OLEABFIELD, PA., MAEOE 9, 1864.
THE "WAB NEWS.
On Saturday night, February 27th, an
important movement was initated in the
Army of the Potomac. On Sunday some
skirmishing took place on our right between
Gen. Custer's cavalry and some rebels ;
which attracted the attention of the rebel
commander, whilst Gen. Kilpatrick was
moving past their right towards Richmond.
Custer had but 1,500 men and a section of ar
tillery. On Monday he passed through
Madison Court House, crossed the Rapidan
and Rivanna, and went within three miles
of Charlottesville. There the Rebels had
hastily gathered a heavy force, and Custer
wheeled about. Meantime, the Rebel cav
alry had gathered in his rear, to the number
of a whole brigade, and felt sure of captur
ing his entire force, but by a series of bril
liant movements, including some fine char
ges and sharp fighting, our men got safely
off, having burnt the long bridge over the
Rivanna, several mills and factories ; taken
60 prisoners, many valuable horses, eight
wagon loads of stores, six caissons, two for
ges, &c The horses belonged to the Rebel
army, and had been put out to board, so as
to be in good condition for the Spring cam
paign. The expedition has returned to the
North side of the Rapidan. having accom
plished the purpose intended. Not a man
was killed, 'only 11 were wounded and 9 cap
tured. Meanwhile Gen. Killpatrick crossed
the Rapidan at Ely's Ford on Saturday
morning at 4 o'clock. He surprised and
captured the rebel pickets a captain and
1 5 men on the south sicta of the stream
and moved towards Spottsylvania Court
House, where he was on Monday at 11
o'clock. His force was 6,000 strong and
was moving direct for Richmond. On his
way SoutlvKilpatrick destroyed the greater
portion of the Richmond and Fredericks
burg and Virginia Central Railroads, thus
destroying Lee's communications with Rich
mond. The Richmond papers, admit that
our troops penetrated to within three miles
of that city, and relate how narrowly Lee
escaped capture. - On Tuesday the 1st,
Kilpatrick directed Col. Dahlgren with
500 men to make a reconnoisance to the
James River, who attacked the rebels and
drove them in on Richmond. The main
attack having failed Dahlgren attempted to
rejoin Kilpatrick at Meadow bridges, but
did not make the junction. The greater
portion of Dahlgren' s men, however, finally
reached Kilpatrick' s main force", but Col.
D. and about J0 men became seperated from
his main body and have not been seen since.
Kilpatrick reached Yorktown, having lost
about 150 men in this raid towards the rebel
capital. Later Col. Dahlgren and his men
have arrived safely within our lines.
The steamer, from New-Orleans, brings
tjcws from Mobile. Our fleet opened a
tremendous fire on Fort Powell on the
morning of the 23d ult.. and it was thought
that it could not holdout long. The Rebel
ram Tennessee now lies nnder the protection
of the guns of Fort Morgan. The women and
children were being removed from the city.
Admiral Farragut on board the Calhoun,
was inside of Dauphin Island, and the flag
ship Hartford was at Ship Island, forty
miles west of Mobile. An attack on our
Lln4-articsr fleet was anticipated, provided
hat the Rebel rams were in good order and
condition.
Ob Tuesday March 1st there was some
fighting at Deep Creek." ton miles from New
Berne, but to what extent was not known.
Next day the Norfolkians heard continuous
and heavy artillery firing in that direction
but nothing definite had been received at
headquarters when the dispatch left. The
Rebels are getting troublesome along the
Albemarle Canal, and in the Dismal Swamp.
The Rebel papers admit that at. the bat
tle of Olustee, Florida, their force engaged
consisted of eleven reginjents of infantry,
four battalions of cavalrj'i and three lotter
ies of artillery, while our own equal to two
thirds of it. Another account sets down
the Rebel loss at about 800 killed and
wounded.
The Rebels1 arc in a strait about whisky.
On the publication of the new Currency bill,
whisky rose from $90 to $120 per gallon.
Brown sugar was up to $1,50 per pound by
the hogshead, and none offering at that.
Twenty-six Rebel deserters from Tennes
see, who have been confined in the Old
Capitol for the past two months, have just
taken the oath of allegiance.
The movements of Gen. Sherman are stili
shrouded in mystery nothing definite hav
ing been heard from him since he left Me
ridian.
Col. Fry has published an oflieial order sus
pending the draft, and saying that a subse
oueat day will be announced for its re? ump
tion.
The Pennsylvania Reserves.
It would seem that Gen. George B. McClel
lan has, in his ponderous report of the ope
rations of the Army of the Potomac in Ma
ryland and Virginia, cast some aspersions
upon the noble Pennsylvania Reserves, and
that the officers of that brave Corps have
published a defense, in which they repel the
attempt to fasten odium upon them. In re
ferring to this subject the Pittsburg Gazette,
of March 3d, says :
"We have received from Col. J. P. Glass,
one of our representatives at Harrisburg,
a neatly printed pamphlet of ten pages de
fending the Pennsylvania Reserves from the
aspersions cat upon their soldierly qualities
in (Jen. McClellan's report. It comprises
Gen. KcCall's reports of the battles of Me-ehanicj-ville,
Gaines' MilLs and New Market
Cross Roads, together w,ith the General's
testimony before the Joint Committee on
the Conuuct of the War, and the testimony
of many of the living division, brigade, line
and Company olHeers of the entire Reserve
corps, including Gen. Meade. The united
testimony of Gen. McCall and his subordi
nates'is, that the Reserves were not routed
in the battle of New Market Cross Roads,
as cfiarged by Gen. McClellan. On the con
trary, never did soldiers fight more heroical
ly and against greater odds than did the Re
serves in the three battles we Lave named.
And it is already a part of history that, if
the brave Reserves had been properly sup
ported in cither of those engagements, the
enemy would not have gained the victory
over us they did, when they compelled Mc
Clellan to gather his once proud and power
ful army under the protection of the gun
boats in James river. It was generalship
that was wanting on the Peninsula not
pluck and endurance, neither of which sol
dierly qualities was possessed in a greater
degree by any other division of the Army of
the Potomac than by the Pennsylvania Re
serves." The Pennsylvania Reserves have borne
the brunt of nearly every battle in which
the army of the Potomac has been engaged.
They have endured trial, hardship, and dan
ger fought as no men ever fought before
and covered themselves and the army to
which they belong with a halo of glory. Af
ter all that they have undergone, how must
it chill the hearts of the veteran survi vers of
the thousands who have so nobly fallen, to find
their former commander imputing to them
a want of courage on the battle-field ? Does
McClellan expect to conceal his want of
good generalship by casting aspersions upon
those whom he commanded ? If so, he will
find himself mistaken ; for when the peo
ple are left to decide between the ability of
McClellan and the courage of the noble ar
my which was placed under him, it is not
difficult to tell what will be the verdict. The
Reserves have proven their courage on a
score of battle-fields. The bones of hun
dreds of their number lie bleaching in the
swamps of the Chickahominy, and whether
they fell from the deadly miasma or from
rebel bullets, their death will, perhaps, bo
attributed by the future historian to ' the
same causs the mistakes of their com
mander-in-chief, if not to incompetency.

The Progress of Opinion.
Gen. Garfield, of Ohio, (late Chief of
Statf to Gen. Rosecrans,) in a recent speech
in Congress on the confiscation question,
gave the following account of the progress
of opinion, in the army of the United States,
on the subject of the ultimate extinction of
slavery :
''I remember to have said to a friend when
I entered the army, ''Vou hate slavery ; so
do I ; but I hate disunion more. Lot us
drop the slavery question and fight to sus
tain the Union; When the supremacy of
the government has been re-established, we
will attend to the other question."
i;I started out with that position taken in
good faith." as did thousands of others of all
parties. Rut the army soon found that, do
what it jvould, the black phantom met it
everywhere, in the camp, in the bivouac,
on the battle-field and at all times. It was
a ghost that would not be laid. Slavery
was both the strength and weakness of the
enemy. His strength for it tilled his fields
and fed his legions ; his weakness for in
the hearts of slaves dwelt dim prophecies
that their deliverance from lioudagc would
be the outcome of the war.
"The negroes came from the cotton fields ;
they swam rivers, they climbed mountains:
they came through jungles, in the darkness
and storms of the night, to tell us that the
enemy was coming here or coming there.
Tliev were our true friends in every case.
There has hardly been a battle, a inarch, or
any important event or the war, where the
friend of our cause, the black man. has not
rcen found truthful and helpful and alway
devotedly loyal. The conviction forced it
self upon the mind of every .-oIui?r that, be
hind the rebel army of solditrs, the black
army of laborers was feeding and sustaining
the rebellion, and there could be no victor'
till its main support be taken away.
"Gentlemen on the other side, you tell me
that this is an abolition war. If you plea.e
to sav so 1 grant it. 1 he rapid current of
events has made the army of the republic
an abolition army. I can find in the ranks a
thousand men who are in favor of sweeping
away slavery to everv dozen that desire to
preserve it. Thev have been where they
have seen its malevolence, its baleful effect
unon the country and the Union, and they
demand that it shall be swept away."
Place it permanently on record in your
memories soldiers of Pennsylvania regiments
that the so-called Democratic Senators
in the Pennsylvania Legislature voted against
the proposed amendment to the Constitution,
allowing you to vote. Remember, also,
that this amendment has been rendered ne
cessary by the decision of three Democratic
Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl
vania, Lowrie, Woodward and Thompson,
who so interpeted the law, that the instant
a man left the joys of home to risk his life
in defence of his county he forfeits the great
right of suffrage ! These are things never
to bfl jTorgotten by the soldiers or by their
friends.
THE RECORD AFFIRMED.
On the 20th of January we published the
"Record" of the proceedings in the Penu'a
State Senate on the resolutions "recommen
ding an increase cf pay to our soldiers" and
"giving them the privilege of voting while
in the military service." Some of the Cop
perhead minority then opposed these reso
lutions for the reason, as they alleged, that
the Senate was not fully oganized. Since
then Dr. St. Clair has been elected to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation of
Maj. Harry White. The Senate being now
full, and the retaining of Mr. Penny as
Speaker, by the majority of that body, the
former plea for voting against the resolu
tions referred to no longer exists. But, how
stands the record now ? In the Senate, on
Friday, March 4th, the House bill, No. 117,
came up on third reading, and was read as
follows :
Resolved, by the Senate and House, of
Representatives of the Commomcealih of
Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and
it is hereby enacted by the authority of the
same, That our representatives in Congress
be requested to vote for, and use their influ
ence for the passage of a law increasing the
pay of private soldiers and non-commissioned
officers in the army of the United States.
On the final passage of the bill, the yeas
and nays wore required by Mr. Beardslee and
Mr. Clyiner, and were as follows :
Yeas Messrs. Chamrneys. Con nell, Dun
lap, Fleming. Graham, Iloge, Householder,
Johnson, Kinsey, Lowry, McCandless,
Nichols, Ridgway. St. Clair, Turrell, Wil
son. Worthington and Penney, Speakei 18.
Nays Messrs. Beardslee, Bucher, Cly
mer, Donovan, Glatz, Hopkins, Lamberton,
Latta, McSherry, Montgomery, Reilly,
Smith, Stark, Stein and Wallace 15. .
So the bill passed finally. Every "Dem
ocrat," but Kinsey of Bucks county, voted
against increasing the pay of the soldiers.
On the same day the proposed amend
ments to the Constitution were taken up.
Among them is the following section :
Section IV. Whenever any of the qual
ified electors of this Commonwealth shall
be in any actual military service under a re
quisition from the President of the United
States, or by the anthority of this Common
wealth, such electors may exercise the riht
of suffrage in all elections of the citizens,
under such regulations as are or shall be
prescribed by law, as fully as if they were
present at their usual place of election.
The vote on the passage of this amend
ment stood as follows :
Yeas Messrs. Cham pneys, Con nell, Dun
lap, Flemins.Graham. Hoge, Householder,
Johnson, Kinsey, liowrv. M'Candless,
Nichols Ridgway, St. Clair, Tiirrell. Wilson,
Worthington and Penney, Speaker 18.
Nays Messrs. Beardsjee, Donovan, Glatz,
Lanilerton, Latta, Montgomery, Smith,
Stark, Stein, and Wallace 10.
So the amendment was agreed to--Kin-sey,
Democrat, voting in the aflinuative.
Five "Democrats'' Uucher, Clyuier, Hop
kins, M' Sherry and Reily dodged the
question ; thereby admitting the infamy of
the course adopted by their leaders in the
Senate.
We submit the above extracts from the
record, to the calm reflection of the people
of Pennsylvania. Tho above affirmance of
their former vote, we presume, leaves no
further doubt as to the Copperhead leaders
being opposed to giving our soldiers a vote
while in the military service of therir gov
ernment. We observe that our Copperhead neigh
bors pitched into the editor of the Harris
burgh Telegraph, last week, in a very "ly
ing" sort of style they applying thato
lite little word (lie) no less than seven times,
in one short article, to some remarks of the
Telegraph. We would advise our Harris
burg contemporary to be more careful in fu
ture remarks in reference to "the Knights of
the Golden Circle" meeting in the Surveyor
General's office. But why need our neigh
bors "take on so" about the allusions of the
Telegraph? Do they belong to the Knights?
And was either of them present at the meet
ing referred to?
A General Bill is now before the Legisla
ture, which, will undoubtedly soon become
a law, legalizing the action of Boards of
School Directors, Township Supervisors,
and County Commissioners, levying, as
sessing and collecting tax for the payment
of bounties to volunteers, for the purpose
of filling their respective quotas under the
call of the President for five hundred thou
sand men. The bill is said to be broad and
comprehensive, rendering local legislation
in the matter unnecessary.
Hard Rcn the editors of the Copper
head organ, last week, for something to re
lieve them of a little venom otherwise,
they would not have snapped at and perver
ted a simple news item which we,in common
with most papers in the country, published
two weeks since. Whether a negro is half
as good as a white man, we don't pretend to
say ; but of one thing we are convinced, that
many of them are doing more to crush out
the rebellion than our Copperhead neigh
bors. The United States District-Attorney has
received instructions from Washington to
procure the extradition of the Confederate
officers and crCw of the Chesapeake, now in
confinement at St. Johns N. B. The rev
enue cutter Miami was to sail last Thursday
evening tm this business.
Michael Hahn, the Free State candidate,
has been elected Governor of Louisiana, by
a handsome majority over both his competitors.
CALL FOR A NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 22.
The National Union Committee met at
the residence of Hon. Edward D. Morgan
at noon to-day, and was called to order by
that gentleman as its chairman.
The Hon. Edward McPherson, of Penn
sylvania, was elected Secretary of the com
mittee in place cf Hon. George G. Fogg, of
New Hampshire, who is absent iroin the
country.
Upon consultation, a call was unanimous
ly adopted for a national convention in the
following terms :
"The undersigned, who, by original ap
pointment or subsequent designation to fill
vacancies, constitute the executive commit
tee created by the National Convention held
at Chicago on the loth day of May, 1860,
do hereby call upon all qualified voters, who
desire the unconditional maintenance of the
Union, the supremacy of the Constitution,
and the complete suppression of the rebel
lion, with the cause thereof, by vigorous war
and all apt aud efficient means, to send del
egates to a convention, to assemble at Balti
more on Tuesday, the 7th day of June, 1864,
at 12 o'clock noon, for the purpose of pre
senting candidates for the offices of Presi
dent aud Vice President of the United
States. Each State having a representation
in Congress will be entitled to as many dele
gates as shall be equal to twice the number
of electors to which such State is entitled
inthe electoral Collegeol the United States."
A resolution was also adopted inviting the
territories and the District of Columbia to
send delegates, subject to the determination
by the Convention of their right to vote.
The Committee agreed to meet again at
the call of the chairman. The members
present were as follows :
Edward D. Morgan. New York, chairman.
Chas. J. Oilman, M.iine.
Lawrence Brainerd, Vermont.
John B. Goodrich, Massaffhu.-etts.
ThOs. G. Turner. Rhode Island.
Gideon Welles, Connecticut.
Denning Duer, New Jersey.
Edward McPherson, Pennsylvania.
Nathaniel B. Smithcrs, Delaware.
James F. Wagner, Maryland.
Thos. Spooner, Ohio.
Henry S. Lane, Indiana.
Ebenezer Reck, Illinois.
H. M. IToxie, Iowa.
W. S. Washburn, Minnesota.
Cornelius Cole, California.
O. II. Irish, Nebraska.
J oseph Gerhautd, District of Columbia.
The committee was entirely harmonious
in their proceedings, and adjourned in the
best possible manner.
Affairs at Harkisburo. On Monday
a-week the new Senator, Dr. St. Clair was
escorted to the Capitol by a grand procession
of four thousand Union, men and sworn into
oHiee. The Senate is now in working order,
the Union men have one of a majority. The
present chief Clerk and other subordinate
officers have been elected, all the Democrats
refusing to vote. The resolution calling up
on the Judiciary Committee to inquire into
the expediency of holding a special election
to amend the Constitution, so as to give the
soldiers in the field the right to vote at the
fall election, has passed both houses. The
copperhead Democracy will, we think, soon
begin to see the folly of their former course.
They have retarded the work of legislation
for almost two months, thinking by such a
course to aid the traitors in the South, and
have gained nothing in the end but the hon
est and well deserved censure of good and
loval citizens. Danville American.
Arrested for Ro ruing the 31 ail.
On the 25th Februarj', Frantz Bahr was ar
rested in Northampton county. Pa., for
stealing letters from the mail between Eas
ton and Kellertown. Bahr was the mail
carrier for the past nine years, and is at
present a man pver fifty years of age. The
loss of some valuable letters, addressed to
the post ofi jj-j along thi route, induced
Special Agent Row to give his official atten
tion to the matter, and on the day named
above, Bahr was detected, in the act of ab
stracting packages from the mail. The evi
dence is conclusive, one letter being found
in his possession, and the fragments of an
other discovered hidden underneath some
stones at the side of the road. On the
26th, after a hearing before U. S. commis
sioner Smith, of Philadelphia. Bahr was
committed for trial at the next Term of the
U. S. District Court.
Loyal So it-hern Men. The Union of
ficers who recently escaped from Richmond,
bear testimony to the assistance they, receiv
ed from negroes in their hazardous under
taking of making their way from the rebel
capital to the Union lines. Wherever they
found a colored man they were sure to find
a friend ; and in numerous instances they
received food from, and were piloted on the
way by these humble, yet true, friends of
the Union cause. In an account of the es
cape it is stated : "After the first officers
had discovered themselves to the negroes
and asked for food, on the Chickahominy,
the negroes organized into relief squads and.
searched the wood- for fugitives, carrying
them food from their scanty rations, and
helping them in every way in their power."
Plain Talk. At a Democratic caucus
in Hartford, Connecticut, a veteran speaker
smashed the prepared slate by a few ener
getic remarks, of which the following is a
sample :
This war which is now going on in the
land was brought on by filibustering, cheat
ing and fraud, and nothing else. If it
hadn't been for Southern Democrats bolt
ing form the National Convention at Charles
ton, we shouldn't have had any war! Swin
dling brought on the war, aud the same
spirit is being manifested here to-night. I
have been a Democrat for eighteen years,
and I want to know who I vote for without
any packing about it. I move that the re
port be tabled, and that we proceed to bal
lot. Mr. Lincoln and the Soldiers. A
letter from Grant's army, recently received
in Washington, says that nine-tenths of the
men composing it are in favor of Mr, Lin
coln's re-election,and will vote for him if they
have the opportunity. On the 22d of Feb
ruary votes were taken in several brigades
and divisions, and out of nearly thirteen
thousand ballots polled, only five hundred
and eighty-two were cast against him.
the Housatonic, off Charleston, was itself
destroyed at tnc same time,
Present to G en. G rant. A one thou

Among the ornamental features about the

a record of twenty-seven battles and seiges

siderably. Further demonstrations were
checked by the police.
