CLEARFIELD. PA., FEB'Y 4, 1863.
THE LATEST NEWS.
A fight took place in the Bayou Tccbe,
Louisana, about one hundred mile from New
Orleans, on the 14th January, between the
rebel iron-clad gunboat Cotton, and several
small wooden gunboats under command of
Capt. Buchanan. Our land forces drove the
rebels about four miles beyond Pattersonville,
where the rebel troops were drawn up in line
of battle under cover of their gunboat. The
right lasted nearly all day,' but the rebels were
flnaiy repulsed their gunboat making its
scape up the Bayou. The rebel loss is heavy.
The casualties on our side foot up about one
hundred. During the engagement Capt. Bu
chanan was struck on the temple by a Minie
ball and Instantly killed.
New Orleans papers say that a large force of
Union troops, supposed to be a part of the ar
ray which had been operating in the neigh
borhood of Vicksburg, had been landed on
th Louisiana coast, at Gaines's Landing and
Lake Providence. The negroes in the vicin
ity of the above points, it Is said, flocked to the
Union armies in largo numbers.
On tho 29th January a large rebel force cros
sed the Blackwater, Ya., which was attacRed
and repulsed by the Union troops under com
mand of Gen. Peck. The rebels had a strong
position and were commanded by R.A.Pryor.
Our cavalry were in pursuit of the flying reb
els at last accounts. Col. Corcoran 's brigade
was in the fight.
Lato advices from the Gulf state that the U.
S. steamer Brooklyn bad bombarded, Galves
ton, Texas, but with what result is not known.
The Harriet Lane is said to have gone to sea,
as a rebel pirate, before the arrival of the
Brooklyn of! Galveston. The rebel steamer
Orota was also destroyed by one of. our gun
boats. It Is reported that Gen. McClernand's forces
have landed on the Louisiana side of the Mis
sissippi, two miles below the mouth of the
Yaseo, and in lull view of Vicksburg. Two
brigades were at work opening the famous "cut
oT." The river is bank lull at Vicksburg.
Pennsylvania last season exported coal to
the value of thirty-four million dollars. Of
coal and coal oil she produces more value
than California does of gold.
The Richmond papers state, that the Feder
al gunboat I. B. Smith had surrendered to the
rebel force in Stono river, South Carolina, on
January 30th.
It Is stated that Gen. Stono is now being
tried by a court-martial in Washington.
Four thousand of the prisoners captured at
Arkansas Post, have been sent to Chicago.
DISPLAYING THE HOOFS AND HORNS.
The last issue of the Republican, the Cop
perhead organ in this place, contains a letter
from "a man of observation," in which the
following sentences occur :
"The cause is unjust on our side for men that
are in bondage should sutler and die for their
own liberty ,and not those that are not in. . . .
If you will let mo prophecy a little, I will tell
you that tho army, and all the border States
and nearly all tho free Status, are just on a
balance, and if they fall on tho leaders, wo to
them for I am most as angry at our leaders
as I am at the rebels and the men all seem
to feel the same. It there is not something
done soon, stand from urMor ! for an outraged
array and an outraged people will make things
get, in a hurry. . . . There is nothing worthy
of going to war for, only our liberty. Now,
our liborty is not at stake and don't think
the ww is just on our part, but is just on theirs ;
for if ycu were in the South, and an army was
trying to take yosr liberty from, you would
fight like deronah'on anyhow I would."
This letter is sanctioned editorially by the
Republican. If this language is not treasona
ble, we should likoXo know what it is ! And
yet those who utter and givo publicity to it
bave the audacity to claim that they are the
only true friends of the Government.
President Limoolh's Last. Tho President
looks haggard and careworn who wonders at
it? yet he presrves his good nature, and
some now-story or bon mot from him Is always
la circulation. The last was uttered on Sat
urday, at the public reception when a western
paymaster In full Major's attire was introdu
ced, and said ; "Being here Mr. Lincoln, I
thought I'd call atid pay my respects," "From
the complaints of Jhe soldiers," responded
tho President, "I guess that's about all any ol
you fio pay. Washington Cor. Boston Jour.
Copperhead Secret SocirfiEs. In tho In
diana legislature on Thursday of last week a
resolution was offered in tho IIous. ordering
an Investigation Into the secret political soci
eties alleged to exist In Indiana. Every dem
ocrat in tho House voted against the resolu
tion. The Indianapolis Journal says that le
gal and abundant proof of the operationsaths.
passwords and purposes of the order has been
obtained, and will be published at tho proper
time. . -
Mr. A. D. Boileau, the editor of the Phila
delphia Evening Journal was arrested on Tues
day of last week for uttering treasonable arti
cles. The arrest created quite a flutter among
the sympathisers generally;
Wo see it stated that the Ponu'a Reserves
corps is to bo recalled from active service and
placed in tho fortifications at Washing-tot) .
THE PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
la tbi Sejiate, on January 26th, a joint
resolution was offered, instructing our mem
bers in Congress to vote aginst an appropria
tion to construct a ship canal in Illinois, or
against an enlargement of the New York and
Erie canal, at the expense of the National
Government. Also a bill authorizing the pay
ment of a bounty to the nine months soldiers
by the Commonwealth. Ia the IIouse, a pe
tition was presented from the citizens in Bea
ver county to validate the acts of the County
Commissioners of said county in paying boun
ties to volunteers, aud a bill to that effect was
Also introduced. Also a bill relative to the
payment of the State militia, out of moneys in
the State Treasury, leaviug the question of
the liability of the United States fur siid pay
ment, to be adjusted hereafter by the proper
authorities.
lit the Sejiate, on the 27th a bill was pas
sed changing the venue from Beaver to Fa
yette county, in the case of Mrs. Berkr and
her family, indicted in Beaver on the charge
of concealing the murder of Sheets. In the
House, a bill was offered in reference to the
payment of the interest on the State debt
thai the State Treasurer should pay said inter
est in legal tender notes of tho United States
without any deduction.'
Ijc the senate, on the 28th, Mr. Wallace in
troduced a further supplement to the act es
tablishing a system of free banking in Penn
sylvania. In the House, a joint resolution
was offered requesting the Governor to com
muuicate all information in relation to the
proceedings for tho military draft j how many
were enrolled, draf tod, substituted, or exemp
ted in each county, or mustered into the mili
tary service of the United States ; how many
deserted, and where the mustered soldiers
now are, so far as he knows, together with the
names of all tho commissioned and other offi
cers employed about the draft ; the amount
paid to such, and tho whole exponses inciden
tal thereto. The Senate bill, changing the
venue from Beaver to Fayette county, was
passed by the Ilouse.
WHAT BECOMES OF THE CHANGE 1
The Lancaster Express says, "this question
so often asked and so seldom satisfactorily
answered, we are now prepared to answer be
yond cavil at least to the amount of about fifty
thousand dollars." The Express then goes on
to give an account of the death of an old bach
elor, named A. Hershey, who died recently in
West Hemptield township, Lancaster county,
and says that "the heirs of the deceased, in
overhauling bis effects, discovered, stowed a
way in match-boxes, night-caps, old stockings
and ail sorts of queer repositories" a large a
mount of gold and silver. The heirs employ
ed several carriages to convey the treasure to
the Lancaster Co'y Bank, where it was invoic
ed, and foots up as follows : Gold, $30,054 91;
Silver, $13,325 77; Bank notes, $3,026 52,
total, $16,507 20. lie had also bonds, notes,
ect., amounting to $8,059 51, and owned a
farm valued at fifteen thousand dollars. The
deceased was a miserly old fellow, and instead
of making use of his money stowed it away
not even being willing to trust the banks with
its safekeeping. The specie stowed away
consisted of all denominations from $50 gold
pieces down to nickels, and of American, En
glish, Spanish, French, German, and other
foreign coins.
It would be interesting to know how many
more thousands are hid away in the country
in a like manner, and that, too, by people who
"have no change" when you offer them a bank
note in payment.
TEE A SON WARMLY DENOUNCED.
MuRr reesboro, Jan. 23. A meeting of offi
cers of about all the Indiana regiments in this
army was held to-day, and strong resolutions
were adopted unanimously, denouncing the
disloyal course of the butternuts of the Indiana
Legislature; also complimenting Gov. Morton
for his energy and patriotism, declaring that
the Union shall be preserved unconditionally,
and that the soldiers of Indiana will devote
their means and their lives to the Union.
The resolutions have been drawn by Col. Hun,
ter, of the 82d Indiana regiment, a democrat j
who, with Col. Goodin, of 22d Indiana, and
other prominent Democrats, made violent
speeches, denouncing treason in the Indiana
Legislature and at the North. They also
pledged themselves that there is not an Indi
ana soldier whose garments were wetted on
the field of battle who will not endorse the
resolutions, and who will cot fight the enemies
of tho Union, North and South, to the death.
The resolutions will be acted upon-by each
regiment, and forwarded, through a committee
of officers, to the Indiana Legislature. Col.
Goodin denounced the Indiana butternuts as
damned ratals.
The Andersox Cavalry Released. We
havo the gratifying intelligence, from Nash
ville, that the mutinous portion of the Ander
son Cavalry, who were arrested for disobedi
ence to orders in refusing to go into the battle
of Murfreesboro, have been restored to favor
by their commanding General, aud are releas
ed from arrest. It is not stated by what mean
this result was effected, but the announcement
comes from a trustworthy and reliable source.
They have not only been released, but direct
ed to elect proper officers for themselves, after
which they will form a part of the body guard
of Gen. Rosocrans!
It is stated on good authority that the ac
tual amount of gold taken from the soil cf
Colorado during the past year reaches tha
value of $6,000,000, and it is estimated that
the inines now being worked wiU produce over
$12,000,000 during the present year. The
mining is abnost ail quartz ruining, and re
quires heavy machinery.
A correspondent writing from Fayetteville,
Arkansas, sends an Interesting batch of inter
cepted rebel dispatches, which show that
Hindman's army is in destitution, and Arkan
sas almost lost to the Rebels.
CONGRESSIONAL PEOCEEDINGS.
In the Senate, on January 28th, the Post
Office Committee reported back the Postal
Money-Order bill, recommending that it do
not pass. A long bill regulating the Post-Of
flee Department was' reported. The bill to
regnlate the appointment of midshipmen was
reported with amendments. Mr. Clark offered
a resolution expelling Senator Saulsbury for
bis gross conduct on Tuesday night; it was
laid over. A resolution was adopted inquiring
into the propriety of extending relief to
Thomas of Maryland, "the French lady," now
in Fort Lafayette, insane. The resolution rel
ative to appointment of midshipmen in the
Naval Academy was passed. A bill to encour
age enlistments was referred. The Army Ap
propriation bi 51 was taken up ; an amendment
giving $886,000 to establish an ordnaoce de
pot on New-York harbor was lost ; an amend
ment was adopted providing that no money
shall be paid to any officer or assumed officer
not autborixed by existing law, unless such
officers shall subsequently be sanctioned, nor
to any person appointed during tho recess ol
the Senate, where such vacancy existed before
the recess, and was required to be filled by and
with the advice of the Senate, until such ap
pomtee shall have been confirmed. The bill
was then passed. In the House the whole
day was devoted to Mr. Stevens's bill to em
ploy negroes as soldiers. It was moved to re
for it to the Military Comittee, but the House
relused Teas 32, Nays 103; to lay on the
table lost, Yeas 59, Nays 84. The Demo
crats resorted to the most determined fillibus
tering to stave off action. Calls for the House
and frivolous motions were made to waste
time, and up to 111 p. m. the main vote had
not been takn.
In the Senate, on Jan. 29th, Mr. Saulsbury
apologized for his conduct on Tuesday even
ing and the resolution for his expulsion was
not called up. The bill to aid Emancipation
in Missouri was taken up, and Mr. Henderson
of that State moved to amend bo that if Eman
cipation was immediate, $20,000,000 should
be paid, but it was gradual, $10,000,000 should
be paid. Mr. Wilson, of Mo., said $20,000,
000 was not enough forgradual emancipation.
Mr. Wilson, (Mass.) was not willing to give
$20,000,000 to hold men in Slavery 13 years
longer. He was willing to make a general
appropriation to West Virginia, Missouri, Del
aware, and Maryland. Mr. Fessendon thought
the rate of $300 per slave too high. Mr. Hen
derson, of Missouri, very strongly urged the
adoption of the bill ; he was not strenuous for
sudden or gradual emancipation : but he wan
ted one or the other at once. His speech was
especially earnest and patriotic. Mr. Trum
bull advocated the bill, contending that the
Government stood pledged to aid the States
in gradual emancipation. Mr. Foster favored
the measue. After remarks by Mr. Wilson
and Mr. Pomroy, the Senate adjourned. In
the House, the Committee on Agriculture was
instructed to inquire into expediency of collect
ing agricultural statistics through theAssessors
of the Internal Revenue ; also as to sending a
representative to the Agricultural Exhibition
at Hamburg in July. The Ways and Means
Committee are to inquire what measures are
necessary to prevent speculation in gold. The
bill to raise and arm negro soldiers was then
taken up, and discussed during the entire ses
sion, without coming to a vote.
Escape of Capt. Palmer. The Philadel
phia Press says : Captain Palmer, of the An
derson cavalry, has effected his escape from
the dominions of Jefferson Davis, of which he
has been an unwilling inhabitant for more than
four months. He had some curious advent
ures during his protracted stay in the South
ern States, but ia obliged to keep secret both
the manner of escape and the places he visi
ted in the South, in order that friends there
who aided him, may not be compromised by
publicity. He says the prisons of the Confed
erates are fillod with East Tennesseeans and
Union citizens of other States, some ol whom,
old grayhaired men, have been incarcerated
for "harboring conscripts" the offence being
that they did not turn from their doors their
own sons, who had refused to enter tho rebel
ranks. Captain Palmer is as hopeful of the
good cause as he was before he visited the
South, and thinks tho evidence of a break
down in Northern war sentiment, which tho
rebels are now gloating over, is tho only thing
that has kept their hopes alive since their dis
astrous invasion of Maryland. -
From the South. Tho Richmond Exami
ner, of tho 27th January, has two notable edi
torials one in reference to peace rumors and
the stories told at Richmond of disorganiza
tion in the North. These rumors say that
Northern finances are in inextricable confu
sion ; Gov. Seymour is as good a Southerner
as Toombs ; New York City wants Jeff. Davis
tor its President ; that Wall and Parker of
New Jersey are in accord with McCIellan, who
meditate& fearful schemes against the Aboli
tionists ; th'at tho North West is ripe for rev
olution, thearmies going to mutiny as soon as
they get their pay, &c. The editor opposes
to all these bright visions the fact that the fall
of Arkansas Post is a terrible blow, putting a
heavy balance of prisoners on the Union side
and deranging Davis's nice plan of hanging
officers; that Arkansas is open to the Union
arms ; that Bragg's army is overworked while
Rosecrans is heavily reinforced ; that there is
trouble and danger on the seaboard, and a
gloomy viow all around. The Confederate
Congress is discussing plans for peace ; if they
could get rid of New England all won Id work
smoothly. - .
It is said that Gen. Burnside tendered the
President nis resignation last week, but that
the President declined receiving it, saying
that he had work for him. Gen. Burnside
said he was ready for work, but be did not
like to wear tho stars and draw pay pf a Major-
General in idleness.
The British Stoamtbin Risincr Dawn, with
valuable Cargo, was captured on the 10th Jan
uary, wmist trying to get into Charleston.
LIFTING THE CUETAlN.
F. W. Hughes, Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, has published a card to his
friends in Pennsylvania, which shows plainly
that the object for which he and his clique
are working is to divide the Union to cutoff
the New England States and then lay the
shattered and disbonered fragments at the feet
of the rebels, crush out Freedom, and make
slavery supreme. In order that our readers
may judge of the spirit of th "card" for
themselves, we append it entire;
A Card from F. W. Hughes. "
To my Democratic Friends in Pennsylvania
The sympathy en listed, in my behalf, be
cause of the Abolition persection through
which I have passed, and my known views in
regard to the future of our afflicted and mis
governed country has evoked expressions of
regret for my defeat in the recent contest for
United States Senator. Let me assure you
that you have but little occasion for any regret
on that account, but great cause for congratula
tion that a gentleman of such surpassing abili
ty and sound Constitutional and State Rights
views as the Hon. Charles R. Buckalew
has been selected. I have had comparatively
little other feeling or anxiety on the subject
of my election than that perhaps I might, in
the position sought, be the humble instrument,
under Providence, in serving my native State
and our common country.
1 believe that God has engraven on the face
of this Western Continent, so legibly that all
should read it, that the territory from the
mouth of the Mississippi to the headwaters of
its tributaries, as well as such as flank this
space and afford outlets to the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, must be forever governed so as
to confer on every part free commercial inter
course throughout the who!e,and unobstructed
navigation of its inland waters. So too, such
country should always be provided with means
for the common defence, and " to promote the
general welfare."
The Union as it was and the Constitution as
it is, would best accomplish all this, if Abo
litiouism would permit.
While our national glory would be best pro
moted by the preservation of our present po
litical relations to the New England States,
yet if they will insist upon the destruction of
the Union by the subjugation of the Southern
States, or by their separation from them, I am
ready to yield to the latter rather than to the
former of such alternatives. The New Eng
land States constitute the seat where the doc
trine of secession was first asserted, they are
the hot-bed in which has been propagated all
the heresies that bave produced national dis
order they are our rivals in commerce and
and manufactures, and the sacrifice of submit
ting to their separatin from us would be much
less than that of our separation from the great
South and West. It is impossible for the
Western States ever to permit the control of
the mouth of the Mississippi to be lodged in the
hands of an independent government. Their
destiny is inexorably linked with free transit
through the great inland navigable waters that
river and its tributaries afford. The future
prosperity of Pennsylvania is alike dependent
on her connection with the great West.
Without professing to speak or to know the
views of Mr. Buckalew on these points, yet
my confidence in bis devoted patriotism and
comprehensive statesmanship gives mo assu
rance that be does not essentially differ from
those above stated. I am sure be agrees with
me that the measure and policy now directed
by Abraham Lincoln, more than any other,
have brought us to our impending ruin. Ho
has the ability to present in the Senate of the
United States, the solemn protest of Pennsyl
vania against these measures and policy, and
I trust thecourage and energy to see that such
prorest is not in vain.
There is yet abundant work for the true men
of Pennsylvania to do, to protect her true in
terest and her political and natural bonds. To
this good work I shall, as heretofore, de
voted my bumble efforts. F. W. Huohes.
