W0EDS THAT BREATHE.
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. ''

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

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.

ham Liii'iom has done, can do, or ever mav
uo, w maintain uie union, arc unconstitu
tional and revolutionary usurpations.
17. 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

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

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

with great curiosity.
W hat is that, anyway? ' asked the cus

A look ot itcwildermeut changed to one of
grave concern as the Irishman inquired "And
what s the price I

"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

"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

of trying the title to land is practiced in

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 "

Rebel Soup. A Richmond papessays:
A gentleman gave us for publication the fol

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

CLEARFIELD, PA., APRIL 6, 1S64.
COBBESPONDENOS OP THE J0UBNAL-
Letter from Philipsburg:, Pa.
Philipsburg, Pa., Mar. 28th, 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 . ,

&UX),000 iu gold per day, to pay their du

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. IIen tb- aAwnm r
gold on our greenbacks. Stop importations
and in a short time, a dollar greenback will
ue on a par witn a dollar in gold. Leroi.
The Washington correspondent of the
Daily Wisconsin eays : "A well informed
friend, who has just arrived from the West,
predicts that X. P. Banks will yet look up
largely as a Presidential candidate before
the sitting of the Baltimore Convention.
His speech delivered at the inauguration of
the newly elected Governor of Louisiana in
very favorably received throughout the
country.
It is said that the rebel guerrillas have kil
