Ur - We have received au interesting
letter, and some documents, from our
attentive Representative at Harrisburg,
Hon. THOMAS Rosa, which it would af
ford us great pleasure to publish, but for
the crowded state of our colums, at the
time of its reception.
Return of Volunteers.
We inadvertently failed to notice, at the
time, the return of our excellent and highly
esteemed friend, Capt. John A. Gordon, to !
his house and many attached friends, which I
took place some ten days ago. Capt. Gor
don has faithfully served out a term of
three years in the gallant old "Eighty-Fifth"
—Colonel Howell's Regiment—without a
seratch, we believe.
We regret to state that our old fellow-cit
bon, Col. Cook, formerly of the Republican,
of this place, has recently reached his home,
quite broken in health, produced by .his con
finement as a prisoner, in the unwholesome
climate of the South. We shall hope soon
spin to see his good-natured face on our
streets—at present, ho is confined to his
house.
Lieut. Russell, of the 85th, is at home on
a sick furlough, having been wounded at
the battle of Deep Bottom, Va., in August
last. He is slowly recovering, and we hope,
will soon be himself again.
_ Charles Hook, Robert Tucksberry, B. F.
Hagar and James Miller, all recently arrived
at home, having been prisoners for several
months past in the South. They do 11W.

' hope they will.speodily return to vigorous
health
Attention, Tax Collectors !
Under the 7th and Bth sections of the act
of assembly, approved April Sd, 1851, it is
expressly provided that' in case any consta-
Ws shall fail to make settlement within t
months after the date of his warrant, the
Treasurer shall immediately bring an action
-of debt in the name of the commonwealth
upon the bond of such constable, for the
collection of the amount of his delinquency;
with interest at the rate of 12 per cent.
thereon, and in case tne Treasurer shall
neglect to do so, he shall for every offence
pay a fine of fifty dollars.
It will be perceived from the language of
said act, that I have no disci etion in the
promises, and I therefore, hereby notify all
constables who have not settled their dupli
cates for the year 1864, or previous years,
that unless the same be settled on, or before
the Ist day of March next, suits will be
commenced for the collection of all delin
quencies, without respect to persons.

and asked myself one day what was the

ipean civilization ; and after careful
•nd conscientious, and sometimes a

do this conclusion ; that the characteris-
Os feature of European society was, : 1
that there the institutions were all cal
pulated to crush down every effort which
insight interfere with the privileges of
the few, while here every thing was or
ganized to foster the advancement of
'Tory one. American institutions are
such, that they will allow every man to
beeome a man who possesses the t ie.
meats of true manhood; and upon that
result of my consideration, I said to
myself, having children, here should be

PriaciPl%9
Shall ow' Victories open the Way to
The fitting thing of our government to
do, close upon the heels of our successes,
is, to make a generous othr of peace and
amnesty. Whether the amnesty should in
clude all the rebel leaders, as recommended
by General Butler in his speech in this city,
is a point on which opinions may reasonably
differ; bat that a liberal amnesty should be
offered, and that the present is a fitting
time to offer it, is a proposition too evident
for controversy. By the word liberal, we
mean that the amnesty should include all
except the original concoctors and the
cial chief of the rebellion ; and that its terms
should be simply au unreserved submission
1 to the Constitution of the United States.
Very likely, such an offer would be re
jected, with great affectation of disdain, by
the rebel government ; but that circum
stance should not weigh a feather against
a tender of complete amnesty, on the sole
condition of immediate submission to the!
unamended Constitution. The purpose of
the offer should be to detach the southern
people from the rebel government. They
have still much to lose ; the rebel chiefs,
nothing. The tendency of the thick suc-,
cession of disasters the South have recently
suffered is to cause dissatisfaction and bring
the confederate government into odium, as
deceivers of the people and betrayers of
'their interests. We ought to take advan
, tage of this feeling while it is fresh. We
ought to make the most of their gloom and
discouragement before the impression begins
I to wear off, and the people accommodate
themselves to their new situation. This is
the propitious moment for directing their
feelings into a now channel. In a little
while, they will brace themselves against
their ' losses, as they did against the loss of
I New Orleans; as they did against the loss
ot the Mississippi ; both of which were blows
ot which the consequences did not corres
pond to our expectations.
The language of the rebel leaders and
press will still be, that it is necessary to bear
up against reverses bccause everything
I would be lost by submission. An immedi-
I ate offer of amnesty would refute this ar
gument. A proclamation to the misguided
land suffering Slut!' that, if they will desert
their leaders, they shall have the full benefit
of the Constitu ton, as the Constitution
stood when they were seduced and deluded
linto secession, would open between the peo
pie and their leaders a chasm which the hit
ter could never bridge.— World.
Aga The Republican papers falsely charge
the Democracy with opposing a "a vigorous
prosecution of the war." What the Demo
crats oppose is just that n - hich prevents a
vigorous prosecution of the war--that which
has paralyzed all our own efforts, and given
energy and strength to the enemy—that
which has divided the North and united the
South. This is what Democrats oppose,
and what they will ever oppose. And they
are unalterably opposed to the real purpose
and aim to which the war is now directed,
which can result only in ruin to our coun
try. But to the presz-vation of our govern
ment, the maintenance of the Constitution,
and the restoration of the, Union, every
true Democrat is ready to devote himself
and all he has for their preservation.

How to snake Writing Indelible,
A corrrespondent of the Rural New York
er gives the following information which
may prove serviceable to some of our read-
A great many valuable letters and other
writings are written iu pencil. This is par
ticularly the case with the letters our brave
soldiers send home from the army. The
following simple process will make lead pen
cil writing or drawing as indelible as if done
with ink: Lay the writing in a shallow dish
and pour skimmed milk upon it. Any spots
not wet at first may have the milk placed
upon them lightly with a felther. When
the paper is all wet over with the milk take
it up and let the milk drain off, and whip off
with the feather the drops which collect on
the lower edge. Dry it carefully, and it will
be found to be perfectly indelible. It cannot
be removed even with India rubber. It is
an old recipe and a good one.
