THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 15, 18114.
The National Cemetery
The American people have entered on no
enterprise, no work of patriotism,' since the
struggle for national freedom was made ne
cessary, which reflects so much credit 'upon
their gratitude, veneration and liberality, as
the project of gathering the remains of those
who fell in defence of the Union at Gettys
burg into one common cemetery. • This great
project of forming a cemetery on the battle
field, is now in such a shape as to need only
the liberal support of the people, to render it a
complete success. The livingare asked to con
tribute of their material means, that the dead
may have a resting place fitting for theirimmor
tel deeds and incalculable services. Contribu
tions for such a purpose will of course be
lavishly made; but in order that every man
may fairly understand the appeal made to his
liberality, we trust that the circular on this
subject which we print this afternoon will be
carefully perused. We commend this great
work to the support of every man arid woman
in the laud. •
Another Ground for an Attack on !Gen
Butle
Gen. Butler has given rebels and copper
heads another ground for_ attack, and denim ,
ciations of 14m will, no .doubt, henceforth
-ring louder than ever. It is announced that
he has " commenced the establishment of a
ca./Amon school system at Norfolk and Fortress
Monroe precisely like that of Massachusetts,"
and that "it will insure the education of hun
dreds of children." If his vigours mode of
dealing with the rebels at New Orleans won
for hith from Southern traitors and their North
ern sympathizers the name 'of . "Beast But
.ler," this last act of his is even worse. Who
does not know that education makes "Aboli
tionists"—and then to adopt the Mossachu
setts system, too !---`"tis too horrible." It is
plainly a great "Abolitionizing," anti-rebellion
scheme in which the wily Massachusetts Dem
ocrat is engaged—onewhich will stir all rebel
dom and copperhead-d. mto their lowest and
foulest depths. On, ye Vallandighanarners
your influence over the masses ,of the Sonth,
which depends on keeping them in iguoriluce,
is gone, unless you can counteract this last
fell scheme of the tamer of "she adders."—
Yon must find some worse name than Bast
Butler," now, for the contriver of this scheme,
in order to express your hatred of him.
TuE SPECULILTIONS Ls: GOLD.—Senator Sher
man's bill, to put an end to the speculations
in gold, meets with great favor. It is com
mended as a measure . which will do more to
relieve the burdens - now bearing . so heavily
on the people, than any la*- which Congress
could pass. We repeat our condensation of,
this bill, for the benefit of those intereated:
It prohibits ripeculative trausactionS in gold,
Maks all time sales of specie null and void,
and partial payments thereupon reclaimable
by snit, and it is made the duty'of District
Attorneys to prosecute such snits; the . money
reclaimed going in equal parts to the informer,
the District Attorney and the 'United states
Treasury. checks and drafts • not payable
at sight, given in such transactions; are made
void, excepting when they have, passed into:
the hands of a third person ignorant of the
agreement; but the person making - the - sale.
may, at any time within'the year, bring suit
for the recovery of the full amount from the
person to whom it wks made.

soldiers were settled at the Treasury Depart

remained on hand unsettled on the, Ist :Of

now in the Second Auditor's office, when the
necessary evidence can be obtained, will be
settled. But as a bill has passed the House
giving increased facilities, which will doubt
less soon be concurred in, by the. Senate, the

Already there is evidence of the inevitablu

would be more extensive.

person of adeserterwho, camp into our lines,
in which appears an article stating that one
hundred and nine officers have escaped from

It is supposed the - prisoners had been. en
gaged upon the work for at least a month.—
They were missed,at,roll call, and forthwith
troops were dispatched - in various directions
to capture them. Four were overtaken on
the:Williamsburg and Hanover Court House
road The others; it is sadpeetett, were )3e
°retell in the neighbbrhood of Richmond.
The guards-were,arrested on the belief that
they wereire-collutiion with the prism:Lem hut
were 'rtfterward released, the ' 'subterranean
mode of escape having became known.
The paper says that Neal Dow was ,not
*among the runaways, but was probably Wait
ing to aceompanY the,next batch.
The deserter. above referred to says a large
number of his regiment the Fourteenth Lou-.
isituta, are barefodt, and that the daily ration
consists of a qiirter of pound of meat and one
pint of Meal.:
Among the officers recently escaped= rom
Libby prison, are Corilonel Streight, Colonel
Tipfen,Major John Henry and Colonel Rod
gers, ut it is not known yet whether they
succeeded- in 'getting dear' of the 9131.131 tdo

The rations issued to the officers in prison
consisted of a quart of rice to sixteen men
every: eight days, afiniall pie.ce of corn bread

THE WAR IN VIRGINIA.
I .)'
The express passenger train which left Cam
den street - I depbt: on Thiarsday night, for
Wheeling and intermediate points, was cap
tured by a "company 'of rebels when near
Kearneysville depot, about eight miles :west
of Harper's Ferry.
It appears"that a switch had, been turned
and the usual signal, the waving of a lighted
lanip, made by the' "raiders" as the train ap
proached.,pi:i
The Signal cause the engineer to
stop the engine. The train' Was then 'sur
rounded by the rebels, and a number of
armed men entered the ears.
Who passengers, among wlpm, of course,
There was great consternation, were more or
less mulcted in the shape of ransom. Some
produced greenbacks, otheri watches, while
several reluctantly gave diamonds, rings, or
breastpins as equivalent .for their personal
liberty.
The aggregate amount of money taken
from passengers was not less that $30,000,
while the value of the jewelry was also con
sidered large.
It is said that klajor Harvey Giltuor r , of the
rebel cavalry, was in command of the expot
dition. No one was injnied, nor was there
the least 'disposition on the part ofd the
"raiders" to take any prisoners. Several
members of the' Maryland. State Legislature,
delegates from the western counties, were
,
among the passengers.

Froth the best information it does not seem
that they numbered over thirty-eight, and we
got ten of theta. Our cavalry bands are still
