WEDNESDAY, : : t
FROM. WASHIK QTOK,
Editorial, Correspondence of The. Agitator] I
Washington, Feb. 141',1865,
Even amid a dearth of news from -;the ; thea
tre of war, public confidence roles buoyant. I
have never observed a greater degree of confi
dence among public mep, during the struggle,
than is everywhere apparent to-day.
Many things conspire to produce this confi-
lt is believed that the failure of the
rebel peace Commissioners to make peace has
created.a wide and rapidly increasing dissatis
faction with Davison rebeldom. The testimo
ny of deserters from Lee’s army lead* to this
belief. Two hundred reached this city two
days ago, and took the oath of allegiance. They
say that the soldiery of the South fully expect
ed peace to result from the Peace Commission.
That its failure has plucked the heart out of,
the rank and file; and that they will never
flight os they have fought, again. Well, this
sounds well. I hope it is true. And there is
much reason to think that it is true. But
still, 1 believe that there is none so direct and
certain path to peace as lies through the rein-?
forced ranks of our armies. Let our armies be
filled up with stalwart men,and much bloodshed
will be avoided. It now looks as if a prompt
response to the call of 300,000 men would
thoroughly discourage both men and officers of
the rebel forces. Were three hundred thousand
men to take the field in sixty days, in addition
to. those now there, 1- have not the slightest
doubt that the victory would be won without
another great battle.
Men are disposed to overlook moral effects
in snob wars. Yet it is a well known fact
that the consciousness of being outnumbered
alwas destroys the beet pluck of an army.—
Let (he Southern army know that we have put
a greater number of men into the field than
they can muster altogether, and they cannot
be brought to fight a'great battle agein.
Any one who reads the'speech of Jefferson
Davis at the war meeting in Richmond, held
soon after the return of Hunter, Stephens,
and Campbell, will not fail to see that his lan
guage is the language of despotism born of
inhuman hatred of the bid government. It is
a noticeable that Messrs. Stephens and
Hunter did not attend the meeting held a few
days later, at which they were advertised to
speak. These facts have great significance,
whilq they do not, by any means, foreshadow
the immediate, falling in pieces of the rotten
Confederacy. Its leading spirits do not fra
ternize. Davis has no hold upon the affections
of the people of the South; indeed, he was
never a popular man among the He

ability without heart.cannot control tbe Amer
ican people.
At no time during tbe war has the govern
ment exhibited a more settled determination
to “prosecute its war for self-preservatien than
to-day. It may turn out that Mr. Lincoln
was wiser than we who looked upon his jour
ney to Fort Monroe with little favor. One of
many, I considered, and still consider that en
terprise as of doubtful good. But if it shall
ultimate in good, no one will more gladly ac
knowledge the error. Its tendency was to be
get hopes of an. early peace—hopes wfaiob |
oould not fail to suffer blight. But possibly
tbs disappointment will work more ill to tbe
rebels than to us. It now looks as it might do
so.
Congress is doing little in tbe ,way of legis
lation. The House is engaged on tbe tax-bill
—a very great job. The Senate has finished
amending the Civil appropriation bill and is
now deliberating upon tbe bill to charter a
new road from Washington to New York.—
The plucky State of Camden and Amboy comes
in for a great deal of notice. It is to be hoped
that tbe new road will be authorized.

A courier from General Sherman to Admiral
Porter arrived at Smithville yesterday, having
ridden across the country at great peril, an
nouncing the capture, by Shirman’s -forces, of
the town of Bnmohville, after three days’ hard

The capture was doubtless effected on the

Dejection of the Rebels —What Sherman
is Doing and What is Likely to Happen.
Newbeen, Monday, Feb. 13, '65.
* The Raleigh (N. C.) Progress, of January
21 contains two extraordinary articles, on the
state of the country, of tbn most' defiant char
acter. It says that a gentleman of.jnteUigence
and position has . just arrived in ; Raleigh from
Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina,who states
that the people of the last named States are
the worst whipped set be bag. .ever seen or
heard ~of.
They look on all as gone, believing Sherman
will meet do serious obstacles, and in fact want
the best peace they can get, and, want it now.—
The Progress nays that the tone of the Geor
gia and South Carolina papers leads to the same
conclusion, while we are quite : as much dis
gusted with Jeff. Davis now as with Abe Lin
coln in I{B6l.
“ Sherman’s columns,” says The Progress,
“ are moving on, and soon they (ibe Srutb
Carolinians) will have a-, chance to spill the
last drop of blood, of which we have heard
so much. The rulers at Richmond are carry
ing us to destruction at the rate of sixty miles
an hour,"
The Progress in its other articles says: ‘ Sher
man is in motion, and according to refugees
from SaTsnnnab, 1 has a force of 80,000. men
Nor is bis army a loose mob prowling in the
country to,oppress friend as well as foe—it is
an army of discipline, vigor,‘notion. Terry is
on our own coast —has Fort Fisher at the mouth
of Cape Fear River, and will soon, we think,
have Wilmington. He probably has 20,000 to
40,000 men.
“ Suppose they combine their forces, Terry
and Sherman, we must set them down at no
less than about 120 thousand men, and
they will move on with the sun, and before
the orb that lights the world shall stand erect
in the heavens, it is more than probable that
tbs Federal flag will float over Charleston,
Wilmington, Columbia and Raleigh I Yes
Raleigh, too!
Grant will stay where he is, and thus keep
Qen. Lee’s army in the vice that has held it
for the last ten months, and Sherman and Terry
will move on. Newborn .would be the water
base, Raleigh the inward base; and with Grant
on the James and Sherman at Raleigh, both in
command of )arge armies, all transportation
cut off and supplies exhausted, Gen. Lea’s ar
ry would be in a tight place.
The Governor and the Legislatures will leave.
Sherman comes here and throughout, the State
generally, they will do as they have in Savan
nah, make the best they can of a condition of
things they could not help. The people want
peace, regardless of Jeff. Davis and Abe Lin
coln. Give them peace and protection for
person and property, and they care very little
about boundary lines, or who may be President.
The Progress also says: ‘ Rumors are rife
in Richmond of the evacuation at an early*
day of that city, and njany of the citizens be
lieve that such a thing will take place. We
are prepared for great changes and momentous
events in the next sixty days, and even the
abandonment of Petersburg and Richmond
would not startle ns.” 1
Important to Discharged Soldiers. —The
Harrisburg JTeUgrapk says it is important to
soldiers who go to Washington to get their
arrears of pay and bounty to know that' the
cost of their transportation to and from that
city is deducted from their account. This de
duction can he saved to the soldier, by enclo
sing certificates of discharged and blank vouch
ers, signed to Col. Frank Jordan, the Penn
sylvania State Agent at Washington. Snob
accounts can be collected .without the presence
of the soldier, and whenever the papers are
dispatched as herein directed. Col. Jordan
will see that all accounts thus entrusted for
settlement to bis department are collected
without the presence of the soldier, and the |
sums received immediately remitted to the i
soldier. , , 11
M. H. C,
In the same , connection it is important for
persons desiring to visit any of the armies in
the field, to know that there is a stringent or
der which forbids all- passes being granted for
such purposes, except to those who go to get the
remains of friends, or to sick soldiers. In these
oases the persons applying for a peas, most ex
hibit letters or other evidence of the fact or of
the dangerous sickness of the soldier they wish
visit. In no case will a pass be issued to'
those who seek to go to the front for mere rec-J
reation or the satisfaction of idle curiosity.
—The Cleveland Plaindealer mentions the
case of a well dressed young man of good man
ners, who gave in his income to the assessor at
several thousand dollars, paid the tax and had
the pleasure of seeing fats name in the list among
the nabobs of the country. On the strength of
this he courted a wealthy man's daughter, and
married her. Then it was fonnd out that he
had no money, and had sold his mother’s watch
to pay the income, tax. The Government'made
a good thing of it, so did the young man, and
nobody will care much whether the girl or her
parents have or npt. This case exemplifies the
itobing desire of many parents to get rich hus
bands for their daughters, without regard to
their habits, character or intellect.

In the western oil district of the State, where
gas and salt water are found in the same locali

large territory embraced in part of Bradford,

which cover the eastern bituminous coal and oil
basin of the State. In this district the people
are Tanning wild in land speculations', particu
larly on tbd water of the Sinnamahoning River
and its branches, where many oil and salt wells
are now being sunk. Some are already down
to the first sand-stone stratum, and producing
gas and strong salt water; indicating beds of
rock salt in that vicinity. The water now boil
ing from one of these wells, is producing more
than one pouud of salt to. the gallon, which is
stronger than the Tioga well, where salt has
been'made. Enough salt water is already dis
covered .and tested to know that Pensylvnnia
is now independent of the Syracuse salt stuck
