Lincoln, with the expectation that it would
properly meet the case in every essential
point. He considered it legal and in con

the-ExecntiVe of the fcovercmerit. He bd
entire confidence in its effect, and antici

"The Late Bnrdtr. .
W learn that an officer charged' with, a
warrant for the arrest of the murderer of
Isacc Sickler, found him in the custody of
the Prorost Marsha! at Scranton, and on
presenting his warrant to said military
functionary, and requiring him to surrender
be offender op to the ivil authorities for
trial and punishment ; the Constable was
cooly informed that the prisoner was beTd
in military costo.dy, awaiting the orders of
Mr Prorost Marshal Gen. Fry ; and the
Constable waa obliged to return without his
prisoner. ''.
So it goes. When our citizens are delib
erately ahot down like dogs ia the streets,
without the shadow of excuse, from mere
devilish wantonness, the "loyal" murder-
rs, may be captured, and tried if his High
Mightiness, the Provost Marshal General
will deign to consent to permit the law of
the land to have its course. Oiherwise, not.
We do not know-whetber ihe heartless
monster who perpetrated thi most cold
blooded and wanton murder i to be screen
ed from punishment by Mr. Fry, and his
subordinates or not. As the murderer's
victim was only a white mm, it is possible
that Ihe claims of justice -will be ignor
ed and defied.
- - We understand that the associates, if not
accomplices, of 'Bi l Larkim" ihe murder
er are swaggering abont tne e'reM of
Scranton, where they ail Teeide, . claiming
lo be entirely blameless and Ire'e from
censure in the matter.- Their names. a
we have learned them, are, Provost Mar
shal, N. F. Palmer, A. Godirey and Brit,

This quartette of beauties, seeing iheir
victim fall, pierced ttrough the heart by a
shoi, from , one of their -number, cooly
drove on and left him weltering in, and

from his house, and family with none

save as Irom such a community ! Men
who are guilty of such heartlessress such
wanton indifference lo human life, and who
exhibit such a destitution of Ihe common
instincts of humanity .should henceforth be
marked as infamous wretches, and however

The Legislature of Pennsylvania, has in
consideration a Supplement lo the Common
School law ol this commonwealth relating
to the maintenance and education of desti
tute orphan children and brothers and sis
ters of deceased soldiers and sailors. It
provides that the school directors of each
scbool districMn this commonwealth, fhall
within ninety days after ihe passage of the
act, and annually thereafier a ihe State
Superintendent of Common Schools may
direct, make ont a list of all orphan chil
dren of soldiers and sailors or orphaned
brothers and sisters of the same under six
teen years of age, residing in said school
district, giving the age of such orphan and

other relative or friend lo whoe care the
said orphan is committed, which list t-liall
be transmitted to the County Superintend
ent of common schools, to be examined by
him, and if found correci endorsed and for
warded to the State Superintendent.
By this bill the Governor, Secretary of ihe
commonwealth and ' State Superintendent
are constituted a board of trustees, to
invest upon sufficient security the fund
of fi!y thousand dollars, donated by the
Pennsylvania railroad company for the ed-
qcation and maintenance of the orphans of
deceased Pennsylvania soldiers and sailors.
It fnrther provides lhat it shall be the duty
of school directors !o make arrangement
for the education and maintenance of said
orphans, by contracting with suitable par
lies, with the coatent of the mother or
friend appearing in behalf of llm orphans,
upon such terms, lhat ihe services of said
chiidren shall either in whole or in part be
accepted ai an equivale-it for the expenses
incurred in their maintenance and school
ing, and shall make report annually of all
such contracts to the St3te Superintendent.
A statement of facts relative to the death
of the father or. brother of such orphans,
and iheir circumstances shall be m..de un
der oath before aid can be secured, and in
no case shall the amount drawn for ihe
education and maintenance of an orphan be
more than ihirly dollars per annum. Re
fusing or neglecting to end said orphans of
more than six years of age, to school at
least four months in each year, shall be
eufficieoi 10 cause a forfeit of the aid for

board, shall be entitled to receive tro dol
lars per day for each day necessarily em
ployed in preparing lists of such orphans
and for performing auch other duties as are
imposed upon him by this act.
. , A cotemporary ihinks we are a little hard
upon tbe clergy. Upon what clergy?
Not upon the true ministry of Christ not
npon the preachers of the blessed gospel ol
peace and good trill amonz men' but upon
the insolent and brazen counterfeits of thai
holy office. Clerical wretches, who repre
sent the most merciful God 10 be of tire
same character as tbe heathen deities.
whose altars were gorged with blood, and
who, being images of devils themselves,
delighted in tbe destruction of ran. It is
because these blaspheming impostor are
false to the holy religion they profess, that
we despise and denounce ;hera. Old

When and how can they be
obtained 1
. Answer. They are for sale, at par, and
accrued interest, by all Sub-lreasnries. Na.
tion'and other Batiks, and all Bankers and
Brokers.
3d Question. When is the interest payable
and how can it be collected I
Answer. The Coupons or Interest Tickets
are due J5lb ol February and 15th of Au
gust, in each year, and can be cut off from
ihe rjote, and will be cashed by any Sub-
Treasurer, U. S- Depository, National or 6th
er Bank or Banker.
4th Question When must the Government
pay cfl these 7,30s ?
An-icer. They are die in two years and
a half from ih l5th ol February, 1865; viz:
on lb" 15ih of Ausust, 1867. '
bth Q'les'wn Must I receive back my
money as soon as 1867 ?
Auitccr. Ao not unless yon yourself
prefer lo do so-the Law gives you the right
to demand from the Government, at that
time, either your money or an eqnal Imonnt
at par, of th famous and 5 20 Gold Bearing
6 per cent. Loan.
6th Question. How much do yon consid
er this privilege of conversion, into 5.C0
Loan 10 be worth ?
Answer 5.20s bearing Gold Interest from
1st of November. are to-day worth 9 per cent
premium. If they are worth no' more at
the end of the two yeaTS and a fialf, when
you have a right to them, ihan' ihey now
are, this premium added to ihe interest you
receive, will give you at least 10 per cent,
per annum for your money but the opin
ion is that they will be wor:h more than 9
per cenl. premium at that time.
1th Question. What other advantage is
there in investing in the 7.30 Loai ?
Answer. It cannot be taxed by States,
Counties, or Citie, and this adds from one
to three per cent, per annum to the net in
come of the holder, according lo the rate of
taxation in various localities. All bond
and mortgages, &c, are taxed, not only by J
the Government, but by States, Counties
ar.d Cities
8'h Qiestion. Ifow does the Government
raise the money to pay he interest, and is
it sale and ture ?
, Answer' The Government collects, by
taxes, internal revenue, and duties on im-
I port, fully three hundred millions each
) ear. This is r.early three times as much j
as is needed to pay the interest on all the j
debt, and as soon as the war is ended,
the amount not needed to Dav the inter- !
est will be used in paying off tbe debt. I
Our Government has twice paid off all its
debt, and can easily
do ko aain. -j j,e
interest is sure lo
t
me debt itself is lhe very safest investment
t
in the world. It is as safe as a morrgage on
a good larm, and pays a better interest 1
it is in facta first Mortgage on all
lands, i
atl incomes, all railroad and caualbouds, :
and bank or other stocks, mortgages, &c. j
Nothing can be safer, lor we are bound j
for i:,' and all that we have is firmly held
for Ihe payment of principal and interest, j
Howlootifh those people are, who keep ;
their gold and greenbacks idle and locked !
up, or purchase mortgages or railroad j
stocks ar.d bonds, which pay only 5 or 6 )
. wuw,. .uB.c..n.in.r- ,
ues pay (counting ine premium on rive
Twenties ) over len per cent., and are so
much afer and sorer.
9th Q'cfs.'i'yn How many Seven Thirties
are thrre, and how much remains unsold ?
i.su-er. There are only about three
hundred and twenty five millions 'author
ized by law, and only about one hundred
and ninety millions remain unsold.
ICi Question. How long will it take you
to tell the balance 1 .
Answer. There are about 800 National
Banks all engaged in selling ihem ; also a
large nnmber of the old banks, and at least
three thousand private broker, and spe
cial agents will be engaged in ail parts ol
ihe country in disposing of ihem to the peo
ple. llth Question. How long will ii tak) lo
sell ihe whole ? . .
Answer. In less than three mouihs they
will be all sold, and will no doubt then sell
at a premium, as was the case with lhe old
Seven Thirties the first Twenty-Vear Loan,
and lhe. Five Twenties.
The above questions and answers, it is
believed, will give full information to all.
It not, tbe General Sobecription Agenf,or
any of'the Banks or Bankers ernplojed to
sell the Loan will be glad 10 answer ail
questions, and 10 furnish the Seven-Thirties
in MQall or large snms (as the no.es are is
sued in denominations of SjO, SlOO, S500,

The Cnptnre.cf Charleston.
, The steamship Fulton brings news to the
18th inst., corroberaliqg the fall of Charles
ton and its occupation by the Federtl forces.
The evacuation of'CharUlon was -first dis
covered by our. forces under Gen. Schim
melpfinning, from James Island. Exactly
at whai lime is rot yet reported, thonsth
the occupation of the city and of be fortifi
cations look place at about 10 e'clock in
the forenoon of the 18 h instant. The de
parture, of the Confederates from Forts
Sumpter and Moultrie was, it is understood,
seen from our pickei boats which reconnoi
tre the harbor at night ; and ihe operations
of the Confederate garrisons began about
twelve hours before the evacuation was
completed namely, at 10 o'clock on ihe
evening of ihe 17th. Early in the morning
of the 18th, two terrific explosions in.
Charleston were observed from' our fleets
Fire, smoke and burning fragments fii'.ed
the air lor a great distance ; and the shock
was severely felt by all our vessels, Soon
afterward, asd before daylight, fires were
sel in oiber places, and extended tbroagh
oul the upper part of the city. Il has since
been ascertained thai many thousand bales
of cotton were burned inconsequence ollhe
explosion of the warehouse?, and other
public buildings that were fired by the con
federates. Our forces took possession of
the city in Ihe forenoon, as already report
ed Gen. Schimmelfinning was unoppod,
the Confederates leaving a ihe Federal
troops came in sight. There was not even
a show of resistance. The population of
Charleston consists entirely of the poorer
classes, wiio were unable lo gel away; ihe
j rich, had for several days been removing
The persons who remained were in want;
ihey had nothing to eat, and no means o!
obtaining anything. Their situation is de
scribed as much worse '.haw the inhabitants
ol Savannah after the capture of that cay.
The lower part of the city within reach of
our guns was in effect a ruin, and was al
most uninhabited. Compariti ve!y few per
sons dared lo.remain there. Some of the
houses were knocked down ; bricks and
limbers were lying every where, and the- ret
in particular were strewn with fragments, in
many places entirely obstructing tuvel.
Shplls were laying among the ruius. The
appearance ol ihe ci:y the lower part un
inhabitable and the upper part in flames
is described as dreary and desolate in Ihe
extreme. There is information that the
evacuation of Charleston bean nearly three
week;) ago. A Confederate officer, who
deserted and was examined at Port Knyal,
gave some ol the details; bet they were not
believed. Since lhat lime the Confederates
have been at wojk removing stores, though
all the heavy scpp!ies wee left. The only
information in regard to the Confede rate is j
1
that the direction taken by them in their
flight was northward, and lhat their num
ber was about 14,000 Day Hook. j

declared that "in nine months Utah would 1
be a free of Gentiles as ihe President :

Il was certainly an unpardonable disroor
tey lo omit in lhat document all allusion lo
Utah. The two powers have been hitherto '

institutions of Utah have been regarded in !

eame PeoP,e wno visited the domes- :

Even at a lime when Utah, a mere j
territory, openly unfurled the flag of rebel- j
lion, the United States sent peace commis-
,onnerB
wita in army, an act of nrace
wnicn 11 ne'er extended to the wicked re
bellion in the Southern States. Bishop Tal- i
bot, who recently travelled throujh Utah, !
states, in hi report, that he was not per-'
milted lo preach Ihere, and lhat no house i
would be rented for the purpose of preach- !
ins by any Christian minister. Polygamy ;
flourished luxuriantly.
The Bishop mentions instances where
several sisters were wives of one man. In
one case, a mother and two danahfr on.
joyed that honor. Uoder these circumstan-
ces, the Mormons have no reason to com
plain of the United Stales people, who
have no hidebound notions in religion or
morals, and are more tolerant to onbeliever
and polygamies than 10 men ol their own
faith who have only one wife, but many
bales of cotton.
Possibly Mr. Lincoln meant no offence in
failing to give expression in his fast mes
sage to lhe national sentiment ol respeel
and esteem for Utah. He is loo much oc
cupied in putting to the sword his fellow
ChriMiar.s of the South lo betow the prop
er civilities upon that -imperium impetio
near the Salt Lake, where concubinage- has
become part of the organic law, and no
slaves are permitted save the female vic
tim of Mormon lords.
Abraham the First, unlike his patriarchal
namesake, devotes his destructive energies
only to the extermination of men of his
own race and religion, and permits lhe
Sodom ol lhe New World to send up its
stench under his nose. Briharn should be
indi gent loathe oversight of lhe message,
and refrain Irom throwing another fire

Union.

Dear, will : Ere this reaches you, yon
will mo! probably have heard of my death
'hroogh the newspapers. That I was tried
by a military commission and hung by the
enemy ; and hung, I assert, Dnjusily. Ii
both useless and wrong to repine over the
pat. Hanging, it was asserted, was igno
minious; but crime only can make dishon
or. Vengeance is mine, faith the Lord, and
I will repay ; therefore do not now show
un kindness to prisoners. They are help
less. Remember me kindly to my friends. Sy
to ihem lhat I am not aware of committing
any crime against society. ( die for my
country.
No thirst for blood or Iocre animated me
in my course, for I had refused wben solici
ted to engage in enterprises, which I deem
ed destructive, but illegitimate ; and but a
month ago 1 had but to have spoken, and I
would have been red with blood and rch
wi:h the plni.cler of the race. But my hands
are clear of blond, unless it be spilt in con
flict, and nol a cent enriches my pocket.
Should yon be spared through tris strife,
stay with moiher and be a comfort 10 her
old age. Endure the hardships of the cam

can get plenty of c'othes. Give my love 10

Democratic Con vehtion of Bedford Co.
The Democracy of Bedford held their annual
meeting on Monday ihe 13th. The attend
ance was large, and great enthusiasm pre
vailed. Among a series of well-limed res
olutons we find the following :
' Retolvcd, That we recommend obedience
10 the laws of the land, 011 the part of tbe
President as well an the people', and in the
language of Governor Curiin, in his recent
letter to Mr. Lincoln, we insist that thai
functionary "enforces upon his subordinates
lhai obedience 10 lhe law which he owes,
as well as they and all ol us."
O. E Shannon, Esq , was selected as the
representative delegate .to the next State
Convention.
Says the New York Times: "Lieut. Gen-
eral Granl, in his recent visit to Washington j
did not hesitate lo say publicly lhat if aj
hundred thousand more men were given j Wan. your permi-inn 1 wish 10 say to the
him he would, within three monhs, wipe j reader of your paper that I will send, by re
ncl -It that is left of ihe rebellion." Such I nrn mail.to all who wish it (free) a Recipe,
blaiher bas long since been "played out."
It has been "only one hundred thousand
more to close out the rebellion" so long that
he people have come to look upon all
such cant a the lying stereotyped lures of
the mock auctioneer Vone more left,"
'only one more gentlemen," ' positively
lhe la"i ol tne lot," &c, so long as verdan
cy's money holds out.
Edward Ingersodl Esq., in bis speech
ai the Key Stone club dinner npered a
warring to Ab&litionis's in the following
sentence : Sir, the blood of Abolitionism, will
cement the Union of the States, and it is the
on'y earthly lemcdy for our prcent ills."

The Confederate have evacuated Wil-

a guard was placed in ihe inner line of en
trenchments, foor miles south of Wilming
ton. The Federal troops advanced along
both side, of the Cape Fear rivnr, and en-
I countered this guard on Tuesday last. The
evacuation wis not completed until that
evening. There was some skirmishing in
the evening, but on advancing to renew the
contest on Wednesday morning, the Feder
