grievandes caused by the failure of the north

When George W. Woodward received and
accepted the nomination for Governor, as the
candidate of the anti war, pro-slavery and trea
son sympathising party cf Pennsylvania, he
!announced, with the mock dignity which he is
in the habit of clumsily assuming, that his po
sition as a Judge of the Supreme Court. would
prevent him from participating in the campaign
for his own election. At the time, we consid
ered this position j notifiable and proper ; while
many goad men ware of the conviction that
Woodward would - be, paying a tribute to his
seat on the bench Of. the :Supreme Court, as
well as to the confidence of the mob which
placed him in nomination, if he resigned. In

BBLICS.-A Washington dispatch says that
$15,000 in confederate Wads, certificates,.
of various amounts, recently, captured by a
Pennsylvania regiment, have beenßent to the
Treasury Department, to be kept as Specimens
