o
afaait's ImmtaL
BY SAMUEL J. ROW.
CLEARFIELD, PA., DEC. 25, 1861.
"A Peace Commission from Yankeedom."
Under the above beading, tbe Norfolk Day
Book of Dec. 9tb, discusses at some length
Mr. Saulsbnry's resolutions proposing to ap
point "Commissioners to confer with a like
Commission from tbe so-called Confederate
States," "tor the preservation of the Union,"
etc. We make tbe following extracts from
the Day-Book's article :
"Wo would recommend to those 'Constitu
tion' cobblers tbe peculiar virtue ol Spaul
ding's glue' for their purpose, with the assur
ance that tbey will find quite as much virtue
in that article as they would likely find in the
combinded wisdow of all the statesmen in the
world for the repair and preservation of an
instrument that has been so badly rent as what
was once the 'Constitution of the United
States.' j3$ fortheir Union, we would remind
them that it is an excellent Union for them, be
ing composed of such, despicable, God-forsaken
icoundrels as were never raked together in out
parcel since the world has been a world. It is
now a perfect dog-eal-dag conglomeration of negro-thieves
and pirates ; and as they hare got
rid of the honest people of the South, they are
now at liberty to 'go it with a rush.'
"May be they would lika a cessation of hos
tilities for a time during the palaver of the
coram ssssoners, as another resolution propo
ses in order to get an opportunity to accom
plish some object they have in view. But pos
sibly our people have had enough of sueh dodges
in the Crittenden compromise schemes, which
were afterwards proved to be but means used
to gain time on their part.
lf tbey desire peace they have but to with
draw their troops from our soil, and let us
alone, and, until they do this, we should pcrse
veringly scorn any proposition eminaling from,
them.
Wo wonder if these poor, miserable, de-graded,negro-stealing
wretches do really think
to gammon the people of the South still fur-,
ther 1 What under heavens should we want
with a union with them 1 To share the debts
caused by their folly 1 To share alike with
them the contempt of the world ? Foi surely
we can conceive of nothing else we should gain
by any futnre alliance with them."
The above remarks arc pointed, and show
tbe general feeling which pervades the leaders
of the rebellion. The Day-Book strongly in
timates that all the "compromisers" in the
north are "despicable, God-forsaken scoun
drels" a "perfect conglomeration of negro-
thieves and pirates" and advises them to re
sort to :Spaulding's gluo" to "cobble the
Constitution," as they will Gnd"quite as much
virtue in that article" for their purpose, as in
the "combined wisdom" of such "constitu
tion cobblers" as the "Crittenden corapro
misers," "reconstructibnists," and "Peace
Party" men. The Day-Book also seems to
rejoice that tbe "honest people of tbe South"
have got rid of these "poor, miserable, de
graded, negro-stcalSng wretches," and thinks
tbe norlhcrn Union may bo "an excellent
Union for them," but it "scorns any propo
sition eminating from them." Such is the
tone and language of the Southern press,
and shows tbe means resorted to to stimulate
their deluded followers to further acts of
disloyalty. What will the "Peace Party"
men and others who are continually harping
on "reconstruction" think of the Day-Book's
remarks 1 What will the sticklers for the
Crittenden compromise" think of the dose
administered to them 7 Verily they all havo
their reward.
The War Tax. The Heading Journal makes
some suggestions on tho subject of the man
ner in which the tax for war purposes shall bo
collected in this State. To assess and collect
tbe sum allotted, separately from the ordinary
State and county taxes, would be a work of
great vexation and expense. It would mnlli
ply office holders, and sorely oppress the peo
ple. By the law of Congress it is provided
that if the State authorities shall assume the
payment of this tax into the national treasury,
an abatement of fifteen per cent, of the quota
shall be made. We hope that Governor Cur-
tin will take occasion to press this subject up
on the Legislature in hi annual message, and
that they will promptly direct the proper
measures to be taken to pay over tho tax and
have th amount collected from the people
under .the present assessment of taxable prop
erty. By such action expedition and economy
will be fiappily combined.
Tjie Canadiaii Fbontier. Tbe Detroit M
Kriwer states that a rumor, based upon what
is considered reliable, authority, is prevalent
among the inhabitants of Windsor and Sand
wich, that the military commission, now mak
ing thetour of the Province, will shortly ar
rive at those places, and put them, as well as
Maiden, in a .complete state of defense. It is
lso staled that the Government steamers will
proceed f rom Quebec and winter oa the Jakes,
fo bo readyjfor emergencies.
Oca State Ahead. In examining the list
of troops raised by each State, as published
in Secretary Cameron's Report, we observe
with pleasure that, including the three months'
service, Pennsylvania has raised the largest
number of men, her whole quota being about
114,000, while the next force is Sew York,
with 110,000. Next to these come Ohio, 91,
000, Illinois, 84,000, and Indiana, $2,000.
Fortress Monroe. Dec. 21. The Ericsou
has arrived from Part Royal. She towed aev
en of the stone fjeet Jo Charleston, where they
were taken in charge by six gun boats, .whe
trill sink them in tbe channels.
IMPORTANT WAR NEWS.
Battles in Missouri,' Kentucky, Virginia, etc
Locistilie, Dec. 18. The recent engage
ment at Mnmfordsville, proves, when the dis
porportion of numbers is considered, to have
been the most brilliant victory yet achieved.
Four companies, of about 360 men of Col.Wil
lich's regiment, led by Lieut. Col. Van Web
er, drove back over 3,000 rebel cavalry, artil
lery, aud infantry. They were first attacked
by a regiment of Texas cavalry, whom they re
pulsed and followed, when they were drawn
into an ambush and fired at from all sides by
the rebel infantry. The Federals returned
the fire vigorously, and stood their ground un
til the rebels fell back, leaving all their dead
and most of their wounded on the field. No
reinforcements reached Colonel Van Weber's
command, as reported, until alter the engage
ment was over. Captain Stone's Louisville
battery supported the Federals from the north
side of Green river. The firing was at very
long range, from rifiod cannon. Four other
companies were on the south side of the river,
but engaged as pickets a mile and a quarter
distant from the scene of action. Among tho
Federals killed were Lieateaant Sachs, of Cin
cinnati, who himself had killed eight men
men with two revolvers, but finally received
nine bullets from the rebels. Of the Texas
Rangers sixty-two were killed, besides Col.
Perry. The number of the wounded is un
known, but it is supposed to have been large.
The Federal forces buried their dead. Four
teen rebel horses were found dead on tbe field,
and three rebels taken prisoners. Parties
who have just arrived from the sceno of the
fight report that, sixty-nine dead and wounded
rebels were found in the bushes. Tho Feder
al loss was 10 killed on the spot, 7 mortally
wounded. Of those mortally wounded four
have since died. Tho rebels lost a colonel, a
captain, and a lieutenant. The Federal forces
on the south side of the Green river have
been considerably augmented, but tho report
of a general crossing of Federals to the south
ward, is denied. This movement will not
probably take place till the Green river bridgo,
on which a large forco is now engaged in re
constructing, is finished. The rebels sent a
flag of truce to-day, asking permission to inter
their dead.
. St. Louis, Dec. 19. Despatches received
to-day at headquarters from General Pope,
states that after a forced march, yesterday, he
got between tbe enemy, encamped six miles
from Chilbowee, Johnson county, and 2,200
strong in Clinton and Henry counties ; but as
soon as they had heard of his approach, they
beat a rapid retreat towards Rose Hill, in
Johnson county, leaving all their baggage and
a largo quantity of amis, munitions, papers,
&c, in our possession. Gen. Pope then
threw forward ten companies of cavalry and a
soction of artillery in pursnit, following with
the main body of his army. When at John
son, in Bates county, the Rebels were so
closely pursued that they scattered in all di
rections, but mostly towards the south. Gen.
Popo then forced a strong cavalry reconnoi
sance to within fifteen miles of Osceola, and
intercepted and captured one hundred and
fifty flashing rebels, and all their baggage,
horses, &c. Other squads of some ten or fif
teen rebels were taken, making the aggregate
number. of prisoners about three hundred.
No fighting is reported to have occurred.
Gen. Pope says tho whole country between
Rose Hill on the west, and Grand River on
the south is clear of rebels. General Price
has only eight thousand troops at Osceola.
It is understood that General Pope will send
a strong f orce of cavalry to Lexington. The
main body of hii army is now en route for
Sedalia. A train of seventy wagons with
clothing and supplies for Price, has been cap
tured, in addition to the articles previously
reported.
Point or Rocks, Dec. 19. At 10 o'clock
this morning a rebel battery of three guns
flanked with about 200 infantry suddenly
commenced shelling Col. Geary's regiment.
About 20 of the shells, which wet e well aimed,
fell in the encampment. The six companies
in camp were immediately well deployed and
entrenched and tho battery of the Penn'a 28th
opened fire with two guns. Tho first shot
which was sighted by'Capt. Knap, disabled
one of the rebel guns, and tho second sighted
by Lieut. Geary fell in their centre. Our
battery then advanced and poured a continu
ous fire into the rebels, silencing all their guns
and driving back a fourth one which was sent
to reinrorce them. Tho rebels were driven
from their positions in full retreat, with the
loss of 14 killed as far as known aud a great
many wounded. Our side did not lose a man.
After the rout of the rebels the victors
turned their guns on some houses situated
near the old furnace, whero about 130 rebels
were secreted. They drove them out killing
a number of them.
Nkw York, Dec. 19. The steamer Atlantic
has arrived from Port Royal with dates to the
19th. She brings 12,000 pounds Sea Island
cotton gathered by tho negroes nnder the di
rection of government agents. Gen. Steven's
brigade of 9,000 men occupied Beaufort, Lady
Island, St. Helena and Bay Point. Gen.
Sherman has issued orders that all the report
ers are to leave the place immediately. The
numbers of troops about Port Royal ii about
20,000. Four hundred tbonsand pounds of
cotton have been secured and will be shipped
by the next steamer. Part of the stone fleet
was off" Savannah, and the rest had gone to
Charleston.
St. Louis, Dec. 19. The names of about
three hundred secessionists have been enroll
ed at the Provost Marshal-General's office,
npon whom contributions will be levied under
General Halleck's General Orber No. 2, for
the benefit of the southwestern refugees.
About sixty of the most prominent of these
parties will be called upon to-morrow for the
sums set. opposite their names, varying from"
,ooo to four hundred dollars, and the balance
be notified as tfce exigences may require.
St. Louis, Dec. 20. Further information is
received from the West this morning, to the
effect that, in addition to the expedition of
Gen. Pope against the enemy at or near Clin
ton, the county seat of Henry county, another
part of his forces, nnder Col. Davis and Major
Marshall, surprised another camp of rebels,on
the afternoon of the 18th, near Nutford, a
little north of Warrensburg. A brush skir
mish ensued when the rebel?, finding them
selves surrounded, surrendered. Col. Davis
took 1,800 prisoners, including three Colonels,
seventeen Captains, 1,000 stand of arms sixty
five wagons, one - thousand horses, a largo
quantity of tents, baggage and "supplies. Our
loss was two killed and eight wounded. The
rebel loss is not yet known. Information from
Glasgow states that our troops have captured
about two tons of powder, buried on Claib
Jackson's farm. Major Hiuhard captured sixty
rebels a day or two since, in Johnson county.
Good news is expected 'rora Kansas.the troops
having been moving briskly in the last day or
two. Another acaount, dated Sedalia, Dec.
20th, says : Col. Palmer's brigade arrived here
last night, and Gen. Pope is expected to day.
All information from the west and north is to
the effect that no efforts have been spared to
send Price ample supply of clothing fcr winter.
All or nearly all this has fallen or will fall into
onr hands. Nearly two hundred heavily laden
wagons are already in our possession,together
with a large quantify of ammunition and arms.
A thousand horses, tents, camp epuipage, &c,
and between eighteen hundred and two thou
sand recruits have been taken prisoners. Maj.
Hubbard, of the First Missouri Cavalry, has
captured over sixty rebel recruits within the
past few days, and killed several others, bo
sides taking a considerable number of tents,
several wagons, a quantity of baggage and
arms, ne also burned a mill which had been
supplying the rebels for aome time past. Al
together the rebellion has received a terrible
shock in this section of country within the
present week. It is thought by many Price
will cross Osage to assist his Generals Stein
and Sloch, who are now in the River counties
with four or five hundred men to escort recruits
and supplies to their main camp, at Osceola.
If he does he will be compelled to stand a
general engagement, in which event -there is
no question whatever but that he will he badly
defeated and bis army entirely scattered.
Washington, Dec. 20. The Xavy Depart
ment has received despatches from Port Roy
al, including one from Commander Drayton,
dated December 9th. He gives the particulars
of his recent cruize in the Pawnee, with .the
Unadilia, Isaac Smith and Vixen, in the ex
ploration of the Ashepor river. Among other
things, he states, that on the approach to
Musquito Creek, he saw a picket of soldiers,
who took to their horses on his approach,
hastened in their flight by a shot or two thrown
at them. On landing at Hutchinson Island, it
was ascertained that two days before all the
negro houses, overseer's house and outbuild
ings, together with the picked cotton, had
been burned. The attempt had, at the same
time, been made to drive off the negroes; but
many bad escaped, although some of their
number, they said, had been shot in attempt
ing to do so. The scene was ono of complete
desolation. The smoking ruins, and the
cowering figures which surrounded them, of
these negraes, who still instinctively clung to
their hearth stones, although there was no
longer a shelter for them, presented a melan
choly sight.tho impression of which was made
even stronger by the piteous wails of the poor
creatures, a large portion of whom were old
and decrepid. About one hundred and forty
negroes, most of them in a very destitute con
dition, had collected at Otter Island. Com
mander Drayton had given directions to supply
them with food until some disposition could
be made of them.
Williamspoet, Md., Dec 20. Affairs in
and around this place are quiet, except the
exchange of shots with the enemy at Darn No.
5, and Falling Waters. The rebel Jackson's
battery at tho former place, including a 12
pound rifled gun has been at work endeavor
ing to destroy the Dam, which now seems to
be the principal demonstrations. His llro is
responded to by two parrot guns of Knapp's
Pennsylvania battery. At Falling Waters
one section of Best's Battery has been operat
ing occasionally against two of Jackson's euns.
The design of the rebels at Falling Waters
appears to bo to distract attention from Dam
o. The effect of our firo has not been d
veloped. There is not the least danger of
Jackson attempting to cross the river. De
serters from the rebels say that he has been
ordered to destroy Dam No. 5 at all sacrifices.
New York, Dec. 20 Ad vices, per the
steamer Atlantic stated that four hundred of
our men, on the 16th, crossed to the mainland
towards the Charleston and Savannah railroad
and encountered a rebel force of fifteen hun
dred, who retreated after tiring a volley with
out effect. Tho 4th New Hampshire regiment
had gone to Tybee Island. The balance of
Gen. Wright's brigade would follow. The
special correspondence of tho New York
VTribune from Port Royal gives rumor of the
defeat of the rebel commander nollins, and
tbe sinking of his ships by the Massachusetts.
Unusual depression is reported throughout
the South. New Orleans is particularly de
pressed. A great negro insurrection is, re
ported in Mississippi by which an immense
amount of property was destroyed, includ
ing $150,000 worth on the Quitman Island
alone. ,
Telegraph Line. It is said that tho Pres
ident has given his approval to a scheme for a
telegraph from Washington to Fortress Mon
roe. Only twenty miles of it will bo mbma
rino. In connection with this, New Yorkers
are advocating a submarine line to Hatteras,
thence to Port Royal, thence to "Key West
and Fort Pickens. ; .

A Heavy'. Newspaper Account. Among
the recent decisions of the Supreme Court at
Albany, N. Y., was one in favor of Mr. J. Sea
bnry against Bradford C. Wait, for seven years'
subscription to the Cat skill Recorder and
Democrat. The decision was in favor of the
publisher, and the judgment and cost : it is
stated, amount to between two hundred and
three hundred dollars. The New York Obser
ver, ono of the oldest religious newspapers in
th country, says of this decision : "It is
surprising that so few subscribers fully under
stand their responsibilities to publishers of
newspapers. The law which governed in this
decision is a law of Congress, and therefore
applicable in every state of the Union. Many
snbscribers seem to regard the bill for a paper
the last to be settled, especially the last the
law will enforce. Responsible men, even,
tinder trifling whims, refuse to take their pa-
pers from the office, regardless of the payment
of arrears, and when half a dozen more years
have been added to tbe arrears at the time of
stopping, think it hard to pay the increased
bill with interest and cost of collection."
The Harrisburg Telegraph makes the sub
joined just comparison between tho Messages
of Pres. Lincoln and Jeff Davis : "What a
contrast beteen the style and temper of the
Message of President Lincoln and that of
Jefferson Davis! The one a dispassionate
statement of the affairs of the country; the
other a brutal phillipic against the Freo States.
The one breathing the spirit of generous state
manship ; the other breathing wrath and
threatenings agaiust twenty millions of people.
The one seeking to allay the passions of the
masses; the other appealing to all the baser
instincts of human nature. The one praying
that the war might "not degenerate into a
violent and a remorseless revolutionary strug
gle," the other fanning the flames of popular
fury, by every trick of eloquence and argu
ment. The one speaking with the calm digni
ty of the head of a great Government ; the
other speaking like the chief of a band of out
laws ! The one addressing the reason and
conscience of aChristain nation; the, other
addressing tho ignorance and lusts ol the
rabble."
The Traitor who was Shot. Twelve men
were detailed to shoot the traitor Johnston, who
was executed on Friday afternoon. Eleven of
the guns were loaded with ball, and the twelfth
gun with a blank cartridge. No one knew who
had the gun with the blank cartridge. The
traitor was of muscular frame, cool, bold, and
defiant. When the word was given to fire the
firing party was about twenty paces form the
traitor, lie never flinched. Three or four of
the soldiers when they fired did not aim at
him. ' They have been placed under arrest
At the first flre, threo balls took eflect. Tho
traitor sat motionless for a few seconds, when
he reeled over on his side and kicked violently.
Orders were then given to load and fire, when
tliree halls passed through his head, killing
him lnstautly. there were over twelve thou
sand soldiers present to witness the execution
Johnson was a native of Mississippi, but had
uvea in tne .North for a number of years.
Mr. Justice Nelson, of the Supreme Court,
has arrived in Washington. Tho Secessionists
have taken possession of all Justice Carton
property around IN ashville, amounting to ninety
tnousauu dollars. I lie venerable majristra
was driven from his homo in Tennessee, under
threats of personal violence, and his loss of
property will fall heavily upou the gallant old
nero.
The Constitution of the new State of West
Virginia is being made with care, and will be
quite as progressive as the most progressive
of onr Free S'ates. It will provide for the
gradual extinction of slavery in the State, for
tree schools, for a free ballot, and for other
reforms not included in the aristocratic Con
stitution of the Old Dominion.
A correspondent from Port Royal relates
that on the 10th ol November, Sergeant Sav
age, formerly of the First, now of the Seventh
Connecticut Regiment, picked up at that place
the very canteen which he lost at the battle of
Bull's Run, and which he was able to identify
u) us peculiar snape, anu ins own name
scratched on the metal.
Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, has sent to
the secretary of V ar an indignant remon
strance against the employment of Massachu
setts soldiers in the business of catching fu
gitive slaves. 31 r. Cameron sent a copy of
the remonstrance to Gen. Stone, with an em
phatic request that he would treat fugitives
according to orders.
A recent dispatch from Brigham Young
states that the war news from the States sent
in the morning is published at Salt Lake City
in the afternoon.
