On Friday the 13th. the Monitor gunboat Indianola run the block, sde at Vicksbnrg, In spite of the precaution taken, the rebels discovered the Indianola, and the various batteries, vied with each other tn their efforts to sink the gunboat. She, however, passed down safely. The Indianola carries two big guns in a turret is new, meas ures 442 tons, and was built at Cincinnati. On Saturday night, the 14th, a barge contain seven thousand bushels ot coal ran the blockade without discovery or accident reaching our ganboats within a few minutes ot the time calculated on. The town of Balivar, fifty miles above Memphis, has been destroyed by the gunboat Connestoga, in retaliation for the guerrillas firing on the steamer Jenny Lind. The Queen of the West, it is said, has gone up the Ked river for the purpose of destroying some rebel vessel, which will cut off a chief aourse of rebels supplies. . Col. Ellet of. the Queen has succeeded in making the following captures: The rebel sidewheel steamer A. W. Barker, just from Fort lludson, where she discharged a cargo and was returning to Red River for another. As the Queen neared her several rebel officers jumped into the water and escaped the other, five captains and lieutenants, and a party of civillians were cap-tun-d. Col. Ellet having placed a guard on the Barker, he perceived another boat coming down the river, which proved to bo the Mora a shot across her bow brought her to. She was laden with ,110,000. pounds of pork, early 500 hogs, and a large quantity of salt, fur the rebels at Port lludson. He also cap tured the Berwick Bay, with 200 barrels of molasses, 2 hogsheads of sugar, 30,000 ponnda ot flour, and 40 bales of cotton on board, and on her way to Port Hudson. At Island No. 10, the steamers Rorrea, White Cloud and Knapp, were seized by the gunboat New Era as prizes they having on board large quantities of quinine and morphine, arms, rebel uniforms, army blankets, and other contraband mercba dise, and a large rebel mail containipg im portant information. Fkom the Rappahaxsoc. A contraband traffic has for a long time been carried on be tween the rebels in Maryland and Virginia crossing the Potomac near the extremity of the Peninsula. Two expeditions returned on the l&th, which succeeded in breaking up these avennes of support and information. Several vessels used in conveying supplies, and a large quantity of provisions were captu red and destroyed. A number of horses and males, two large rebel mails, several citizens engaged in smnggling,some rebel soldiers, and a rebel signal officer stationed to report the movements of the vessels on the Potomac, were also captured. Nashville. An immense quantity of coal has arrived at this place five barges for Gov ernment use, and 100,000 bushels on consign ment to one bouse. On the 15th a party of the 2d Minnesota, of Stcdman's brigade, camped near Nolinsville, had a severe skirm ish with two companies of Forrest's men in which five rebels were killed and five wound ed and captured. Immense supplies are con stantly going forward to the army. The Staxdard or Boter. The Lancaster Evening Express thus hits off the incorruptible Boyer, by the relation oi an incident which it says occurred between one of the officers in the Senate and Dr. Boyer. Couldn't Trtut Him The other day the renowned T. Jeff. Boyer, the member of the Legislature, whose political virtue claims to have rejected a bribe of $20,000 far voting for Simon Cameron, applied to one of the officers of the Senate for a few qnires of a certain kind of paper, of a better quality than is furnished the House. Tho officer said he had no au thority to give it. T. J. B. suggested that it was a mere trifle, and nobody would know it but themselves. Oh, no replied the officer, I can't trust you, for you might blow on me as vou did on Gen.' Cameron ! The virtuous member retired, a wiser if not a better man." A BiactiIcl Remark, Tbclt. On Thnrs day, during tbe fire at Hon. J. H. Campbell's .residence, one citizen inquired of another on Centre street where tbe fire waa. Tbe reply was, Mr, Campbell's house. A rebel sympathi zer who was standing near, then interrupted tbe conversation by exclaiming, "I am glad of it ; it'a all right ; the d d bouse ought to burn down." This is the. same fellow who at tbe time of the draft said that if he was draft ed, be would sooner go Soath and fight for , them than for the Union. Tho black-hearted- nest of the copperheads is fully exemplified inthes0 incidents. Pottstille Miner' Journal. The Jamaica Watekwian, of Jan. 29th, says that the merchant who applauded Captain Semmes'a speech at tbe Exchange in Kings- : ton, were mainly mulattos, some .of whose parents were made free by the emancipation act ot 1838. It closes an article 0 the sub ject as follows : r . :'. V. . "We have somethinjr to say on this matter, with reference to tbe mulatto merchant's conduct, who many in tbe United States do pot know, except by the advertisement which ' appears dally in tbe city papers, signed Da vidson, Coltbirst & Co." We Intend to deal with these negro mulattoea as we find them, for many a colored man in Jamaica forgets tbe pit from wbicb fce was dug." N0ETHERW MISSISSIPPI AWD ALABAMA . .; Horrible Atrocities on Union Men. Tbe most perfect reign or terror the world ever saw is now being experienced by tbe un fortunate residents of Northern Mississippi and Alabama. In Misissippi tbe Legislature recently passed a law embracing all conscript men not included in tbe act ot Jeff Davis, which included all between the ages of 18 and 40 years. The recent law takes all between 40 aud 60 years. Mississippi is laid oft into districts of twenty miles, and a recruiting Colo nel appointed for each district, to enforce the conscript act. In North Alabama it is even worse. There are many Union men in that section of tbe State, and millions of property belonging to them. The efforts to force them into the Cofederate ranks has driven hundreds ot them to tbe woods, where they continue to hide and suffer rather than be taken a a con scripts. This induced a novel bunt for them Guerillas and bloodhounds have been put up on their track, and many a poor victim has been smelt out in this way. Not long since, a young girl, carrying food to her father, who was hiding in a cave, was attacked by one ot these bloodhounds and torn to pieces. Abra ham Kennedy and J. A. Mitchell, of llackett and Bod settlement, Monroe county, have been hung by the rebels for indulging in TJ nion proclivities. Mr. Hall Mark and daugh ter, of Lane county, have been shot, and the latter killed. Peter Lewis, an immediate neighbor, and suspected of Union proclivities, was hunted down by bloodhounds and captur ed. Mr. Peterson, living at tbe bead of Bull Mountain, was killed for Union sentiments. Two women, in Itawimain county, wore torn to pieces by bloodhounds. . The houses of J. A. Palmer, Wesley Williams, and other 17 nion men, were burned over their families' heads, and tho people living in the neighbor hood notified that, if they harbored them, their own houses would be burned. Such is tbe reign of terror prevailing in tbe rebel States at present. Hundreds of families, driven out of Mississippi and Alabama, have made their way to Corinth on foot, without food or clothing some of them are eighty years of age. Gen. Dodge made all possible provision for them. Gen. Dodge has also sent out and brought in families of persecuted and downtrodden Union men, and has established an encampment or home for their families at Purdy, where they are likely to be free from persecution. At Corinth, a regimont is form ing of Union men from Alabama and Missis sippisix companies being already full.Capt. J. C.Cameron, the-Provost Marshall of Cor inth district, is to be tbe Colonel ot the regiment. EXCITEMENT IS KENTUCKY. On the I8th, rebel sympathising Delegates from forty conntiea in Kentucky, assembled at Frankford for the ostensible purpose of ma king nominations for the August elections. The House of Representatives, by a decided vote having, refused them the use of the hall,' they' rented the theatre. While the Conven tion was organizing, a regiment of soldiers, with fixed bayonets, formed in front of tbe theatre When the roll of counties wasabont to be called, Col. Gilbert caused to be read tbe following order: "Reliable information having been received at the these headquarters that a number of rebel spies and emissaries are in tbe city, it is ordered -that all persons now here not resi dents, or members of tbe Legislature, or offi cers of tbe State Government, shall forthwith leave their names at these headquarters, ac companied with satisfactory references as to their loyalty to the Government." - Colonel Gilbert then took the stand and said, "that to faciliate the proceedings and savo the Convention trouble, be, with bia ad jutant, would take tho names of the delegates as way were cauea. mere are those here who are known to be rebela of tbe worst kind. Under the disguise of tbe name ot Democrats you have assembled here with the hope to perfect your designs, but it will not do. Re pudiated by tbe Legislature, who have refused yeu the use of their ball, and ibe Democratic newspapers scorn and disown you, there is no use of your holding Conventions in Kentucky. None but men ot undoubted loyalty to the Government will be allowed to run for any office. Such meetings as this you shall not bold within the limits of my command, and to avoid difficulty you will disperse to your homes, and in future desist from all such at tempts to precipitate civil war upon your State." After Col. Gilbert had spoken an effort was made to offer resolutions, which were respect fully declined by Col. Gilbert. The body then adjourned. Some excite ment prevailed in the city, but no noise. A TBUE SOLDIEB'S LETIEE. The following extract ia from a latter from a soldier in Beams's N.J. Battery. Its tone oi uncompromising loyalty and cheerfulness ia commended to those who have labored so diligently to convince the people that the ar my is discouraged and demoralized : "I have been sorry to observe, in some of tne puDtisnea letters from soldiers and chap lains, a discouraged, fault-finding spirit; this ought not to be ; it encourages the secesb, and gives them reason to hold up their heads. A true patriot, with the love of country glow ing in bia bosom, will not allow bis mind to dwell upon the nps and downs and reverses which be may meet with, much less will he give expression to angbt of such a nature. I have faith in the Lord, that he will bring us all right yet. Father thinks there will not be much more fighting. I think the rebels will fight to a man ; we will have aa desperate fighting as we ever have bad, when we are called to tho battle-field. 1 shall try to do my whole duty like a true soldier every time. I have bees tinder fire, and prayed tbe Lord to help me to do my duty, and be baa helped me to do it. - X think we bad just as hot work on the Peninsula as we did at Fredericksburg. What we called picket firing there, would, in the Revolutionary War, be called a battle. I am willing to go through what I bave gone through, again, for the old Flag. . I want to see it wave once more over the land of the free and the home of the brave. I trust all will strive to do their utmost to encourage the toldier in bis duty, and do all to enable ns to triumph over our foes at last." ...... i . .r - Ex-Governor Sherman Baldwin, died at New Haven, Conn., on tbe 18th , aged 70 yer. He was a grandson of Roger Sherman. C0BBKSP0NDEXCE OF THE "JOTEN AL " Headquarters 1st Martlaxe Cavalry, I Stafford C. House Va., Feb. IS, 1863. J Dear Row : I yesterday visited a host of PennsylvaDiaos in the vicinity of Falraotb whom I found comfortably quartered in good wigwams of their own construction, with plen ty of grub, blankets, etc. They all seem in good spirits, and are ready for another fray wben fighting Joe gets ready to try his Tiand. During tbe day I rode down to tLe river one bank of which is lined with blue breeches, and the other with gray backs,witbin a stone's throw of each other. Men, on either bank, could be sewn reading papers as unconcerned ly as if no enemy were within ten miles. Tbe position I occupied, furnished a splendid view of the recent battle ground with its miles of rifle-pits, chains of forts, and stone walls used by the rebels for breast-works. Our brave men wrested many of these from the enemy, by driving them back from the first tier thro' the town to the second, and from their second chain of fortifications to the third ; but the third proved to their overtaxed natures too hard a nutto be cracked. Tbey had gained much ground, had whipped and driven back the enemy, but at what cost ? The desimated ranks of the Penn'a Regiments I visited, too plainly told the expense of the partial advan tage gained. Tbe brave old Penn'a Reserves corps, the gallant 105th, tbe invincible old 57th, the noble 62d, and many others, pre sent but a sorry Appearance now to their for mer proud and invincible selves yet every man left is, and feels himself a hero. While I stood contemplating that blood stained field and thinking of the many tears that bad been shed the many hopes crushed, and bow much suffering Lad been endured, my revery was suddenly broken by a gray back calling from the opposite side to a lad who sat near me engaged in reading a paper, 'I say, Blue breeches, what is the news from Yankeedom ?" "Not very much ; except un der tbe head of Southern news, it is said that while one species of gray backs begin to grow weak in the knees and faint-hearted1? down a bout Richmond, the other kind Is Just filling up their regiments without resorting to con scription ; and, judging from tbe manner they pitch in, they intend to prey upon poor hu manity so long as there is any flesh upon his bones." A pause. "When, does your paper say, tbe war is going to end, Gray back ?" "Why, next summer, when Jeff moves into the White House at Washington." Where upon, Tank exclaimed "by gracious ! Gabri el's trump will toot taps before Jeff makes that move." Here, both settled back into their former easy positions, and were soon en gaged with tbe contents of their respective papers. The army is being fast spirited away from this vicinity, but where it goes I have met none who pretend to know. Tours, c. e. l. Alexandria,' Va., Feb. 17. 1863.' Mr. Row: One of tbe boys showed me what was called "a Soldiers letter," in tbe Clearfield Republican, to Gen. Patton. I dont like it. If ever a soldier wrote it, be wasn't much of a Union man. He thinks we are wrong and the rebels about right. That's just the kind of talk that brought on the war. The rebels thought tbe North would be divi ded and would back down, and give 'em ali they asked. But they got "sucked in," didn't tbey 1 If that soldier likes tbem so well I think he'd better go down and fight for them if he isn't too "goose livered" to fight at all. I don't pretend to be much of a chap to argue, but I think if we hadn't had any slavery and Slavebolding politicians, we shouldn't bave had any war. And I think tbe quicker slavery is wiped out, tooth and toe nail, the quicker we'll have a lasting peace. It looks to me reasonable, that 'tis no nse warring on the re bellion nnless we get a lick at tbe cause of tbe rebellion ; and that's slavery, and toadying to it. I am willing to give the South all their rights, but I ain't willing to give 'em ours as that fellow is I'd fight to the last man first. And I believe in making the nigger help us all he can. He says they are lazy and good for nothing. Why shouldn't thay be, when they are kept in bondage and ignorance all their lives, and despised. Wouldn't we white folks be so too in such a case ? I tell you what it never did look right to me to see these big, stont, healthy fellows laying round idle and not allowed to go into the army, when we have to enlist and be drafted and dig and do all the drudgery that they are just fit for. If "the war is on their account," why not let them help if tbey are willing; and if not make tbem help carry it on. They, can dig and drive team and cut wood and wait on the sick (and do all that work which takes half the army to do) just as well or better than we. I tell you, when I see our boys digging and growing pale and fairly dying in tbe trenches, and see these big, brawny blacks lying round in tbe shade, I feel half mad. And, if it must be, I believe they will fight a good deal better than ihat fellow says he can And why should we care who licks the rebels if they are only licked right savage I I dont. Haven't they done right well under Gen. Hunter and Col. Higgins,and in everyplace where they give . 'em a chance and treat 'em balf decent 1 ; But, I commenced to talk about what that fellow says of Gen. Patton. Ho kinder in sinuates that the General don't go to the hos pitals. I tell yon that ain't so, and I know it ! He does go to tbe hospitals, and he does work for the boys, when they are well and when : they are sick. If any Congressman should be called the soldiers' Friend, ita Gen eral Patton and tbe boys all say so. He comes down bere and goes to the Convales cent camp, every little while, and don't send somebody else like a good many Congress men, but goes bimseif and sees that it is done. There ain't a man we boys here like to see so well as him, because we know there will be something done besides making promises.- I didn't rote for bim, though in bis district, Mr. Row, but if be was a candidate again I'd give bim a hundred votes, ifl bad them. His working for ns and travelling in. the mud, when he isn't a candidate and don't expect to be. is what makes us boys think he feels for ns, and i in earnest. I'm sorry he isn't going to be our Congressman any longer. I have heard a good many soldiers, not in our Wild cat district, say tbey wrote to bim, because be was popular in Congress and sure to help them. One told me, when they were brought up from the Fredericksburg battle so many of them wounded, and lying on the wharf at Washington waiting for beip'J that only two Congressmen were there early in the morning, and one of them was Gen. Patton. I don't think it right to insinuate that he don't go to sue us, when I know better. Hundreds of us bave seen bim in the hospitals all ronnd, . and because one fellow (who thinks we are all wrong and the rebels all right) didn't see him, don't make his story true, if he ever said it as it was printed. Now, Mr. Row, I want you to print this and correct mistakes, for I think the General ought not to be misrepresented by a man who thinks the Union cause wrong and the Rebels nearly right. Your friend for the Union, Wild cat Volunteer. IIeadqcarters, Com'y E, 172d Pa. Militia, Yorktown Va., Feb. 15tb, 18G3. f Editor of the Raftsman's Journal : Dear Sir : We often receive a newspaper in our camp called the "Clearfield Republican," ed ited by one Goodlander. As n general thing it is not read by many of the company. , We are just in receipt of the number in which is published Dr. T. J. Boyer's statement of his affair with Gen. Cameron. That letter has been read somewhat extensively in the com pany, and the only impression made by it is, that of Dr. Boyer's own guilt and duplicity in the affair. The hand mouey, we all thiok, would have forever sealed his mouth on that subject. We are somewhat acquainted with the sentiments ot Dr. B., (as well as with those of Dr. Early, his chief counsellor). We are aware of hi3 hostility to every effort of the Government to ciush out this rebellion, and of bis endorsing the treasonable resolutions dished up at St. Mary's. . When men place themselves before the pubiio as the exposers of guilt, and Judas like the acknowledged ac complices in the plot, and when published in such a sheet as the "Republican," can we look with any degree of truthfulness upon th statement ? ' We, here in camp, have yet to see from those men, and that paper, the first sentiment of sympathy for the cause which we have espoused. We have yet to see the first paper that has not tried to weaken the hands of tbe Administration iu its efforts to save the Government. We bave yet to see the first paper that has said aught against the rebellion. And therefore, from the evidence before us, we pronounce it as imbued with treasonable proclivities, as well as the per sons above alluded to. Could those men have been present here this morning, when that sheet was read, their knees would have quak ed with terror. The perusal of such senti ments are only a prelude to denunciation. With the exception of Gen. Butler's pro ceedingsthe operations, to some extent, in the west and the emancipation proclamation, this war has been ponducted according to Democratic dictation ; and pursuing that course we have reaped defeat and death. We soldiers are tired of this "touch-me-not" pol icy. We look at tbe Democratic "conduct of the war, that has covered Virginia with our dead and our arms with defeat, somewhat in this light: Charleston, tbe hot-bed of seces sion is environed with our troops we plant our guns to destroy it amidst danger and suf fering and death and as we are about to pour out our just rage upon it in the shape of shot and shell, the Democracy of the North are heard to howl, "Beware ! there is a Union man in tbe city, perhaps, and you will destroy his property or his negro, and that would be unconstitutional ; and therefore, we will have no part in the proceedings" and there they stand with folded hands, and with Rebel sym pathy and Union discouragement in their mouths, while treason builds its batteries in our sight and cuts our throats and. strength ensits coils. They suggest no remedy, and we feel they are planning the destruction of our army and the ruin of our country. And we will here add, that we shall not all leave our bones in Virginia, thoughwilling to do so in defence of our country. Some portions of these great armies will return to their homes. They are patriots, and so are their friends and relatives; and whatever may be the issue of this dark period in our country's history, the sympathisers with this rebellion and their children's children will be pointed out with more than an Arnold's treason burning upon their brows. In conclusion we would suggest, that, per haps, those persons, who are always harping upon negro equality, are fearful of negro in tellect coming in competition with their own at least, were we in their position and en tertaining the sentiments they do, we should not think it very unjust to be regarded in that light. Mr. editor, we ask you to publish this for the sake of our country, and the helping, as far as it may go, to put down treason in the north. Please send ns your paper, as we can assure you that it will be read with eagerness by all the company. Mast Members op Co. E, I72d P. M. Rebel Prisorers.
