THEWAE HEWS.
Mississippi Flotiila. 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

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.
