Etteffaio THE PEOPLES CHOICE FOR FRESIDENT,, ABRAHAM LINCOLN. HARRISBURG, PA MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 29,1864. the Senate Ready' for Business—The Leg islature in Full Operation. The Senate will, toi-Atight, at once proceed to business, and thus the Impediment which at desperate faction -hae - been pie - for many weeks to cast in the course of the regular bust ines,s of legialation,will be removed. Recogniz ing the well settled principle that the Senate isa perpetually organized body, with a qualified quorum constantly in existence, there will of course be no further attention paid to the mere form of re-electing the present officers of the Senate. The Senate will at once de vote itself to the regular legislative business now demanding its action, and in the delay of which the faction of copperhead Senatord have entailed on the people at least ,a million of dollars more debt. A principle so dearly bought will be hereafter highly valued by the people, and all future similar attempts to de lay and embarrass legislation must forever provided against. Perional. Wallace DeWitt, Esq., has entered his bonds as Prothonotary of the Supreme Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Mr. DeWitt succeeds R. E. Ferguson, Esq., who died on the 14th, inst., having only held the place since November, Wlen he succeeded Hon. W. H. Miller. Mr. DeWitt received the votes of all the Judges of the Supreme Court except that of Judge Agnew.' Of this we have official information, and- we are'only surprised at the blunder of the. Harrisburg Telegraph in announcing that Judge Agnew had voted for him. The Telegraph shouldOor rect its error, and it might add that One reason why Mr. DeWitt received the votes ct all the judges who'had been longer in - office than Judge Agnew, was that they were' ac quainted with him while he held the 'post of Assistant state Librarian, and his duties re quiring his constat attendance on the court during its Harrisburg sessions. - - The above extract, clipped from the Bulk. tin, was sent to us by some especial admirer of Mr. DeWitt. We did Judge Ague* full jus tice days before the Bulletin man asked for an explanation of our reference to that gentls: man, and we are fully. aware that Mr.:De• - Witt was well acquainted. .with :the; *judges while he was actingLibrariaiii but our Bul /etin friend ought to have mentioned at the same time that this indentical DeWitt, was spending the money of the State to fill the Lils brary with secession books and making him self generally obnoxious to the Union mem ers of the Legislature. But is the Bulletin awarethat the appointment was obtained with out the judges knowing the man? We cannot for a moment believe that suchmen asJudges Strong, Read and Agnew will tolerate his con tinuance in office when they are made ac quainted with De Witt's conduct for the past three years. Congressional Circulars We see it stated that a circular is going through the mails under the frank of certain members of Congress; for the purpose of ire pairing the immense popularity of Abraham Lincoln with the American people. It is ail' geed in this circular that the President should not be encouraged to aspire - to 'etiecond term of office—that if encouraged thus to'aipire, 'he is tempted to wield the vast patronage at his control to secure the realization of his aspirations, and that also, the one term prin ciple is now the fixed policy of the country to be applied to those representing the au thority of the Government. There is some thing so cooly impertinent in this circular, that we are almost led to laugh at the pretensions of those under whose frank it is laicrbefore . the people. But beneath 'Allis impertinence there is a spirit, of faction,•Whioh 'deservee a severe rebuke. Membere , of CongreSs were not elected to decide who are At. ormitfit for devotion to Executive power—and when they waste their time in discussing the policy are ; electing a President more than-one term, they are neglecting business which they aie £l* - 01 . 11 and bound to discharge. But as the circulators of this parliphlet are so conscientiously devoted to the one term principle, we earnestly trust that the loyal men in every district throughout the courttry- wherever . this circular -has - been franked by members of Congress ! Will apply the one term principle to , the members who thus, by their frank advocate its adoption: It is a-poor principle which won't work both ways. Therefore, let the one term principle, as it is advocated by members of Congress, be applied in the coming election for 'Congress men. - MA on GaNvaaT PakNs SIGEI, has been ea.: signed to the command of the liilitariDe- k partment of West Virginia.

Base Attempt to Prustrate Enterprising Competition in the Coal Trade. It is the duty of the American people to resist the aggression of corporate monopolies, with an equal vigor and 'boldness with which they oppose treasen. Between these two 'enemies of social peace and progress, mercenbry monop- olies in the shape of privileged corporations, are more to be despised and mistrusted than conspiracies against the permanence of the Cioverument itself. The former-fight in secret and with insidione 7eapons, _sapping ..the vitals of the peoPle and degrading the inter- ests of labor, whenever the effort promises the control of some new:_ resource --of2 :natural wealth--while ;the latter- invite - to open con flict, where the . test of courage and prowess can alone decide 'the' Imittle. Heitee„ we re . peat, it is our duty, the, -'duty of 'the people; and the most sacred duty of thosci in authority; to oppose with all the might of justice tliad all the force of-reason, the stupendous monopo- lies which are rearing. vast plans to control not, only the labor and the enterprise of the Commonwealth, and bring bOth-down ser- 'vile obedience to their . intereits, but which are absolutely aspiring to dictate 'to the gov ernment itself, and thus ignore all the other elements contributing to tbe life . and strength of the State. - We are led to these observations by the course of the Philadelphii,Bulletia. a journal which has of, late been persist ently engaged in slandering the Legis lature, charging 1 „ .corruption upon Sena tors and Representi:tiveS, because they enact .lawsi for the openingr'of roads to facilitate the transportation of Coal to Philadelphia. The Btaletin semis to at shielding the Reading and* . T.Abigh ,railroads from a fair competition. These ,corporations are owned and controlled . entirely by English capitalists-in ' fact, :the caPital as in Great Britain who have ventured largely and lost greatly in the effort to sustain the slaveholdere' conspiracy, look to , their stock in the Reading Railroad to bring them in a revenue sufficient in, make up .for all losses incurred on their investments in the struggle to break up the American -INon and destroy forever the lasi vestige of freedom on thetace of the earth. And in order to accOm; „plish all this, the Britishers must have a nopoly of the, inexhaustible resources cOnt tained in the territory traversed by these reads.. To secure this monopoly, American capital 'must not and ,dar.e.not - tbe brought into cora petitiOnWith -'l.liititilr;gold,;and, hence „any, effort to break up this monc:44iy i of; the coal tradain Schuylkill county and thetehigh- val ley, is resistedhy the Roading and Lehigh rail roads, simply because a division of this trade in coal in that region,would lessen the resources of the . British stoCkholders and controllers of these corporations, and 'to the extent that these would be 4prita' of'their income from.. these monopolies, jrist in "prOPorticiri Would, English contributions to the Southern traitors . be diminished. These are serious facts, and we want the people to `become acquainted with their magnitude and bearing. The Reading rail road company claim the Monopoly. of:the opal tonnage of Schuylkill county and the Lehigh valley. .The Englishmen Who own that road insist that AMerican capital shall not enter into competition for. the: ide of that region; and if consequence of this tyrannical assump-_ tion of au exclusive privilege, the people of this and all other States are taxed enormously for coal. ' As an excuse for the'high prides 01 coal, we are constantly reminded that the de mend exceeds all the, possible'efforts,to keep up 'the supply; and yet when the Legisla ture enacts a law to create new' facilities to increase the - supply and . orsanize branch. roads to convey sufficient coal to market to meet .the -.demand of the consumers, fraud and falsehood are resorted to, to' mislead the Executive and procure a veto. English capi ital, English diplomacy and English monop olists are thus enabled to trample upon the rights of the American people-;--to take ad vantage of their necessities and lob them with a boldness whioh induces John Bull to imagine we are a crowd elf; Quaker • cowards, .and he' among the 'bravest `.oi the - brave. ones of the world. •• . Atiling as the Beading railroad, has a mon opoly of , the tonnage of the vast.coal fields of _SchtLylkill county and the' Lehigh TalleY; `just so long will the people be at the mercy of the coal speculators. We are now paying don , • ble-the intrinsic value of a of . Coal, almost at the Month of the Mines. • We are i}YQ , this exorbitant and ruinous price; wherithe mining -season was never more favorable-- and every protest`mado • to 'those rates is : fit with the plea that the road leading to.

Wo are paying at least $2, if we are not spending $3 more per ton for coal, than it would cost, if branch roads were constructed to the coal mines . of the Lehigh valley—if the British monopolies in Schuylkill county were broken up,'and our resocrces left open to the fair com petition of our own people.

We lost one lieutenant killed arid five men wounded in the skirmish, and killed one rebel captain, cap turing a rebel major and one private. On the 21st we 'moved on West Point, and found Forrest, Lee, Chalmers and Roddy combined against us. They tried to cut our column in two, but without success. Very heavy fighting °centred, both in the rear and on the advance. The Second lowa had a number killed and wounded in their gallant charge. From two to'three hundred rebels hovered on each flank, while all the heavy fire in our -rear was con stantly changing. We have lost three field pieces, (four -pound steel guns,) - whieh were spiked before being captured. All their am munition was saved. Gen.

It is impos sible to give our loss, but it is mach less than: the enemy's. The expedition was- 'successful at every point; and in every particular, except the im portal:a one of making a junction with Gen Sherman, which is. 'attributed mainly to the slow movements of the New Jersey end Penn sylVania cavalry regiMentS, which caused a week's delay in starting the expedition.
