October 29 The unusual quiet of the past broken vesterdav hv Gill- more's new batteries, which opened on Fort Sumter and on Fort Moultrie and Johnson and the batteries about those works. The rebels replied to our fire, but with little accur acy. Oar fire, has been quite sharp and toler- ni.ir effective. The bricks on Fort burater flew In clouds, and it was the epiniou of one of our general officers that it was quite as safe to be outside of that work as inside. It must have been very hot for the inmates ot tbo fort, if fragments of shot and shell, bricks, mortar . and splinters can bring about such a state of affairs. The fire upon Moultrie and Johnson had the desired effect. The rebels fired fee bty and inaccurately. Not a casualty occured on our side during the day. Our Farrotts are talking as loudly as ever, but with what results have not been learned. . One thing is certain, the rebels have Leon checked in anv efforts they may havo made to erect a battery within the work, and the rhacces are that such a work is already de stroyed by the shot and shell now raining in to the fort. The scene daily witnessed is in no ways different from the one described. Perhaps heavier masses -of -masonry are de tached, and more brick dust is thrown in the air by our heavy projectiles, than in the first bombardment, because the range is nearly two-thirds shorter than before, and the force of impact is correspondingly increased. Sum. iter has not replied, nor is it likely that the enemy can much longer maintain possession of the work. But we 6ha!l see in due time what is to be accomplished. The weather is now cool and bracing. We are looking for the first irost with a good deal of anxiety, as by it alone shall we get rid of malarial diseas ea, which prevail among the command. One of our guns was firing upon the city ol Charleston when the Arago sailed, with what result cannot yet be stated. St. Michael's t -spire is the target for onr fire. A gallant and successful movement has taken place at Chattanooga. A detachment of the 11th Ohio, under Col. Stanly, succeeded in floating fifty -pontoons down the river in face oi the -enemy, when Gen. Ilazen, with 2,000 of Gen. Palmer's division, attacked the Rebels on Lookout Mountain, and drove them irorn their position. Our loss was only five killed and fifteen wouuded. Communication was thus secured with Bridgeport, along the Chattanooga River. Gen. Palmer has been assigned to the command of the Fourteenth Army Corps. Lookout Mounta-iB ts ours. Ttie -enemy has fallen uack wKherit resistance. The river and railroad is unmolested. Oar troops hold the south side of the river from Bridgeport to Chattanooga. Gen. Hooker on the 28tb, at midnight, was attacked by the enemy, lie repulsed them at every point and fonght till 4 o .clock a. m. This movement relieves the army ot the Cumberland from obstruction to communications by the opening of the river to Chattanooga. Wk see by our exchanges, tbat that stern soldier and sterling patriot, Brig. General Steadhan, of Ohio, lias been indulging in a characteristic speech in Toledo, in which he paid particular attention to the Copperhead, reiterating at the same time the praiseworthy principles of the war Democrats. Gen, Steab ji an ha3 long been knowu to the Ohioans, as a xuan of "irrepressible temperament" what be .say 8 be means, exactly, and his band is swrft o clinch his word in hearty honest practice. The General talks as well as he fights with an earnestness not to be. gainsaid, or misunder stood even for a moment. Pillsb Commercial. Tosvicted. John R. Forrest, whoso arrest, .with that of his wife, for robbing the mails at Perrine, Mercer county. Pa., we noticed a few weeks ago, was tried at the October term of the United States District Court at Pitts burg, was found guilty, and sentenced to ten year's imprisonment in the Western Peniten tiary -ot Pennsylvania. Hi8 wife was acquit ted on the ground of acting under the presum ed .coercion of her husband. . - , . . The contract lor disinterring the bodies of our Boldiers on the Gettysburg battlefield ,and .at tbo hospitals there,' and again interring .them in the Soldier's National Cemetry, has bean awarded to John fJoke and Frank lin Bie eecker.of Gettysburg.at $1 59 per body. The jvork is to be commenced immediately. Gev. Cortih. A report gained circulation a few days ago that Gov. Curtin had died. There is no truth in the report. On the con trary, be must" be in good health, judging from the.Tact"T3e" addressed a large Union jmeeting at Elmira, X.'.Y-, on Friday evening, mi ob Saturday addressed another at Buffalo. ' The 5-20 Boxfcs. On Saturday last the sale . "of 5-20 Bonds amounted to $16,500,000, mak ing total sales of the week $oG,000,00Q. But 150,000,000 of the bonds remain unsold. ' ' 'West 'Virginia follows. Pennsylvania and Ohio, and elects by ; large t majorities Blair, Brown- and : Whaley, -unconditional Unioa en, to the next Congress The cry of "proscription" has always been a favorite one with the orgaus of the so-call ed Democratic party, and yet tho fact is that they are themselves guilty of that which they affect to denounce and deprecate. Nor is there any one more virulent fa this res pect than the Clearfield Republican, the Copperhead organ in thra place. In its is sue of June 10th will be found a leading editorial, grossly abusive of, and advising the patrons of that delectable .sheet to withdraw material support from a respectable clergy man, for preaching a sermon in which he urg ed upon his hearers ebedieuce to the pow ers that be." The editors of the Republican, in that article say : . The only way to reach this class of crea tures is to stop their pay, and stay away from these .gatherings, and allow the Abolitionists "to -make up their quarterage. Short pay is tho sorest affliction you can visit upon an ab olition clergyman. It robs him of his con science and his commission to commit evil under guise of a Godly carb and renders hiaa a fit suliject for an army Chaplain, or a reviler of the christian religion, in both of which ca pacities he can be properly avoided and thus rendered incompetent to commit wrong uaoier the cloak of religion." Base as is the slur that a man devoid of conscience and a "reviler of the christian re ligion" is "a fit subject for an army chaplain," it accords well with the character of editors who advise their friends to "stop the pay" of clergymen because tho latter do not contend, like themselves, that slavery is "divinely sanctioned, if not divinely ordained," and ex tend the aid of their sympathy at least to tho Rebels of the South. Again iu the Republican of September 16tb is an editorial item setting forth that Mr. A II. Franciscns, of Philadelphia, discontinued bis advertisement in the Johnstown Democrat, because bo did not consider it a loyal sheet, and advising the "Democratic merchants ef Clearfield county" to stop dealing with him. "Of course," say the editors of the Repub lican, "Mr. Franciscus wants none but Aboli tion customers, cone but Abolition money and this is fair notice to the many Democratic merchants of Clearfk-M county who havo dealt with him that their custom is no longer desired by him." And yet. in the very next sentence, after advising their political friends' to proscribe Mr. Franciscus in his business, they pharasai cally turn round and prate about "proscrip tion." Every honest raau ia our county Democrat as well as Kepublican will, we have no doubt, readily penetrate, and treat accordingly, such transparent political hypoc risy. The eflort of the editors of the Copperhead organ to explain away their attack upon Mr. Galer, of Fhilipsburg, does not help the mat ter a tittle. In their pitiful defence they do not pretend to say that they would not pro scribe Mr. Galer in his business if he bad ta ken any part in putting up the flag which gave them such mortal offence; for they simply transfer their enmity to Mr. E. W. Hale, who voluntarily assumes the responsibility of the act. Here is what they say about the matter : "A Mr. Halo, it seems by the tfollowing card, assumes the whole responsibility, total ly exhohorating Mr. Galer -from all blame. t'or thi ho deserves credit. But for the act itself he deserves the contempt of all fair minded men and should he permitted to sell his store-goods to Abolitionists alone." This language is plain and -cannot " be mis understood. Our Copperhead neighbors here advise the withdrawal of ''Democratic" cus tom from Mr. Hale, just as they did from Mr. Franciscus, and as they had previously done in regard to Mr. Galer. Nor are they content with endeavoring to injure men in their bneiness because they see fit to entertain political and religious views differing with their cwn. They also attempt to carry their proscriptrve ideas sto the so cial circle, and hence we find in the Republi can of the 19th of October, what jrurports to be a communication, written at "Crooked Run," (a rather signiScarrt name,) which is as follows : "Messrs. Editors . Sirs : It is reported in this vicinity that the Republican Ladies of your town held a meeting the other evening and passed a resolution that they would not associate with Democrats, or "Copperheads," anv more. Now: if that report is tree, we would like to know it, so as not to insu It the dignity of any person in that place by try ing to associate with them. Yours, &c, R." Crooked Run, Oct. 10, 18C3. The editors of the Copperhead organ knew that.no such meeting had boeu hold that, If such a report was in circulation, it was a mere fabrication. And yet, they unblushing ly give countenance to, if they are nJt them selves the authors of this low, dirty effort to stir up strife and ill-focling amongst our citi zens, by alleging that they bad "heard similar " reports ; and farther, That such display of " 'dignity' was not confined to the 'weaker sex'." Far as they have gone -to injure men in their business, we were not prepared to find them so utterly and hopelessly devoid of a41 sense of shame and manhood as they have shown themselves in this last pitiful, dis graceful attempt to disturb tho kindly social relations which Lave heretofore prevailed among the citizens of our own town to an eminent degree. It will thus be eeen that they have carried their politics into religion,into business, and into the social -circle broadly advocating the proscription of all who -see proper conscien tiously to differ from them . Preachers, busi ness men, and ladies, who are not of their ilk., are alike unworthy of the countenance, pat ronage, and association of "Democrats," ac cording to Copperhead ethics.. It is time that people who havo regard . for the prosperity, peace and quiet of the oomtauuity, skoold o pen their eyes to the fact of this persistent ef fort upon the part of these Copperhead odU tors, to carry politics hi to every department of social, religious, and business life, and t stir up strife, opposition and trouble among every class of our citizens. They may possi bly persist io their etiort until retaliation up oa the part of those proscribed will become a necessity, in which event they may find that their practice had better have corresponded with their theory. - RUSSELL tt'MVBHAY. WU,it seems that we have "gone and done it." We have again oRended the amiable ed itors of the Copper-bead organ ia this place, and caused thou te wriggle and cont-wrt ia a style that does honor to the snake tribe gen erally. We confess, however, that we did it accidentally, and hence claim no particular credit for this performance. The cause of of fence was an article, in our issue of Oct. 21st, in which we exposed the conduct of the New.) Washington Election Board, who refused to allow certain persens to vote who had been regularly assessed aud paid taxes, incidentally using the name of the Assessor, Mr Russell M'Murray. This is construed by thexe astute Copperhead editors to bo a "very mean" aud "viliaintms assault" upon the Assessor. Here is what they say : "The last issue of the Journal contained a very mean assault upon Mr.Russell M'Murray, Assessor of New Washington, charging him, at least by implication, with purposely refusing to make timely return of the names of two persons on the "ten days" assessment of that borough. This assault is villainous, simply because the writer knew Mr. M'Murray to be one of our most respectable, upright, honest and conscientious citizens, and no political or mercenary influence could sway him from tbe path of rectitude. Mr. M'Murray did not re fuse to make the proper return. This we as ert on our knowledge of the man. If, how ever, through negligence, or any cause, he failed to do what the law required -at hwa, he is amenable to tho law but not to a fiu lt-tad - ing blackguard newspaper scribbler." That, we shou-ld thiak, was expressing ideas in the vernacular, and we would consider our selves precious bad fellows if the charges here preferred were true. But it so happens that tiie allegations of tho editors of the copper head organ are basely false. We did uot, e ven "by implication," charge Mr. M'Murray with "purposely refusing to make timely re turns" of the names of certain persons. What we did say was in these exact words : "Ten days before the election a number of Union men applied to Russell M'Murray, tho Assessor, and were regularly assessed, and paid their taxes to the Collector. When they came to the polls to vote, they were refused, because M'Murray had not relumed the list to the Commissioners eight days before the election! Two Woodward ites, who were on the same list," assessed ia tho same way, were permitted to vote." Any man, with a grain of common sense,, can thus see that we found no fault with Mr. M'Murray. We said, in so tcai:y words, that a number of persons were "regularly assessed' by Mr. M'Murray, and that when they came to the polls tovote.they weie refused; By whom? By Thomas Mehafley,Keubeii Neioieu aud Jo seph Broth, a copperhead Election Board; For uhal reason ? "Because Mr. M'Murray baS not returned the list to tho Commissioners eight days before the election 1" It was the action of the Election Eard, in refusing to al low persons to vote who were "regularly as sessed," that we complained of, and not of anything Mr. M'Murray did or failed to do. The charge, by "implication" ol "purposely relusiug" to make return of the ten-day's as- sessment,was made by the Election Board, for the purpose of preventing men, justly and le gally entitled to vote, from exercising that right, aud tire individual who is guilty of dis torting our language, as it has been distorted by the writer of the article in the last Copper head organ, and expects his version to be be lieved, must place a very low estimate upon the intelligence of the people of this county. "A BIG THING Off SNYDER." The last Copperhead oraa tells a story a bout the hlection Board in Burnside township, Miich it is almost a pity to spoil by correcting its misstatements. It sets forth that a Mr. "Clear," who expressed his belief that he had no lawful right to vote, was challenged, and that whilst the Election Board were consult ing on the subject, "a leading Abolitionist" ordered the "Abolition Inspector to put the tickets into the box" and that this he did, be fore tho Beard had come to a conclusion. This is, substant!aKysth3 story of the Copper head organ. The facts aro simply thus Mr. John Cleary.son of Rev. Jas. Cleary, was tho soldier who offered to vote. When he was chal lenged, a copy of the Patriot and Union, con taining Judge Woodward's decision, relative to the right of soldier's to vote, was handed the Board, and w-hi'Ist they were endeavoring to gain such light from this precious docu ment as might guide thera in the Caee before them, the tickets, which were lying on 'the box, were pushed in by Othello Smead, tbo Copperhead Inspector, he supposing it to -be a Woodward ticket. These are the facts as eta ted to ns by a responsible gentleman, who was present ard saw tho whole trausaction. When the "suaiks" over the way hereafter attempt to make capital out of an affair f this kind, they had better take care to see that none of their own friends are as deeply implicated as ibey are in this instance. . - Who is He ! On the fluid of Gettysburg, alter tbo battles, the dead body of a Union soldier was found, holding in his clasped baiwls an ambrotype of three children, a girl and two boys, aged apparently about nine, seven and five years. In tho picture, tho youngest child, a boy, is seated in a high chatr, between his elder brother and his -sister, while tho dresses ot the two latter are made el the same material. The soldier was buried on the field where ho fell, and his grave is marked, but his name could, not be ascertained. It is hoped, however, that he aiay yet be identified by means of the ambro type of tbo children found in his hands when his body was discovered. The picture is now ia possession of Dr. Bourns, 1104 Spring Gar den street, Philadelphia, who can be called upon or addressed in reference to it. it is estimated that the mineral wealth ot Nevada territory will be sufficient to pay a national debt of $20,000,000,000,to give every returning soldier a musKet or silver and to furnish all our iron clads with a plating of sil ver thicker than their present covering of irou. At that rale, baukruptcy doesn't seotu to be immiueut. SERENADE TO GEN. STEADMAN. Brig. Gen. Steadman, of th Army of the Cumberland, arrived in Clearfield on Wednes day last, on a visit to bis wife and son, who have been spending the summer in our town. The General looks well, notwithstanding the hardships through which he has so recently passed. As all our readers know, he has be haved with distinguished gallantry from the commencement of the present war, and es pecially in the lato battle of Chickamauga, aud has won lor himself a proud uamo in the galaxy of our country's heroes. On Thursday evening, a number of our most respectable citizens, having improvised a baud for the occasion, proceeded to serenade the General. Alter the band had played several -tunes, iu response to repeated calls General Steadmen made his appearance, and was received with three hearty cheers. He spoke, substantially, as follows : Ftixow Citizens: I thank you for this compliment. To receive such a compliment from any portion ot the citizens ot my coun try, is gratify ing, but it is especially so.com- iug from citizens of Pennsj lvania, tho State in which I was born, and ol which I have so just reason to feel proud. For,iu the great contest in which we are engaged, the Keystone State has not disgraced herself. She has borne a noble, loyal liout, and her sons have shed lustre upou the National arms on every battle field. I cannot be expected to make you a speech 1 am but an humble soldier, whoso highest aspiration is to discharge the duty devolving upon hiiu from his connexion with tho army ot the Country. I am absent from that army but fur a brief season (my furlough being only for twenty days) to teek repose with my family and friends. 1 sijalLsouu return to the tented field whither duty calls me, aud it is, therefore, Hot my province U discuss any ot the political questions that divide tho community at Louie. We, iu the army, do not discuss those questious. We hear of your diviaiMtns, wUich we deprecate aud deeply re greU We are anxious tbat this wur should bo brought to a speedy aud successful termina tion, and hence we desire the people to he united and harmonious in assisting us to ac complish this great object. Wo know that our friends at home, who are watching, with anxiety aud solicitude our fate, belong to diSereut parlies and divisions, but we would have them, like us in tho army, though made up of representatives lrom every political party, united in the one great work of crush ing out the rebellion. 1 think we in the army, have moro confi dence in tho accomplishment of this great ob ject, thau.you have at home. We believe our selves competeut to perform the task we have undertaken, and have no doubts whatever, as to the ultimate result. If the people at home, were equally united and confident, that result would not be so lax distaut. I thiak I fcee now above the horizon a little cloud, not a black one,but a white cloud that will do more to purify our atmosphere,1 and produce such a healthy coudition ot thiugs as will bring our iuternal strife to a speedy termination, than any other circum stance that has occurred during the history of our str-He. I think I see Louis Napoleon preparlog to stick his long nose into our af fairs, and if be does so, he will most assuredly get it broken. From this cloud of threatened foreign intervention, I anticipate tle happiest j results. You know when a family gets to quarrelling, and the neighbors begin to inter- , lerehe family universally drops its own quar- tel to punish the neighbors. Just so,we have reason to believe, it will be with i orign In tervention. Tho dissensions aud divisions; among us will speedily end. Party will be for gotten in a common effort against the common enemy. ith our country on a war tooting un paralellcd in the history of the world able to whiten every sea with our extensive navies and send thousands of privateers to prey upon their commerce 'foreign intervention' anil domestic war will lie f but short duration. Our country will eotuo ut of tho contest tri umphant. The mighty oak over which thei storm has past, may be stripped of its leaves and ' branches, but tbe trunk is still alive, and very soon its growth, freshness, and beauty Will be more laxurient than ever. And thus though this storm which is now passing over our laud, 1 will leave its scars and traces though many of the cation's gallant heroes will havo fallen, but a short time will eiapso, until stronger, mightier, grsnder than ever, she will leap for ward in the career of g'lory and prosperity that lies before her, until her flag shall float in triumph over an almost boundless continent. Coming so recently from the field of Chick amauga, you will doubtless expect to hear lrom mo some account of the battle, and of the scenes through which I passed. But tho details have already been published in tho press of the country. Maeh has beeu pub lished, it is true, that will never pass into his tory, but the leading features of the contest, and ol tho achievements of the army ot the Cumberlaud, have been given, and yem can read the account tor yourselves. There is one misapprehension existing iu the public mind, however, which I will take this opportunity to correct. It is supposed by many persons.ttiat Gen. Rojecrans occupied Chattanooga, ad vanced from there to Chickamauga, was de feated, and forced to fall back to Chattanooga. This is oot tho case. Tho army of General Rosecrans never occupied Chittanooga at all, until after tho battle of Chickaiauga. Tho army of the CunberlanJ advanced, with its lett wing touching Chattanooga, its centre crossing Lookout Mountain, through Frick's Gap until it rested at Chickamauga Hills. Bragg finding that he would be surrounded, abandoned Chattanooga, and retreated to tbe East Chickamauga, where ho was reinforc ed by Longstreet's corps, from the army of tho Potomac 20,000, by Buckner, lrom East Tennessee, ,000, Breckinridge and Hindman from Jo. Johnston's army 12,000, two Brigades from Charleston, and 15,000 Ueorgia btato JUUitia. Huh Ins combined forces he delivered battle at Chickamauga. There is no disguising the fact, that our right aud left wings were successively broken, and compelled to retreat, but the centre main tained its ground. withstood tbe attack of the entire Rebel host, and saved the Federal army lrom disaster aud defeat. For at least a day md. a half after the battle, our a-rmy re mained on Mission Ridge, awaitine another attack ot the combined, and greatly superior jorces or the enemy, but awaited it in vain Then, and net till then, Gen. Rosecrans re tired to Chattanooga, and occupied it, that being the object of his mission tho original design of the campaign. I can assure you that there was nothing done on the field of Chickamauga of which any loyal citizen need be asnamed. Thanking you again for the compliment vou have paid me, I bid you, fellow cUUeos, god uignt. The General's remarks wero interrupted by frequent and enthusiastic applause. At tho close, the crowd, gave him . three cheers, and quietly dispersed. " . ' It is stated that the income of the Gov ernment from alt sources is aow equal to tho aggregate expenditure..
