WEDNESDAY, Editofial Correspondence of The Agitator] Washington, Feb. 25, 1865. - The wonderouff progress of the indomitable army under Sherman through the heart of the rebellion leads to reflection. If it be true that he has occupied the Capital of South Carolina, foroed ( the- evacuation of Charleston, and- this without any'considerable battle, the inevitable conclusion is that the people of South Carolina, the parent of treason, are heartily sick of. tbe war, and ready, as it is alleged,- to accept peace on tbe basis Of emancipation and recon struction. Evidently enough thp rebellion has lostieart, as well as prestige within a year.— Who believes that Sherman could have marched from Cbattannooga to Columbia via Savannah, two years ago, without one great battle ? It lyill be remembered that he was longer in marching from Cbattannooga to Atlanta than from Atlanta to Columbia. It will he remem-, bered, al«o,that he declared tbs Confederacy to be nothing more than a shell, while he was " re treating” after Jo. Johnson. When he de stroyed Johnson's army and followed it up with the destruction of Hood, hebroke through the shell,” and marched to. the sea through the country with little opposition. Let us-look at tbe South as a Subjugated people; for that is about tbe fact, and not long hence will be the fact. Looking at the South'in that light, what has it gained by this attempt to establish its independence ?■. Four years ago it was rich in productive plantations, cotton, tobacco, and slaves. Had-it acquiesced iu the election of Mr. Xincoln, as it was bound to do under the 1 Constitution, it would, this very day, have been richer in productive plantations, and all ’the' staple products thereof, as\ well as in slaves, than it was four years ago. Does any rational man doubt this ? How is it to-day ? Two-thirds of the area of the seceded States is a bowling wilderness ; made such by the iron heel of war. Wherev er the contending armies have trampled the land, is 'bare of fences, barns, and houses,— What one army spared the other appropriated;. The boundary lines, the neighborhood land marks, the very contour of the country—all is changed, or wiped out. The records by which men could verify their title to real property are ashes ; and in thousands of cases even the very heirship of property has become extin guished and the property has reverted to na ture.. Slavery, alleged by the South to have been the sheet-anchor of its hopes and pros perity, is dead. Even where the defences of the rebellion bar the jurisdiction or the umcsu States, the system is dead, useless, an incum brance. Leave, the bloodshed and bereave ments out of the question, and the South hat felt the penalty of folly to the quick. ' Declare peace to-day, and the Southern people cannot recover in one hundred years the- ground they have lost during the last four. Desolation baa been sowed broadcast and plowed and har rowed in. Who is to blame 7 In the death of Senator Tboxas Holiday Hicks, whose imposing funeral ceremonies were witnessed in the Capitol on the Xsth inet., the country has lost a devoted patriot and hu manity a friend. He was the most genial and unassuming of all public men ; always having a kind word of greeting for high and low, rich and poor. Simple and unostentatious in both public and private life ; a man of exuberant goodness, of sunshine, and no worse ambition than the rigid performance of duty ; keenly alive to the wants and wails of humankind; if ever a man was fit to live and die he was that man. Sincerity and warm-heartedness were prominent traits in his character. He is more truly mourned than any dead publicist of. the past twenty yean. Others—as Webster, and M. H. 0088, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. WBLZiSBOROUOB, PENN’A. FROM WASHINGTON. Who ? the answer would, hardly be compli mentary.to certain of onr fellow-citizens. Noth ing can be more certain than that the leaders of the revolt, desperate end unprincipled as they were and are, would reported to the arbitrament of the sword butfor the ae ’saranoes proffered by such men as Pierce. Bu chanan. Woodward, Seymour, Vallandigham, Voorhees, Pendleton, Fernando Wood, and company. These men, now the leaders and high-priests of Copperheadiam, judging the northern masses to be as cowardly and wicked as themselves, did hot hesitate to assure the rebel leaders of hearty sympathy and co-ope ration in the North. The "utter falsehood of this assurance came out when the first gun thundered at Fort Sumpter; and notwithstand ing the occasional reaction brought about by these fellows and their allies, the lie has con fronted .them for four years. Hr. Lincoln, in bis first inaugural, declared bis intention to retake and repossess the forts, arsenals, rand other property of the United States, wrested from ns by the rebels. This fall of Charleston puts ns in possession of ev fort built by the govcrnmsnt. Northern reb els sneered at this declaration of Mr, Lincoln’s, four years ago. What will they say to-day ? Ask your Copperhead neighbor about- it. The event of their re-capture is revenge enough up on snob poverty-stricken traitors as these nor thern Copperheads. Tbelr puhishzh ent is very great. It is not necessary to render it heav ier or more humiliating. ' They go down in his tory .for what they are worth. They cannot expect oblivion though they will accept amnes ty. Their record is written and not a word of it will be suffered to perish. History is inex orable. 5,. M, H. 0. Washington, Feb, 26, 1865. THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. Clay, and Everett, had occupied agrtater place in public, notice, and may have been more widely regretted but Senator Hioka will be. more kindly regretted and more truly mourned by those who knew him. ' He was not a great man,' ns the world meat nTes-that quality. He has made'no speeches endowed, with immortality by genius. , He was good, and true, and a pore, practical Chris tian man. But wTiile he was not great, his virtue and fidelity saved Maryland to the Dn ion in 1861. Neither persuasion, trick, or menace could move him from bis allegiance; .and his fidelity seemed the fidelity of Mary land, in one of the most trying hours of the Republic. Witfi a great intellect and.lees love of truth and justice, he would not have held Maryland true to her contract. He would, have struck -bands with* the conspiracy, and Maryland would,, have bpen truly baptized with blood and fire. . MAR. 1, 1865, But his work is done. He was thoroughly anti-slavery and was heart and soul for the enfranchisement of Maryland, .. He was. a slaveholder from his majority. I remember his speech upon the resolution to amend the Constitution. He said that bis slaves had been the benefited partyby the ‘‘relation, not^him self. And whoever knew him could readily believe that. His successor trill be of the right stamp, for Maryland-has a • legislature' which brooks so half-way action. But little more than two working weeks re main of the second-session of the 38th Congress.' Necessarily these two weeks will be foil to the brim of exhausting labor. ■ The heavy - appro priation bills are now in hand and will, with thetas bill amendments, occupy tbe greater portion of attention. The Deficiency -bill, as it is called, still sticks between tbe House and tbe Senate. It- has fallen to the ground twice, whereas it ought not to have fallen at all.-r- Tbere is do difference of opinion among Sena tors and Representatives as to the necessity for its immediate passage. - Why, then, should it fail? Because tbe House saw fit to insert n clause appropriating $38,000 to pay its employ ees extra, nver and above their salaries as fixed' by law. The Senate refuses to concur in the clause. It will never agree to- tbe raising of tbe salaries either of its own or the House Em ployees. But the House insists, and threatens to kill-the appropriation 1 for deficiencies in the appropriations for the entire service for tbe year ending June 30, 1861, if itsdemands bo not complied with. Ido not. think members of the House dare to execute this threat and then go before the country. — I hope not. Whoever , suffers for want of pay, it must not be tbe soldier. Congress cannot very well increase the wages of tdose in the civil service and not correspondingly increase the pay of the army. Probably few reflecting men deem on increase of salaries in all the departments' at this time eitner wise or- expedient. M. H. C. The national arms have achieved another important,though not unexpected, triumph.— Schofield’s soldiers and Porter’s Bailors cele brated Waahington’a'birthday on Wednesday last by taking possessioa of SVilminglon, North Carolina. The rebels on Gen. Terry’s front, after the loss of Fort Anderson, made a stand about font miles below the city; but here they were attacked in the rear and routed by the troops under Gen. Cox, on last Monday. l They then fled to Wilmington, burning tbs bridge over Brunswick river behind them, and also immense quantities of cotton and rosin. They hastily evacuated the city on the night of Tuesday, and early on Wednesday morning, the 22d, General Terry’s command marched jn and occupied it, capturing.large quantities of supplies of all kinds. Seven hundred prisoners and thirty gang were captured in Fort Ander son and Wilmington together. It said the reb els turned a thousand bales of cotton and fif teen thousand, barrels of rosin before leaving : the city.’ Unusual movements and activity have been i observed in the Rebel lines aronnd Richmond daring the past few days, indicating designs of some new enterprise on the pert of Gen. Lee and it is surmised that, alarmed by the pro gress of Sherman’s and the other national for ces, he has concluded that the time for giving np both Ricbmondand Petersburg, and failing back to Lynohburg'or some other defensible po sition, has at last arrived. Gen. A. P. Hill's . corps of his army is said to have been under orders on Thursday of this week to be prepar ed to march at a moment's notice; and con siderable commotion within the rebel lines was displayed yesterday. There are also rumors that Lee meditates at) attack on Grant Great excitement ij eaid to prevail In Knox ville, Tennessee, owing to a report that the rebel General Longstreet is moving on that place. It is said that the intent'of the late movement of national troops from'KnoiviUe is to defeat his plans. Other important disposi tions of "Union forces, looking to the circum vention pf designs on East : Tennessee which General Lee is supposed to entertain, are re ported to be in process of execution. • Nothing later regarding General Sherman’s progress has been received. The Richmond journals, though they give no news, are very boastful in their tone and confident in their prophecies pf his overwhelming defeat ere long. They say that the next and only news from Sherman that the Yankees will get from them will be that his army has been “met, defeated, and probably destroyed.” The Whig says ‘ Sherman's doom may be look ed upon as sealed.’ Evidently great prepara tions nre being made by the rebels to check him, and the mysterious hints thrown out apd exultation of spirit indulged in by these news paper men give weight to the report men tioned in the despatches from the army of the Potomac, that Lee has left Richmond and gone to superintend affairs in Sherman’s front. The indignation of the Richmond editors over the defeat by the Senate of the bill 4to put slaves in their armies continues to be vent ed in strong language, and the Sentinel, [Jeff. WAR. NEWS. Davis' organ] calls for a mass meeting in that city to coerce the Senators. It appears that the bill received its quietus by a majority of only one, there being eleven against it to ten in favor, The Ralbigh Confederate says that tbe. people of Wilmington, N. C., had fifteen, thousand bales of cotton hidden away, awaiting the arrival of the rmtional forces. ~ Sixt7 Thousand Persons Drovdned in India. Late advices reveal tbe full extent of the - disaster inflicted by the terrible cyclone in‘ln dia. A Calcutta letter to the London Times, just received, says: I see that tbe news of 12,000 persons having been lost in tbe cyclone was received with in credulity in England. The estimate was wide of the truth, but only because it vastly under rated the calamity. As every one who knows this country will really conceive, there is no possibility of ascertaining precisely tbe loss of life, because hundreds might be swept away and leave no trace behind. But wc ate nut without data for arriving at a conclusion, and it has now been calculated that there cannot be fewer than 60,000 persons drowned or oth erwise kiliied by that, fearful storm. In the islapd ofSaugor alone, before the cyclone, there were 8,200 persons. There are now about 1,200 j nor have any left it to go else where. - Seven thousand were carried clean away by the storm wave. All up tbe river the population has been swept off, if not in the same proportion, yet in very large numbers. — As will be anticipated, disease is raging every where—cholera, fever, and small-pox. Tbe ep edemic fever, which I have mentioned in pre vious letters this year, depopulating whole dis tricts-. A magistrate told me the other day that be had been riding through a village in which there was hardly a grown-up person left. They had died without hope of assist ance, without medicine,. without food—for the crops are rotting on the ground in many places where the sale water rushed in. The Bengalee are in a deplorable plight, and' the zemmders increase tbe general misery by tur ning the ryets out of their huts because they are behind with their rents. There is money enough here to give relief—such relief as can be got for money. But human means seem quite powerless to stop the awful dia— eaasea that are walking through the land, car rying thousands before them. Tbe native feels himself' ill, wraps himself in his blan ket, says it is fate, and so perishes. In this enormous population—let it be remembered, that hero in Bengal alone wc have at least forty-five million of people—tbe few Euro peans can only do good lie re and there, and. yet it is solely by Europeans that good is be ing done. The rich native will not help his countrymen. Ood gave him bis money, and God Intended him to keep it. is pret ty much his mouo of reasoning. Sometimes the fever strikes him, and then in abject ter ror be offers English doctors a fee of five hundred rupees to come and visit him. In a recent case' of that sort, the man—who was worth about four millions sterling—bad re fused to give a pice to the poor, after the cy clone. When death was at his throat he al tered his mind, and promised large benefac tions if he recovered. He was not spared to add falsehood to his cruel service. The Income Tax for 1864. The Income tax for 1864. differs from that of 1863 in several particulars. The; were fixed by the act approved June 30,1864. For the information of those who have, taxes to pay we give a brief synopsis of the main points. The new scale of taxation is as follows: On incomes, between §6OO and- $5OOO, the tax is to be five per sent.; between $5OOO and $lO,OOO, seven and a half per cent.; on all over $lO,OOO, ten per cent. Besides the $6OO, which is exempt in all cases, there shall be de-> ducted all national. State and municipal taxes of the year, except the income tax; the income derived from the dividends of all corporations, and the interest upon their bonds and debts, previously assessed; the rent of the payer’s homestead, or the rental value of it when owned; and also the amount paid for hired la bor in carrying on a business, rents of places of business, money paid for repairs not exceed ing the average of the preceding five years, and money paid for interest on incumbrances on real estate. But it is to be observed that there is to be only one exemption of $6OO from the aggregate income of a family composed of parents and and minor children, or husband and wife, except where the income of wife or child is derived from a separate source. Pub lishers of nswspapers will not have their in come from advertisements deducted under this law, as under that of 1862. The items are somewhat enlarged. The new profits on real estate purchased and sold within the, year are reckoned as income: and losses of the same nature are to be deducted. The in terest due over and above the amount of inter est paid upon all notes, bonds, mortgages and other forms of indebtedness if good and col lectable, is to be included in income. All gains derived from the purchaser or sale of stocks or other property, including agricultural products, and the profits from all companies not specified in the law—that is which have not paid taxes on dividends—are reckoned as income, as is also the interest upon notes, bonds and other securities of the United States. The taxes are to be levied on the Ist of May, and to be due and payable by the 30th day of June. Rivers of Blood. The circulation in. the system is not unlike the flow of rivers to the sea, which move smoothly until they are clogged or Obstructed. But when drift wood or alluvial deposit dams them up, then comes the tearing devastation that follows the obstruction of a force which cannot’be stayed. So the blood circulates insensibly through the system until it becomes clogged by disease; then burst out the ulcers,sores and disorders which follow that condition. Take flyer’s Sarsaparilla and pu rify your blood, to sive yourself from the floods, freshets and which sweop-unnambered multitudes oat upon that shoreless sea which swallows ail mankind. —Lancaster (Pa Regis ter. —Preparations are being made by General Pope to protect nil kinds of property on the plains and drive the Indians away or compel tbenf to be quiet. The arrangements are ample for the purpose, and will supersede any meas ures taken by the government or people of Col orado. Brigadier General Corner probably will have special charge of this duty, and will be backed by a sufficient force to carry it ont. A regiment of cavalry, 1000 strong, was report ed to have left Leavenworth, which will patrol the overland mail route in battalions, and keep it open. Other forces will aiso be so disposed on the plains as to secure complete protection to property, and chastise all hostile Indians. Buying- Gold Makes one a Bebel. There is 'instruction and example in tbe following incident narrated to us by a Pennsyl vania friend. An honest Schuylkill County Qerman mer chant, who had been prospered and had accumu lated mure money, than he could employ as capita) in his bugimßS, came to a patriotic banker in Philadelphia and said: “ 1 have got seme moneys, and I want you to buy me some gold.” “Why, Schultz, what do you want gold fori That isn’t the thing you sell in your store.” ,“I know that—but 1 wont, to make some money on de rise of gold. Beoples say it is going up, and 1 link I may make a tousand dollars." “ Schultz, ’ you dear old fellow, don’t you know that if yon buy gold you will bs a rebel f" j “ No !” sai|i Schultz, with a tune of resent ment in his wonder, “ Suppose you tf&y 810,000 of gold. Sup pose that some morning you read in the papers in big letters : “ Terrible disaster to the Union cause 1 Grant’s army routed and destroyed! 1 Tbe rebels marching on Washington 1 1! ’” “ I should say dat was dam tarn pad news," excitedly'interrupted the German. “ Yes, but would’nt you say right off, • dis, however, will put gold up—pad for the union cause, tarn pad, but it is gout for my ten thou sand V. .Don’t you see, Schultz, that in buying gold you instantly make tbe interests of tbe rebels your invests —that you bribe yourseli to wish them to succeed, and to wish your country and your countrymen to fail ? And‘if these unholy desires, Shultz,don’t define a rebel, there is no language to define one. Don’t you see that buying gold inavitably turns honest, patriotic, devoted men like you, away from the cause which, they ought to support, and which they cannot support, because they have made it for their interest not to support it ? Don’t you see it, dear old fellow 1” “Be sbure I do,’ 7 - said the honest man, with gravity of manner and humility ; “ and I ax pardon of the war. Put de whole of da: in Seven-Thirties.
