THE AGITATOR. M. H. COBB, EDITOR AND •PROPRIETOR. WEDNESDAY, : : : FEBRUARY IT, 18G4. A NEW WAY TO SPEND MONET. The worst enemies of the Government will scarcely have the hardihood to attempt an impeachment of its magnami mity. There has been hardly a day of the 1000 days of this war, which the Government has not signalized by some act of magnamimity. The Government most magnanimonsly'called Geo. B. McClellan to command its armies, taking him from a field where be had never been within eye-shot of the smoke of the rebel guns. It most magnanimously and generously placed men and money at his disposal, with which bo constructed a fine army, consisting of upward of 100,000 men. This army he kept within rille-oanndn shot of the city of Washington fur six months, awed and finally cowed, before a force of less than 40,000 rebels and a few batteries of qoakcr guns at Center ville. 'When he was driven forward, finally, he found no 'enemy, just as he wduld'have found none time three months previous had be advanced. But everybody insisted on giving him a chance to retrieve himself. He then chose the Peninsula route to Rich mond. He-set off for that city with 110,000 men. He saw a rebel flag waving over York towfi, and a few rebel pickets between him and the town. He paused a few days to recon noitre. The enemy, surprised at bis delay, took occasion to fortify the approaches against him. After giving the rebels enough time to strengthen the position, McClellan set bis army at work with spade and pick jto trench its way to victory. Heavy siege guns were brought forward, and after most extraordinary achievements of engineering, one fine morning the pickets reported to this king of spades that the enemy had disappeared, and were evidently some hours in advance. After an unaccountable delay of- some hours, the nrmy Was ordered forward in pursuit. A weak division came np with the retiring rebels near Williamsburg, and there fought one of the bloodiest battles, against immense odds, of the war. These heroic men were left unsupported and without 1 ammunition for hours, the King of spades being fifteen miles in the rear. ■ The further progress of the army up the peninsula is too well known to need repetition. The battles of Fair Oaks, and Mechanicsburg were not victories only because this paper..sol dier did not press forward after the field was won. The swamps of the Chickahominy did the'rest. And when Gen. McClellan made big masterly change of base he had frittered away the strength of 50,000 men. U is military career closed at Antietam, where bis forces fought most heroically, and ■won the day only 4p loose the fruits of victory hy the indecision of their chief. Up to this tinle the GovcrnmenJ had given Gen. McClellan as unlimited means and men as it could command. He refused to obey or ders, and was removed. Had it been a Col onel, a major, a captain, or a lieutenant who had disobeyed orders in the faces of the enemy, either would have 'been dishonorably dismissed the service. But the culprit was a Major Gen eral, and he was “ relieved." This was also very magnanimous. But the crowning act of magnanimity re mained to be done. And this crowning act was reserved for the Congress ot the United States. The Copperhead friends and keepers of this paper general wish to elect him to the Presidency nest fall. They therefore asked Congress to publish (Some tens of thousands of copies of bis Report of the campaign in which he led, from his bout with the maple 68 pound ers at Centerville, to his jeremiad' on shoes at Sbarpsburg. These books are intended as campaign documents. It costs something— about 8250,000! or so—but then, the Govern ment ought. to b 6 magnanimous. A quarter of a million of dollars,, more or less, is not much. The interest on that sum, added to the $300,- 000 Tioga Co, paid last year, will not be felt. But we fear that in being magnanimous, the Government has done Gen. McClellan an irre parable injury. • The style and object of his Report, both threaten him with a worse fate !than tho friendship of Fernandy' AVood. In it is grandiose and stilted, and egotistic -above apology or excuse. It is the first instance on record where a military chieftain, in-seport ing to his superiors, informs those superiors what he said, or wrote Ip them, during his campaign, outside of details of military oper ‘ ations. But this is the style of the man. Lacking all the solid qualities which go to create leaders, be comes before bis audience with complaints to cover his plunders. How , unlike the noble Burnside, who, when disaster had followed his impetuous charge up the heights at Fredericksburg, scorned to shirk'the responsibility. A general is clothed with dis cretionary power to some extent. It was so with Gen. McClellan. Yet when acting upon Lis discretion he always failed. He now pleads guilty to the charge of inefficiency in bis eager baste to throw the responsibility for dis asters upon his bettors. “Little John Clem,” aberu of Chiokamanga of whom the gallant Kosecrans made honorable mention, in a public speech atCiucinnatti, has been promoted to a lieutenancy % by General Thomas, and placed on his staff. Nkaelt eight hundred gallant Union men were carried from the Rebel Prisons at Rich mond to their graves during the months of Oc tober, November and December, the most of them slowly murdered by exposure and star vation by our "dear southern brethren." WEttSBOROTJGH, PENN’A: THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. EDITORIAL COBBF.SDONDENCE. Washington, February 9,1^4. There has been a great struggle in this Cap ital within the last ten days, between two burly antagonists known to the world as Moral Sense and Common Decency and Whiskey. Rather, I ought to have written, three strug gles, and a fair show, for a fourth and final set-to. The quarrel came about in this way: The House Committee of Ways and Means in mending and adding to the law for collecting Interna! Revenue, agreed to levy an additional tax of forty cents upon all whiskey in store. The dealers and speculators in whiskey long ago saw that the tax on that necessary of life would be increased daring the present session of Congress. Accordingly, such as could af ford to invest, set to work to purchase all the stock on hand, in anticipation of a great rise in prices, by which they desired to profit. Having got the whiskey in store, they set about getting the tax increased on the article in distillers’ hands, the effect of which would .be to cause the article to appreciate so as to cover the sale of this whiskey in store and in transitu at a price which could but greatly en rich the speculators. 'I The Committee of Ways and Means, getting wind of the facts in the case, immediately blocked the nice little game by putting a tax of forty per cent additional on all whiskey in store and in transitu. The House sent the bill to the Senate with this amendment. Then came another tug, while the bill was in the Finance Committee Room, and; after a short struggle, whiskey triumphed. The bill was reported to the Sonate-j with sundry amend ments, one of them striking out the tax allu ded to. Then came another tug in the Sen ate—on the proposition to recommit the bill to the Committee on Finance, with instructions to restore the expunged decree. The motion was debated at considerable length, and finally re jected by a vote of 14.t0 £9. So the bill has gone back to the House shorn of its tax on stored i whiskey. ■ It will return to the Senate, probably, with the obnoxious feature restored, and then there will bo some sort of a com promise by which, no doubt, the clause will ha modified so as "to tax whiskey on hand some thing less per cent, than originally proposed. There ore, two sides to this matter, as to nearly every other. But I did not discover the other side in the debates on tbs proposition to recommit. With a few notable exceptions, those debates totally ignored the principles in volved, and tended toward favoring Whiskey dealers as if they were a class of philanthro pists. Still there are two sides to the matter. The tax proposed would be; retractive, no doubt, as the whiskey in store has already paid its tax of 20 per cent. Taxation should be prospective, as a rule. But every man who owns a boggy, or a [carriage, pays a tax on its use-; and it A, owning a carriage, and paying the tax, the very next day sells it to 8., the latter would be liable- to pay the tax also. Thus, the carriage would pay two taxes instead of only one. If this be wrong, then to tax whiskey in store may he wrong also. The cases are nearly enough parallel for the argu ment. j M. H. G. WAR NEWS. A correspondent of the Boston Herald, wri ting from Charleston, under date of the Gth, says that all recent attempts to re-enforce the worn-out garrison of Sumter have failed, be cause our guns completely command the whole harbor, and at night calcium lights prevent the approach of the enemy, while every 10 minutes a huge shell is dropped into the ruins. The same correspondent mentions an attempt by a Rebel ram, accompanied by an infernal machine, to proceed down the South Channel for the purpose of destroying ■ two of our ves sels doing guard duty there. Before they got down, the infernal machine, a long, cigar shaped thing, sunk, carrying down eight of her crew. The Rebels have not tried to raise Jjer. Deserters tell strong tales of the desperate con dition of the Rebels, and of the purpose to break the blockade. A portion of Gen. Sherman’s expedition was attacked on the Yazoo on the sth inst. by 3,000 Rebels. After a smart fight the Rebels were routed and driven off. Eight Union men were killed, and 30 wounded ; Rebel lots not known. The occasion was marked by an act of justice worthy of record. A Rebel lieutenant and two privates deliberately murdered a negro soldier, who was sick and had straggled from our lines. Tho rascals were caught, made to kneel on the negro's dead body, and wero satis factorily'shot. The Memphis Build in publishes a card signed by three hundred citizenh of that oity, addressed to the people of Tennessee, upon the subject of the reorganization of the State, and re-establishing relations with the National Government. It recommends immediate and unconditional emancipation ns the best truest, policy, and only alternative, .and calls upon oil to support the same, by meeting atJUemohis on the 22d instant. ‘ r We have a story, not fully authenticated, that over 100 Union officers escaped from Lib by Prison, in Richmond!, last week. Four or five bad been retaken. /Among those said to have escaped are Col. Speight, Col. Tiffin, Col Rogers, and Maj. Henry. Capt. John F.’ Por ter of the 14th New York, who escaped some time ago, has arrived at Washington. A dispatch from Lake City, Florida, dated Feb. 8, published in Richmond on the 9tb, says that “ eighteen vessels, gunboats and trans ports, are reported by. tbe commanding officer at Camp Finnegan as having arrived at Jack sonville. The enemy, presumed to be in large force, have landed, and were last night reported as advancing." t ■ On Friday afternoon and evening Mosby made, several dashes on our pickets near Ma nassas, killing two or three of them, A cav alry force was Beat out in pursuit. ' The Case Stated, Gen. B. Brown, a Democrat, now serving with a brigade in Missouri, recently wrote home to a friend in Ohio a letter dated Jefferson City, Jan. sth, from which the Toledo Blade extracts the following: , - “ Missouri is very quiet. The recruiting of negro soldiers has had a good effect. All par ties sustain it.—Slaveholders, Conservatives and Radicals see no other way but to employ the negro. You will reccollect that over a year ago I wrote to you that the people of Missouri were far ahead of the politicians, and that the army unanimously sustained the policy of using negroes to fight slave propagandists. Our Northern Democrats doubted this, but the result has proved that I was right. But’ while the people have learned that Ibis was to he the settled policy of the war, and that the negro and every other-means will be used in its prosecu tion, the army has taken another long stride in advance of them. Looking upon slavery as the cause of the war, the army says, “ Ilemsve the cause.” When peace comes, it will be with slavery either entirely removed or in a state of progressive removal in all the country —and all the world will say ‘ So mate it be.’ The Slaveholders ’have killed the ‘ Goose that laid their golden Egg* in making a war to pro tect slavery, and. when they fired the first gun from Morris Islafad, it.will, be peace with -sla very dead', and its grafe'protected by Freedmeti, with arms guarding against its resurection.” Practical Philanturorv. —A gentleman called upon Mr. Lincoln a day or -two since, and found him engaged in counting a small pileof greenbacks. “ This, sir,” said the Pres ident, “is something out of my usual line. But a President of the United States has a multiplicity of duties, not specified in the Con stitution or the acts of Congress; This is one of them. This money belongs to a poor negro, who is a porter in the Treasury Department, and is at the present very sick with the small pox. He did not catch it''from me, however —at least I think not. He is how in the hos pital, and could not draw his pay because he could not sign his name. I have been at con siderable trouble to overcome the difficulty and get bis money for him, and have at length suc ceeded in cutting red tape, as the newspapers say. I am now dividing his money, and put ting.hy a portion in an envelope. labeled with his name, alo.ng with my own funds, according to his wish.” And so he did—folded it care fully and locked it up in a safe, where -neither moth not rust would corrupt, nor thieves break through and steal—thus resolving himself into a saving bank for the benefit of a helpless suf ferer. This is but one of the many instances of practical philanthropy developed in the ev ery day life of Mr. Lincoln. How many men are there in the world, occupying a position with one-tenth the responsibility and impor tance j>f the President’s, who would torn aside from the cares of state and the dignity of official duties, to perform a similar act ? • Destruction op Colt? Pistol Factor* - . The original building of Colt’s Pistol Factory at Hartford Conn., took fire on Friday morning, and was destroyed with all the machinery, and a large amount of other property. The build ing was 500 by GO feet, with an L 100 by GO. The office, a large three-srory building was also, destroyed. The new building in which the Minio rifles are made was saved.—Seventeen hundred workmen are employed in all the shops, half of whom arc thrown out of employment. The loss is at least half a million dollars. It is insured for §750,000 in the New-York and New England ■ offices. -Several lives were lost by the falling of the roof of one of the .build ings. Another account says the loss will foot up one million of dollars. Some days since a lady called at, a daguer rean establishment in Oxford, New York, to have a photograph takeii of her niece, a little child then with her. The photograph was ta ken, and while the lady was waiting to have it finished, the little girl striyed into the labora tory and swallowed some gind of poison which she found there. When,missed and looked for she was found in tho laboratory, dead having expired immediately. The auut has since be came insane. The mystery of the Malden Bank murder is at last solved. The Postmaster of the place, Edward W; Green, against whom suspicions have lately been aroused, was arrested on Sen day evening last, when he at once confessed the deed, in all its particulars and told where a considerable portion of the money could be found, which was recovered.
