TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1864
Meeting of Conferees.
The Conferees from the counties of Dauphin,
Northumberland, Union, Snyder and Juniata,
appointed for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the National Convention, will meet
at Sunbury, Northumberland county, on Wed
nesday evening next, May 25, for the purpose
of discharging the duty entrusted to them.
Faithless Officers
Every man in the employ of the Govern
ment, if faithful to his engagements, has as
much, if not more labor than he can perform.
The Government, crowded with responsibili
ties, has scarcely any time to look after faith
less officers. Presuming upon the integiity
and patriotism of those engaged in the public
service, and believing that all officials feel the
necessity of promptness in an hour like this,
those at the head of afairs have scarcely had
time to look after the dereliction of their su
bordinates—derelictions which have only been
discovered by the aid of the urgent appeals
of those personally suffering therefrom. We
areled to these remarks by the statements of
a friend, called forth by the appeal of a mem
ber of the United States Christian Commis
sion, writing from the field on the subject of
the condition of the sick and wounded in the
military hospitals. From this statement we
learn that help is greatly needed in the hospi
tals. Surgeons are particularly in demand, as
the number in attendance is not only small,
but the work is of such a character as to weary
and break down those engaged, if they are
not relieved for rest and repose. Yet, in the
face of these facts, according to the state
ments of our informant, there are now a num
ber of idle surgeons in this city, absolutely
wasting their time in frivolous pleasure while
a sworn duty points them to their engage
ments in the hospitals of the army. Rebuke
and dismissal are not sufficient for men thus
derelict of their duty. There should be a
sterner punishment provided. The country
and all that is sacred to humanity call for the
application of penalties adequate to such
criminality; and if these loafing surgeons re
main in the city after these facts are made
known through this medium to the com
mander of the post, we trust that they will
be promptly arrested and held to the strictest
account. Let the example be speedy and se
vere.
A -True Republican
We had the pleasure, yesterday, of meeting
our young friend, Hon. L. W. Hall, of Altoona,
who was in the city last week in attendance
on the sessions of the Supreme Court. Mr.
Hall has many friends in Harrisburg, at
tached to him as well for his accomplish
ments' as a gentleman as for his good
parts - as a politician ; having, during a Sena
torial term, established a reputation for abil
ity and integrity as a legislator which older
men would be proud to possess. In this con
nection it is not out of place again to refer to
a fact contained in our telegraphic columns a
day or two since, that Mr. H. carried every
township but two in his county as an indorse
ment for Congress, having had as a compet
itor a gentleman who, several years since, re
presented the Blair district in Congress, and
who is at the present time regarded as one of
the ablest and most popular men in that part
of the State. To secure a nomination in a'
contest with such an opponent is' of itself a
high honor ; but to win almost the unanimous
indorsement of his own county, is a distinc
tion which few aspirants to public position
ever achieve. We congratulate Mr. Hall, as
well on second% of his own success, as for
the certaintS , that by his nomination the Biel.'
district will secure a faithful representative in
Congress. There are'few of our rising young
men with more of the qualifications requisite
for public station and labor than Hon. L. W.
Hall.
Goy. exams will open, in person, the great
Sanitary Fairs to be held, respectively in
Philadelphia and Pittsburg. The prepara
tions for these great enterprises in aid of the
soldiers, are on the most magnificent and
extensive scale. That of Philadelphia, it is
claimed, will exceed any. yet held in this coun
try, and equal those ever held for any pn-pOse
in the world. The buildings now being erect
ed, are of a dimension capable of holding the
structures lately used for the fair held in
New York, and still leave room for the trans
action of an extensive business. We antici
pate a large profit to be derived from these two
great fairs, as when the people of Pennsyl
vania undertake to do anything it is with
liberality and completeness.
IT Is Now vitaLY understood, that the efforts
of the copperhead pregs and leaders are divi
ded between the success of the slaveholder's
rebellion, and the schethes of the stock job
bers in the large cities. Any exaggerating
falsehood calculated to affect the stock market,
it is also believed, will aid the rebel cause; and
hence, whenever a copperhead organ devotes
its columns to the promulgation of lies con
'mining our defeat in the field, or of state
ments showing our inability to crush rebellion,
the fact may be accepted that such sheets are
either directly inthe pay of the rebel chief or
they are sharing the plunder of the stock job
bers. All this is a fair explanation as to, how
some journals that we wot of, manage to exist.
A MAGNUM= Naar Sonoor. HOCTS; 'at the
corner of Twenty-third and Catharine streets,
Philadelphia, called the "Andrew G. Curtin,"

"On to Richmond
Under the above caption, B. F. Meyers. ed
itor of the Bedford Gazette, (a sheet more sin
cerely in the service of Jeff Davis than the
Richmond Enquirer,) utters the following lan
guage:
At the present writing (Monday) the result
of Grant's campaign against Richmond re
mains in doubt. Already he has lost as many
men as composed M'Clellan's entire army
when that General marched up the Peninsula.
The loss of the Federal army, according to
telegraphic reports, cannot fall'iroich short of
100,000 men, killed, wounded and missing.
There have been about thirteen days of fight
ing, including the small battles fought by
Gen. Butler, which would average the loss
at about 8,000 per day. It seems to be the
hope of Grant to crush his adversary rather
by brute force than by strategy. As yet the
fighting has been indecisive, the Federal
troops having gained but one advantage, that
of Thursday, the 12th, in which they took
between three thousand and four thousand
prisoners and thirty cannon. On the other
°hand, Lee's army made large captures of pris
oners in the first six days' fighting, and also
took a number of guns. Six Federal Generals
are known to have been killed, viz: Sedgwick,
Wadsworth, Hays, Rice, Robinson and Owen.
Seymour and Crawford are prisoners. With all
these losses, however, Gen. Grant is still able
to act on the offensive, and it seems now to be
a mere question of endurance between the
contending parties. A great many sensation
rumors are constantly flying, and we caution
our readers to believe nothing until it is well
authenticated.
The utter recklessness and falsity of the
statements here made by this man Meyers,
scarcely deserve notice. He lies deliberately
and with malice aforethought, when he states
that our lossess have reached " 100,000."
He conceals the truth when he denies that
Grant has gained no advantage over Lee.
And when he claims that the batt!es thus' ar
have been indecisive, he makes a most fool
ish attempt to aid a failing cause at the ex
pense of history. Mr. Meyers was in the
House during the last session of the Legisla
ture, and was always loud mouthed in pro
claiming his devotion to the Government.
But what is the devotion worth which de
lights in depreciating the efforts of that govern
ment to conquer or exterminate, if needs be,- a
traitorous foe? We leave good men to answer.
In this connection it is not out of place to
state a curious fact, namely, that within the
last four weeks, every copperhead organ in
the country has been engaged in either ex
aggerating our losses in the - conflict with the
slave-drivers, of in depreciating our efforts to
conquer the slave-holding traitors. There is
a consonance in the tone of the copperhead
press on this subject, which is at once surpris
ing and startling. And yet while these hypo
crites are thus poisoning the public mind and
perverting the facts of history, they claim fo
be loyal men. There is a day not very far dis
tant, when such claims will be fairly adjusted.

LETTER OF THE .SECRETARY OF WAR
WAsEccelarox, M;ay 24-2 P. Id
Let me congratulate you and .the public
upon.the re-opening of the inland line of tele
graph. We take pleasuresin giving publicity
to the following letter from the Secretary of
War, which fully exonerates this company
from any suspicion of the loyalty of its man
ager, and alludes to the arrangements by
which the company is to have a line from the
Department, and a share of the public busi
ness.
To T. H. Wrim,sox, Prestdent—Six : The
investigations of this Department relieve
your company from all suspicion of being con
cerned with the transmission or publication
of the recent forgery purporting to be a pro
clamation by the President and countersigned
by the Secretary of State. The satisfactory
arrangements made by your company with
this Department will, I hope, do much towards
inspiring the public with a just confidence in
your telegraphic line, and loyalty, prudence
and discretion of its management.
Your obedient servant,
EDWIN M. STANTON,

SECOND DISPATCH.
The Wounded Being Moved from Freder
icksburg.
The Railroad in Running Order
THE MARCH TOWARDS RICHMOND
THE 21ST PA. CAVALRY TO BE AN INFANTRY
REGIMENT.
WASHINGTON, May 24-3 P.
The Star says the wounded are being brough
away from Fredericksburg as rapidly as pos
sible.
The Acquia Creek and Frodmicksburg rail
road is in running order, and the wounded
are being brought from Fredericksbfirg to the
creek by railroad, from which place they are
shipped to this city.
Several transports arrived here this 1.-m.
having on board in the aggregate, one thou
sand five hundred and ninety-ftve wounded
from Butler.
An officer from the ,front says it' is
an established fact in the minds of the
army, that we are to be in Richmond
precisely on the 14th of June—the calculation
we suppose being made on the basis of the
rate of Grant's advance per diem.
Grant has on many occasions struck out
boldly, and abandoned his line of communi
cations, and established a new one success
fully, and he - will uudobtedlY be as brilliantly
successful in this instance as heretofore.
Port Royal on the Rappahannock some
twenty miles below. Frederiaksbnrg. and• fif
teen miles from Milford Station, would afford
an excellent new base of supplies, and Rap
pahannock, some forty miles below Freder
icksburg, would afford yet another, in ease
Grant shall need it in his further advance to
wards Richmond.
Belle Plain and also the road leading from
Fredericksburg to Spottsylvania Court House
could thus be abandoned, at any time, with
out interfering with the supplies of the army.
The 21st Pa. Cap-., Wm. H. Boyd, Col., had
been made an infantry regiment.

The Governor had proposed to.the Chem

The money paid to Senimes for the Sea
Bride was raised on forged papers, and one of
these forgers has died of fright, while th e
other is working out a five years' sentence.
It is said that the Sea Bride, not having any

LEE'S EIGHT FLANK EFFECTUAL= TURNED—
OUR ADVANCE EIGHTEEN MILES SOUTH OF
SPOTTSYLVANIA ON SATURDAY—LEE FALLING
BACK—HARD FIGHTING EXPECTED.
NEW Yana, May 24.
The Times of to-day contains the following:
Gunrs..t.'s STATros, May 21-7 P. M.
The Army of the Potomac is again on the
march toward Richmond. During the night,
Hancock's Corps, which had held the left of
our lines in front of Spottsylvania Court
House, took up its march, moving on the road
parallel with the Ny river. Early this . morn
ing it reached Guinea's Station, on the.
Fredericksbnrg and Richumond railroad, 12
miles due south of Fredericksburg.
Thence it pushed onward, following the
railroad, and to-night finds the head of Han
cock's column at Bowling Green,
eighteen
miles south of Fredericksburg. The other
corps have been to-day following the same
general line, and the Fifth is now passing the
point at which this dispatch is dated. You
will observe from these indications that the
Commanding General has effected a turning
movement on the right flank of Lee, who is
now hastily falling back to take, up .a fresh
defensive position. It is expected that his
next stand will be on the South Anna River,
although he may endeavor to hit us while
moving by the flank, just as he did when out
flanked in his lines on, the Rapidan. . •
Heavy firing ,, in fact, is this moment heard
across the Ny, where one of our columns is
moving. , A. mile south by west of Guinea's
Station is the point of confluence of the Po
and Ny Rivers, and at this point the stream
is crossed by Guinea's Bridge, which is in our
possession. The river south of the junction
of the Po and the Ny is called by the inhabi
tants of the country the Mattapony, although
the Mat and Ta, its other two affluents, do
not enter it 'till we -reach a point a dozen
miles south of this. ,
Our army is now all gone from the front it
has held before -Spottey4anitt Court House
for the past two weeks,And.the lines of Spott
sylvania pass into lustoris They are associ
ated with fighting as desperate as was ever
made by embattled foes, and by the greatest,
valor on.the part of both armies. Its woods
sepulchre .thousandi of. -bodies of brave men.
perished, in the great cause for which this
army marches and fights and suffers.
You will notice by the map that our, present
front, while it puts us in a very advantageous
position in regard to the enemy, at the same
time perfectly covers our communications,
which are by way of Fredericksburg and Ac
qpia Creek. The railroad will soon be open
from Acquia Creek to Fredericksburg, and
will doubtless be put in order south of that
point as we advande: :There' are also several
available points of water communication by
the Rappahannock, as at Port Royal, &c.,
which will probably be used.
I should misrepresent the conviction of the
soundest heads in this army if I should con
vey the impression that our progresS is to be
now only a triurnhpal march. We, shall
be met by the most, obdurate resistance which
skill and courage on the part of the, enemy
can command. But General Grant has given
you the key-note of the sentiment of his ar
my: we shall go through with this business,
"if it takes all summer to do-it"

ELECTRICITY.
TIES. NY lIITH and CREAMER, Eclectic
and Electrupathic physicians, respectfully offer
them professional services in all the various branches of
the profession, for the treatment of all acute and chronic
forms of disem..
The remedial means they employ in the treatment of
disease consist of Magnetism, Galvanism, Electro-Magnet
ism,. the Swedish method of Localized movement cure, a
few Eclectic medicines when deemed necessary; and in
fact all the natural curative agents that may successfully
be brought to bear upon the disease.
They dog not wish to be understood as arrogating to
themselves any superiority of professional skill; - brit they
believe the remedies they employ in the treatment of dis
ease far superior to those generally employed byphysicians,
from the fact that they act in perfect harmony with the
laws governing and controlling the human system. To
this, and the fact that they confine themselves to no par
ticular play or system, they attribute their success I
controlling disease.
The principal agent they employ in the treatment of
disease, namely, Electricity, is an agent wonderful in its
phenomena and powerful inks effects for good or ill. It
is an ever present, all-pervrding principle, governing all
things, from rolling worlds down to the invisible particles
of gassemis matter. We see it in the lightning's flash and
Lear the manifestations of its power in the muttering
thunder. It is the cause of all decomposition, mcompo
siti on and transformation. It excites all motion. It is the
exciting cause of life, growth, decay and death. It
causes secretion, excretion, digestion. It lays hold of the
crude food in the stomach, converts it Into a state of flu
idity, transmutes it into arterial blood, and sends it on tte
important office of supplying nutriment according to the
necessities of the body. It is the nerve vital fluid, the
great agent through which the mind facts upon the bodys

These may appear like mere assertions, but they as.
facts admitting of strong and irresistible proof. Is it then,
to be wondered at that an agent so wonderful in its-phe
nomena, so.powerfol in its manifestationsand so intimate
ly connected with all the operations of the human sys
tem, should be almost absolute in its power of controlling
disease ? ffertainly not. It is a natural sequence and
follows as surely as day follows night.
Among the diseeses which are found to yield readily to
Electricity, in conjunction with proper adjunct treatment,
may be mentioned the following; Incipient Consumption,
Paralysis, Elpiliptic, Hysteric and other Convulsions;
Neuralgia, in its worst forms, Rinsematissis, inflammatory
and chrehic; all diseases or the nervous system; Dyspep
la cured in a few treatments; all diseases of the urinary
and genital organs; Female Diseases, Asthma, Piles and
Prolapaus Ant; Amaurosis and all kindred elections of
