compiiinent to the Telegii.ph frcan. the
. 'York Gazette, &v.,
Mr. EDlToll!—Please excuse us for troubling
you again, but, really, we could not help con-
Efratulating you upon the'compliment you re
ceived from the York Gazette of 'Tuesday last ;
for we regard:it-not a slight mark of distinc
tion in a paper, when such a sheet as the
Gazette calls it "the" meanest "paper," except
Forney's PresS, to which' a communication
might be sent, that speaks the truth in regard
to matters of high importance, (cithe eommu
uity interested, especially; and, MiAccount of
the principles involved, to the public general
ly.- The ag'i n't Forney is easily account
ed for. - You know; he seceded from the old
Public Functionary, and; ever since, does no
ble service for the Government and the Union,
and that is enough to obtain the good wishes(?)
of such de!ectable rebel sympathizing sheets, .
as this same York Gazette truly is. But, Mr.-
Editor, you mast, in justice, allow your hiiru 7 _
ble correspondent to claim a part of this com
pliment, for it was the,"stubborn facts" of our
article that brought it to you; therefore, as
the boys say : "We chihn halves." You ill
preceive that there is not the slightest attempt
to refute or dispLove any, of the . facts stated
in our communication, in reference to York
county juries; but the idea 'of such truths
going. abroad, concerning the official partiality
in bodies of men, Who,above all others, should
.
avoid all appearance of party prejudice, under
their sacred obligations, is what stings, to the
quick thoSe who,. foster, advise and uphold
snoh disreputable acts. . -
You will bear us witness; Mr. Editor, that
we made no injurious or slanderous remarks
against any man, individually,. in our article.
We spoke of the acts of our grand juries, at
different times, (including other 'juries also,
—especially the manner, in which they have
been constituted, for years, in our cormty,.);
and we defy successful refutation of anything
said, by any man; who will take the trouble
to examine the matter fairly. We, by no
means, intend to convey the idea abroad that
York" county has not men enough to act as
jurors, who would compare favorably with
these of any other county of Pennsylvania ;
bat, sir, that is not, he question at issue. We
assert most confidntly that the selection :of
jurorS, in our county, has, for years, been
made with a view to appease political ;disaf
fection, to strengthen party attachment, arid to
obtain party favor, without • any material con!.
sideuition of mental or moral capacity; . with
quite a limited number of exceptions. .-1n
proof whereof let any man, acquainted with
the material, ..examine our "Lists" of jurors,
retrospectively, arnioet,. ad libitum. Why, Mr.
Editor, there isn "List" now published 'for
our next court of common pleas,' and, so
for as the names are knoWn to thewriter, there
is but a single. man on. it, who• does not.bear.
the shibboleth of the; strong party of.the county
about with hini. .Is there no design in this?
—yea, :isNthere no danger of party favoritism
in the verdict of such juries? Are such Se
lections in accordance with the intention of•
the law on the subject? We trow not.
We rpmarkecithat we saidnothingrinclivid
milly, injurious or slanderous of any man,
and we intend not, now, to do so.; but, •the
Gazette's.ire suspended over us, though it. be,
we cannot avoid.relating an Anecdote • about •
the, jurors of our last quarter sessions ; re
ported, by one who is of the genus copper-.
head, dyed in the wool. It said that the
President Judge wished to hold an evening
session; but when thejurors were called there
were not enough, of those drawn, to make up
a panel; and that, consequently, bystanders
Were selected. "Where were :the. jurors' at .
the time?" was asked by one.. 4 .g.nthe lager
saloons!" was the reply. Now, we ask :."Who
pays the bystanders for doing the jurors'
workr .work, for which these jurors "were, no
doubt, paid in full. And, again, we ask Is
that not a confirming comment on' what' we
have written concerning York county juries?
This lager saloon matter brings to our mind,
most forcibly, Judge Kelly's speech in Con
gress,. about Democratic "school-houses," and
we might say something about party arrange
ments, in that line, here ; but our space is
full, and we must defer that for perhaps, a•
future article, 'if desirable. . . • ••••

Reading One's Obituary.
In the days of old Mycalf, the publisher of
the Newburyport Herald, (a journal still alive
and flourishing,) the Sheriff of Essex, Philip
Bagley, had been asked several times to pay
his arrears of subscription. At last one day
ho told Mycalf that he,certainly would hand
over the, next morning as sure as he lived.
"If you don't get your money to-morrow you
may be sure lam dead," said. he. The morn

Strengthening of the Army.
On January 30, the rebel House bfr*Repre
sentatives had before it the bill. 'amendatory
of the act to put an, end to the exemption
from military service of those who.have here
tofore furniShed subSiitutes," approved Janu
ary 5, 1864: In the course of the debate Mr,"
Smith, of North Carolina, said: . .
Wehad akibis',4liup • 40,0,000 men. on our
muster rolls. 4ow ; many were- actually in
the field, fie Was.u.iiable to state: probably it
was one-half were not there, and it was • we7l
known that we were unable to feed the/Wm/lona/.
part who were in the fie ld. If, howeyer,, there
were half—if 200,000 should require the pos;
sible seizure of one-half of the pro4isiOns of
the country--where, he would ask, Were the
means to feed- the ten times. that number who re=
?waned at home? With this. condition of af
fairs staring us in the faCe, it was now pro
posed to break up the farms, and reduce the
agricultural interests of the country to about
naught.: Look at the condition- of , the coun
try around Richmond; but , this was scarcely
more than a type of every other part ,of the
confederacy.
Congress did not propOse to redtice . the effi
ciency of the digerent'bureaus; it did not;re
duce, for instance, the• efficiency of the ordi
nance and nitre bureaus, because the men
must be furnished with munitions of war.
And yet munitions of war were not all that
we could rely on. • We must feed and clothe.
the army, and not only the army, but the pee-;
pie at home. Private appeals` were daay coming
10 theMeMbers of Congress from soldiers in the
army speaking of the su f fering at home; how
many of their families are wanting the necessa
ries of life, when they are unable to send them
amy part of their scant pay; how many ask,
ing for relief to the farming interests; how
some, stimulated-by the prospects of starve- .
tion at home,. and the deficiency of food inthe
army, are . driven to • despair and desertion.
With these things constantlybefdreit, would :
Congress still break doWn and cripple the lini- -
ited resources that were left lug to carry on this
ware
Hr. Chambers, of Virginia, said that..manu-.
factures were as necessary as agriculture, and
there was as great a deficiency in clothing to-day
as there was in food. Dillthe gentleman mean
to say that our soldiers deserted to the Yan
kees becapie they were not fed? We could, he
believed, feed double two hundred thousand
men in the field; and if we could not, then the
sooner we :made terms with Abraham Lincoln,
the betterfor us. We must have more than,
two hundred thousand men in the field next
spring; we have now all the suPplies N we will
have then, for the farmers' productionSwon't
be available until next winter, Everybody ad=
mits and expects that next spring will be the
worst and the heaviest and most dectsive cam
paign that will occur,:dnd yetthere is a demand
for more exemptions. He was not opposed - to .
the exemption of planters; whether they fur
nished substitutes or not,. it made no differ
ence. But he was opposed to, class legisla
tion.'
Mr. Dupre, of Louisiana believed that if
Congress. had given. more, atention to trans-
portation, the subject of food would not now•
be exciting so many fears.. He had traveled
a long way in getting here; and from Westein.
Louisiana to this place he laid seen very
large quantities of provisions, which only
wanted transportation to be dietributed4o
the people and the army. The cry ,of scarcity
was a stratagem employed:by traitors, and it'
misled many honest and conscientious men,
who really believed what they said. It was a
stratagem to excite the spirits and the efforts
of the Northern people, and disaffection and
hopelessness in our own. • '
Ur. Goode, of :Virginia, was able to state;
upon the best authority; that in reply, to in
quiri.es propounded them by Colonel Preston,
• Chief of the Cori Script Bureau, all of the enroll
ing officers of the State, who were assembled
here a few days ago, 'said' that the State could
not stand another draft. It had been!said that
the agriculturists necessary at home might be
enrolled and detailed. If men were wanted
• outaide the army, it was' our 'duty to exempt
them by law, and not leave it to the Secretary
of War and the President to dole out details.
He was not one of these Who delighted in the
Quixotic pastime of making a man of straw
and tilting at him; he had .110 fdays;. aridAhe
people need ha:ye no fears, of the Executive,
and it was with. no feeling . of want of confi
deuce in the ExectitiVe when he' said that he
preferred this Congress to pass its own laws,
rather.thsn call upon.that bmnch:of the. Gov
ernment to do it for: them. The great danger
to-day to our cause did not come from, our own
Executive, it canto from the tyrant at Washing
ton, and it should be•the effort of this govern
' meat to use dal its energies in providing
against the cal rnities which that, tyrant would
endeavor to;inflict upon' us.
Mr. Holcombe, of Virginia, said that by the
bill`of which' this was'an . aanendment, the en::
tire agricultural population would' be put in
the army, and that in a ,country whose agri
cultural population greatly outbalance that of
the cities and towns. Napoleon, in the rah
' less conscription which he inflicted on France;
never went above 'the age of thirty `years.
We proposed to put, in all of every age; and
when it was known that it was a precarioas
matter to, supply, from meek to meek, the army
in the field. When the supplies' were known
to be so scarce, the'slaves were - to be with
drawn from, the fields, and:it ,was proposed in
time to draw still more largely upon the vital
resources of, the country. From his district.
would be drawn' one hundred' men for the
army and stop two thousand laborers, noW
`engaged in producing grain for the -army..
We had now five hundred thousand men in,
the field to provide for; the now law woidd .
add ono hundred thousand- more, ap4 was it
possible to escape sfe&ation when there
were none at halite' tc; pro - hide' for - theni/

tsfirurncial Condition. It was our policy to pro
tiact the war. Time and distance were our great
allies. ::We must remember that, in reference
to this State at least, our last crops were far
below , the average. Oar space had been con
tracted, 'arid all now must be devoted to the
production of provisions for the next year.
Take away the men, and starvation at home
and ruin in the army would be, in his opinion,
the inevitable result.
"Hr. Cohrad, of Louisiana, said that they
had heard of this cry of starvation now for
nearly three years. They had gotten so used
,starving, in fact, that, like the Irishman - a
bOrse, we will soon be able to live on noth
ing. •

Man's unintended misapplication of the

MT. Conrad concluded by nitrating to the
Privations of the army and the people as in
evitable and only to be surmounted by the
vigorous prosecution of the war.
Mr. Mltae, of Mississippi, believed that
the most certain way of feeding the army was
to increase its numbers in the field.- The in
;stdiciency existed because Haw were so many o t'
he enemy within our borders, and ire hatl not
Otijicient numbers to drive them out. Some had
tittiibuted the scarcity to corruption in the
Nmmissary depute:tent, and though unpre
pared for an opinion as to the truth of that
charge, he still believed that that department
*as ttiefficient; others attributed it to want- of
transportation, and want of transportation
had certainly much to do with it. We had
now but one line of railroad, the Knoxville and
Peattanooya being in the possession of the enent,
left its with a vast auxiliary cut afr. Ile be
lieved that there was no deficiency in the emm
fry,,and that if we could drive the enemy back,
ace could feed the army, no matter what its num
bers.
After further desultory debate, the bill was
passed by yeas 41, nays 31. It reads as fol
lows:
