CLEARFIELD. PA., JULY 22. 1863.
HEW YORK COPPERHEAD RIOTS.
For several days the rioters had complete
away in the city of New York. Most of the
business houses were closed in certain streets,
on account of the wanton and indiscriminate
destruction of property. The block of build
ings in which the Marshall's office wns loca
ted, was burned and some of the papers be
longing to that officer destroyed ; thus, tor
the time being obstructing the draft, which
serins to have caused the outbreak. Many
other depredations were committed by the ri
oters. The hanging of the men, the beating
to death of negroes, the burning of private
houses and of an Orphan Asylum, the tearing
up of railroad tracks and the cutting down of
telegraph wires, the robbing of stores, etc.,
are among the lawless deeds perpetrated by
.this band of desperadoes, who, it stems, were
led by a Virginian named Andrews. This
Wretch, H i said, was afterwards arretted in
a sink of iniquity in New York city, where he
was living in eouenbinage with a negro pros
tit ate, whilst he has a white wife and children
in Virginia surely, a fit representative of
Jeff Davis, aud hi? allies.
Does any man doubt (hat Jeff Davis has sym
pathizers in the North ? If so, let him observe
the expressions made use of by some of the
copperheads. For irstauce ; at a gathering a
few days since near this place, when the re
sistance to tho draft in New York was announ
ced, ero of the leaders exclaimed, "Good,
good ! I wish to God it would extend all over
lite North." Whilst some are thus openly re
joiced over a resistance lathe dralt, others
are more cautions, yet, their beaming counte
nances betray their feelings. In view of such
facts, can honest men much longer doubt as
to the true intent of the leaders of the copper
head1 clique I We trow not.
Thus, one fact is evident. While the
friends oi the Union, nc matter of which po
litical party heretofore, are rejoicing at the
victories achieved over the rebels by our arm.
ies, the copperhead leaders are rejoicing over
the successes of a New York mob, who have
net at defiance the laws of our Government,
by resisting the draft. Such things, however,
are of but short duration. ' The riot in New
York has been "squelched" out, and a reac
tion will take place in the rainds of all right
thinking men, and the Government will be all
the stronger on account of the occurrence ; as
it has developed the true state of sentiment
in that city, and in other sections of the
Northern States.
A NORTHERN TRAITOR ENCOURAGED TO
SPEAK OUT.
The Richmond Examiner, of J ft ly 6, con
tains the following from some of the traitor
ous brood nurtured in the VVoods' and Brook
es' nest of copperheadisru in New York City :
As emcoi.baqei.no Voice from New York.
The following letter has just been received
in Montgomery, Alabama, from one of the
most prominent citizens of New York. It is
dated June 16th :
'The raid into Pennsylvania is a glorious
ne, and there is nothing to hinder pushing
tor Philadelphia. The Dutchmen are "scared,"
and think the day of judgement is coming.
20.000 good infantry can whip 100,000 raw
mil.tia, the less likely to succeed. The "con
federate navy" is doing a good work, and the
insnranee officers have lost a "pile." Give
Captain Semraes a war vessel, and the powder
will fly. Can Ilie of any service to you or
your friends 7 Let me know in what way. I
can raise a regiment among ray own acquain
tances and employees to aid the good south
ern cause."
In (heir fast issne. the copperhead editors
in this place, made an attempt at wit,(?)
which reminds us of the "saw" aboiit the boy
"whistling to keep his courage op," when be
passed a grave yard. The news of the Union
successes came in so thick, last week, as to
- cause nausea on our neighbors' stomachs, and
-.hence they: could neither "laugh" nor look
pleasant. Nay, bad a stranger got a glimpse
t them on the announcement of the defeat of
Lie at Gettysburg, he would have concluded
that tbey bad lost all their friends, including
their "southern brothers." But, when the
news of the copperhead riot in New York
reached them, they at once crawled from their
holes, and their tortured physiognomy assum
ed quite a hilarious appearance, and in their
brief felicity they found relief in a personal
tirade against us. Their slang, however, does
ns no injury, but has served to reveal the true
character of our neighbors political, not per
tonal. -.,
mmm ' i
e. - IMPORTANT TO CONSCRIPTS.
Below we give part of Section 11th, of the
"Act for Enrolling and calling out the Na
tions) forces, and for other purposes," which is
of interest to all persons who may be drafted :
. Jtud.bt it further enacted, That all persons
thus called into the military service of the TJ
sited States, eontinne in service dnring the
present rebellion, Hot however exceeding the
terms f three years ; and when called into
service shall be placed on the same fitting,
in all respects, as volunteers for thre years
or during the war, including aipance pay and
bounty a now provided by law. "
r By this provision the drafted men are plac
ed upon the tame footing as volunteers, in all re
sjtctHpy, bounty, and promotion for gallant
services); whUh, perhaps, is a privilege that
baa never been eitended to conscripts by any
a at ion heretofore.
THE FATE 0T THE SYMPATHIZES.
As the gleaming of victory begin to dawn
oft the land, and the power and majesty of the
Government assnine their proper shape, no
class of men in 'the country occupy a worse
position than the Northern sympathizers with
Southern treason. For the mass of men who
engaged as soldiers in the rebel army, we can
now, in the hour of victory, feel less resent
ment and more of pity, than we can for the
wretches in the loyal States. who made use of
their social safety and poliiical privilege to
give aid at d comfort to the rebel government
and army. When the leaders of the Demo
cratic party started in their opposition to the
National dministration, and when they at
tempted by artifice and argument to obstruct
and embarrass t he policy to put down the rebel
lion, it was with as direct a purpose to destroy
the Government as was the same design the
object of the rebellion itself. When the Gov
ernment was most embarrassed the Democracy
of New York were most offensive in their
treatment of its Constitutional representatives.
When the rebellion seemed most likely to
succeed, the Democratic leaders of the North
were most zealous in their denunciation of the
acts devised for its suppession. When Lee
and his satelites were marching in triumph to
the invasion of Pennsylvania, a Democratic
Convention assembled at Harrisburg, from the
proceedings of which the broadest and the
strongest inference of aid and comfort could
be drawn for the rebel cause, while some of the
delegates to that Convention actually denied
the abilitv of the Army of the Potomac to re'
sist invasion. All the acts of the Democratic
loaders sought the success of the slaveholders'
rebellion merely to gratify a partizan hatred of
those in power at Washington. The Woods, of
New York, Woodwards of Pennsylvania and
Vallandigh ams of Ohio, labored to overthrow
the Administration, not that they hid a conn
try to defend or a principle to advocate, but
solely and only because they had a party to
maintain. National honor, nnity and peace
were all prostituted to the uses of party, until
the partizan passions of the Democratic leaders
assumed a worse shape than even tho worst
purpose of the armed leaders of the rebellion.
What has been the result of all this double
dealing on the part of the Democratic leaders?
Let the flames with which an incendiary mob
light tho streets of New York city answer.
Of what profit has been this teaching of
the Democratic leaders ? Let the ruin and de
vastation of certain parts of the same city an
swer. What has been gained by this Demo
cratic duplicity? Let the blood which yet
flows in New York testily. All this has been
the result of the doctrines taught by the Dem
ocratic leaders. The mun was assured that
la s passed to insure public safety, were un
constitutional, were oppressive on the poor
man, and should be opposed. Democratic
teaching has bad its reward. Democratic sym
pathy for rebellion has borne its fruit. Hence
forth it will not be hard to tell who are oppo
sed to the government.
Need we attempt to write the fate of those
who have thus been conspicuous in working
evil to the country ? No. Time will produce
the redress for these evils. Peace will bring
its reward for these men. The judgement of
the people, when calmness and reason again
prevail, will award a proper punishment for
the men who strove to make use of the misfor
tunes of the nation to ensure its irretrievable
ruin. The fate of all traitors is the same ; and
we cau therefore safely estimate the fate of
the present Democratic leaders by that which
overtook Benedict Arnold. As his name is
now a subject for hissing scorn and contempt,
so will the names of the leaders of the Demo
cratic party become hereafter. Telegraph.

As War is now practiced by the nations of
the world, the genious of man is taxed to in
vent the most fearful machinery for the de
struction of his fellow man. For instance, a
shell for rifles has been invented by Captain
Norton of the British army. It is charged
with solid phosphorous. Projected from a
cavalry pistol, it lodged in a dead board and
burned with a fierce flame for some time.
Imagine ten thousand , men armed with rifles
throwing such missiles, and the effect upon the
foe assailed.
How Buchanan is Estbemed In Lancaster.
It is stated on good authority, that when
the body of General Reynolds reached Lancas

relatives to Ex-President Buchanan not to be
present at bis funeral. To this we may add,
that tho throng which attonded the funeral ot
the gallant dead, openly declared that "if the
hypocrite Buchanan attempted to disgrace the cor
tege which fbllovs a gallant hero to the grave
with his presence, thtre ipoM Id be two instead of
one funeral."rEx.
APOLOGETIC AND REPENTANT.
The last Copperhead organ in this place con
tains a brief article on the battle at Gettysburg,
from -which we take the following extract :
"Nor Ocr Fault. Perhaps some of our
readers will expect an explanation from us
this week, inasmuch as the cheering news we
sent forth in our last issue about the result of
the great battle near Gettysburg, has turned
out to have been, in a great measure, mere
moonshine."
"Some.of onr readers will expect an expla
nation from ns," say these editors. What
portion ? The Copperheads ? , And why ?
Because "the great battles near Gettysburg,"
have turned out to be "mere moonshine."
How very encouraging it must be to our sol
diers and all true Union men to learn that this
great battle was "mere moonshine." What
extreme satisfaction it mnst be to the friends
of the dead, to the friends of the wounded. and to
the friends of those who fought for three days
against the most inveterate foe that has been
marshal led for the destruction of the Union,to
learn that all this suffering and deprivation
has been for "mere moonshine." Yea, it Is
-m?re moonshine" to leave thousands of onr
brave dead and wounded upon the battle field.
"Mere moonshine" to defeat and drive back
over the Potomac, with a loss of perhaps near
one half of his army, Lee and his ' marauders
who invaded Pennsylvania. This may all ap
pear as "mere moonshine" in the eyes of our
neighbors, but we presume there is room for
regret on the part of Lec, Jeff Davis & Co.,
who, no doubt, would be very much elated,
should tbey have an opportunity of perusing
the Clearfield organ, to learn that the great
battle near Gettysburg, "has turned out," af
ter all, "mete moonshine." Indeed, we should
not be surprised if the Rebel Congress would
award those astute editors a leather medal,
with a rattlesnake on one side and a copper
head on the reverse, for their most astonish
ing and unparalleled discovery. They cer
tainly deserve some consideration at the hauds
of their dear "southern brothers," and we
think that Jeff would be a most despicable Mi
grate it he does not the amende honorable to
our neighbors for their consolatory epistle
especially, when he remembers, that "some"
of the "readers" of the organ may have been
deceived and discouraged by a former publi
cation. But, then, that was "not ;heir fault,
it was done inadvertantly. They by mistake
got hold of some lying correspondents produc
tion, who had not the fear of brother Jeff be
fore his eyes; and hence the misstatement.,
They have acknowledged their error, have
repented in -'sackcloth and ashes," yea,crav
edinthe dirt, and offered an explanation lo some
of their readers, for the great wrong they com
mitted against the authorities at Richmond.
Thus, it will be seen, that our neighbors
have extricated themselves from a great res
ponsibility by making a proper acknowledg
ment ; and,' we presume that, hereafter they
will be more careful. In fact, to avoid future
trouble and difficulty, they should make ar
rangements to get the Richmond Enquirer,
which, perhaps, may contain more genial news,
than can be gathered from any other source.
We will give an extract from the Enquirer of
July 8th, in relation to the great bJtlle at
Gettysburg, as a sample, to wit :
"Our loss i. estimated at 10,000 at the baf
fle of Gettysburg. . . . The Yankee army is
estimated at 175,000. . . . We captured 40,
000 prisoners."
Certainly, that is not "mere moonshine,"
for it comes from "Brother" Jeffs organ, and
hence is re-Zie-ahle ; and perhaps, in the fu
ture our neighbors will have no reason to re
pent for publishing accounts unfavorable to
their cause, nor be necessitated to offer apolo
gies to some of their readers.
A TERRIBLE OUTRAGE.
Coffioth, the copperhead Congressman from
the Adams district, was in the State capital
on Saturday the 11th inst., seeking some official
before whom he could pour out a protest a
gainst the action of certain Federal soldier.
It seems that after the bloody battle at Get
tysburg, where the fate of the nation was set
tled in the blood ot its bravest sons, and where
the national authority was vindicated by the
laying down of thousands of noble lives, free
offerings to the Union that that Union might
survive the threats of traitors it seems that,
after all this, some of our soldiers use'd the
fence rails of certain farmers in the vicinity
to build tires by which to warm their weary
limbs during the chilling darkness which fol
lowed the day of that fearful battle, and it
also seems that they refreshed themselves by
drinking the buttermilk ot some of the far
mers of Adams county, without first deigning
to settle for the beverag". This is an outrage
which Coffroth seeks to redress. What mat
ters it to him, that the men who are guilty ol
this "gross excess" perilled their lives in
beating back the rebel invader? That don't
pay for the fence rails and buttermilk! What
matters it if the rebels bad succeeded in gain
ing a footing in Adams county, to devastate
and destroy all within its limits? Still that
don't justify a Federal soldier to warm him
self by the fire of a copperhead's fence rail or
quench his powder parched throat with a quaff
of a copperhead's butter milk.
We are enable to state whether Coffroth
succeeded in convincing the military author
ities that they should pay for the fence rails
and butter milk destroyed while defeating the
rebel invader. When we become apprised of
the fact, we will inform onr readers. In the
meantime, we give Coffroth joy on the subject
of fence rails and butter milk. Telegraph. ,
Hundreds of Rebel Deserters, we are in
formed by a gentleman in whose veracity we
have confidence, are actually now engaged in
assisting the farmers of York, Cumberland
and Adams counties to gather their harvests.
It this is 8o,peace, when it comes, will bring
with it genial joys, the generous feedings ot
friendship and fraternal reciprocity, which so
many good men have feared would never a
gain be established between the revolted and
the loyal States. Telegraph;
HOW RIOTS AND PARTY MEASURES ARE
"WORKED UP."
The best account ot bow wire pullers like
Fernando Wood make nominations and ex
cite the dregs of the populace to deeds of vi
olence which will further their ends, is found
in George William Curtis's novel of "Tri
umphs." The case there described is that of
nominating a member of Congress. The lea
ders of the party have a sociable dinner and
fix on their man ; one or two of the most en
ergetic, accomplished and diplomatic of the
wire pullers then proceed to get their candi
date's name before "the people.'' This is
done by going to the rum-holes, gambling
bells, and other resorts of Ward politicians,
and quietly paying tho leading demagogues
and bullies in each Precinct to have their
gangs ready to elect the right delegates to
the Nominating Convention. Of course with
the strings all pulled right, the nomination is
easily brought about in the Convention, and
the result is looked on as the act of the mass
es themselves. Mr. Curtis, in a few felicit
ous touches, describes the entire operation,
and we have no doubt but that his picture
was drawn from actual life in New York.
The Peace Party in New YorkJuve been
working up the movement which culminated
on Monday tho 13th, for many months. Their
newspaper organs have been "fixed," and have
done the work of the rebels well. Their mass
meetings have all been "seen to," and their
great Peace Convention has been held. The
next step was to plunge the mib iuto violence
whenever their passions had been sufficiently
excited, and whenever something tangible
was to be attacked. The draft presented the
point of assault, and the leaders passed the
word tothoir oubordinate bullies and assassins
to begin the work on Monday. One of the
underlings, a Virginia rebel, named Andrews,
showud the hand of the Joabs who manipula
ted the affair during the afternoon, as will be
seen lrom the following statement by the re
porter of the Express. The scene was in
Third Avenue, where a block ol buildings
was burning, and after murder and violence
had raged for several hours. The Express re
porter says ;
"About this period Mr. Andrews, of Vir
ginia,, ascended a sbanly which stood oppo
site the burning ruins, where thousands wre
assembled. Behind this was an open space
ol unlillcd ground ocenpie-d by dense masses,
whom Mr. Andrews proceeded to address :
"He wished he had the lungs of a Stenror,
and that there was a reporter present to take
down his words. He said he had lately ad
dressed them at a meeting at tile Cooper In
stitute, where he told them Mr. Lincoln
wanted to tear the hard working man from
his wife and family and send him to the war.
He denounced Mr. Lincoln for his conscrip
tion bill, which was in favor of the rich and
against the poor man. lie called him a Nero
and a Caligula for such a measure. Had the
country not given to this war plenty of men ?
Were they more liberal in supplying men and
money in the lime of their Revolutionary
fathers, or in their war w.ith England in 1812,
than in the present unhappy struggle ? Certainly-
not. He then advised the people to
orgauize to resist the draft, and appoint their
leader; and, if necessary, he would be their
leadet. Uproarous cheering."
Sly leaders like Fernando and Ben. Wood
do not appear amid such scenes and urge
their victims toassassination and other dread
ful crimes. They have their executive tools,
into whose hands they give such rough work.
But the money to pay the brawny desperadoes
and the women of bad character who personal
ly urge on the mob, comes from these head
men, while the inspiration of the flaming edi
torials and speeches which madden the lero
cious masses proceeds directly from the lead
ers. The authorities are powerless against
the covert operations of which we have spo
ken, but the overt act is within their ken, and
they must resolutely put such acts down un
less they wish the city of New York to pass
from the control of the State of New York,
and of the United States, into the hands of
traitors and villians like those who have rais
ed this storm. No act of suppression can be
too rigorous, if New York is to be saved from
such scenes as were witnessed in Paris during
the Reign of Terror, which, beginning with
the murder of aristocrats, proceeded to the
slaughter of the demagogues who had ridden
the rising storm, and culminated in leaving
the mob beneath the heel ot a despotism near
ly as terrible s that from which they had es
caped at the opening of the Revolution.
GREAT INTERNATIONAL WHEAT SHOW.
A great International Wheat Show will he
held at Rochester, N. Y-, September 8th. 9th,
and 10th, under the auapices of the Monroe
County Argicultnral Society. The followiug
premiums are offered :
For the Best 20 bushels of White Winter
Wheat, . . . . . $ 150 00
For the Second Best do. do. 75 00
For the Best 20 Bushels Red Winter
Wh.at, . . . 100 00
For he Second Best do. do. 50 00
For the Best 2 Bushels White Winter

Wheat, . ... 40 00
For the Second Best do. do. 20 00
For the Best 2 Bushels Spring Wheat 20 00
For the Second Best do. do. 10 00
Competitors for these Priz -s will be requir
ed to furnish samples of the wheat in the ear
and with the straw attached, (say 50 ears of
wheat and straw), also to furnish a written
statement of the nature of the soil on which
the wheat grew, method of cultivation, time
of sowing, quanity of seed sown, manures (if
any used,) and mode and time ot application;
also the time of ripening aud harvesting, and
the yield per aero, with such other particulars
as may be deemed of practical importance;
also the name by which the variety is known
in the locality where it was grown.
The Wheat must be one variety, pure and
unmixed. The prize to be awarded to the
actual grower ot the wheat.and the wheat which
takes a prize is to become the property of the
Society. ,
It is hoped that farmers in all sections of
the United States and Canada,, who have good
samples of wheat, will compete for these Prizes.
We have never jet had a good Wheat Show
in the United States. It is highly important
that the wheat growers of the country should
meet together and compare samples of wheat
raised in different sections. We understand
that the money tor these premiums has been
raised by subscription, among th. friends of
Agriculture jo Western New York, and the
time of holding the Fair has been fixed so as
to enable farmers to purchase their seed from
the wheat entered for competition. A change
ot seed is always desirable, and it is believed
that all the wheat of good quality sent to the
fair will find purchasers at a high price. Full
particulars can be obtained by addressing the
President of the Society, Joseph Harris, Ed
itor Genesee Farmer, Rochester, N.Y.
THE REBELLION.
FROM GEN. MEADE'S ARM V.
LEE KECROSSES THE RIVER.
Gen. Meade's Movements to Intercept
Lee and cut off his Retreat.
On Monday the 13tU and during the night
following Geu. Lee recrossd the Potomac by
a p'-ntoon at Falling Waters,- and on flatboats
at Williamsport ferry. His trains, with plun
der, etc., were sent across previously by ford
ing the river, at a stage bf 4t( to 5 feet .of
water. Some of his wagons containing woun
ded were sept down stream and some of the
wounded were drowned. On Tuesday morn
ing our army moved fotward to make an at
tack but found the rebel entrenchments vaca
ted ,- one brigade of 1,500 men, two guns, two
caissons, two battle flags, and a large number
of small arms were, however, captured at
Falling Waters that morning. Gen. Meade on
finding that the rebels had made their escape,
at once put his army in motion for a new base
of operations, and is likely yet to succeed in
destroying a large portion of the remnants of
Lee's army. A
Meade had determined to attack Lee on
Monday, but finding that sme of his Generals
were averse to it, he called a council of war,
when it was ascertained that half of them were
against an attack, hence it was delayed, and
in the meantime the rwbels affected their es
cape. The whereabouts of the Army of the Poto
mac is not d'finately stated, but it would ap
pear that our cavalry hold nearly all tho p is
ss in Blue Ridge down to below Maniss-is.
At last accounts it was supposed that Lee was
making for Culpepper and Gordensyille, with
the fragment of nis army, which is said to be
much demoralized, and marching without
any order.
Several days since Gen Gregg crossed at
Falling Waters, and for six hours be was cut
offfroni communication with our army, but
he finally relieved himself by a gallant charge
upon the rebels, capturing a large number of
prisoners, three stands of colors and lour pie
ces of artillery.
MORGAN'S BAM) BROKEN UP.
An unsuccessful Attempt to Cross the
Ohio River.
150 Rebels killed and Drowned, and
over 1,300 Captured.
On Saturday the 18th Morgan's forces were
overtaken by nobson and Judah. Morgan
finding himself in close quarters, broke up bis
band in small squads and tried to make his es
cape. A portion of them tried to cross the
river at Buffington Island, but our gunboats
drove them back with a loss of 150 killed and
drowned. At this juncture our cavalry made
a charge, and killed a number of the rebvls
and captured six cannon. CoPs Walford and
Shackelford succeeded in capturing over 1,
800 prisoners. The balance of Morgan 's band ,
which is entirely broken up, is scatered a
mong the hills, most t.f whom will be captured
by our cavalry, who are in pursuit. Col.
Dick Morgan, a brother . of John, and Cols
Ward aud Grigsby are among the prisoners.

THE SURRENDER OF PORT HUDSON.
7,000 Prisoners, (JO Guns, and10,000
Small Anus Captured.
Port Hudson was surrendered to Maj. Gen.
Banks-on the 8th July by Maj. Gen. Gardner
the latter having sent a flag of truce to our
Hues on the day previous, asking conditions.
Tho surrender was unconditional, and the en
tire garrison, consisting of about 7 000 men,
35 field pieces, 25 siege guns, and 10;000 small
arms, are the trophies of this victory.
By the fall of Port Hudson and Vicksbure,
the Mississippi river has been once more open
ed to the trace of the great west which, per
haps, is more damagiug to the rebel cause
than anything that has befel them sinco the
commencement of the rebellion.
The Rebel Ilaid into Pennsylvania.
LEE'S LOSES 42,500.
Surgeon General Howard, of he United
States Aamy, arrived at Baltimore on the lGth,
and had an interview wiih Major General
Scbenk. Upon unquestionable authority he
reports the following casualties of Gen. Lee's
army at Gettysburg: Left behind 11,000 woun
ded, 8,000 wounded taken away by him. 4,
500 buried by the Federals, and 17,000 taken
prisoners ; captured at Falling Waters.ol Gen.
Pettigru's command, 1,000 prisoners and 1.
000 killed and wounded making an aggregate
of 42,500 of Lee's army.
ANOTITER VICTORY.
Gen. Sherman Surrounds and Captures
0,000 Rebels.
A Vicksburg letter states that on the 5th
General Sherman crossed the Big Black, and
attacked the rear guard of Johnston's army,
and after a severe tight, surrounded and cap
tured 6,000 rebels; comprising infantry, ar
tillery and cavalry. Johnston continued bis
retreat across Pearl river.
TJIE ATTACK ON CHARLESTON.
Our Monitor fleet commenced the attack on
Morris Island on Friday the 10th, and at last
accounts bad carried alt the batteries on the
Island but one. Some of our Mouitors also
made a breach into the South wall of Fort
Sumter. Jbus far the siege of Charleston has
been successful, and little doubt is entertain,!
