CLEARFIELD, PA., MAY 29, 1861.
The Pesnstxtasla. Troops. It appears
that much dissatisfaction exists at the miser
able way in which the Pennsylvania troops
have been supplied with clothing and food un
der our State authorities. The blankets and
clothing, according to accounts, have many
of them been cheap, flimsy, rotten 6tuff ; al
most ready to tall to pieces. The shoes have,
In some cases, been pasted together or the
soles filled with pine shavings. In truth, it is
said that the .Pennsylvania troops are the most
miserably clad, of all volunteers called into
the service j and, after all, the State has to
pay more for it, than the cost of uniform
clothing of the first quality. Making full al
lowance for exagerations, we are still con
vinced that there has been some mismanage
ment and fraud somewhere. It is a burning
disgrace to our State, and especially to the
State officers who have the control of this
thirg, that it is so. Some corrupt men have
been cheating the State and robbing our pa
triotic soldiers. Every man who has had any
hand in this business, be he high or low, should
be instantly dismissed; and if the law can
reach him, he should be brought to speedy
justice. .Tbe late national administration of
Buchanan was justly blamed and condemned
for its extravagance and corruption. We do
not want the same system of things to be in
augurated under a Republican State adminis
tration. If any Republican is ever detected
in such schemes, he should be ordered to
leave the service in double quick time. None
but men of systematic business habits and un
bounded integrity, should be intrusted with
the duty of contracting for supplies. Such
corrupt practices will not be tolerated by the
people, nor should it be by our State officers.
' The Southern States. We see it stated
that the Secretary of the Interior, Hon. Caleb
B. Smith, has refused payment to all persons
in the Seceded States who claim compensa
tion for taking the census; and that ho has
determined to withhold from all persons in
those States the benefits of the pension and
patent laws. Those States have also deprived
themselves of all benefits arising from the
canal system, and the advantages resulting
from the coast surveys, and, as per late ad
vices from Washington, they are now left with
out the mail facilities of the Federal Govern
ment. These things may have the effect of
creating discontent among the honest masses
of the South; and if so, the leaders maybe
compelled to flee the country, not from any
tear of Federal troops, but from the indigna
tion of a deceived and injured people ia their
own section.
Death or Col. Ellsworth. This noble sol
' dier has fallen by assassination. The news of
his death has caused a profound sensation ev
erywhere. He had driven the traitors from
Alexandria, and just hauled down their flag,
when he was shot through the heart by a man
named Jackson, the proprieter of the Marshal
House. Jackson was seized and killed on the
spot. Thus, the death of Col. Ellsworth was
promptly avenged, so far as the immediate a
gent was concerned ; but if treason intends to
fight its battles by assassination, a terrible ret
ribution will come upon many of its followers
In the death of Col. E. the loyal portion of the
country has sustained a great loss ; but it may
prove a dire calamity to the rebel section of
onr land, and to tho leaders and authors of
. this murderers spirit.
An Important Move. One day last week,
a simultaneous descent was made by order of
the General Government, on all.the principal
telegraph offices in the North; and the des
patches, which had accumulated for several
years, seized and taken to Washington. It is
thought, that these despatches will furnish
the government with much important infor
mation, relating to the movements of the
Southern rebels. It is also understood, that
many persons will be implicated, who have
heretofore been considered as averse to the
movements of the rebels; and that several ar
rests will soon be made. -Time alone , will
show, whether these conjectures are well
founded or not.
The Chops. Accounts have been received
from nearly all parts of the Northern and
t Western States, in regard to the growing
' crops ; which are said to be in fine condition,
and that the prospect for an abundant harvest
was never more flattering. The fruit, howev
er, has been much damaged by the late frosts,
In many localities ; yet, it is thought, that the
apple crop will be at least an average one; but
that peaebes will be scarce, as many of the
trees have been killed during the past winter.
North Carolina. An intelligent gentle,
man just returned from a Journey to Wilming-
p ton, North Carolina, says soldiers are pouring
i in all along the road. - They are raw, young,
weak-bodied, poorly disciplined, insufficiently
armed, and greatly inferior to ours here. He
thinks there is a general disbelief of immedi
ate hostilities. Provisions are plenty,-

that 400 of the 7thHegiment will remain, en

LETTEE FBOU CAMP JOHNSON.
Camp Johnson, May1 20th, 1861.
Ma. Editor : This being a cold and rainy
day, and having but little'camp-duty to per
form, I thought, perhaps, a line to you, would
not be altogether uninteresting to your rea
ders. Camp Johnson (named In honor of our
Col.) is situated orrtbe Fair ground, one mile
from Lancaster city ; and quiteclose to w ncai
land, the residence of ex-President Buchan
an. Our quarters would be very comforta
ble, if tho weather was not so cold, as h is,
the men do not eniov themselves as mucn as
they would if they were properly clothed and
fed. They complain very mucu auoui uoi
having received their clothes ; and at times
they are a liitle nprorious on account of not
receiving sufficient to eat. Yesterday, we
were visited by Gen. Neagley. He reviewed
the two regiments quartered here, and ex
pressed great satisfaction at the manner in
which they acquited themselves. II o promis
ed to use his best endeavors to have the men
fed plentifully ; and clothed and cquiped as
soon as possible. The 44 boys" from Smith's
Mills are in good health, and would enjoy
soldiering very much, if it were not for
thoughts of home. I mean those who left
families. When we left home, the citizens
of Smith's Mills and vicinity pledged them
selves to maintain our wives and children
We are all poor men, and our families depend
ed upon our labor for their support. We
thought we could trust those who made these
promises; and, therelore left home cheerful
ly and eagerly, to help maintain the honor of
our beloved country. The first news we re
ceived from home, was lrom the wife of our
1st Lieut., savins that she had at her own ex
pense procured enough meat to do her for
three months, ana tne nigni aiter sue receiver
it. some poor, contemptable being stole it.
He is known ; and, unless he makes full resti
tution, when we get back, we will, under tne
command of our brave Lieut., give him a taste
of soldier's justice. Since then, in every let
ter received, our wives complain of ill treat
ment. Not one or two, but all who have
written to their husbands. When in need of
any thing, they say they are told to pay the
money or do without it. This they cannot do
until their husbands receive their first months
pay, when they will send home what money
they can. These are facts, and with such
facts staring us in the face, how can we go
forward with the cheerful countenance we
should. But there is One that ordereth all
things well, and he will protect those loved
ones we nave left behind.
To our friends we send our best wishes, and
they may rest assured, that Clearfield shall
never have cause to blush for the honor of her
sons now in the army. Man Kendic.
In the above, our Smith's Mills friends are
complained ot, as not fulfilling their promises
Perhaps, no arrangements havo been made for
relief? If not, it should be attended to at
once. There is one remark, however, that we
wish to make. It is this : sometimes persons
expect too much their demands become rath
er extravagant, and do not exercise the econ
omy that they should. We do not say that
this ia so in the above case ; but, we have
hoard of such, and therefore make the remark
If any injustice is done to the citizens of
Smith's Mills, in the above, we shall cheerful
ly give their statement; and, it they have neg
lected their duty, we hope they will attend to
it without delay. ,We do not make these re
marks to censure any one, but for the pur
pose of calling attention to any neglect that
may exist in our county. Ed. Journal.
The Strength of the Free States. One
of the great elements of strength in the north
em, or rather the free states, is composed of
mechanics. In no other country in the world
does this element exist in a like degree of use
fulness, influence and power and in no other
country does it wield the same weighty control
in governmental affairs. The American me
chanic, when taking advantage ot bis position
and the means before him for deriving infor
mation, is not a mero workman in wood or
iron -or a machine driven by the impulses and
genius of others. He represents science and
art, by the improvements he makes in both
and by his developments in mechanical skill.
increases the productive energy ol every
branch of industry. The young mechanic of
to-day is the embodiment of the grandeur of
the ago because the most glorious achieve
meats of our times are those which are made
in the field of practical science, as mechanics
are all that is practical. The locomotive and
the magnetic telegraph the implements of
war the spinning-jenny gutta percha all
combined, constitute the glory, the wealth and
the comfort of the age and each in their turn
are the representative, with the aid of the liv
ing mechanic, of a fame that will survive long
after common men and their memories have
become extinct. In the battles and struggles
before us in the changes which must follow
tho march of our armies from home, and those
which will greet them as they advance, none
will be so great as those which will flow from
the accessions of new and young men to the
work shops of the free states, to take the pla
ces of those who have left, while those made.
on tho lace of the country, and wielded over
the future of a people who are ignorant of all
mechanical power, by an intercourse with the
mechanic, in an army of occupation, time will
show in more benefits and splendor than we
can now describe. A free intercourse with
free mechanics, is the only influence that will
redeem the south. It is the influence that has
made the west what it is, developing its power
improving its soil, navigating its rivers, erec
ting its towns and cities, and in every way by
practical uses and earnest industry, accom
plishing the great results which have since
added so many empires, in the shape of com
monwealths, to the Union of States.
A Swindle. A pleasant swindle has just
been discovered. Government owns acres of
land behind the City Hall, on which is erected
a hospital. Having no present use for it
Congress allowed the City Corporation the use
reserving a right to forty berths, for $6,000
yearly. The new Administration wished to
use the infirmary, and knew nothing of the
provious arrangement. It hired, for $1,000
per month, its own propeity. The Medical
Faculty, in making this lease-secession, shows

fcow generally ine capital is intectea. trov
ernment wont pay henceforward, but may find
irouoie in recovering, rne racuity acknowl
edge the facts, but says Congress only are em
powered to act.
The Position of England. One indication
of the ignorance of England respecting the
present state of our affairs, is shown in the
fact that dispatches to Lord Lyons by the last
steamer, were brought by a courier extraor
dinary. Lord Lyon's dispatches by the pre
vious steamer were not received, in conse
quence of the stoppage of the mails. The
British Ministry apparantly thought there was
danger that Washington might have been ta
ken, or a hostile force thrown between it and
New York by this time. From such a, state
of belief, Lord John Russell's parlimentary
remarks probably grew.
The Pennsylvania Regiments. Three
more Pennsylvania regiments were accepted
by Mr. Cameron than the quota, including the
12th. 13th. and 16th. and received mat-chin?
orders. The 6th Pennsylvania regiment re
ceived overcoats from Philadelphia, and found
they were of four colors and bad material.
SUMMARY OF NEWS.
The President, while seated in his new ba
rouche, with Mr. Cameron, awaiting Mr. Chase,
at the Treasury Department,- to proceed to the
funeral of Col. Yosburgh, espied, on the steps
of that building, a poor-looking, deformed
young man, with crutches, whom he called to
his side and questioned as to his condition.
The lad responded promptly to the' Presiden
tial queries, and, with tears of joy pocketed a
gold piece which Mr. Lincoln gave him prob
ably the first bo bad ever possessed, buch
acts of liberality and disinterested charity are
frequently practised by our Executive, who
can nevet look upon distress witnoui attempt
ing to relieve it. , r. .
General Cadwallader's troops seized fifteen
hundred muskets and four thousand pikes se
creted in the Eight ward, Baltimore, last week
and took them to Fort McHenry. This caused
much excitement, but no serious opposition.
The Eighth ward is known as the "Bloody
Eighth," and is cognomened "Limerick." It is
supposed the arms were stored for their use m
case of another secession emeute. Some box
es were marked Virginia muskets. It is un
derstood seizures of other arms of a similar
kind will be made in a few days. Gen. Scott
says he cannot have disunion enemies in arms
in bis rear.
A resident of Norfolk, just arrived, declares
that there are four hundred cannon mounted
on the banks of the river, and that the batter
ies extend for miles below the city. . He
boasts that the guns are of the heaviest caliber
and most improved construction, and com
manded by the best army and navy officers of
the old Federal Union. They believe the
combined fleets of the world could not capture
Norfolk by sea. He adds that Old Point Com
fort was also so securely fortified as to be im
pregnable to an attack.
Major Gen. Butler has arrived and taken
command at Fotress Monroe. He will imme
diately form a grand encampment of the regi
ments now arriving, preparatory to bis taking
posession of Norfolk and the Navy Yard.
Fifteen hundred cannon were left in the Navy
Yard at the time of its destruction, Ilis or
ders'are to seize everything, and confiscate all
articles -which he may deem necessary to his
command, also to press everything into ser
vice, and make terms if possible if not, to
seize without.
A gentleman of Washington, who has re
cently returned from a visit to Kentucky,
wb ere be has a large acquaintance, says that
the loyalty of that State is unquestionable.
The great majority of her people are as devo
ted to the Union as the citizens of Pennsylva
nia, and they are determined not only to resist
the machinations of the Secessionists to the bit
ter end, but perfectly willing that we should
march our armies over her soil, if such a move
ment is necessary for the triumph of our cause.
Dispatches by the Persia state that the a
gents of the Rebel Gevernment bavo explor
ed Europe in vain for arms, munitions, or
money, to be had in exchange for their bonds.
Mr. Dudley Mann had sought an interview with
Mr. George Peabody, with the hope of nego
tiating an interview, but bad been politely but
firmly repulsed. In no case had they found
theip-securities marketable at the largest dis
count they could offer as a temptation.
T. Butler King, the secession commissioner
who was not received at the French Court,
tried to leave Paris for Brussels without a
passport, but was not allowed to depart with
out the necessary papers. He was compelled
to apply to Mr. Faulkner, who gave him the
requisite documents, recognizing him as a
citizen of the United States. The Confeder
ation isn't known in France.
The Government put into commission the
steam flotilla for the Potomac river and the ad
jacent waters. This fleet is beaded by the U.
S. steamer Freeborn, Capt. Ward, which is
known as the flag ship. There are four other
vessels, now afloat, of light draft and heavy
guns, intended to chase and capture all pirates
and other Secession violators of the laws of
the country.
Two reconnoisance were pushed Southward
from Chambersburg, last week, who report
that they passed the lines of the Confederate
army and went deliberately through the camps.
They saw 300 troops ten miles from Harper's
Ferry, and 700 at Williarasport. No reinforce
ments had arrived.
The steamers of the bay route from Baltimore
to Norfolk have resumed their trips. They
land, however, at Old Point, and passengers,
cannot get across to Norfolk without a pass
from Fortress Monroe or the commander of
the blockading squadron.
The State of Mississippi has taken the
school fund to buy implements of war for trai
tors and rebels. This is the last act of a Com
monwealth which repudiated its honest debts,
and produced a President for a confederacy
of pirates.
Gen. J. E. Johnston, late in command of
the Federal forces in Utah, has been ordered
by Jeff. Davis to take command at Harper's
Ferry, and Gen. Beauregard at Norfolk. Jeff.
Davis will remove to Richmond on the 1st of
June.
The Virginians have removed Cape Henry
light and built fires on the beach, about half a
mile distant, to deceive captains, in conse
quence of which the Albion, with 800 tuns
iron, from England to Baltimore, ran ashore.
The overthrow of J. Morrison Harris of Bal
timore for Congress, and nomination of Mr.
Leary, was because the former opposed the
position of the Government, and the latter was
for the Union under all circumstances.
Government is hourly in anticipation oftdis
patches from Fort Pickens announcing the
commencement of hostilities. Naval officers
here express the firm belief that the rebels
will be outflanked by the laud force.
The withdrawal of the Utah army is proba
ble, before long. Mr. Alvord, Superintend
ent of the Overland Mail here, says he will
throw up his contract if the army is with
drawn. He is afraid of the Indians.
Samuel Hanna, for many years in the Post
Office of Camden, New Jersey, has been ar
rested. He is charged with being a bearer of
despatches to Governor Letcher, of Virginia.
Gen. Scott stated last week, that 60,000 men
were wanted : along the banks of tbe Ohio.
This seems to do away with tbe idea that an
attack is soon to be made on Harper's Ferry.
A Quantity of baggage and paper, belong
ing to the rebel General Leo, of Virginia, have
been seized in New York, and also a consign
ment of arms destined for Baltimore.
There has been rioting at Harbor Grace, in
New Fonndland, but the outbreak was quieted
by the troops without loss o'. life. Several of
the rioters were taken prisoners. :
A company from' Chillicothe, that could
not be mustered into service, has oflered the
Government a bonus of $4,500 for tbe privi
lege ot serving during the war.
Both Houses of the Kentucky Legislature
have adopted a regulation requiring tbe State
Guard to take the oath to support the Consti
tution of the United States.
Tbe steamer Monticello is said to have re
ceived a ball or two in her hull during the ex,

Missouri. Maj. General Price, commander-in-chief
of the Missouri militia, arrived at
St. Louis on the evening of the 20th, and the
following morning had an interview with Gen
eral Harney, when a plan was agreed upon for
the maintenance of peace, and the avoidance
of future conflicts between the Federal and
State Governments. They mutually declare
a common object, that of restoring peace and
order under laws of tbe Genera ljand State Gov
ernments, and to tbe people and the State, in
subordination to unite in recommending all
persons to respect each other's rights through
out the State, and to make no attempt to ex
ercise unauthorized powers, as it is the deter
mination of the proper authorities to suppress
all unlawful proceedings, which can only
disturb the publio peace. General Price
pledges the whole power of the State and its
officers to maintain order among tbe people of
the State, and General Harney declares that,
this object being assured, he can have no oc
casion, as he has uo wish, to make military
movements which might otherwise oreate ex
citement and jealousies, which he most earn
estly desires to avoid. They therefore enjoin
npon the people to attend to their civil busi
ness, and express the hope that the unjust ele
ments which have threatened so seriously to
disturb the public peace may soon subside, and
be remembered only to be deplored.
The city of Chicago has contributed three

Flag Raising in Washington. At noon,
on Wednesday the 22d, an immense concourse
of enthusiastic persons witnessed the ceremon
ies attendant on the raising ef the American
flag over the General Post Office building.
The President and bis Cabinet were seated on
a platform especially erected for their accom
modation, together with several other distin
guished gentlemen.
General Skinner on behalf of the officers
and clerks of the Department opened the pro
ceedings by addressing the President, saying
among other fhings that they, in the manifes
tation of their devotion to the country, the
Constitution and the preservation of the U
uion, had determined to raise on the building
the glorious stars and stripes under which our
forefathers bad fought, and uuder which flag
they achieved our independence, and under
which it was- now hoped freedom would be
perpetuated in all coming time. The clerks,
he said were proud of this opportunity of tes
tifying to the President their fidelity and de
votion to the Union, which they were deter
mined to maintain to the end. They would
deem it tbe highest honor consistent with the
occasion if he would condescend to raise the
flag to the mast from which it n to float.
The President having advanced to tho front
of tbe platform, was enthusiastically greeted
from the crowd beWw. The President said
he was very happy on all occasions to be the
humble instrument of folwarding the very
worthy objects which bad been expressed ; he
tberofore too pleasure in performing the part
assigned to bun, and supposing that any ex
fended remarks were not expected from him
he would proceed at once to act his part.
He then hoisted the flag by a hand over
baud movement, amid deafening cheers, ac
companied by the waving of hats, and of han
kerchiels from the ladies, the bands playing in
tbe meantime the national anthem "The Star
Spangled Bauner." The flag having been at
tached to the staff the three cheers and repeat
were given, the occupants of the neighboring
trees, house tops and windows participating
in the general demonstration of joy.
The President again appeared on the front
platform, saying it had occurred to him that
a few words would be appropriate to this oc
casion : . "Several weeks ago the stars and
stripes hung lankly about their staffs all over
the Union. So it was to-day, when this flag
was first raised ; but this glorious breeze has
unfurled it, and it now floats as it should.
He hoped the same breeze was now spreading
out our glorious flag all over tbe nation."
Tbe expression met with a general aud en
thusiastic response from the delighted multi
tude. Postmaster General Blair on behalf of
the officers and clerks of the department,
thanked the assemblage for their presence.

LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF TRUTH AND
REASON AND PROFIT BY IT.
The time has come that all who will can escape
the iron grasp of Mercury, by calling, without de
lay, to see tho well known and justly celebrated
Eclectic European Physician, DR. BORT, who
will administer those only true and safe medi
cines, extracted from the most choice Roots and
Herbs, which are prepared under his own super
vision, and therefore avoiding the use of a 11 Min
eral Poison's, which were never designed for the
system, to take which many thousand have fallen
victims and gone to early graves.
THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.
Remember that Dr. Bort wants no patients but
those fully capable of appreciating and distin
guishing the services of a regular thorough bred
physician, from a paltry, unlearned and trifling
quack.
Remember, Dr. Bort's remedies and treatment
are entirely unknown to all others in this coun
try; prepared from a life spent in the great hos
pitals of Europe and the first in the country.
Remember, that Dr. Bort has a more extended
practice than any other physician in Western
Pennsylvania. '
Remember, that citizens of education and onr
popular men are all well acquainted with, and
take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Bort to
the afflicted.
Remember, that Dr. Bort makes no false repre
sentations to gull the unfortunate, but all he says
will be faithfully carried out.
Remember, that Dr. Bort pays every attention
to diseases ot a chronio nature.
Certificates of Cures may be seen at his respec
tive rooms.
Dr. B. is furnished with over six thousand let
ters of recommendations from some of the most
distinguished men living. Also has awarded to
him diplomas from some of the most celebrated
Hospitals and Infirmaties in Europe, for his up
parallelled observations in Diagnosis, and obser
vations in discovering remedies for the cure of
diseases that have heretofore befallen the skill of
many of the medical profession.
An early call from those wishing to consult the
Doctor, is earnestly requested, so as to receive full
benefit of treatment, and thus do justice tq him
solf. Time limited-
Please bear in mind when Dr. B. will be in your
place. Persons desirous ot consulting him'will
oonfer a great favor by calling on the first day of
hia arrival, as his Rooms are, so often crowded, it
is utterly impossible to attend to the anxious so
licitations of all. Dr Bort will arrive at each of
tbe above places op the first train or stage on tbe
day appointed.
Please extend the invitation to all invalid ac
quaintances, and oblige youn, lc.
