CLEARFIELD, PA.. APRIL 8. 1863.
THE PATRIOTISM OF THE ARMY.
One of tbe most encouraging signs of the
times is seen in the real patriotism of the sol
diers of the Army. When the war broke out,
. meu of every shade of political opinion rushed
, to the battle field, determined to stand by atid
. to fight in defense ol the Uuion and the Con
stitution ; and right manfully have they on
many occasions shown their holdierly qualities,
and given earnest evidence that they were
ready to do and to dare for their country.
When the most of them left their quiet homes
and psaceful avocations, to peril all for couu
try, the general and almost universal senti
ment was for the war and for whatever meas
ures the Government should' deem it necessa
ry to adopt to crush the rebellion. But with
. in a few months a party has sprung up, whose
chief end is to secure a peace upon any terms,
DO matter bow dishonorable. Some of the
leaders of this party have preached' treason,
' and by their resolutions, speeches, and' public
acts, have encouraged the rebels not a little.
The soldiers have seen the effect that thiscon-
duct on the part of the .Northern sympathi
zers with Southern treason has had upon the
rebels. It has emboldened them to bold on
, and to fight on, knowing that the North was
divided; aud hence it is, that the united
voice of the Army has been and is for war till
. the rebellion is put down. Tim question may
well be put to all preachers of peace at home
as to wbo know best what constitutes genuine
patriotism, the-men who are fighting our bat
tles at the risk of their lives, or those who
-stay at home aud' grumble because the war
Is not carried on as. they would have it? It
w ill not take long to decide so simple a ques
tion. - We believe in the army, in the oflicers
and men who are fighting for the Union ; and
while they, the men of all parties who consti
tute our graud army, are for pressing on to
victory, aud for crushing the rebellion at the
point of the bayonet, we say let the croakers
croak; let the self-styled peace men and the
- grumblers find fault, because of this or that
measure that they do not like ; still the good
cause will triumph, and these uneasy gentle
: men who show their love of country by their In
cessant clamor agaiust the authorities, will
very soon find that they are understood, and
that instead of building themselves up on' the
- ruins of our beloved country, they will be as
signed to their own plact by the present and
' tuture generations.
"32ffAIKS" IN A BAD WAY.
Persons versed in Oph iology state that when
Certain kinds of serpents are too closely pur
sued, or get worked up into a high passion,
they bite themselves and die of their own poi
. sou. Of late, finding themselves hard pres
1 ed for arguments, and allowing th.-msclvea
, to get highly enraged at the exposure of their
- dangerous political subtleties, the "snaiks"
who do fifth editorials of the Copperhead
organ in our town, have exhibited Very alarin-
' Ing symptoms, and we fear, unless something
be speedily done to prevent it, they will
soon fasten their fangs upon their own slimy
, bodies and bring destruction upon themselves.
' So sensitive, indeed, have they become, that
the most trifling cause throws them in a per
fect phreuzy of rage. Thus, for instance, two
weeks ago, in an article headed "Copperhead
Tactics," we inadvertantly used the name of
Mr. Lawrence in place of Mr. Lamberton's.
The ferror was discovered a'id rectified after
perhaps six quires of our issue had been print
ed", which happened to' be folded and sent out
to our town patrons. Without a correction, a
man of very ordinary capacity, after reading
the entire article, and seeing the subsequent
use of Mr. Lambert on 's name in connection
with tbe amendment, would have bad no diffi
culty In determining where the name of Mr.
Lawrence bad been misused, and that there
was.no. intention to 'practice deception" or
to create a wrong impression as to facts. The
snaiks," blinded by anger, could not see
this; and beuce, through the columns of the
. Copperhead organ, they last week spewed out
their rtnom on innocent parties, and indulged
In the use of language that could scarcely be
equalled by the most glibe-tongued flshwoman.
t Poor "snaiks" we pity them, and do hope
their keepers will watch them carefully until
their groundless ire Is allayed, and the danger
of self-destruction bas passed away.

POLAND AUD EUROPE, v
, Ouce more Europe is ou the verge of a lim
itless revolutionary movement. The recent
outbreak in Poland has grown to such magni
tude as to claim the anxious solicitude of all
the European powers. M x ran Langiewicz,
who bas been pioclairaed Dictator, and has assumed-Supreme
military and civil command,
is evidently a young man of ability, firmness
and self-reliance. He learned the art of war
as an artillery officer, in the Prussian army,
and subsequently, after the peace of Villa
Franca, served with Garibaldi, who is much
attached to him. On the 11th of March, with
the sanction of the Central Committee of Po
land, he issued a stirring appeal, assuming the
Dictatorship, and summoning the citizens to
share in the struggle against the oppression
of Russia. Several conflicts have taken place,
with decided advantage to Langiewicz, who is
constantly receiving reinforcements. Eng
land and France would gladly persuade the
Czar to grant such concessions to the Poles
as would satisfy them and restore peace; and
Xapoleon has made a direct appeal to him to
this effect ; but the Czar replies that he can
not make concessions to people in the atti
tude of rebels, and the latter have very little
confidence in any promises that may be made
by a Government which they have good
grounds for suspecting as beiug unfaithful to
pledges made at such a time.
It is very remarkable that the man who has
just bestowed the boon of freedom upon mil
lions of serfs, should have given occasion for
this revolt of bis Polish subjects; but, in so
vast an empire, it is impossible that the hand
of that upright and nuTciful prince can be
ftdt everywhere. It is upon the Grand Duke
Constantirie, who rules as a vice-roy over Po
land, and who is a very different man from his
imperial brother, that the blame of these op
pressions which have driven the Poles to arms
rests. Still, much must be allowed for he
reditary memories of ancient wrongs and
crushed nationality ; and also much for diver
sity in religious laith between the Poles and
the Russians the former being adherents of
the Western, or Rotnishchurch, the latter of
the Easterc, or Greek. These animosities
and diversities occasion turbulence; turbu
lence requires a' strong repressive force, and
that force is oppression. But be the faults
where they may on one side or the other, or
both certain it is that a great and perhaps ir
repressible conflict has broken out; and it
may not be quelled or settled until the whole
continent is wrapped in the flumes of revolu
tion. Hungary sympathizes strongly with Po
land, and it is not to be supposed that that
deeply injured people, who, like the Poles,
have long had heir nationality crushed out
beneath the heels of despots, w ill be quiet
while their brethren of Poland are battling to
regain theirs. Italy is deeply stirred, and the
first outburst in Hungary will be the signal
for the liberation of Yenetia, the restoration
of Rome to her metropolitan place in the Ital
ian Peninsula, and the realization of the fond
dream of the Italians, that the City of the
Uesars shall be the capital of their united
kingdom. France, too, is beginning to throb
once more with the Spirit of Liberty; and it
is not improbable that Napoleon may be con
strained to make a virtue of necessity, and put
himself at the head of thu liberal party in En
rope. Should he do so, and thus swim with
the current, he may keep himself afloat for a
while longer ; but il he undertakes to resist
it, he must quickly go under.
THE RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
The election in Rhode Island on Wednes
day, April l.-t, resulted in the complete tri
umph of the Union Republican ticket. Cop
perheadism has been completely wiped out,
while peace democracy was voted little better
than open Rebellion. All honor then to the
loyal citizens of Little Rhody. They have
given a complete victory tor the National Ad
ministration and the cause of the country.
James Y. Smith, the Union Republ'can can
didate for Governor has 3311 majrity over his
Copperhead competitor Cozzens. In addition
to the Governor, Thomas X. Jenckes and Na
than F. Dixon have been elected' to Congress
by majorities varying from nine to twelve
hundred. In both Houses of the General As
sembly the Republicans hare two-thirds of ttie
members. At the election two years ago, the
Republican candidate for Governor was de
feated by 164-1 votes, and one of their Con
gressional nominees wanted 342 votes of an
election, and the other 541. The great im
provement iu the present result, therefore, is
apparent at a glance. Tho good work is going
on, and the victory in Rhode Island is the har
binger of Union victories iu other loyal States.
THEY THIEST FOE VENGEANCE.
The Jackson Mississippian has a long article
the object of which is to "tiro the Southern
heart." Alter asserting that the cry of
"Peace on any terms" is now becoming al
most universal in the North, and that "Peace
after independence" is the watchword in the
South, it concludes with the following lero
cious paragraph : ,
Yet, after all, we cannot but confess that
we would almost regret a peace to day on our
own terms, had we an army strong enough for
invasion for retaliation. The "Old dam"
is strong within us, and we dare say there are
but few in the south who do not heartily de
sire revenge revenge by retaliating on "free
soil" for the hellish acts of vandalism perpe
trated by the Northern soldiery In fhe South.
O, for only a month's success of an army of
our southern boys, say in the "loyal" Stale
of Ohio 1 The cry ol . "Peace ! peace I would
be cried in earnest shrieked out from hearts
wrung with horror and dismay amid ruined
homesteads, ravaged fields and burning cities.
6 for a month of retaliation ! Then both sides
would appreciate the horrors of a civil war
(which the North does not) snd we would
then be ready and willing for . peace which
thereby would be all the more lasting." .

AN IMPORTANT LETTER.
Lord Lyons on Our "Conserva'.ives" Hit View
of the Situation Five Months Ago.
LORD LYONS TO EARL RUSSELL.
Mr Loao In his dispatches of the 17th and
of the 24th ult . and of th 7th inst., Mr. Stuart
reported to your lordship the result of the
election for members ol Congress and State
officers which have recently taken place in
several of the most impottant States of the
Union. Without repeating the details, it will
be sufficient fur me to observe that the suc
cess of the Democratic or (as it now styles it
self) the conservative party, has been so great
as to manifest a change in public feeling, a
mong the most rapid and the most complete
that has ever been witnessed, even in this
country. :
On my arrival at New York on the 8th inst.
I found the conservative leaders exulting in
the croaning success achieved by the party in
that State. They appeared to rejoice above
all, in the conviction that personal liberty and
freedom of speech had lieen secured for the
principal State of the Union. They believed
that the government must at once desist from
exercising in the State of New York the ex
traordinary (and as they regarded them) ille
gal and unconstitutional powers which it bad
assumed. They were confident that at all
events alter the 1st of January next, on which
day the newly elected Governor would come
into office, the suspension of the writ o( ha
beas corpus could not be practically main
tained. They seemed to be persuaded that
the result of tbt elections would be accepted
by the President as a declaration ot the will
of the people; that he-would increase the
moderate and conservative element in the
Cabinet; that he would seek to termiuate the
war, not to push it to extremity ; that he would
endeavor to effect a reconciliation with the
people of the South, aud renounce the idea of
subjugating or exterminating them.
On the following morning, however, intelli
gence arrived trom Washington which dashed
the rising hopes of the conservatives. It was
announced that General McClell.ui had been
dismissed from the command of the Army of
the Potomac, and ordered to repair to his
Lome: that he had in fact, been removed al
together from active service. The General
had been regarded as the representative of
conservative principles in the army. Support
of him had been made one of the articles of
he conservative electoral programme. His
dismissal was taken as a sign that the Presi
dent had thrown himself entirely into the
arms of the extreme radical party, and that
the attempt to carry out the policy of that
party wuu'd be persisted in. The irritation
of the conservatives at New York was certain
ly Very great; it seemed, however, to be not
unmixed with consternation and despondency.
Several of the leaders of the democratic
party sought interviews with me, both before
and alter the arrival of the intelligence of
General McCiellan's dismissal. The subject
uppermost iu their minds while they were
speaking to me was naturally that of foreign
mediation between the North and South.
Many ot them xeenied to think tint this me
diation must come at last ; but they appeared
to be very much afraid of its coming too soon.
It was evident that they apprehended that a
premature proposal ol foreign intervention
would afioid the radical party a means of re
viving the violent war. spirit, and of thus de
feating the peaceful plans of the conserva
tives. They appeared to regard the present j
moment as peculiarly unfavorable for such an
ofler, and, indeed, to hold that it would be es
sential to the success of any proposal from
abroad that it should be deferred until the
control of the executive government should
he in the hands ot the conservative party.
I gave no opinion on the subject. I did not
say whether or not I myseil thought foreign
intervention probable or advisable ; but I lis
tened w ith attention to the accounts given me
of the plans and hopes of the conservative
party. At the bottom I thought I perceived
a desire to put an end to the war, even at the
risk ot losing the Southern States altogether;
hut it W4S plain that it was not thought pru
dent to avow this desire. Indeed, some hints
of it, dropped before the elections, were so ill
received that a strong declaration in the con
trary sense was deemed necessary by the dem
ocratic leaders.
At the present moment,therefore,the chiefs
of the conservative party call loudly for a
more vigorous prosecution of the war, and re
proach the government with slackness at well
as with want of success in its military meas
ures. But they repudiate all idea of interfe
ring with the institutions of the Southern
people, or of waging a war of subjugation or
extermination. They maintain that the ob
ject ot the military operations should be to
place the North in a position to demand an
armistice with honor and with effect. The
armistice should (they hold) be followed by a
convention, in which such changes of the Con
stitution should be proposed as would give
the South ample security on the subject of its
slive propetty, and would enable the North
and the South to reunite and live together in
peace and harmony. . The conservatives pro
fess to think that the South might be induced
to take part in such a conventiou, and that a
restoration of the Union would be the result.
The more sagacious members ot the party
must, however, look npon the proposal ot a
convention merely as a last experiment to test
the possibility of reunion. They are, no
doubt, well aware that the more probable con
sequence of an armistice would be the estab
lishment of Southern independence ; but they
perceive that if the South is so utterly aliena
ted that no possible concessions will induce
it to return voluntarily to the Union, it is wi
ser to agree to separation than to prosecute a
cruel and hopeless war. '
. It is with reference to such an "armistice as
they desire to attain that the leaders of the
conservative party regard the question of for
eign mediation. They think that the offer of
mediation if made to a radical administration,
would be rejected : that If made at an onpro-
pitious moment, it might increase, the viru
lence with . which the, war is prosecuted. If
their own party were in power, or virtually
controlled the administration, they would rath
er, if possible, obtain an armistice without the
aid ot foreign governments; but they would
be disposed to accept an.vSer of mediation if
it appeared to be the oidy means of putting a
stop to hostilities. ' They would desire that
the offer should come from the great Powers
of Europe conjointly, and in particulat that as
little prominence as possible should be 'given
to Great Britaiu.
; At Washington I hive had fewer opportuni
ties than I had at New York of ascertaining
the present views ot the chiefs of the poli ti
ed parties. At the interview which 1 bad
with Mr. Seward the day after my arrival, he
showed no disposition to enter upon political
matters. He did not appear to expect or to
desire to receive from roe any special commn
nication trom her Majesty's government. The
President, when I waited upon him, talked to
me only on ordinary topics. I, for my part,
gladly shunned all allusion to foreign inter
vention, my principal object being to avoid
saying anything which might embarrass me in
carrying out any instructions on the su ject
which I may receive fiom your lordship.
All things considered, my own opinion cer
tainly is that the present moment is not a fa
vorable one for making an offer of mediation.
It might embarrass the peace party, and even
oblige them, in order to maintain their popu
larity, to make some public declarations a
gainst it, and this might make it difficult for
them to accept a similar otter at a more pro
pitious time. It would in all probability be
rejected by the President, who appears to
have thrown himself into the arms of the ex
treme radical party. ' The views of that party
are clear and definite. They declare that
there is no hope of reconciliation with the
southern people; that the war must be pur
sued, per fas aut nefas until the disloyal men
of the South are ruined and subjugated, if not
exterminated ; that not an inch of the old ter
ritory of the republic must be given up ;. that
foreign intervention, in any shape, must be
rejected and resented. This party would de
sire lb turn an offer of mediation to account
for the purpose of inflaming the war spirit and
producing a reaction against the conservatives.
It is probable, too, that the government
wguld urge, in answer to an offer of media
tion, that it has by no means abandoned the
hope of putting down the rebellion within a
reasonable time; that, at all events, this is
uot a moment at which it can reasonably be
called upon to put a stop to hostilities. It
would observe that the armies of the United
States are everywhere advancing, and that ex
peditions are prepared against Texas, as well
as against Charleston, Mobile and other points
on the coast. It would point out that it had
equipped -a considerable number of war ves
sels, iron-clad as well as others, at a vast ex
pense ; that the season bad just arrived when
the autumn rains would render the rivers nav
igable by armed vessels, and when the south
ern coast would be free' from epidemic dis
ease. It might even represent an advance of
the Array, of the Potomac to Richmond as a
probable event.. The experience of the past
is certainly not calculated to inspire any great
confidence in the results of these warlike prep
arations ; but the political interests of the
party now in power render a continuance of
the war a necessity to it. Its only chance ol
regaining its lost popularity lies in successful
military operations. Unless it can obtain a
much higher place in public estimation than
it now occupies, not only w ill fts teuure of
power become extremely ptecarioti,but some
of its leading members may be called to a s
a8?tp.,
nigs. -
vere account tor their extra legal proceedings
During the session of Congress which begins
next month the present administration bas in
deed reason to expect an uncompromising
support from a majority of both Houses of
Congress. But on the 4th of March next the
existing House of Representatives is dissolv
ed by the terms ol the constitution, aud at
the same time several of the present Senatt rs
go out of office. The majority of the mem
bers chosen at the recent elections for the new
House of Representatives are ot the Demo
cratic or conservative party, and in some
States Senators of that party will be returned
in the room of those whose terms of office ex
pire next March. The new Congress is in fact
likely to be hostile to the administration and
to the radical party ; and although it will not,
in the ordinary course of things, assemble un
til the last mouth of next year, the President
will hardly be able to persist in bis present
policy and in his assumption of extraordinary
powers, unless he can, in virtue of military
success, obtain a reputation with the people
which will sustain him in a contest with the
legislature.
It would seem, then, to be vain to make an
offer of mediation to the present Government,
in their present mood, with any notion that
it would be accepted. A change of mood
may, however, take place after the 4tb of
March, if no great military success occur in
the interval. Such a change may possibly be
produced sooner by military reverses. A pro
posal, however, to mediate, made even under
present circumstances, by three or more of the
great powers of Europe conjointly, might not
produce any great inconvenience.
It is, indeed, urged by some people that me
diation should be offered, not so much wMi a
view to its being accepted, as to its clearing
the way for a recognition ol the Southern
Confederacy. And, indeed, if it were deter
mined that the time had come for recognizing
that Confederacy, no doubt an offer of media
tion would be a suitable preliminary. But i
do not clearly understand what advantage is
expected to result from a simple recognition
of the Southern Government ; and I presume
that the European Powers do not contemplate
breaking up the blockade by force of arms,
or "engaging in hostilities with tbe United
States, in support of the independence of tbe
South. '
have, indeed, beard it maintained that
Great Britain" should recognize the indepen
dence of the South as soon as possible, with
a view to impede the success of the efforts of
the conservative party to reconstruct the U
nion. The advocates ot this opinion consider
a reunion as a probable,, event, and apprehend
; that the first result of it would be that the
J combined forces of the North . and the South
would be let loose upon Canada. I certainly
do not at present share these apprehensions.
All hope of the reconstruction of the Union
appears to be fading away, even' from tbe
minds of those who most ardently desire it.
But if the reconstruction be still possible, I
do not think that we need conclude that it
would lead to an invasion of Canada, "or to
any consequences injurious to Great Britain.
At any rate, dangers of this kind are remote.
Tbe immediate aud obvious intetest of Great
Britaiu, as well as the rest of Europe, is that
peace and prosperity should be restored to
this country as soon as possible. The point
chiefly worthy ot consideration appears to be
whether separation or reunion be the moie
likely to effect this object.

THE WAR NEWS.
Very little of an interesting character has
transpired iu the way of Army movements du
ring the past week. It is true there are some
reports of an unfavorable nature as to the op
orations o i the Mississippi ; but they have no
tangible shape and lack confirmation. It is
stated that the Indianola has, been repaired by
the Rebels and is now in tbHr possession at
some point on the Red River. The ptepara
tions for the attack on Charleston are stili in
progress, but no one . knows when the actual
demonstration wil! be made against that Rebel
den. It is reported that Pensacola has been
burned by the Federal forces. . There is a fly
ing rumor that Charleston has been ciptured.
Wo have no confidence in these reports.
Copperheads Voting tor Negroes is Ches
ter Countv. The American Republican makes
a statement to the effect that two copperhead
Democrats of Chester courty, at the recent
spring election, voted respectively for two ne
groes to discharge the dutiet of certain of the
election officers. The names of these copper
heads are Harlan Clayton and Thomas Wood
ward. They voted open tickets.
