Death of Hon. Wm. B. McClure*
The community was startled this morning
by the announcement that Hon. Wm. B; Me-.
Clare/ President Judge of the Courts of oyer
and Terminer, Quarter Sessions and Common
Pleas, had expired at his residence on Penn
street, in this city. The sad event was not
altogether unexpected to bis family and more
immediate relatives, hat the oommunity gen
erally were not prepared for this painful dis
pensation. He had been ill for several weeks,
bat it was only within a few days past that
his symptoms became alarming; and his fam- i
ily began ter realise that death was at h&nd.'.
His Ulsfess was.an affection of the ohest, and '
some titne elapsed before it assumed a definite*
type* It' finally developed itself in aajpna
i peetoru,and on Wednesday last fears were en
tertained for his recovery. His physician,
Hr. Thomas Hickson, consulted with Hr.
Belter, and the case wasnronouneedextremely
critical. Oft; Thursdayhe experienced much
pain, and daring Thursday night and Friday
morning hUauflezinga were intense.' He com-.!
plained of intolerable pain in the left breast, j
and in theregibn ofthe shoulder, and re- I
marked to a young friend in waiting that ho
feared he eould hot lpng survive..,, His excru
ciating psinwaraeoompspfodby p tense, of
suffocation, and M
the morning. ‘iy ‘ ‘f.
Wittiav BLau McCnmff was bora in Gar-:
lisle, Gumberlaad oounty, Pa., in 1807, and
wks in the fifty-fifth year of his age. ; Ho was
i educated at Dickinson College, whore he grad-,
uated with distinction, and soon after removed
to this city. He entered the offioe of the late
Judge Kennedy, At .Via# atadentiand was
admitted tmthi Barnf .AHeghony-cohntr in
the ycac His preoeptof,Judgc K*a
nedy,walifiMeqaistiy elevated to amt on
. Hon.Thoma* Williams' 1
,was a-stadsst in thaeameoffioe, and was ad--
mitted to the* Baf about the same period.
Judge McClure hadbeen a close scholar aad a
laborioul atudont, and entered
•tice of his profession with fsir prospects of a
prosperous future. After his'admission, he
practiced with •ucc«&s antfl ; ,ls3B,'yrben he
formed a co-partnership with Hon. Wilson
HcCandless, now'Judge of the United States
District Court. ’
The law firm ofMcCandless & McClure soon
distinguished ‘throughout the State.
; They eqjojedpoThapsjthe largest practioe of
any firm in this 'the largest at
that time. This partnership continued with
uninterrupted success: until the year 1860,
i when Mr. McClure was appointed by Hon.
Wm. F. Johnston, then Governor of the State, |
[ ml President Judge of the Court of Quarter |
1 Sessions*—the commission of Judge Patton i
having expired. Subsequently, during the |
same year, the Constitution of tho State was 1
amendod'so as to renderthe Judiciary elective ;
by the people,.and the terms of all the Judges
i expired at the samo time. In 1851, all the
Judges throughout the State wore elected,
under the amended Constitution; and Judge
McClure having given decided evidences of
ability daring nit brief experience on the
Bench, was nominated by his fellow-citizens
of-the Whig party, and elected during the fall
of that year, for the term of ten years. All
our readers know with what-ability, fidelity,
firmness and humanity he discharged his ardu
ous and responsible duties during the past ten
years,, His honesty and uprightness and dig
nity became proverbial; and; When his term
expired he was unanimously re-nominated by
his fellow citizens, and elected without oppo
sition, by the largest popular vote ever east in
this county for any similar office. Baring
the last term of Court he was at'bispoit as
usual, but soon after the business of the term
was over he became iU, and was absent from
the Bench' Upon several occasions, - k He got
better, however, and about two week s ago ap
peared in-Court, and took the oath or office
hom- Judge Williams/ under his new commis
sion. This solemn obligation was the'last,
judicial act of his life!.
Judge McClure was a jurist of more than
'ordinary ability, and was perhaps tho most
distinguished criminal lawyer in the State.
flif extensivo experience on the Bench, added
to a natural lore of research, bad made him
familiar with ail the doctrines of thexriminal
law j and tbo fadlity with which bfr quoted
decisions and authorities upon points,
clearly indicated* that he bad traversed the
•whole range of criminal jurisprudence* In
; deed, so thoroughly bad be mastered this de-
I partment, that he longed for some new posi
tion,where his mind might derive additional
rigor and pleasure in exploring new fields of
science. As a judge, he possessed many
striking characteristic Hia pereeption was
as quick as thought itraif,and his no notations,
even in the most difficult and trying circum
stances, wemgcnenily correct, and in accord
ance with both law and reason. His weightier
opinions exhibited greift research, and a
thorough knowledge of the law, notwithstand
ing they, were of necessity the tabor of a sin
gle-night. His keen perception enabled him,
as it were, to road the -criminal, and but few
guilty ever escaped the banishment of their
crimes. He set bis fiaee.like flint against the
wanton transgressors of law, and meted out
justice .with .an even hand. Yet he was a man
of the most tender sympathies, and his heart
was ever fullof love ana regard for the poor
and tmfortttnate. Wo to those who sought,
by means of the criminal law. to harrass or
oppress the weak and the defenseless. All
such were driven In shame and contempt from
the halls of justice. To the members of the
Bar, his courtesy and kindness were unlimited,
andit was his,delight'to instruct and en
i courage the ycraag practitioner by all the
I means in his power. : As a speaker'he was
1 forcible and eloquent, and his arguments were
powerful and convincing. His verbal charges
i were models of brevity, and no one to whom
he addressed himself ever found difficulty
in comprehending him. His command of lan
guage was remarkable, but his' sentences
were noted for brevity and perspicuity,
i Judge McClure was also a man of great re
finement. HU love for the poetical was si
; most passionate, and his literary taste was of
i the highest order. Somo of his lectures and
orations are models of composition; but his
excessive modesty, or perhaps his indifference
'as-to his own abilities, prevented him from
enjoying a wide reputation as a speaker and
writer. '
It perhaps does not become us to speak par
ticularly or the loclalqualitiss of thelamented
deceased, but we may'say (barhe wks a man
of most generous impulses and refined sensi
bilities; a fast friend, an affectionate husband,
and a devoted father.-He was united In mar
riage to a daughter of the late Mrs. Sarah
Collins—his wife being a sister to Mrs. Judge
McCaudless. Judge McClure had two sisters,
one of whom'is the wife of our venerable
fellow-citizen, Gen. Wm. Bobinson, and the
other was joined in marriage with the late Hr.
George Hays. His brother,- the late Hon.
Adam McClure, was at one time Secretary of
the Commonwealth, and also a member of
Congress from . the Cumberland district.
Charles McClure zoarried a daughter of Chief
Justlee Gibson, which brought the subject of
this notice upon terms of personal intimacy
with that, distinguished.'jurist, for whom be
entertained, the highest sentiments of regard.

Thursday Morning, Deo. 26,1861. J
. In tiie note -of the 20 th, Lnwhioh mention
WasmadSof tiie skinnfilionthe day previous, [
m promiie-wnf made to write again, and fur* |
niah a few ladierooa scenes which were en
noted, bat a sober second thought, and the,
fear that might wantoningly injure the
fntings of tome who may ye. prove them'
selves bravo men and reliable soldiers, there'
fore I will not enumerate as intended. It is
said that some few instances of fast walking
for tall timber took plaoe after the first shot,
and that a great many had a latent talent for
active exercise, which has never before been
developed, except: at grab. So, you see, a
! battle better developitbe man in the course of
a fewminuUs-than months of inactivity.. It
has long been said that the emergency pro
duces the right man in the right place, butfor
a long time a great want of pedestrians, swift .
enough of foot, to carry to the
outposts, has,been severely felt, butThnrsday
morning’s exercise has produced some, who,
with very little training, will equal the Amer
ican Deer—especially in the time.of battle—
and for the fature, we'may rest contested.
No precious time will be lost on their account.
-Others .were so much excited that they
groaned, wrung their hands, and appeared
powerless ter help either themselves or others,
and one "poor felloWclasped his arms around
a tree and poured' forth his lamentations in
cries'and groans and every manifestation of
fearl At the same ; tlmei he aept his head be
hind the screen, forgetting in Ms fright that
muoh the larger portion, of his body was ex
posed. Had a shot fallen there, or shell ex
filoded, he would oertainly have been wounded
n the rear, if not in the seat of honor.
Since the.l9th every thing.progressed in its
usual quiet style until the 31st, when boxes of
.every rise, and packages ofall imaginable
'shapes, begfin to arrive, and the most stupid
ootUd till that Christmas times werecomlog.
Everyman wanted a pais to get his share,
and-had a paroel arrived for. every one who
received his pus we would have had hot little
nse for the Qdattehnaster'for a few days. As
it was some two hundredand fifty boxes came
to hand and were duly examined, praised and
digested. Almost every tent had its Christ
mas dinner, and turkeys, home-made bread
and pies, for the time, took the place of hard
tack and salt horse. Campaigning was for
the moment forgotten, and home and home
influences were the impnrtant subjects of con
versation on evory hand. Some who had re
ceived miniatures of those left behind them
passed’them in review to thoir fellow-soldiers,
apd the tearful eye and thick utterance gave
proof to the looker-on that the heart was all
right, if the exterior had grown eold and care
less. •:
It is astonishing the effbetagood dinner
has on a man; it certainly most be the next
in order to a good education, for yesterday,
.after each, had partaken to his stomach's con
tent, not an angry word, not a coarse allusion,
not a single appearance of ill humor was man
ifested. T!he softening influence of good
things brings in its train the kind attention of
mankind, either in the shape of wife, mother,
sister,-daughter or sweet heart, and all know
the feeling of lovely kindness which like a
halo surrounds each of these relations. But
I most stop all this and get back where I be
long.
The officers and men, determined to hare
; the day pass, if not as pleasantly as at home,
at least in a manner which would create a di
version for the Ills, and drive dull care away,
1 tome time a mixed compaay
of dramatists, Ethiopian minstrels, and acro
bats, whe each and all perform their parts in
masterly style, which brought down the boose
every few minutes. The audience was Urge
and respectable. .Many ladies from thecoun
try honored ns with their presence, and mani
fested the utmost satisfaction with the per
formance. The men woro all fashionably
dressed in the style of Uncle Bam, having re
ceived their new clothes, and a more brilliant
audience could not be drawn together even in
the Smoky City. The honso was Urge, being
all outof doortr*o there was room for all, and
considerable to spare. The mail is closing

whan it is stated that the "Rebellion Record"

about twenty sermons, in Vbich tho reader
will find abundant evidence that the pulpit is

not any longer remain suppressed, or suffer

tinctly appear to the redder who will go

1 Intereatiac from Miuouri.
Sr. Louis, Deo. following remote I
of recost military operations in' Missouri are !
obtained from a reliable, sofiroe, within the
past two weeks:
The Union army captured 2,500 rebels, in
eluding about 70 commissioned officers, 1,200
horses and bales, 1,110 stand of arms, 2 tons
of powder, 1 100 wagons, an Immense amount
of commissary stores and camp equipage, and
a large foundry at Lexington, used by the
rebels for casting cannon, shot and shell.
Mostef the rebel craft on the Missouri river,
including ferry boats, hate beta destroyed or
captured, -i A pretty cleah sweep has been
made of the whole country between the Mis
souri and Osagerivers, apd Gen. Price-has
been cut off fVqn%elVenpnllea end recruits from
North Missouri! He is m full retreat for Ar
kansas with: his whole army,; haring passed
through Springfield..on.-.Monday last. Our
loisTin accomplishingthslsp Important results,
does not exceed 100 and wounded.
_ These are the results ofth* brilliant stra
tegical combinations of which
hare been so ably executed hjr&enerals Pope,
Prentiss andttHoKean; Qolbneu Jeff. C. Da
ris, of Port Sumter fame, Fred. Btoele, of the
11th regular army infantry,.: and the brave
soldiers of our army, regulars and volunteers.
Prioe'a efforts, through his emissaries, to stir
up rebeUionln North Missouri, and simulta
neously burn all railroad bridges, stations and
rolling etook; on the 20th of this month, in
accordance with plans promulgated from the
rebel camp, hire completely foiled, to
a great extent, by the energy or Qen. .Hal-,
leek and the activity of'our-forces, which are
kept in cohaUnVwpttion notwithstanding the
severity of thf weather." 'The damage done
to the North Missouri and Hannibal, and St.
Joseph Railroads hasjbeenmuch exaggerated.
Repairs are rapidly. belQgmiade, and both the
North Mhjsbari Railroad, and telegraph win
will bein Working order; to-night.
Tea bridge burners have already been shot,
and 50 ore ui close confinement to.bo summa
rily dealt with, under Gen. Haileck's stringent
orders* in a few days. It is Confidently ex
pected that bor moving chumps will as effec
tjiftlty break up bridge barbing in North Mis
souri, at the rebellion has-been crashed South
of the river. No merey .wfll be shown to the
scoundrels. Qen. Halledt’s emphatic ordors,
with reference to airbridge burners, are to
shoot down every one makiefc the attempt.
Major Glover has just returned from Camden
county with ten wagon loads of subsistence,
and a rebel captain, with'l3 men, who left
- Price's army since his retreat commenced.
Qen. Pqpei’s official report of bis expedition
to Central Missouri is received, but It contains
nothing important not previooriy reported.
OrronitE, Mo., De 0.87. —A.prisoner who
escaped from the. rebel camp ai Humansville,
last. Saturday,lreports that when the news
that -Qen'. Pope's cavalry bad driven in Qen.
Rains' picket* at Johnstown, Was received by
Price's elf my,-the greatest,consternation p re
trailed inthe rebel camp. Cavalry, artillery,
i infaotry and raw, ragged and -unarmed.re
cruit*, wSre mixed up In inextricable confix-"
*ion, aud'many hour* elapsed before anything
like order was restored. The retreat of the
wbolo army commenced as soon afterwards as
possible, and so fearful were they of pursuit
that they burned bridges, and placed every
obstruction' In tho way of their fanoied pur
suers. Even the celebrated bridge built by
Qen. Fremont across thf Osage,, at Warsaw,
was not | spared by the v syihg.nbels. It is
reported | that one regiment was left on the
'Osage as a rear guard, and that several small
-bodies are scattered: tbrough the counties
about WarreusburK,: oqllecdig supplies. A
cavalry foroo has been sent out in pursuit of
them, but our horses are so worn and weary
by other long and forced marches that there is
little prospect of capturing these rebel bands.
The lost report from Pries is that be passed
through Springfield ea nmte to Arkansas, and
it is pretty certain that he will not attempt to
return this winter.

The Feeling of Americans in En«
PjuuB, December G.
If 1 were to fill volumes I should fail.to
convey to you any adequate idea' of the
painful state of suspense in which we are
awai&ng herb‘the decision of tha^vital ques
tion of peace or war between England and
America. So painful, indeed, is out posi
tion, so intense.our anxiety on the : subject,
that the prospect of waiting till Christmas
for a Solution; seems almost more than hu
man patience is capable of supporting.
For here in Paris we* are compelled to re
main as it isolated rather
ioolferarOß and- waiters upon
‘the deciaidn UlthoSoata: Vast' distance,
rather.thin taking an actuaVpart in it, and
being at once moved and supported fay the
national sentiment. All we can do is to
arm ourselves with patience and hope for
; the best; and I trust “ (faaVtfaere, are few
Christian.. men .ih«re,V either. English or
American, who feel ashamed ot unwilling
toown that they regard'the prospect; of «
conflict between their respective countries
with- unmitigated affliction .and,, dismay,
and as onc of . the most disaatroka events
which could happen to the cl vilixedwotld.
There are men on both sides who Seem mad
enough to Jhirstfor such a spectacle j but
let us hope that the influence they are able
to exefhin the decisiopu will be iii propor
tion to tho smallness'of their judgment
rather thnn to die 'stfengUt; of their] pas

/About twenty delegates,- lay and clerical,

The- peculiarities of this soot are that,
while tuey ; adhere, to Methodist doctrine
and inodes ofworship, they have no “bish

arc independent .of. the conference; own
their owp church property;, choose their,

I mended to the local churches as a doctrin-

of union or constitution was adopted and
subscribed by all the delegates present;
The session was . attended by several
clergymen of this _city and from abroad,
who evinced a Hvoly»interest in the pro-,

statements and comments of .the writer
thoroughly examine and explain the Secre
tary’s system, and are intended prove,
Firit: That the' credit of this Govern
ment depends much upon financial skill,
inasmuch as the ability of the; nation. to
sustain a debt is sufficient,'! vrheie proper
energy, economy, and prudence are observ
ed by all the’departments. 1 '
Second: That in raising money for war
purposes, the Government is boond to de
vise a plan that will displace as few indi
vidual securities as : possible, and create no
disraltion to foreclose mortgages and dis
turb the value of taxable property..
1 Third: That SUte.banksmay. organize
under an act of Cohgressj and become na
tional institutions, and also become the fis
cal agents of the Treasury, to collect taxes
and Mother dues, and disburse the for
a commission in all parts of the Union.
Fourth:. That the bonds whieh may be
received ftam all banks will be locked up
inthe Treasury, and that thereby, the Na
tional Government wilt possess a full and
perfect power, oter the currency, inasmuch
as the Secretary may sell the bonds depos
ited and redeem the bills of insolvent

Fifth: That the credit and soundness
of all our currency will depend upon the
care and skill with which the public prom*
lies and pledged faith of. the nation are
kept and redeemed. L lf the national faith
shall remain, unblemished/then this plan of

An Jrrepressibleßeporter.
A letter from Washington ,to the Clero--

Honorables and ‘the military filled the

other efforts to get in-hebrassed'it up to

was ridiculous of course, as it vaa neither
McClellan’s house nor funeral, and reporter
was snubbed. Off he goes to Gen. Marcy,
Chief of McClallan’i staff, and was as cav
alierly treated as he deserved. - Bound the
house he goes, and, finding the, omnipresent
contraband, 'gives him a dollar to shoot;
him down the scuttle hole, When round
