Camp near Ppilae Xphia, Pa.
' Dec. 18 th, 1864.
Friend Cobb.—l bare recently learned; with
tnuchregret, that reports have circulated
in Tioga County, reflecting, ia a banner, up
on the conduct and character; asia soldier, of
my vfery worthy and highly esteemed friend
and late Lieutenant, Gerould D. P^nnison.
Nothing could be more ujnjust. Lt. Den
nison’s character as an and a' soldier
while connected with the 187th Bggt. was not
only beyond reproach, but .was each as to be
envied by the best officers of his rank .who
knew his services. He not' only,, participated
bnt he went as far, and staid -As Song as any.
man of the line, in every hattfp <A (skirmish id"
which the -Regiment was engaged. He was
often “Lieutenant of the picket,/’ in ftont of
Petersburg, when picketing - waa. as
well as delicate duty, and no' ofS.-er of equal
rank received higher or more ireq lent compli
ments for a vigilant and complete performance
of duty, than did Lt. Dennison. ,-On the ter
rible 18th 19tb and 21st, on the V7eldon R, B.
he was with the front line. On the memora
ble 21st the day upon which wap decided, not
only whether we should retain oar hold upon
that important line of communication, but al
so another important question, •Abether the sth
Corps could stand before a foroi of- twice its
number. Lieutenant DennUon i-beld the cen
tre of the front picket line with '4O men, of the
187tb He held'this important Bne, (being in
front of Gatlin’s Division, tils Division most
seriously threatened) until tio .whole line to
his right and to his left had fallen back a dis
tance of from 300 to 400 yards - notwithstand
ing the right and left were occupied by Veteran
troops. This was all as Gatlin’s
Division was the point aimed at, and as pris
oners afterward testified, they- had confidently,
expected to crush this Division.
"When It. D. was afterward asked why' he
remained so long, subjecting himself and en
tire command to annihilation ■ft capture, he
simply replied; “My instfunions were to
■hold iht lint at lohg at I con l&, and I held it.
Captain Bodine of tho 149th fras Brigade offi
cer of picket that day, and to-him J would re
fer any who may suspect Lt., Dennison’s nietal.-
In losing Lt-Dennison th'2 service lost a
brave, patriotic and efficient officer. His e.arly
-diesmissal cast a gloom over our company and
regiment, as in them he had become unani
mously'known and respected for bis conspic
uous bravery ,and general gpod conduct as an
officer and a gentleman. Bis dismissal was
not intended to reflect upon his '/dnduot as' an
officer or a gentleman. He was dismissed for
failing to answer questions, Jwhich two-thirda
of the officers of his rank might to-day jail to
answer. Had feigned j,iiek and, retired
from doty that day as’ others, of higher rank
did, he might still have belt’.'his commission,
hut he refused to do it, though very strongly
devoted to tho service, he preferred • to take his
discharge, to doing an act which’ be believed
to be dishonorable. I make if Is statement un
solicited by, and without thu knowledge of
Lt. Dennison, hoping he wijl, pardon me for
using his name so freely, beliewing if due those
with whom he has been assofti jtad, as well as
himself that so much should i e said.

Attention I—The President has called for
300;000 trojops, to be raised by,volunteering or
draft. The 15tb of'Febuary, 1865, has bean
fixed upon las the day of draft/’TT'your quotas
are not filled by volunteers- by that time, the
deficiency will most certainly be- made up by
draft.
•- Ward and township conmittees are earnest
ly invited to commence iTork at once. The
longer yon delay the will bo your
task.’ V
‘ The attention of those, conftnitteas is also
invited to the necessity dtfd propriety of deliv
ering up to the District Freest Marshals all
delinquents from former drafts-.
It is impossible for the Unit?d States author,
hies to find these men, seerq-ed, as they ate,
by their friends end by persgihs hostile to the
Government.
Committees, United and County offi
cers, and all good citizens'iare requested to
arrest these men, and deliver them to the
Provojt Marshals. ■ . *.
Evety man so arrested end put into service
by tbe Board of Enrollment founts one tovrards
filling your quota. / ,
Information by letter or otherwise, furnished
to District Provost Marshals of the wherea
bouts of these delinquents wpl be thankfully
received.and promptly acted upon.
Provost Marshals will eaose lists of delin
quents from all former drafts to J)e made and

anderstandingly assist in fVroing these delin
quents to perform their duty to their country
and to their own people.
Bringoil your delinquents; exert yourselves
to put In volunteers, and the necessity of a
draft will ba avoided. ■ - -

THE AGITATOR.
M, H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
WBH.SBOHODGH, PENN’A
WEDNESDAY,
THE TEACHING OE EAXLUBE.
Favored with uninterrupted success,' 'man
would grow insolentlahd self-sufficient, and per
haps impious enough to imagine himself al
mighty. A month of cloudless skies would be
likely to beget a forgetfulness of falling wea
ther, and men might be overtaken by storms
while totally unprepared. Twenty successive
years of general plenty, would destroy all the
habits of economy and frugality which.are'at
present the world’s best defence against famine.
If men never received physical damage from
transgression of natural law, the world would
be swallowed up in,excess, virtue would perish
out ef the race, and society would fall in rnin.
So much for the usee.of adversity.
■ A great military and naval expedition set
sail for Wilmington a few weeks ago. There
were many great ehips, hundreds of great guns,
and 10,000 men. Elated by brilliant successes
the public regarded the fall of Wilmington as
a foregone result. Not many, even of the less
sanguine among loyal men, thought failure
probable.
A few days went by, and then came rumors
of the abandonment of the expedition, and the
return of the treops to Fortress Monroe. The
loyal were filled with anxiety and regret. The
disloyal press rang tb'e changes upon these ru
mors and made no concealment of its joy. . A
MsClellan paper, now lying before ns, publish
es the rumor, and in an editorial says that onr
troops were beaten.baok with great slaughter.
The fact was; that no assault was made by our
troops, and. therefore there was no repulse and
no slaughter from the enemy’e fire. Th o pre
cise fact seems, from the official report to be:
The fleet nnder Admiral Porter attacked Fort
Fisher, and silenced its guns. Under the fire
of the fleet Gen. Butler made a reoonuoieance
in force to within 50 yards of the Fort, and re
tired unmolested, having satisfied himself that
the place was impregnable to any force at bis
command. ' As for losses sustained, they per
tained to the fleet, and do not exceed sixty, all,
or nearly all, from the bursting of several guns.
Now the Wilmington expedition failed. In
posting the books of this war "it will be set off
to’Profit and Loss.' Bat the failure, however
much to be deplored, is no cause for despair.
Wilmington will fall into our bauds as Savan
nah did, in good time. Tbs failure to capture
it ought to teach us wisdom. We ought to
have learned, ere this, that the salvation of the
republic ia to be worked out with fear and
trembling. We are to deserve a redeemed and
purified nation through great tribulation, it
is for us to know that permanent peace, when
it etmies, will come as the wages of fidelity to
trnth and justice, and not as a gratuity. We
have not yet comprehended the nature of this
struggle, as a people. How many of ue rec
ognize in- it more then a passage at arms be
tween two sections of the republic ? Yet it is
something vastly more momentous still. It is
tbs old quarrel between light and darkness re
newed in open field. One must succumb. It
is for the people to say which shall rule. It is
not to ha settled by any fortuitous happening
whatever. We are to purchase peace at a cost
which shall render ns jealous of every attempt
to inaugurate war for the purpose of national
aggrandizement. The scars this nation is to
bear will constitute, not only an open page of
history, but glow as a warning against crimin
al compromise with wrong in all time to come.
This intolerance of defeat, however, is by no
means to be unqualifiedly condemned. None
.but patriots will grieve over the defeat of our
arms. Failure, therefore, twice profits us, —
once in teaching us who sympathize with trea
son, and once in impressing npon tbs minds of
men the fact that man is not almighty, If we
thus regard temporary defeat in this light the
burden will not seem so heavy. Certainly no
man is competent to judge of the merits and
demerits of ony military disaster, sitting in bis
easy chair a thousand miles away. Whatever
else we may be, few of us are military critics.
And when we take it upon us to say that this
might have been’done, or that avoided, we un
dertake to speak upon points of which we are
entirely ignorant.
Let none repine because invariable success
does not attend military and naval enterprise
We must be content to endure the varying for
tone of war ae other nations have endured be
fore. The wide space over which the Union
armies are operating renders uninterrupted
success impossible. Standing at any given
point no man <jan overlook the entire arena, of
war and comprehend the magnitude of the
struggle. The people can afford to be patient.
■They can afford to wait. *•
We see _by the last Lewisbnrg Chronicle,
that our friend Women retires from the edito
rial department of that paper, and that it will
hereafter be conducted by Mr. Cornelius. .. If,
as we learn, brother Worden retires upon a
competency, we most heartily congratulate
him on his unprecedented good luck, and most
cordially wish him rest, peace and continued
prosperity. He was one of the most faithful
and vigorous working editors in the State.
Mr. Cornelius has made some improvements
in the style of tbe Chronicle, aqd has our best
wishes for bis success.
Death is busy among the prominent publi
cists. Hon. Wm. L. Dayton, Minister to the
French Court, died from apoplexy on the 9th
of December last. Hi* remains were brought
home to New Jersey for interment. Gen. Fro
mont is reported as his successor. We hope it
may bo to, oe hi* knowledge of tbe language
will give him an advantage which none of oar
Ministers tp that Court have possessed for a
half century. - ~
Since our last issue, Hon. Geo. M. Dallas,
es-Vice President of the Doited or our
: States died l at his residence in Philadelphia*
Mr. .Dallas was a demojcrat of the Jackaon sort,
but had not mingled in political contests for
many years.
; ; JAN. 11, 1865,
- -There is a little of active military opera-'
tion to chronicle since oar last issue. Our re
ports from Sherman come chiefly through reb
el sources- The Richmond papers report that
She man had driven ,in the rebel pickets at
HardeeVille,, Georgia, on the line of the Charles
ton and Savannah railroad, and that his for
ces were making for Braochville, the junction
of the Savannah and Augusta railroad. G?n.
Dana's raid on the Mobile and Ohio road was
successful. He • burned 25 bridges; took 400
carbines, a large’amouat of ammunition, and
300 wagons. We also took many prisoners.
Our cavalry under Gen. Steadman burned
Hood's pontoon train, and captured 600 mules
and 100 wagons.
Hood has esoaped into Alabama with the
residue of his army.
Parson Brownlow thus compares his family
record with that of Prentice of the Louisville
Journal:
•' My two tons entered the Federal artsy,
and ose of them is now home on cratches be
cause of wounds received in leading his regi
ment of cavalry in a charge upon Wheeler's
forces in Middle Tennessee. My other eon is
in Gen. Oillem’s command, and was in the
fight when that great Kentuckey horsd-tbief
Morgan, was killed, under -whom and -with
whome your sons have been fighting against the
government upon whose bounty their rebel mother
and contract hunting father are living. One of
your sons was killed in Kentucky, while on a
horse-stealing expedition under rebel officers.—.
Tonr other son is now on trial in Virginia, for
the murder of a brother rebel by the name of
White. - Your wife is an avowed rebel, and
ought to be sentSonth by the Federal authorities;
and you are but one degree removed from a re
bel and a traitor, having been completely play
ed ont.
The Fbelino In Canada.—lt is stated on
on the authority of the Chicago Journal that a
clergyman who has just traveled extensively
throughout the Canadas, say that a majority of
the Canadians are enthusiastic friends of the
North and have no sympathy whatever with
the South. The Americans and the native Ca
nadians are our friends, but the English men
and women, with scarcely an exception, are
anemies, and they watch for opportuties to do
us all the injury they can. They give food
and shelter to tbs rebels, they suply them with
funds to bay arms and ammunition, they hasten
to their rescue when in trouble, they echo the
sentiments of the London' Times, they avow
iVneir ccocooluu vrp»trraner'st» pahltQ. and tKow no
little zeal in urging the raiders to cross the
lines and destroy the property of the Yankees.
Since the establishment of the prison post
at Andcrsonville, Georgia,' last spring, twelve
thousand of the Union prisoners held there
have died and been buried there; and this
mortality exists among a body of prisoners at
no time exceeding forty thousand. Their graves
are numbered from one op, and a register kept
in the prison represents their name, regiment,
and Slate in juxtaposition thereto, so there
will be no difficulty in locating the grave of
any particular deceased should the time ever
come when such a thing might be desirable.
More British Nebtralitt.— The Canadian
judge has released, Unconditionally, the robbers
and murderers, who made the raid into St. Al
bans, Yt. The judge decided to restore the
money to the banks from which it was stolen.—
By what law he decides that no erime had been
committed and yet takes the money from these
thieves and returns it, is more than we are able
to understand. They are turned loose in Can
ada for other raids, and Canadian judges aid
and abet them. A day of reckoning is com
ing.
Publishing the Lisis.~The
Cinoinati journals are publishing in full theliat
of tax-payers and the amount they pay under
the special revenue law. The publication has
developed the fact that wealthy men who spend
over $6OOO per annum in their household ex
penses, have no income “over $600.” The pub
lication create a great hubbub, but mostly
among those who have sinister motives for con
cealing their wealth.
A dress parade of bounty-jumpers took place
at Indianapolis, Ind., a few days since. Over
one hundred of them were lashed two end-two
Jo a long rope, with a herculean African lead
ing the column through the principal streets,
ringing a bell.
The oil excitement in the Dunkard, or Greene
county, Pa., region, is increasing. Large trans
actions in the oil lands are frequent, and the
greatest eagerness is exhibited. It is believed
by experienced oil men that this region is equal
to Oil Creek or "West "Virginia.
The Supremo Court of California has "deci
ded that taxes may be paid in greenbacks.
This decision will materially aid the party in
tha f State who are striving to introduce Gov
ernment paper there as currency. It has been
exclusively specie.
Gold in Richmond is now at a. premium of
4,000 per cent, or forty dollars for one, having

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
is compounded from the most effectual antidotes
that medical science lias discovered for this afflict
ing distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it
entails. That it is far superior to any edict
remedy yet devised, is known by all who i. ,vc
given it a trial- That it does combine virtues truly
extraordinary in their effect npon tins clast ui
complaints, is indisputably proven by the great
multitude of publicly known and remarkable cares
it has made of the following diseases Kings

may be learned the directions for its use, and rnme
of the remarkable cures’which it has made when
-all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Thou
cases are purposely taken from ail sections of the
country, in order that every reader may have ac
cess to some one who can speak to him of its bins
fits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses
the vital energies, and thus leaves its '.tain;; far
more subject to disease and us fatal results than
are healthy constitutions. Hence it tend.; to shorten,
and does greatly shorten, the average duration of
human life. The vast importance of these con
•aiderations has led us to spend years in perfecting
a remedy which is adequate to its cure. Tins we
now offer to the public undpr .the name of Area's
Sarsaparilla, although it is composed of ingre
dients, some of which exceed the best of rf’-'t

these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions
that rot and fester in the blood, purge out the

By its peculiar virtues this remedy stimulates the
vital functions, and thus expels the distemper!
which lurk within the system or burst out on any
