The Weather. During Satnrday night
and on Sunday, snow fell to the depth of a
hont 4 inches in this region. It has since been
melting away, but so gradually that up to the
time of going to press the water in the Sus
quehanna was at too low a stage for running
rafts. We may expect, however, that, in a
day or two, there will be a good rafting fresbe
Kins. On the night of the 2d April, the
spring house of Mr. Allen Mitchell of Law
rence township, with a large quantity of meat,
me flonr, ait two stoves, ect., and the
kitchen pnrt of his house, were destroyed by
flre. The house being of stone, was saved
through the exertions of a few neighbors who
hastened to the scene of conflagration prom
inent among these was Miss Maggie Reed,
who deserves special mention for her almost
snperhuman efforts on the occasion. Mr.

the origin of the fire, but It is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JOURNAL "
Camp, sear Belle Plum, Virginia, I
March 20th, 1863. J
DuarRow: Early on the morning ot the
17th, a detachment of the 1st Maryland Caval
ry, composed of yonr correspondent and his
htdy, (who is favoring ns with a visit and get
ting ns up a clever meal now and then,) start
ed for Falmouth, not for the purpose of mak
ing a more general reconnoisance of the ene
my's works, but for the purpose of observing
what might be going on among onr own troops,
nd particularly how the brave fellows from
the Emerald Isle werd putting in M. Patrick's
day. In this our curiosity was fully gratified
by the 9th Massachusetts, who bad agreed with
their officers, that said officers should exercise
no suthority over them nntil after 6 o'clock,
P- m. They then selected officers for the oc
cmion. The Colonel pro tern was a dumpy lit
tle specimen with a little turned np nose, san
dy curling hair, and mounted on one of the
most Jackassical looking moles to be found,
and armed with shillalah. His subordinates
were selected to correspond and armed in like
manner. When we arrived, accompanied by
leveral old friends, the sport bad commenced.
A greased pole about ten feet high was placed
'n the centre of the parade ground, on the top
of which was placed a ten-dollar green-back
and a ten day's furlough, aa a prize. Now,
the scratching and scrambling and bountiful
ose of ashes, sand, etc., commenced, but all
In vain there fluttered the taunting furlough
and green-back, as one after another gave way
to a successor, each rewarded only with
tlothes covered with a bountiful supply of
grease and ashes, enough of which atill re
mained upon the pole to punish the temerity
nd blast the hopes of the next aspirant. The
Bt performance was with a pig, weighing a-
bout thirty pounds. By means of a sharp knife
his pigships tail was deprived of the last
bristle and well greased, the only handle made
use of in holding him. The prize for captur
ing him was ten dollars, a ten-day furlough
and the pig ; but this proved to be a feat no
easier accomplished than climbing the pole.
However, all agreed with one chap, that it the
taper of the pig's tail was reversed, his squeal
ing aparatus would soon be forever bushed,
and be be found on the road traveled by a host
of his fellow grunters, ar.d ' plinty uv fine
checkins in the bargin." The favorite bever
age, whiskey, was by no means scarce a few
gallons of which was sent to their particular
friends, the 62d Penn'a, which from appear
ances was not unthanktully received. About
3 o'clock a damper was thrown upon their hi
larity by an accident. Two horse races were
got up at different points, and neither party
knowing of the others arrangements, they
started towards each other, and two ot the
Dorses run together with sufficient force to
kill both, whilst the riders were very . severely,
if not fatally injured. The programme, how
ever, was soon resumed, and the 'sports wint
round as gay as iver. The next morning, on
passing the old 9th, I was pleased to see that
all had resumed its usual qniet and order.
On our way to the river we overtook a squad
of gray-backs that had been captured by Gen.
Averill's men at Kelly's ford. The sight ot
these Dixie rag-boys proved of Interest to the
lady portion of our p irty this being the first
specimen of Southern chivalry in gray jackets
that they had seen. After visiting the 105th,
and having a chat with Col. McKnight, Char
lie Powers, and other acquaintances, whom
we were. pleased to find looking and feeling
tip-top. We returned to our camp well pleas
ed with our trip, with ourselves, and with eve
rybody else rebels, torys, and copperheads
excepted.
Our regiment now numbers nearly 700 men,
in fine condition and spirits.
Tours as ever, c. e. l.
Phimpsbdro, Centre Co. Pa. April 4, 1863.
Dear Jocbsal : The ides of March have
passed the annual stampede of bed buys has
come and gone. A grand and gala day is the
1st of April. It is then that those of the gen
tler sex "who trot in double harness" are in
their Element- It does a wife so much good
to "move" that I verily believe it would be a
blessing for every Benedict to move six times
a-week the year 'round. He mast have a hap
py time, especially if his better half was a
Katbarina, for she would be so busy telling
bernew neighbors how she did dislike living
at Bull Run, or Slab Town, or Five Points,
that be, blessed man, would escape any cur
tain lectures, and his purse would not get the
sweeny,' or his "greenbacks" contraction
lor the dear woman would be in such a hurry
to administer some light in the form of coal
oil, to the bed bugs of her new domicile, that
I she would never think of shopping. Oh ! glo
rious era, when "moving day" comes at
least once a month.
Our town has again been thown into a
mournful excitement. Mr. Austin Sneering
er, eldest son of P. Sneeringer of Tyrone, was
suddenly taken sick on Tuesday, and on
Thursday morning his young and generous
heart had ceased to beat. He was highly es
teemed by the entire community. He was a
friend to every one. His death is lamented
by all who knew him. Congestion of the
lungs occasioned bis death.
We are now in the springtide of mud.
From where Presqueville leaves its oriental
Jlfne, to where it terminates on the bank of the
"Big" Mosbannon, 'tis a sea of mud. And this
is the Broadway of our town. Ye Town Fa
thers arouse from your slumbers, and pave
our streets ere we are entombed in mud.
Plank our sidewalks and save such wild, fan
tastic displays of white hose.
Well, Mr. Editor, you Clearfielders are a
head of ns again. 1 se by this week's "Jour
nal" that you have a Union League in full
operation. I am in hopes we may be able to
form a "League" in our town. But the Cop
perheads have such a majority, that I snppose
they would declare a Union League unconsti
tutional. We have some good and true Union
men; but, I am sorry to say. we have some, or
at least one man, who openly asserts that he
would prefer living under the confederate or
rebel government, than the old Union, that he
is more convinced than ever that the south
will gain her independence, and all the most
treasonable, traitorous, seditious, and rebell
ious language that any man could possibly ut
ter even were be south of Mason & Dixon's
line. And yet this same Copperhead holds
an office, and has sworn to support the consti
tutions of Pennsylvania and of the United
States. Ye Gods, it doth amaze me, that a
man of such sandy temperament should so get
the start of stretching hemp, as to thus talk
snch language in a civilized community. God
grant, that the day of retribution may soon
dawn, and that all who hold such sentiments
may be passed to the gulf-stream, and tbere
have a millstone hung about their necks, and
cast into the waters, and in a moment sink
never to return. Yours truly. Leroi.
THE BEST WAY TO PUT MONEY OTT AT
INTEREST
The following information we insert in our
coinmns for the benefit of onr readers;
From the Philadelphia Ledger, March 27 .
One of the most surprising things in the re
cent conversion of greenback notes into the
popnlar Five Twenty six per cent. Govern
men t loan at par, is the universality of the
call. ; We happened in, yesterday, at the of
fice of Jay Cooke, who is the agent for the
sale of these loans, and the conversion of the
greenbacks, and found his table literally cov
ered with orders and accompanying drafts for
almost all amounts, from five thousand to a
hundred thousand each, and from all parts of
the Union. The little states of Deleware and
New Jersey are free takers. at are also Penn
sylvania, New York and the New England
States But the West is most especially an
active taker, as well through her banks as by
individuals. The amount of orders lying be
tween ns, nil received during the, day, amount
ed to over fifteen hundred thousand dollars.
With this spontaneous proffer of money. Sec
retary Chase must feel himself entirely at ease,
and will take care to put himsell beyond
those money sharpers, whose chief studj' is
how to profit themselves most from the troub
les of the country and the necessities of the
treasury. There are millions of dollars lying
idle all over the country, and while the uncer
tainty existed as to what Congress would do.
and the bullion brokers were successful, cap
ital was clutched close. But as the policy
and measures of the secretary of the treasury
are gradually developed, confidence in the
Government in the future is strengthened,
and holders are now anxious to make their
long unemployed means productive hence
the ready and liberal investments in the Five
Twenty loans at par. Almost every town and
village throughout the country has individual
holders of money to larger amounts probably
than ever before at one time, for which satis
factory takers can not be found. Many of
those are now investors in these loans, and
the number of such is likely to increase, -until
the demand shall put all the government
loans on par with, at least the loans of the v.
rious incorporated companies. The country
banks are also free takers for themselves and
their customers. On the 1st of July this five
Twenty Year loan will, under the law, be
withdrawn.
, Berks Co, Pa, March, 20, 1863.
Jay Cooke, Esq., United States Loan Agent,
114 South Third Street, Philadelphia :
Dear Sir : I see by our papers that you are
selling for the Government a new loan called
"Five Twenties." I expect to have shortly a
few thoaand dollars to spare, and as I have
made up my mind that the Government Loans
are safe and good, and that it is my dnty and
interest, at this time, to put my money into
tbem in preference over any other loans or
stocks I write to get information . of you as
follows:
1st. Why ate they called "Five Twenties 7"
2nd. Do you take country money, or only
Legal Tender Notes, or will a check on Phil
adelphia, or New York, answer for subscrip
tions? 3d. Do you sell the Bonds at par 7
4th. As I cannot come to Philadelphia, how
am I to et the bonus 7
5th. What Intnrest do they pay, and how
and when and where is it paid, and is it paid
in Gold or legal Tenders 7
6th. How does Secretary Chase get enough
Gold to pay this Interest?
7th. Will the face of the Bonds be paid in
Gold when due ?
8th. Can 1 have the Bonds payable to Bear
er with Coupons, or registered and payable to
my order ? -
9th. What sizes are the Bonds 7
10th. Will I have to pay the same tax on
tbem as I now pay on ray Railroad, or other
Bonds 7
11th. -What is the present debt of the Gov.
ernment, and what amount is it likely to
.reach if the rebellion should last a year or
two longer 7
12th. Will Secretary Chase get enough
from Custom House duties and Internal Rev
enue, Income Taxes, &c Sec, to make it cer
tain that he can pay the Interest punctually 7
I have no doubt that a good many of my
neighbors would like to take these Bonds,
and if you will answer my questions I will
show the letter to them.
Very Respectfully, S M F .

Office of J at Cooke, Subscription Agent, at 1
Office of J at Cooke A Co., Bakers, 114 S. 3d St. J
Philadelphia, March 23, 1863.
Dear Sir : Your letter of the 20th inst. is re
ceived, and I will cheerfully give you the in
formation desired by answering your questions
in due order.
1st. These bonds are called "five-twenties"
because, while they are 20 year Bonds, they
may be redeemed by the Government in Gold
at any time after five years. Many people
suppose that the Interest is only 5 20 percent.
This is a mistake; they pay Six per cent In
terest. 2nd. Legal Tender notes or checks upon
Philadelphia or New York that will bring
Legal Tenders, are what the Secretary allows
me to receive. No doubt your nearest Bank
will give yon a check or Legal Tenders for
yonr country fund.
3rd. The bonds are sold at Par, the Inter
est to commence the day you pay the money.
4th. I have made arrangements with your
nearest Bank or Banker, who will generally
have the Bonds on hand. If not, you can send
the money to me by Express, and I will send
back the Bonds free of cost.
5th. The Bonds pay Six per cent. Interest
in Gold, three per cent, every six months, on
the first day of May and November at the
Mint in Philadelphia, or at any Sub-Treasury
in New York or elsewhere. If you have Cou
pon Bonis, all you have to do is to cut the
proper Coupon off each six months, and col
lect it yourself or give it to Bank for collec
tion. If you have Registered Bonds, you can
give your Bank a power of attorney to collect
the interest for you.
6th. The duties on imports ot all article
from abroad must be paid id Gold, and this is
the way Secretary Chase gets his gold. It is
now being paid into the Treasury at the rate
of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars each day,
which is twice as much as he needs to pay the
Interest in Gold.
7th. Congress has provided that the Bonds
shall pe Paid in GoM'when due.
8th. You can have cither Coupon Bonds pay
able to the Bearer, or Registered Bonds pay
able to your order.
9th. The former are in 50's, 100's, 500's
and 1000's, the Utter in same amounts, also
$5000 's and $10,000.
10th. No! You will not have to pay any
(axes on these Bonds if your income from tnem
does not exceed $600 ; and on all above $600
you will only have to piy one-half as much
Income Tax as if your money was invested in
Mortgages or other Securities. I consider
the Government Bonds as first ot all all oth
er Bonds are taxed one-quarter percent, to pay
the Interest on the Government Bonds, and
the Supreme Court of the United States has
just decided that no State, or City, or County
can tax Government Bonds.
11th. The present bonded debt of the Uni
ted Statesisless than Three Hundred Million
including the seven and three-tenths Treasury
Notes ; but the Government owes enough more
In the shape of Legal Tenders, Deposits in the
Sub-Treasuries, Certificates of Indebtedness,
&c, to increase the debt to about eight er
nine hundred millions. Secretary Chase has
calculated that the debt may reach one thous
and, seven hundred millions, if the Rebellion
lasts eighteen months longer. It is, however
believed now that it will not last six months
longer ; but even if it does, our National Debt
will be small compared with that of Great Bri
tain or France, whilst our resources are vastly
greater.
12th. I have no doubt that the revenue will
not only be ample to pay the ordinary expen
ses of the Government and all Interest on the
debt, but leave at least one hundred millions
annually toward paying off the debt, and that
the Government will be able to get out of debt
again as it has twice before in a few years
after the close of the war.
I hope that all who have idle money will at
once purchase these Five-Twenty Year Bonds.
The right to demand them for Legal Tenders
will end on the first day of July, 1863, as per
the following authorized notice :
Special Notice. On and after July 1st,
1863, the privilege of converting the present
issue of Legal Tender Note into the National
six per cent. Loan (commonly called "Five
Twenties") will cease.
All who wish to invest in the Five-Twenty
Loan mnst, therefore, apply before the 1st of
July next. Jay Cooke, Subscription Ag't,
No 114 S. Third St., Philadelphia.
Those who neglect these Six per cent.
Bonds, the Interest and Principal of which
they will get in Gold, may have occasion to
regret it. 1 am, very truly, your Friend,
Jay Cooke, Subscription Agent.
N. B. Leonard, Finney &Co.,of Clearfield,
Pa., are Subscription Agents for the sale of
these Borfds for this section of the State, of
whom these Bonds may be purchased, if you
prefer to go there to get them.
Horrible. The Indiana Register of the 1st
inst, relates the following particulars of a
most distressing accident:
On the 26th ult., between the hours of 9
and 10 o'clock a. m., Mary Reed, aged nine
years, daughter of Thomas Reed, of West Leb
anon, entered the steam grist mill of -Mr. Jo.
seph Collins, in company with a little brother
about 4 years of age. The miller observed
them pass up stairs, but paid no attention to
them, as it was a common occurrence for
tbem to be about the mill. In a few minutes
he observed the little boy on the second floor
apparently much frightened. Turning round
to look for the little girl, be noticed blood
running down from the third story. He im
mediately stopped the mill and raised an a
larm. Upon examination it was found that
her clothes bad been caught : by an upright
shaft attached to the bolting aparatus, forcing
the body between the shaft and a post about
six inches from it. The bead was completely
severed from the body, the clothing stripped
entirely off and the body bruised and man
gled in a most frightful manner.

& Co., in to-day's Journal, it you are in want
of clothing. They sell cheap. ; . -
NATIONAL PRAYER AND HUMILIATION.
A proclamation by the President of the Uni
ted States of America.
Whereas, The Senate ot the United States,
devoutly recognizing the supreme authority
and just government of Almighty God, in all
the affairs of men and of nations, has, by a
resolution, requested the President to desig
nate and set ap.trt a day for National prayer
and humiliation : and,
Whereas, It is the duty of nations, as well
as of men, to own their dependence upon the
overruling power of God to confess their sins
and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet
with assurred hope that genuine repentance
will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recog
nize the sublime truths announced in the Ho
ly Scriptures, and proven by all history, that
those nations only are blessed whose God is
the Lord :
And, inasmuch as we know that, by His di
vine law, nations, like individuals, are sub
jected to punishments and chastisements in
this world, may we not justly fear that the
awful calamity of civil war, which now deso
lates the land, may be but a punishment in
flicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to
the needful end of our national reformation ai
a whole people ? We have beea the recipients
of the choicest bounties ot Heaven. We have
been preserved, these many years, in peace
and posterity. We have grown in numbers,
wealth and power as no other nation has ever
grown. But we have forgotten God. We have
torgotton the gracious hand which preserved
us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and
strengthened us ; and we have vainly imagin
ed, in the deceitfulnejs ot our hearts, that all
these blessing were produced by some supe
rior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxica
ted with unbroken success, we have become
too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of re
deeming and preserving grace, too proud to
pray to the God that made ns !
It behooves ns then, to bumble ourselves
before the offended Power, to confess our na
tional sins, and to pray for clemency and for
giveness. Now, therefore, in compliance with the re
quest, and folly concurring in the views of
the Senate, I do by this my proclamation des
ignate and set apart Thursday, the 30th day
of April, 1863, as a day of national humilia
tion, fasting, and prayer. And I do hereby
request all the people to abstain on that day
from their ordinary secular pursuits, and to
unite, at their several places of public wor
ship, and their respective homes, in keeping
the holy day to the Lord, and devoting to the
humble discharge of the religious duties prop
er to that solemn occasion.
All this being done, in sincerity and truth,
let us then rest humbly in the hope, author
ized by Divine teachings, that the united cry
of the Nation will be heard on high, and an
swered with blessings, no less than the par
don of our National sins, aod restoration of
onr now divided and suffering country to its
former happy condition of unity and peace.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this thirtieth

AYER 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 have 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 worthies, while
a concentrated extract of the active variety of
Sarsaparilla compounded withJock7 Stillingia,
Iodine, etc., is, as it ever will be, a powerful al
terative and an effectual remedy. Such is Ayer's
Extract of Sarsaparilla, us its truly wonderful
cures of the great variety of complaints which re
quire an alterative medicine have abundantly
shown. Do not, therefore, discard this invalua
ble medicine, because yon have beea imposed up
on by something pretending to be Sarsaparilla,
while it was not. When you have Used Ayer's
then, and not till then, will you know the virtues
of Sarsaparilla. For minute partioulars 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.
