BY SAMUEL J. ROW.
CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH 12. 1862.
Make a Note of it. The Pro-Slavery De
mocracy at tho last election supported for
President John C. Breckinridge, who is now a
rebel General, and for Vice President Joe
Lane, whose preferences arc for the rebels.
Tho more moderate portion of the Democ
racy, (or Douglas wing), supported tor Vice
President ITershel V. Johnson, who is now
Attorney General of Jeff Davis' rebel Cabinet.
The "Union" party, whose platform was the
"Constitution," supported (or President John
Bell, now a rank Tennessee Secessionist.
Thus, it would appear, that Abraham Lin
coln and Hannibal Hamlin constituted the only
entire loyal ticket for President and Vice
President, and that the Republicans were the
only party who did not vote for a Secessionist
at the late Presidential election.
Some of the men who supported Secession
ists and whose hearts are still with their old
masters whilst they proclaim themselves good
Unionists arc at present engaged in reading
lectures to those who supported loyal men.
They are especially alfecting when they speak
of the Constitution and its guarantees, and all
that. But tbeie are thousands upon thousands
who thank God that the candidates of these
men were not chosen, (although they were al
lured into tho support of Secessionists by
Fusion electoral tickets), who now repudiate
the doctrines of the party which misled them,
and who will hereafter act with the party
which alone supported loyalists for President
and Vice President.
Tub Blight of Secession. The Rebellion
has developed no more sad or melancholy cir
cumstances, than those connected with the
services and death of Gen. Zollicofler, and the
sorrow and orphanage in which ho left his
motherless daughters. Since the death of
Zollicofler, other results in connection with
his children, have come to light, which exhibit
still further, tho blighting effects of rebellion
on all classes ot the south. When the rebels
evacuated Nashville, they destroyed tho grand
wire bridge which spans the river in that
neighborhood, in disregard to the protest and
earnest entreaties of the authorities and citi
zens of that city. In the stock of that struc
ture, tho orphan daughters of Zollicofler had
invested all they possessed in the world the
means of their support. They aro now beg
gars. Orphaned by tho influence and rashness
of rebellion beggared by the ruthlessness and
barbarity of those who lead on rebellion. How
many more such cases will the history of thi
most wicked outrage against (Jonstitutjona
liberty and law exhibit J
Patriotic Response. Between twenty-five
and thirty ladies, of the highest respectability
have tendered their services to Mayor Sawyer
of Pittsburg, as nurses, under tho recent in
quiry of Gov. Curtin, as to how many good
surgeons and nurses could be obtained there
in case their services were required. Most of
these ladies called personally upon the Mayor,
and many of them have friends in the army of
the Potomac either husbands, sons, brothers
or more distant relatives. A few residing out
side the city bare volunteered by letter, and
among these is a young lady residing at Rich
Valley, who writes a very patriotic note to the
Mayor, evincing a willingness to go at any
moment, and devoto her best efforts to reliev
ing the wants and alleviating the sufferings of
our brave defenders. These tenders are made
at a time when there is comparatively no ex
citement, but should the news of a bloody con
flict startlo our people, there would be no limit
to the number of ladies who would volunteer
to goto Washington, or even to the battle field
Rather Frigid. A proposition has been
made by the British ministry to our Govern
ment, wmcn is coot Deyona example. It is
that, in case of war between the two countries,
privateering should, as to them, be abolished
After their hospitalities to the pirate Nash
ville at Southampton, which bad just burned a
first-class morcbant ship in sight of the Brit
ish coast, and their protection to her on her
exit from that port their refusal to abolish
privateering as a principle . ot public law, un
less an exception was made in favor ot the
rebel confederacy ; it is difficult to conceive
anything more sublimely impudent than the
proposal referred to.
"Let us always remember that the triumph
oi me Democratic organization undents pres
ent leaders, no matter what their professions,
will fee greeted by the traitors in arms as their
own victory."
This is what Mr. Forney writes to the Phi la-'
delpbia Prtts, and places it in emphatic ital
ics. This is the testimony ot a Democrat, who
hae better opportunities of knowing the true
Democratic sentiment than any man in the
United States ; and he is borne out by the
resolutions of Democratic conventions, and
utterances of Democratic presses. They have
more in common to-day, with Jeff Davis & Co.,
than with the Republican party. '
The Htrrlsburg Telegraph says : "The Loco
foco Press are claiming that the Democratic (7)
leaden have pursued a straightforward poiiey
in relation to the war to suppress rebellion.
We admit the fact, bot it ha been a straigh
tforward policy to aid the rebels wherever an
opportunity was efftred."
Democracy is its Present Aspect. The
Providence Post, a Douglas paper during the
last Presidential election, now gives vent to
the following treasonable sentiments :
"Slavery existed in twelve of the thirteen
States when the Government was established,
and did not at all interfere with our political
harmony. We agreed to let it alone. If we
had kept our agreement, there would have
been no trouble. But we of the North set out
to legislate for the South, and the South re
sisted. Imagining that we meant to go far
ther than we had gone or really intended to go,
she organized rebellion just as we should
have done, probably, if she had in like manner
interfered with and threatened any of our pe
culiar institutions. It was interference, and
threatened interference, or appiehecded inter
ference with States Rights, which caused re
bellion. And we frankly admit that if we can
not consent to stop this interference, and all
show or suspicion of it, this particular Federal
Government which we are now struggling to
maintain, must have an end ; and wo must have
two or three separate governments all Repub
lican it may be in its stead."
Treason more rank, remarks the Philadel
phia Press, falsehood more brazen, has never
appeared in the Charleston Mercury or Rich
mond Enquirer. The victories of our army
and navy, the bravery of Burnside, and the
self-sacrificing patriotism of Sm-azue. have
not served tomoderate these incarnate traitors,
who, under the name of Democracy, still insult
the loyal people of the loyal States, and clam
or for a division of the Union, while our sol
diets are fighting to maintain it. It is un
necessary t unmask malignant like these.
They glory in their shame, and court the con
aemnation oi their countrymen. Let us not
be deceived by entrusting to them the reins of
government. The success of our armies
seems to have so angered these secret sympa
thizers with secession that they are unable to
hide their feelings, and they unmask them
selves in many different ways, without intend
ing it. We hope they will soon stand out in
all their hideousness, that we may know them
A Provisionae Government tor Tennes
see. General Andrew Johnson and Messrs.
Maynard and Ethridgc, of the House, have
left Washington for Tennessee, to establish a
Provissional Government. Gen. Johnson will
immediately, upon his arrival at Nashville,
call upon the loyal people of the State to elect
delegates to a Convention, to bo charged with
the duty of declaring the place of Gov. Harris
and his rebel associates vacant, of electing
new officers and setting a loyal State Govern
ment on its feet. Gen. Johnson will have a
herculean task before him, for he will find lit
tle honest support any where in the State ex
cept among the hardy mountaineers of the
eastern part of the State, who care nothing for
slavery, but would gladly see it blotted out.
In Tennessee, we shall have the first real ex
periment of how the task of governing the
subdued States is going to work, and we shall
therefore watch Gen. Johnsoa's attempt at re
construction with tho deepest interest.
HO ARE THE iRUK FRIENDS OF THE COUN
TRY ? Mr. Forney, in a letter to the Press, in
discussing tho question of the future policy ot
the Government, in relation to the settlement
after the war, speaks of the attempts ot the
Breckinridge Democracy, to effect such recon
struction as will bring back into power their
late Secession associates. He says :
"iuu ii I? taai we una niem opposing
an legislation which looks to the condign
punisnnienc ot me rebels, and to the for-
leiture oi tneir property, buch acts being,
according to their theory, in violation of the
Lonstitutioit, must not be attempted. They
uiu ciatnor jor a trial by jttry Jar JSuckner,
Floyd, Davis, Benjamin, and Beauregard, and,
when this is conceded, will intrigue for their ac
quittal, hailing the occasion as another oppor
tunity to offer a premium for treason, and to
divide and degrade the popI of the loyal
States. Cold and callous while their country is
.(. . .. .... j
oieeaing ai au lis veins, tney will be most merci
ful and magnanimous to tit letrayers"
Rather a Joke. The rebel War Depart
ment has perpetrated a huge joke in calling on
Tennessee for thirty-two more regiments.
Even had they men, they have no more arms.
Harris scraped tho State long ago for all the
oia Hint-locks and squirrel rifles and shot
guns. Most of those were left at Logan's
Oross Roads, and Forts Henry and Donclson.
The call is a loud one, and shows the agony of
anxiety that torments the conspirators.
What it Cost. The following item is given
in the late news from England ;
"The expense to England of the Mason and
simell aflair is understood to have cost X3G1.
000." We opine that If millions of dollars is pay
ing pretty dear for a whistle that the Time
said "was the most worthless booty that Eng
land could contend for" and "she would have
done just as mnch for two negroes."
It is a coincident that while a convention of
planters at Richmond were discussing the pro
priety of burning their cotton and tobacco,
r . i ....
.no vunuu iaciory mere caugnt nre and was
completely destroyed. If these conflagrations
continue, the burning desire of the rebels to
bite off each other's noses to spite their faces
may be fully gratified.
In their excitement the
,w,S!te icuerai
gunboats everywhere. A Memphis paDer. the
other day, reported nine of them some thirty
miles from navigable water. The little mon
sters bare created a great terror in Dixie's
iana.
The Memphis Avalanche advises the forma
tion of guerrilla bands armed with rifles of
long range, to establish themselves behind
trees, logs and narrow bends of the Tennessee
river, to pick off Lincoln pilots..

INTERESTING WAR NEWS.
Jeff. Davis issued an order on the 1st of
March, proclaiming Martial law in Richmond
and the adjoining country for ten miles. John
M. Botts and a number of other citizens of
Richmond have been arrested for holding
Union sentiments. The Richmond Dispatch
callsr attention to the mysterious writings on
the walls of the city, indicating that Union
conspirators are at work in their midst, such
as "Attention Union Men," "Watch and
Wait," "The Union Forever," "The Day is
Dawning," "The Hour of Deliverance Ad.
,roacbes," &c. It was these significant an
nouncements that caused the arrest of Botts
and twenty other suspected citizens of wealth,
character and position, and the proclamation
of martial law. The Dispatch urges summary
measures for checking the progress of treason,
and advocates the arrest and execution of tne
conspirators.
On the 26th February, one company of Union
troops was surprised by 800 rebels nearKietts
ville, Barre county, Missouri. Tho rebels
represented themselves as Texas Rangers.
They fired into a bouse where our men were
killing two and wounding one. One rebel was
killed ; the balance took with tliem 70 horses
and burned two wagous loaded with army
stores. Pi ice also burned several public build
ings at Fayetterille, and the arsenal, lead fac
tory, several flouring mills, and 100,000 barrels
of flour. Many of the inhabitants now say
that they had been deceived by tho lies of
Price, who said they would all be butchered
by our troops. A strong Union feeling is ex
hibited among those remaining. An old sol
dier of 1812, brought out a Union flag that he
had long kept concealed.
A rumor was current last week, that Presi
dent Lincoln had declared his purpose to take
the actual command of the army, and sup
press the rebellion in Virginia without further
delay. The credit of planing the victories
that have saved Kentucky and Tennessee are
accorded to him. Whatever plan of action
upon the Potomac line will be finally adopted
will undoubtedly be his. The actual comman
ding of our loices by the President would
prove a splendid success, as no man in the
country could so awaken the enthusiasm and
reslcre the confidence of the troops as be.
Commander Foote, about the 1st of March,
onpatcnea Lieut, uryant with tho gunboat
Cairo up the river on a reconnoisance, and,
wnen about six miles below .Nashville, Lieut
IS. discovered a rebel battery of lo guns. A
few shells from tho gunboat dispersed the
rebels. Lieut. B. then landed 90 marines who
followed the retreating rebels, but had to fall
imcK in return, the rebels having been rein
forced by some 3000. The rebels then opened
nre upon the boat, but were soon repulsed with
a heavy loss about 50 killed and 200 wounded.
The rebel steamer Nashville run the block
ade off Beaufort, N. C, at dawn of day on the
1st mat. ihe Richmond Dispatch says, the
Nashville came direct from Southampton to
the North Carolina coast, with the Union flag
flying, and passed within a short distance of
the blockading vessel, who, on discovering
me deception followed tho JXashvillo until
within range of Fort Macon having in the
mean time fired several shots without damage
to me iMasuvme.

IMPORTANT AVAR NEWS.
Naval Engagement near Fortress Monroe, be.

States frigates Cumberland and Congress.
The Cumberland Sunk and the Congress Gurnt by

VICTORY IN MISSOURI, ETC.
Fortress Monroe, March 8. The dullness
of Old Point was startled at 10 o'clock to-dav
by the announcement that a mysterious ves
sel, supposed to be the Merrimac, looking like
a submerged house with the roof only abov
water, was moving down from Norfolk by the
channel in front of the SewelPs Point batte
ries. Signal guns were also fired by the Cum
beiland and Congress to notify the Minnesota
St. Lawrence and Roanoke of the approaching
danger, and all was excitement in and about
Fortress Monroe. There was nothing protru
ding above the water but a nag staS, flying th
rebel flag, and a short smoke stack. She mov
ed along slowly, and turning into the channel
tending to Newport News, steamed direct for
the frigates Cumberland and Congress, which
were lying at the mouth of James river. As
soon as she came within raaee. the Cumber
land opened upon her with her heavy guns
but the balls struck and glanced off, apparent
ly having no more effect than peas from a pop
gun. Her ports were all closed, and she mov
ed on in silence but with a full head of steam
In the meantime, as the Merrimac approached
the two trigates on one side, the rebel iron
clad steamers Yorktown and Jamestown came
down James river and engaged our frigates on
the other side. 1 he .Newport News batterie
also opened on the Jamestown and Yorktown
and did all in their power to assist the Cum
berland and Congress, which, being sailing
vessels, were at the mercy of the approaching
steamers, the Merrimac, in the meantime
moved steadily on her course, and slowly ax
proached the Cumberland.when slu-, at the dis
tance of one hundred yards, and the Con
gress, rained full broadsides on the iron-clad
monster. The shot took no effect, glancing
upwards and tlying off, hiving only the elfec
oicnecicing ner ior a moment. Alter receiv
ing the first broadside of the two frigates, she
ran on to the Cumberland, striking her amid
ships and literally laid open her side. She
then drew oft", fired broadside after broadside
into the disabled ship, and again dashed a
gainst her with her iron clad prow, and knock
ing in her side, left her to sink, while she en
gaged the Congress, which laid about a quar
ter of a mile distant. The crew on board of
her, seeing the hopelessness of lesisting the
iron-cjad steamers, at once struck her colors
Her crew had been discharged several days
since, and three companies of the .Naval Bri
gade had been put on board temporarily, un
til she could be relieved by the St. Lawrence
which was to have gone up on Monday to take
her position as our blockading vessel of James
river. On the Congress striking her colors,
the Jamestown approached and took from on
board of her all the officers, but allowed the
crew to escape in boats. Tho vessel being
thus cleared, was fired by the rebeN, when the
Merrimac, with her two iron-clad companions,
opened with shot and shell on the Newport
iews batteries. The nre was brukly return
ed. In the meantime the steam frigate Min
nesota having partly got - up steam, was being
towed to ttie relief of the two frigates, but did
not get up until too late to assist them. She
was followed up by the St. Lawrence, which
was taken in tow by several of the small har
bor boats. It is, however, rumored that nei
ther of these vecgeis had pilots on board them,
and mat alter a short engagement both of them
seemed to bo, in the opinion of pilots on the
point, aground. The Minnesota, either inten
tionally or from necessity, engaged the three
steamers at about a mile distance with only
her two bow guns. The St. Lawrence also
poured in shot from all the guns she could
bring to bear, and it was "the impression ot the
most experienced omcers that both had been
considerably damaged. Now darkness came
on, though tho moon shone out brightly, noth
ing but the occasional flashing of guns could
be seen. The Merrimac was also believed to
be aground, as she remained stationary at the
distance of a mile from the Minnesota, making
no attempt to attack or molest her. These
statements are all based on what could bo seen
by the glass at the distance of nearly 8 miles.
The SewelTs Point battery fired several euns
at the Miunesotaas she went up, and the Pig's
Point battery was enabled to join in the gen
eral attack upon her. Fears were entertained
for the safety of the Minnesota and St. Law
rence in such an unequal contest. It is said.
that it was the intention of the Minncsota.with
her picked crew, to run into close quarters
with the Merrimac, avoid her prow and board
her i but it seems tho rebels were not inclined
to afford this opportunity, no doubt fearmir
the result of such a contest. Tugs were sent
up to draw our vessels off" the bar ; and when
the boat left for Baltimore firing had ceased,
whether from mutual consent or necessity was
not ascertained up to that time.
Received by Tuesday Evening's Mail.
By last nights mail we learn that tho Merri
mac engaged the Cumberland about one hour,
when the latter vessel was left in a sinking
condition, and went down about 3 o'clock.
The Merrimac then turned her attention to
the Congress, and in less than an hour after
wards a white flag was hoisted oa the latter.
A rebel gunboat then went alongside ef her,
and took the officers and marines prisoners,
whilst the seamen were alowed to escape to
shore. In the evening the Congress was. set
on fire and blew up with a tremendous ex
plosion. After i o'clock the Merrimac continued to

One of tho rebel gunboats was disabled the
first day. The U. S. gunboat Oregon had a
ball shot in her boiler on tbe last day. Lieut.
Wordon of tho Moniteur was injured by some
fragments from a shell hiting him in the face.
His injuries are not supposed to be dangerous.
Commodore Dnpont has taken Brunswick;
Georgiaj and Fcrnandina, Florida. At tire
latter place is Fort Clinch, which was hastily
evacuated by the rebels on the fleet throwing in
some shells. This is the first U. S. Fort that
has been re-captured from tbe rebels.
From Washington we learn, that there Is no
.longer any doubt that the rebels have evacu
ated Centreville, Winchester, and other im
portant points, indicating a general falling
back of their forces.
An official dispatch from St. Louis says :
The army of the southwest, under Gen. Curtis,
after three days hard fighting, has gained a
most glorious victory over the combined forces
of Van Dorn, McCulloch, Price and Mcintosh.
Our loss is estimated at 1000 killed and wound
ed. That of the enemy is still larger. Guns,
flags, provisions, etc., were captured in large
quantities. Our cavalry are in pursuit of the
flying enemy.
The rebel Tennessee Legislature has scat
tered alter several ineffectual attempts to do

not being able to rally the people to his aid.

Col. Geary left Lovetlsvilie with his command,
and marched through Wheatland and Water-
ford, taking prisoners at both places, and
putting the scattered forces oi the enemy to

took possession of Fort Johnson, which was
re-christened by the officers "Fort Geary.
He then entered the town, with flags flying
and bayonets fixed. The rebel troops, who
had considered this as one of their strongholds.

and a quantity of army storts, and are in pos

also taken. The command is all well and in
good spirits. This brilliant achievement, ac
companied by a well-timed blow and skillful
maneuver, is of vast importance. A detach
ment of the First Michigan Cavalry did much
seivice, under the direction of Col.' Geary, in
this movement.
Washington, March 9. About 2 o'clock p.
