ME PEOPLE'S &WIDE FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
HARRISBURG, PA.
WEDNSESDAY EVENING, ORE 80, 1864.
The Ihterest Paying question.
Senator M'Candless, in his able speech on
the question growing out of the subject of
paying the interest on the State debt, opens
with a very instructive, because very- truth
ful remark. He refers to the singular fact
that every Senator who has taken the position
that the State should pay the interest on its
debt in gold, indulges in the most violent, un
truthful and treasonable abuse of and charges
against the Government. During the entire
4iscussion of the question, the copperhead op
position indulged only in abuse of the Govern
ment, without adducing a single argument
in support of their claim that the State should
increase the interest - on its debt from six to
eight per cent. Nor , is it only on this subject
that the peculiarity is noticeable. In Con
gress and the Legislature, the opposition make
the discussion of every subject the pretext of
abusing the Government, simply because
this abuse is all that is left these miserable
demagogues with which to Strengthen the
cause of treason.
Senator M'Candless' speech, brief and to
the point, will be found one of the very
ablest yet delivered on this subject. • Eschew
ing generalities, and refusing to recognize the
political bearing with which the opposition
have sought to invest this subject, he discusses
the question purely as one of finance, in which
is involved the prosperity as well as the faith
of the Commonwealth. He regards both these
as worth preserving; and insists that it is not
necessary to maintain the one merely to afford
opportunities for speculators to lun their arms
into the treasury, nor is it right that we should
sacrifice the other that our enemies may be
come opulent and arrogant The reader will
find it profitable to peruse the speech of Sena
tor M'Candless, and we therefore earnestly
commend it to his attention. •
Ingratitude and Improprieti.
In the discussion of every question in which
are involved principles of economy, utility or
justice, every man of intelligence and refine
ment is sure to recognize something of pro
priety. Indeed, the true gentleman is never
divested of this amenity. But it seems that
there are those who, while professing to be
gentlemen, still lack the essential qualities
to which we refer; and among those thus
most obnoxious, the editor in chief of the Even
ing Bulletin, Mr. Gibson Peacock, may be re
garded as pre-eminent.• Mr. Peacock has de
scended into a personal issue with the people
of Harrisburg, unbecoming certainly of one
who has reaped so many large benefits from
the men whom he now so Wilfully libels and
so shamefaly insults., Had it not been for
the generosity of the people of Harrisburg,
Gibson Peacock might have been a bumpkin
or a blackguard, occupying a level from which
only his education now elevates him. .There
are those still living in Harrisburg, whose in
fluence and personal reputation are involved
in the fair fame of this city, who were abso
lutely the benefactors of the Peacock family—
men, by whose influence the lamented and
respected father of their, present vilifier,
was retained in office year after year—was
supported in opulent luxury for almost - a
quarter of a century—mid who, when he
returned to this city, after a few years'
absence, broken in fortune and health, kindly
welcomed and cheered him, soothed him
in his dying hours, and followed him to
his grave with that respect which only flows
from sincerity and virtue. Is it becoming,
then, in the son of a man thus generously
treated while living, and, fairly honored when
dead, to heap contumely and reproach upon
the, people of Harrisburg,? We submit it
to his better judgment, whether there is- not
an impropriety as well as an ingratitUds
in such a return for bountits and, blessin,gs,
which either evinces blackguardism or black
heartedness. Mr. Peacoek''can "have his
opinions on the -removal subject, and they
will not affect the question one way or the
other, as he is not the most astute journalist
in the Commonwealth. ,IBut we object to his
abuse. He, of all other men, should not at
sail-the generosity of the people of 'Harris
burg; as it was that which made his youth
happy and luxurious, his boyhood pleasant
and propitious, and his manhood influential
and prominent. And if we have ; written any
thing in this paragraph which may have,.a
tendency to wound Mr. Peacock, let him recol
lect that he invoked the personality by his
own impropriety and ingratitude.
Tni Tirs-FenTr LoaN.—The new ten-forty
loan is going off with more spirit, as capital
ists become convinced that the rate of inter
est will not be advanced. The continued rise
in gold makes the loan still more populat as
the rate of interest promises to be really 8 or
9 per cent. The government , has decided to
receive the ten-forty bohds in future, as se
curity for the issues of the National Banks,
and as the five-twenties are now worth in the.
market 111, the new loan has become an at
tractive feature for banking purposes as well
as for permanent investment.
tint:err/ or Nonni Divonoss.—An inter
esting question was decided by Judge Fitch,'
in the Court of Common Pleas in Liidas
county, Ohio, last week, in regard to divorces
granted by the courts of the, State of Indiana,
between parties who are, at the time of the
granting of the same, residents of the State
of Ohio.
Judge Fitch, delivering the opinion of --the
court, held that a divorce so granted could not
be recognised as valid or binding by the courts
of Ohio, and that any marriage contract in
that State, after obtaining such di v orces, is
void, • :
Rebel Hopes and Plans to Invade the Free
States.
We have repeatedly asserted that the con-
rolling hope of every rebel soldier, from the
chief butcher who is eking out his miserable
existence in Richmond, to his tools who are
executing his plans in the field, was centered
in the scheme which will control the spring
campaign, to invade the - Xbiillleast and 'North.
west. There can be no longer any doubt,
that, unless the rebels are able to penetrate the
free States at several, or ixt least successfully
at one point, the rebellion will collapse. The
chief traitors must then win decisiveyictories
the coming campaign, or their followers will
desert them on the field of their shame. In
deed, the most prominent and.influenti.aljour
nals in the South begin to see and acknowl
edge the alternative of attempting to invade
the free States, as her only hope of success.
The South has exhausted her sources of pro
doting and hence they must invade
the North to recruit among the copperheads.
As an indication of their plans and purposes,
We submit the following from a late Southern:
"ournal:
[From the Montgomery (Aia.) Mail.]
Early in the coming spring, with our trans-
Ati3SiSSippi army wemust invade . Missouri, and
with General Zee's army we must invade Ohio,
and with General Johnston's army move through
Sentucky.and Tennessee into Indiana and Illi
nois. Without this, if we,remain at home, ;mil
attempt to defend a thousand points from a
thousand attacks from an enemy commanding
our seaboard and navigable rivers, with ample
means of transferring their armies where they
choose, and with every part of our territory
assailable •to cavalry raids, our agriculture
will be ruined, and our 'manufactories will be de
stroyed. .
Let us invade them with our whole force;
Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and the "cop
perheads" wilt swell our ranks. -We want food,
raiment and gold. Let us,go and take what lve
need. The army will receive the order, "For
ward to the North," with a shout. There let
them stay until our ruthless : invaders cry for
peace. Betterdie there, with arms in our hands,
than.starve here and, expire in chains.. The, best
Protection we-can give those we; leave,behind
• will be to' get the helpless of the North• ashes-,
tages in our power. .
If ,our trans-Mississippi army advances
upon St. Louis, and the Virginia armylkipon
Pittsburg and Ohio and Pennsylvania, unless
the whole Federal army ie withdrawn from the
South to defend:Ohio and Missouri, Pittsburg,'
Cincinnati and •Chicago will- be captured' by
General, Lee, and Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
will be oven= by our forces, and Missouri
will be.rescned. But if the Federal army
should be withdrawn—as it certainly will be---
or else, if it should be ; greatly weakened.to de
fend St. Louis and Pittsburg, General Johns
ton can, without difficulty, advance to the
Ohio, and liberate Tennessee and Kentucky.
It is perfectly clear to my mind that, the, in
vasion of the North will effect these prime ob
eats.
1. It will free the whole South from the
presence of the Sederal .army.. The militia,
garrisons and our troops, not .in a condition.to
march, can protect our homes against the
small force they may :have to harrass it
2. It will supply us with all the horses,
equipments, clothing and articles of every
kind needed by our soldiers.
3. The retaliatory infliction of the horrors
of war will make the North desire peace, and
make foreign nations see that we have the
power to annoy our enemy, and dispose-them
to recognizeous. - • .
4. It will double our 'army instead of de-.
plating it. ' • -
6. It will end the war in our • favor in one
year.
THE GENERAL PUBLIC, who„haye stood, aloof
from , the speculations which have disgrace&
the stock market of late, but who have been .
made to suffer by the swindles thus practised,
are heartily rejoicing at the, losseetwliich are
felling- : on the bulls and bears. It is tithe that
the scorindrels who have amused themselves
for three years in playing upon the hopes and
fears of the industry and ; business of the land,
were made to sufferv.an&we really believe if
every speculating broker in the land was sent
to keep company with Vallandigham, justice
would have its due, at least, hemp was
invoked to perform its legitimate service:
Goy. CURTIN'S Arrakr, in behalf of the Saultary Fairs to be held in Philadelphia and Pitts . -
burg, is eliciting the generous approval of
the journalists of the state, by whom it is
kedicted theta will have a large influence in
inducirig contribrttiorti* aid of the soldiere..

TEE BAT= cox - RED BIVEB
'Crrr.cAoo, April 19:—The "J:ournars" letter
from Grand Ecore, dated the llth inst., says
our cavalry had been driving the enemy for
two days, but on the forenoon of the Bth sent
back word for infantry supports. General
Ransom, in command of the 3d and 4th Divi
sions of the 13th Cerps, was ordered to. send
forward a brigade, and he did so at noon. He
followed With the 4th Diiision, and' after ad
vancing about five miles from 'where . the 3d
Diiision of his commend' and the 19th Corps
were encamped, the rebels made a Stand, and
our line, consisting of . only 2,400
,infimtry,
formed in belt of woods with an open field
in front, andllie enemy in the woods on the
other side: 'Gen`eral Stone, of Ball's Miff
fame, was chief of General Barik's staff inthe
field, and took direction of - the movenaelits.
General Ransom was in faVor of advancing
only in force; but his wigli . 4as disregarded.
I After a skirmish across this open field for
about an hour, the enemy advanced . upon us
in overwhelming numbers, estimated at ten
thousand strong. General Ransontgot all the
available troops in front, and 'opened on the
enemy, who • lost • heavily,, but advanced
steadily. • '
'Soon all the cavalry give way, and the in
fantry fell hick. In a feW: moments the ene

cavalry so demoralized'the array that the, re
treat became a rout. The General did in,

possible without reinforcements, made' every
effort to save the artillery: .
