This question, although ofta'A gravely asked,

American, to be answered on{ .'with a smile.
Before the rebellion our cot On crop was esti

one hundred millions of dolhim. ;Add to this

which Europe must have, and'which will stand

creditors will be willing tore lelra the money—
leaving the foreign revenue, a tax on a

fourlthonsand millions of dollars (the debt is

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 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.

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.

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
