OLEABPIELD, PA., DEC. 30, 1863.
THE WAS NEWS.
Oar armies seem to have settled down for
thtf winter, or at least nothing of import
ance has transpired during the past week.
Picket skirmishing, however, is quite fre
quent along our lines, which generally result
in the capture of a few of the pickets by one
or the other of the parties.
It is reported that much excitement pre
vailed ia New Brunswick on account of a ru
mor that a raid by rebel agents was contem
plated from the vicinity of St. John's. The
citizens of Calais and Eastport have formed
themselves into Home Guards, and obtained
arms and ammunition, holding themselves
in readiness to resist any hostile attack.
The U. S. Marshal at New York, on the
26th, found quite a number of revolvers a
moDg the passecgers of the steamer Morn
ing Star, all of which were taken away and
given in charge of the purser. A number
of "roughs", offered large iHducrnents for
passage, provided they be taken oa board af- j
ter the steamer had passed the guardship.
Gen. Grant and tie President.
The New York correspondent of the Phila
delphia Inquirer says :
Letters have been received from General
Grant, which states that it is against his
wishes and consent that his name is conspic
uously brought forward in some of the New
thinks there is time enough six month hence
to look up a candidate for the Presidency.
What the old hero wants is for the friends
cf Union to fill up his wasted regiments,
that the finishing blow may be given to the
Rebellion a speedily as possible."
Aiie x nnaueipnia correspondent or tne
Pittsburg Gazette exposes the motives which
are governing the New-York Herald in its
efforts to push forth General Grant lie
bays in his dispatch of the 22d :
"The New York Herald has been secur
ed to divide the Republican party, advoca
ting General Grant for the next Presidency.
If the Republicans nominated Grant the
Herald would not support him. An organ
ization has been effected, and a vast sum of
money was raised, to divide the Republican
party, which, as a unit, is known to be in
vincible. The idea is to defeat the re-nomination
of Lincoln and at the proper time to
bring out McClellan as the candidate of the
Democratic party. I have this oa the best
authority, and was present incog at the
meeting of the principle wire-pullers in the
.arrangement"
If the Herald don't succeed in killing off
General Grant it will be no fault of its ed
itors. "We believe that the hopes of the people
of the South of gaining their independence,
tcithin any reasonable period, are fainter
now than at any former time.' Copperhead,
organ, Dec. 16th.
Still they cling to that faint 4ihope," and
we infer the language of our Copperhead
neighbors, that they, like their ' -Southern
brothers," believe that the Rebels trill gain
their independence at a little more remote
'"time." At first it may seem .somewhat
singular that men, so distant from each oth
er, should be of the same opinion in regard
to the ultimate independence of the South.
But then, when we reflect over past events,
it does not appear so strange, after all, to
find this unanimity of sentiment, for it is
evident that these "twin brothers" have
-. been Jaboring for the same end for years
tie -overthrow of our Republican institu
tions. We opine, however, that they will
bo disappointed. The Union is "one and
inseparable, now and forever."
The Postal Money Order System.
We are glad to 6ee that the Postmaster
General has again urged the adoption of the
system which has proved such a conveni-
ence in England, of allowing the Post-office
o act as a medium for the transmission of
money by orders purchasable at its sub-offi-
ees throughout the country. Nothing has
contributed more to facilitate commercial
transactions in the United Kingdom than
this plan, and the wonder is that it has not
been sooner adopted here. There b no o-
ther way in which small sums of money can
be transmitted as inexpensively and safely.
The system in England is not only self-supporting,
but contributes a handsome surplus
to the rost-omce revenues. e trust tnat
congress will not fail this session to give it
the legislative sanction which is necessary
to enable the Department to put it in opera
tion. .'Arrested.
Cfcas. H. Cornwell,' Ordnance Chief of
the Redemption Bureau, was arrested
on a charge f embezzling various sums
of money at different times. Proof of $15,
000 thus obtained, "was developed at his ar
rest. His plan pf operation was to abstract
certain amounts from the mutilated Treasu
ry notes sent in for redemption, and then
account for them by taking them from notes
cancelled and ready to be burned, for a
similar amount, and having them xecanoejjed.
Gen Grant turned "Abolitionist."
It is a noteworthy fact that the "War
Democrats" throughout the country, and
especially those officers and soldiers f
"Democratic" antecedents who have distin
guished themselves in the field, have grown
more radical and bitter in their hestility to
slavery than the great majority of Republi
cans. There is not a Union General or sol
dier, whose heart is in the work before him,
who is not an abolitionist The gallant he
ro of the West, with whose praise the coun
try is ringing, is no exception to this rule
In a letter to Hon. E. B. Washburne, dated
August 13, 1803, Gen. Grant writes:
' 4The people of the North need not quar
rel over the institution of Slavery. What
Vice-President Stephens acknowledges as
the corner-stone of the Confederacy is al
ready knocked out Slavery is already
dead, and cannot be resurrected. It would
take a standing army to maintain slavery in
tbe South if we were to make peace to-day
guaranteeing to the South all their former
constitutional privileges. I nevr was an
Abolitionist, not even what would be called
anti-slavery, but I try to judge fairly and hon
estly, and it became patent to my mind, early
in the Rebellion, that the North tnd South
could never lice at peace tctih each other ex
cept as one nation, and that without shivery.
As anxious as I am to see peace established,
I would not, therefore, be willing to see any
settlement until this questioa is forever set
tled," How do those Copperheads and Peace
Democrats who talk of taking up General
Grant as their candidate for President, like
this plank in his platform ?
Escaped from Richmond.
On the 24th two soldiers of the United
States army, who have been in prison in
Richmond, reported themselves at the Pro
vost Marshal's office Washington, dressed
in grey clothes, made by the Union ladies at
Richmond, from secesh blankets. Their
names are R. S. Howard, of Scammon's
baigrde, and John R. McCullough. of the
first Wisconsin infantri'. Howard had been
employed by the rebels ia charge of tbe Ala
bama hospital, and McCullough was also
employed as a hospital steward. Having
ascertained that if they could escape they
would receive assignee from Union people
in Richmond, who are more numerous than
is geoerally supposed, McCullough feigned
to be dead and was carried out in a coffin,
and Howard passed the guard in the night.
Their escape was effected ou the 8th inst.,
and they remained in the city until the 17th.
Some friends took charge of them, and suits
were made for them out of the rebel blankets,
and passes were furnished which enabled
them to get out of the city. They report
that our men are suffering great hardships
in rebel prisons and hospitals. The rations
of rebels themselves are very scanty, consis
ting of corn bread and semi-occasionally pie
ces of bacon. They represent that the aver
age daily number of deaths of our prisoners
in hospitals in the city is thirty-five.
The "Conservatives."
A number of old gentlemen, some very
respectable, as weH as otherwise, who have
not learned raueb. lately, and forgotten that
the world moves, had a very pleasant meet-.
ing, no doubt, at Cincinnatti, a short time
ago, and nominated GeorgeB. McClellan
for the Presidency ! We have never seen it
stated of what number this meeting consist
ed, but we suppose it was quite as numer
ous as the celebrated meeting of the three
tailors who met in London, and dignified
their proceedings with "we, the people of
London," &c. The aforesaid meeting could
not agree as to who should be the candidate
for Vice President, but they were kind e
nough to leave that for another meeting.
We do not know a more appropriate candi
date than Vallandigham, and we suggest his
name as one who has already been endorsed
by the Democratic State Convention which
nominated Woodward.
Michigan University.
Some time ago it will be remembered, a
number of the students of the University of
Michigan participated in a Vallandigham
demonstration in Canada. The affair was
widely noticed at the time, and gave rise to
doubts as to the loyalty of this institution f
learning. Very fortunately the Vallandig
ham men did not comprise a twentieth part
of the students in attendance, and the ma
jority seeing the mischief that was done took
steps to correct it. On the 5th instant they
met in mass convention, over seven hundred
strong, and passed a series of resolutions
strongly denouncing the act of the Vallan
dighamers, and declaring unqualified hostil
ity to all men and parties opposed to the
Government
"He who attempts to refute the position,
or argument, of an adversary, by misrepre
senting, or perverting, the language of such
adversary, but befools himself, and writes
himself clown an ass, and an ass, too, of ve
ry low degree because not one in ten of his
readers will fail to detect the fraud." Cop
perhead organ.
Wonder if these astute editors had them
selves in their "minds eye" when they pen
ned the above quotation? Certainly, no
en, we wot of, are more given to "pervert
ing'' w16 "position" or "language" of oth
ers than they are that of the President on
all occasions and hence, they write them
selves "down an ass, and a2 ass, too, of very
low degree." Pray, have we quoted you
correctly on this occasion?
By the latest advices we learn that affairs
are very dull ia Richmoni Flour has gone
up to $200 a barrel, and is still rising. Jibe
people are generally despondent, acd the ap
proaching winter will be awful ibr the poor.
, f HE TBEASURY EEPORT.
The elaborate report of Secretary Chase
on the finances, of the country, presents the
condition of the moaetary affairs of the na
tion in a much more lavorable light than the
public have generally imagined it would. It
also gives us an idea of the magnitude of
the work that our government lias on its
hands, and shows how well and easily the
country has borne the financial burthen ren
dered necessary by the events of the war.
The rebellion plunged us into one of the
most extensive wars ever engaged in by any
nation ; but the effect upon the country is
nothing when compared to that produced
upon England by the wars of apoleon.
The debt incurred by us will also be found
to be much more easily removed.
Our national debt at the present time is
put down in round numbers at eleven hun
dred millions of dollars. It is estimated
that on the 1st day of July, 1SG4, it will
reach in round numbers about seventen
hundred millions. If the war should con
tinue until the 1st of July 18G5 which
does not seem possible with any decent man
agement our debt, according to present es
timates, will reach the neighborhood of two
thousand five huudred millions, or a little
more than one-half of the present debt of
England. 1 he debt of the Untisu govern
nvent is now over four thousand millions.
It is true that it bears a smaller rate of in
terest than ours; but,counting it at the rate
of three and a half per cent,she is paying an
annual interest of upwards of one hundred
and forty millions. The expenses cf the
English government are so great that it is
impossible for her even in time of peace to
reduce her debt ; but, on the other hand,
the inexorable logic of facts sliow that it must
gradually increase. According to "Secretary
Chase's estimate, our government will have
to pay, at the rate of interest which the debt
bears, eighty-five millions during the coming
fiscal year. Should the war continue until
the 1st of July, 1S65, and the debt be swol
len to twenty-five hundred millions, our an
nual interest, even at present rates, will
still be below that paid by England. The
vast resources of this country, its hidden
treasure and varied wealth, which are from
day to day being developed, will enable us
to meet all this, and the people will not feel
the burthen one-half as much ae the subjects
f England feel theirs now. It will also en
able us to rapidly reduce our debt when the
war is over.
What other nation of the world can pre
sent such a record ? Here we are engaged
in a gigantic civil war. We have "been at
work nearly three years iu crushing out the
rebellion of an extent and magnitude un
known to any other nation iu ancient or mod
ern times, and yet the bm tlieu is hardly felt
by the people. We shall soon show to the
world that wc can crush out the greatest re
bellion of the world. And when the war
ends, and every State returns lo the family
circle, we will add to the wonders the aston
ishing feat of actually paying off our enor
mous lobt within the lifetime of the pres
ent generation, thus furaishixig an example
that no other nation can follow. Let the
growlers in our midst and the croakers in
Europe put this iu their pipes and smoke it.
They will find it an excellent remedy for
their agitated nerves. -V. Y. Herald.
" Still they Come."
The President's Amnesty Proclamation
seems to e favorably received by the Rebel
soldiers whom it Las reached. A late des
patch from Chattanooga says :
"Twenty-five deserters from Hardee's ar
my who came into Chattanooga on the 2od,
rejort that Tennessee soldiers are deserting
in squads of from 20 to 50 where the Presi
dent's proclamation was received, which met
with much favor among the Tennessee and
Georgia troops."
Shouldn't wonder if some one Rebel would
take the oath under the proclamation yet,
notwithstanding the editors of the Copper
head organ said there would "not be,a man.'
The prophets of old were true prophets, but
these latter-day would-be prophets seem to
be of the false species, or, at least, they gen
erally guess much short of the truth.
Deficiency in the Corn Crop.
The reported deficiency of one hundred
and thirty-five millions of bushels in the
corn crop this year, as estimated by the Ag
ricultural Department, has leen assumed by
some of the members of Congress as ground
for an objection for an increase of tax on do
mestic high wines. It is understood that
the Illinois delegation will oppose strenuous
ly any increase ou the present tax. They
agree that an increased tax together with
the present high price of grain, will force
the distilleries to a suspension of operations,
and thus diminish instead of adding to the
revenue receipts.
Harry "White.
. The rebels in Richmond thought that by
detaining Senator White in Richmond, a
prisoner, they would give their friends a
majority in our State Senate, and thus pre
vent our State Government from rendering
any effective support to the National Ad
ministration, but Mr. White has blocked
this game by sending home his resignation.
A writ for a new electiou will now be issued
by the Speaker, and in twenty days the loy
al district composed of Indiana and Arm
strong counties can be represented by some
other Union man. .
Death of Gen. Corcoran.
Gen. Corcoran was thrown from his horse
near Slaughter's Station, resulting in the
fracture of his skull, from which death en
sued in a few hours. Being a good "horse
man, it is supposed by his friends, he may
have had an attack of appoplexy. He will
be enbalmed and sent home.
"The infidel undertook to prove that the
Bible said 'there is no God,' by omitting
from that significant sentence the very im
portant words 'The fool hath said in his
heart.' " Copperhead organ.
An old "settler" suggest that, perhaps,
some "chaps" of the sort referred to might
be somewhat intimately alblea to the scrib
blers department of the Repvbh'can. Fur
ther deponent saith not.
Jeff. Davis' Message.
The message of Jefferson Davis to the
confederate Congress was sent in on the 7th
inst. He is verv desnondintr over the los
ses of the strongholds of icksburg, Port
Hudson and many other points. lie sa3rs
there has been no improvement in relations
with foreign countries since his message last
January. Un the contrary there is greater di
vergence in the conduct of European nations,
assuming a character positivly unfriendly,
He adds: "The marked partiality of Great
iJntain in tavor of our enemies is strongly e
vinced in there decisions regarding the block
ade, as well as m their marked difference of
'conduct on the subject of the purchase of
supplies by the two belligerents. J. his dif
ference has been conspicuous since the com
mencement of the war. He continues
"The public finances demand the strictest
and most earnest attention. A prompt and
efficacious remedv lor the present condition
of the currency is necessary to a successful
performance of the operations of the gov
ernment!" He recommends taxation in
stead of further sales of bonds or issues of
Treasury notes, adding "that the holders of
the currency now outstanding can only be.pro-
tected by substituting tor it some other se
curity. The currency must be promptly re
duced to prevent the present inflated prices
reaching rates more extravagant. He calls
upon the people to come to the rescue of
their country, lie recommends putting an
end to the substitute business, and a modifi
cation of the exemption law,so that the armies
in the field may be fargelv increased as ran
idly as possible. He regrets the suspension
of the exchange of prisoners, and that com
munication with the TransMississippi is so
obstructed." He concludes as follows: "The
enemy refuse proposals for the only peace
possible between us. The only hope for
peace now is in the vigor of our resistance."
Emancipation in Maryland.
An important meeting of the Union State
Central Committee of Maryland was held at
Baltimore on Wednesday a-week. Hon.
Thomas .Swann, who presided at the meet
ing, read an elaborate paper on the condi
tion of Slavery in Maryland, and the best
meaus of getting rid of it. He stated that
he had called the members' of the Com
mittee together; "by requestof a large num
ber of Union men, iu advance of the nieet
iugof the legislature, to suggest the propri
ety of some action on the part of this Com
mittee in reference to emancipation." lie
had also received a communication, from
prominent and influential slaveholders of
Maryland, urging the calling of a Conven
tion "to interchange opinions and view s upon
the absorbing subjects that will be likely to
engasre the attention of the Legislature "and
the Constitutional Convention, which it will
certainly authorize the people to call."
At the conclusion of his address. Mr.
Swann submitted a series of resolutions, in
favor of immediate emancipation, andshmv
ing the folly of any gradual plan of ridding
the State of the remnant of tbe institution.
Hon. John P. Kennedy indorsed the above
resolutions in a few eloquent remarks. He
had. however, some resolutions which he
proposed to offer, and which, as they did
not conflict with those offered by Mr. Swann.
he hoped would also be adopted. After an
animated discussion, both series of resolutions
were adopted. Both were thoroughly rad
ical, and called for instant and decisive ac
tion on the part of the legislature.
Reaction'. Mr. Wood, Mr. Reed, Mr.
Bayard, Mr Garrett Davis, and other emi
nently conservative men, are still where they
were constant as needles that have rust
ed in their sockets ; or, if they have
only grown more conservative more South
ern, indeed, than the Southerners them
selves. Meanwhile the' State of Mis
souri has become more radical than the
North, and even Arkansas is agitating
the aboliton of Slavery, at the instance of
the former rebel Brigadier General Gantt.
Mr. Wood and his friends call our Govern-;
ment despotic and horrible, and yet we are
reliably informed that, in greeting their
deliverers, the women of Arkansas were I
more affectionate. "They threw their arms
even around the horses' neeks, in their great
joy, and wept like children." We are!
also told the gratifying fact that "in many
portions of the State it would be worth as !
much as a man's life to advocate the re
establishment of the 'institution.' " Theloy- j
al Arkansans are fully equal to the Presi- j
dent's proclamation of freedom, if they have j
not advanced a step beyond it. Fearful of !
the facts that the president's prolamatiou
only freed the slaves at the time being in j
such States to which it applied that slaves
from Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky
might be brought into the State, the con
stitution of Aakansas prohibiting its Legis
lature from preventing slave-owners of those
States from bringing them in it was,
therefore, resolved, by a Union meeting at
Little Rock, "that it is the dutv of the peo
ple of Arkansas to call a convention as soon
as practicable, and so amend our constitu
tion as to place the question beyond the
reach of cavil. Evidently, the world is
moving onward, yet some respectable peo
ple are standing very still, or travelling slow
ly backwards. Ij-ess.
"The People of the South." Copper
head organ.
How very considerate, mild and affection
ate in the editors of the Republican to style
Jeff Davis and his horde of Rebel cutthroats
who are trying to take the life of the Union,
"the People;" while, at the same time, they
term our National rulers as "miserable sa
traps," "usurpers," "oppressors," "fanat
ics," etc., and the means used to restore the
authority of our Government over the Re
bellious States as "harsh, and unfair, and
" unconstitutional, and despotic" And yet,
these are the men who set themselves up as
patterns (?) of loyalty ! However, "not one
"in ten of their readers will fail to detect
" the fraud" practiced upon them.
Like true Copperheads, the so-called
Democratic delegation in Congress, headed
by Fernando Wood, proposed to crawl on
their bellies to Richmond, to ask king Jeff's
terms of peace. But the people understand
this treacherous and shameless move. They
understand that it is simply saying to Jeff :
"hold out a little longer; dont' be discour
aged yet we are working hard for you up
North here, o only don't give up yet"
Beware ! O ye Copperheads, beware. ! !
i Highway Robbery. A few nights
since, James S. Elliott, Esq., late County
Commissioner of Washington county,7 was
robbed m a carpet-sack containing notes and
obligations to the amount of ? 1,800. He
was driving s two-horse buggy,-along the
"Narrows, ' near Cannonsburg, when his
horses shied, and it being very dark he got
out to lead them, ilis carpet-sack was then
in the buggy, and he noticed a man on the
ruau out aia not speaK to mm. un reach
ing his residence in Cecil township, he found
that the carpet-sack had been stolen. Next
day the thief was arrested at Jarrett's tavern,
and twelve hundred dollars worth of the notes
found in his possession. He gave the name
of James F. Rollins, but refused to state
anything as to his residence or previous his
tory. Mr. Elliott had been at Washineton
settling the accounts of an estate, and Roll
ins had no doubt determined to waylay
him, evidently supposing that he would
have with him a large t amount of cash.
There is no doubt that, if Mr. Elliott had not
got out of the buggy at the time he did, he
would have been badly beaten, if not mur-
uerod. Kollins was committed to the ash
ington county jail.
Daring Robbeet. A bold and most
audacious highway robbery was committed
on eunesuay aiternoon. December iotn,
on the road' between Milliganstown and
ifueketos Church, in Uurrell township,
Westmoreland county. A elothins i.edlar.
carrying his ware on horseback, met a man
on the road, with whom he succeeded in
disposing of some articles of clothing, and in
making change the pedlar had occasion to
produce his pocket-book, containing some
oOO, when his customer, who was on foot
dexterously twitched it out of his hands and
escaped to the woods.
