THE MPTSl!l 4mm&
Allan's $mtritiiL
BY SAMUEL J. ROW.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JAN. 29, 1862.
HOW. LOUIS W. HALL.
It cannot fail to be gratifying to the many
friends of Col. Hall, in this county, to find
that his worth and abilities aro as highly ap
preciated abroad as at home, and that the
faithful performance of his duty, not alone to
his constituents but to the State at large, has
secured him the most honorable position in
the Senate that of Speaker. . The Lancaster
Union, in noticing the organization of the
Legislature, remarks :
"The Senate of thisStato has been very for
tunate in its selection of Speaker for the ses
sion. The Hon. L. W. Hall, of Blair co., is yet
a young man probable one of the youngest
members of the body over which he presides,
but he has quickness ot apprehension, courtesy
of manner, eloquence of speed), and other
most admirable qualifications for the position.
His abilities aro so marked and unquestiona
ble, that he Is capable of great public useful
ness, and his friends anticipate fur him a fu
ture career of honor and distinction."
Dr. Browu, editor of the Montour American,
a scrutinizing observer of character, says :
"lion L. W . Hall, of Blair county, has been
elected Speaker of the Senate. He is a man of
decided ability, and in view of his parliamen
tary knowledge, aided by a deep base voice, he
is admirably adapted to that honorable position,
lie is withal an affable and courteous gentle
man, dignified, prompt and impartial a3 a pre
siding officer. His remarks on taking the
Chair were characteristic of the man and will
bo read with interest by the people of tke
Commonwealth."'
, The Republicans of the entire District may
well feel proud of having such a man to repre
sent them in the Senate, and look forward
with a lively hope to his further advancement
in the future.
TbeNew Secretary of War. E.M.Stan
ton the new Secretary of War, assumed the
dutios of his office on Monday last a-weck.
From the published accounts it would seem
that Mr. S- has entered on the duties of his of
fice with a determination to do his duty, and
that he is actively engaged in preparing for a
rigorous prosecution of the war. Thus, it ap
pears that the President, as heretofore, was
very fortunate in selecting a competent and
energetic officer and in his endeavors to pre
serve our country from the despoilers hands
Mr. Lincoln comes fully up to the expectations
of his friends ; and, he is not less admired be
cause he does not hesitate, whenever he thinks
the public weal demands it, to remove any man,
no matter how much he likes him personally.
Andtrriox or tiie Fbaxkixq Privileo e. The
bill abolishing the franking privilege after the
1st of July next, which passed the House of
liepresentatives, has also passed the U. States
Senate,with an amendment allowing the Heads
of Departments to frank letters on official bu
siness only. It is estimated that this will save
the Government directly near a million of dol
lars annually, and indirectly, by doing away
with tho printing of large numbers of docu
ments, a largo additional amount. It is grati
fying to know that our member of Congress,
Hon. John Patton, gavo this wholesome and
economizing bill his hearty support and re
corded his vote among the Ayes.
St. Lons. Tho Provost Marshall of St.
Louis, last week seized some property belong
ing to several secessionists, to pay a tax which
bad been assessed by order of Gen. Halleck,
and which they refused to pay. The Secesh
gentlemen issued a writ of replevin on the
Provost Marshall, whereupon they were arrest
ed and imprisoned. Subsequently, Gen. Hal
leck ordered them to be taken beyond the
bounds of . his department, and forbid their
.return. The Provost Marthall is to arrest all
persons who hereafter attempt to interfere, or
try to prevent tho execution of military orders.
' Buoxi. -The war department has despatch
es from flag-officer McKean, dated Ship Island,
Jan. 8, in which he says, he had received in
formation that a rebel steamer was at anchor
at Biloxi, Mississippi. Ho dispatched two
steamers to capture the rebel, but it had made
its escape. A demand was then made for the
surrender of the town, which was complied
with. On landing a small sand battery was
destroyed, and two guns brought off. A
schooner, loaded with lumber, was also captured.
' Missouri. An ' important correspondence
;has taken place between the nebcl Gen. Price
.and Gen. Hallock. The former desired to
know if the latter proposed to treat bridge
burners as prisoners of war, or as malefactors.
Gen. Hallock replied that when they burned
Abridges 'acting as a detachment ot soldiers
, they would be treated as prisoners of war; if
they committed the act in the garb of private
cUizens they would be treated liko malefactors.
Relief to Prisoners. The war department
Las issued a general order to the effect that
measures are to be taken to secure the com
fort of the Union prisoners in the hands of the
rebels. 'For this purpose two Commissioners,
appointed by the President, are to visit Rich
mond and other places, and do as much for
the captives as their jailors will allow. ;
r Herman- Yerkb, Esq., Sergeant-at-arms of
the Senate of Pennsylvania, died at bis resi
dence in Philadelphia, on Friday the 17th
January, after a short illness. - .
The Battle at Mill SraisG, Kr. Fro'rn
the official accounts we glean the following
paiticulars of tho Battle of Mill Spring. It
was arranged that Gen. Thomas should leave
Jamestown' and Gen. Schcepf advance ' from
Somerset, thus hemming Gen. Zollicoffor in
from the west and north. Zollicofler, howev
er, being informed f the movement, made a
forced march on Saturday, and on Sunday
morning attacked our encampments. After
several hours fighting Col. Haskin succeeded
in flanking the enemy on tho extreme right,
when the 9th Ohio, 2d Minnesota, and 4th
Kentucky made a desperate bayonet charge,
and succeeded in driving the enemy from the
woods where they had taken shelter. Our
troops advanced to tho charge with triumphant
yells, breaking the rebel ranks, who broke pell
ruell to their camp strewing-the road with
muskets, blankets, overcoats and knapsacks,
and abandoned two guns and caissons. Our
advance arrived within sight of the enemies
intrenchrnents a little before dark, and opened
upon them with shot and shell. Night closing
in put a stop to further demonstrations. The
next morning the 10th Kentucky and the 14th
Ohio were ordered to scales the entrenchments,
which they did, but the icbels had fled during
the night having left everything standing "as
when occupied by them. Houses, tents, horses
mules, wagons, baggage, cannon, ammunition
and firearms, were found in good order. The
rebel force was about 8,000, whilst the Union
force engaged did not exceed 3,000. The
enemy's loss is 114 killed, 11G wounded, and
4-5 prisoners. Our loss CO killed and 150
wounded. We gained large quantities of
stores and some fine artillery, besideatJOO four
horse wagons and 1,200 horses arid" mules.
Geu. Zollicofler was shot through tho heart at
the head of his staff, by Col. Fry of the 4th
Kentucky, at the head of his staff having
suddenly met in tho woods. One of Zollicof
fer's aids shot the horse from under Col. Fry,
when the latter fired and killed the former.
The rebel stafl deserted their chief's body,
which was taken to Somerset the nest day.
The following General Order, relative to the
battle of Mill Spring, has been issued by the
Secretary of War :
War Department, January, 22, 18G2.
The President, Commander-in-Chief of tho
Army and Navy, has received information of
a brilliant victory achieved by the United
States forces, over a large body of armed
traitors and rebels, at Mill Spring, in the State
of Kentucky. He returns thanks to the gal
lant officers and soldiers who won that victory,
and when the official report shall be received,
the military skill and personal valor displayed
in battle will be acknowledged and rewarded
in a fitting manner. The courage that encoun
tered and vanquished the greatly superior
numbrrs of the rebel force, pursued and at
tacked them in their intrenchrnents, and paused
not until tho enemy was completely routed,
merits and receives commendation. The pur
pose of this war is to pursue and destroy a re
bellious enemy, and to deliver tho country
from danger. Menaced by traitors, alacrity,
daring, courageous spirit and patriotic zeal on
all occasions aud under every circumstance,
are expected from the army of the United
States. In the prompt and spirited move
ments and daring at the battle of Mill Spring,
the nation will realize its hopes, and the peo
ple of the United States will rejoice to honor
every soldier and officer who proves his cour
age by charging with the bayonet or storming
intrenchrnents in the blaze of the enemy's fire.
By order of the President.
Edwin M. Stanton, Sec. of War.
The Rebel Fortification's. A rebel desert
er who came into the Federal lines on the eve
ning of the 2Gth, contradicts the report that
the rebels have fallen back from Manassas.
He says about ten regiments have gone South,
but that the main body of the rebel army has
not changed its position. They have nearly
abandoned the idea that General McCIellan in
tends to attack them this winter. The rebel
line of defense extends upwards of sixty miles.
They expect the most sanguinary battle to
tano place at Centreville, for they have that
place almost impregnably fortified. lie says
that it was reported lor several days that Mc
CIellan was dead, and there was great rejoicing
for the rebel Generals have a perfect dread of
meeting him in battle.
Mexico. It would appear that the Spanish
troops that landed at Vera Cruz, several week's
since, are pretty well hemmed in by the Mexi
cans and that a reaction has taken place a
mong the Mexican people, who are generally
coming up to the support of the government.
The Spanish troops had taken possession of
Vera Cruz under the pretence of holding it as
a guarantee for the payment of certain claims ;
aud tho present action of tho people is looked
upon as a sign that a conflict is imminent be
tween tho two nations.
Tue Tariff. The business community are
considerably alarmed at Hie idea that Con
gress is to make a great and serious change
in tho present tariff. From present appear
ances the Committee;of Ways and Means will
make but a. very slight change, no more than
to rectify some mistakes in the present bill.
The bill has been in operation so short a time
that Its results cannot be correctly nor justly
calculated upon. There is high authority for
the expression of this opinion.
Disiatcues fron Mexico. Dispatches and
copies of two treaties with Mexico, have been
received from Minister Corwin. One is an
extradition treaty, which provides that no fu
gitive slaves or political refugees shall be giv
en up. Tho other has relerence to nostal ser-'
vice.
' Expelled. Gov. : Franklin has had the
Hutchinson family expelled from the camps
beyond the Potomac, on account of the sin"-
.
mg of an anti-slavery song.
Col. Astor, who resigned bis nosition on
General M-'Clellaa's staff, has withdrawn his
resignation. , .
COEEESPONDEJTCE OF THE "J0TJENAL."
Camp Jameson, Jan. 23. 1862.
Mr. S. J. Row -.Dear Sir : We hear of ad
vances made, battles fought, and victories
won by our armies in different sections, whilst
we must content ourselves with reading, the
accounts of their valorous deeds yet, we
hope ere long, to be relieved from regular
camp duties and drills, by being ordered into
more active service.
We' are still in our old quarters. Camp
Jameson is two (not 12 miles, as published in
my last) from Alexandria. Our regiment re
turned this evening from "picket" duty
having been sent out on Monday. They are
all lively and cheerful, notwithstanding the
weather lias been unpleasant. They captured
two rebels and one team of mules. They also
raised a boat which had been sunk in Occoquan
creek by a Secesh, and brought it up into
Accotank. It had been used in crossing tho
stream. They also cut up several skills that
belonged to the same man. The '-boys"
have been offered 400 for the boat.
Prisoners are taken by our pickets, almost
daily, whilst others coino in and give them
selves up yet there is no largo rebel force
near us. There is one company of cavalry in
the neighborhood of "Pohick church," com
posed ot farmers and "armed to the teeth."
They are acquainted witli all the by-roads,
paths and hiding places, and if they were not
cowardly they might annoy us very much;
but being cowards they only occasionally
pounce upon our pickets, when least expected,
and in a moment they are oif again at a full
gallop into the woods. To give you an idea
of this "banditti," I will relate one occurence.
A short time since, thirty men of the New
Jersey cavalry were ascending the hill at
"Pohick." It is a dug road, with emlwrk
inent, about 8 leet high on eaeh side.
Whilst the cavalry were in the cut,, the "ban
ditts" suddenly approached wiihin six or
eight feet of them, Hied and then made good
their escape yet only one of their balls took
ellect, and that in the fleshy part of the leg.
The weather has been quite warm during
tho last week, with any quantity of rain. The
soil is a clay mixture, and consequently the
mud is deep. The only way to be certain of
dry feet is to have .high boot legs especially,
if you wish to go out of the camp. Our men
are becoming tired of inactivit', and would
be better satisfied if there was an advance
made which may propably be done as soon as
the roads will permit. It is said that we are
under marching orders, but in what direction
I do not know. . Yours, &c, A. M. M.
Camp California. 53d Reg't Pa. Vol. i
Near Alexandria Va. Jan. 17tb 18G2. J
Dear Raftsman Jourxal : To-day being
one of those cold,irearj' ones that reminds me
so much of Clearfield, I thought it would not
be amiss if I would while away a half hour in
writing to you. We are situated on the ex
treme southern wing of the army, the second
post of honor in the grand d'annee of the Po
tomac. Our encampment is located on the
ground where the Ellsworth Zouaves had the
skirmish with the rebels last Spring Clouds
Mills. The fence rails, and the old mill that
shielded the rebels, bear evidence of hard
work. We are constantly on the qui vive on
account of alarms by day and alarms by night.
The last two or three days tho weather
has been quite severe upon the boys, and if
we ' were ordered forward at this time, we
would go, but the suffering would bo great.
Whilst we remain In camp we can manage to
keep tolerable comfortable, but once upon the
march wo must forego many little inconveni
ences. The rugged Raftsmen are well repre
resented iiv the fifty-third regiment. Good
material say you. Yes, and they show it by
their superior power of endurance. Without
wishing to make any invidious comparison, in
justice I must say, that company D can turn
out more men of muscle than some other com
panies in the regiment. But Pennsylvania
need not be ashamed of the rank and file of the
"Young America Regiment." A short
sketch of a few of Ihe officers, perhaps would
not be uninteresting, aud will sho'w you of
what material the regiment is composed.
Col. John R. Brooke is a man near the age
the lamented Ellsworth was when he fell in
defence of his country's fl ig. He was born
and reared in Montgomery county, Pa. lie
has crossed tho great "Plains" and served as
Brigade Quarter-master of" the Utah Army.
Remaining in the mountains four years, his
constitution has become inured to all kinds of
hardships. In the three months service he
had command of a company that was among
the first on the "sacred soil" to defend the
Constitution and the Union. At the end of
his enlistment he raised a regiment, and
again he is on "old Virginia shore," impa
tiently awaiting an opportunity to lead liia
men to battle and to victory.
Lieut. Col. Richard McMiciiael is one of
tho few good fellows that are met in this
world. When I look at him, I think of old
Rough and Ready, lie is his counter-part in
many respects. He enlisted as a private in
tho second Pennsylvania regiment lor the war
with Mexico. At Pittsburg he was appointed
Sergeant-Major; afterwards he was promoted
to be a Lieutenant, and finally was elected
Major, lie was in all the battles from the tak
ing of Vera Cruz to the taking of the City of
Mexico. In the three months service ho was
Lieut. Colonel of the fourteenth regiment Pa.
oi s. Again no is in the field ready to do
his duty.
Captain John S.McKiernan of Clearfield co.
Pa. is another old soldier, and yet a young man.
He served as a private in Mexico at the ae of
fifteen years; and in the three months'ser
vice as a First Lieutenant and Quartermaster,
and is now a Captain in the present campaign.
In additon to this, he served withCapt. Terry's
Rifle rangers in California, and in three battles
with the Indians ; in one of which he received
a wound from an arrow, the mark of which he
bears upon him. He lived five month's on the
plains and in the Rocky mountains, and
wherever found, is always at his post. His
experience as a soldier is of the best, and his
ability is beyond a doubt. The very fact of
his promotion proves him to be a riian of tact
and energy. As a disciplinarian he has very
few, if any superiors. As a commander he is
energetic, quick, and full of courage -three
concomitants, not often found in the same
composition, and three very essential qualifi
cations of a soldier; and he will make his
mark if opportunity offers. .. . .
A rather singular coincidence occurs with
Captaiu McKiernan and Colonel McMichael :
Though living in dilferont parts of the State,
they were in tho same regiment in Mexico'
me name regiment in tne three month's
ser
vice, and are now in the same . regiment.
Since boys, they have been marching shoul
der to shoulder, defending the honor of the
Stars and Stripes, and keeping pace to the
music or the Union. I-doubt whether two
other men can be found in the great army of
the Union, whose war destinies have thus sin
gularly associate them.
Our Quarter-master Lieut. Jaoos Rice, is
one of the very best in the service. He was
quarter-master of the 15th Reg't, in the three
months,' service, and has been a military man
all his life. Capt. S. O, Bull and Capt. W.
S. Potts were in the three months' service,
and are old Plain and California rangers.
Part of their experience was gained under
Kit Carson, of Rocky Mountain notoriety.
We have other officers . that have been in
actual service, but of them I shall speak again
if this should meet with your approbation.
There aro few regiments in the field that can
boast of as many officers who have seen ser
vice and been successful adventurers. Their
lives have boen spent in enduring toil of
every description, and are inured to hardships ;
consequently they are better prepared to stand
the exposures of camp life than the kid fingered
gentry who are found in such abundance in
the army. A few days since, the regiment
being on out-post duty, company D was order
ed on a scouting expedition under the com
mand of Lieut. Jas. S. Hall. They proceed
ed to Springfield station on tne Manassas Gap
R. Road, wliero they were divided into three
detachments one of which commanded by
Serg't Wm. McKiernan, drove in the enemy's
pickets at the burnt bridge, a short distance
from the enemy's encampments. The other
parties advanced toward Pohick church, but
found nothing save some wheat and tobacco.
to the latter of which they helped themselves
very freely. 1 ho boys displayed great cool
ness and manifested a desire to have a brush
witn "secesn," out naa to return-to camp
without a fight. Please send me a Journal.
Yours &c, Au Revoir.
Retirement of Geueral Cameron. The
Doylestown (.Pa.,) Democrat says:
"Although not a political supporter of
Geuetal Cameron, late Secretary of Wur, we
canuot lefraiu from saying a word on his
retiiement from that folio. We bear testi
mony that he has made an able and faithful
officer, and. while in that denarlment. was un
ceasing in his labors in Wfhalf of the great cause
of the Union. Upon coming into office he
found a demoralized army, a mere handful in
number, and on . leaving it he presents to the
Republic a host of over six hundred thousand
men armed, equipped, and in the field. Snch
armies were never belore organized in the
same length of time. The task was an hercu
lean one, and whatever of credit there may be
to give, belongs, irra great measure, to Gen.
Cameron. An unjust clamor has been raided
against him, and he is charged with permitting
the Government to be defrauded in the matter
of furnishing supplies. That agents of the
department, in some instances, have defraud
ea tne uovernment ana been unfaithful to
their trust, we have no doubt ; but we believe
the late Secretary of War to be entirely free
from any connection with wueh peculation
Instead of blame, Gen. C. should receive the
thanks of every patriot for the faithful and
vigorous manner in which ho has managed the
most important department of the Government
(luring the trying period the country passed
tnrotign since lie received his appointment.
In the new aud honorable position to which
he has been assigned ty the President he w ill
discharge his duties with equal fidelity."
Singular Accident. On New Year's day.
during the . prevalance of a high wind, about
ten feet of the top of a lightning rod attached
to the house of alentino Sargeant, West
Bethlehem, Washington countj-, was broken
from its fastenings, and falling, with the point
foremost, struck a little son of Mr. Sargeant's,
who was passing along just at that moment
The point struck him upon the top of the left
shoulder, and passing between the collar bone
and first rib emerged near the left breast, and,
continuing its course, pierced the clothing, the
left hand which happened to be in range
and the left thigh to the bone. While thus
pinioned down in a half erect position his
mother came to his relief, and succeeded only
by the utmost exertions in removing the rod.
The wound is doing well.
-. Charleston Sealed at Last. The second
stone, fleet, consisting of fourteen vessels, left
Port Royal on the morning of the 20th inst.,
for their destination oif Charleston. They
are to be sunk in the entrance of Maffit's
Channel, the passage through which the steam
er Isabel recently went into Charleston, after
eluding the vigilance of the steam frigate Mo
hickan, which was then blockading off that
point. Mr. George II. Bradbury, of tho Navy,
who saik the first fleet successfully, has the
exclusive direction of this squadron, and
when he shall have got all the vesseis into po
sition, there will be no more complaints of an
"ineffectual blockade," at least off Charleston.
Wouldn't Drink. A volunteer and some
citizens were talking about the Mr, at Elmira,
a few days since, when, a difference having
arisen, some person proposed to settle It by
taking a drink. "No, no!" said the volun
teer, "that is not the way to talk. You and
all the other men who can possibly leave home,
should at once agree to enlist. This war must
be sought out and settled with all possible
dispatch. Drinking won't settle it, for if it
would, our officers would have settled it long
ago!"
The question is often asked, " What becomes
of all the gold and silver annually coined ?"
No satisfactory answer has been given. The
prevailing opinion is that it is hoarded and
buried all over the East particularly in the
Chinese empire. During the first eight months
of this year, England alone shipped' iii that
direction through the Oriental Steam ship
Company.nearly 30,000.000. A large amount
was also shipped from France and other na
tions. -
