The . rhiladelphia Daily News—Ds Con,
thactore anti Correspondents.
We have no quarrel.with the editors or cor
respendents of the Philadelphia' Daily „Yews;
notwithstanding the former hav,e assailed us
with unprovoked bru&iity, 'aid some Of the
latter have cost us several hundred dollars
in the payment of their defalcations to the
Commonwealth. But in the discussion of the
removal question, the News has dragged in so
many irrelevant points, that it now
, b.ecomes
our duty to expose at least the fraud, it at
tempted to perpetrate while laboring for the
success of the stupendous wrong of. removal.
In the first place, the Nei:ps asserts that the
city .of Philadelphia now pays two-thirds of
the State taxes. It may be true that Phila
delphia is largely assessed, but 'it is also true
that the books of the State'Treasurer'will ex
hibit the fact that Philadelphia is to-clay in
arrears hundreds.of thousands of dollars on
her State' taxes, while at the same time th.
yearly appropriation by the tegislatUre to
support private and pnblic .charitable institn
tions in that city amounts to more than
all the money which is given
. by the State
to all the other counties in the ' Com
monwealth. The News farther asserts, that
so corrupt has Harrisburg become, that it
is now considered a, disgrace instead of an
honor to,sit in the Legislature. This is de
cidedly cool, when it is remembered that the .
bulk of the money used in corrupting the
Legislature comes from' Philadelphia, and
that neither that corporatiOn, or thecitizens
thereof, ever, seek an act'of legislation with
out the use of money. The people of the:ru
ral districts never sought the corruption of the
Legislature. That
. base business belongs to
Philadelphia. Money'is the god- there—and
with her money' Philadelphia . 'would; if she
could, corrupt all the branches of the Govern.
went, to build up all the interests of her
trade.
—The removal question has ribi% been set
tled. The vote on its finaliettlementfixes its
doom forever. Philadelphin will neler be the
capital of the Coniinon.wealth,...unlpss the power
of her corruptionists should.prevail over some
future Legislature, of which we have a notion
the people will hereafter have a care. In the
meantime let the News devote itself to abusing
the Inquirer, an abuse which is daily adding to
the popularity of that journal in the interior,
and rendering the Inquirer actually the most
valuable newspaper published in the-metropo
lis. Indeed, the Inquirer is the only Phila
delphia newspaper that now recognizes the
rural districts,.and resiectsinterests.
. .
All the other journals, of Philadelphia. are so
extremely "statesmanlike" .in ;their course,
and devoted so exclusively to'fbieig,n and Na
tional affairs, as to forget, the thrifty, induStri
ous, hardy and patriotic ppople of our moun
tains and valleY in the interior. • The people
understand these facts and'-'iogard the ; lit
quirer, notwithstanding its - abuse by the News,
as at present the only journal, üblished
Philadelphia which devotes a •fair, share of its
columns to the . advocacy and defense of the
great interests of penrisylyania, • ,
The Credlit-oir:PcnitsAirap.l4:
Many of the copperhe.al journals 'still (lon
thane ,to harp upon the justice of•sending
gold to England, to pay the - interest On the
bonds of Pennsylvania, held in that country;
while at the same time, the same organs are
endeavoring to impress tlfeir readers with the
fact that those WhO aclvocat4 a - payment of the
State interest in the currency worded by the
National Govermuent arc advocating repu
diation The purpose of. these organs is to
make capital against the National Govern
ment by destroying the poptdarity of its
credit, and render the Union .men of the
State odious by convicting then of a purpose
to cheat the creditors of the Commonwealth.
The question is simply this.;-Shall the
State pay according to its promise, an inter
est of six per cent. in the •• 'lawful currency of
the United States," on itshonds, - or shall it
pay nine or ten per cont.? IC is honest to pay
the debts of the State according to the terms
of its obligations, and that honesty which
affects to reach beyond-this point; is a little
attained. We cannot approve of that dis
crimination which would pay an Englishman
in- geld and an American in greenbacks. If
we were more English -than American, and
loved that county--y and People better than this,
perhaps we might lean to. the foreign side of
this question; lint as it is, we are content to
see the creditors ofthis State fare alike: Pay
all, or none, in gold. It would be a pity to im
pair the . ` credit_ of the State, but it is hardly
necessary kinky a bonus of three or four per
. .
cent. to save it. The credit of Pennsylvania
will take care of itself. It will neither re
pudiate nor yield to extortion in the discharge
of its obligations.
Heroes
We are called on almost every day, to write
in commendation of men who have performed
heroic deeds, of men whose valor on the field
of battle entitle them to the gratitude and
applause oftheir countrymen. There is no por
tion of our editorial duty which we discharge
with more alacrity and satisfaction, than that
to which we now refer. To applaud the gal
lant defenders of the country's honor—to en
-courage the brave-combatantsoftreason—and
shout the name of the heroes in loud peens
of praise, is not only a . labor of love but a
ditty of gattiotisM - in which no true man can
hesitate for a moment to engage. But, we have
frequently been impressed with the fact that
there are heroes of whom the country knows
little, and who are as deserving of applause
and admiration as are those who march stead
ily up to the cannon's mouth, who fill up the
breach, and who quail not before the sabre
stroke. The brave are not only to be found
in the ranks or in command of the army. .The_
gallant are not only those who rush into bat,
tle when death riots in havoc. And• yet the
world seems to think so. But the world was
never more mistaken than it is on this sub
ject. The world as it is now, filled.with cor
ruption, 'darkened by sin; and ready, as it
were, for its Emil damnation, refuses to recog
nize the hero who is'doing what is right —the.
honest man who is resisting temptation r the.
sober, virtuous and industrious people, who
are content to pass along noiselessly, laboring
for the good and the glory of the coimtry,
and satisfied with the achievement of these as
their greatest reward. -Thank, Gtl,Ahat the'
country is full of such men and women! We'dO
not liear of them often.—they aro seldom seen
thrusting-themselves on the attention of the
masses, bellowing for power or graTing. for'
gain; and yet, without thedd iromen,
withou,t their virtue and their integrity, the
country never could have survived. the terrible
three years of 'rebellion through which it has
just " passed. These are the herbineh and
heroes who deserve our loftiest admiration.
Those who do right, whose temptation is so
great to do wrong, are the truly heroic. Those
who shun evil, When its paths iire bright, and
when the way to good is apparently bleak and
dreary, display a valor rising higher than the
fierce courage of the battle-field. And theSe, too,
aro the heroines and the heroci whom future
, , ,
ages will bless, if not in name,, at leas t in the in
...
finenca which their works will aid in dispel* ?
ing• future blessings to mankind. The 'man
who patiently labors for tins support of him-.
self and family; Who dignifies his toil bY his
honesty and sobriety; who makes his' thrift
his shield against temptation; who hates
gain' 'if it is accompanied b' crime ;
who despises the lustre of ;riches if it
does not reflect purity of soul and generosity,
of heart—such a' man is a hero, more famoas
than those of martial reputation ; a,prince,
more worthy of . a coronet than, he Who traces
his ancestry:to bastardy and endirbis genea
logy in pollution! •
It is time that we pay-more attention to the
heroes of, honesty and the heroines of virtue.
It is time that the tinsel and the ribbons, whiph'
have so long hidden the deformity of accepted
heroes and heroiaea,be;'4pPed froni their
persons,.
"Give fdels theirsilks and, knaves their wine,
A man's aAnasui for.it'that."
It •is time that, merit, not presumption, be
recegui t zed in, til'it,4e departments of this
world's business. Whatever is worth doing
is worthy Of being-well done. Thus, too,
that which ie. Only . ..truly worthy should .be
recogized. We : should recognize this fact'
regataleis of whether it appears' in the zeal Of
an orator's tongue swelling with burning elo
quence, or whether it is heard in the simplest
words of truth humbly spoken for the vindi
cation of justice and the glorification of God!
The heroic, in man, is never so majestic as-
When it is truthful. The heroic, in woman, is
never so beautiful as whenitis.virtuans! He
roism sPrings from holiest labor quite.as
'rtovisly as it does from dauntlesd valor. We

live in an age of iron, not pinch-back. An
upheaval will shortly come—aye, must come—
which will sink to eterrd infamy the cow

THE REBELS LN THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY
There is ne truth in the report of the con

Valley, near Front Royal. The only rebel
force in the valley is Early's division ofEwell's
corps, which our troops there outnumber two
to one. Early's forces augmented by irregu
lar cavalry of Imboden, White, Mosby and
Gilmore, do not, in all, amount to six thou

fully confirms these statements. Something

Advices from the Army of the Potomac state
that a brigade of cavalry, under Gen. Bevin,
went out• yesterday to Madison Court-house
on a reconnoissance, and found a party of
about thirty rebels in the place, most of whom
they captured. No force of the enemy was
discovered anywhere in that vicinity, al
though it was crirrently'reportncl" that' they
had- crossed •the Rapidan, and l were moving
toward our right. The expedition returned
without any loss.
Or WILIIIKGTON, April 22.—We took off
this morning two more refngeies from Wil
mington.-'• They gave us•some very valuable
information of the enemy's movements: They
have reinforced , Mason borough with a regi
ment of infantry and a battery of artillery
from Wilmington. General Beauregard went
through Wilmington on the 21st instant, with
a large number of troops, on his way to Rich
mond.
The enemy are sending all the men they
can to the rebel capital. They say they ex
pect to be attacked from three different points,
and from the information which we have de
rived they are going to make a desperate effort
to drive our forces out of. Virginia and North
Carolina. . -
Yosnrowx, April 26.—A rebel deserter,who
entered our lines at Williamsburg 'yesterday,
brings intelligence of the existence of a con
siderable panic at Richmond and Petersburg,
the rebels living in momentary expectation of
the sudden appearance of one or more strong
Union cohnians.- Many of the inhabitants are'
moving further to the South, and the impres
sion is general that Grant's campaign will
eventuate in success, and that Richmond will
be compelled to 'succumb to the heitv7 masses
of troops moving under his command.
This deserter has served for along time past
in Florida; a r id succeeded in effecting his es
cape while on furlough at Richmond. ,He,
states that troops. are being rapidly moved,
forward frord all the Atlantic StateslO the
rebel capital. The utmost difficulty is experi
enced by the rebel- authorities in obtaining
transportation, and 'this is assigned as the
cause 'of the delay in the arrival of Long
streets corps at Richmond.
The roads on the Peninsula are, in splendid
conditicin for a movement of troops. There
has been no rain of a serious character for
some time, and but little difficulty would be
met within moving a heavy force, with all its
accompanying trains and artillery.

NvITH the view of meeting the extensive
popular, demand for this remarkable book, this
edition has been prepared. The page and type are similar
to those of Harper's Magazine. Some of the loss im
portant documents are omitted, and in some instances the
account has been condensed, yet never so as to interfere
With the interest or completeness of the wory.
Unquestionably this book stands pro-eminent in inter
est among all yet occasioned by the rebellion. Its sub
ject and autoor combine to render It fascinating. Fifteen
editions hare been called for as fast as they could be
pruned. It has been most warmly commended by the
loyal press of the country, and scarcely less so by a por
tion at least of the English press, by whom it Is acknow
ledged to be a complete vindication of GM Butler from
the malicious chaiges which envy and hatred have brought
against him.
It centains an anecdotal , sketch of Genenil Butler's
brilliant and remarkable career at the bar of Massachu
setts; a history or the secret movements in the Charles
ton Convention; conversations between Gen Butler and
the leading secessionists at Washington in Docember,lB6o;
the real plans of the traitors; Gen Butler invited to join
them; hit advice to Buchanan; his efforts in preparing
Massachusetts for war; the celebrated march, via Annap
olis, to Washington; his night march to Baltimore; col
lision with Gen. Scott; his course at Fortress Monroe;
the history of the contrabands; his advice to the Ad
