HARRISBURG, P. 4
Tuesday Afternoon, March 25, 1562,
OUR WESTERN EXCHANGES abound in long de
scriptions of the bombardment at Island No.
10, but the affair really presents few features of
interest which have not already been given in
our telegraphic dispatches. It seems that our
gunboats are not iron plated in the rear, and
hence can only fight head on, so that, as they
have to lie above the rebel position, with the
current of the river running down very strong,
they have some trouble to keep in fighting atti
tude. Were it not for this fact, they would run
past the batteries, and getting below them, fight
with head up stream. The strongest rebei bat
teries appear to%e on the Kentucky or Tennes
see shore, and the estimate of guns mounted
there and on the island is quite large. The
rebels have a floating battery, iron-plated
and mounting sixteen guns which has
not yet opened file. It was built on
the old Pelican dry dock of New Orleans, and
is a formidable looking object, not less than
two hundred feet long. The crew are protect
ed by a large iron apartment in the centre. She
is, however, without propelling power, and
therefore not dangerous. The rebel batteries
on the main land seem to have casemates. The
garrison is estimated at from fifteen to twenty
thousand men. A dozen regiments have been
seen on dress parade at one time. Since the
bombardment began the rebel tents have dis
appeared. Some of their guns are tismounted
or silenced, and the earthworks knocked to
pieces. A large shot struck the United States
gunboat Benton, tore off an iron plate, and
penetrated the wcod. No persons have been
killed on our side by the rebel fire, but quite a
number of the crew of one of our gunboats were
killed or wounded by the bursting of a rifled
gnu.
IT is AMUSING to listen to the talk and read
the productions of certain men, on the subject
of leaving the setittiment of opposition to sla
very to itself. These gentlemen declare that
"there has always been an opinion against slavery in
the popular heart, and if it had been left alone,
it would. have done infinitely more good in
crushing out that evil, than all the radicals
have thus far accomplished. These are grave
and sensible arguments, when we remember
that this adverse opinion of the popular heart
has been met with a fugitive slave law which
constrains every man to become a slave hunter.
They are enhanced by the fact that the very
men who thus prate about the popular heart
of the fres states, are those who have been
polluting politics with their prostitution to
to the slave influence, forcing every interest of
free labor to bend to its behests, and apologi
zing for its wrongs until the bloated audacity
of the slave oligarchy impelled it to attempt
the destruction of free institutions. We pity
those who thus, while fettering the action and
preferences of men, cooly ask that they should
be left alone in their sentiments to contend
with that influence which is allowed to arm
itself for all contests. This is very gracious
and condescending.
IT IS PRESUMED as SHREWD MEN that the Lieut
enant Colonel of the 84th Regiment, instead
of fighting by the side of his Colonel last Sunday,
gallantly at-sisting him while he was perishing
at the head of his troops,he,(the Lieutenant Col
onel aforesaid) was at home in this city, con
cooling and constructing the slanderous article
which appeared in the Patriot and Union on
Monday, so bitterly assailing John W. Forney
and other pure, loyal men. Doubtless he has
more stomach in such work for his pen,than he
can possibly have inclination to point his
sword at traitors. • The facts, too, in this case,
seem to justify these inferences of our friends.
Is it not disgusting and humiliating ?
MB GALLANTRY OP GENERAL SHIELDS at the
battle of Winchester, on Sunday last, was but
the repetition of those acts which have long en
deared him to the American people, and made
his name a tower of strength in every cause
which he espouses. He was among those who
performed gallant service in Mexico, where his
wounds were at one time pronounced to be of
such a character as to render his recovery im
possible. But he did recover, fought bravely
in other battles of that war, and lived through
the interim of peace, again to renew his loyalty,
by repeating his defences of his adopted coun
try.
HON. H. D. Ma..xwsu, has been appointed .
Judge of the Third Judicial District, vice Judge
Findley, resigned. The appointment was urged
on Governor Curtin by the unanimous applica

amount to nine hundred millions of dollark
Mr. R. J. BEALL, well known as one of the
oldest and most expert telegraphic operators in
the country, died in Washington city on Friday
last.
DEATH OF COLONEL WILLIAM GRAY
MURRAY.
From dispatches received in this city yester
day by Gov. Curtin, the crushing announcement
was made to the people that Col. William Gray
Murray, of the 84th Pennsylvania,fell mortally
wounded at the head of his troops, while
leading them in the desperate fight at Winches
ter, on Sunday last. The bloody fact, without
pausing for details, at once excited the regret
of the people of this city, and pierced more than
one heart with a poignancy of sorrow which
sought its consolation in silence and in tears.
Col. Murray was born in the city of New
York, and at an early age, with his parents,
moved to Lancaster city, where the family re
sided for some years. From that city, they
removed to Harrisburg. Here the father of
Col. Murray died, and here his family has resided
ever since. During the war with Mexico, Col.
Murray was made third sargeant in Capt. Wil
liams' company, attached to the second Pennsyl
vaniavolunteers. While serving in that position,
his gallantry at Vera Cruz attracted the atten
tion of his superiors, and he was made a Second
Lieutenant in the 11th Infantry, 11. S. A., by
President Polk.
At the close of the Mexican war, Col. Murray
settled in Hollidaysburg. He at once became
an active and energetic business man, taking
prominent part in the political struggles of the
times, and by his integrity and independence
winning for himself the respect and regard
which a brave man can only elicit from men.
President Pierce appointed him Postmaster of
Hollidaysburg, in which position he was con
tinued by Buchanan.
At the first sound of alarm and the first note
of treason arming for a contest with the na
tional authorities, the deceased promptly avowed
hie determination to enter the army and do
battle for his country. This resolution could
not at once be carried into effect, on account of
sickness in his own family, and yet as an active
and zealous military man, be was of invaluable
aid in his locality, by assisting to organize and
push forward recruits for the volunteer forces.
After the death of his wife, Col. Murray was
urged to organize a regiment, and his standard
was scarcely raised before his ranks were full.
He rallied to his rank and file some of the best
and bravest men that Pennsylvania has re
cruited in her quota. They were the hardy
mountaineers and sturdy farmers of Blair and
Clearfield counties, who, like their gallant
leader, enlisted to fight, and as he fell, they
proved their devotion at the ctonon's mouth
and the rifle pit, until, as the dispatches de
clare, "the 84th Pennsylvania was badly cut
to pieces while every man fought like a hero."
If we merely adopted the formal phrases made
use of iu recording such events, we could
only write that Col. Murray died like a soldier,
and found death where brave men rush to its
encounter. But he merits more than this at
our hands. His death deserves a nobler refer
ence than that which merely records the end
of common man ; because he sought the first
ranks of his country's defenders, and there, cov
ering himself with glory, he yielded his life in
a struggle for the right, while his wasted and
bleeding troops mingled their shouts of victory
with the sigh that broke its farewells to their
dying leader. The last words he uttered were,
"Forward, to the charge," and the last he heard ,
"victory, victory, victory."
No braver man than Col. Murray drew his
sword in our present struggle. No nobler
spirit has yet fell a sacrifice to the rebellion. He
has earned a fame which will secure a brighter
record than we can make for his deeds ; and as
he bequeathed his life to his country, so will his
countrymen devote themselves in gratitude to
his memory. His death goes to swell the num
ber of those who have been sacrificed by the
slave power, because they dared to interpose to
save the Union from dissolution and freedom
from destruction. His blood now cries to
Heaven for the vindication of that vengeance
which alone belongs to God, and as we trust in
His power, so have we faith in His retribution.
The dawn is not ye', but the darkness begins
to lift its curtains from the horizon, and in this
contest for the right, soon will the right
triumph !
Peace to the remains of the slaughtered WLTALIAM
GRAY Mustier.
CARL BCRURZ.
This brilliant and invincible orator has been
addressing various meetings of late, in different
cities of the loyal states—during which, with
characteristic energy and ability, he has been
dealing the rebellion some exceedingly severe
blows. Mr. Schurz is a soldier as well as a
statesman. No man more than he understands
the designs and corruptions of an arrogant
aristocracy, or is better fitted to oppose those
who regard the idea of man's ability for self
government with contempt. It has fallen to
the lot of Mr. Schurz to fight just such an aris
tocracy as is represented by the slave power ;
and to fight them, too, in the forum and the
field, until overwhelmed by numbers, he was
forced to leave his native land, and hunt free
dom and independence in a land more favored.
On this account, and because of Mr. Scharz's
great ability and experience, we consider
that the administration at Washington would
be doing the country and the cause of the
Union a great service, by calling Mr. Schurz to
a command in the army, instead of permitting
him to return to his pad, as a minister in a for
eign court. At any other time, such a posi
tion as minister would be well reposed in the
hands of Mr. Schurz, but at this jun:ture,
when thousands of his countrymen are in
arms, devoted to the Union and the Constitu
tion, he could be of invaluable and invincible
service at their head as their leader in the fu
ture battles of the country. We trust that
President Lincoln may yet deem it politic to
Confer such a command upon Carl Schurz. It
would elicit the enthusiasm and receive the en
dorsement of every loyal man in the land.

Mr. WILLIAMS, (Federal Relations,) made
report, as follows :
The Committe on Federal Relations have in
structed their Chairman to report,
That in accordance with an invitation ad
dressed to the Governor, by the Executives of
the States of New Jersey and Delaware, in reply
to her official communication, conveying the
resolutions of the Legislature of their State, in
relation to the defence of the Delaware Bay and
River, they, in conjunction with the Committee
of the Senate, deputed a person of their number,
to proceed to Philadelphia, in company with
the Governor, for the purpose of conferring with
the authorities of those States, on the subject
referred to in the said communication.
That the sub-committee so appointed, accord
ingly repaired to the city of Philadelphia, where
they were met by a like committee from the
Legislature of New Jersey, together with the
Governor and Attorney-General of the State of
Delaware, and that as the result of their delib
erations after a full and free interchange of
opinion it was agreed that they should reccom
mend to the Legislature of their respective
States immediate and urgent application to the
Congress of the United States, to make • pro
vision for the protection of the Delaware
bay and river, and the harbor thereof, by the
construction of one or more iron-clad gun
boats, or such other means of defense as might
be adjudged for that purpose, and that in case
the financial condition of the government
should interpose any difficulties in the way, the
said States should respectively undertake to
aid the said government by lending their credit
for the expenses thereof, in the proportion of
their respective represent ttion in the Congress
of the United States. In fulfilment of this
pledge thus given, your committee now have
the honor to submit the following resolutions
for the consideration of the Legislature of this
State:
Resolutions relative to the defences of the
Delaware river and bay,and the harbors thereof.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representa
tives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
1. That it is the sense of the people of this
State, that it is due to the great national inter
ests involved in the navigation of the Delaware,
and especially due to the patriotic and loyal
people who have contributed so largely to the
general defence, that no time shall be lost in
providing such securities for their metropolis
and the great interests connected therewith as
shall remove all apprehension of injury from
sudden invasion by either domestic or foreign
enemy.
2. That thinking of the danger by which we
have been so recently threatened inour harbors
and frontier from the introduction of new and
formidable means of maritime offence, it is in
the opinion of this Legislature that the imme
diate construction of one or more iron clad gun
boats or such other means of defence as may be
adequate to the occasion is an essential mea
sure of precaution for the protection of the city
of Philadelphia and all the important region of
country bordering upon the Delaware.
3. That in case of any difficulty arising out
of the possible pecuniary embarrassment of the
general government, the State of Pennsylvania
will lend its credit in aid thereof for such ap
propriation of any expenditure which may be
required for the purpose aforesaid—not exceed
ing one million dollars, as would correspond
with the other States bordering upon the same
natural highway especially interested with her
self in the protection thereof either by the pur
chase of so much of any loan as may be autho
rized for that purpose, or in such other manner
as the wisdom of Congress may devise and
recommend.
4. That the Governor be requested to forward
a copy of these resolutions to the President of
the United States, and also to the presiding
officers of the branches of Congress with the
request that the same may be laid before their
respective bodies. And that his Excellency the
Governor and the chairman of the Committee
on Federal Relations of the Senate and House
respectively be requested to proceed in person

ence with the proper departments and the ap

He commenced by avowing himself an abo

stones at him, many of which bit him. The
hissing was kept up for some time.
Finally Phillips made himself heard, and he
proceeded until something again objectionable
was said, when the storm of eggs was again re
newed. The aim in many cases was good. Still
Phillips persevered, and a third time was heard,
and a third time egged and stoned.
The crowd from then galleries the moved
