Provost Marshal Fry, who is justly re
ceiving the condemnation of all reasonable
and thinking people, has,' we suspect! been
taking instruction under Blitz, and is prac
ticing legerdemw in apportioning quota.to
the State o! Pennsylvania. By some trick,

.gross injustice, for Pennsylvania has twea--ty-five
Congressional Districts. The popu
lation of each of these should be as nearly
it isii is p.ui. .Pumu .uc.u.
Therefore if the draft is made, throughout
the whole State in quotas proportioned as

Drafts have been made almost every week,
during this winter to procure the entire
quotas under ite 500,000 call, and there ra-
unains for tne whole county of Colombia a !
deficiency of twelve men. It is no greater
in other counties of the district. So the
matter of deficiencies cantnt tie consid
ered in accounting for tae injustice.

this act it was'ajleged woold be the means
ot opening op a way. to swindle the State
out of' millions of dollars. It would give
incorporated bodies or iodividoaU the right,
:'ter becoming "in. possession of certain
' ilatkia river bottoms lo boje or sink wells

Warren and Venango counties; and if
there is anything like the amount of wealth
in them that is alleged"," it would be suffi
cient to pay off our whole Stale debt, and
should o be applied. These laridi.il ibey
belong to the State, should be thrown into
the market, that the Stale might be'able to
receive a fair price" for them, surjct to the
highest bidder. . It is a question with some
persoqs whether these lands are legally the
property of the Commonwealth, when it it
aidmitted that reparian owners have certain

The act that we allude lo cannot pas?, is
or honest &elief We do hope there is a
little honesjy io the Legislature, nd that i'
will display it, by legislating to the interest
of the great Commonwealth and not to in

a most iniqnitoos scheme, calculated to
swindle the State out of thousands of dol

already large demands. No one can sup

At last, Andrew G. Curtin has been arous
ed irom the lethargy, which has been hang
ing o ver him. for the pastlour years. He
takes opon himself a portion of the "privi
leges belonging to the executive of a 60v-
rejeigo State and becomes bold enough to
protest againt the conduct of Lincoln's
orTlciaIs. He deals to the Provost Mawhal
General a severe rebuke for his misconduct,
in a letter to Mr. Lincoln, which our read
ers will find on the outside of this paper.
While we honor Cortin for this single act
of justness, we cannot but notice that he is
lead to its performance by political parti
sanship. We .of Pennsylvahia have been
snbjacl to more oppressive acts of the gen-
;!.ra government and 'AndyV voice was
j raided i-n opposition. Our citizens ha-e
en-cni into dungeons and" held months,
though not goilty -of any offence to the
jlaws, either slate or national. The laws of
j Pennsylvania hare been trampled trpon by
I Lincoln atjd a sovereign State thereby
j crushed, yet the executive of Pennsylva
nia was submissive. Now the injustice
falls equally opon the adminitration party, i
So long a Democrats suffered from tyranny
' and oppression and the Republicans were
not wronged, Mr. Lincoln might continue
i at his will, bntlel the strong force of mili
, tary la-v fall opon them and immediately
; there is a cry for justice. Let Mr. Lincoln
even call opon them to perform service in
subjugating the rebels, which they consider
i so honorable, and fcr which they would
give the last (Democrat) mn and the last
1 doilar (o! Democrats).
President Lincoln in response to the
resolotion of C aress, asking him for in
formation relative to the late peace confer
ence, makes known among. other tbirg.
the following : j

On the morning of February 3, the three
gentlemen, Messrs. Siephens, Hunter and
Campbell, came ahoard of our steamer and
had an interview with the Secretary of
State and myself of several ho C'a' duration.
No question of preliminaries to the meet
ing was then and there made or mentioned.
No papers were exchanged or' produced,
and it was in advance agreed that Ihe con
versation was to be informal and verbal
merely. On oor part the whole substance
of the instructions to the Secretary of Stale
herein before recited was Mated-and insist
ed upon, and nothing was said inconsist '
enl therewith ; while by the other party it
was not said that in . any eent or on any
condition that they ever woold consent to
feunion, and yet they equally ommitted to
declare that they would not conse.it. They
seemed to desire a postponement of that
question and the adoption of some other
course first, which, as some of them seem
to argie, might or might not lead lo reon-.
iony buj which course we thought woold
amount lo an indefinite postponement
The couference-ea'ded without result.

Washington, Feb. 9 The Richmond
WAtg of Feb. 7th publishes the following :
OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE CONFED
ERATE COMMISSIONERS.
The following important documents were
laid Defore Congress this afternoon :
To the Senate and House of Representatives
of the Confederate Slates of America :
Having recently received a written "noti
fication which satisfied 'me that the Presi
dent of the United Stares was disposed to
confer informally. with oiioficial agents that
might, be sent by me with a view to the
restoration of peace. I reqoested the H6n.
Alex. H. Siephens, Hon. R. M. T. Hunter
and Hon. J. A Campbell . to proceed thro'
our lines and to hold a conference with Mr.
Lincoln such persons as he might depute
to represent him.
I herewith submit, for the information of
Congress, the report of the eminent citi
zens above named, showing that the enemy
refused to enter into negotiations with the
Confederate States, or any of them separ
ateiy, or to give lo our people any other
terms or .guarantees than those which a
conqueror may grant, or to permit us to
have peace on any other basis than our un
conditional submission to their rule, coop
led with the acceptance of their recen
legislation, including an amendment to the
Constitution for the emancipation of all ne
gro slaves, nd with the right on the part
of the Federal Congress lo legislate on the
subiect of the relations between the white
and black population of each Stale?
Soch is, as I understand, the effect of the
Lmendmeut lo the Constitution which has
been adopted by the Congress of the U. S.
Signed, Jefferson Davis
Executive Office, Richmond, Feb. 8, "65.
Richmond, Feb. 5. To the President of
the' Confederate Slates : Sir Under'your let
ter of appointment of Ihe 28th ull., we pro
ceeded to seek art informal conference with
Abraham Lincoln, President of the United
States, upon the subject mentioned in your
letter. '
The conference -was granted, and took
place on the 30th a It., on board a steamer
anchored in Hampton Roads, where we met
President Lincoln and Wm. H. Seward,
Secretary of State ol the United States.
It continued for several hours, and was
both full and explicit. We learned from
them that the message of President Lincoln
to ihe United Slates Cougress, in December
last, explains clearly and distictly his sen
timents as to the terms, conditions and
method of proceeding by which peace can
be secored lo tre p"eople, and we ) were not
informed that they would be modified or
altered lo obtain that end.
We understand from him thai no terms
or proposal of any treaty or agreement,
looking to an uliiraate settlement, would be
e'ntertained or made by him with "the au
thorities ot the. Confederate States, because
lhal would be a recognition of their exist
ence as a separate power, which, under no
circumstances, would be done,; and,
for
l'Ke reasons, that no soch terms would be
en,er''neJ bJ &im from Slates separately ;
that no Iend or armistice, as at
Prese,u Seated, would be granted or al-
lowed without satisfactory assurance in ad
vance of the complete restoration of the
Constitution and laws of the United States
over all places within the States of the
Confederacy. That whatever consequences may fol'ow
from the re-establishment of that authority
mu-tt be accepted, but that individuals,
subject to pains and penalties nnder ihe
laws of ihe United States, might rely on a
very liberal use of the power confided to
him to remit their pains and penalties, if
peace be restored,
r .i. r
During the conference,
the proposed
amendments to the Constitution ot the Uni
ted Stales adopted b7 Congress on the 3 1st
ulr, were brought to our notice.
These amendments provide that neither
slavery or involuntary servitude, except for
l crimes, should exist within the United
States, or any place within their jurisdic
tion, and that Congress should have power
to enforce tliis amendment by appropriate
legislation.
. Of all the correspondence that preceded
the conference herein. mentioned and. lead
ing to the same, you have heretofore beer,
informed.
. Very respectfully, your obedient serxants

In Ttf Si-kate of Pennsylvania, Feb. 8:
Mr. Lowry presented a copy of a despatch
sent to-day by Governor Cur'in to President
Lincoln, slating that (he prospect of rais
ing fifty companies under the State call was
encouraging, bu: that the accomodations at
the camp were entirely insufficient ; that
ihecoming nights would probably be very
cold, and that, if permitted, the State au
thorities would find accomodations for the
men. To this despatch r.o answer has
been received. A discussion ensued, in
which Mr. Lowry said that released pris
oners from Richmond bad declared lhat
they had never endured such sufferings as
those of men in Camp Coriia. Four years
ago one regiment had lost more than one
hundred men from . privations needlessly
suffered io that place. Governor Cunin
haJ no right to erect buildings, although
his heart was bearing with. warm sympathy
lor these men.
Our Loyal League patriots proclaimed so
much sympathy with the prisoners confined
by the rebels and propose retditlion as a
means of balancing accounts with the reb
els. What do they thiok of the authorities,
at Harrisburg, who ia.lhe Stale of Pnn
sylvania, where provisions and all that is
necessary to make soldiers comfortable, can
be procured so easily are starving and
freezing the soldiers culis'.ed to fight in our
own army? Why noi retaliate upon Capt.
Dodge, who appears to be receiving a good
portion of the blame. If the above facts
bad been asserted by a Democrat, Republi-
Justice in New York. The New York
Express has the following :
Yesterday Commodore Vanderbitt was
arrested by officer Dodge, of the 25lh pre
cinct, charged with reckless driving. It ap
pears teat the Commodore while driving
along Broadway, near Vesey street in a
light wagon, knocked down and ran over a
woman named Catherine Walters, residing
at 89 Sheriff street, slightly injuring her.
The Commodore drove on, unconcerned as
to the fate of the woman, until he was
overhauled and arrested by officer Dodge,
who had pursued him to the corner of Ful
ton street. When arrested, he remarked to
the officer, "I'm Commodore Vadnerbill,
yon can get me al any time !" The 'officer
replied that it did not make any difference
who be was, he would be compelled to ac
company him to the Tombs. Officer Dodge
then jumped into the wagon and was driv
en to the Tombs Police Court by the Com
modore. On being arraigned before Jus
tice Hegan Ihe officer made the charge ol
reckless driving against him but the mag
istrate thought fit to discharge him, and the
aged Commodore went on his way rejoic
ing. Later La the Jay, Patrick Lynch, an
Irish backman, was arraigned before the
same magistrate, charged wiih a similar
ffense, and although he had not knocked
down and ran over- anybody Justice Hogan
fined ihe backman S3, but the millionaire
was discharged.
THE WAR NEWS.
Fiom the Age of the 9(Ji iisf.
The movement made by a portion of
Gen. Grant's army was by portions of War
ren's, and Humphrey's corps. The total
number ol troops engaged was about filteen
thousand. Gen. Meads commanded the
force in person. The troops moved on
Sunday morning last in (wo columns - Hum
phrey's corps was upon the southern flank.
Warrer.'s corps was on the northern flank.
crossing the .Weldon railroad at Reams
Station, and advancing four miles westward
along" the Vaughn road lo Hatcher's run.
Warren moved along parrallel roads three
miles north of the Vaugh road. The skir
mishing with the Confederates has already
been reported, and it is stated Jhat the Fed
eral loss in these engagements will araoon1
to nearly four hundred. On Sunday night f
the Federal troops halted on an intrenched
line facing northwest and crossing Hatcner's
run at right angles. Warren's northern
flank was six miles southwest of Peters
burg, and three miles from the Souihside
railroad Humphrey's' southern flank was
nine miles southwest of Petersburg, and
seven miles from ihe Souihside railroad.
The Confederates were in strong force all
along the front. The object of the move
ment was to control the road leading from
Petersburg eocth, so the Confederate troops
could not be sent lo oppose Sherman.
On Monday morning all seemed favora
ble, but the enemy during the night bad
brought up large reinforcement, and in the
forenoorr they diosed them for an attack.
Tbej first sent all their troops against War
ren's 'corps. Attacked in front and flank it
was forced lo give way, and retreated in a
somewhat broken condition nearly two
miles. This retreat exposed a. portion of
ihe Sixth corps lhat was crossing Hatcher's
run, to reinforce Humphrey. They were
driven in confusion across the run. Hum- !
phrey then retreated, the Confederates at-!
tacking him as he marched, but doing very
little damage. On Monday night the Fed- !
eral troops were all on the east side of!
Hatcher's run. In
the two days' fighting
they had lost one thousand men. The Con-

An Akmt Corps -'Tiekd." A private let
ter, written by a soldier in Sherman's army,
January 21ft, to a friend, contains an item
o'l news which has not appeared in the
despatches. He says : The Fifteenth army
corps left here three or four -dajs ago for
Charleston, and when they got into the rice
swamps the rebels opened the flood gates
upon -them, and pot them in about ten feet
ol water'some below it aod some abov it
in tops of trees. There they now are, those
in trees without arms or rations, and how
they are to get away is more than I can
understand.
A ponning son of St. Crispin, in the city
of Washington, says that "Oid Abe's list"
is a big thing.
