    THE
RIAL
"t!.3WJJ$s
BY SAMCKL J. ROW.
CLEARFIELD, PA.. APRIL 1, 1802.
THE ALLEGED CLOTHING FBAUDS.
The report of the Legislative -committee to
investigate alleged frauds, perpetrated by offi
cers of onr State Government, upon the sol
diers who were furnished with clothing at the
public expense, on the breaking out of the
war, has at length made its appearance. From
.the girings out of the Democratic members,
who fcad tbo whole business in charge, the
people were led to expect a series ol develop
ments of fraud and corruption, unparalleled in
the history of onr Commonwealth, much as she
has suffered from peculation, in times past,
when the so-called Democracy wera in power.
The report which is signed by every member
of the Committee, and is, therefore, of course,
unanimous, not only clears the State officers
of ail -censure, but gives them the credit of
"saving the capital of the country from cap
ture by tho traitors, and the whole country
from disgrace." A more complete vindica
tion was never awarded to an Executive than
This Oommitteo has awarded to Gov. Curtin.
It shames and humbles his enemies, while it
rebukes that portion of his owa party friends
who were led away by the clamor of his polit
ical opponents. We direct attention to the
closing paragraphs of the report :
"Thattfcero Is so evidence which in any way
involves any officer of tfce Government in any
improper conduct in the disbursement of the
funds of the Commonwealth, or in providing
for the soldiers. On the contrary, the evi
dence atised the committee, that in every
instance when any wrong was brought to the
knowledge of the Executive, prompt mea
sures were taken for its correction.
"The committee feel it to be their duty, as
well in justice to the Executive as in honor to
onr noble Commonwealth, to state that, not
withstanding she has placed more men in the
field than any -other State in tbo Union, be
has pet them mure promptly and at a less ex
flense per man than cither the National Gov
ernment or any individual State of Whose ex
penditure Ley hare information, and the com
mittee 'hesitate -not to express their dear judg
ment that the thanks of the citizens of the
commonwealth are due to their Executive of
ficers for their self-denying and persevering
efforts to maintain her honor, and from the
citizens of the United States, that by such
efforts tho capital of the country was sawed
from capture by traitors, acd the whole coun
try Xrooi disgrace."
There are now but two parties in this conn
try, the Democratic and the Abolition par
ties ; or, the 4 Union Savers,' and the TJnioa
SUder." Clearfield Republican, Jpril 9.
The only interpretation of which the forego-'
geiag is susceptible is, that all who do not be
Jonj to the so-called Democratic party, Inclu
'.'iug President Lincoln, his cabinet, and eve
ry other Republican, are Abolitionists,' or
"Union Sliders." A baser calumny than this
"jrc- Tfrrcd, nnrt comes wilh a bad grace
irom editors who formerly were the political
associates and admirers of Jeff. Davis, Breck
inridge, Floyd, Cobb, Mason, Slidell. Yancey
and a host of other similar characters who are
now at the head of the Rebellion in the
South. In making this remark we do not east
any reflection upon the masses of the Demo
cratic party at the North them.we regard as
loyal. Nor do we charge our neighbors over
the way with being "Union Sliders j" but we
chaUenge the writer of the above foul slan
der to poiat out a single Republican who is
not true to tho Union.
Speaker or the Senate. Hon. L. XV. Hall,
whose Senatorial term will expire on the Sec
ond Tuesday of October next, vacated the
Speakership of the Senate of Pennsylvania, on
Friday morning the 11th of April. The Harris
burg Telegraph iu speaking of Col. Hall says :
"We need scarcely reiterate the good opin
ions we have heretofore expressed for the per
sonal and political qualities of Speaker Hall,
nor need we repeat the commendation be has
won, during the session just closed, from Sen
ators of all -parties, for the high regard he
has evinced in the success of legislation, and
the impartiality with which he presided over
the deliberations of tho Senate. He has tuado
a reputation which must prove his passport
to yet higher political position, while the
character he has won as a legislator at once
stamps him as a man of the highest order of
. ability and Judgment." -

The Committee on the -conduct -of the War
have beec taking testimony as to indignities
and outrages perpetrated -pn -ow wounded
on the battle-iield at fitrfl Rim, and up-on the
dead at subsequent periods. The "tetftirnony
is lull and reliable, and confirms aMa-t has
beea published. Several surgeons who were
taken prisoners, Capt. Rkketts, and others,
bare sworn to acts oommlted by tfie Rebels on
our wounded soJdiors, that would disgrace a
cation of savages. Malignant bate attd fiend
ish depaavity displayed are almost incredible.
Several Rhode Island officers and others tes
tified to lh treatment of our dead skulls
made into drinking cups, bones made into
drum sticks, rings, fee, were produced. Al
derman Scnale, of Brooklyn, has been four
days trying to rescue the remains of his son,
who was killed on the memorable Sunday,
and who bad beea buried by bis comrades.
But the body had been dug up and the bones
taken away, in many instances tho bodies
had beea pried out et tho shallow graves by
the rebels, and the buttons, clothe, bones, all
taken away h trophies.
All this has been done in the name and for
the benefit ot slavery. And yet there are
Democratic editors who aro horrified at the
idea that slavery might be injured in the
p.'esont war, and who denounce in the bitter
est terms all who are in favor of inaugurating
& policy which, while remunerating the loyal
owner of slaves, will gradually rid the country
of an evil which has brought all our present
troubles upon us. Can any one who has a
father, a son, a brother, relative or friend in
the Union Army, read the above and not feel
that the cause', in whose name such worse than
barbarous outrages are perpetrated, is acursed,
and taemble at the thought that similar indig
nities may be committed upon those near
and dear to tbem, should they unfortunately
fall on tho battle field in defense of their good

HON. JOHN PATTON.
From the Warren Mail, March 29.
We cut the following from the Washington
correspondence of the McKoan Miner. Our
Representative proves to be a genuine Repub
lican, and in these perilous times the people
want representatives npon whose fidelity they
can depend. He is also a worker and a man
of influence, and among other by no means the
least of bis qualifications for the office is the
fact that he makes l o long speeches. We
doubt uot that Gen. Patton will bo both re
nominated and re-elected..
"I cannot close without mentioning the
name of our Representative.Gen. John Patton,
who is, I understand a candidate for re-election.
His course in Congress, with wbicb
you are familiar, has been unexceptionable,
and will, without doubt, meet the earnest ap
proval of his constituents of both parties, un
less there be left a few among you who are for
peace with dishonor and States dissevered.
I hope there are nono of , this kind. If
there are, they should go to Dixie and find
congenial spirits. The labors of our Repre
sentative have been very arduous this session,
as he is on several working committies.one of
which the Committee on elections, gives its
members but little rest from labor. There
were, you know, many contested seats, and
that Committee is yet deeply engaged, with
out little prospect of rest for some time to
come. I know enough about legislation to
know how indiipensibie are such men to the
discbarge of that business which tho public
interest ao loudly calls for. , The present exi
gencies require that good and patriotic men
like Gen. Patton, whose fidelity and useful
ness is established, should bo retained, at
least until the present great criaia has passed."

A CHEAT BATTLE IN TENNESSEE.
MOST DESPERATE FIGHTING.
The Union Army Victorious.
Pittsburg Landing, Tenn.; via Fort Henry,
April V). On Sunday morning the 6th, the
rebels, in overwhelming numbers, attacked
our forces at Pittsburg landing. The fight
was brought on by three hundred of tbe5th
Missouri regiment of Gen. Prentiss' division,
attacking the advacce g-sard of the rebels,
which they supposed to be the pickets of the
enemy. The rebels immediately advanced on
Gen. Prentiss' division, on tho left wing, pour
ing in volley after volley of musketry and
riddling our camp with grape, canister and
shell. Our forces soon formed into line and
returned the fire vigorously, and by the time
wo were prepared to receive them, had turned
their heaviest fire on the left center of Gen.
Sherman's division, and drove our men back
from their camp and bringing up a fresh force
opened tire on our left wing, Gen. M'Clern
and's division. This fire was returned with
terrible effect a-od -determined spirit by both
the Jofantry and artillery atong the whole line,
a distance of over four miles. Gen. Hurlburt's
division was thrown forward to support the
center, when a desperate fight -ensued. The
rebels were driven back with terriblo slaught
er, but soon rallied and drove back our men
in turn. From about nine o'clock until night
closed, there was m determination of the re
sult of the struggle. The rebels exhibited re
markable good generalship. At times engag
ing the left with apparently their , whole
strength, they would suddenly open a terrible
and destructive fire on the tight or center.
Even our heaviest and most destructive fire
upon the enemy did not apipeur to discourage
their solid columns. The tire of Maj. Taylor's
Chicago artUlcry rajc-ed tbem dowu in scores,
but tlie smoke 00 sooner dispersed than the
breach was agaia filled. The most deqerate
fighting took place late iu tho alternooa.
BuelJ's forces bad by this time arrived on the
opposite side of tbo riv-cr, and another portion
was coming up the river from Savannah.
At ve o'clock the rebels had forced our
left wing bck jso as to occupy fully two
thirds of our camp, aad were fighting ia
their efforts to drive us into the river,
and at the same time heavily engaged our
right. Up to this time wo had received
no reinforcements, Gen. Levi Wallace failing
to come to our support until the day was over,
having taken the wrong road from Crump's
landing, and being without other transports
than those used tor the quartermaster's and
commissary stores, which were too heavily
laden to bring any considerable number of
Gen. Buell'8 fores across the river, the boats
that were here having been sent to briDg up
the troops from Savannah. Wo" were there
fore contending against congideiaWu odds, our
forces not exceeding 30,000 men, while that of
the enemy was upwards of 60,000. Our con
dition at this moment was exceedingly critical.
Large numbers of our men were panic struck,
and others, worn out by bard fighting, with
the average per centage of skulkers, bad
struggled to wadu the river and could not be
rallied. Gen. Grant and stafi, who had been
recklessly riding along the lines the entire
day amid an unceasing storm ot grape and
shell, now rode from the right to the left, in
citing our men to stana firm until the rein
forcements could cross the river. Col. Web
ster, the chief of the staff, immediately got
into position the heaviest prices of artillery
forming on tho enemy's right, while a large
number of batteries were planted along the
entire line from the river bank northwest to
our extreme right, some two and a half m!3
distant. About an hour before dark a gener
al cannonading was opened upoh the enemy
from along our 'uoio line with a perpetual
Crash of musketry. For a short time the
rebels replied with vigor and effect, but their
return shots grew less frequent and destruc
tive, while ours grew more rapid and terrible.
The gunboats Lexington and Tyler, which lay
a short distance off, kept raining shell on the
the rebel train. This last eflort was too much
for tho enemy and ere dusk the firing had
nearly ceased, and night coming on the com
batants rested. Our men rested on their arms
the position tbey bad at the close of the night in
until the forces under Major General Wallace
arrived and took position on the right ; and
General Buell's forces from the opposite side
and Savannah now being conveyed to the
battle ground, General Nelson's division was
ordered to form in the right, and the forces
under General Crittenden was ordered to his
support. Early on Monday morning, General
Buell having arrived, the ball was opened at
daylight by General Nelson's division on the
left, and Maj. General Wallace's division on
the right. General Nelson's forco opened a
most galling fire on the rebels, and advanced
rapidly as they fell back. The fire soon be
came general along the whole line, and began
to tell with terrible effect on the rebels. Gen
erals M'Clernand, Shermau and Hurlburt's
men, though terribly jaded from the previous
day's fighting, still maintained their honors
won at Donelson, but tho resistance of the
rebels was terrible and worthy a bitter cause.
Tbey were, however, not enough for our un
daunted bravery, and the dreadful desolation
produced by our artillery which swept them
away like chaff; but knowing that defeat here
would be the death blow of their hope, their
generals still urged them on in the face of de
struction, hoping by flanking us, to turn the
tide of battle. Their success was for a time
cheering, as they began to gain ground on us,
appearing to have been reinforced, but our
left,' under Gen. Nelson, was driving them
back with wonderful rapidity, and at eleven
o'clock' Gen. Buell's forces had succeeded in
flanking them and capturing their batteries ot
artillery. They, however, again rallied on
the left and recrossed, and the right forced
themselves forward in another desperate effort,
but reinforcementa from Gen. -Woo! and Geo.
Thomas coming In regiment after regiment,
which were sent to Gen. Buell, who bad agaiu
i
commenced to drive tho rebels. About 3 o'
clock p. tn., Gen. Grant rode to the left where
fresh regiments had been ordered, and finding
the rebels to be wavering, he sent a portion
of his body guard to the head of the five regi
ments, and then ordered a charge across the
field himself leadiug. Thc cairuon b ails were
falling like hail around hiwi. The men follow
ed ' with a ehoKjt chat sounded above the roar
and -d'i of the artillery, and tho rebels fled in
dismay and never made another stand. Gen.
Bueli followed the retreating rebels, driving
them in splendid style, and at half-post five p.
m., the whole rebel army was in lull retreat
to Corinth, with our cavalry in hot pursuit.
We have taken a large amount ot artillery,
and also a number ot prisoners. We lost a
number of prisoners yesterday, among them
Gen. Prentiss who is reported wounded. A
mong the killed pn the rebel side is the General-in-Chief,
Gen. Albert Sydney Johnson,
by a cannon ball, on theafternoon of Sunday.
Of this there is no doubt, as it s corroborated
by several rebel officers taken to-day. St is
further reverted that iieanregard bed 4ris arm
shot off.. This afternoon Gens. Bragg, Polk,
Breckinridge and Jackson were commanding
the rebel forces. Gen. Grant and bis staff
were in the field, and riding along the line in
the thickest ot the enemies' fire during the
entire two days, and all slept on the ground on
Sunday night -during a heavy rain. )n ever
al occasions Gtn. Grant got within rarge of
the -enemy's guns, and was discovered and
fired upon. Lieut. Col. McPherson had his
horse shot from under hitu when along side of
Gen. Grant. Capt. Carsea was between Gen.
Grant and a correspondent wken a -cannon ball
took off his head, and wounded several others.
Gen. Sherwaabad twa horses killed under him.
Gen. McClemand shared like dangers. and also
Gen. Hurlburt, each receiving bullet holes
through their clothes. Gen. Buell remained
with his troops during the entire day, and with
Gen. Crittenden and Gen. Nelson rode con-ti-nqously
along the 4ines, encouraging the men.
There never has been a parallel to the gallan
try and bearifigof our officers from the com
maadiag General to the lowest ofiicers. The
lowest estimates place our loss in killed and
weunded at 3,000, and in prisoners from 3.000
to 4,000. The rebel loss in killed and wound
ed was probably 10,000. Tho rebels in their
retreat left acres covered with their dead
whom they had carried to the rear. They
destroyed the heavy supply trains they had
brought -up.

GEN- POPE'S OFFICIAL BE P0 Ex
onerations at New Madrid and Island No. 10.
Expeditionary Forces.
New Madrid, Mo., April 9, 1862, f
Major-General H. W. HalJeck The canal
across the peninsular opposite Island No. 10
and for the idea of which I am indebted to
Gen. Schuyler Hamilton was completed by
Col. Bissel's Engineer Regiment, and four
steamers were brought through on the night
of the 6th. .
The heavy batteries I had thrown up below
TiptonviHe com, letely commanded the lowest
point of the .high ground on the Tennessee
shore, entirely cutting off the enemy's retreat
by wator ; his retreat by land has never been
possible through the swamp.
On tho night of the 4th, Capt. Walk?, of the
Navy, ran the enemy'a batteries at Island No.
10, with the gunboat Carondolet, and reported
to me here. On the night of the 6lh, the gun
boat Pittsburg also run tb blockade.
Our transports were brought iuto tho river
rrora the bayou, where they had been kept
concealed, at dsylight on tho 7tb, and Paine'g
division loaded. The canal has been a pro
digiously laborious work. It was twelve miles
long, six miles of wbich were through heavy
timber, which had to be sawed off by band
four feet under water.
The enemy has lined the opposite shore
with batteries, extending from Island No. 10
te TiptonviHe, Merriweatber Landing, to pre
vent the passage or the river by this army.
I directed Capt. Waike to run down with the
two gunboats at daylight on the 7th to the
point selected ior crossing, and silence the
batteries near it. He performed the service
gallantly, and I here bear testimony to the
thorough and brilliant manner in which this
offioer discharged his difficult duties with me,
and to the hearty and earnest seal with wbich,
at all hazards, he c ..operated with me.
As icon as he signaled me, the boats con
taining Paine's Division moved out from the
landing, and began tu cross the river. The
passage of this wide, furious river by our large
force, was one of the most magnificent spec
tacles I ever witnessed. By twelve o'clock
that night, the 7th, all our forces designed to
cross the river were over, without delay or
accident.
As soon as we commenced to cross, tho ene
my began to evacuate Island No. 10, and his
batteries along tho shore. The diviiions were
pushed forward to TiptonviHe as fast as they
landed, Paine's leading.
The enemy was driven before him, and al
though they made several attempts to form
io line of battle and make a stand, Paine did
not once deploy his columns. The enemy
was pushed all night vigorously, until at 4
o'clock A. M., he was driven back upon the
swamps and forced to surrender.
Three Generals, seven Colonels, seven reeU
ments, several battalions of infantry five com
panies of artillery, over one hundred heavy
siege guns, twenty-four pieces of field artiU
leiy, an immense quantity of ammunition and
supplies, several thousand stand of small arms,
a great number of tents, horses, wagons, etc.,
have fallen into our bands.
Before abandoning Island No.10, the enemy
sunk the gunboat Grampus, and . six of bis
transports. These last I am raising, and ex
pect to have them ready for service in a few
days. The famous floating battery was scut
tled and turned adrift with all her guns aboard;
she was captured and run aground ia shoal
water by our forcea at New Madrid.
'- Our success ia complete and overwhelming,
Our troops as I expected, behaved glononsly.
I will in my fnll report endeavor to d, fHji
justice to all. Brig. Generals Paine, Stanly,
and Hamilton crossed the river and conducted
their division with untiring activity and
skill. I am especially indebted to them.
Gen. Paine, fortunate in hiving the advance,
exhibited unusual vigor and courage, and had
the satisfaction to receive the surrender of the
enemy. Of Col. Bisscll, of the Engineer
rcgircent, I can hardly say too much. Fnll
of resources, untiring and determined, he
labored eight and day, and completed a work
wbich will be a monument of enterprise and
skiTl. We have crossed this great river with
a large army, tb banks of which were lined
with batteries of the enemy to oppose our pas
sage ; have purshed and captured all his forces
and materials of war, and have net lost a man,
nor met with an accident. JOHN POPE.
