I M-1 t Y i! $1 ; 11 -til it '1 I it l" 3 : M v,t -ft? BY SAMUEL J. ROW. CLEARFIELD, PA., FED. 26, 1862. Telegraph around the Globe. Senator Lane's proposition to the Senate is one to make a man take his breath and stare. It has tbe sanction of the Military Committee, and is nothing less than a telegraph from Paris to San Francisco, passing through St. Petersburg and Moscow, across the European boundary into tho cold countries of Siberia, running in to Tartarr, and passing tbe northern boundary of tbe great Chinese empire, joins tbe Amoor river, and keeps along the shores of the Ok hotsk sea, and through the wild province of Tckutcb, until it passes from Asia into the narrow waters of Behring's Strait, embraces tbe Western Continent, on the bleak shores of .Northern Russian America, crosses, the penin sular territory abore Prince William's Sound, pauses in Sitka, tbe capital of the Russian province, runs along tbe coast to Vancouver's Island, from thence to Oregon, and over, the golden shores of our Pacific States until it rests at San Francisco, and uniting with our great Pacific line, brings London within a day of New York. It cannot but startle the pro gressive people of this ambitious and daiing age. Success to tbe enterprise. The Disloyal States. Several bills for tbe government of tbe disloyal States are now be fore the committees of both houses of Con gress. Mr. Ilutcbins' bill, finds favor, as it is understood. In reference to the question ot slavery in the District of Columbia, Mr. Hutch ins takes the position that slavery has no legal existence in tbe District, for tbe reason, first, that Congress has no constitutional power to adopt or enact a law establishing slavery ; sec ond, that the laws of Maryland in force on tbe "7th of February, 1801, which Congress on on that day adopted for tlm District, did not provide for perpetual slavery, but confined it to the natural Uvea of the children then born, or thereafter to be born of slaves then imported or thereafter to be imported. This law point was made in the Senate some weeks since by Senator Pomeroy of Kansas. These measures touching the institution of slavery in the dis loyal States, as well as in the District ot Co lumbia, will receive a careful consideration in Congress after the financial bills shall have been disposed of. The Battle of Mill Spring. General Thomas has published his ofiicial report of Ibe battlo of Mill Spring. It does not ditler in its details of tbe contest from tbe reports al ready published. It appears from this tbat our loss in the battle was thirty-nine killed and two hundred and eight wounded ; tbe reb el loss, one hundred and ninety-two killed, and one hundred and fifty-seven prisoners, of whom eighty-six are wounded. Iu this account the wounded carried off by the retreating rebels are, of course, not reckoned. Besides this, our forces captured fourteen pieces of artillery, fifteen hundred horsss and mules, tbe entire camp eqnipage of Zollicoiler's army, and a large quantity of stores. The public will be pleased to know that the name of this famous battle is at last settled; Gen. Thomas, in his ofiicial report, calls it tbe battle of Mill Spring, and by this name it will, therefore, be entered in tbe log of history. The Lebanon Courier says truly tbat it docs not believe that any party existing in this country has shown a more fixed determination to pnt an end to corruption by ferreting out and punishing offenders, than the one now in power. We have, it says, the encouraging spectacle before as of leading Republicans carefully investigating all matters pertaining to public contractors and officials of doubtful integrity, and fearlessly exposing them, no matter whether tbe exposure strikes friend or enemy. There is no disposition to follow tbe example of the party formerly in tho ascend ant to cover up theso corruptions until they break out in running sores, making the body politic as rotten as a leper. We hail this new condition of things with pleasure and welcome tbe disposition shown to compel integrity, as the barbenger of better days for the Republic. Br Whom Avthorized. We see it stated tbat Gen. Hallack suggested the plan of tbe operations, in Kentucky and Tennessee, which wero crowned with such signal victory. "Formed in the West, and on the ground, the plan was submitted , by Gen. Ilallack to the President, and was approved and authorized by the President. To Mr. Lincoln who took the responsibility of ordering the movements which crushed rebellion in the West, (and to Secretary Stanton), the honor and credit belong," An Admission. A Iato able military review er at Richmond writes : "McClellan holds our great army at Manassas in a vice." Thus by the enemy's admission oar Potomac army has net been useless. It has paralyzed tbe largest, bravest and the most ablo-commanded army that tbe Confederate States ever gathered. Assiosedto Stone's Division. Brig. Gen. Sedgwick, of Gen. HeinUelman's Division, has bee a assigned to the command of Gen. Stone's Division, and will enter upon bis du ties immediately. Gen. Sedgwick's'poiition in the regular army was that of 21 a; or of the Toartb United States Cvairy, L. W.. Hall, Esq. A special correspondent of the Philadelphia .Evening Journal, is a letter dated Ilarrisburg, February 18th, 1862, makes the following allusion to L. W. Hall, Esq., tbe Senator from this district; which shows tbe high estimation in which he is regarded by men in other sections of the State : This is private calendar day, and although I Blight find material for a letter among such a mass of rubbage, yet I prefer to be engaged in other business. I went over to the Senate, and the doorkeeper, with an alacrity truly as tonishing, opened the door, and in tbe bland est manner possible invited me to come in. The manner in which the invitation was given precluded me from refusing. It is astonish ing how polite men become when they become the attaches of such a quiet body as the Sen ate. I went in, and the first person my eye lit npon was lion. Lewis W. Hall, the Speaker. He was standing erect, and with that gravity tor which Senators are peculiar, he seemed to be scanning with all imaginable scrutiny the thoughts and opinions of his peers. The si lence which prevailed was so ominoa,v death like, that I imagined they were engaged in settling some grave question of constitutional law, by which the "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" ot some poor fellow mortal was to be sacrificed. The Speaker's eye rested upon me as I en tered. For a moment, his sterness relapsed into that composure and giaccful characteris tic which talent and politeness ever foresha dow, and t really thought he was going to in vite me to take a seat along side of him. I have no doubt tbe promptings of his heart were in this direction, but tbe solemn dignity, tbe great responsibility which the position do mands at his hands, prevented him. I was content, but a number of Senators, who, ob serving something peculiar in the Speaker, looked about for the cause, and when they saw the great "Unknown," they immediately left their seats, and vied with each other In their expressions of profound regard for my talent and ability. The Speaker seemed satisfied with this manifestation, and proceeded to the discharge of his duties. Mr. Hall is a most excellent presiding officer and as I observed bim carefully, I can say that be is not only correct in his decisions, kind and affable in his intercourse with Senators, but impartial, prompt and determined. He has a good voice, and can be heard in every part of the chamber. His words are uttered with a distinctness, which relieves a listener from that fretfulness arising from a desire to understand, without the possibility of doing so. He is yet a young man, but be has thus fir given untuistakeablo evidence of talent and ability. How to Test Ihpcre Oil. Much of the re fined oil now in the market is of an inferior quality, aud some of it is said to contain- por tions of benzole, which consumes rapidly, and increases th danger and expense from the use of oil as a burning fluid. Tbe following is a simple test : "Pour out into a saucer a portion of the oil ; then approach the surface with a lighted match ; if the oil is defective little sparkles of blue flame will arise from it, and it may even take fire over the whole sur face, while a good and safe oil will not take fire until it has had time to become considera bly heated, but will not burn around tbe wood of the match where it is immersed in it, with out spreading over the saucer. Another rule is to regard all cheap oils with suspicion, as experiment with the writer has demonstrated their deficiency of quality. It may also be added that tho cheap oils, while apparently somewhat more economical in the purchase, will be found, being more light and volatile, to be consumed in much less time than the denser oils." Our State Qcota. The act providing for the assumption of that portion of the direct tax which has been apportioned to the State of Pennsylvania, passed both branches of the Legislature and has been signed by the Gov ernor. Official notice of the fact has been communicated to tbe Secretary of the Treas ury, and there only remains the passage of the receipt for the full amount of the tax, between the Treasurer of tho United States and the Governor, to show that tbe States' indebted ness baa been fully liquidated. Thus the people of the Commonwealth are relieved from taxation on this account for tne ensuing year, a condition which the people of no other State can boast of. Pennsylvania has not only furnished the largest number of men for the war, but she is the first by her example to re lieve the necessary burdens pressing upon the National treasury. A BaiEr Reply. Burnside is one of the Generals "that do not issne proclamations." Ho is a roan of action not of words. This was shown by his "speech" on the reception of a flag presented to him at Washington, at an early period of the war. After the spokesman-of the donors had delivered a flattering speech and had presented tho flag, Burnside received it with au expression of satisfaction on his countenance, made a courteous bow and said : "Very much obliged to you I very much obliged to you! Move on, men!" That is it. No words to spare. "Move on men." A Noble Move. There has been a meet ing of Philadelphia merchants, for the pur pose of raising funds for a most laudable ob ject. Several gentlemen have subscribed one thousand dollars each. The intention is to raise two hundred thousand dollars for the maintenance aud education of tho children of Philadelphia soldiers, who fall in battle, de fending tbe Union. All honor to the noble men who have projected so excellent an enter prise. Such men are really patriots, and en titled to the warmest gratitude of all Union lovers. Died. The Presidents son, William, ten years of ago, was relieved of his painful illness altera delirium f 90 hours, by death, at 5 o'clock on Friday afternoon, the 21st inst. It is said that Mr. Lincoln feels bis loss very deeply ; and the grief of the family la in creased by the fact that other of its young members are lying dangerously ill. Roanoke Island. The official report of the battle of Roanoke Island has been published, from which we learn that our loss in killed is 60, and wounded 222. The number of rebel prisoners taken, 2,627, and 3,500 arms. A bout 76 tons of ammunition was also taken at tbe different fortifications. Tbe rebel loss in killed was 13 snd 39 wounded, so far as could be ascertained. C0RBESPOHDENCE OF THE "JOURNAL." IIarrisburg, Feb. 24. 1862. Dear Journal Thure is an absolute dearth of news here, nnd I am at a total loss what to make up to be of any interest to your readers Tbe general news certainly possesses little or no interest any where just at this time when all eyes are turned toward the South, and when each successive mail must bring you fresh news of the triumph of our arms. The war, sir, is the Aaron's rod of tb day in the way ot news. There is nothing, I protest, in legialation, so tar, worthy or special attention. A few bills have beeu passed lately, but not one of them can I find possessing any local interest. Tbe investigating Committees are at work, but whether their labors are likely to result in any thing, is a mere matter of surmise. Tbe Committee selected to ferret out the alleged corruptions of last session, it is confidentially whispered hve not discovered a single in stance wherein they can charge home on any one, so that it is quite likely that, becoming disgusted with their mission, they will report at an early day. The Committee appointed to investigate the alleged frauds in tbe disbursement of the Ar my appropriation are going over percisely the same ground alieady traveled by a commission appointed by the Governor, and they too must necessarily soon end their labors. A bill ot some importance to every section of the State where men were recruited, fas tnere is a consiaeruie amount ot money due for debts incurred, of a nature which the gen eral Government refuses to recognize or liqui date, on tho principal that it only can pay men from the time they were mustered into service, and consequently no expenses incur red previous to tbat time,) is pending in the Senate, and will no doubt he acted upon at an early day. Hopkins' proposition to repeal the law commuting the Tonnage Tax, is made the special order for Wednesday. Of course there will be some debate, but Mr. Hopkins' bill can not pass. There is a proposition now pending in tho Senate to adjourn from tho 21st of March till the Cth of June. The object is not for the pay of members to run on during the interim, neither is it intended to change tbe State mileage or payment for an extra session. By tbe 21st there will be nothing to do but pass a general appropriation bill. By the 6th ol June Congress will have decided upon the mode of levying the direct tax, and it will le quire but a few days for the Legislature then to transact all the necessary business. I almost forgot to mention another investi gating Committee appointed s;nce my last. It is one got up at the instance of Set ator Lowry to investigate alleged frauds in the winding up of tbe affairs of tho bank of Com merce at Erie. Some rich developments are expected. There are few acts of incorporation asked tor this session. The reason is obvious. The state of the country does not justify men go ing into doubtful enterprizes. There are still a lew, however, but they are not gigantic in their proportions. Both Houses adjourned over on Friday, and went to Philadelphia for the purpose of spend ing the 22d, and for the first time in forty years Washington's Farewell Address was not read in the Hall of the House. Excuse brevity, and especially the dryness of my epistle. Yours, Specks. New Made Patriots. It is wonderful what a difference a Union victory makes in the way that some people regard tho rebellion. There are fellows around who have for months been decrying tbe war, who have persistently argued that the government could never "conquer the south ;" that the longer tbe war continued the stronger and more determined the rebels would become, and that the only true policy was to recognize the independence of the southern confederacy. The Union army has been the constant butt of their remarks, and Bull Run and Big Bethel were standing jokes with them. They secretly applauded at every reverse and sneered at and depreciated every victory of tho government arms. Bnt now when Gen. Scott's "big snake" begins to con tract in earnest, when the rebels find them selves flanked in all directions; when tho eastern coast is at last opened to our advance, and we have effected an opening through the very heart of rebeldom, indicating and prom ising a speedy wiping out of the traitors from the face of the earth, these fellows begin to sing a different tune and to talk in the most patriotic manner of the cause of tho Union and tbe villainy of the rebels, and are even ready to "pledge their lives, their fortunes and sacred honor for the support of the gov ernment." The north just now is full of theso newlymade patriots. It is astonishing to see their zeal now-a-days for the war ! We would suggest, however, that the government owes them small thanks for their sudden ardor in its cause. When tbe nation was in gloom and dismay when treason was jubilant and auda cious when the three months recruits de manded lo be discharged these now noisy friends of the government, were then the equally noisy detainers of what they termed its imbecilities &Dd failures. It is well to mark such men. They are known for their vituperation of Republicanism, and their sick ly adulation of the rebel leaders. We venture the assertion that there is not a man who reads this paragraph but knows men such as thoso to whom we now refer, and who could, if ne cessary, point to these individuals daily in tbe streets, To tht Editor of the New York Tribune : Sir I cannot suffer undue meiit to be a scribed to my official action. The glory of our recent victories belongs to the gallant offi cers and soldiers that fought the battles. No share of it belongs to me. Much has been said of millitary combinations and organizing victory. I hear such phrases with apprehen sion. They commmenced in infidel Franco with the Italian campaign, and resulted in Warterloo. Who can organize victory ? Who can combine tho elements of success on the battle-field 1 Wo owe our recent rictories to tho Spirit ot the Lord, that moved our soldiers to rush into battle, and filled the hearts of our enemies with terror and dismay. ' The inspi ration tbat conquered in battle was in the hearts of tbe soldiers and from on high ; and wherever there is tho same Inspiration there will be the same results. Patriotic spirit, with resolute courage in officers and men, is a millitary combination that never failed. Wo may well rejoice at the recent victories, for they teach us that battles are to be won now and by us in the same and only manner that they were ever won by any people, or in any age, since the days of Joshua, by boldly pur suing snd striking the foe. What, under the blessings of Providence, I conceive to be the true organization of victory and military com bination to end this war, was declared in a few words by Gen. Grant's message to Gen. Bnck ner "J propose lo more immediately on your workt!" Tours, truly, E.M.Stanton. A Fact. The happiest demonstration of patriotism d urine the v.ar. wan tho shipment or relief for tbe wounded at Fort uoneisoo. jo sooner were tbe fact known than immense medical supplies, and sick room comforts. SCCOmDanied bv Volunteer mirronnf sad nurses, were started from Ciucinnati, Chi cago, at. ijouis, Indianapolis, Hamsburg, and otbsr points. PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS. PREPARED TOR THE "RAFTSMAN'S JOURNAL." Cinton Cocntt. On Friday morning Feb ruary 14th, at about 1 o'clock, the usual quie tude of Lock Haven, was interupted by the cry ot fire! It was soon found that tbe drug store and dwelling bouse ot Mr. E. L. Shultz, on Water street, together with the barber shop occupied by Julius Lindig, were in flames. These buildings burned to tbe ground and it was with great difficulty that the adjoining buildings were saved. It is not certainly known how the fire originated. Mr. Shultz's loss was near $10,000 of which $6,000 was covered by insurance. Mr. Lindig lost the whole contents of bis shop, including furni ture, shaving utensils and perfumery to a large amount. . . On Friday the 14th, after the disastrous fire which consumed the buildings of Mr. Shultz, and while a number of young boys were seeking for nails nnd other little articles among the ruins, Albert Hunt, son of Dr. Hunt, an old and highly respected citizen of Lock Haven, sudden fell into a well which had been under the building and was con cealed by tbe rubbish and the firebrands, bot stones and coals falling upon him burned him so severely that he died the next evening. . . . Ou Monday afternoon, the 17th, while a ped dler was driving along below Dunnsburg, his wagon slipped over the bank into tbe caual, drawing the horses along, and throwing the man upon the ground with such violence as to fi act ore his leg. Dr. Armstrong, who was returning that way, from a visit into the coun try, took tho man to Lock Haven and set his l:g, and be is now doing as well as could be expected. Schuylkill County. On Monday morning, February 10th, between 12 and 1 o'clock, a frame one-and-a-half story building, located on the Coal Castle tract, near Heckscherville, and occupied as a dwelling by a miner named Thomas Connel, was debtr6yed by fire, and himself, his wife, four of their children, a male boarder and a servant girl, eight persons, peiished in the flames. The names of tbe children are James, John, Bennis and Georgo ; the name of tbe boarder, Michael Hollaban ; and the servant's Bridget Condon. Not a person who was in the house at the time es caped. From Havana, etc. The Mexicans insists on the re-embarkation of the Spanish troops before they will enter into negotiations, but consent that 200 allied troops shall attend the j negotiations at Orizaba. The allies state that they shall advance during February to Oriza ba, and give battle at Ceno Gordo, if they are opposed. The Mexican papers express the greatest hatred for the Spaniards. Miramon arrived at Havana and it was stated he would sail on the 15th for Cadiz, but he will doubt less make his way to Mexico. Vera Cruz dates to the 8th state that no advance of the allied forces had yet been made. There were over 1,000 sick soldiers at Vera Crnz, besides hundreds that were at Zerefera. The vellow and typhoid fevers had broken out among thorn. rho war in Venzueia continues. The gov ernment had notified the editors of the jour nals of that country that Ihvy must affix -their names to tbe articles they may publish here after, as they would be held personally respon sible for the sentiments they expressed. fcev eral prominent persons had been arrested. A frightful revolution raged in Honduras President Guard iola had been assassinated at his door. The troops had joined the insur gents and the greatest excesses were being committed in Truxillo. Dates from St. Thomas, West Indies, to the second says tbat a British commander at tempted to take a seaman from an American vessel by force but the United States gunboit protected the man. The governor of, St. Thomas notified ttie British officer that the guns of the fort Mould aid the Iroquois iu this resistance. The British admiral, who ar rived subsequently, reprimanded the comman der, and duly apologized to tbe American consul for the indignity. Accident at Fort Donelson. Cairo, Feb 19. The 2'ribune'a correspondent, in giving a description of the battle at Fort Donelson, says that when Colonel Craft's brigade, which had been ordered to reinforce General McClernand, came up in the rear ot the Thirtieth and Thir ty-first Illinois and Twenty-fifth Kentucky, these regiments were lying down and firing over the crest of a hill. On the approach of the reiniorcttments thoy rose, not knowing whether the force in their rear was lriend or foe, and the Twenty-filth Kentucky, supposing them to be rebels, poured in a raking volley on them which did terrible execution, and was sufficient to throw the entire brigade into disorder at once. Almost a panic ensued, many throwing down their guns and equip ments and fleeing. The woods were filled with stragglers, aud some even fled to Fort Henry. The enemy improved the opportunity, and ad vanced upon Schwartz's and Dressdcr's bat teries, capturing five guns and taking posses sion of McLlernand's head-quarters, driving our forces nearly a mile and a half. Tho reb els seemed resolved to follow up their advan tage. At this juncture, General Wallace's Division was thrown in front, and took a po sition on a ridge, with Taylor's Battery in the centre of the road. The rebels formed on the ridge which General McClernand had occupied, and, flushed with success, moved forward. As soon as tney came in range, Taylors Battery opened on them with grape, canister and shell. causing the rebels to quail and come to a halt, and as our infantry advanced they . began to fall back, and we recovered the ground pre viously lost. The Blockade. Concerning the blockade of the southern ports, an officer of our fleet writes that only three steamers have got ont of Charleston in ninety days, and only two out of Savannah. In the rigid blockade of the French ports by Great Britain, during the last great European war, there was nothing that was as complete and effective as Is our pres ent blockade. Our blockade against vessels going in is equally effective, which is proved by tbe exorbitant prices for all foreign com modities throughout tbe southern States. From Fort Donelson. According to last advices the gunboat St. Louis had gone up the river to Clarkesville and found the enemy a bandoniug tbe place. It was subsequently oc cupied by our troops. Two large flat-boats laden with munitions of war were captured just below ClarksviUe. The actual number of prisoners taken at Fort Donelson was 13,300, among them Gen. West not before mentioned. Two rebel regiments have since come in and delivered themselves up ; and one other regi ment, which had come to reinforce the rebels was captured, not having beard of the surren der of the fort. Strange Punishment. A singular punish ment of public degradation was inflicted a few weeks ago at St. Petersburg, on Michael Mik hailoS, guilty of propagating seditious wri tings. A sword was formally broken over his back, and he was sent for six years to work in the Siberian mines. " A subscription has boon made amoDgst literary people of St. Peters burg on behalf of the condemned, and tho sum of four thousand eight hundred crowns has been raised to enable bim to rjde the journey to Siberia.
