TESTIMONY OP FRANCIS 11. 111.11111XAM.
Fetaxers B. Perelman being duly sworn
according to law, testifies as follows ;
By Mr. Keine. Were you at Harrisburg
before and at the time of the election of the
United States Senator, and where do you reside,
and what is your business?
Witness. I was here ; I reside in Honesdale,
Wayne county, and am a farmer, if any thing.
By Mr. Keine. Do you know of any im
proper influences or any improper attempts
being used or made for the purpose of securing
the election of any particular person to the
United States Senate, and if any, please state
fully all you know on that subject?
Witness. Id 3 not know of any such influ
ence,or any attempts at such.
By Mr. Keine. Had you any communica
tion, either by writing or telegraph or other
wise,
at any time after the October election,
with any person who was a candidate for
United States Senator before the Legislature,
and if so, state fully on that subject ?
Witness. Sometime prior to the meeting,
or during the first week of the meeting of the
Legislature, I received a letter from Mr. Cam
eron stating that he would be at Lewisburg
all the week, at his father's, and requesting me
to meet him there ; I replied I could not ; I
afterwards reeevied a telegram, which stated
that General Cameron was in the office at
Sunbury, and requesting me to take the evening
train and meet him there; I replied that there
was no evening train to Sunbury, and that, as
there was a train from Sunbury to Scranton, if
General Cameron would come to Scranton I
would drive over there and meet him; we met
there that evening.
By Mr. Keine. Was there any one with you,
and if so, whom ?
Witness. Mr. Charles S. Minor was with
me.
By Mr. Kline. At that interview between
you, Mr. Minor and Mr. Cameron was there
any arrangement proposed by ich any
member of the Legislature shoal procured
or induced to vote for any particular candidate
for United States Senator, and if so, state fully?
Witness. Mr. Calderon was aware that Mr.
Minor and myself, along with our class of Re
pttblicans, had supported Mr. Nelson against
the Republican candidate, and Mr. Cameron
wanted to know the facts of the canvass, and
whether we had such claims on Mr. Nelson on
account of our action during the canvass, that
we could induce him to support General Cam
eron for the United States Senate ; I replied
that I was in favar of Mr. Wilmot, and that in
ease Wilmot could not be elected, I was willing
to support him or any other Republican, but
Abet I thought Mr. Nelson could not be induced
to vote for any but the Democratic nominee, as
I had had a conversation with him prior to my
receiving the letter from Mr. _Cameron, in
which he bad said he was the regular nominee
of the Democratic party and would support
their nominee.
SOLDIER'S LETTER.
Correspondence of the Patriot and Union
CAMP Vraxt, VA., April 4, 1863.
Marro. Edi!ors :—Wo are still lying at this
place and not much prospect of being removed
until our time expires. If this be so, we will
not have muoh to relate to or friends on our
return. But I might be mistaken, for the
rebels may try to take this place—since the
removal of the Ninth army corps from Newport
News—and then we Would get a chance to try
our hand. They might thiek of trying their
Merrimac, No. 2, with their land forces ; but
this does not look very likely, although rumor
would have had it so long ago. There was only
part of the Ninth army corps went to Suffolk
—the rest, went to Tennessee, and passed
through, your place. Our regiment received
pay on the 30th of last month up until the
28th of February. The greenbacks are very
welcome visitors amongst the soldiers, and the
Government Shoulittry not to delay their "lens
of this kind longer than two months.
They have not cc inmenced enrolling men for
the next oeneOription yet. Ido not know why
they are delaying it. But, poor man, take
oars if it falls to your lot ; no difference if you
have a wife and ohildren—you must go, for
you have not got -three hundred dollars to pay
to save you from being a soldier—and you are
the person who
,has the least at stake in this
war. But, rich man, you need not fear, for
you canard will pay Tour fine before you will
go as a private in the ranks. But Ido not
doubt you would sosept an effiee of some kind,
why a Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Qnartermas:
ter, ColoneVor Sutler, or almost any office if
it would pay.. Going as a private you cannot
rob the government—you must be an officer—
and you oily have to inquire of those who now

native speeches in the North are already crew

them—they see by these speeches (hit there
is no hope of the radicals ever getting this
Union divided, and the sooner they come back'
the better. This is the only way you Can cre

knows if we can get them divided we can easily
bring them back into the Union. By good
words is the only way you can divide them; it
is not by harsh acts or threats that this is ac

the conservative party you mean the Demo

for there are conservative men in the Repub

men who are opposed to the Abolitionists are
the men who will have to restore this Union,

Harrisburg, March 28, 1863.
NOTICE.
The WEEKLY PATRIOT. AND UNION, which
will go to press on Wednesday morning, will
contain the report of the committee on the
Cameron bribery case in full. Those desiring
extra copies must leave their orders by 10
o'clock a. m., on Tuesday.
The press of heavy matter has, far some time
past, excluded from our columns their usual
variety. We trust our readers will bear this
necessity patiently a few days longer,
,when we
shall have finished the batch on hand, and be
able to make our columns more generally in
teresting. But, notwithstanding their formida
ble proportions, we trust every one who takes
the PATRIOT will read the report and testimony
in the Cameron bribery case. It is a subject
in which the people are all interested, and is
well worthy their attention. After the publi
cation of the testimony shall have been com
pleted, we shall take the liberty to call public
attention to the prominent facto and circum
stances in our own way—which will differ some
what from that of •the committee.
The Telegraph asserts, ia reference to the
Ilerks county affair, that a hundred or two
armed Copperheads assembled for the purpose
of rescuing traitors. We believe the truth to
be that, although two or three hundred of the
population of the Heidelbergs, old and young,
halt and blind, went into Reading to see what
had hymn of the prisoners, Huber, Illig &
Co. ; not one of them was armed, and no dis
turbance of the peace, except such as origina
ted with the Union Leaguers, took place er
was threatened. As to the people assembling
together "in barns and on dung heaps" to or
ganize secret societies and bind themselves by
oath, we do not see that they are any more
culpable than the Union Leaguers, who are
banded together as a secret oath-bound organ
ization. Both are wrong—both should be
biandod with public reprobation. But if the
one is tolerated, there is no reason why the
other should be denounced. They are equally
the enemies of social order, lioerty, law and
good government.
Saturday evening's N. Y. Herald say a ru
mors aro afloat that the government intend
laying an embargo on British ships and pro
perty in retaliation for the depredations of the
Confederate privateers (furnished by the En
glish) Upon our commerce, and that this Ml'
!largo will be enforced against British ships
and property without any declaration of war
against England. Mr. Seward, it is said,
quotes British precedent for this step—Lord
'l 3 almerston having i in 1852, blockaded the
Dutch coast and laid an embargo on Dutch
s hipping without making a declaration of war.
'Connecticut.
;1 4 11b 1 3'iieiitionists continue to crow over the
result of the Connecticut election, We admit
that they carried the State ; we have already
shown •by what means they carried it; now let
us see how much they gained, and what is the
extent of the victory which they hail with such
apparent rapture.
The Bridgeport (Connecticut) rimbleeme
Farmer, after enumerating and commenting
upon the vile means resorted to by the admin
istration and its Abolition partisan supporters
to carry the State, - concludes with the follow
ing remarks and summing up of the result:
"All these expedients were need to the
utmost, of their ability, and yet, with the great
aid derived from their joint application to the
object in view, they have been able to little
more than save themselves. Last year the
vote stood, tor Buckingham 89,782, for Loomis
30,684. Buckingham's majority 9,148. This
year the vote stands, for . Buckingham 40,666,
(errors eXceptoli,) for Seymour 38,141. Buck
ingham's majority 2,525. Democratic gain
6,623.
" This is not all. In the Senate, where last
year we had not a single member, we now
have eight certain, and may have nine; and
in the House, where we had only fifty-eight,
we now have about one hundred members.
To. accomplish ouch results, against the
extraordinary means and influences brought
to bear directly upon us, is no small achieve
ment; indeed, in everything essential, it is a
victory—and must be so regarded."
If the Abolitionists can find anything par
ticularly gratifying in such a victory, they are
entitled to the fullest enjoyment of it. We are
satisfied, and if they are, it presents the sin
gular fact of two patties to a virulent political
contest mutually pleased with the result.
S. K. J.
A few facts not heretofore given in relation
to the means used to carry the State for Buck
ingham and elect the Abolition candidates for
Congress, may not be uninteresting. A New
Haven correspondent of the New York Express
says: "The army of the Rappahannock must
have had extracted from it every Republican
in the Connecticut regiments—while not a Dem
ocrat has been permitted to comehome." The Hart
ford Times says Gen. Ripley, of the United
States Ordnance Department, came there on
the Saturday preceding the election, in uni
form, and admonished the contractors in Colt's
armory that the Government would not fur
nish work to those who voted against them—
whereupon the contractors informed their
Workmen that their situations depended upon
their votes. This was the case wherever the
Government held power over the workingmen
of the State. It was exercised mercilessly, as
it was in the private corporations of whatever
description. A bold woman was taken from
Government employ and sent, on full pay,
strolling through the State making speeches
and orgaalzing Womens' Union Leagues, one
of the features of which was proscription in
trade and social intercourse of all who refused
to come under their standard. In fact no
means, either of enticement or compulsion,
were left untried—and yet, after all, the State
was barely carried. In Fairfield county, where
upwards of three hundred Republican soldiers
were voted, the Democratic gain over last
year's vote was 1216, electing the entire ticket.
Last year the Republicans carried the county
by over 1000. In the 10th district, last year,
the Republican Senator was elected by 218 ma
jority—this year the Democratic candidate was
elected by 867. The 11th Senatorial district
was last year Republican by 884—this year
Democratic by 41. While English, the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress in the New Ha
ven.distriot, is elected by over 1000 majority,
Deming, the Abolition candidate elected in the
Hartford district, has but about 20 majority.
A gain of nearly 7000 on the popular vote,
of eight or nine State Senators and over forty
Representatives, besides a Democratic judge in
the Bridgeport district, will do very well—in
fact we believe we have a better right to burn
powder over the result and to fling up our hats
and hues% than the Abolitionists had. But
our forte is modesty—we are not ambition to
make a noise, in the world, and, at all events,
are too accustomed to victory to make fools of
ourselves when we achieve one.
Several large stocks of dry goods, clothing,
&e., were seized in Evansville, Indiana, on the
9th, and their owners arrested for smuggling.
From the Army of the Cumberland, General
noseorana, we have the following items :
some excitement was produced at Ifflrfpees
boro' on the 9th, in consequence of heavy
firing towards Brentwood. Strong bodies of
troops were under arms in anticipation of an
attack upon Franklin. It appears that the
anticipation was realized, for a dispatch from
Nashville of the 10th says:
Gen. yan Dorn's whole force attacked Gen.
Granger ito-day at Franklin. After a severe
fight, which lasted two hours, the rebels re
treated, leaving their dead' on tha field. The
casualties on either side have not yet been
ascertained. Near Lavergne, to-day, a pas
senger train on the Nashville and Chattanooga
railroad was attacked by a rebel force not less
than 200 strong. Ten or fifteen of the guards
of the train were killed or wounded, the Wain
destroyed; and the track torn up. It is repor
ted that a rebel force also attacked a train on
the Louisville road, and run it off the track.
Two hundred and twenty-five rebel prisoners
left here, for Louisville, this morning.
Scouts from Manchester and Tullahoma, who
came into Murfreesboro' on the
.Dtb, report the
rebel Gen. Tilghman at Manchester, with
twenty-two hundred men and four guns. Bragg
is at Tullahoina with twenty-five thousand
men ; Polk, with eight thousand men, at Shel
byville,' and Van Dorn's and Forrest's whole
command, estimated 'at 12,000, is in front of
our right frank: Bragg bad recently shot
thirty deserters within one week. Ms Ten

Reports that the rebel army is reduced to

alry and infantry are at Waterloo and other
points. These reports seem to indicate an in
tention to move troops from Vicksburg to'co
operate with Bragg.

you may depend on it the siege of Vicksburg'
will be abandoned. The new canal does

promise to be a swoon. Important expedi
tions have been sent out from Grant's army,
from which we shall soon'have good news.
Saturday afternoon', telegraph furnishes the fol
lowing :
By the latest arrival at New York from Liv
erpool intelligence has been received that the
Confederate loan had declined to tot pre
mium. In the House of Lords, Lord Strath
den called attention to the expediency of
recognizing the Confederate States as a step
.towards peece. Earl Russell showed that the
present condition of the South was entirely
ditfirent from other countries when negotia
tion took plaoe. The war was still going on
with the utmost vigor, and a large portion of
the Southern territory was still occupied by
the North. No doubt in former times England
had interfered in such cases, but it had ever
been in behalf of independence, freedom and
the welfare of mankind. He should be sorry
indeed if the interference of England would
ever bear another character, and hoped her
intervention would always be on the side of
liberty and freedom. He trusted England might
be able to continue her neutrality. The sub
ject was then dropped.
In the House of Commons Lord Palmerston
said communisations had passed between the
Washington Government and Her Majesty's
relative to President Lincoln's proposition for
a convention to settle violations of neutral
rights. The English Government did not ob
ject, but there were considerable difficulties to
remove in matters of detail. Mr. Bright pre
sented a petition from the Union and Emanci
pation Society of Manchester, calling the at
tention of the Government to the construction
of war vessels for the Confederates, asserting
that foyty ships were building under pretence
of being for China, and demanding Govern
ment watchfulness and interference. Mr.
Foster said he would call attention to the sub
ject on the 27th, (March.)
LATEST MOH CHARLESTON.
The Richmond Whig, of Friday, contains the
following dispatoh :
CHNBLESTON, April 8, 8 o'clock, p. m.
All is quiet thus far to-day. The people and
troops are in high spirits at the result of,yester
day's fight. The Keokuk is certainly sunk. The
fighting yesterday was chiefly at a distance of
900 yards. The Monitors cannot pass Sumpter
without coming within 500 yards. The impres
sion is very general that the enemy will renew
the attack atter repairing damages.
A second dispatch, 10 o'clock, p; m:, says :
The latest official intelligence from the Bar
states that only two of the iron-clads have
gone south,leaving Well remaining besides the
Keokuk, which lies sunk about a thousand
yards from Morris Island. The Yankee ma
chine called the Devil, designed for the remo
val of torpedoes, has floated ashore and fallen
into our hamds. All is quiet. The enemy is
constantly signalling but no attack is anticipa
ted before to-morrow. The Yankees hare been
busy all day repairing damages;
Lasun—A Charleston dispatch of the oth,
(morning,) says:
All quiet this morning, the Monitors still in
sight. Yesterday evening many pieces of the
Keokuk's furniture, with spy glass, etc., were
washed on Morris Island beach. Many of
these articles were covered with clotted blood.
The impression prevails at our batteries that
the slaughter on board the Keokuk was ter
rib*"
The rebel dispatches state that in . the en
gagement of the 7th all the monitors were fre
queVy hit, but results arta unknown. One
gun in Fort Moultrie wss dismounted, and one
man wounded.
BALTIMORE, April 12.—A steamer, with dis
patches from Admiral Dupont, arrived this
morning, and the bearer of dispatches went to
Washington on a special train. The news
brought has not yet been promulgated.
The situation of General Foster at Little
Washington is still precarious. With only 1,800
men under him, be has 10,000 rebel troops in
front of him and on his flanks, while oommu
nioationswith Newbern by , the river is cut off
by strong rebel earthworks. The steamer Syl
van Shore, which attempted to run the batter
ies, had been repulsed and compelled to return
to Beauford with the loss of severarof her crew.
The rebels are even threatening Newbern and
Plymouth. At the former place the troops
sleep in the trenches outside the city, and all
the pickets have been greatly strengthened.
Thirty-six pieces of artillery had arrived at
Newbern from Tortress Monroe. The Boston
Journal of the 11th says: A letter dated New
-
ben, N. C., April 6th, 9 p. m., has been re
ceived in this city, reporting General Foster
reinforced, and that he had driven bask the
rebels. We hope , it may prove true.
The steamer Magicienne, captured by Fede
ral cruisers and carried into Key West for ad
judication, has been released, and it bi believed
the same course will be pursued in reference
to the British ship Peterhoff, recently captured
and taken into the same port.
The ease. of the Peterhoff, captured by our
cruisers, had been presented to Lord John Rus
sell on the 26th of March. ,lie promised to
lay it before the law officers of the crown. On
the 27th it was rumored in London that the
action of Cora. Wilkes had induced the British
government to order an addition to the West
India fleet. The report caused a decline in
theilunds. The Times' city article, however,
assumes that a demand for the. release of the
Peterhoff Rill be complied with as promptly
as was the demand in the Trent affair.
A dispatch from Washington, 11th April,
says the Navy Department has been informed
of the capture of five blockade runners. The
seizures of goods are important, and comprise
over a thousand bales of cotton and a large
quantity of !saltpetre.,
A special Washington dispatch to the Herald
states a rumor that M'Clellan has sent in his
resignation.
The War Department has decided that two
years regiments are not to be mustered out till
the expiration of time dating from. their mus
tering into the service of the United States.

:11.1 MDIEU.Iia2.IMM.IAI
SATURDAY, April 11, 1863.
The House held three sessions on Saturday,
devoted to the consideration of bills of a local
character.
Remarket of Nr. Graber, of Schuylkill, on the
Bill Prohibiting the Payment of the Wages of
Labor in Orders on &Ores.
Ma. SPEAK= : I am in favor of the passage
of this bill, because I have seen in some places
in Pennsylvania that poor workingmen have
been paid in the following manner:
In orders upon the storekeeper ;
In orders upon the butcher;
In orders upon the shomak.er ;
In orders upon the doctor.
Why, sir, what , has all this to do with the poor
workingman's wages ? I say, let him have the
cash; Let him receive his wages in money, and
pay his debts in money. If he gets his money,
he cm go like other men where he can buy the
cheapest. I put it to the good sense of this
House whether it is right that a poor man who
goes down in the morning from 300 to 600
feet, and perils his life in a dark, &Limp, mis
erable hole, where he has to work his day's
work in powder-smoke, damp and sulphur,
should be defrauded by his employer, and his
wages paid in store orders instead of money ?
I have seen young, stout men go to work in
the mines in the morning, and before long
word came that they were buried up and smo
thered to death. No business is more perilous
than that of the miner, and no class of men
deserve to be more faithfully and liberally
paid.
Sir, all the miners and laborers are risking
their lives daily. Is it right to pay them with
store orders ? No, sir, I think not. If a law
yer or any other professional man has a claim,
he never expects to be paid in store orders.
He wants the money. Why shall he not be
paid .in money, as this bill provides for miners,
laborers and all other mechanics ? I there
fore hope that it will pass the House.
