From the 207th iJcnagylaaia B^giment,
Ij’JMSI or PETEEtECRG, Mae. 26,1865.
M. H.' CoeE, Esq.—Dear StV; lit will be
of-interest to your readers to kntV soma of
the particulars of the fight in whlo I this regi
ment .was engaged on the 251 h inat; nt. ‘
It is .well known to the reading jublic that
our advanced line, immediately id i rant of Pe
tersburg is held by the 9th Corps.- Ist Di
vision occupies the right nest to,; the Appo—
matter; the 2d Division, lies to the left of the
first; and the 3d Division consisting of six
new Pennsylvania regiments is stationed ahout
a half a mile in the rear of the other ten os a
reserve.
Yesterday morning before daylight, the reb
els made an advance unobserved pnhhe lines of
the Ist Division, and succeeded in/ capturing
Port Steadman, and several other important
works, with very little opposition from. our
sleepy pickets. The Ist Brigade the 3d Di
vision,lying nearest the point attacked soon
engaged the enemy; and the 2d Tfigade'oom
posed of the 205th, 207th and 211 ! Pennsylva
nia regiments being aroused by the unusual
discharge of fire-arms, soon formed ’into line,
and by daylight were moving the
scene of action, some two or three nliijs distant.
Having arrived in close proximity tj? the cap
tured Port, the 2d Brigade was a deep
ravine to nwalt orders—meanwhile J pur artil
lery had assembled from different harts and
were' pfburing showers' of iron hall into the
rebel ranks, who in turn were vigorously re
turning the fire from our own guns which they
had captured in the' morning. The’ Ist Brig
ade was closely pressing the rebels farther to
the right, when ahout half past eight the 2d
Brigade was ordered to charge. Rising from
the ravine “ os from their graves," as a rebel
afterward expressed it, and uttsringa savage
war whoop, the 2d Brigade, two' thousand
strong, charged upon 'Port Steadman and the
adjacent works. The rebels not hiving pre
viously known the position of our troops, wera
completely snrprised and panic-stricken, and
made but feeble resistance; some attempted
to fly, but being closely pressed bjßour brave
boys, the greater portion of them \ladly sur
rendered. ’' /
The 207th P. Y. was the first t i enter the
Fort where they soon placed tteir colors
pierced by five rebel bullets. Alf 1 our works
were re-c»ptured, and the rebel Igis is pretty
accurately- set down at three tlionsand in
killed, wounded, and prisoners, b Our own
loss from the first will not reahhr four hun
dred. One rebel General and' several rebel
flags are reported taken.
Magy instances of personal' bravery on the
part of our troops might be.mentioned, but
as I cannot do justice to all in this article,
I omit names, and append merely a list of
the killed and wounded in this' Regiment.

The New Secretary of the Treasury.
In view of the appointment of Ifon. Hngh
McCulloch to the Secretaryship of the Treasu
ry, Thompson’s Bans; Note Reporter, from
what it knows of bis financial views, cautions
allwho operate for high prices on the theory
of paper money, to “ stand from under.” ‘He
will/ says that authority, “ pareen the coun
try hack to a specie basis—safely, if he can
hut he will careen it in that direction anyhow.
His whole financial history has been of stringent
character. His views now'are that the "gov
ernment itself is the greater losbr by the wide
difference betweeen paper money and gold
and, more than all, beaknows how to lessen tbs
difference ; and the admonishing feature is, he
has not one particle of sympathy for those who
have run in debt on this paper money basis,
nor for.those who bave,poaght golcf and prop
erty because of the depreciation in currency.”
The Pittsburg Commercial it) - commenting
upon this, says that Mr. McCulloch, as Secreta
ry of the Treasury, will be .subject to the law
of necessity, growing out of the condition of
the country. His personal views will ajaount
to but little. He may dcsirv to return to a
specie basis to-morrow, but he can no more do
•o than fly. Tfhe should attempt it he will
fail. It is gratifying to be idformed of his
conservatism in- finance ; but ttujt not be
a wise,conservatism that attempt! a revolution
and thereby creates a panic, which a too speedy
contraction would do. The -country is in no
condition for that. If the expansion of paper
to the present volume was up wise, any attempt
ed contraction not marked by rjnoderation will
entail worse evils. "We are in situation when
to return is nearly as difficult to go over, if
there is such a thing in* tif? Case. The pro
cess of reduction must be gradual to bo safe.
A violent decline of gold wfiuld practically, to
the extent of the decline, extinguish values.—
Fortune and credit would bp- shaken, if not
crushed. While cheap prices would be the re
sult, the ability to buy wOuld.be more than
correspondingly diminished, with broken cour
age end universal distrust added.
The passage of the Emancipation Ordinance
has been followed by a rush cf Eastern capi
talists end. others to to the StAte of Missouri.
Heavy purchases of .lands hi, ye been made,
and » revival of emigration oli a large scale is
confidently predicted. It ij stated that in
Clark and Adair coonties more'land has cnang
ed hands in the lust three months than in the
previous four years. Trains and hotels are
becoming crowded, and altogether Missouri
appears to be entered apon a new career of
prosperity. ,
It seems to be a*e u rded bfl the universal con
sent of mankind that Dr. tf. Q. Ayer & Co.'s

Ml H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
WELLSBOBODGH, PHNN'A.
1 ; : ; APRIL 5. 1865.
WEDNESDAY.::,
STAHD AH3 DELIVER.
, A somewhat amusing and not altogether
uninstruotive debate came off in the State
Legislature on the 9tb of Mnroh. The occa
eion was the introduction of a supplemental
act to extend the provisions of an act relative
to carrying concealed weapons, which oct re
lated to Philadelphia only, to the whole State.
To’this extension Mr. Rice, of Northampton
demurred. He proposed to except the county
of Northampton. His reasons were stated to
be, in effect, that the state of affairs in that
county was most extraordinary ; so extraordi
nary that individuals passing over the most
frequented roads were made to stand and deliver
By foot-pads. Mail carriers have been robbed
also. He objected to tbe extension to include
his county, lest it might constrain travelers to
become “ walking arsenals, with .their belts
stuck full of pistols and long knives.'"
: Mr. Brown, of Warren, admitted that the
ebunty of Northampton might be infested
with brigands. But the purpose of the act
was to disarm such people.
' Mr. Hakes, of Luzerne, was opposed ■ to ex
cepting any county. He declared it to be a
notorious fact that two-thirds of the cases of
homicide were directly traceable to the evil
practice of carrying concealed weapons. “ Let
us Jail back upon the law," said Mr. Hakes,
“ for this is a land of law, where we profess
to able.to protect innocent men and punish
criminals." “ Besides," said Mr. Hakes,
“it occurs to me that a man who carries a
pistol or a knife in bis pocket, commonly, is
a coward," without faith in the power of the
law to protect him.
'Mr. Purdy, of Northumberland, stood for
the necessity of carrying concealed weapons.
He pat several hypothetical cases in which a
peacable man was beset by a mob of drun
ken and infuriated men. If men could not
'.Carry pistols they would use knives, brick,
bate, stones, et cetera. He desired to offer
an amendment excepting Northumberland
county.
After considerable discussion pro and con,
the 'bill passed without amendment.
It is a wise law. One danse declares that a
jury may infer the intention to commit an in
jury from the fact that concealed weapons are
‘found upon or known to be carried by any per
son. This is proper. Few men habitually
carry concealed weapons who are not cowards
and bullies. Every garrotter and burglar,
every thief and gambler, carries his revolver
as honest men carry their watches. When
the law is weak, or the appliances for its en
fururmctu nro w-autlng, lliers IS on ea»t>no fu*.
taking extraordinary means for self-defence.— .
Bat where the laws are enforced and the guil.j
ty brought to justice, the practice of carrying
concealed weapons is evil nnd only evil.
Nowhere .in the civilized world was this
practice so universal as in the slave States prior
to the rebellion. There, every man, and ma
ny women, were in the constant practice of
carrying concealed weapons. It was a prac
tice born of the fears and distrust of.the peo
ple'. They had slavery; and slavery was a
system of violence, liable at any moment to
bring forth violence to the oppressor. The his
tory of the South, as collated from its news
papers, was a history of violence and bloodshed,
of brawls, duels, and cold-blooded - shootings
and stabbings. No reasonable man can doubt
that this condition of Southern society was
greatly due to the practice of carrying deadly
weapons. , If carried, there is danger of an
noeessaryVse; and though the condition of
large cities may sometimes render the carrying
.of a pistol a measure of safety, the experience
of decent men goes to prove, that .more meet
violent deaths who carry weapons, than of
those who trost the police and leave their re
volvers in their drawers, at home.
If no’ man is permitted to carry weapons se
cretly, as a matter of course the violence
which grows out of this practice will cease to
furnish paragraphs for the journals and de
pendence upon law will measurably increase.
The law alluded to does not affect the right of
self-defence. A man may defend himself
against assault with any proper degree of
violence ho may choose to employ.
If he considers bis life in danger be,cun find
a sufficient remedy in the law. We knownoth
ing of the condition of society in Northumber
land and Northampton counties except as sta
ted by the gentlemen who represent them in
the Legislature ; and if their statements may
be relied on, it would seem to be as good a rem
edy as any to boldly take arms and extermin
ate the class which depends upon the road for
a living. It etrikes us that a few unconcealed
weapons would prove a great reformatory
agency in those intensely semi-rebel localities.
Parson Bbdwnlow, as is well known, was re
cently elected Governor of Tennessee. He has
also recovered $25,000 damages from certain
Secesh who despoiled him of his property in
the beginning of the rebellion. In the course
of an article on the subject the Parson says:
“ Impoverish the villains—take oil they
have—give their effects to the Union men they
have crippled and imprisoned—and let them
have their « Southern Bights I” They swore
they would carry on the war until they* exhaus
ted the last little negro, and lost their lands.
Put it to them, is our advice, most religiously.
Fleece them and let them know how other
men feel when robbed of all they have I Let
them be punished—let them be slain, and after
slain, let them be damned I"
Upon which the Cattskill Recorder com
ments :
“ This is a specimen of the State religion
THE TIOHA COUNTY AGITATOR.
which the Tribune’s friends are seeking to im
pose upon the country —a religion of curses
and excommunications, of spoliation in this
world and anathemas in the world to come.”
It will be seen that the editor of the Record
er finds no words of condemnation for the base
wrong which was perpetrated upon Browniow
and the people of Tennessee by the devils who
labored for the rebellion, and for whom all the
precious ointment of Copperhead sympathy is
spilled. We submit it as a question to which
there can be hut one reply—whether there is
the shadow of a donbt as to which party to
this war the editor of the Recorder belongs.—
We pass over the studied misrepresentations
of the war- news which he weekly puts forth
to his public. That is a chronic disease, and
defies ordinary remedies. But the force of
public opinion will furnish the pains and pen
alties for such a betrayal of the confidence of
the people. The true men of the country can
afford to await the progress of events.' He
cannot.
All Hail, New Hampshire 1 As firm in
the right ae her own granite bills, she leads off
tne election column with renewed, vigor and
increased successes. The Republicans elect
the entire Congressional delegation, the entire
council, and have all the Stale officers and 100
majority in the Legislature. That wil do.—
The right is irresistible. Forward the column !

General Orders, No. 13— The Major Gen
eral Commanding announces to the Army the
.success of the operations of yesterday.
The enemy, with a temerity for which he has
paid dearly, massed bis forces, and succeeded,
through the reprehensible want.of vigilance of
the Third Brigade "First Division, Ninth Corps,
in breaking through our lines, capturing Port
Steadman, and Batteries 9,10 and 11; J
The prompt measures taken by Majer-Qon.-
Parks.tho firm bearing of the .troops of th e Ninth
Corps in the adjacent portions of the line held
by the enemy, and the conspicuous gallantry
of the Third Division of this Corps, for the first
time under fire, together with the energy and
skill displayed by Brig-Gen Hartranft, its lead
er, quickly repaired this disaster; and the en
emy were driven from Fort Steadman and our
lines, with heavy losses in killed and wounded,
leaving in our bands eight battle-flags and over
1,900 prisoners.
The enemy being driven from the front of
the Ninth Corps, the offensive was assumed
by the Sixth and Second Corps; the enemy
by night was driven from his entrenched pick
et line, and all his efforts to recover the same,
which were particularly determined and'per
sistent on the Second Corps's front were resis
ted and repulsed with heavy losses, leaving
with the Sixth Corps over 400 prisoners, and
with the Second Corps two battle-flags and
over 300 nrisoners
The troops of the. Sixth Corps, reported by
Major-Gen. Wright as engaged in these op
erations, were GettyVDiviaion.. Heifer's Brig
ade of Seymour’s Division, and Hamblin's and
Edward’s Brigade of Wheaton’® Division.
oe the Second Corns. Major-Gen. Humnhroyo
mentions Mile’s and Mott’s Divisions, and
Smythe’s Brigade of Hay’s Division, supported
by Griffin's Division, Fifth Corps.
The result of the day was the thorough de
feat of the enemy’s plans, the capture of bis
strongly intrenched picket-line under the ar
tillery fire of his main works, and the capture
of ten battle-flags and about 2,800 prisoners—
a result on which the Major-General command
ing heartily congratulates the Army.
Two lessons can be learned from these opera
tions : One, that no fortified line, however
strong, will protect an army from an intrepid
and audacious enemy, unless vigilantly guard
ed, the other, that no disaster or misfortune is
irreparable, where energy and bravery are dis
played in the determination to recover what is
lost and to promptly assume the offensive.
The Major-General commanding trusts these
lessons will not be lost on this Army.
In conclusion, the Major-General Command
ing desires to return his thanks to those oom
-Tnands of the Army not specially mentioned in
this order, for the promptitude displayed by all,
in their movements to different parts of the Hoes
under the exigencies of the hour. In connec
tion with this subject, the promptitude of Ma
jor-Gen. Warren, and of Brevet Major-Gen.
Hunt, Chief of Artillery, in the early part of
the operations, during the accidental absence
of the Major-General Commanding, deserve
commendation and thanks.

An incident, illuatrating the peculiarity of

Passing s bouse by the roadside, a corporal of
one of the regiments asked permission to enter
it, alleging as the reason for his request that it
was the residence of his parents and the home
of his youth- His request was granted. He
entered the house, and was soon clasped in the
arms of the overjoyed mother. “ John - ,” said
she, “ your brother was here yesterday ; he
stopped as the Confederates marched past
here.” That mother has a son in each army.
