THURSDAY, JANUARY 14,1864
ABOLITION CORIMPTION.
Last year while Jolts P. Hers was him.
self engaged in selling hie services to con
tractors, he declared that our Government
was in greater danget from the corruption
pervadingits departments, than it was
from'the rebels in arms. The Dews in•
. .
vestagatlng committee reported that there
were about forty members of Congress
interested in Government contracts and
their accomplices, had divided some sixty
millions of dollars of profits therefrom.
It seems, however, that the report of the
committee alluded to, has admonished
the Abolitionists of the danger of such
expositions, and they are consequently
determined to have no more of them. On
Monday last FIRNANDO Woon, represen
tative from the City of New York intro •
dnced the following which will explain
itself:
Whereas. Accusations seriously affecting the
°Motel integrity et Major-General BIINJALIY F.
Btrrcra in the discharge of his duties while in
command of New Orleans. have been IPublioll
made , And whereas, other military officers t ave
been charged with ;delinquency. oppressive non
duos and conniving at frauds;
Whe,was. It ia stated that there have been col-
Ireton for preemies supplies in tte Military and
M.• v Departments and
Whereas. Recent disclosures show that in the
Custom souse of New York and other branches
of the Treasury Department, the revenue has
been &treaded, and treasonable aid gi VBll to dis
unionist!),
And. Whereas, It is anparent that general de
moraltration and incapacity prevades the &swo
t ive branch cf the Government to en extent
which oath for the interposition and preventive
legislation of Congress : Therefore, be it
Resolved. That a committee of nine members
be appointed to investigate and ascertain the
foundation for these accusations, with power to
seed for FCIIIOIIB and papers, to take te.timorty
under oath, to make necessary reforms, and re
port at any time.
One would imagine that the represen
tatives of a party which came into power
with promises of "retrenchment and re
form,'.' and who are constantly prating
about "the honesty of old Asa," would
instantly pass these resolutions. Not so,
however. Upon motion of THADDEUS
STEVENS, - the Abolition leader of the
House, they were laid upon the table, by
a vote of seventy-seven yeas, to sixty
' three nays: Among those who voted to
.table them were our two interesting Rep
resentatives, MOORHEAD and WILLIAMS.
The committee proposed had the resole
tious passed, would under parliamentary
law have been appointed by the Speaker.
Y et, in the face of the fact of the country
beiag alarmed by tide cries of corruption
coming from every quarter, the Abolition
majority in Congress shrunk from an
investigation which was to have been made
by a committee of their own speaker'e
selection.
THE LOCH. IN THE SENATE
All the abuse and slander heaped upon
the sixteen Democratic members of our
State Senate, by the Abolition press, be
cause they will not be dictated to by an
equal number of opponents, have not been
at all effective in producing the desired re
sult. All the smart sayings about "rebel
sympathisers" and "JEFF DAvIS at Har•
risburg•" have not secured the Abolition
iota, the distribution of the few little
places they are hungering after. The
Democrats are willing to divide these lit
tle places with their opponents, but that
1 ' • • ; ' - •r desire every
thing, and because the Democrats will not
give it, they are, in the sapient estimation
of Abolitionists, downright traitors.- The
New York Commercial Advitiser, how
ever, a Republican paper, does not agree
with the majority of its partizan contem
poraries, in regard to the "lock" in ques
tion. It remarks :
"Of the merits, or rather demerits, of
this controversy, no language can be used
too strongly condemnatory. From the
responsibility of sacrificing the public
welfare for the sake of paltry spoils neith•
er party can escape. Bat the preponder
ance Qf wrong is clearly on the side of the
Unionists. Were the Democrats demand
ing the speakership and the control of the
committees, the attitude of the Republi
cans might be justifiable. The Democrats,
however, offer to content themselves with
some of the minor offices, and even these
the Unionists withhold; thus confessing
that rather than yield-the minutest frag
ments of patronage, they will permit the
government of the commonwealth to lie
paralyzed, and its Efficiency in aiding the
warfare against rebellion to be destroyed."
The, Democrats of. the Pennsylvania
Senate are clearly right; let them, there
fore, not yield an inch to a brawling fac
tion of Abolitionists, who show more
anxiety for a few paltry offices, than they
do for the welfare of the state. The ne•
gro and the spoils are the cohesive power
which hold them together; let them wor
ship the first as much as they please, but
let us prevent them from luxuriating in
the latter, if we can. If they are willing
to postpone legislation because they are
not permitted to fill all the offices, upon
them rest the responsibility.
PAILTICrLAss OF THACHERA 'S
DEATH.
The latest English papers give no satis
factory account of the manner of the
death of THACHIULLY; he was found dead
in his bed on the morning of the 24th of
December. The London Times of the
day following remarks : Suddenly one of
our greatest literary men has departed.
Never more shall the fine head of Mr.
TuitosteasY, with its mass of silvery hair,
be aeon towering among us. It was but
two days ago that he might be seen at his
club, radiant and buoyant with glee.
Yesterday morning he was found dead in
hie bed.' With all his high spirits he did
not seem well; he complained of illness;
but he was often ill, and he laughed off
his present attack. He said that he was
about to undergo some treatment which
would work a perfect cure in his system,
and so he made light of his malady. He was
suffering ;from two distinct complaints,
one of which has now wrought his death.
More than a dozen years ago, while be
was writing "Pendennis," it will be re-
Membered that the pa blication of the
work was stopped by his serious illness.
Me was brought to death's door, and he
was saved from death by Dr. ELLIOTSON,
to whom, in gratitude, he dedicated the
novel when he lived to finish it. But ever
since that ailment he has been subject
every month or six weeks to attacks of
sickness f attended with violent retching.
He was congratulating himself the other
day on the failure of his old enemy to
return, and then be checked himself, as
if he might not to be too sure of a release
from his plague. On Wednesday morn
ing the complaint returned, and he was

about the time of leaving him for the
night, proposed to sit up with him. This
be declined. Re was heard moving about
midnight, and he must have died between
two and three in the morning of yester•
day. Hie.medical attendants attribute his
death to effusion on the brain. They
add that he had a very large brain, weigh•
ing no less than 584. cz.
He thus died of the complaint which seem •
ed to trouble him least. He died full of
strength and rejoicing, full of plans and
hopes. On Monday last he was congrat
ulating himself on having finished four
numbers of a new novel; he bad the man
uscript in his pocket, and with a boyish
frankness showed the last pages to a
friend, asking him to read them and , see
what he could make of them. When he
had completed four numbers more he
said he would subject himself to the skill
of a very clever surgeon, and be no more
an invalid. In the fullness of his powers
he has fallen before a complaint which
gave him no alarm.
HARRISBIIIIG CORRESPONDENCE
HARRISBURG, Jan. 12, 18t34.
Editor Pittsburgh Post:—l desire to call
the Atention of your readers to the fact
that a Mr. WATSON, a member of the
House from Philadelphia, has underta.
ken all the legislation for the city of Pitts
burgh. According to the following reso•
lutions, it wouiti seem that the people of
your city have not been able to select rep
recentatives capable of taking care of their
own interests. If such is not the act,
then the Allegheny delegation are too
cowardly to assume the responsibility of
the legislation proposed, and endeavor to
shirk it by means of a cat's paw. Subjoined
is the resolution cffered by a Philadel
phian :
Resolved, That the members of this
House from the county of Allegheny be a
special committee to inquire into the ex
pediency of consolidating the city and sn•
?irons of Pittsburgh into one municipal
corporation.
Environs should inquire into the cost o
the legislation sought for by Philadelphia
I observe :the introduction of a bill au
thorizing the city of Erie to sell her stock
in the Sunbury and Erie railroad com
pany. In accordance with my judgment,
a corporation like the city of Erie, (sup
posed to be honest,) must have taken this
stock in good faith. If it pays note a cor
poration should not make a sacrifice• If
it don't pay there should be no swindle
by the proposed sale. In this project is
there not a "nigger in the wood-pile?"
A committee to investigate and by the
contested election in the case of JOHN B.
CHAMBERS, a Democratic sitting member
from the district composed of Armstrong
and Westmoreland, is .constituted as fol
lows : Messrs. FOSTER, GUERNSEY, MAY
ER, HORTON, WINILIY, SEARIGHT, MYERS,
PRICE and LEE. As I recognize this com
mittee at a glance, I must confess that it
is composed of fair men, without a single
exception,
The Senate is no nearer an organization
than when I last communicated with you.
It is not possible to divine when it can be
consummated. I can simply say that thus
far there is no probability of either party
making a concession, In truth the Demo
crats have now gone farther in that line
than strict justice to an honorable constit
uency will guarantee.
One of the largest and most successful
Government contractors within my knowl ,
edge is Col. ALEXANDER M. WHITE, a broth
er of the renowned Libby prisoner and pro
fessed Senator. He has been sojourning
in this city for the last few days, and is bold
and defiant in his charges that Secretary
E. H. STANTON is solely at fault in the de•
tention of his gallant brother. After this
declaration can any Abolition Senator
have the hardihood to stand up in his place
and lay the blame at the feet of the De
mocracy ? C ertainly not.
Considerable preparation is being made
for the inauguration of ANDREW G. CcaTIN;
and, as I am informed, there is likely to be
a general change of liquor and flour in
spectors, and other minor officers, it is fair
to presume that the needy and hungry,
with their backers, will be here in force.

Address of the German Committee
on Schleswig Holstein.
The Germans of New York held a large
meeting on Friday evening to express
their opinions concerning the Holstein
question. They adopted an address,
which concludes as follows:
"The duchy of Holstein belongs, since
many centuries, to the German States,
and belongs now to the German Confeder
ation. Also the duoby of Schleswig has
been inseparably connected with the duchy
of Holstein since 1640 Both are and
have been, by language and manners, Ger.
man. Both have been subjected for eev
eral decades to deliberate denationalize.
Lion and cruel oppression. Both have
fought heroically since 1848 for their Ger
man rights, Both have been betrayed
shamefully by the Governments of Austna
and Prussia. Both must meet the fate of
Alsace and Lorraine, if the German peo
ple, for whose help they have called out,
do not protect them. The honor of the
German people demands that the arro
gant Danes be driven back by force of
arms; and the Germans of every land owe
their fatherland the most powerful help
in this matter."
Four Soldiers Frozen to Death
A correspondent of the New York Tri
bune, writing from the headquarters o
the army of the Potomac, at Brandy Ste
tion, says:
The weather of late has been intensely
cold, and on New Year's night four sol
diers were frozen to death. Quite a large
number of our troops suffered badly from
the severe frost, and many of them had
their limbs frost-bitten, and were so thor•
(nighty chilled that it reduired the exer
tion of medical skill to restore animation.
One or two of these unfortunate men
who were frozen to death, I regret to an
nounce, were in a state of intoxication,
bordering upon insensibility, and to this
fact alone may bo attributed their terri—
ble fate.
"Sorgo" Convention
At a sorgo convention lately in melon
at Columbus, Ohio, the opinion prevailed
that sorgo culture would Boon rank among
the important interests of the country;
that its permanency will not depend upon
the question of peace or war with the
South; in short, that the most active coin.
petition of Southern cane will not seri.
orally disturb the growth of sorgo in the
North. It was contended that aside from
the molasses and sugar sorgo furnishes, it
is one of the most profttadle articles for
fodder , and for theAtt i lt*, g of stooktkutt
can be grown.

Object of the Rebel Advance
•
CUM BERLAND, MD., Jan. :I.—Perhapa by
mere accident, rather than through gross
negligence, on the part of a rebel brigade
commander, we have become p)asessed of
an official document setting forth what
was intended to be the original plan of
General Early's late operations.
I have not now the opportunity to enter
into details, but in a general way will state
that General Early was to cut the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad at Martinsburg,
and by a combination of movements was
to attempt the capture of such ['pion
forces as were between Martinsburg and
New Creek. At the latter place General
Early, having heard that we were coucen
crating troops at Martinsburg, and having
also been reliably informed that General
Averill was there with a strong cavalry
force, determined, after a consultation
with several rebel commanders, to alter
his plan—he coming to the conclusion that
he would not attack Martinsburg with any
likelihood of success. and that he could
not now retreat without bringing censure
on himself for having advanced on no her•
ardous an enterprise without also having
at least made an effort to secure his object
or injure us iu some way. He therefore
dispatched Gene. Fitz Hugh Lee and Ros
ser to attempt the capture of the garrison
at Petersburg, Hardy enmity. How this
failed the reader already knows.
Rosser was to try and get into Cumber
land, and capture or destroy the stores
,here. Both Lee and R , lsser failed, be
cause Early could not get to them the
promised reinforcements, with artillery,
&c. This is what the official rebel docu
ment says in regard to the late movements
and the different plans adopted.—N. Y.
Herald.
News from Texas
A gentleman who lately Left the intertor
of Texas furnishes us some interesting
intelligence regarding afl•airs in the "Lone
Star State. Ltouston, for some years pro
violas to the rebellion the principal com
mercial mart of Central Texas, is at
present a mere military poet. The Gov
ernment having taken possession of all
the mills for its own use, lumber enough
cannot be purchased for the most ordi-
Lary purpose. The conscription and
draft both by the State and Confederate
State Governments were being vigorously
enforced. All the able-bodied men be.
tweßn the ages of eighteen and fifty are in
service, and many very old men are in
the local organizations. Our informant
states that well informed authorities say
that no less than 76,000 men have been
called to arms in Texas, of whom 30,000
have been killed or placed hers de combat
—many lie in northern and southern hos
pitals, and some are prisoners. At Get•
tysburg the Texans suffered severely. In•
dian raids are quite'frequent in the border
counties, and several small companies of
men are stationed there to protect the
people.—. New Orleans True Delta, Jan
uary 4.
Many German settlers had fled to the
woods to avoid the conscription; others
have gone to the Rio Grande. Our in—
formant is of the opinion that had the
Union movement into Texas been made a
year ago many of these men would have
been saved. Tho "Sons of the South,"
commonly called the S. S.'s, a secret
society of the vigilance committee order,
and supposed to be a branch of the K.
G. C.'s, had recently been organized in
every part of the state, and were actively
engaged in ferreting out men of Union
sentiment, and it was currently reported,
at times, of their own action,
and at
others with the aid of the military
thorjties, have murdered or banished
numbers of those o! whose viewa they
entertained suspicion. General Magruder
had caused the arrest of several promi•
neat men in Houston recently.
The number of troops west of the Mis
sissippi was currently estimated, in Texas,
at forty thousand men, distributed on the
line of the Indian Territory, Southern Ar
kansas, Western Louisiana and Texas.
They are assentially co-operative bodies.
Lieutenant General Kirby Smith has the
supreme command, and claims to be in
vested with extraordinary powers by pres
ident Davis. There has been a large in
crease of slaves in the State. Great nun-- 1
hers of white emigrants, with their nu•
merous slaves, have poured into all the
counties of the States from Missouri, Ar
kansas, and Louisiana. Oar informant
met occasional bands of negroes going in
the direction of Mexico. Many negroes
were being sold at auction in Houston,
bringing about $3,000 confederate curren
cy—say $BOO in gold.
The cotton trade, which had been quite
vigorously carried on for a year past, has
been permanently arrested by General
Bank's occupation of the Rio Grande.
This movement of General Banks has
proved a severe blow to the Texas cotton
traders—in which the rebel government
was largely interested—and oar informant
thinks that Magruder will strain every
nerve to drive out the Union forces. The
u r 4 OK , army, however, is highly favored,
by the configuration of the country, and
the character of it between the Rio Grande
add the Nences, where, from the scarcity
of water, only cavalry moving from post
to post can operate to advantage. Oar
informant witnessed considerable suffering
among the people.
Many of the fami i ies of the soldiers
were p)orly nrepared to meet the rigors
ct winter. There is no lack of provisions
in Texas, but the prices are enormous.
Wheat., cora, beef, mutton. &c., were
plenty. There was very little disposition
in some localities to take confederate
money, and military authority was fre
quently interposed to compel persons to
I accept it for whatever they might sell.
How to Detect Small.-Pox
A writer in the Eclectic Journal gives
the following directions as to the detec
tion of small-pox in its early stages:
Variola, or small-pox, besides being a
contagious eruptive fever, is one of the
most loathsome and offensive diseases
that is known in the long calendar of
afflictions peculiar to the human family.
It is admitted by moat of all authors that
small pox is inaugurated by chills, suc
ceeded by febrile reaction, much like re
mittent fever, nausea, thirst, &c. In a
few hours the head becomes affected with
perhaps stupor and drowsiness, or a wake
ful and restless feeling. But these and
other symtoms belong to several febrile
diseases. In from twelve to twenty-four
hours, unbearable pains approach the
back, and extend down the limbs, and
prevade the whole frame. The physician
may now suspect the approach of small
pox, but has nothing yet to base an opin
ion. On the third day the eruption
appears, giving partial relief to the pa
tient. The attention of the physician is
now called to this eruption, and it is
expected that he will at once decide.
He looks at his patient, but if he is a
wise man be guards his tongue, for, if the
eruptions be sparse or scattered, it may
be a case of chicken pox; again, if the
eruptions be thickly set, with scarlet ap•
pearance, he hesitates, because it may be
measles. Here the doctor is in a tight
Flare, becauseall the old ladies and every
body else are on tiptoe, ready to flee from
the "wrath to come," if he says small
pox.
Now we offer this secret to the pro
fession—so soon as the eruptions appear,
and by pressure with the point of the fin•
ger may distinctly be felt the small, hard
substance precisely as it a small, fine
shot had been placed under the cuti•
cle of the skin. This peculiar appearance
belongs to no other eruptive disease.
We have applied the term secret here;
for, whilst it is and has been known to a
few physicians, it is not mentioned in any
of the standard authorities; nor does the
writer claim the credit of the discovery.
Atter this all works upon practice will
add this unfailing diagnostic system.
Death of the king of the Sandwich
Islands
Kamehameha IV., the King of the
Sandwich Islands, who has recently died,
was born February oth, 1834. He was
well educated by missionaries from this
country, and traveled in Europe. He was,
married in 1.856 to Miss Emma Rooker,
daughter of an English physician. As the
fruit of this union a eon was born in 1858,
but he lived only a short time. In 1869
the King attempted, in a fit of jealousy, to
murder his secretary. He proposed then
to abdicate but was persuaded to retain
hie place. It is thought that during the
last few years he has been more under the
influence of the English clergymen than
formerly. It was his uncle, Kamehameha
11., who, in 1819, abolished idolatry in the
islands, and introduced Christianity. The
name of the sovereign j3et deceased was
Alexander Liholiho. His brother sue
ceeds to the throne, and it is announced
that no change of policy will take place,
A Man Baked to Death
The Newark ( New J ersey ) Journal
records the followi ng
"On Saturday last a mat, flawed I),sv,d
Walston, employed in Stengel's patent
leather manufactory, Plane street, was
missed from his work, and it was euppc3•
ed that he had left the premises. Os
Tuesday an unpleasant smell was noticed
in the vicinity of a large heated chamber,
and on Wednesday the smell increasing
in offensiveness, one of the men in the
factory entered the archway to ascertain
the cause, and there discovered the Cody
of Winston reclining against the wall.
The chamber was too hot to allow of the
immediate removal of the remains, but it
was evident that the unfortunate man had
been literally baked to death. He had
probably gone in for the purpose of warm•
ing himself, and was so overpowered by
the heat as to be unable to find his way
out. The oven was cooled off yesterday
afternoon and the body removed from its
awful tomb."
Fastest Passage on Record
The extraordinary and unprecedented
performance of the Canard steamer Scotia
upon her last passage out has already been
remarked upon. From Sandy Hook to
Cape Clear she was seven days and three.
quarters, from New York to Queeretown
eight days, a feat unprecedented. From
New York to the Mersey the time was
eight days 21 hours, including all stop
pages.
TEE Boston Courier says: The Repub
lican press, in general, has been trying Of
late to persuade itself ar.d its readers that
McClellan was "nowhere." Of course
we took this to be policy; of about the
same quality, to be sure, of• shrewdness,
with that of the ostrich, which supposes
her whole person concealed becease she
has hidden her own head in the sand,
But the following passage, which we cut
from the Evening Traveller's review .of
the week, on the last Saturday, indicates
the beginning of a clearer insight into
the future, on the part of some Republi
cans. Indeed, we hear of many Repub•
Beane in this quarter who are looking for
ward to support "Little Mac" with all
their might and main. The Traveller
says:
'The Conservatives have nominated
General McClellan for the Presidency.
We are glad of that action, as that action
will compel the Democrats, if they wish
to make any fight to speak of, also to take
the General as their leader in that politi
cal Peninsula campaign on whioh the op•
position are so soon to enter; and then the
Republicans must nominate a military
man. unless they wish to she 'Little Mac'
