s i 410) Iff Raftsman's $0imial. BY 8. J. ROW. OLEAEFIELD, PA., APEIL 6, 1864. THE HEW TACK. The Copperhead party with all its help lessness of factions and want of principles, is possessed of a mixture of shrewdness. It excela in knowing how to appesJ to preju dice. J ust now, in despair of any true affir mative ground to plant its feet upon, it turns instinctively to its old resource it in.ikes a dead onset upon the Union cause by trying to stir up the old bias against the blacks, un der the newly found term of "iniwgena tion." Years ago it was "amalgamation;" but new words create a new interest in old things; they import some new discovery, or a new turn to an old question ; and you can always get a few converts by a skillful use of newly found terms. If now they can make a set of green gulls believe that all distinction of color is being obliterated, and a general mixing up of black and white is inaugurated, as a consequence of setting free thc slaves that intermar riages arc to be the order of the day why, the said gulls can perhaps bo caught. So all the newspapers, of a coppery cast, are reveling in 'miscegenation. ' It is a subject which they appear to understand their taste3 and instincts seem to run in that way and to read thoir effusions one would al most think that this is a 'niLscegenating' world, and perhaps that portion of it inhab ited by copperhead editors is. for all that the balance of it knows. To give color to all this fuss and stir, some amittuniticfi must be found some show of facts or jsseitto-facts for democratic facts are largely of the pseudo kind ; and so some liar has set afloat the story about the female teachers in South Carolina. Of course, it was all warp and woof, a lie a lie up and a lie down ; a lie longitudinally and latitudi-1 nally. But what of that ? It suits the copperheads just as well ; and their editors, being expert in. that sort of argument, will be at no loss how to use it promptly. The thing might succeed better if it were new. But it is au old and exceedingly bad smelling affair. It was turned over and o ver in the last Presidential canvass ; and all honest and decent people heard quite e nough of it then. The people understood it to be all a lie so far as any assertion of fact is made ; and that it is only a vagary of a very poor and polluted imagination, so far as it Is a fancy. Much joy to th'e copper heads with 'miscegenation !' The Plot Developing. It is becoming more manifest, daily, that the so-called "Fremont movement" is in the interest of the Copperhead Democracy. One proof of this is just furnished by the fact that the Cincinnati Volksfreund, the only German Copperhead paper published in that city, has placed the nam 2 of -Fremont at its head, a.s an independent candidate fur President, accompanied by the following comment : "Geueral McCIellan was our first choice. We were dctermind to exerci.e the infiu onci? of bur papr in favor of General Mc CIellan, but iu order to beat Abraham Lin coln, 3IcCle!lau is not tronsr enough in the West. Influential leaders of the Demo cratic party argue that if Fremont shall stand up against Lincoln, we shall perhaps, be able, cutting through between both, to effect the election of a Democrat of our col or, who will recognize the South. Abraham Lincoln must be beaten at all hazards. This is the leading thought to the step we have taken to-day." The Republican Germans of the South West ami elsewhere, discovering the genv ine motive which propels this "Fremont movement," are rapidly alandoiung it and expressing a determination to support the nominee of the Union National Convent ion. Wc hope that Gen. Fremont has nothing to di with this movement, and that he will admonish his German friends, throughout the country, against the designs of the ori ginators and fomentors of this plot to secure ,by distentions and divisions in the Union ranks, tho election of the Copperhead can didate to the Presidency next fall. New Hampshire. We regard the result of the election in New Hampshire as a most important harbinger of the future. This magnificent victory is the forerunner and the symbol of that grandest of national tri umphs, which will result, next fall, in the crushing out of the rebellion, the suppression of factious partizanship, the vindication of tho majesty of the law, and the full cstabish ment of an indissoluble and regenerated U nion ; for if the Opposition could not carry that State, with all their appeals to the Chae and Fremont men to allow them to triumph that Lincoln might be defeated, where is the State they can hope to carry next Fall ? There is, therefore, in this e- lection, that which is precnant of hope and cheer to every friend of this coun- try. and all should take courage and work r certain victory. MIUNING OF LLBE5T PEKOH. General Neal Dow Confirms the Be Jort. A long and interesting speech was made by Gen. Neal Dow, at Portland, Maine, on Friday March 25th, at the public reception given him by the citizens, and in the course of his remarks, he confirmed the report that the rebels in Richmond mined the Libby Prison, at the approach of Kilpatrick's for ces. The General gave the following ac count of the barbarous act : . "They told us of Kilpatrick's raid. On the first of March arrangements had been made to receive him." And what do you suppose the arrangements were ? To de fend Richmond ? V'as that it ? No. They mined Libby Prison, with the intention of blowing it and us ; to use their own phrase, ' to blow us to hell !" (Voice, Is there Siroof'of that ?) That is capable of proof, cannot tell you how the fact was intimated to us the next day, without betraying those from whom the information came. On tho morning of Wednesday, March lid, alter we had been informed of the gunpowder plot, Dick Turner, the Inspector of Military Pris ons, was asked by many officers at different times if we were correctly informed, and he assured us it was true ; that a large quantity of powder had been placed under the prison, to olow us up, if Kilpatrick had come in, and that it would be done yet if attempts were made to rescue us. "Rev. Dr. Smith, President of Randolph Macon College, well-known down Southland known iu the North too as an ableand influ ential man, came into the prison to vUit Lieut. Col. Nichols of the Eighteenth Con necticut regiment, with whom he was ac quainted, lie said that powder had been placed in the basement for the purpose of "blowing us into atoms." Colonel Nichols did not believe it. Dr. Smith assured him it was so. He ha 1 then come from the of fice of Judge Ouid, Commissioner of Ex changes who told him it was so. Rev. Dr. McCabe said the same thing to Colonel Ces nola, of tho Fourth New Vork cavalry, and others. Some officers were in the back kitchen at the window directly over tho door leading into the cellar. Major Turner, the commandant of the prison Dick Turner and four or live rebel officers went into the cellar, and on coming out they remained a few min utes at the d'or, and one of the officers said, "By (J , if you touch that off it will blow them to h ,sure enough ?" Oa the morn ing we came away. Major Turner assured Capt. Sawyer and Capt. ilynu.who were ex changed in connection wirh myself, that powder was there, and he said, "rather than nave you rescued I would have blown you to h , even if we had gone there ourselves." At first we could not believe it, not that we did not supiose them capable of it. We did not suppose them to be fool enough to be guilty or an act like that. The destruc tion of nine hundred Federal officers in that way would not have been a fatal blow to the Union cause, but it would have drawn down upon them the execrations of all mankind ; it would have united the Northern people as one man, and would have filled the North ern heart with an intense indignation, and when Richmond should lie captured, it would have been utterly destroyed and blot ted out forever from the earth. At first we could not believe that such an act could .have been contemplated, but we now regard it as established I y "satisfactory proof. Such is the temper of the leaders of the rebellion. Such their character. CIEGULAE Questions Respecting the Education of in digent Children made Orphans by the tear, to be. answered by Secretaries of School Hoards. The Governor, in his annual message, ur ges upon the Legislature the claims of "the poor orphans of our soldiers, who have given or shall give their lives to this crisis," and expresses the opinion, "that their main tainance and education should be provided for by the State." Of the justice of this claim no one for an instant can doubt. The first step toward carrying put this humane suggestion of his Excellency, is to ascertain the number of such children in the State. This can best be accomplished by the of ficers of the school boards, in the several counties and cities. It will be an act of be nevolence that will result in good to thoe who have been made widows and orphans Yy tho war. You are, therefore, requested to forward to this Department, answers to thrt following questions, viz : 1st. What is the nuinberof indigent chil dren in your district, whose fathers have been killed, or have died in the military or naval sen ice of the United States ? 2d. Are there any institutionsof learning in your county, that will undertake to pro vide for the mainfainance and education of a niiKiber of said orphans, if security lj given that all reasonable expenses shall be paid by the Siate ? 3d. If there are any such schools, how many children will each take ? . It is highly important that this circular, with the questions' answered, be returned by the fifteenth of Aptil. if possible. Thi3 DeDartment cannot too strongly urge upon the officers herein addressed, the necessity of prompt action in this matter. 1 hey may thereby bring joy to many a sorrow striken, destitute family. Charles l. Coburv. Superintendent of Common Schools. The Sec't of the different school Bosrds are requested to furnish the information de sired in the 1st interrogotoiy to the County Superintendent Clearfield at an early a date as posible. Hon. G. "W. Scofield. The Washington correspondent of theGi rard, ErieCo. , Union, in speaking of our Con gressman, pays him the following deserved compliment : 'Tour distinguished member, lion. G. W. ScoSeld, is winning laurels in the House. Ranking foremost among the new members, he is fast becoming a leader, andlias already acquired an uuusual influence, for so brief a term of service. Of course yoa. will re turn him, and thus doubtedly counsel your own interests. Sound in doctrine ; thor ough and deep in thought ; eloquent and ef fective in delivery : he has properly been named by a journal here "Young Pennsyl vania." ' Over three hundred wagons have already passed through St. Joseph, Mo., on their way to the gold regions of Idaho. All were heavily laden with merchandise for market. Jeff. Davis ha appointed Stb. as a day of fasting. &c. Friday. April '"The Late Eiot Case-Previous Pardon, etc." At the January term cf our court, Solomon Pyle, Richard Bard andZenas Hartshorn were convict ed of riot, under circumstances which induced their counsel and a large number of our citizens to apply to the Governor for a pardon.Jwhich was granted. This has aroused the ire of the editors of the Clearfield Republican, and excited the in dignation of some correspondent of the Harris burg Patriot and Union, to such an alarming ex tent that they virtually advise their "Democratic" friends to tafce the law into their own hands here after, and to hold themselves in readiness '-to de fend their homes and firesides in blood." with much mora to the same purpose, not necessary to repeat. ' It is due to the Governor, and to those citizens who asked for the pardon.that all the facts in tie case should be fairly stated, and if, in doing so the feelings of any "Iemocrats! are hurt, they may thank their party friends for having render ed tho statement necessary. We have had no dis position to enlarge on the circumstances attend iug tbo trial and conviction heretofore, because the reputation of the leaders of the dominant party of this county for bigotry, intolerance and proscription is bad enough already, and we had hoped ior their own credit, and the credit of the county, that the matter would have been permit tad to re.st. On tho eight before the October election the "Democrats he! a meeting in Curwensriile. After the meeting was over, a number of persons were assembled in the bar-room of Bloom's tav ern. Among the rest was a young soldier named W'in. Addleman, who was at koine on furlough, having been wounded at the buttle of Gettysburg r a fracture of the lower jaw. He cheered lor Curtin. and was immediately attacked by George A. Blrfom knocked down, pounded, his partly healed wound torn open, and so badly abused that, although it is more than five months since it oc curred, he is yet suffering the consequences in the hospital. Pyle, Bard and Harshom. with jther3 who were present, interfered, pulled Bloom off, and rescued Addleinan.or he would probably have been killed. He was removed to the store of Hip pie and Faust where his wounds were dressed. In the meantime Bloom started home. ' Subsequently Bloom made an information charging Pyle. Bard. Hartshorn, and othors un known, with riot; alleging that they came to his house about midnight (the same night of the af fray) and endeavored by various pretences, to get him out of the house that failing to do so thev threw stones and other missiles through the win dowsfired guns and pistols, made threats and J ef t a tar can and a bag of feathers, t hey were arrested. bound over to court, and at- January term thecarecame on for trial. The prosecution was conducted by District Attorney Test and Senator Wallace; II. B. Swoope nasfor the defendants. When the Jury had been empanneled. just as the pros-eeutcr wnscalled to the stand, and before anv evidence had been given. Sheriff Perks went to m. M'Bride of Curwensville, where he was sit ting in the court-room, and made this remark; "Yon had better pel your boy to settle tki-t matter, for ve've srot a jury tiere that mill convict then sure." (The remark was heard by several per sons, as well as by Mr. M'Bride to whom it was niade.J The trial proceeded Bloom and his wife to!d"itheir story, identifying the three young men swearing positively as to each, and stating that Pyle threw a can f tar through the window. They swore that five shots were fired, that there was a great deal of holloing and noise, and that several large stones were thrown. Jaob Bilger testified that be lived about thirty rods off, that Le heard Bloom and his wife holloing in tho night, heard no other noise, and no shooting, ex cept eomo early in the night by people going home from the Democratic meeting. lie went to the houe. found tar and feathers and stones, and the window broken no person was hurt. The defendants proved that Pyle was not there, because ho went straight home from Curwensville, wer.tto bed, and remained there until morning. B. B. Draucker accompanied him home John Harlcy lived in the house, and swore that he came home about eleven o'clock, went to bed, and slept with him Seymour K033 also lived in the house, and testiGed to the same fact. It was further pro ven, by four witnesses, that Bloom was drunk on that evening and that his wife had also beon seen in Graft's Lager-Beer Saloon drinking. She swore positively that she was not there at all. But Mrs: Graff and four other witnesses testified that she was there. It was proved by John Kllinger. who lived 30 reds from Bloom, that no shots were fired, nor were there any marks of shot to be found about the premises he swore that he heard no noise except Bloom and his wife holloing. Xino citizens, Messrs. Fleming. Clark Draucker. Hemp hill, Mason. Bllinger, Hilo. Brown and Williams testified that Bloom's character for truth and ve racity was bad. This was substantially the evi dence in the case. Senator Wallace, In summing up for the Com monwealth, made one of his regular political har rangues talking about who were '-running the machine" "tax collectors" '-assessors." Ac. appealing directly to the political prejudices of the jury, and, as it turned out. not appealing in rain. 4 Judge Linn, in his charge, instructed the jury as explicitly as was possible, that Pyle had '-satisfactorily accounted for his whereabouts" on the night in question, and ought not to be convicted. He stated very clearly the rules of evidence in re gard to witnesses contradicted in material points, and to the effect of the impeachment of their vera city. The jury consisted of the following persons: Thomas MehatTey. G W. Shitnmel, John Living ston, Henry Krif&r, Hobert Young, Samuel Ful lerton, Win. i. Dickey. W S.Thorpe, Robert hi. Klegal, John Brechtol and Samuel Newcomer. After being out nine iiorus. they returned a gen eral verdict of guilty against the whole three. Judgo l.inn h:td in the meantime gone home. Judge Bloom was a relative of the prosecutor, and the sentence was therefore postponed until the March term. It was soon ascertained that the evidence had very little to do with the verdict that the ma jority of the juror assigned political reasons for their action some of their number accusing the man who held out for au acquittal with being bribed, etc. The evidence of these facts is on file in tbo Executive Department at Harrisbstrg. In no other way could a verdict, so manifestly con trary to tho evidence and the instructions oT the court, be accounted for. Pyle was clearly inno cent, beyond the shadow of a doubt. The evi dence as to the others, was, by reason of the con tradrctiOLS.and the impeach ment of veracity, whol ly insufficient to convict. Yet this jury, verify ing the prediction of Sheriff Perks, did convict the whole throe, and did it for political reasons, as one of their number has testified. It is said by the correspondent of tho Patriot and Union that, when the pardon was presented to the court. Judge. Linn pronounced it improper. We were not in court on the occasion, but have talked on the subject with several persons who were present, all of whom say Judge Linnexpres od no opinion whatever on the subject. We felt sure that he would not be guilty of anything so indiscreet that whatever might be hia opinion, he would keen it to himself. It is no part of the duty of a Judge to comment upon the acts of the Executive ; nor could he know the reasons which may have influenced the Governor. Any such remark therefore, as that attributed to him. would have been highly improper. Instead of Governor Curtin being censurable for pardoning these young men. the censure of every right minded citizen should fall, and will fall, upon the bigoted and intolerant leaders of the dominant party of this county, who have dragged politics into the court and into the jury box, and have sought to prostitute the tribunal e reeied for the protection of the rights, property and life of the citizea. to base partisan purposes'. We have no sympathy with men who would take the law into their own hands, and condemn as strongly as any man can all riotous demonstra tions. If any persons followed Bloomnd behav ed in the manner alleged, they onght to have been convictod and punished notwithstanding the great provocation. But they ought to have been first proven guilty by credible testimony and sufficient evidence, in the way prescribed, and under the forms of law. They ought to be tried as all other offenders are tried, and convicted on the evidence and not for political reasons and from political prejudice. Such a conviction, even if they were guilty, is a far worse calamity than the offence with which they were charged. AVhen courts and juries are made the theater of political display and the instruments of political proscription, then indeed are our liberties in danger then may pa triots be truly alarmed. A Vile Slander Exposed. The Copperhead til-wspapers have been engaged, for some timepast, iu publishing a vile slander upon the brave and heroic women, who volunteered to teach the freed blacks at Port Royal, which originated with the Manchester (X. II.) . Union, and was palmed off as being confirmed by the Rev. L. Billings, Lieut. Col. of the 1st South Car olina regiment, who was at home on account of sickness. We were frequently asked a3 to the truth of the story, which we pronounc ed false, but did not deem it necessary to publicly contradict it, feeling assured that those interested would do so in due time. "We now print tho .following letters from i T" i:i: 1 -r t t , , ite. jj. jjiiiiugs aua .ur. Jj. j. u arrows iu refutation of the vile slander alluded to : Brattleeoko, Vt.. March 23d, 1S64. To the Editors of the X. Y. Tribune: Siu : The atroeiouscalumny upon the lady teachers at Port Royal originated last Fall with the Munc!iegter(S. 11.)

Xothing but the foiiie.-t political venom could have induc ed such a libel u on a noble class of woman engaged in a noble work. It is humliating to fuel obliged to deny the gross auddisgust ing falsehoods of aa unscrupulous press.

Shaw, Esq., l'nvidmt Xothunl Freed men's association. ; Dear S IR : You r note of the 21st inst. calling my attention to a slanderous assault on the character of the lady teachers of our colored school at Port Royal, reached me this evening. Xo well informed parties require any de nial of such foolish and low statements as those put forth by The X. V. Jera'ld and AT. 11. 1'ai iot, said to have twen authoriz ed by a Lieut. Col. Liberty Billings of X. II. Yet, for the benefit oi those who depend on such sheets as those tor thoir informa tion and faith, it may be proper f.r me to say, that after spending fimr or five months in the vicinity of Port Royal among those much abused teachers not rim a report of any such case of crime has reached me as having occurred among the teachers who have oeen or are now employed there. The officer referred to has probably made no such statements for he doubtless" knows, that these teachers are ichite. ladies while the ''little mulattoes" are claimed and sup ported by mothers of a much darker hue than themselves, whose fathers are suppos ed to l'ronk" quite above thoir sable i.nnter nity. Those teachers, in my judgment, are not surpassed by ladies at home or in foi citrn missions in moral excellencies, or self sacrifi cing labors. Most respectfully, L. J. Barrows. Sup't Ed.

As our Copperhead neighbors published the false and base slander referred to above, will they now have the manliness and fair ness (of which they frequently boast) to publish the refutation also ? We shall see ! Copperhead Rebellion in Illinois. A special dispatch from Charleston, Cole county, Illinois, to the St. Louis Democrat, says the Copperheads came into that town to attend court, on Monday the 2Sth March, with guns concealed in wagons and armed with pistofs. Some soldiers in the court hoitse yard were drawn into the affray and a general light instantly occurred. The coun ty sheriff sprang from the judge's stand and commenced firing a pistol at the Union men. Major Vork, surgeon ot the 54th, was one of the first victims. The Union men be ing outnumbered at the court house, ran to the houses and stores for arms and were fired upon from the windows and ten or twelve wounded. Col. Mitchell, of the,54th regiment was wounded badiv. Oliver Saler, James Oonlrich, Wiiliaui llart and J. C. Jeffreys killed. Several soldiers belonging to the 54th were wounded severely. The 54th regiment arrived in the afternoon, and formed on the square. Xelson Wells, the man vho fired the first hot, was instantly killed. John Cooper, a prisoner, was shot while trying to escape. Col. Urooks, with a squad of men. went in pursuit of a gring of Copperheads aliout seven miles distant. Captain Williams has some twenty promi nent seccsh, implicated iu the affair, under guard at the Court House. Col. Mitchell had a conference with lion. O. B. Picklin and Judge Constable, who seemed very anx ious that steps should bo taken to prevent a further outbreak. Later advices state that the rebels, 1,500 strong, are encamped near Mattoon. and that they are receiving accessions from the neigh boring counties. Troops have been sent on from Indianapolis and other places, and Gen. TIeintzlenin has been ordered thith er. What the result will be has not as yet, transpried. A Youth's History of the Eebellion. We are glad to see that Rev. William M. Thayer, author of ''Pioneer Boy" and other popular works, is engaged upon a His tory of the Rebellion for the young, and that Messrs. Walker, Wise, & Co., of Boston, will issue the first volume about the first of April. The impo rtance of such a work can not be over-estimated. The j-oung ought to understand the nature and history of thLs struggle, as a means of inspiring their hearts with patriotism, and attaching them with all the ardor of youth to free" institutions. There are lessons for them in this war that can be derived from no other source, and we rejoice that they are going to appear in per manent shapes. All intelligent parents will desire to have t heir children instruct ed on subjects that they may not lose the lesou of the hour. The value of this History will not be confined to the young. Many families cannot afford to purchase either of the histories of the Rebellion written avowedly for adults, the cheap est of which will cost seven or eight dol lars. . As this work of Mr. Thayer's when completed, will not probably cost half that, and yet will contain the substance of the larger works, families who cannot afford the larger works (made large by the intro duction of public documents, long speeches, ic., that few desire to read) will find this a valuable history for their use, whether they have children or not. Condensation the most in the smallest space is what our peo ple crave ; and this, we understand, will be a characteristic of this History of the rebel lion for the young. Ihis woik, the price of which we learn from the publishers is to be $1,25, should attract the attention of Book Atrents. as it is destined to have an immense sale all over the country. .
