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. -

signed to the command of the liilitariDe- k

will:be warmly welcomedby then :nds of Out
own and by all of General Siggs country
men. And we say so much not-to disparage
the great services of General Kelley, while hi
the same command—services which entitle
him to the continued confidence of :'the Go
vernment. The copperheads, who ) 1 4e
Sigel because he hates and fights against Sla
very, have recently been sorely a:,gonized at
what they have been pleased to intimate 'vas
the studied neglect of this fine °Meer 13y,,the,,
general Administration. Circu stance's have
interfered with his earlier assignment to
tive duty, and General Sigel, like a good sot- '
dier, Who -knowsthat obedience is a cardinal
military virtue, patiently bided his time. The
German citizens of the United States need no
such assurance as this to convince them of the
impartiality andliberality of the President;
but as a studied effort'is now making, in save
ral.gearters, to indice them, to abandon their
knoWn convictions, it may be - Wellto, show
how easily the efforts of prejudice are exposed

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

The only.relief for the people of ellparts'
of the State, is at once to.unite in a petition,
to secure.tl , ktiaissOf.ESAW to break down
an arrogant British monopoly, which now
rules the coal rqarket of the country. Wo

$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

- On the 18th, the expedition'reached Okolo

miles south of Corinth, ankl.Bondles south
east of Memphis. Here they heard that Gen.
Sherman had captured Meridian, And was ad

On the 19th then expedition marched to

road, ,where ,they captntsd and destroyed a
vast %nudity of confederate Corn. One column

Within a mfle of West Point. 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. Smith now fell back slowly, our troops
ambushing the rebels, as they advanced. The
rebel loss is quite heavy.
Gen. Smith burnt every trestle, on the Mem
phis and Ohio railroad, -and destroyed several
miles of the track and large quantities of corn
as we fell baok.i • •
On the 22d-we broke camp at la. if., 'after
resting only two hours. There was severe
fighting in the rear - all day.. As the roads
were ambushed at every avalable point, vol
ley after volteywas poured into. them 46shokt
range, but, having so much the larger force,
they continued to press our rear heavily. .The
rebel column moved on each flank, with the
evident intention of reaching the Tallahatchie
in advance of our force, and forming a junc
tion to prevent our crossing, and capture .the
whole command; but by forced marching Gen.
Smith passed both. the flanking colunititk.and
marching all night, crossed safely at New Al

riving at Memphis at 1.1 . ,p. at. Most of the
expedition, however ; 'stopped at OsllierevAle.
The following is an estimate of the results:
The expedition destroyed over one million
bushels of corm-tore upend destroyed miles of
n:1
the Mel)M's ,corn
and Ohio railroad track, hurried
many bridges and• tyestles, captured, and
:brought in over fifteeiChimdred mulei and
horses, about two_thousaml negroes, and over
three hundred rebel prisoners. 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. The
retreat was not, at any time, a root, though
there - was some straggling: •
The President's amnesty proclaniaticin, and
