HARRISBURG, PA
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16, 1864.
Trade Unions
We see it noticed in the New York papers,
that the workmen belonging to the different
trades in that city, are forming associations ,
not so much to protect themselves in the
price they receive for their labor, as to insure
themselves against imposition in the price
they are forced to pay for articles of consump
tion. Remarking on this fact, a cotemporary
observes that whatever at the present time is
calculated to reduce the cost of living, is of
public interest and worthy of careful consid
eration. The idea is to provide fuel upon the
club system. That is, a certain number of
parties unite in the purchase of coal, employ
their own transportation, have their own
storehouses, and supply themselves out of the
common stock at the cost of the article, after
all expenses are counted in. In this way
all commission, which otherwise goes into
the pocket of the merchant, and which in
large cities become a heavy item, is saved to
the consumer. To illustrate the operation of
the plan proposed, by an instance, among
others of attempts now being made to carry it
into practice in New York—a certain number
of Masonic societies have arranged to bring to
that city coal, from which their members
are to be supplied at cost, thus saving them
everything like brokerage. Why the same
thing could not be done in Harrisburg as well
as in New York, provided it proves a success
in the latter place, we cannot see; nor do we
see any reason why the scheme should not
succeed, when the proper precautions are
adopted to secure judicious management. The
principle is unquestionably sound, although
it is plain enough that difficulties present
themselves in the working out of the theory.
It is by association of labor and capital that
the highest economy is attained. This is
daily proven in individual enterprises, and
why the principle might not be successfully
extended, so as to run through large and small
communities, and confer a general benefit, we
really cannot answer. It might be the case,
especially in instances ol Trades' Unions and
other mechanical associations,in which men of
limited means are chiefly interested. If through
such agencies they could succeed in reducing
their expenditures, the end would be aucom
plished,in a grera measure,which they have in
view in combining to compel increased remu
neration from their employers, and that too
without bringing them into collision with the
interests of invested capital.
We mention fuel, as the article in which the
masses of the people are most interested at
this season of the year, and upon which all
are dependent. But the policy which would
cheapen coal and wood, through combination
for their supply, would equally reach many
other articles of prime necessity. By a judi
cious investment of means in many things
liable to extensive fluctuation in the market.
an association could make itself indepeiident
of the tax which speculation imposes upon
the great mass of phrchasers and consumers.
The Soldier's Family.
In the midst of our preparations for the
holidays, we must not forget the ' soldier's
family. The dear ones of our brave defend
ers the wives and children - of the men who
are now withstanding the inclemency of the
weather and braving the deadly storm of rebel
bullets, that we at home may be insured a
Government and a country—must not be for
gotten. The nation owes a lasting debt of
gratitude to, and a present munificent re
membrance of the soldier's family; and now,
if ever, we all have a fair opportunity of partly
discharging the one and exhibiting the other.
The Governor of one of the Western States
has set a noble example to the Governors of
all the loyal States, in this connection. He
has issued a circular calling upon the citizens
of his State to set apart Saturday, the 31st
inst., as a day for general contributions to
soldiers' families. He says there will be much
suffering among them, and offers a banner
worth $lOO to the county that will do best,
and a parchment certificate to the individual
who will give the most. This is a proper
spirit and a practical working of what is due
to the soldier's family. Why should not a
similar proclamation be issued by the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania? Why should not a
banner be offered to the county and a parch
ment certificate to the individual - in Pennsyl
vania contributing the most liberally to such
an object? We believe that if the matter
were properly brought before Gov. Curtin, he
would issue the necessary proclamation; and
we believe, too, if the proper appeal is made
to the people of Pennsylvania, the contribu
tion would far exceed the utmost wants of the
families of our braves.
Br the message of Governor Smith, of rebel
Virginia, it appears that the expenses of the
Old Dominion, which, since the commence
ment of the rebellion, has been shorn of one
third of its wealth, resources, and population,
during the fiscal year ending October, exceed
ed the receipts by nearly eleven million five
hundred thousand dollars. The debt of the
State on the let of October, 1863, was thirty
five Million, to which the deficiency in 1864
must be added, making the present indebted
ness over forty-six million of dollars.
A Paovmzcn (R. I.) correspondence tells
of a man in that city who is taxed for $700,-
000. Some years since, one of his debtors
failed and settled with him by giving him a
few shares in a screw company, and this is
what has built up his fortunes. It is not
unusual for the company to pay ten per cent.
per month for months in succession.
A FISHERI4I.7 recently hauled up a silver
fork, marked "Atlantic," near the spot in
Long Island Sound where the steamer "At
lantic" was wrecked on November 27, 1846.
It is a very heavy, old-fashioned silver fork,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.
Major General John A. Dix, New York:
The following official report of the fight be
fore Nashville has been received from Major
General Thomas:
NAsnvnix., Dec. 15-9 P. ar.—l attacked
the enemy's left this morning and drove it
from the river, below the city, nearly to the
Franklin pike, a distance of about eight
miles.
We have captured Chalmers' headquarters
and train, and a second train of about twenty
wagons, with between 800 and 1000 prisoners,
and sixteen pieces of artillery.
The troops behaved splendidly, all taking'
their share in assaulting and carrying the
enemy's breastworks.
I shall attack the ezfemy again to-morrow,
if he stands to fight, and if he retreats during
the night I will pursue him, throwing a heavy
cavalry force in his rear to destroy his trains
if possible.
(Signed)
G. H. THOMAS,
Major-General.
Au unofficial dispatch gives the following
details:
NASHVILLE, Dec. 15, 10-30 p. —Our line
advanced and engaged the rebel line at 9 A. at.
to-day. The line was formed thus: Stedman
on the left, L.J.Wood, with the 4th corps, next,
A. J. Smith next, with Cox in reserve next,
and the cavalry, under WilsOn, fighting dis
mounted, occupying the extreme right, aided
by Gen. Crook on the river.
The artillery practice has been tine, am,. at
times the mtikketry firing continuous and
heavy, and though the casualties have been
light, the results are very fair.
The left occupies the same ground as
on the morning, but the right has
advanced five miles, driving the enemy.from
the river, from his entrenchments, from the
range of hills on which his left rested, and
forced back upon his right and centre. His
right pushed back from one to three miles,
with u loss of 17 guns and about 1,500 pris
oners, and his whole line of earthworks, ex
cspt about a mile on his extreme right, where
no serious attempt was made to dislodge hini.
The remainder of Hood's army is here, ex
cept the cavalry and one division, which has
been detached to threaten an attack on Mur
freesboro.
The whole action of to-day was splendidly
successful.
The divisions commanded by Gen. Kimball,
of the 4th corps, by Gen. Garrard, of the
command under Gen. A. J. Slnith, and the
cavalry division under Gen. Knipe, were un
der my observation, and I have never seen
better work.
Gen. Kimball's division carried two forti
fied positions by assault with very slight loss,
capturing at one point 400 prisoners and six
guns. No doubt the other parts of the line
did as well. I only speak of what I saw.
No intelligence has been received from Gen.
Sherman any later than the published dis
patches transmitted by General Foster and
Admiral Dahlgren. _
Army of the Potomac
“All Quiet Along the Lines.”
MURDER OF PICKETS BY THE REBELS
HEAD4LJETERS ARMY Or THE POTOMAC,
December 15.
Unusual quiet has prevailed along the lines
scarcely a shot being exchanged.
A report is current that a number of our
pickets watching the rear of the lines were
murdered night before last, and that in conse•
quence the force of men on this side has been
doubled.
Changes are being made in the disposition
of troops, but nothing to indicate an early at
tack upon the enemy.
The troops engaged in the late raid are al
most all in good condition, but some returned
from the trip with frozen hands and feet, and
others are ill, caused by the severe weather on
Friday.
Five deserters are to be hanged; two of them
are from New York, two from New Hampshire
and one from Maryland.
TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Passengers Burned to Death
A terrible accident occurred on the Grand
Trunk railway last night, caused by a colli
sion with the westward bound train near this
city. After collision several of the wound
ed passengers failed to extricate themselves
from tae weight of the oars, and were burned
to death. Two persons are known to have
suffered death in this manner, and it is re
ported that several others were as unfortu
nate. The full extent, of the loss of life has
not yet been sseertained.
THE SAINT ALBANS RAIDERS.
eueral Condemnation of Judge Courial'a
His Course Proved to be Illegal.
New Warrants Issued for the
Raiders.
QuitsEc, Dec. 15.
The Parliament, which usually meets on
February Ist, will be summoned to assemble
in the middle of January, when laws will be
passed to meet the emergency of the great
change of public feeling toward the Confeder
ates, since they have shown an intention of
embroiling the country in War.
The Cabinet had a long session to-day, and
it is understood that the members unani
mously denounced the act of Judge Coursal
in discharging the St. Albans raiders. The
pretence was that the Canadian extradition
act of 1861 was not in force, because it bad
not been assented to by the Queen in Council.
If the Judge had inquired of the Government
.he would have found that her Majesty had
specially assented to that act. He made•an
assertion against the validity of an act of the
Canadian Legislature without proof. It turns
out that this assumption was false. The At
torney General, it is understood, advised the
issue of new warrants, on the same night, by
the judge of the Superior Court of Montreal.
for the re-arrest of the raiders, Some of whom
have gone east, to Halifax, and some west.—
Officers are on their track, and they cannot
escape if they remain in Canada. _
The Canadiau Government has no legal
right to act directly, as the courts have inde
pendent jurisdiction. If the judges refuse to
do their duty, or act corruptly, they may be
suspended, or, in some cases, dismissed. It
is possible that Judge Coursal will be dis
missed.
QUEBEC, Dec. 15.---The discharge of the St.
Albans raiders surprised the members of the
Government, and the ground of the discharge
is pronounced ridiculous. The magistrate
is likely to be severely dealt with. New war
rants have been issued for the re-arrest of the
raiders, and constables are in pursuit of them.
An efficient military force is to be sent to
border towns immediately, to prevent further
depredations.
MONTREAL, Dec. 15. —The conduct of Judge
Coursal, the magistrate, and Lamothe, the
chief of police, is denounced. They are ac
cused of complicity. An investigation is go
ing on by Council, and it is thought that La
mothe will be dismissed.
TORONTO, Dec. 15.—There is a profound
sensation in regard to Coursal's decision in
the case of the raiders. The best legal author
ities pronounce -it contrary to law, and it
meets general condemnation.
Rebel Reports of Gen. Sherman's
Movements.
The steamer Crescent arrived last night
from Port Royal with 780 released prisoners,
and proceeded immediately to Annapolis.
The Charleston Courier of the 10th says
Sherman's army is reported still' moving to
wards Savannah. We learn that the affair at
Station No. 2 on Thursday was simply a
slight skirmish.

SOUTHERN NEWS.
FonmEss MowloE, Dec. 15
The Augusta Chrohicle says we had the plea
sure yesterday of meeting Capt. Chapers, of
Winder's staff, who is i our city in connec
non wilt — the confederate prisou oureau,
whose headquarters are to be located in this
city. Capt. C. informs us that all the prison
ers, at all points within reach of Sherman,
have been safely removed.
He also states that the 'vandals were so dis
appointed at finding that the blue bellies had
flown from Millen, that they had vented their
spleen on the defenceless inhabitants o f the
vicinity.
The Courier of the 9th says of Georgia
affairs: We learn that on Sunday last Lieu
tenant Reynolds, of Wheeler's Cavalry, with a
detachment of fifteen men crossed the Savan
nah river at Hupson's Ferry, in Beaufort dis
trict. He had been engaged on a scout, and
becoming separated from the command,
crossed into the State to join them higher up.
He represents Sherman's army as occupying
Branner's Bridge, on Brier creek, six miles
from the river, with all the roads towards the
river occupied and guarded. The opinion
seems to prevail that Sherman intends to at
tack Savannah, but if he attempts it he would
be badly defeated.
A report was in circulation yesterday, that
on the arrival of his forces at No. 2, he had
turned off in the direction of Sisters Ferry,
which would indicate an intention to cross
into South Carolina. •
The enemy near Pocotaligo, was reported
to be shelling the road on Friday. Abont 100
prisoners from Sherman's army arrived in
this city yesterday.
The Charleston and Savannah papers of the
9th and 10th have been received. They are
evidently bnt imperfectly informed as to the
movements of Gen. Sherman's army.
Beanregard arrived in Charleston on the
7th, and departed immediately for the scene
of hostilities on the Charleston and Savannah
railroad.
The Savannah News on the 6th says: The
Union forces again made an attempt to take
the railroad, but were repulsed and driven
back. On the 7th they were reinforced mad
renewed the attack, and fighting continued all
day and had not ceased at night.
The Arews adds it is no doubt a deter
mined effort on the part of Foster to open a
way for Shaman's escape. On the 9th a
skirmish with the rebel out posts, five miles
from Savannah, is mentioned.
The latest Richmond papers say official
dispatches say that Sherman has developed
his forces near Savannah. Hardee is in com
mand of the defences.
A report is mentioned of fighting at Coosa
wathie, and the article closes by saying that
the report was probably correct, as the enemy
have persistently endeavored to make a lodg
ment on that road.
