BY SAMUEL J. ROW.
CLEARFIELD, PA., FED. 5, 1862.
The President.-Tho Philadelphia Bulle
tin pays tho following 'well deserved compli
ment to the President : "Amid all the doubts
and suspicions that prevail concerning various
public men, it is cheering to see how great
andnnlversa! is the confidence of tho people
in Fresident Lincoln, as a faithful, honest
and patriotic public sorvent, who is deter
mined to do his duty conscientiously, undis
turbed by any influences that may bo brought
to bear upon him, except, those of patriotism
and fidelity to tho Union and Constitution.
It is no small eomfort in a period of trial,
to have in the Executive office a man upon
whose honor and honesty tho people rely so
implicitly. Kecent events have strengthened
the confidence of tho people in the President.
The surrender of Mason and Slidell, at a time
when the popular mind revolted at the idea,
and when men pretending to knowledge of
human nature- wero predicting a rising of the
mob in case they were surrendered, revealed
a degree of independence and boldness for
which: the world had not previously given
him credit. Ilis resistance to the clamorous
politicians, who have been pressing him to
have tho armies of the republic pushed for
ward before they were ready, is another proof
of the same trait. Still another is given in his
selecting a Democrat for an important Depart
ment of the Government ; and there could be
no better recognition of this manly indepen
dence than is seen in the fact that the people
approved the appointment of Mr. Stanton, and
that in a Senate strongly Republican, it was
confirmed, with only two dissenting votes.
Tue SinrATinsERS. When the bill, which
gives the Fresident the control of all the rail
roads in the country when it becomes neces
sary to exsreisc it to facilitato military suc
cess, was before the House several days since,
the old sympathisers showed themselves in
the most unmistakable regard for the rebel
cause. In refezring to this fact the Ilarris
burg 2'clcgraph says : "Vallandigham, of Ohio,
who is a knave as well as a traitor, madu him
self particularly obnoxious by opposing the
bill in debate, and on its final passage we find
Messrs. Biddle and Ancona of this State, both
of that school of Democrats who fell down
and worshipped James Buchanan, and obeyed
his bidding in support of the traitor Breckin
ridge we find such men voting agaiDst the
till. In legislation of this kind, the people
are not aware bow much is at stake, and there
fore cannot fully appreciate the motives and
objects of those who oppose its passage. They
might as well oppose the ordnance department
in loading the cartridges for the soldiers with
buckshot and ball, or insist that our vessels ol
war should put to sea without rudders, as
maintain that the control of all railroads should
not be reposed in the hands jof the Fresident,
when the transportation of troops become
necessary for the crushing of rebellion or the
preservation of the public pflace."
A Goon Sias. A gentleman who has recent
ly made his way from Memphis, Tenn., and
whoso character was such that his statements
are considered trustworthy, S3js that TJ. S.
Treasury notes command 30 per cent premium
in the "Southern Confederacy." They are
equivalent to gold and are sought after. This
is a significant fact. The rebels have a whole
some respect for. the credit of the United
States, showing that they are not bereft of
financial understanding. Some persons in the
loyal States may learn a lesson, from this ap
preciation of the promises to pay of our gov
ernment, by those who are waning against it.
Tax os Newspapers. Quite a number of
propositions have been brought before Con
gress in reference to taxing newspapers the
last of which comes from the Committee of
Ways and Means of the House. The com
mittee propoie that a tax bo imposed pro rota
on the certified returns of the proprietors. A
tax on newspapers will, in all probability, work
to the disadvantage of many of the country
papers, whilst it will not materially effect the
city papers. Buti we presume, the powers that
be, must be obeyed.
Hemp Mail Baqs. la consequence of the
high price of cotton, and on account of other
reasons, the Post Office Department has sub
stituted hemp for that article in the manufac
ture of their letter and paper mail bags. Ke
ceot experiments have proved that hemp bags
are stronger and cheaper and wear better than
tho other, inasmuch as the natural strength of
the hap to unimpaired by the acids which
are nsed in the manufautur-e and bleaching of
cotton. ;
" mm mm mmm m4m
Lake ahd Hcrteh. According to advices
received at Washington, both Lane'and' Hun
ter desire to command ho expedition South.
, Hunter calls lor $3,000,000, which Lane says
he can do without;' Tho order has been sent
to give the command to Gen. Hunter.
Swobn is. The .oath of office was on the
27th, administered by the Clerk of the Su
preme Court of the United States, to Associ
ate Judge Swayoe, who took his seat. . lie
fills the place of the late Judge McLean. '
. , Confirmed.- John Tucker of Philadelphia,
was confirmed by the Senate as one of the As
sistant Secretaries of War,
Two Traitors Two Niggers. The Phila
delphia Press makes the following comments
on an article in the London Times on Mason
and Slidell : "Capricious in its humor, and
highly antagonistic to American institutions,
the London Times now and then tells truth
by accident, we suppose. In the case of Ma
son and Slidell it comes oHt very strongly,
against any civility being shown them in Eng
land. At Bermuda they diued with tho Brit
ish Admiral on the station, who behaved po
litely, but invariable snubbed them whenever
they began to prate, like Othello, ol the dan
gers they had passed through. On the con
trary, the Times, which is supposed to speak
tho opinion of the British Government, laughs
the martyrs of the Trent to scorn, saying that
" they are about tho most worthless booty it
would be possible to extract from the jaws of
the American lion." It may bo asked, why
are these amiable martyrs thus denounced ?
Tho Times answers, sharply enough, because
these two men have long been known as blind
and habitual haters and revilers of England ?
Another reason why the traitors should be
made nothing of, in England, socially and po
litically, is to be found in the fact that the
fugitive-slave law is generally affiliated on Mr.
Mason. "Give no ovation to these fellows,"
says tho Times. "They are of no . account."
"England would have done as much to rescue iu-o
negroes." All we say is that, if tho writer of
that cruel assertion, avowing himself, dare
venture into the limits of Secessia, we are
afraid that ho would be tarred and feathered,
out of hand, amid universal Southern applause.
Mason and Slidell, pseudo-ambassadors from
the South, not of more account than two ne
groes ! No wonder, if such things be, that
Vesuvius emits flames and overwhelms cities !
Ericsson's Battery. This is the name of
one of tho three iron-plated vessels,authorized
at the extra session of Congress, which made
an appiopriation of $1,500,000 for the pur
pose. Capt. Ericsson's plan was adopted for
one of the vessels, and ho stipulated to have it
afloat in one hundred days from the date of the
contract, Oct. 5 and on Thursday last, one
hundred and one days from the dato of the
contract, she was launched. The keel of the
battery was laid on the 22d of October last.
She is 3id to be a qneer looking thing, and
so heavily plated with iron, that bets were
made that she would go under as soon as she
struck the water, but she actually drew less
water than had been calculated on. This bat
tery is not to be accepted until it is tried.
Capt. Ericsson i3 to' be supplied with men and
ammunition, and given a chance to test its
powers on some of the enemy's largest batter
ies. If successful it will be turned over to the
Government.
The Great Flood in California. Accounts
Irom San Francisco to the 17th ult., state
that incessant and heavy rains had prevailed
lor fifty hoars previously, and Sacramento
City, for the third tivoe this winter, was in
danger of being completely, inundated. The
area of land submerged is estimated at three
million acres, mostly arable, and a considera
ble portion fenced and under cultivation.
Nearly five thousand cattlo and sheep have, it
is believed, been drowned during the winter.
As a compensation lor these,' disasters, how
ever, the unexampled storms and floods have
washed the mining regions where the earth
was upturned, producing great changes, and
rendering a large increase in tho gold yield of
the placer diggings for tho ensuing season
highly probable.
An Incident. Tho recent battle of Webb's
Cross Roads in Kentucky, (incorrectly called
Mill Springs and Somerset,) at which the reb
el Zollicofler lost his life, was one of tho most
desperate that has yet been fought, and will
be attended by results of a most important na
ture to the Union cause. Among tho inci
dents of this struggle is the capture of a largo
quantity of cannon of superior range and
quality. Amoi g these trophies are two
splendid pieces, which were left on the -field
of Bull Kan. Thoso pieces were most glori
ously redeemed, and sufficient other ordnance
eaptured to wipe out the stain of the first loss.
The number of cannon captured at this battle,
was sixteen ; and the number rebels killed not
less than three hundred.
Davis and tjie 22d ok February. Wash
ington's birthday is to be desecrated in the
South after tho fashion indicated in tho fol
lowing paragraph from a Charlotte (N. C.)
paper: "On the approaching twenty-second
of February the permanent government of the
Confederate States will be inaugurated at
Richmond. Fresident Davis will bo installed
for Six years, and other interesting ceremonies
take place. It will bo a memorable and inter
esting occasion, and a vast concourse of per
sons, no donbt, will assemble to witness the
ceremonies of the day."
Fort Pulaski and Savannah. -From
southern sources, wo learn that our fleet has
succeeded in cutting ofi the communication
between Fort Pulaski and Savannah, Georgia
having passed around little Tybee Island,
and taken up a position that commands tho
Savannah Kiver above the Fort. Com. Tat
nall with his Mosquito fleet undertook- to con
voy severalqressels with provisions to the fort,
but was driven back by our boats; yet, the
rebels say, they have provisions enough at the
fort to last six months.
Commission to visit the Prisoners. Bishop
Ames of the M. E.. Church and Hon. Hamilton
Fish of New York, have been appointed Com
missioners to visit the Federal prisoners at
Richmond and other places in rebeldom.
They left Washington on Friday "the 31st and
proceed by way of Fortress Monroe and Nor
folk having been furnished with appropriate
passes, stating the object of their mission. -
It is stated that the military telegraph line
now has near twelve hundred miles of tele
graph wire in operation, and one hundred and
thirty operators, and several hundred repair,
ers and builders in tho field.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JO'JENAL.
"r From the State Capital.
Harrisbckg, Pa., January 27, 1SG2.
Mr. Editor : Twenty days of the session of
1SG2 have fled and gone forever, and little
business of general interest has beeu trans
acted. The Senate, under the Speakership of
your young and able Senator, has got along
smoothly enough, but in the House, whero
there is a mnltiiuJo ot aspiring rulers, there
lias been dissentions and discussions without
number.
Contested seats and investigations have
been the main sulyects under discussion. Of.
the former there have been no less than seven
brought before tho House. One has been dis
posed of, John Cessna,-of Beuford, has un
seated Ooorge W. (Householder, on (alleged)
Constitntional grounds. The othercas swill
amount to nothing save costs to the counties
where the contestants come from. Two are
from Luzerne, three from Philadelphia, and
one from Adams.
The Investigation Committees proposed are
two, and the subjects to be' investigated are
me corruptions anegeu to nave oeen useu lasi
session to carry two important bill, and the
frauds alledged to have been perpetrated in
the purchase of clothing and supplies for the
three months volunteers.
Of the former, I have but a few words to
say, and they shall be to the purpose Your
readers will understand that they have refer
ence to the bills for the relief of the Sunbury
and Erie U.iilroad, and the commutation of the
tonnage "tax. These measures were for the re
lief ol corporations now engaged in the lauda
bla cnterprizeof developing the resources of
the Commonwealth, and I contend that thoy
were eminently proper, and whatever the State
may lose by the transaction, it is a mole hill
by the side ot a mountain, when compared to
tho yearly swindle practiced upon the State
when the Public Works were under control of
a set of leechers who f rem year to year bled
the Treasury without stint or mercy. The in
vestigation will end in nothing. If corruption
was used,jit is rather to be supposed that those
who were corrupted were shrewd enough to
cover up their tracks.
The Committee to investigate the Armj
frauds can do no more than what a Committee
of honorable and honest men, headed by Jacob
Fry, Jr., has already done. They went over
the whole ground, and they triumphantly ac
quitted the Governor of any complicity in the
frauds, although this resolution seemsto drive
directly at .his impeachment. One of your
members declared that the committee ap
pointed by the Governor had "white-washed"
him. Now tho lact is there were frauds com
mitted upon the Treasury. The hast ' in which
articles had to be secured for the use of the
three months soldiers, opened the door to un
scrupulous speculators, but let it be under
stood that many of those who thus took ad
vantage of existing circumstances were not
the political friends of Governor Cm tin, and
to-day he is just as anxious that all should be.
punished or made to disgorge, as any man up
on the floor of the Mouse.
These resolutions are still nnder discussion,
and both will pass. They arc urged on by
men some of whom are the veriest dema
gogues that ever lived foi the purpose of
making political cauital among their constit
ueuts and scfcicHring probably of a more solid
and lasting nature but they are doomed to
be disappointed.
The reorganization of the militia system of
the State, as well as the establishment of a
militarj' school will probably engage the at
tention of the Legislatures either this or the
coming week. Several bills have already been
submitted for the establishment of the school,
and I already foresee an efforfc to turn the
whole affair into a profitable speculation for
the benefit of somebody. There will naturally
enough bo competition for the location, but I
do not think that a better place could befouid
in the State than Fhillipsburg, in Centre
county.
The next question of importance will be to
devise suitable means to raise tho War tax.
Numerous expedients will be resorted to, but
when all is said and done, we will have to come
right down to the dots and submit to having
every ppecies of income taxed and pay it
cheerfully, if wo have any desire to preserve
the Union. The Revenue Commissioners are
now at work, and the bill to raise revenue will
be based upon their report.
Mr. Hall, the Speaker, presides with great
dignity over the Senrte, and his constituents
have reason to feel proud of him. He is the
youngest Senator who ever filled tho Chair,
and all his acts so" far have been as courteous
and kind, yet as firm and dignified as those ot
any officer who has ever presided over the de
liberations of a Pennsylvania Senate.
Youis, Specs.
Harrisuurg, February 3, 1802.
Mr. Editor : Matters Legislative are be
ginning to assume some shape. Everything
has settled down, and a dispositiou is mani
fested to do some work.
Tho resolution to appoint a committee to
overhaul the alleged fiauds in the disburse
ment of the State militar' fund, passed the
House by a vote of G9 to 20. What addition
al evidence they will bring, or what new facts,
will be developed that did not come to light
by tho investigation instituted by Gov. Cur
tin himsolf, nobody can conjecture, but I do
know that those w ho are pushing this to ar
raign Gov. Curtin, and fix on him complicity
in the army frauds will bo erosslv disannoint-
ed. That the Governor's hands are clean, nnd
that he is free from even the taint of suspi
cion, I want no better evidence man that of
that pure Democrat and honest man, Jacob
Fry, Jr., late Auditor General of tho State. '
The committeo to investigate the alleged
corruptions of last winter has also been ap
pointed, of which Mr. Hopkins, of Washington,
is Chairman. The resolution passed with but
one dissenting voice that of Mr. Dennis, of
Philadelphia. The object of tho bill is not to
minted onr f i fn t yvr 1,t,f n I 1 . .r I.
,act for tho commutaTion of tonnage. The re-
imposition ot tho tonnage duties would not in
itself be of much practical advantage to the
State, but broken down politicians have im
bibed the idea that they can make political
capital by pushing the matter to extremes. I
tako this early opportunity to predict that very
little evidence of corruption will be found, and
as for the capital they will make, they can
neither trade nor huckster upon it any longer
than such a time as the people can see through
theiraims and objects.
On Wednesday last Senator Lowry ofTercd
a resolution instructing our Senators in Con
gress to vote tor tho expulsion of Jesse D.
Bright, Senator from Indiana. Whether Sena
tor Bright has boon guilty of treason is a ques
tion which the United States Senate is proba
bly better able to decide than theSenate of
Pennsylvania? yet the latter may instruct our
Senators to vote for his expulsion. r)ur Sen
ators are divided on the ancstion. Wllmntis
in favor of the expulsion, while Cowan is op
posed toil. Several speeches were deliver
ed on Lowry's Resolution, by Lowry himself,
Irish, Landan and Bound the first throe rep
resenting the extreme wing of the Republican
party. Mr. CIymer, Democrat; replied, and
also Mr. Lamberton, both of whom offered a
mendments, which were voted down by a strict
party vote. When the main question was put,
however, the Democrats "caved," and tho
resolution passed : unanimously. As it is a
joint resolution it still has to pass the Uouso,
aud-there is some doubt about'it getting a
speedy deliverance there..
The subject of taxation' is one fraught with
considerable interest to the tax-payers of the
State, and it is now receiving the attention of
the members of both Houses, as well as the
Revenue Board. A resolution offered by Mr.
Lowry proposes to the Board the indiscrimi
nate taxation of nearly every thing on the
taco of the earth, and every thing of value
tflat may hereafter be brought out of the bow
els thereof. Of course when these taxes come
to b paid, there will be some jqnealing ; but,
let this fact be borne in mind, that those who
rant the loudest against taxation are generally
those who have the least to pay, or are dema
gogues who seize npon it as u means to secure
their .own personal aggrandizement. The tax
ation must be met, fairly and squarely, if we
wish to preserve the Nation. Unless we mani
fest an entire willingness to exhaust our blood
and treasure to maintain the Government, we
deserve no better fate than eternal and ever
lasting slavery for ourselves, our children and
our children's children to the end of time.
Th voice ot the true patriot is, let them take
all I have got, but spare my countfy and its
civil and religious institutions bequeathed me
by the glorious old patriots of 1776
One of tho bills for the establishment of a
military Academy goes so far as to establish a
number of life sinecures in tho shape of nse
less officers, and another proposes the estab
lishment to be brought into existence through
the Agency of a board of corporators. Of
course all these little financial schemes will
be readily seen through by the honest and
upright membeis.
We have had no other legislation of gener
al interest, and nothing local has come under
my observation up to this time. Stecks.
The House on Monday took up the Sen
ate's resolution instructing our Senators to
vote for the expulsion of Bright; but having
reached no vote, it was resolved to hold an
evening session for the further consideration
of the resolution. Mr. Cessna then offered a
substitute, which after a protracted debate
was adopted by a vote of 51 to 37. . The reso
lution, as amended, was then adopted, yeas

Washington, D. C, January 80, 18G2.
Dear Journal: Mud! mud!! mud!!!
greets the eye in all directions. Every street,
every Avenue, is filled with it and the road
to tho Chain Bridge, what a sight ! It looks
more like a bed of mortar than anything eldo
I can compare it with. Pedestrians, be they
ever so careful, will get bespattered ; and the
ladies dear creatures what a time they have
to keep their "trails" and "balmorals" an.l
other "fixins" out of the horrible stuff; and
should, haplessly, a foot slip, causing the fin
gers to relax their grasp, the condition of the
fair ones' toggery, may be imagined, but can
not bo accurately described.
Tha soldiers, as a nutter of course, have an
interesting time of it in the camps, which are
bui rounded by a compound somewhat thieker
and more icjh than that of the City. The
roads r.i-e entiiely too heavy for field opera
tions, and thus an onward movement of the
Army on the Potomac is once more prevented.
The demoralization w hich inactivity is spread
ing more nnd more each day, has been so much
talked of that I do not feel like repeating it.
Those"who have the management of war affairs,
probably think they are doing everything that
can be done ; but the people are growing very
impatient, more especially when they hear
that the soldiers are anxious to have a chance
at the traitors. They do not admire so much
kid-gloveisiti gilded promises and pleasing
words must make way for hard blows and hard
fighting, if the respect and confidence of our
own ' people, and the nori-recogniticn of the
Southern Confederacy by foreign powers, is to
be maintained much longer.
On Wednesday, Mr. Gurley of Ohio, in the
House of Representatives, ruado some com
plaints as to the manner in which the war is
conducted. He said, that, thus far, our com
manders had been the victims of some unalter
able plan the creation of one mind which
had failed, whilst tittumpling to striko at all
poir-ts simultaneously, of accomplishing little
beyond what was doue without waiting for the
signal, but by giving blows whero tho
enemy might bo found. East Tennessee had
asked for ten thousand men for her defence
against the Rebels, but was refused on the
ground that they could not be spared from the
Potomac ; and yet there were absent, the other
day, from the army here, on pleasure or busi
ness, a thousand officers and seven thousand
privates- There was another case in point,
lie has it from good authority that, some three
weeks ago, ten to fiilteen thousand Rebels in
the neighborhood of Roniney, were virtually
in the power of a division of our army num
bering about forty thousand. Gen. Lander
sent a messenger to Gen. Kelly asking him to
join him in the movement, and Kelly, without
knowing what Lander did, sent a similar mes
sage to the latter. Gen. Banks was also invi
ted to co-operate, aud at the same time a tele
graphic dispatch was sent to headquarters in
reference to what was going on,when an answer
came, in form ol an order, not to advance,
accompanied by a reprimand for even the sug
gestion of snch a movement. He referred to
the blockade as a cause for shame, and inti
mated that the President was'anxious to prose
cute the war with vigor. He thought also that
he sav a streak of light resting upon tho chair
of the new Secretary of War a man, who, if
report spake truly, was like brave Ben Wade
of Ohio a good combination of "Old Iltckory"
and Zach Taylor, with a mind of his own, a
brain to plan, aod an iron will to execute.
And this reminds me that Secretary Stan
ton's order in regard to contracts is, as one of
tho New York dailies remarks, "the next best
thing to a tax bill." The order prohibits the
making of further contracts for. articles ol
foreign manufacture that can be produced or
manufactured in the United States ; revokes
and annuls all outstanding orders, agencies
and lirenscs for the purchase of arms, clothing,
&c, iu foreign countries ; requires all pefsous
claiming to have contracts or bargains with
the War Department, to file copies of tho a
greement with the Secretary within fifteen
days; and declares that a failure to comply
with this provision will be regarded as prima
facie evidence of . the claim being fraudulent
and void, and no allowance will be made there
on unless upon full aud satisfactory proof of
its validity.
To-day Mr. Cox, of the House, responded
to tho attack of Mr. Gurley on Gen. McCIellan.
He referred to the difficulties which Generals
Halleck : and Buell experienced on assuming
their- cammanda in Missouri and Kentucky.
He contended that, if Lander and Kelly had
been permitted to carry out their intended
movement against tho Rebels at Rouiney, it
would have most likely been auothcr Ball's
Bluff affair, and asserted that Gen. Banks ap
proved of Gen. McClellan's action in the mat
ter. As to the Army on tho Potomac, ho
said it could not move for mud. -lie inveigh
ed against the fledgling Congressional critics,
whoso experience was mostly confined to Bull
Run. He said that thoso who now were so
querulous about McCIellan were the same gen
tlemen who, in the Mexican War, believed
'Peace the true grandeur of Nations," and
echoed Ilosoa Biglow's slang
, "Filo away, you ttfin feller,
You may fite till you are yeller,
'Fore you get a hold of ma."
He hoped for tho sake of the common ob-
i?ct the restnrfitinnnfthe Union comnlaints.
which were discouraging" to the army and the
tax payers would cease. Yours, Oldtown.
Repeal of the "Personal Libertt Laws"
of Wisconsin. In the Wisconsin ; Assembly,
ou Friday last,. a large portion of the session
was devouted to a discussion of State Rights.
Mr. Pope's resolutions were finally adopted ;
the first, against secession, by a unanimous
vote ; the second, declaring against the right
of a State to resist the execution of the Fed
eral laws, with only three dissenting; and the
third declaring the resolutions ot 1S50 ex
punged, wiih seven dissenting votes. This is
right and proper. States that are helping the
Government to put down those rebelling a
gainst its authority, should bo the first to
clean their own skirts of a like offense.
Cotton Gathering at Pout Royal. Col.
Reynolds, the Government agent at Port Roy
al to superintend the gathering, ginning and
and tiansportion of cotton on Sea' Island, ar
rived at Washington, and had a long inter
view with the Secretary of the Treasury. He
has secured more than one million dollars
worth of cotton already. The two or three
thousand negroes just freed, are industrious
and orderly, and dotheirwork well and cheer
fully. They need clothing and medical atten
dance. Ho desires to take back an ample
supply of the former, and several physicians,
who shall devote themselves to these interest
ing workmen.
Regimental Bands. The Paymaster Gen
eral of the Army, in answer to an inquiry, es
timates the pay of the regimental bands at
over five millious dollars, exclusive of subsist
ence, clothing, etc. It is said, that a bill be
introduced into Congress, to discharge them
from service on the 1st of Jlarcli next.
Afloat. By advices from Norfolk, we learn
that the rebel steamer Merimac is ready for
service, and the rebels are of opinion that she
could sink the whole fleet in Hampton roads.
She is iron plated, and carries 10 ten-iuch
rifled cannon.
