Governor Morton,of I ndiana, at the Union State Convention, held on the 23d of Feb ruary, at Indianapolis, closed a speech of great power with these living words : "They who take the sword shall peribh by the sword ; and the rebellion having wickedly and madly appealed to arms in the begin ning, by arms inu.--t it be utterly crushed and blotted from the nation. The man who would counel the nation to stav the inarch of our victorious armies, and give the re bellion pause to cover strength and vigor, under the vain pretext of compromising with our erring brethren, must be a traitor or a fool. Compromise implies concussion on both sides, and what could we cede to thenx short of the indeiierulence of their Confed eracy and the destruction of the Union, and what else would they ask us to cede ? In the very beginning, spurning all negotia tions, rejecting all moral and religious con sid"r;ttioiis, the rebellion sprang to arms, and. slapping the nation in the face with the mailed hand, challenged it to combat or ig nominious surrender. '' Iacendiarie3. Nearly every day we hear of the destruc tion of government property by tire, and in all cases the statement is made that it was the work of incendiaries. A few days ago we heard of a "number of fires" at Vicks burg, consuming large quantities of govern ment stores. Then came, on the same day, news of the burning of a Quartermaster's store at Cairo ; of a warehouse at Port land containing hav and other nronertv - loriging to the government, and of a foundry for shell and shot at Mauch Chunk. The Irequent occurrence of such fires makes one suspect tiiat there are relel spies or copper heads who are paid for destroying the prop erty of the United States, and it becomes very important that greater care and vigi lance should be exercised every-where in guarding government property. and increased zeal m detecting the villains who are engag ed in the work. A few examples made,' by punishing those detected, would liavea very g.xu enect. During the discussion on the Army Ap propriation biil, on Monday of last week, quite an animatea discussion took place, m which Pennsylvania polities was the theme of controversy. J udge Kellev. John liroom- all and Thaddeus Stevens entered the arena ant.1, dealt some terrible blows to the opposi tion. The assertion made by 3Jr. liroorn- all, in the late campaign, that Judge Wood ward aaid "that if there was to be any seces sion, i:a hopped Pennsylvania would be in cluded in the Southern boundaries." was repeated upon the floor in such a manner as to convey a conviction of its correctness. A running fire was kept up lor over an hour anj tie Democrats were repulsed at every 1 : n 1 l ni.. i. a. point, and fanally abandoned the held to the jubilant Republicans. The VallandigLam family entertain feel ings of admiration, not to say love, for the negro race in general, the female sex in par ticular that is incredible. The race has furn ished the stock in trade and the speech in spiring theme of the Ohio martyr for a num ber of j-ears. But the j ounger members of the family outstrip him in their affection for the "down trodden African. " Perley Val landigham, "a youth to fortune and fame unknown," but nevertheless a nephew of the great Ohio marts'r, is married to and lives with a negro woman in this city. His brother, living on the opposite side of the river, is also married to anegress. Musca tine journal. Information Wanted. Mrs. Elizabeth J ones, of Williamsport is desirous of obtain ing information relative to her son, Henry 13. Joues, a young man aged about nineteen years. I le was formerly a brakesman on the P. & E. liailroad, and has disappeared un der such circumstances as to cause his moth er to fear that some violence has been done him. He was last heard of at llupert. Any information concerning him will be thankfully received by his aged mother, and the press will do her a kindness by passing this notice around. LTOW TO FORM ONE REGIMENT. The Montgomery (Ga.) Advertiser, of the 5th ult., says that the Third, Seventeenth, Twenty-first, Twenty-second. Twenty sixth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-eighth and Thirty first Louisana regiments have been consoli dated into bue, to be known as the Twenty second. When it takes eight old regiments to make one new one, we know how it goes, notwithstanding the boasts of the Richmond papers about the increasing force of the reb el armies. New State. The agitation of the ques tion of a new State to be formed of East Tennessee and contiguous portions of Geor gia and Alabama, is likely to be followed by practical action on the part of tne people. There is little or no sympathy between Last Tennessee and the other parts of the State, and a division was agitated before the re bellion. ' Perplexities of the Copperheads. Neit to the rebels, we know of no class whose dilemmas are more numerous or de plorable than those of the Copperheads. Ve give a sample : 1. Unless they can pass for Democrats, they have no party, but 2. If they try to pass for Democrats, the party won't have them. 3. UnWss they can comuine with the reb els, neither can succeed, but 4. If the rebels succeed, thev can no lon ger combine with them. 5. So long as the Union cause triumphs, they can never rule the country, but 6. When the Union cause fails, there will be no country to rule. 7. Before fighting, they would seek a dis union peace, but 8. Before getting a disunion peace, they must fight the Unionists. 9. Peace to them means peace with those who are fighting against the Union, and war wun t nose wno are ngnting tor it, but 10. They find it costs more "knocks" to fight the country's friends than it would to sutxiue its enemies. 11. They believe in all the rights of man, especially m nis right to own men, but 12. They oppose ''Woman's Right." r par- ticuiarly the right of a black woman chasity and her children. to her 13. They favor the largest liberty to-wit : me noei-ty ot a Mate to secede in order to promote slavery but 14. lhey oppose insurrection and rebel- lion.Jcspeciallythe "rebellion" of the Federal Government against the sunermacv of the slave states. i j. xuey s3Tmpatmze with tlie conserva- X? i3P A.

I hey would colonize all soldiers of col or, but 18. They do not believe in colonizing Val- lanaignams who desert their colors. 19. lhey fear abolition least it may lead to amalgamation, but 20. lhey like slavery because it compels amalgamation m the South. 21. lhey believe that God has made the negro their inferior, but 22. They pretend to fear abolition will make him their superior. 23. They know McClellan to be opposed to the war, or they would not nominate him, DUt ... j ry., . i . . . j.ney want mm to carry on the war, because he is onnosed to its beincr carried on. 2;. They pretend to believe that McClel lan made war on the rebels, but . 2G. They republish his official renort as a campaign document, to show how success fully he made war on the Administration 27. To require rebels to swear to support the Constitution and laws, before voting, is to intnnjre the right ot suffrage, but- 28. To prevent volunteers who are fighting for the Union from voting, is to sustain the richts ot sunra-re. 2). They deny that the civilization of the -North is superior to that of the South, but , 30. This involves the admission either that bad as are the rebels, the Copperheads are no better, or else that the Copperheads i-ujuy no snare oi ortnern civanzation. 31. 1 he above facts tend to show that this is a contest not between States, commu nities, or institutions, but between all the depravity of the haman heart, on the one side, and what the seccsh organs openly scpffat, as "God and hutuanity," on the other. Chicign Tribune The biggest city railroad nroiect vet heard oi is pending in the Pennsylvania legisla ture. It proposes to run cars through fifty street.-? in 1'hiJadelphia most of which have not a rail in them. Of course it is an at tempt, on the part of a ring of speculators, io perpetrate a nugeirauaovtne aid ot ilar- nsburg legislation on the good people of Philadelphia. The papers of that citv strongly denounce it, and will probably suc ceed bj averting it. . mm. , Deserters and refugees are continually arriving at Brownsville, Texas ; 2,000 in all have reached that place. A party of seven hundred and fifty deserted from a rebel reg iment, and three hundred were sent in pur suit. The latter overtook the former, and joined them in their flight. A nart of them ave already got to Brownsville. In the Georgia House of Representatives a resolution has been introduced declaring that Peace be officially offered to the enemy alter every Confederate victory, on the pnn- ciples of 1776, leaving to each State the right to decide her association by a fair con vention of the people thereof. The Copperheads are "down on" Hon..

Verily, these sons of Judas are bard to please. Of about seven hundred passengers, who arrived at Liverpool, in the British steam ship Pennsylvania, there were at least two hundred who came expressly to enlist in the United States army, being attracted by large bounties The salt product of the Saginaw, Michi gan, valley the past season will aggregate 700,000 barrels, or 3,500,000 bushels. Of this product, 400,000 barrels have found a market in Chicago. It is a fact credible to barn-yard nature, that, while curses come home to roost, rooct ters never come home to curse. General KilpatncV U twenty-eight years old. A PROCLAMATION, By the President of the United States. W hereas, It has become necessary to define the cases in which insurgent enemies are entitled to the benefits of the Proclama tion of the President of the United States, which was made on the eight day of Decem ber, 18G3, and the manner in which they shall proceed to avail themselves of those benefits ; And vcliereas, The objects of that Procla mation were to suppress the insurrection and to restore the authority of the United States ; And xchereas, The amnesty therein pro vided by the President was offered with ref erence to these objects alone : Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Pres ident of the United States, do hereby pro claim and declare that the said proclamation does not apply to the cases of persons who, at the time when thev seek to obtain the benefits thereof by taking the oath there by prescribed, are in military, naval, or civ il confinement or custody, or under bonds or on parole of the civil, military, or naval authorities, or agents of the United States as prisoners, of war, or persons detained for offences of any kind, either before or after conviction ; and that, on the contrary, it does apply only to persons who, being yet at large and free from any arrest, confine ment, or duress, shall voluntarily come for ward and take the said oath with the pur pose of restoring peace and establishing the national authority. Prisoners excluded from the amnesty offered in the said proclama tion may apply the President for clemency, like all other offenders, and their applica tions will receive due consideration. I do further declare and proclaim, that the oath prcscibed in the aforesaid procla mation of theeigth of Decern ber, 1803, may be taken and subscribed before any commis sioned officer, civil, military, or naval, in the service of the United States, or any civil or military officer ot a State or lemtory, not in insurrection, who, by the law thereof, may be qualified for administering oaths. All officers who receive such oaths are here by authorised to give certificates thereon to the persons respectively by whom they are made. And such officers are hereby requir ed to transmit the original records of such oaths at as early a day as may be conveni ent to the Department of State, where they will be deposited and remain in the archives of the Government. The Secretary of State will keep a register thereof, and will, on ap plication in proper cases, issue certificates of such records, in the customary form of such certificates. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the sal of the U- nited States to be affixed. g xjvivs in uie viiy oi v asnington tne ' twenty-sixth dav of March, in the vear of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-lour, and ot the independence of the united States the eightv-eicth. Abraham Lincoln, By the President : Wm. II. Sewakd, Sect of State. Too much for ins Money. A native of the green isle of Erin called at one of our drug stores, the other day, with a perscrip tion, the putting up of which he watched with great curiosity. W hat is that, anyway? ' asked the cus tomer. xnis, saia tne obliging apothecary, is tincture cermifuga raccomsa and liniment of saponis cantharides, and opii." A look ot itcwildermeut changed to one of grave concern as the Irishman inquired "And what s the price I 1 hirty i-even cents, was the renlv. "Och, byjabers," said Patrick, "I thought two such names as that would cost me at least a dollar and a half. " "Say, Mr. Clerk, have you a good strong porter about the hotel i 1 cs sir, we have the strongest one m the is tare. "Is he intelligent? "Quite intelligent for a porter." "Do you consider him fearless that is bold, courageous ?' ' "I know he is. he wouldn't be afraid of Satan himself." 'Now, Mr. Clerk, if your porter is intel ligent enough to find room Jso. 1,000, fear less enough to enter, and strong enough to get my trunk away from the bedbugs, I would like to have him bring it down." 'Putting your foot in it," it seems, is a term of legitimate origin. According to the 'Asiatic Researches, a very curious mode of trying the title to land is practiced in llmdoostan. Iwo holes are dug in tie dis puted spot, in each of whieh the lawyer on either Eide putf one of their legs, and there remain until one of them is tired, or com plains of being stung by insects in which case his client is defeated. In our country it is generally the client, and not the lawj-er, who "puts his foot in it " Signs of the Times. The Legislature of Maryland, 9th ult. , passed an act to re peal the law preventing negroes from navi gating vessels in -that State; also, an act repealing the law compelling the State to payior au slaves tinea m attempting to es cape from their masters. On the same day a resolution asking Congress to appropriate ten million's of dollars to compensate slave owners for their emancipation was indefi nitely postponed, after an animated debate. Rebel Soup. A Richmond papessays: A gentleman gave us for publication the fol lowing receipt for making good, wholesome soup. He obtained it of his landlord : Take three buckets of water, four onions, two long-legged eollard leaves, and a small beef bone, and put them in a large pot, over the smoke. When the pot boils, stir with a tal low candle and add one pint of common salt, that has been used in pick ring pork. ilafteman'is journal CLEARFIELD, PA., APRIL 6, 1S64.

Dear Journal: The allusion made, in my last, in reference to the matter of gold and our greenbacks seems to have created some talk on 'change.and the "bears" have taken especial means to show to the unitia ted that, after the war, the greenbacks must become worthless. The other day a farmer stepped into one of our stores and enquired the price of provisions, groceries, &c. said he wanted to buy but had no money. He was responsible and the merchant told hiui U was all right "order what you want, and I will put it on the books. " The farmer bought a bill of sundry articles and, when about to go, said to the merchant, "I could pay you if I was in Clearfield a few moments. I had $300 in greenbacks, but I happened to tell one of the monied men when in that town the other day, that I had that amount of money of that kind, and he told me that I had better not keep it on hand that he would take it at 6 per cent. So I gave it to him. These greenbacks, or government paper, will not be worth much, ' the farm er continued, "after the war is over. " The merchant said to him, "why vou must be a democrat t" "Yes," he replied, "lam a democrat." Then said the merchant, "the monied man in Clearfield that you lent your money to on iuterest,is a democrat ?" "i es," said the farmer, "he is, and of the copper head stamp." Well now, Mr. Farmer, do you supjose that this man would take your $300 in greenbacks, which he tells you is of doubtful value, and make himself responsi ble to you for that sum and $18 per annuni iuterest,' if he really thought it was of donhr- f ul value ? Do you suppose that any one of the hionied men of Clearfield would take these greenbacks and pay 6 per cent inter est for the use of them and become respon sible for their face to you, if they thought them worthless? Do you not see that the matter is certainly an absurdity? That monied man has approached you in such a manner that you thought he was in sym pathy with you, and did not want to see you loose $300 by the bankruptcy of these Uni ted States, but he would take it and give you 6 per cent and loose the principal and all for your welfare ; generous man ! Well, if you will let men dupe you in that kind of style, you ought to loose your greenbacks. If you have not got more respect and love for your country than to trust 300 of her money to a speculating Copperhead in preference to the United States loan. then you ought to emigrate to some other part of the globe; for the man that has not confi dence enough in the country that protects him, to" sustain its money, should not seek that protection. There is the game that these profess-to-be-a-loyal men play. .Tbcy readily take the greenbacks at 6 per cent, when the government takes them on her loan at 6 per cent payable every six months in gold, which, at the present premium of gold, would bring the annual per cent up to 9(3-10 Per cent interest. And.no donhr,.hiit. I many of these same men, who cry down the j greenbacks, invest them in this very U. 8. Joan, and thereby really get the greenbacks for 'l(d,Z per cent interest per annum, from the farmer or original lender. Why is it that people will be so blind to their r.wn interests? Why is it, that peo ple will lend money to thee men who are coutinually harping about the inability of the Government to redeem its paper? 'They certainly must consider the "growlers" bet ter than the Government, or they would not prefer to lend their money to them, in pref erence to the Government. If the country becomes bankrupt, do we not all go in the same boat, or do the "harpies" insure these growlers a "life gum band" that will rido the breakers of the financial ruin that the copperheads see in the distance ? If any man will look for a moment, he can satisfy himself that the greenbacks are not depre ciating, to the extent that gold is at premi um. The fact that there is always a differ ence between paper money and gold, in time of war, has been the case in all wars. It existed in England, France. Russia, and r- cry country that ever engaged in war. The . . . . A7 1 ' I . , V"1 . xotk city a lone require &UX),000 iu gold per day, to pay their du ties on imports. That all roes intr tli. IT S. Treasury, and it accumulated there to millions laying in the Treasury hoarded up without auy remedy to dispose of it until a few days ago. This daily drain of soennn in gold from the channels of trade and com merce, and the natural hording of gold in time of war 'by the timerous, soon created a demand for the precious metal. Tho ;m. lorters must have their goods ; to get them they must have the told : - to Cft tho rrrAA they must offer a premium; the "bulls" and bears are on hand and 11 n if. cmfic and down it comes, just as the -public pulse happens to beat.
