’ ’ -.1 i r*. A Political Goner: )i fnimvhe New Tort Evening 1 Ist, Jan. 14. Little by little, a piece here a ini a piece there, tbs volnmiuous report of Genial McClellan is finding its way into the newspapers. There is not yet sufficient before the public to make a connected account of his plans-aod operations -, but from the parts printed herS i>nd in western journal*, from which some -extracts may be found on another page, we gather two points. It is clear that from the moment 1 he was placed, in command of the Army of lb* Potomac, he be a military officer, became a politician ; and, secondly, v fnin! the month of Oetober, 1801, to the I 'last days ot bis command, Ke was continually assuring tho President, -the Secretary of War, and other pin authority, of the purity of his intentionrj (Jie total lack of personal ambition in bis character, the great ness ef his personal sacrifices-‘pud the exalted • nature of his patriotism. Tbit freqhent repeti tion of these assurances, bec£>ses disgusting to readers of a manly temper. -Wo never saw an honest ’roan so nervous about Igs character ; we never heard an honorable ma'--protest so much .about his honor. For instance; in October, 1861, he wrote to the Secretary of War: “The unity of this nation,'the preservation of our institutions,, are so to me, that I -have.willingly sacrificed my private buppiness with the single object of doir.,; my duty to my .country. When the task isfaccomplished, I .ahail bo filad to return to tfe obscurity from ■ which events have drawn me;' Whatever the deterrainajion vof the Gov ernment may be, I will do tht best I can. with the Army of the Potomac, and. will share its fate, whatever may be the task imposed upon me.” And, skipping over the intervening period, on July 7th. 1562, he wrote ’from Harrison’s-* Handing to ifie President, lecturing him on po litical questions, and closed wilt this sentence : " I may be on the, brink of e ernity, and as- I hope for forgiveness from I have written this letter with sincerity toward you and from love for my, country.” -rj Now, there ia a lack of tpanlincss in this constant feeble wail aboutygoud intentions, which is disgusting. It is language of a • sneak ; of a man consciously; weak, and anx ious to appear better' than he is; of.a mean spirited and thoroughly selfish person. When io writes, “ I have-.willingly Sacrificed my pri vate happiness- with the single object of doing my duty to my,.country,” hi-forgets entirely that half a million, at .least, i f his fellow citi ss.-ns had done the same thing; and that the ma jority of them' hud made tits. sacrifice under harder cumlitions than ho. ho talks of being “glad to return to thg obscurity from which events have drawn me,” be binijply twad-. dies; and timtat-a moment when far more im portant considerations than his own future ought to have occupied his tbo jghts. When he writes Jo the President, seven days’ battles before Richmond, ,1' f may be on the brink of eternity,” the ’proijit'oility ia that he already had in his mind the-prospect of a safe retreat to the.* decks of the'.transport Canoni cus ; and the phrase which w? have quoted, in stead of moving us to tears, stirs only derisive laughter, and a suspicion tKif the writer’s first experience under the fire of, llie enemy had left unpleasant recollections. . sfhe passages we -have quoted, and others for 'which we have not now space, aro in the tone tfid manner, and al most in the very words, oR that distinguished model of moral propriety, ,the late lamented PeekskifF. Nor is this tone changed"’ in those frequent passages of his correspon r THE AGITATOR. M. 11. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. WELLSBOROOGH, PENN’At WEDNESDAY, : : : FEBRUARY 3. 18C4. FORWARD I Thedanger increases, rather than diminish es, and nations approach the crisis of their fate. It increases" by reason of the dis position to take that for granted, or performed, which the last moment’s action roust socure-- and which it can only secure or perform, Tho autumn of 1863 was a harvest-time of victories. From the far east to tho far west, and throughout tht length and' breadth of the land, the tidings of victories at the polls, and victories in the field, came so crowding upon each other that loyal men and women were re duced to an almost breathlessness of, condition. The might of Truth seemed to overwhelm error and wrong, an*d beat down tho standards of treason everywhere. We rejoiced and became confident. „We came to regard the mortifica tions of 1862 as delusions. , •- This will not do. • It-will not prepare us for tho experimenium crucis —the test struggle of Right with Wrong; of Truth with Error. It is only the fond and foolish who take the future on trust because of the integrity of the immedate -past. We must go to work with as much will as if last'autumn bad been a season of discom fiture instead of a May-day of victory. Are we ready for the wolrk ? Have we count ed the cost of the. struggle and accumulated energies adequate to its victorious ending ? We have to ask and answer this question for our selves—each for himself. If there be a man so fond and self-confident as to think the. battle won already, we warn him now and.Jiere that the. devil is never defeated. Ilis emissaries are never idle; they never sleep, but plot, and work out their plots while honest men are asleep. Every life that is worth living must be a continual warfare. There is no such thing as a respite from drily. There is no rest for men who would wear 1 tho crown. We must work; hour by hour, minute by minute, sleep ing on our arms. Already the enemies of the Government are on the alert. Their leaders are disposing the ignorant and vicious for the final struggle. In Congress, Fernando Wood is biddiDg'high for the palm of leadership. In the States, the Seymours, the Vallandighams and the Woodwards are secretly at work to undermine the. corner-stone of free Govern ment. Gravitation is a good law of the universe. Hat human affairs cannot obey the law unless human nature first obeys it. If the elections last fall were tbo most momentous the Amer ican people ever participated in, those of 1864, are still more fraught with good or ill to man. Those elections were but preliminary to these before ns. EDXTOBIAI. COEEF.SPO KDEST CE. Washington, January 26. 1864. Within view of the western windows of the capitol, and- not more than three miles distant there is now arising n monument commemo rative of the struggle and triumph of this age. I allude to the “ Freedmen’s Village,” or asylum for the “-contrabands” who from time to time find their way into the Union lines from Maryland and Virginia. This village is being built upon the Arling ton estate, once the property of Maj. Gen. Robert B. Lee, now in command of the rebel forces in front of Washington. There is a kind of poetic justice in the selection of the site of this novel village. It is proper that the estate of the arch-rebel himself should bo ap propriated to their use, benefit, and behoof of the liberated slave. The village is located on a pleasant ridge of land;Overlooking the Potomac flats. It-now contains tenements sufficient to accommodate fifty-six females, a Horae for the aged and in digent, a chapel for worship, a school-house, and various shops. There is also a tailor shop well stocked with sewing machines, where all the tailor work for the community is done. Also s where goods are furnished to the Freedthen at cost prices. The houses are built of wood, square, two stories in height, with a chimney in the center. Each of these buildings is divided in quarters, thus affording accommodation for four families with two rooms for each family—pne above and one below. t Fifty six tenements additional ore now being erected. The' village - now contains upward of 1100 people, of all ages and sexes. The have 600 acres of land under cultivation, 300 acres of which is now laid down to winter wheat, the remaining 300 acres will be planted with spring crops. This work commenced last May. Mr. Nich ols the Superintendent, states that the value of agricultural products secured by the Freedman last sclison reached $12,000. If the season proves favorable this will be doubled, perhaps trebled, the coming season. It will be asked:—How is all this work of building villages for liberated slaves paid for? I will explain. -It is paid for out of a fund raised by, the negroes themselves. It does not cost tbo Government a cent. Every negro in Government employ who receives over 420 per month wages is required to pay $5 per month into this fund. These contributors have al ready swelled tbif fund to upward of $60,000! Out of this FreedmeiFs village oppo site Washington is being built and provided for. The most fastidious negro-hater cannot object to this. This enterprise seems to abow tbat the Gov ernment is solving .the problem of emancipa tion in a quiet way. Add to this another fact, that the Government has already divided its e . -wr- lands in Sodth Carolina into tracts of 320 acres each; and every alternate tract is made subject ..to pre-emption, in tracts of twenty acres, by the blanks. This opens up the road to ultimate independence to the negro. It was h'noble action oh the part oT the Government, and will be hailed with , satisfaction by all friends of human progress. It is not to be expected that these poor crea tures, down trodden for so many bitter years, can be at „onoe. raised to a condition of happi ness and- independence. It is a work of de grees. At present, though quick to learn, the old people are little better than heathen. They are religions in a superstitious way. They speak of their children, ns to numbers, as so many “ headand in regard to age, ns “year lings,” -V two year adds,”, and-so on—-as we at the north speak of cattle and horses., I have heard a mother speak of having “ sis head of children." I'never talk with these people that 1,, do not feel grieved and sorrowful over,the degradation jw Inch has come, to these , simple folk through the system of slavery. Here is a great work thrust'upon us all by the inordinate selfishness of the Slavedcrncy. - It awaits work ;ers.” ", M. H; C. > Washington, January 27, 1864, Here, as elsewhere, there, are several classes of people and two classes of traitors., Of the latter, one class is first; last, and always op posed to coercing' the Sooth’ to lay down the musket and return to its allegiance. This class, which is represented in Congress, re gards'the war as a had policy which ought to be abandoned ; yet admits that roost, if not all the consequences of the war are legitimate and inseparable from its prosecution, - Hfhe other class, which makes up in numbers what it lacks in respectability, is not represen ted in Congress -in any considerable force. I do not now think of one member belonging to the class. It frequents bar-rooms, gin-shops, ■and gambling saloons, and may, be met, indi vidually, in the streets. This class is also op posed to the war, but not ns a policy so much as frommotives of interest. It is largely made up from the hungry, office-pensioned fellows who held sinecures and robbed the Treasury under a long line" of democratic Presidents. Attached to this class are a goodly number of camp-followers, such as were aspirants for place tinder Buchanan, but fell short of their ambitijons, and fellows who hope to see a Cop perhbnd dynasty succeed the term of the pres ent executive^ This class, which so far from paying taxes to support the vast current expenditures, seldom pays its debts, is severe upon the present ad ministration because of the great debt which is accumulating, and the taxation which must ensue. They are profound njathcmaticians but rather poor in You will hear them summing up the millions of interest which must be annually paid, and then appor tioning it to the cities and towns, and counties, throughout-the country. • These clever fellows are great political econ omists. They have outstripped Maltbus, and Wayland, and no longer reckon a man’s liabil ity pecuniarily by his wealth, but-by the num ber of his children. That is to say—these clever fellows, when they apportion taxes for the payment of interest on the public debt, apportion it upon the basis of population, rath er, than upon a basis of real and personal property. Thus, sir town paupers are as sessed by these wondrous economists with' six times as much fax as Mr. Dives, who is worth a million of dollars. This is numerical equal ity, certainly, and the only equality these fel-; lows seem to comprehend. However, I hear nothing of this kind from men of intelligence, wherever found, and of whatever Sst of politics. Men. of all parties are beginning to see thaj it will not do to talk nonsense ti> the masses any longer. The man at the plpefeh tail often proves a match, for the veneered lalwyer who takes up the trade of the demagogue. Tew men fail to see that property is always the basis of taxation when the tax is direct; and when it is indirect, as in the case of tarriff duties on imports, those who buy most of foreign merchandise pay most to sup port the government. Therefore, when any man states that any district will be called upon for any particular sum to pay interest on the public debt, ond lays his estimate on the pop ulation, he advertises himself as an ass of un necessarily long ears, or as a knave with more brass than brains. I suppose the Government has paid ?4,000,- 000, of interest during the past year. Kow will some grumbler inform me how much of this sum be was called upon to pay? I know that I bavo paid my taxes promptly and in full; but I have no data upon which to esti mate how much of this tux was set apart for payment of interest. I only know that lam willing to pay Rouble the amount for the com ing year if that be necessary. And Ido not know of any man of undeniabledoyaky who is not willing to do likewise. One thing is cer tain : No man can be heavily taxed who has no property, and so far as observation goes, the grumbling comes principally from the men who do not pay over ten dollars per year taxes to the General Government. But; these fellows remind me of a Virginian who got angry at one of bis chattels. The chattel was dressed for church in his best. The irate master flogged the clothes from his back, and then, bethinking himself of the ex pense of another suit, had the negro seised up again and flogged for putting him to that ex pense. So, these Coppery fellows, having plunged the Government into a war, now curse the Government because of the expense of the war. M.H.C. Geh.

They had proceeded as far as Tunnel Hill during (benight. Qdn.Claiborne’s Rebel division is said to. bo above Tunnel Hill, on the Dalton road, while the rest of the Rebel’s have, disappeared, and are supposed to have gone to Mobile or East Tennessee. Tho correspondent of The Cincinnati Gazelle, writing from Knoxville on the 20th alt., says-; On Friday last, our cavalry, under Gen. Stur ges, advanced in the direction of Danbridgo, 40 miles from Knoxville, and on Saturday mor ning we drove the enemy's vedettes out of that village. A portion of our infantry, under Gen. Parka, also moved’up, but learning that tho en emy were in full force beyond Danbridge, they fell back to their former position. Op Sun day morning, tfie enemy, seeing tbat.we had drawn back our cavglry as far as possible, made a desperate attack ,on our lines with Hood’s .and Busbrod Johnson’s divisions, led by the Hampton cavalry. Observing the des perate determination of the enemy, Gen. Stiir ges ordered Col. McCook, commanding a divis ion bf Elliott’s cavalry, to charge the enemy. The charge, turned the fortunes of the day, which’ up to this time had : been decidedly against us/ Oar, total loss is about 150. On Sunday, we fell back to Strawberry Plains, six miles from Knoxville. Oh the 19th, Gen. Stur ges fell back to Knoxville, and the same eve ning crossed the Holston River with the view bf intercepting the enemy at Lewisville. Gen. Gordon Granger’s troops were moving in the same direction on the 20th ult., where a battle is pending.

Clay Trumbull, chaplain of the Tenth Connecticut volunteers, was captured— in violation of a flag of truce, by the way—be fore "Fort Wagner last July, made the round of the rebel prisons, and was recently released, He writes : “ All through those portions of the South which I saw or hoard from the mass of able-bodied men were in arms, while many mere boys were in the service, and old men were doing guard duly, fo relieve younger ones to be sent front. Every evidence was given that the South has no reserve, that its whole force is already in the field, and that the rais ing of onr now'levy of 300,000 men will give us so large a preponderance of numbers as to make quick work of the rapidly thinning ariqy of rebellion. „ >. “Every desirable evidence was also giverTlo our prisoners that, With; the military power* of the South once broken and its array once scat tered, its whole strength is gone. Kb ex termination will ha necessary, for the latent Unionism, oven in South Carolina is beyond all that wo had supposed possible. In the Confed erate army there arc thousands who long for the restoration of tho old government for the supremacy of the old flag, and thus to a still greater extent with those not yet gathered in, employees of the ‘ government/ exempts and families of (hose in service. Hospital nurses, guards wherever we were carried, citizens who communicated with in spite of every precaution of authorities, all testified to this, and money was freely given ourlmcn newspapers furnished aginst orders, and sympathy expressed and aid tendered wherever we turned, and this some times by different men, closely associated, who did not suspect each other of such sentiments from their extreme caution under the fearful reign of terror which prevails above them.— Such will hail gladly the day when once more they can serve the government they love, and enjoy again its protection and benefits. May God grant its speedy coming." Important Legal Decision. —A caso was tried in the District Court, of Philadelphia last week, which is of considerable interest to pur chasers of property, inasmuch as it involves the question, who is to pay the stamp cost at tending the transfer. A party had purchased a property for a certain sum of money.. Ths deed to be made out tO|tho purchaser, of course requires an internal revenue stamp, amounting in the present caso to §lBO. The purchaser paid the same, hut afterwards brought suit against the party selling to recover it back, ta king the ground that the seller of the property was bound to furnish a full deed of title, and the affixing of_tbe stamp was necessary to make the title full. Judge Sharswood, in de livering the opinion of the Court, took the ground that the custom everywhere is, for the purchaser of property to pay the expenses of the transfer, and in this case, the stamp duty was hut an item of such expense, and accor dingly gave judgement for the plaintiff. The decision may be considered as settling the much agitated and important question, so constantly coming up iu almost all buisness relations as to, whether the seller or the purchaser is to _pay the stamp duty in transfer of property. The decision will, we presume, hold good also in personal as well as real property, ond in all kinds of personal property. Cotton and Sugar. —Not only has cotton been dethroned at the South, but its younger brother. Sugar has also reoeived.a stunning blow, from which it will never recover. Since the rebell ion commenced, great progress has been made in the raising of sugar from the sorghum plant, and it is estimated that fire million gallons of syrup have been manufactured the past year in two States of the West, from which a large amount of sugar will be produced. The sor ghum can be raised with (jnae and profit in any soil where Indian corn will grow. In Baltimore county the trial of it has been made in many places, and we are happy to hear.from our friends that they have a full supply of syrup, superior to the best molasses, that will last them for the whole year. Every one who has an acre of ground can raise a sufficient supply of this syrup for a small family, and the residue of the plant, after being pressed for the syrup, will be found most nutritious food for all kinds of stock. In the days of the first Bonaparte, France was out off by the English navy from receiving her usual supplies of sugar from her colonies. The Emperor encouraged the cultivation of the beet root for the manufacture of sugar, and it is now the most valuable crop raised in Branca; In 1861,148,006 tonS 1 were ’raised; and in nil Europe, principally in Germany, 200, 000 tons, worth more than §4o,ooo,os).—Bal timore Clipper.
