- On Wednesday morning, November 26th,
between 2 and f o'clock, a gang of about thir
ty rebel guerrillas crossed into Maryland, and
made a descent npon -the Tillage of Urbana,
abotrt 7 miles east of Frederick, Md. Tbey
broke open and robbed Mr. Thomas A. Smith's
tore, who is the Postmaster at Urbana after
which tbey made Smith and a young man
named Harris, the assistant postmaster,mount
two of Smith's horns and go with them.
Smith being a resolute man, on the first op
portunity gave them the slip in the darkness,
when the banditti fired three or four shots at
him, but missed him. They thinking that
Harris might escape also, one of the gang ehot
him through the body, saying, "We'll make
abort work of you, before you try the same
game" after which they rode away, leaving
him for dead by the roadside. The ball pen
etrated Harris' left lung, but it is said be has
since died. The special object of the bandits
seems to hare been to carry awiy Smith, who
Is a pretty out-spoken loyalist.

No one would for a moment suppose, from

A50THER LETTER FROM BUCHANAN.
Ex-President Buchanan, in the National ln
telligencer of November 25th, "closes the con
troversy with Gen. Scott, and claims that he
has "already furnished clear and distinct res
ponses to the allegations of General Scott.
The ex-President then continues:
"I should now have nothing more to add,
had Gen. Scott, in his rejoinder, confined him
self to the topics embraced in his original let
ter. He has extended them, and now for the
first time, and in a sarcastic and no friendly
spirit, refers to the alleged stealing of the
public arms by Secretary Floyd, and their
transportation to the South in anticipation of
the rebellion. The most conclusive answer to
this allegation is, that, notwithstanding the
boasting of Mr. Floyd at Richmond, evident
ly with the view of conciliating his new allies,
cited by the General as his auihoiity) no pub
lic arms were ever stolen. Had Gen. Scott
reflected for a moment, lie could not bave
fallen ii to this blunder."
How far the ex-President's assertion, that
"no public arms were ever stolen," extends,
we will not say, but it has oft been stated as a
fact, that Floyd did ship to the Sonth all the
public arms that he could lay bis bands on.
Mr. Buchanan's resorting to subterfuges to
clear bis skirts of the odium which attaches
to him, on account of his course towards the
rebels in" the latter part of his Administration,
will avail but little. The people believe that
he had the power to crush the rebellion in the
bud, aud he neglected or refused to exefefse
that power and hence the responsibility for
Its outbreak attaches to him, notwithstanding
bis effort to show to the contrary.
DEATH 07 GEUJ-. JAMES IRVIN".
We learn by the Harrisburg Telegraph, that
Hon. James Irvin died l Hecklcy Furnace,
Centre county, on November 2Q' h. after a pro
tracted Illness. Gen. Irvin was born in Cen
tre county in 1800. At the time of his death
he was Naval Storekeeper at Philadelphia. : l'u
I860, be was elected to Congress, and was an
active and ehgetic member. In 1847, he was
the Whig candidate for Goveinor, but was de
feated by Shunk. In earlier life he filled the
positions of Brigadier-General and Major-Genera
of Militia. He has been extensively en
gaged in the manufacture of iron a man of
strict business habits, enterprising and liberal
the friend of the p'cfc'f and needy, and ever
ready to dispense trf his wealth with a munifi
cent hand; and hence, beloved by all who
knew him. His memory will long be revered
by tbe citizens of Centre county.
"The Administration would be a perfect fail
ure if its friends did not realize something cut
of the concern." Clearfield Republican.
We presunie, from the history of past Dem
ocratic Administrations, that our neighbors
estimate their "success" by the amount of
their stealings. To judge by this rule, the
plunder of those now in power wonld bate to
be enormous to be deemed a "success," if
compared with the grand larceny of Buchan
an, Floyd, and their associates.
Judge Andrews, Of the Circuit Court of
Kentucky, in a case which came before him
for adjudication, in which the constitutionali
ty of the Confiscation Act was brought di
rectly before tbe Court, decided that it is un
constitutional. The Judge, in tbe terse lan
guage of Professor Parsons, gives the Consti
tution to tbe rebels, "as a shield to defend
them, a sword to smite with, while to the gov
ernment it is but a letter."
'We are, therefore', as ignorant of tbe do
ings of those in power aa of the designs of the
Empefo'r ot Austria. " Clearfield Republican.
It was entirely traperffomr for the editors of
tbe Republican to vaunt their "ignorance" in
the premises-i-it 1 well known wherever their

" STTEES UTQS IN ENGLAND.
Not more than one and a quarter millions of
bales of cotton, it is stated, can be obtained
fn India the next twelve nionths. Tbe Amer
ican source of supply being almost entirety
cnt oS, leaves a deficiency of considerably
more than one-half tbe usual supply. , Of the
four millions of people dependent npon the
cotton manufacture for their daily bread in
England, not less than two and a blf millions
will be left destitute ol their ordinary means
of support. Gieat suffering for many months
to come, cannot be avoided; and millions up
on million of doHars will be required to sup
port the starting peopl'.i.
It is a striking fact that tbe people of that
country are experiencing more hardships from
this war than are those of the free States of
this Union. British cupidity, licensed" by
British laws, a century ago, forced slaves into
these colonies, against the wishes of the ma
jority of their people, and this is one of the
charges bronght against the King of Great
Britain in the Declaration of Independence,
and now, after so long a time, the bitter con
sequences of that great wrong to both blacks'
and whites are coming back to them. "I will
visit the sins of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth generation," says
the supreme Lawgiver ; and here we see it
verified in "a manner so strange, so beyond all
human calculation, and yet by a concatination
of causes So siaiple and obvious, that he must
be blind who sees not the hand of Omnipo
tence in the dispensation.
Great Britain planted slavery here; the
Northern States abolished it, while the South
ern States refused to do so, but cherished and
perpetrated if, and made it (be corner stone
of their social and political systems. Xow
mark the result. England is suffering terri
bly. The tree States, although engaged in a
fearful war, are in the enjoyment of domestic
peace and security, their barns filled with
plenty, their people bu?y and for the most
part prosperous. The States that cling to
slavery are wrapped" iti one wicfe, desolating
conflagration drenched in blood, pining in
starvation, and their people trembling in the
midst of the alarms. These are existing facts,
plain to the eyes of all mankind. Some will
say that it just happened so ; but both reli
gion and sound philosophy will perceive that
it happened so in accordance with a law that
it is dangerous to disregard. It is always
dangerous to do wrong, always safe to do
right. This being' admitted, it follows that
the President's proclamation is the safest step
that has been taken since etr? troubles began.

NAVAL PREPARATION.
There is unusual activity fri all the ship-yards
of Jbe country, fitting out vessefs-of-waf in
tended for operations against rebellion. In
tbe last six weeks thirty gunboats have been
fitted out in the Boston, New-fork, and Phil
adelphia navy yards, carrying 221 guns, and
all the vessels are steamers. At Portsmouth
and Washington the work has been equally as
rapid and extensive. The destinat ion of these
vessels is purposely withheld. In the West
the movements are quite as extensive, and a
land and naval expedition, under General Mc
Clernand and Admiral Porter, is to be a very
formidable enterprise, the object of which is
to open the Mississippi, so that a single ob
struction shall not remain. Calonel Ellett's
ram fleet Is to have a prominent position in
the flotilla. The boats composing it bave
been thoroughly overhauled and put in a con
dition for a winter's campaign. Thev can be
used' as rams in an action with tbe enemy's
boats, and can perform valuable service in con
veying transports through dangerous portions
ot the river. They are armed with boat how
itzers aud 12-pound guns. The Switzerland
will be the flag-boat of the ram fleet. She
has been completely case ma ted in every part,
and wili be able to do excellent service should

PENNSYLVANIA COTTON
We have received a sample of cotton that
was cultivated this season at Springhill Fur
nace, Fayette, county, Pa., by Mr. John Oti
phant. He states that he did not receive the
seed for planting so early, by one month, as
be desired ; still be is satisfied form his expe
rience that cotton can be cultivated success
fully in Pennsylvania, ."ni he is going to en
gage in its cultivation ot! a more extensive
scale next year. The quality is short staple,
and is of good strong fiber. The great dnw
back to tbe successful cultivation of cotton in
shy of the Northern States will be onr late and
early frosts; still there are many situations,
especial! On plains, protected by bills from
north winds, where it maybe successfullygrown
in the southern part of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. We have also been informed thai
there is a species of cotton in China and Japan,
cultivated in latitudes as high as that of New
"fork city, and that it is used extensively in
making both cloth and paper. The seed of
such cotton should be imported and tried.
Carolina cotton is an acclimated plant, not a

How Postooh BaiDQKS are Made. Pon
toon boats are flat bottomed, thirty feet long,
two and a bilf feet wide at the bow, and five
feet wide at the stern, swelling out at the sides
to tbe width of six feet. Each fits on a run

gage wagon for the pontooniers, carrying its
proportion of string pieces ot pla nk. On reach

cross by cables made fast up tbe stream, then
the String pieces are laid across from one
boat to another and on these are placed the
planks, each 21 feet long, which fof m tbe gang

What it Cos s to Encourage Eebellion.
The sympathisers with treason in St. Louis
are beginning to find that they have been en
joying a very costly luxnry. It will be re
membered that Gen. Halleck, last winter, im
posed upon them a liberal assessment, (which
was paid by many under protest, while others
permitted their furniture and oiber property
to be sold to make up tho amount.) for the
support of Union refuges who had been com
pelled by the rebel birslnvhackers aud guerril
las to abandon their homes iff distant pari of
the state. The St. Louis papers' intimate that
notices will soon be served upon these sympa
thizers to1 come dotfn with a rrew asSesmect,
varying from twenty -five fo thousand dollars
and amounting in the aggregate to half a
million. Tbe sum thus raised is to be applied
to the support of thedestitutefamilies of Union
soldiers. Verily, "the way f the transgres
soris hard," The rebels under Butler's teach
n?f at New Orleans, and under the operation
of Gen. Uallock's excellent order at St. Louis,
are beginning to realize that ' honesty is the
best policy," at last. Let them n.ke good
use of the knowledge - so dearly acjuired.

Nothing could better illustrate the soundness
of cnir national currency, than the fact that
the parties who took the late thirteen million
loan were unable to find in the market suffi
cient government paper with wbicb to make
their payments into the treasury. The banks
on which their checks'were drawn were una
ble to pay in that currency, and were obliged
to certify a part of the checks. This fact
shows the confidence of the public in the pa
per of the Government.
