taken pris
oners. All their horses, guns, camp
equipage and several thousand dol
lars worth of stolen plunder was cap
tured. Early next morning Van
Dver advanced, and soon saw the
main body of the enemy in full re
treat. He immediately followed,
keeping up a constant artillery fire
on their rear. At 2 p. m. McNeil
joined him,
and the combined forces
continued the pursuit. Firing was
heard all the afternoon, and it is
scarcely possible that the rebels can
escape. Marmaduke's command
consists of Missourians, Arkansians
and Texans, and felt Powhattan,
Arkansas, on the 15th instant, os
tensibly for the purpose of occupy
ing Pilot Knob and Cape Girardeau,
as the base of operations for the-pro

The force composed four brigades

[ under Lieut. Col. Haunter, did most
of the fighting in the rebel attack on
Cape Girardeau, an 3 behaved with
great gallantry. They ware posted

The Potomac Army In Motion.
WASEING.ToIf, April 29-1 t was
generally believed on Monday, and
in some quarters positively asserted,
that the army of the Potomac had
commenced marching, and the Na
tional Intelligencer next day openly
proclaimed it as a fact. .The rebels
knew it, however, as a Fredericks
burg correspondent of a Richmond
paper says that his impression is
confirmed that our army is with
drawing from the line of the
Rappahannock. Discharged so!diers,

SINGULAR OHAIN OF CASUALTIES.
The New Haven Palladium nar
rates the following curious chapter
of casualtieq: "We noticed a few
days since the suicide of Mr. Eli
Tyler, of Middlebury, He hung
himself on Wednesday, the 15th,
and shortly after the discovery of
his body, a man named Hayes, a
neighbor, started to inform a broth
er of Mr. Tyler of the fact, his
horse ran off, and he was thrown out,
injuring his head badly, and he is
reported to have since died. Mr.
Silas Tuttle started on horseback to
obtain a doctor to attend Mr. Hayes,
when his horse felt with him, break
inz three of his ribs. During the
same week, Mr. Chester Atwood, of
Watertown, a neighbor of the par
ties above named, while harnessing
his horse, "was kicked by the ani
mal, and had his skull broken in.—
He was injured so severely that he
soon expired." •
Remarkable Murder
A man named James Brook's was
murdered a week or two since at
Burlington county, New Jersey, and
the case, says the Newark Adverti
ser, "promises to be one of the most
remarkable in all the annals of erime,
as his son, his son-in-law and his
wife are implicated in the murder."
According to one account, the wife
met her husband at night on the way
home. While talking with his wife,
the •son stepped behind his father
and knocked him down. The wife
then handed a knife to the son,
with which he cut his father's throat.
Both mother and son dragged the
body to 'a ditch, where they attempt
ed to hide it.

General John Morgan and Ills
Wife.
Our dispatches of yesterday state
that the wife of General Morgan, the
notorious guerrilla, had been taken
prisoner. A correspondent of the
Richmond Enquirer, in a letter from
McMinnville ' gives the following de
scription of Morgan and his young
wife :—John Morgan is not my mod
el for an Adonis, nor his wife alto
gether a Venus di Medici. In strict
ohservauce and good breeding, they
are both fair types of the better class
of men and women in the twin
States from which they relatively
spring. The one tall, florid and full
—an athletic, vigorous person, used
to exposure, hard riding and fatigue,
clear, blonde of hair and beard, anl
eyes of grayish blue ; the other a
comely girl, spirituelle of form, lia
somely graceful as are most young
women of sound health and educa
tion. Misa Reedy was the daughter
of Charles Reedy, of R,eedyville
A lawyer of eminence, a man of tal
ent and for several years, a repre
sentative in Congress. His family
have had all the advantages of
wealth, distinguished position and
careful education. I saw the pres
ent Mrs John Morgan (Miss Mottle
Reedy who was) in the days when
she was the most youthful stay in
quite a hemisphere of beauty. I be
lieve her to be handsomer, now that
her teens have ripened into fullblown
twenty , certainly more appropos to
the sterling manhood of Morgan.—
She loves him very ardently, and I
doubt riot the affair was entirely one
of the affections. They take long
strolls every afternoon. and the evi
denees of attachment while manifest
ed are delicate and dignified on both
sides, or in other words, I am pleas
ed to inform my young married
friends—if such there be—that this
notable couple behave themselves in
very proper style.
DEED,
On the 20th day of April, 1863, at
the Regimental Hospital of Ist Va.
Cavalry, Fairfax Court House, Va.,
iARTIN RILEY, a private of Co., B.
This young man was one of those
quiet and unassuming persons who
gain the affections and confidence of
all their friends by doing their duty
well and promptly; and to say this
of a soldier comprises all that makes
a good one. His constitution had
became somewhat shattered by ex
posure, incident to camp life in the
mountains of West Virginia; but be
was ever found ready and willing to
do his duty when called upon until
within a few weeks, when he had
to give up to disease. He was taken
into the Hospital, where every poll,
Bible care was given him by the Sur
geon, Henry Capehart, who watched
over him as he would over a brother
or son. All honor is due to the
officer and men of Co. B , for m 4.
ing up enough money to have the
body embalmed and sent home to
his friends in Greene bounty, Pa.
