CLEARFIELD. PA.. DEO. 9, 1863.
"' WHAT HAS BEEIT DONE. .
Since this gloriou year opened, tbe Union
armies hava cleared the Mississippi of Kebels,
'taking 25.000 prisoners "at Vicksburg and 5,
; 000 at Port Hudson. They have captured
more than three hundred cannon from the Reb
els, and not lost to them halt that number.
.Tbey have beaten them in the East on tbe
desperate field of Gettysburg, in the West in
half a dozen serious fights, including the late
brilliant triumph on Lookout Mountain and
Missionary Kidge, driving Briigg's army like
sheep, and capturing more thin forty of its
guns. We have recovered nearly all of Ten
nessee, two-thirds of Arkansas, a large part
of Mississippi and Louisiana, and tbe south
western quarter of Texas. Last New-Year's,
we were mourning our late bloody repulse at
Fredericksburg ; now wo are on every side
triuuj-pbaiit and advancing.
What a Volunteer Receives. The fol
lowing facts are given for the consideration
of who are volunteering. From them il will
Lb seen that it is as profitable as patriotic to
enter the army under the call lately made for
300,000 volunteers. Suppose the war last
three years, a recruit will get $23 43 per
month, with rations and all necessary medical
attendance. If the war lasts only one year,
he will receive $73 15 per month ; and it it
should close in three months, he would re
ceive $16-5 9-3 per month. Veterans will re
ceive, under the same contingencies, $27 GC,
$83, and $17.5 9" per mouth. Thus it will be
yeen that the inducements to volunteers are
great.
j jtt-
. Rebel Fiexuisuness. Uu the arrival ot our
army at tbe late battle-Held of Chickamauga,
after the repulse of Bragg by Gen. Giant, tua
liy of the dead Union soldiers were found
with their bodies mutillated and their heads
chopped off, which were stuck up on tumps
and poles. Such brutality Is beyond prece
dent ia the history of the war. And this is
the work ol tbe "chivalry," sometime de
nominated "dear Southern brothers" by Nor
thern !ympathizers. Shame on such outrages.
Gen. Butler is making his new department
pay its own way. ; Such charges as one dollar
for a Provost Marshal's pass, and one per cent
on all goods brought iuto his department for
sale, furnish a fund that goes towards defray
ing the expenses of improvement in the city
of Norfolk, and other outlays upon which he
has entered. Butler is engaged in raising a
negro cavalry force, and raised 107 in oner
week. The oath of allegiance is required
from everybody on going outside his lines.
Slaveholders in the Border States. It
is a note-worthy tact that thirty slaveholders
of Tennessee, have sent resolutions to Wash
ington, expressing themselves in favor of e
maocipatiou in that State, without compensa
tion. Nor is Missouri lagging behind in the
good work. Resolutions have been proposed
in her Legislature to instruct Senators and
Representatives to vote for an amendment to
the Constitution forever prohibitiag slavery
in tbe United States.
Sigmticaxt. The. Northern rebel-synipj-Ihiung
papers publish with great avidity any
w rong perpetrated by a Union man or a Union
soldier, but have nut a word of condemnation
for the rebel fiendisbness exhibited in cutting
off the beads and mutilating the bodies of
dead Union soldiers. Why is this 7 Is it be
cause their hearts are with rebels and their
traitor cause ?
Ar least forty thousand deserters from the
aiuiy of tbe Union, are believed to be- in Can
ada and tbe adjoining British provinces
They are not all skulkers, or "bounty junip
ers." , A large proportion of them are meu
who have overstayed their furloughs, and are
afraid to rejoin their regiments. .
The guerrillas, uuder a son of ex-Senator
Butler of South Carolina, surrounded the
house, at Tailequah, of JohnRoss son-in-law,
and bntcbered and robbed him and burnt his
bouse. Other Indians took refuge in Fort
Gibson. The Federal authorities did nothing.
The Chicago Tribune of Monday says that
during the forty-eight hours ending with Sun
day night last, o3,7C4 live hogs arrived in that
city. One eatablisutut alone received Ihirty
seven ear loads. The people thereabouts must
revel in spare-ribs and sausages.
' Seventy-eight rebel prisoners escaped from
Camp Douglas, Chicago, on Wednesday night,
December 2d, by digging a tunuei from the

' It is said,' that an immense fraud on the

CUKEK2JCY AS IT WAS, AND WILL BE
After a year or two shall have passed in the
use ol money, which every merchant and bu
siness man can trust as he receives it and as
be pays it, it will not bo easy to induce the
public to go back to the days of wild-cat cur
rency. The discounts now paid on the cur
rency received by a mercantile house in its
daily business amount to little or nothing, yet
for a long series of years in the past they
have constituted an important item iu the gen
eral calculation of a year's business. How
much, will it be supposed, is the aggregate of
loss from depreciated paper and broken banks
in the United States for tho last forty years
forty years of general peace and of general
progress ? No statistician has computed it,
nor is it easy to begin the calculation. In np
single year of this period has there been any
thing like unifoimity or reliability in the
values of the banknotes issued in different
parts of the United States. Ohio was the first
State to raise a crop of wild-cats ; next Ten
nessee and Kentucky bauk notes were at tbe
bottom of the list for a series of years, from
1820 forward, their notes vary ing from 20 to
70 per cent, discount in the eastern cities.
Next Alabama and Mississippi camo in to vie
with tbe States before named in tbe depth to
which their "money" could be made to sink
below par. Then came Michigan with the true
wild-cat currency j and close on her heels caifle
Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. The States
of Illinois and Iowa kept up the system with
great energy and singular success, raising
crops of banks at every ten years' interval, or
thereabouts, and gathering ample harvest of
depreciation and loss to all but the lucky mak
ers of money themselves.
What merchant is there of even ten years'
experience in business who'does not remem
ber, feelingly, that singular condition f the
'circulating medium" of the country 1 The
day of its reign is so recent, in fact, that
scarcely a year's release from it has yet been
experienced. That release came when the
terrible legal tenders were isAied. Whatever
harm they may have done to others, they
cured the troubles of business men wonder
fully. The producer and tbe puchaser alike
were relieved, and for the first time iu business
history it was known what was meant when a
sale or a purchase was made for a specified
number of dollars in hand to be paid. And
with every month's experience of the ease and
safety of the new order of things, the puplic
feeling is more and more directed tojeliauce
on it. There is one kind of currency that
will pass anywfiere, paying a traveler's fares
or a country merchant's debts, and there
yet remains a share of another curreucy which
half those you offer it to will tell you is
"played out." Few people have time to con
sult a detector as to the discount on the coun
tiv banks of remote States ; if the note that
is ollered has the United States stamp on it
hey are satisfied; if not, the chances are three
to one they will not touch it.
ro one .wno nas naa oxpciicuee or the pre
sent course of business preferences can bo
made to believe that there is to be any retro
grade movement to country bank uotes, and to
the old order of unsalable broods whole broods
of State system issues. There can be and
will be a currency with the stamp of United
States authority oc it, and this every mau will
seek and every man will trust.
Let any man who disbelieves these great facts
take a table of the prices of State issue bank
ofes at the commercial centres for the last
(orty or fifty years, and note the deep chasms
of worthlessncss constantly occuring in some
section, west or south, or north or east. The
banks that failed iu the year 1811 alone had
$121,500,000 of circulation, and $10,000,000
more was lost on the circulation of banks that
did not wholly fail. This is but a sample ot
the proceedings of several years, which many
can remember, and which those who expe
rienced in their fullest magnitude ot business
losses cau never forget. Such disasters were
the essential condition of the curreucy systems
under which they occured systems by which
pertiuacious applicants to State legislatures
could get charters to make money at almost
auy spot they should select, without giving
security to anybody that what they issued as
money would remain money any longer lhau it
was their interest it should , and they chanced
to have tbe power to "redeem" threo dollars
of issue with one of capital. To say tbat those
days are over is the briefest form of stating
the case as it is now.

THE WAR NEWS.
FB.0M THE EAPIDAW.
Meade's Ketrojxrade Movement.
As noticed last week, Gen. Meade crossed
the Rapidan in force, and bad several heavy
skirmishes with the enemy on Sunday the 29th.
It appears from dispatches, that it was
evidently intended to attack the enemy's ex
tended works on Monday. Cannonading was
opened from our batteries between 8 and 9 o'
clock, and the right wing skirmishers were ad
vanced to Mine Run, where it was found tbe
enemy bad built a succession of dams, which
raised the stream to a depth of from four to
five feet, with swampy margins. On our ex
treme right it was found tbe enemy had form
ed an abattis several hundred-yards in width
in front of their works, and directly under
their guns.
On the left, Gen. Warren moved forward
his line, and discovered the enemy in such
numbers and so strongly intrenched as to
make it more than hasardous to attack them
iu front. He however drove them back from
the advanced post behind their works, and a
waited further instructions. T heso and per
haps other considerations iduced a postpone
ment of the premediated attack.
The enemy occupied tho hills on the oppo
site side of Mine Run iu full force. This
Mream has sleep, craggy sides, and is difficult
of approach, which facts give the rebel arniy
great advantages as a defensive line and na
tural barrier. It was found impossible to
cross it with artillery and cavalry in the face
of an energetic enemy on the other side.
Tbe position of the enemy was naturally a
very strong one, and bo was found to be in
trenched along his entire line, his works being
a continuation of those on the Rapidan, to
turn which was the object of our army.
Tbe enemy's position was too formidable to
be carried by assault.
It is understood that Gen Meade visited
the entire line, carefully noting the enemy's
strong positions, formidable batteries and
earthworks, and in consideration of the great
difficulty of keeping up the supplies of tho
troops at this season of the year at any distauce
from the railroad as well as the impracticabil
ity of the country for offensive military opera
tions, after consulting with his officers, deem
ed it advisable to withdraw to tbe north side of
the Rapidan, and orders were accordingly is
sued to that eflect. Accordingly tho army
returned to the North side of the Rapidan.
Gen. Meade abandoned the campaign when
it became evident that the enemy had antici
pated his advance and tendered an approach to
Gordousville and Orange Court House an im
possibility. The tailing back toour present position Was
accomplished without loss of men or property.
The entire casualities during thj campaigu
will not exceed one thousand in killed, woun
2od and missing.
- a r,ur mon who fonted Mine nun and lay
on picket duty during Monday night, were
frozen to death, and several bodies of rebel
skirmishers were cariied to the rear on
streachcrs tbe same morning.
.With the exception of a few cavalry skir
mishes, the cnetuy did uol attempt to annoy
our rear on our return.
FROM CHATTANOOGA.
Dec. 1. Gen. Hooker and Palmer evacua
ted Ringgold this morning after burning the
mills, depots, public buildings, and railway
bridges. A cavalry recounoiasance, made for
a distance ot twenty-three miles southward,
disclosed no signs of the enemy ; but he was
fouud to be in force at Tunnel II ill The rail
road track fro i a Ringgold to Chickamauga has
been destroyed by order of General Hooker.
Col. Gross' brigade are engaged in bury
ing our dead on the old battle field of Chicka
mauga. A large number of bodies were left
uucovered by the rebels since that evmt,
which occurred on Sept. 20th, more than tvu
months ago. The heads of a number of our
soldiers on llio Chickamauga battle ffeld were
louud severed Iroin the body and stuck up on
stumps and poles.
Prisoners still come in in large numbers and
will foot up uear 7,000.
The mountains are full of Kentncky and
Tenuessee deserters trying to make their way
home.
Dec. 2. The storming of the Ridge in the
great battle belore Chattanooga, on the 26th,
is thus described by an officer in his report to
the War Department : "The storming of the
Ridge by our troops was one of tho greatest
miracles m military history. No man who
climbs the ascent, by any of the roads that
wind along its front, can believe that 18,000
men were moved upon its broken and crumb
ling face, unless it was his fortune to witness
the deed. It seems as awful as a visible in
terposition of God. Neither Gens. Grant
cor Thomas intended it. Their orders were
to carry the rifle pits along the base of the
ridgo, and cut ofTtheir occupants. But when
this was accomplished, the unaccountable
spirits ot the troops bore them boldly up the
impracticable steops, over the bristling rifle
.pit on the crest, and the thirty cannon enfi
lading every gully. The order to storm ap
pears to have been given simultaneously by
Gens. Sheridan and Wood, because the men
were not to be held back hopeless as the at
tempt appeared to military prudence; be
sides, the Generals caught the inspiration of
the men, and were ready themselves to under
take impossibilities."
Our casulties in the late battle were 4,500,
kiiled, wounded and taken prisoners. We
captured C,400 prisoners, and 46 guns rebel
killed and wauoded not ascertained. .
FROM KN0XYILLE:
Nov. 30. During Saturday night- (Nov.
28th,) tbe enemy made a general attack in
force on a large portion of our skirmishing
line, and, at about midnight, succeeded in
driving in our pickets. Tbi was iutended as
a feint to couceal tbe real point contemplated
for assault, and confuse our army. Cannona
ding and skirmishing continued during the
entire night.
Early in the morning the enemy charged in
strong force upon Gen. Ferrior's position, at
Fort Saunders. Tbey were met midway by a
murderous discharge of grape and canister,
and a steady fire from tbe rifle-pits, under
which tbey faltered, and finally fell back in
broken fragments, leaving two colonels, sever
al captains, and, in all, over a hundred dead
on the field. A considerable force reached
the port of the parapets, where tbe wounded
and dead were piled in an undistinguishable
mass.. We captured 234 prisoners, and the
loss of the enemy in the assault was not far
from 700, while that oh our side as less
than 25.
Gen. Burnside humanely pilered a truce to
Gen. Longstreet until 5 o'clock this afternoon,
to afford him an opportunity for the removal
of bis wounded and the burial of the dead.
The truce was accepted, and the time subse
quently extended for two hours. The rebel
wounded are being brought into our hospitals,
or conveyed in our ambulances to tbe ene
my's line.
Three stand of colors were captured from
the rebels.
On this (Monday) morning the weather is
clear with frost. All is quiet around our
lines.
LATER FROM CHARLESTON.
Advices have been received from Charles
ton to the afternoon of the 1st. Sumpter is a
mere wreck, no flag flies there now, and Gill
more is busy with better game, he has opened
a terrific fire on Fort Johnson, which must be
reduced before further progress can be made
in the siege. Gen. Gillmore was tossing
shells into Charleston at the rate of twenty
per day. The inhabitants of the doomed city
had been-removed beyond the reach of the
explosive visitors. The rebels have earned
another certificate for hiu-toned nioralit) iu
the Moultrie House dode. This large build
ing, once a watering place hotel, hislWa
long time been decorated with tho universally
respected hospital flag. Ot course our gum
were carelully ranged wide ol it, according to
the practice of all civilized people. Wull.ul
ter mouths of hospital immunity, down goes
the Moultrie House one fine night, and dis
closes a power! u I battery which- the traitors
had built and armed uuder protecliou of tiiat

FE0I5 FORT SI-IITH.
News from Foil Smith Ar!:., to the 21
inst., states tbat the Rebels are stretched it
long the Little Missouri River (a braiicii Ol the
Washita in the south-western part of tiie
State, from 75 to 1U0 miles tomb of Fort
Smith). The right wing ol the RjLci forces,
hnder Gen. Price, is uv-ir WaiUiuglon ; lhe
kit tting, under Cabol. is at Suddo Gap ; and
tbe center, under Marmaduke, is in llig vicin

forces are preparing to attack Fort Smith or
Little Kock. Tbe Kebel Oeiieral Cooper is
in tho Red River valley, and Stunevait is in
the Creek.Nation. Their total lorco is esti
mated at 22,000.
FROM VICKSBT7SG.
. Rebel guerrillas hare erected a batteiy at
Waterproof, be low Vicksburg, which recently
fired into the steamer's Emerald nud Welcome.
Five or six persons are reported killed and
wounded. The tow-boat Harriet was tired in
to at Grand Guiton the 20th. She reports a
battery of seven 12-pounders two miles below
the mouth of Red River. Refugees report
1,300 guerrillas there. This battery fired into
the transport Black llawk a 13-inch shell,
which burst in her. The Texas was set on
tire and tbe pilot house burnt ; one uegro kill
ed, and a white man badly, wounded. The
gunboat Chocktaw silenced the battery.

Sent to Penitentiary. By a general order
just made public in the Smithsonian case, the
banker lately sentenced to the penitentiary lor
treason, it appears tllat ha was convicted un
der the 57th Article of War, for writing letters
under an assumed name, and directed in
cypher to one of Beauregard's officers at rua
nassas, in 1861. The letters 'contained valu
able information relating to the disposition of
troops, and steps going forward to put down
the rebellion, besides warm expressions ot
sympathy, even to the donation ol all of bis
property to the rebels.
Desmark. The death of King Frederick
the Seventh, and the acceptance if the throne
of Denmark by his cousin, King Christian the
Ninth, was a fact thought likely to lead to a
settlement of the difficulties between that
Government and the Germanic confederation.
But, according to the London Times, the new
accession will only complicate and embarrass
matters still further, for tbe Duchies refuse to
receive Christian as their Uiouarcb, and call
upon the Confederation to sustain them.
Christian is father-in-law to the Prince of
Wales, and father to the King of Greece.
The loyal men of Nashville have presented

, THE EUROPEAN CONGRESS.
Napoleon, the most astute of Europe mon
arch., has by circuUr letter invited what he
chooses to designate Ihe fifteen principal pow
ers of Europe, to a conference or congress.
So far no favorable response has come fiom
any ot the leading great nhtious. England
has positively declined to be concerned in this
wholesale swindle. Russia flatly refuses until
Poland is quiescent. Austria is 'silent, and
Prussia shows her teeth. Spain, iu the very
face of the iuvitalion, is reported to have
contracted au alliance with the hereditary
enemy of his throne, the heir and grandson ot
Louis Phillipe, the Court De Paris. This, it
true, is a;i open bold defiance of tbe power of
Napoleon.
Is the Napoleonic dynasty of the nephew of
bis uncle to meet with the same fate as that of
the first Is the ambition of ihe nephew to
ressult as did that of the uncle I Both pos
sessed of keen, acute, subtle, far-searching
intellects, the former did, and the latter will
overreach himself by spreading too widely
tho meshes of ambition. No ono intellect
can control and govern a world, 'i he inter
ests of a world are too vast and divergent lor
any one limited mind, however far beyond its
compeers in power, to grapple, comprehend
and govern.
Napoleon, infatuated success, has been vain
glorious enough, notwithstanding the failure
ot the master-mind of his uncle, to believe
thst not by the military force of the French
nation alone, but by vast diplometic interna
tional combinations, he could effect and rule
the great iutetests of civilization. Thus far
his policy dilfors from that of his uncle and
thus lar it is wiser aud cheaper. It costs
France less but Europe more.
England is no longer a stop to his organ.
Her immense naval power is no longer at his
service. Hj has provoked, both by the Cri
mean war and by his propJsed interference in
the PoINb imbroglio, the etcrun I haired of
