CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH 5, 1862.
THE U. S. NOTE LAW.
The following condensed transcript of this
important law, as it passed both Houses of
Congress and- received the signature of the
President, will doubtless give a better idea of
what it contains than a publication of its for
mal prorisions hence we prefer it.
The law authorizes the issue of $150,000,000
of United States notes, of not less than fire
dollars each, payable to bearer at the Treasury,
without interest, and said notes may be rc-is-sued
as the public interests require. Fifty
millions of . the notes are to be in lieu of the
demand notes now in circulation, which latter
are to be taken up as rapidly as possible, and
the aggregate of both kinds in not to exceed
$150,000,000.
The new notes are made lawful money and a
legal tender ia payment of all debts, public
and private, within the United States, except
for duties on imports, and for interest on bonds
and notes payable by the United Stales. Interest
on the bonds and notes of the United States is
to be paid in coin, and nothing but coin is to
be received for duties on imports, except the
demand notes of the old issue now in circulation.
Holders of the new notes may deposit them
in sums of fifty dollars, or multiples of fifty
dollars, with the Treasurer or any Assistant
Treasurer of the United States, and receive
in exchange equal amounts of bonds, coupon
or registered, bearing six per cent, interest,
payable half yearly, which bonds shall be py
ble twenty years after date, but which are also
redeemable at the pleasure of the Government
at any time after five years ; and holders of
said notes may pay them at their par value for
aoy loans hereafter sold or negotiated by tho
. Secretary of the Treasury.
It is further provided, in the fourth section,
that the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer,
or any designated depositary of the United
States, may receive these notes on deposit for
not less than thirty days, in sums not less than
one hundred dollars, for which certificates
shall bo issued, bearing five per cent, interest,
and said deposits maybe withdrawn at ten
days notice. The interest on said deposits is,
however, to cease at the option of the Secre
tary of the Treasury, and the aggregate of the
deposits is not to exceed $25,000,000.
The second section of the act authorizes
the issues of $500,000,000 of coupon or regis
tered bonds, in suras of not less than fifty dol
lars, payable in twenty years, but redeemable
at the pleasure of the Government after five
years, which bonds bear six per cent, interest,
payable half yearly, in coin, and are exempt
from taxation by any State authority. These
bonds may be soM by the Secretary of the
Treasury at their market value.
Section fire provides that all duties on im
ported goods shall be paid in coin, (or in
United States demand notes of tho old issue
' until they are all taken in,) and the coin so
paid shall be set apart as a special fund, to be
applied, first, to the payment of interests on
Government bonds and notes; and, second,
to purchase annually one per cent, of tho entire
debt as a sinking fund. The residue of- said
coin ia to be paid into the Treasury.
The third section relates to the form of the
bonds and the manner of signing and attesting
, them; the sixth section relates to forging and
counterfeiting and altering the bonds, notes
and securities authorized by tho act, any
guilty participation in which is made felony,
and ia punishable by fifteen years' imprison
ment and a fine of five thousand dollars ; and
the seventh and last section relates to the safe
custody of the plates used in printing the
notes and - bonds, and makes any fraudulent
use of them, or the engraving, or using, vr
possession or any face smile of them, and all
other modes of fraudulent use, a felony pun-
isbable by fifteen years' imprisonment and by
fine of five thousand dollars.
Pabtt before Country. The Democratic
State Convention of Connecticut was in Ses
sion on the day of the arrival of the news of
the capture of Roanoke Island, by our troops
The following item from the New Haven
Courier shows how the gentlemen composing
(he Convention were affected by the news of
Gen. Bnrnside's victories :
"DuriBg the afternoon session, the report of
oeo. jaunasids's victory was handed to several
.gentlemen on the the platform, with a request
to anaouu.ee the joyful news to the convention.
They declined to do it, and then the President
ivas requested to read it, but be also declined."
Tie truth ia lbu fellows care more, for
(their party than tjiey do for tbeir country.
The CotiEcnojr or Goiro Seed. The ag
ricBltoral department of the Patent Office has
received a letter ftoca North Carolina stating
that collections of cotton seeds were being
made at Roanoke Island, and other points in
jthat State, which will be aent hither at an
arly day. The seed will be distributed, for
the purpose of experiment, through the mid
dle tod nortb-western States.
Pkith or Gzy. Lasdee. It is with sorrow
that we record the death of Gen. Lander.. He
died, on the 2d of inarch, from the effect of a
wound received at Edward's Ferry, (Sail's
Bluff). Gen. Lander was a brave man in
fact, one of the fighting Generals uf -the war
sadbis'Ioif will be deeply "Jrefretted by all
Jrat Union me. t ,
THE EFFECT OF THE VICTOBIES.
The recent Union Victories of Fort Ilenry,
Fort Donalaon and Roanoke Island, and the
evacuation of Bowling Green and Clarkesville
by the rebels, have inspired the Union men
everywhere with renewed confidence in the
Government, and of its ability to crush out
the rebellion ; while on the other hand these
have had the effect to discourage the rebels
and tbeir sympathizers to a corresponding de
gree. In Kentucky and Tennessee the war is
virtually at an end, and in Missouri, but little
is leit of the rebel cause. In tact, it seems
that the backbone of the Secession serpent
is now pretty effectually broken, and all that
is wanting is a vigorous blow at its head on
the Potomac, whilst an expedition down the
Mississippi demolishes its tail this done,
and an end will soon be put to resistance on a
large scale to the authority of the Union.
Now, then, is tho time to strike these blows,
and let them be dealt thick and heavy. On
this subject the Lancaster Union says : "The
rebels are disheartened and have no longer
that unshaken confidence in their prowess
with which they began the fight. Their chiefs
may galvanize them up to the point of fighting
several more severe battles, but it is quite cer
tain that a crushing defeat like that at Fort
Donataon will soon put an end to the war;
And then comes our greatest danger. The
timid, and the interested, will want to make
peace before tho country is ready for it ; be
fore the spirit of rebellion is entirely and final
ly eradicated. Even here there are a few
secret sympathizers with rebellion, who, if
they dared, would be willing, even now, to
yield to the South all it ever did or could ask.
Such men, wherever they are, will use all their
influence to patch up some hollow compro
mise by which the rights of the North shall be
jeopardized, and from which another rebellion
will spring up in the course of the next five or
ten years. Against all such schemes we warn
the people to be on their guard. "Eternal
vigilance is the price of Liberty !" This rebel
lion must be trampled out effectually now, and
forever. Too many millions of treasure rep
resenting human life and human labor have
been expended ; too vast a mountain of debt
has been piled upon the shoulders of ourselves
and our children too many valuable lives
have been sacrificed, to end this war like the
senseless dispute of a Pickwickian debating
club. It must be crushed so effectually thai
rebellion will not be thought of lor the next
hundrcdyears. To all who have been deluded
and misled by the wickedly false misrepre
sentations of the guides of public opinion in
the rebellious states, we would, upon full and
unconditional -submission, extend a full and
free pardon ; but to the leaders, to those who
.have corrupted and misled the minds of the
populace, ve would mete out the most severe
punishment. Every man concerned in get
ting up the most causeless and wicked rebel
lion the world ever saw, should swing as high
as Hainan on tho gallows." .
Truth Leaking Oct. Mr. McDougal, tho
Democratic Senator from California, in the
course of an able speech on the expulsion of
Jesse D. Bright, said :
'Since 1832, there has been a continual or
ganized war against the principle of constitu
tional government. He contended that there
had been a regular plan to bring about seces
sion, which was well known to. Democrats,
and known to him (Mr. McDougal), and, as a
Democrat, the Senator from Indiana must hare
known of the fact. The war w hich has been
so long planned, was Actively inaugurated be
fore the letter was written to Davis, and he
(Mr. McDougal) could consider that letter in
no other light than an act of treason. A Sen-,
ator of the United States, who knowing all
the facts, could write such a letter, was not
fit to remain in the councils of the nation.
Treason was the highest of all crimes, and
ought to receive severe punishment."
Here, then, we have the admission of a Dem
ocrat that tbore has been a continual organ
ized war against the principle of constitutional
government," for 30 years ; and that there was
"a regular plan to bring about secesssion
which was well known to Democrats." We
presume, that this admission of Mr. McDougal,
will convince all honest and thinking men,
that the assertion of the Breckinrtdgc leaders,
that the present war was the result of the clcc
tion of Mr. Lincoln and the action of tho Re
publican party, is a gross misrepresentation
on the part of those leaders.
'On Which Side?" The following rather
sharp "hit" is from the Uniontown, (Fayette
co.,) Standard. It is to the point and needs
no comment :
There is a controversy between the Pitts
burg Post and Gazette as to who did the fight
ing at Fort Donelson. The Post contends that
"Democrats" did the fighting, but does not
wish to be understood that there were none
others in the service.
Several years ago when it was the custom
to gather up all the "old mortajities" on
Fourth of July occasions, and give them prom
inent positions as revolutionary soldiers, there
was a celebration in one of our eastern coun
ties. The Committee of Arrangements, in
looking around for revolutionary relics, found
"an old Dutchman," whom they gladly ush
ered upon the platform where the orator was
to hold forth. In the course of his spreadeagle
flights, the speaker portrayed the noble deeds
of Washington in glowing colors, and to pro
duce a profoucd sensation, appealed to his
revolutionary hero to know if it were not so.
"Oh, yaw, yaw !" said the Dutchman, "put 1
was mit Kornwallis."
"The clever old Dutchman had been a "Hes
sian soldier," more from necessity than choice,
and had subsided so quietly, that posterity did
not know which side be was on. So it will be
with the "Democrats" who fought inside of
the intrenchments at Fort Donelson. Truly,
the "Democrats" are fighting the battles, but
a majority of them are "mit Kornwallis."
Just bo. We clip the following paragraphs
from the Lancaster Union, of February 26th :
' "Colonel Logan and Gen. McClortand,Doug
las Democratic Congressman from Illinois, a
bandoned their positions in Coneress"to lead
tbeir regiments into the thickest of the frav in
the late battles in Tennessee.
"Colonel Biddle, a Breckinridge Democrat
of Philadelphia, abandoned his position at the
bead of ODe of the .finest reglmenfs in the
service, (the Backtabs) to take a seat in Con
gress,. Comment ji unnecessary I"
THE MESSAGE OF JEFF. DAVIS.
Tho Message of the Confederate President
is a singular document. The first thing which
attracts attention is the absence of that self-
confident tone which has hitherto marked
rebel documents. The rebel Chief admits
that serious diasters have befallen their arms,
but he labors to break the force of the disasters
by a lame attempt to throw doubts over the
accounts of their extent, on account of the
absence of official reports. Ho does not tell
why the official reports have not been received,
when he is aware that the whole force at
Roanoke Island and Fort Donelson were cap
tured, and consequently the Generals com
manding are prisoners. Does ho wish an
official dispatch from Fort Warren 1 He can
not believe that a large army has surrend red
at Fort Donelson without a desperate effort to
cut their way out, when all the acts must
have been before him, communicated by Gens.
Johnston and Floyd. He says nothing about
the fall of Nashville, although lie has direct
telegraphic communication with Memphis,
and other points where the facts must be
known. He is throwing forward reinforce
ments,and hopes for better results inthefnture.
What will he say when be learns that a few
more thousands are captured at Murfreesboro.
But the most amusing part of the Message
is the description of the cheerful condition
of the Exchequer. ''There is no floating debt,
and the credit of the Government is unimpair
ed." We presume the debt is so heavy it will
not float, and we presume the credit of the
Government is unimpaired, because it never
had any to impair. What is called Govern
ment credit is a forced circulation of Treasury
notes, which, but for compulsion, would not
pass for ps much as the cost of the paper they
are printed on.
He derives great consolation from the fact
that he has spent only about a third as much
as Lincoln during the War, but he did not
take the trouble to tell us that he had nothing
to show for his expenditure, while our Gov
ernment can point to a mighty array and navy,
and to half the Southern territory conquered.
While his money is squandered, and his
army demoralized and falling to pieces, and
his navy extinguished, the federal troops, fully
equipped and armed, overrunning his terri
tory, and our ships of war by hundreds hover
over his entire coast and sail over his largest
rivers. Wo have spent a good deal of money,
but we have something to show for our expen
diture. What has he got 1" Ruin stares
him in the face, while an impoverished peoplo
will rise up and curse him.
He says the effort of the Federal Govern
ment to conquer the rebellion is "vain !"
This whistling to keep his courage up will not
deceive any one. He does not believe it
himself. He must bo pretty well convinced
by this time that he bad staked his all on a
desperate venture, and lust !
"THE TJNI03T AS IT WAS."
A phrase is in current use which seems to
us somewhat ambiguous. People say, "We
are anxious to see the Union as it was, again
established." "The Union as it mas .'" What
does the expression mean ? Under the admin
istration of Pierce and Buchanan we had what
was called "Union." Then, apparently, as
the price ot Union and the condition of its
continuance, the entire powets of the general
government were weilded in the interests of
of slavery. There was no limit to the demands
of the slaveholding oligarchy, and scarcely
any to tho ready concessions of supple north
ern Democracy. That interest was supreme
in the councils and actions of the govern
ment. There are not a few among us whose
loyalty has not been even pronounced, but
who would be glad to see that Union re-established,
and whose zeal is most ardent for a
Uuion of that kind and no other. Indeed
we are not sure the Confederate Congress
would not i eadily accept that as a "compro
mise." It was not against that a government
which they controlled, and in which slavery,
was the paramount interest that they rebelled.
If by "the Union as is was" is meant a state
of things where the executive powers of tho
government arc for the sake of the Union, to be
placed in the hands of such men as Buchanan,
with such counsellors as Cobb, Floyd, Toucey
and Thompson if such men as Mason and
Toombs, and Davis, and Hunter, are again to
lord it insolently in the Senate chamber or
the Honse of Representatives is to be kept in
uproar and disorganization for two months
by factious slaveholders if that be "the
Union" which men desire to see restored, it
is well to understand it beforehand.- The
Union which we d sira to see, is that cordial
one which was intended by the Constitution,
in which the just rights of all sections shall be
respected, and the laws shall be obeyed ; in
which the powers of the governmeat shall be
impartially and justly exercised, and not per
verted to the support of slavery. Civil war is
indeed a terrible evil, and no good man can
desiro to see it needlessly prolonged. But
since it has been on foot in behalf of an inter
est demanding exclusive control, and by men
resolved to rule or ruin, the sacrifices it has
already cost will be less than in Vain, if the
loyal people, under the name of "restoring the
Union," arc to concede to the audacious
traitors, all which they menacingly clamored
for in the utsot. To declare that tbeir cause
was just, and the rebellfon on their part
rightful, would not be more absurd than now
to yield them again that supremacy in the
government which they had in "the Union as
it was." Harrisbnrg Telegrqph: '
A Fojnteo QuESTios.--The Germantown
Telegraph, asks the following "question : "As
war now exists between England and Mexico,
what would the British Ministry say if, in
carrying out their own doctrine of neutrality,
we excluded from our harbors the vessels of
war of both nations ?"
On tbe 25th February a Sre occurred in Bos
ton, which destroyed property ralaed at half
a million of dollars.
THE NEWS OF THE WEEK.
In consequence of the National Government
having taken possession of all the, telegraph
lines, to prevent tbe transmission of news of
the movements of ourjarmy that might accrue
to the benefit of the rebels, our army summary
is quite Deagre this week. Below will be
found, however, a number of interesting items :
On tbe 22d of February Jeff Davis was inau
gurated President of the rebel confederacy.
His inaugural is intended moru as an appeal
to foreign nations for sympathy and help, than
as an exposition cf the principles of the Gov
ernment. From all accounts, tbe inaugura
tion was a most mournful affair no cheers, no
rejoicing, no enthusiasm, no illuminations.
Lieut. Givin, had proceeded up tbe Tennes
see river with a gunboat as far asEastport,
Mississippi, on the 20th February. He says
the Union sentiment is strong, all along the
river.. On bis way down, he took on board
1,000 sacks and 100 barrels of flour and 6,000
bushels ot wheat at Clifton, Tenn., to prevent
it being shipped to the rebels at Memphis.
When the rebels abandoned Mudtown, Ar
kansas, it would appear that they poison
ed the provisions that thy left behind, and
that 42 of our oflicers aud men weie poisoned
by eating the same. In view of this Gen.
Halleck has issued an order, stating that all
persons guilty of such acts when captured,
will be hung like fellons.
On the 23d February, Nashlville, Tennessee,
was taken possession of by Gen. Nelson, of
Gen. Buel's Division, the rebels having evacu
ated the place the day before. Gov. Harris
burnt all the State papers that he could lay
his hands on, before he left. He went with
the array to Murfreesboro'.
On the 1st of March, the rebels evacuated
Columbus, Kentucky. Before leaving they
destroyed much property, and burned their
winter quarters, etc. It is said that they in
tend to occupy and fortify an island in the
Mississippi, a short distance above Memphis.
It is said to be clearly understood between
the allied powers that a monarchy in Mexico
will result from the invasion of that country,
notwithstanding the assurances given to the
United States that they should not seek any
political object there.
On the 20th February several gunboats of
the Burnside expedition were sent up Chowan
river, N. C, and discovered the rebels in
force at Winton. After a short fight the rebels
fled, who set the town on fire before leaving.
The Savannah (Georgia) Republican of the
26th February says: "Communication with
Fort Pulaski has been effectually closed by
the federals, who have erected three batteries,
with heavy guns, at commanding points.
On the 24th February, a severe gale pre
vailed in New York, causing a number of
vessels to drag their anchors. In Brooklyn
five houses were blown down, and the steeples
off several churches.
On the 2Gtb February, Gen. Banks division
crossed the Potomac, and occupied Harper's
Ferry. On the 28th he advanced as far as
Charlestown, Va., and took possession of the
place.
On the 23d February, Fayetteville, Arkansas,
was occupied by a portion of Gen. Curtis'
command. The rebels burned the greater part
of the town before they retreated.
On tho 27th February, Gens. Buckner and
Tilghman passed through Cleveland on their
way to Fort Warren.
Gordoh, the Pirate. The Lancaster Union
says : Captain Nathaniel P. Godon, convicted
of engaging in the slave trade, was hung on
Friday the 21st February, in New York. His
counsel and friends urgently implored Presi
dent Lincoln to interfere in Gordon's behalf,
but without effect. This is the first case of
the kind in our history and, therefore, de
serves notice. The man's trial was a fair one
and his conviction was just. But he would
not have been hung, if James Buchanan or
Franklin Pierce had been President of the
United States. The extreme tenderness of
those Presidents for the institution of slavery
would hare secured him a pardon. The con
viction and the execution show that peoplo
and President have at last come to a right ap
preciation of the slave trade and that they
have the courage to execute the laws against
those who engage in the infamous traffic. The
whites of the North at least are emancipated
from their Southern masters, if the negroes
are not.
Secession and thb "God of Battles."
The Richmond Enquirer talks very piously
upon the superiority of religious to irreligious
soldiers, and laments that the Confederates
are getting wicked. It says: "We must
remark the painful evidences of the loss of
the sense of our dependence on God as the
war has progressed. It did not-eommence sa.
The city of Charleston is said to have been, on
the eve of the battle of Fort Sumter, like one
vast altar, from which ascended the incense
of prayer. The whole nation, from Virginia
to Texas, commemorated our early and bril
liant victory at Manassas by thanksgiving in
the ten thousand sanctuaries of the land. But
there has lately been a marked relaxation of
the sense of our dependence on the God of
Battles. It has been impiously said thst the
battle at Belmont was won by the energetic
oaths of our officers."
Redeldom. The entire rebel territory is
closed in. Not an escape s afforded at a sin
gle point, except it is at the point of tho bfty
nt Sua oowle knives of the traitors them
selves. The Stars and Stripes, goat In erpry
rebel State float even iq South Carolina,
where they were repudiated, and where they
should be made to wave in terror to the trai
tors who have cursed that State from the hout
that a wbJte man put his hand on the African
and claimed him as a slave. Let us rejoice,
then, that the rebel territory is thus surround
ed, and when the command is given to "close
in," we may confldentally expect to hear less
of southern chivalry and more of respect for
the federal authority than has ever beea utter,
ed or entertained in the rebel States.
Why ? We see it stated that the President,
to avoid jarring in our" army, called upon Gen.
M'Clellan in person (about two weeks since)
and requested that officer to designate a com
mand to be assigned to Gen. Fremont. This
baa not been done as yet. Why this delaying ?
flare we too many officers ? Or, are there
tome laurels to be won soon, with which this
appointment might interfere 1 However, jus
tice will be dona Gen. Fremont ere long, as
tbe President has tbe appointing power.
