r SAMUEL J. BOW.
' CLEARFIELD. PA., MARCH 11, 1863.
THE C0PPEKHEAD3 AND A1TDY JOHNSON.
By reference to the proceedings of the Penn
sylvania Legislature on Friday the 6th day of
March, which we print in another column of
to-day 't Journal, the reader will learn that the
democratic merabera of that body, "by their
votes, refused To allow the use of the Legis
lative Halls to Gov. Andrew Johnson of Ten
nessee, and ex-Governor Wright of Indiana,
for tbo purpose of addressing the loyal citi
zens of Pennsylvania. Tho Harrisburg Telt
graph, in commenting upon tho vote in the
House, says :
"On a motion to tender the use of the hall
of the Ilonse to Governor Andy Johnson, of
Tennessee, and Governor Wright, of Indiana,
who arrived here yesterday, for the purpose
of addressing the people, it was refused by a
strict parly vole. Those voting against this
resolution were prompted to ref use the Iioue
to Govs. Jobuson and Wright simply because
they are loyal men one, a loyal man whose
wife has been scourged by the rebels in con
sequence of the fidelity of her husband to the
National Government whose home has been
devastated whose children have been hunted
down by the bloodhonnds of Jeff Davis and
who has himself stood up for the Union and
the Government, as it wore, with a halter a
bout his neck. Yet the Democratic members
of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives
refuse this heroic man a hearing in-the'Capi-tol.
They refuse to hear Andy Johnson, not
because he has ever been aught but a Demo
crat not because he is directly or indirectly
acting with the Republican party, but simply
because be joins his own loyalty with that ol
Republicans and Democrats, who are loyal
against the fiendisjiness of. rebellion and the
enormity of treason. Thoy refuse him a hear
ing, because they fear that he would make the
occasion an opportunity to rebnke treason in
Pennsylvania rebuke it as it is manifested
n the very floor of that House."
The Democrats of the Senate also opposed
the resolution granting the nse of the Senate
chamber to these distinguiscd gentlemen.
William A. Wallace, the Senator from this
district, voted against the resolution. Here
we have a practical demonstration of what tbo
"Copperhead" Democracy mean by "Free
Speech and Freedom of the Press," of which
we hear ao much of late. They favor "free
speech and freedom of the Press," so long as
men will preach treason, or print treason. But
when loyal men desire to speak a word in fa
vor Of ' the Union and its perpetuation, then
they nse every means at their command to sti
flo the voice of freedom. ; This refusal to open
the'doors of the State Capitol did not, bow
ever, prevent these patriots from addressing
the people of Harrisburg the use of the
Court room having been granted them for that
purpose. Let the loyal voters of Pennsylva
nia remember that the copptrhead Democra
cy in the Pennsylvania Legislature refused to
allow two of the Government's bravest defen
ders the privilege of speaking in the State
Legislative Halls Democrats, whom it is said
"Jackson loved to honor." Verily, modern
Democracy is a queer institution.
THE THIRTY -SEVENTH CONGRESS.
This body ended its labors on Wednesday,
March 4th, 1863; on which day its term ex
pired. A cotemporary, in noticing its close,
Makes the following reference to tho immense
duties which devolved upon it, and the im
portmce of the work which it had to perform :
"This Congress had responsibilities and dif
ficulties to meet and grapple with far, far be
yond what fell to the lot of any of its prede
cessors, anil most faithfully have they been
met. When it first assernbled-on the fourth
of Jaly, 1861, It found the Government well
righ wrecked, its coffers etupty, . everything
deranged, and the boom of rebel cannon sha
king the very capital. The arras of the coun
try had been put into the haDds of traitors by
a traitorous Secretary of War ; the navy scat
tered and rondored inoperative by another ;
and nothing but the indomitable spirit of the
people was left upon which to fall back. But
calmly and resolutely were all these appalling
difficulties met and overcome by the Presi
dent and Congress, and tho country rose from
weakness and disorder to both military and
financial strength beyond a parallel in history.
Whatever disasters befell us in the field, and
full as the civil and military service were of
traitors,' the country rested in full trnst upon
the majority in' Congress, and measure alter
measure was enacted, as the terrible exigen
cies of the war required, and great questions
of permanent policy, both foreign and domes
tic were established ; and when its term closed
yesterday, (Wednesday) it could say of its
work what can' rarely be said by human agents,
it is rxsisHEE." .Nothing essential was left
nndone to render the Government as strong,
and secure, and unembarrassed as it was in
human power to make it." - .
Such, in the estimation of our cotemporary
above quoted, wore the onerous and important
duties of the Congress just ended, and in
whose behalf the "Copperhead" organ of this
place, last week, offered the following prayer :
- "Goo be Praiskd That the infamous 37th
Congress expires this day, (March 4th.) May
we never look npon their like again."
A very patriotic Sentiment, indeed, ia be
half of loyal men, is This latter quotation ; and
that, too, from a paper which makes very load
profusions to loyalty--and, - perhaps, just
such a prayer as- Jefl Davis offered up on the
same occasion. But, be this as it may, and
let treason plot and rage and put forth its
most malignant efforts, yet will the Govern
ment be able to maintain' itself ia deSance of
all its enemies. " " 1 .'-.
It is announced that Gen. Sigle as resign
ed bis commission in the army.
DISAFFECTION ENCOURAGED
We take the following extracts from an edi
torial article, which appeared in the "Copper
head" organ of this place, last week,- under
the heading of "Passage of the Conscription
Bill," etc., which we commend to the careful
perusal of all loyal men :
""The Conscription Bill passed the House in
nearly the same shape in which it came from
the Senate, and has no doubt been signed by
the President and is therefore a law of the
land or as much so as any unconstitutional or
revolutionary act of Congress can be. . . But
the great question is, will the people submit to
this sudden and revolutionary transformation
info a military despotism ? . . We answer they
may, and perhaps should, in those States
where this act is sanctioned by the concurrent
action of their Slate Governments; but with
out such concurrent action on the part of
State Governments, never sever."
Here we have the advice, that unless this
act of Congress be "sanctioned by the concur
rent action of State Governments," the peo
ple of those States should not "submit," no,
"nicer, never, to this sudden and revolutiona
ry transformation Into a military despotism."
This is truly a bold, if not a revolutionary,
proposition one which would result in the
utter destruction of the National Government,
as it would leave it without the authority or
t to means to enforce the Constitution and laws
to maintain its existence. For instance, if
tho present State Legislatures, or States au
thorities, lo sanction, by concurrent action,
this law, and should the Government be in
want of men to crush out the existing rebel
lion, how are those men to be obtained ? Is
it by resistance to the conscript law J We think
not. Was it not a failure to "sanction by con
current action," or a refusal on the part of
South Carolina and other States" to obey tho
Constitution and laws of the National Govern
ment that caused the present conflict ? Thij
being the fact, would resistance to the Con
script act be a less heinous offence than the
armed resistance of Jefl Davis and his host of
assassins ? No ! Then, what is the duty of
all true men who desire to see the National
Government perpetuated ? It is to stand by
it under all circumstances.
Loyal men of Clearfield county, and of
Pennsylvania, be on your guard against the
invidious wiles of your country's enemies.
The foe is a wary one. It has its emmissarles
everywhere, who are endeavoring to deceive
you by false arguments and false issues. To
be forearmed is to be forewarned.
FROM TENNESSEE.
A fight took place at Springfille, about 13
miles South of Franklin, Tenn., between Van
Dorn's rebel command and the Union troops
under Col. Coburn. Five regiments of infan
try, one battery (the 15th Ohio), with the 7th
Pennsylvania and 2d Michigan Cavalry, all un
der command of Col. Coburn, of the 33d In
diana, advanced on Spring Hill on tho 4th
inst. Several spirited skirmishes occurred
during the day, our troops camping four miles
distant. On tho 5th a movement by the rebels
wasapparent.causing some disorder at Thomp
son's Station. Tho rebels suddenly opened
on our men with three batteries, on different
points, and at tho same time they appeared
on each flank in greatly superior numbers. An
unequal conflict . was maintained with great
determination, causing heavy loss on both
sides, but finally resulted unfortunatoly to our
troops, the largest part of the 33d Indiana,
16th Michigan, 22d Wisconsin, and the 85th
Indiaua, with most of their commissioned of
ficers, being captured. Our artillery and cav
alry wore successfully withdrawn. The 129th
Ohio was out, but returned without loss. All
is quiet to day. The rebel? have fallen back.
Thoirforce was infantry, with heavier artillery
than we had. Gen. Gilbert's non-action and
failure to reinforce Col. Coburn is severely
censured by officers and men.
On the 2d, "An expedition of one thousand
cavalry, comprising a detachment of the 4th
Regulars, 3d and 1th Ohio and 1st Tennessee
regiments, and one thousand six hundred in
fantry, containing d-tachmonts of the 18th
and 21st Ohio, 19th Illinois and 3d Tennessee
regiment, left Murfresboro and oncountred
the enemy at Brady ville. After severe fight
ing the enemy were driven from the town with
the loss of eight killed and twenty wounded,
and eight privates and nine officers captnred.
There were also captured three hundred new
saddles and a large collection ol official orders
and papers and the private baggage of the en
emy. The enemy engaged was a portion of
John Morgan's division. Our loss in killed
and wounded was about half that of the rebels.
, GEN. BOSECRANS ON DESERTIONS.
The following is a letter sent , by General
Rosccrans to the Governors of the several
States enumerated : . .
"Murfreesboro, Feb. 21. 1863. "To the
Governors of Ohio, Kansas, Minnesota, Pennsyl
vania, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, aud Michigan :
"I think it due to those who suffer in the
field, as well as those who foot the bills at
home and run the risk of being called out to
deiend home and national life, that all deser
ters should be returned to duty. All citizens
are interested in this. Thps who oppose it
favor perjnry and rascality, because a man
who agrees to serve bis country, takes wages
and even bounty money, and violates his oath
of service-by deserting, is a perjurer and a ras
cal, and, probably, a coward. Why should
not the Legislature pass a law disfranchising
and disqualifying from giving evidence all
deserters, as forother infamous crimes 1
Official. , : "W. S. Rosecraxs,
Major General."
"Hehry Stose, Lieut, and A. A. G."
It wilt be seen that the General writes only
to the Governors of those States which fur
nish the sold icrs to his army, and, like a sol
dier, carefully abstains from meddling with
anything more than the concerns of Bis own
command. ,
Is a bad wat some of the small fry "cop
perheads" in this place, because we didn't
publish a certain letter received from W. R, B.
some weeks since, i We will gratify your ca
riosity by allowing you to read - the letter if
you will call at the office especially those
who do not Uke bar paper.' ' ' - -
SUMMARY OF NEWS.
Some of the rebel papers think Mobile im
pregnable and that an army could not land
from transports in l.-ss than 25 days, but the
Petersburg Express thinks that "Yankee en
gineering will find a way to obviate any such
difficulty not long hence"
A number of North Carolina Unionists ral
lied and took refuge in a Quaker chnrch and
defended themselves with arms against rebel
efforts to conscript them killing two and lo
sing two. The rest reached the mountains
safely.
The rebel papers announced a"n attack upon
Fort McAllister by the Union gunboats, sev
eral days since. The rebel steamer Nashville,
lying near the fort, is said to have been de
stroyed by our iron-clads. - '
The Northern Light has reached NeWork
with California mails, passengers, and$I,300,
000 in gold of which $1,000,000 comes to the
U. S. Treasurer. ' " " ' ,:'
Dnring the past week gold declined in New
York 21 cents. It fell from 173 to 152
which created quite a panic ' among the gold
speculators. ' ' ' ' ' : -
A rebel dispafch says that the Yankee fleet
at Port Royal now numbers 123 vessels, in
cluding 3 frigates and 20 gunboats, and 30,
000 men. '
Flour was selling at Petersburg, Va, at
twenty-eight and twenty-nine dollars.
Tho Richmond Dispatch of the 5th, quoted
gold at $3 premium.
FROM THE MISSISSIPPI ARMY.
Some days since tho capture of the Indfano
la was announced. It appears she was attack
ed by some four or five rebel rams, among
them the Queen of the West. The Indianola
kepi changing her guns from side to side, but
as fast as this was done the rebels gained the
opposite side on account of their superior
speed, and in the boldest manner butted her
again. At length Captain Brown announced
the boat in a sinking condition and surrender
ed the action lasted about twenty minutes.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 6th, however
announces her recapture. It says, the Indian
ola recently captured from the Yankees was
blown up and her guns fell into the hands of
the Federals." A later dispatch to the same
paper says, "the Indianola was not destroyed
and they aro raising her." It also appears
that the Queen of the West left in such a hurry
as to leave part of her crew on shore-. -
The gunboat Carondolet and flv others are
reported to have reached the Tallabatcbee riv
er, via Yazoo Pass.
A fire at the town of Lake Provideuce, de
stroyed most of the place, with a large lot of
commissary stores.
Another flat-boat ran the batteries at Vicks
burg.. She was fired on by the rebels and hit
three times. ... , .
MODERN DEMOCRACY,
Senator Wilson, in replying, lately, ia the
Senate, to the disloyal arguments of Senators
Powell and Turpie, made. the lollowing scath
ing allusions to the modern Democracy :'
"They tell us that the land is filled with the
graves of our murdered countrymen, they tell
us that we have thousands of ' widows and
orphans. But who filled thoso graves 1 Ev
ery bullet fired in this war at the heart ot
our loyal men has been fired by a Democrat,
for a man has to be a Democrat in America be
fore he can be a traitor. Every brave man
who stood by the flag of his country, who has
followed that flag with unswerving fidelity
through sunshine and storm, through disease
of the camp and dangers of the battle-field,
every one of those men who sleep to-day in
their bloody graves, went down by balls ETed
by Democrats. Every soldier's widow in A
mcricamade by this war, by disease or by the
bullet, has been made by Democrats. Every
soldier's orphan child in loyal America was
made an orphan by Democratic bullets. Eve
ry flag of the Republic riddled and torn by shot
and shell was riddled aud torn by Democratic
shot and 'shell."
- A Rebel Journal on Peace Democrats.
- Tho Richmond Ezaminer, of the 2lst nit.,
is bitter against a reconstruction of the U
nion. As this sheet is as open ia its censures
of Jeff. Davis' administration as it dare lie; its
agreement with hia official organ, the Enqui
rer, in spurning the overtures of the North
ern peace men, is the more important. ' It
says the " Abolition majority" of the North,
and the majortty, in the South, are alike op
posed to the copperhead plan.- Why then
should tho Peace Democrats "respect or de
sire to bring into communion parties actuated
by such uncontrollable antipathies. It re
quired forty years to accomplish dissolution.
The work had to be effected by radical meas
ures. The old roots of affection which bonnd
the two people together had to be thoroughly
nptorn before the work could be accomplish
ed. The task had to be so eflectmlly done as
to be incapable of being undone.
"The Northern Democrats ask now, that,
with the frivolity of children, the two com
munities should ignore the past, should treat
the tremendous events of the last forty years
as trifles ; and with a debt of two or three bil
lions of dollars incurred in mutual slaughter,
should shake the bloody hands of each other,
and be brethren once more. Tho thing is not
possible. It would be barbarous, corrupt and
wicked. Who bnt brutes could shake hands
and be friends with the slayers of brothers
and companions."
A COMMENT.
We read in a New York newspaper that at a
Democratic meeting, held in that city on Tues
day rvening March 3d, "hisses were given for
Abraham Lincoln and cheers for South Caro
lina. Abrahom Lincoln is the President of
the United States, the choice of the American
people, the chief man in the nation. South
Carolina was the first State to make war upon
the Union. ' It has always been the borne of
treason and sedition. It is now arrayed a
gaiust the Union in' unrelenting war. The
patriot is hissed ; the traitor State is cheered.
Aud this is done at a Democratic mooting. J

AYEK'S COMPOUND EXTRACT SAR
SAPARILLA. No one remedy is more need
ed in this country than a reliable Alterative, but
the sick have been so outrageously cheated by the
worthless preparations of Sarsaparilla abroad
that they are disgusted even with the name. Yet
the drug cannot be blamed for the impositions
from which they h ave suffered. Most of the so
called Sarsaparillas in the market contain little
of the virtues of Sarsaparilla or anything else.
They are mere slops inert and worthless, while
a concentrated extract of the active variety of
Sarsaparilla compounded with Dock. Stillingia,
Iodine, eto., is, as it ever will be. a powerful al
terative and an effectual remedy. Such is Ayer's
Extract of Sarsaparilla, as its truly wonderful
cures of the great variety of oomplaints which re
quire an alterative medicine have abundantly
shown. "Do not, therefore, discard this invalua
ble medicine, because yon have been imposed up
on by something pretending to be Sarsaparilla,
-while it was not. When you have used Ayer's
then, and not till then, wrll you know the virtues
of Sarsaparilla. For minute particulars of the
diseases it cures, we refer you to Ayer's American
Almanac, which the agent below named will fur
nish gratis to all who call for it.

should have it.
