THE AGITATOR. M. H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. WELLSBOROUGH, PENN’A: WEDNESDAY, : r : FEBRUARY 24, 1864, THE NEW GOSPEL OP PEACE. The nation witnessed an exhibition of min gled assurance and poltroonery the other day in the Capitol of the nation, which, we feel confi dent, will never be repeated, and will some day return to vex the actors. Fernando Wood, as chief of the Opposition, proposing a deputation of public men, to go to Richmond and treat with Oeff. Davis far a cessation of hostilities on a basis of recognition and separation, con stitutes a picture'to be carefully framed, and preserved for fdture reference. Otherwise, Fernando Wood, and his fellows, little and big, everywhere, whether they swear by Seymour, or Woodward, or Vallandigham,— Fernando Wood and hie fellows, we repeat, will strenuously deny that he, or they, ever meditated such an act of cowardice and. unrea soning fully, much less proposed it in. the Con gress of' the United States. Therefore, be it remembered that the chief of the Copperheads in the month of February), 1864, did propose treating with the rebels for a peace upon the basis of a recognition of Southern independence, and treaties of com merce and amity, offensive and defensive as relative to outside parties. This is now a matter of record. It will be found in the jour nal of the House of Representatives, and in the official reports in the Congressional Globe. — None will dare to deny it, therefore, when it shall be charged upon this chameleon-party which nominates Geo. B. McClellan for the Presidency. We dohbt if even the small squirts who do dirty work in the back town ships of Tioga will ever dare to deny the fact. We last year heard a great deal about “ immutable Democracy.” Thai was the only national party. Thai porty had known no shadow of turning, no change, either in prin ciples or in name, from the beginning. Last fall it was, professedly, a “ war pirty,” in Ti oga county, and elsewhere. . “We go in for the war to put down rebellion and preserve the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was,” —was the universal parrying cry. Well—what now ? Only this: The acknowl edged leader of that party iif Congress comes forward with a proposition to procure peace by recognition of the bastard monarchy set up by Jeff. Davis & Co. We have, at last, an author itative enunciation of what that party does be lieve in and demands. Small beer orators will please take their cue from the virtuous Fernan do—Fernando the swindler—the fit leader of the party, or faction, which acknowledges him. It is a solid comfort to know that the afflictive dispensation of “ the-Union-as-it-was-ism” has passed lt is comforting to feel that.all the charges against the Copperhead faction are, by this bold act of its, leader substantiated.— Bad men are only to be feared while they pro fess to be virtuous. AVhen they fling off the mask, and permit the world to see them as they are, they subside info comparative faarmless ness. The issue is now clearly made np. It is McClellan and peaoe-at-any-price, or Lincoln and peace through the annihilation of rebellion by means of musket and cannon. ‘ Freemen of Tioga—are you getting to meet the issue fairly and squarely ? It is time. H.YPOCBITES AND TBAITOHS. We put this case to mao : , Suppose ten men, yourself among them, had contracted to do a certain thing for the public benefit. You proceed to the preliminaries, and find that certain other men have possessed -themselves of the means and appliances, through which, and by which, that work must be accomplished, if at all; and refuse to yield them up. You urge tho importance of the work, and they meet you with a mere technical objection, contemptible'enough, but sufficient to bold you at bay until lawyers can wrangle, juries boggle, and courts decree the technicality out of existence, or fail to come to any under standing of the matter at all. What sort of men would you call those who should so betray and inconvenience - the public, ostensibly to vindicate such a contemptible technicality,? f ‘But suppose further, that, after weeks of de lay, Involving great expense, and damage to the public interest, these objectors Should say to yod Gentlemen, we don’t want to be un reasonable, but you may as well understand at once that you cannot proceed in the discharge of year public duty until you deposit for our use the sum of §loo.’’ By what name would you call these objectors, after that?. This is substantially the situation at Harris burg. Through the connivance of Jefferson Davis, sixteen Senators, (we do not say men, because, while a man may be'a Senator, a Sen-' ator is not always a man), find themselves in condition to block the wheels of legislation with the baldest of technicalities. These six teen Senators do not hesitate to collude with the arch-traitor Jeff. Davis. Are they not doing precisely what he would have" them to do? That is the plain question. Let every man take it home and answer it for himself. ~ : But who are these sixteen senators? Not Republicans; • no—there is no such pretence made. Nut .democrats; no, for no democrat can join with Jeff. Davis in bis attempt to over throw free institutions. Not" conservatives; THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. no, for conservatives, at least, reaffirm their devotion to the sacred cause of law and order. Who, then, are these sixteen senatorial triflers ? Were a man to send Jeff. Davis a box of En field rifles, or a cargo of percussion caps, and be detected, we should call him—what ? We should call him—not'republican, not democrat, not even conservative. We should consider him not as a- member of a political party, but shsuld name him traitor. And no, true man would ever object to that. . , Well—why riot |call men, senators, and things by their right nsjtnes? Why not call liars, “ liars,” thieves,' “ thieves,” and traitors “ trai tors”? We do riot stand upon punctilio when we detect a man entering a dwelling at mid night by means of false keys. We apeak of that man as “ a thief.” He is a thief, is be not ? And who makes inquiries aa to what po litical party he belongs to ? . These sixteen senators, led on by lliester Clymer, are traitors. The men who uphold them in their factious behavior are also traitors. There can be no degrees in the crime of betray ing one’s country. All who connive at the destruction of the government—whether as armed soldiers, or as publicists perverting, or preventing legislation intended to strengthen the Government, or as local politicians; preach ing the Gospel of lies to the people—all these are equally traitors. Jefferson Davis, Toombs, Benjamin, Mason, Slidell—these men will oc capy rio higher place in the history of crime than Hiester Clymer, and his fifteen fellows.— Though men may affect to discriminate now, history will not discriminate. The historian will judge of ihe actors in this bloody struggle by their deeds, and not by their professions.— He will not listen, to the speeches of men who expend so much breath in lauding the Constitu tion, so long as he finds their public actions in harmony with the plans of the rebels who took up arms to destroy the Constitution. He will discover no difference betweeri the man who assists Jeff. Davis with a musket, and him who dissuades another not to take up a musket in opposition to Jeff. Davis. Is it one thing to add a soldier to the rebel army, and another thing to take a soldier from tho Union army? Are these not precisely similiar actions ? jmd if crimes—are they not precisely similar entries ? Every man who in any way discourages en listments, or who refuses to aid the govern ment as he may"be best able in this crisis, is a traitor. We know no difference between an armed rebel ami an unarmed neutral. Friends—think of these things; and in your estimate of men do not forget to hew to the line. Locality docs not make a villain -greater or less. A Tioga county traitor is no better than a Washington traitor. Crime can never be anything but crime. • BDITOEIAX. COHEP.SPOMTJBIICE. Washington, February 15,15G4. Having often occasion to visit tbe House of | Representatives, I sometimes amuse myself by j studying the faces of prominent members. A day or two ago I spent twenty minutes in the study of a single face—the face* of one of the ablest, as well as most notorious of the Cop perheads. I mean Fernando Wood. It was in 1857, I think, that I first saw Fer nando Wood. lie was standing on the City Hal! steps in the city of New York, ■ haranguing the dirtiest, the most beastly crowd I ever saw gathered in the Park. It was on the eve of the Mayor’s election. Fernando was Mayor, and desired to remain Mayor. . 1857. was a year of financial crashes. There was great distress among the laboring classes in some localities. There was considerable distress among those classes in New York. Upon this distress/Fer nando built his hopes of re-election. I have no doubt, as many better qualified to judge of the facts have none, that the gatherings of the scum of the city in the Park for ten days or more prior to the election, were instigated by Fernan do Wood. It gave him an opportunity to play the virtuous, the peace-maker between the par ties he had created for the occasion. -So the filth qf the city crowded the Park day after day,-with banners inscribed with-the words “Bread or blood!” “Wood is the poor man’s friend!” and so forth. And so great was the disorder that several regiments of militia were called out in readiness to repel any attack, while a large police force was kept constantly on hand. Ten days later Fernando Wood was defeated by Daniel Tioman. The Irick did\not work. Fernando Wood is not a man who would be distinguished in a crowd, unless some man should be reminded of his pocket-book while looking in, his face. He is tall and spare in form, with a good-sized head, moderately cov ered with coarse black hair, which looks ns if it had been stuck down close to the.soalp with some stiff mucilage. The forehead is not high but has a fair breath and slopes backward from a point about two inches above the brows. The head is rather depressed above the ears, and is thin, laterally, at the same point. The brows are well defined but not heavy, the eye is well set,- the nose long and pointed, a trifle aquiline, and the nostrils long and thin—denoting mod erate lung power. , The mouth is wide and coarse, though not by any means strictly sen sual. , It looks like a random cut in a side of pork—witbont fullness of lip, and widely at variance with the line of beauty, j The chin is slightly retreating, and does not, by any means convey an idea of power. Tbe expression of the whole —(out ensemble, as tbe: French have; it—is that of most intense self-satisfaction. It is not a pleasant face, yet it wore a sort of smile for the entire twenty minutes I looked at it. But I thought of Sbakspeare putting some thing about a “ smiling villain” into the month of one of his- characters. J read in that face, canning, ambition, aavoir /aire —or tbe know bow-to-do unscrupulous falsehood, knavery. And I firmly believe that Fernando Wood can no morose - honest’ that a hog can Be a gentle man, Ido not suppose he wonljd- steal so lank a pocket-book as yonr bumble Servant’s ; but then I would not risk it after all. The owner of such a face would not stop to indulge in ab stract ethics if the object he sought made it necessary to ignore tho nice distinction between mine and thine. So much for Fernando Wood. Next time I may speak of James Brooks, whose face is not less an index to the character of the man. I propose, also, to study Voorhees, Allen, Cox, physiognotnically, as well as some of our own more prominent membersJand jot down the result for public benefit. M. H. 0. REPORTED BATTLE WITH GEN, POLK 1 THE, REBELS WHIPPED, AND 12,000 PRISONERS TAKEN! Huntsville, Ala., Saturday, Feb. 20. 1864. It is rumored ' here that Gen. Sherman has had a fight with Gen. Polk, near Brandon, whipped him and taken 12,000 prisoners, j Cairo, Saturday, Feb. 20. 18g|. An officer from the Big Black River reports that just before reaching Jackson, Mississippi, a skirmish ensued between a part of Gen. Sher man’s forces, and a tody of 4,000 to 5,000 Reb els, in which the latter were defeated, and forty captured. Our army passed through Jackson in two columns, the enemy retreating across Pearl River, so precipitatejy that his pontoons, two pieces ofastillery, and a number of prisoners fell into our hands. Our forces seized provisions of all kinds and swept on. Great dissatisfaction is said to exist among the Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri regiments, and large numbers of dssertiers are coming in to our lines. Gen. Sherman reached Meridian ten days after leaving Vicksburg. ' A portion of Gen. Tuttle’s division got be hind, was cut off from the expedition, and re turned to Vicksburg. Gen. McArthur is in command of the Dis trict of Vicksburg, Gen. McPherson having acocompanied Gen. Sherman with moat of bis corps. Passengers from Mobile report that the in habitants of that city feel sure of an attack upon the city by the Union forces, p, Fifteen thousand Rebel troops are reported to be in and about the city. The Union sentiment prevailed to a consider able extent, and would be expressed as soon as I protection was afforded to tho citizens. Department of Western Virginia, 1 Feb. 21, 1864. j Ycffterday Major Cole, while in command of a portion the Ist Maryland Cavalry Battallion, had a skirmish at Piedmont Station, Farquier County, with Mosby’s command. Major Cole took 17 prisoners, among them three officers. We lost abont two killed and two wounded. The Rebels are reported to have five killed and a large nnmber wounded. When attacked Mosby had just received a commission ns lientenant-cplonel, and himself and men were at the time having a jollification spree over the good luck they believed would attend the promotion. Huntsville, Ala., Saturday Feb. 20. 1864. Official information from Gen. Dodge was re ceived ot Gen. Logan’s headquarters to-dav, that the Rebels, supposed to he Roddy’s com mand, attempted to cross the Tennessee - river atr three different ferries but were driven back by Gen. Dodge’s troops. Our loss was very light. The Conscription Act. The following are the main points of the amendment to the Conscription law, os it passed the House on Saturday. The vote was 93 yeas to 00 nays. The quota of each city, town, district, &c., is to be in proportion to the. number of men resident therein subject to draft; and in ascer taining the quota, the number 'already in the naval service is to be taken into account. Any person enrolled may furnish, previously to tho draft, a substitute not liable to the draft, and shall be exempt during the time-for which bis substilue shall be exempt. Previous enrollments are to be rectified by including those omitted, and excluding those improperly returned as liable. Any person drafted may furnish a substi tute, and if the latter is not liable to draft, shall he exempt during the time the substitute is exempt, but not,exceeding the term for which he was drafted, If the, substitute is liable, the principal shall be liable in filling quotas. If the drafted person pay comutation, such payment shall relieve him only for that quota, and in no case shall-his exemption extend be j ond one year. Members of religious denominations con scientiously opposed to bearing arms, and so declaring Ijy oath or affirmation, may be as signed, when drafted, to hospitals, or may pay §3OO for the benefit of the sick and wounded soldiers. Aliens who have voted or held office shall be liable-to draft. Morriners or able sea men may yritliin eight days enlist in the 'naval service for a period not less than the term of the draft; the whole number of such transfer enlistments not to exceed 10,000. Districts'to be credited with such enlistments as if,tbe drafted men had entered tho service. No pilot, engineer, master-at-arros, acting master, acting ensign, or acting master’s mate is liable to draft. Persons physically or mentally unfit, persona actually in the military or naval service, and persons who have served two years during the war and have been honorably discharged, are exempt. The two “ classes” in the old act are consol* idated. Persons resisting the enrollment, or siding and abetting resistance, or resisting any officer charged with duties in these acts, shall be pun ished with fine not exceeding §5,000 or by im prisonment not esceding five years or both. Persons procuring exemptions by fraud shall be deemed deserters, and punished as such, and and held to service for the full term of draft. Whoever procures or attempts to procure a false report from the surgeon as to his phys ical condition, shall be imprisoned for the pe riod of" the draft.—Surgeons guilty of misfea sance shall be punished by fine and impris onment. No member of the Board of En rollment or other officers shall be concerned in procuring substitutes on penalty of fine and imprisonment. The 26th section is Mr. Stevens’s amended j amendment, providing,-for the-enrollment of all able-bodied male persons of African descent between the ages of 20 and 45 ; loyal masters to reeievo the bounty of $lOO due to the slave ; the Secretary of War to appoint a Commission in each Slave State represented in Congress to award compensation, not exceeding $3OO, to the masters off colored volunteers.
