CLEABFIELD, PA., MAY 25, 1864..
THE WAS NEWS.
Advices from Pqpt Hudson to May 6 re
port that the Rebels had established a block
ade at a bend in the Red River about 25
miles above Fort De Hussy, and, in attempt
ing to pass the point, we had in four days
lost three transports and two of the light
mailed gunboats. The Rebel blockading
force is said to number 10,000. Advices of
May 7 state the Rebels had beeri making
considerable demonstrations in that vicinity,
and a report was current that they were in
trenched in considerable force at and near
Clinton. Brigadier-Gen. UUmann, who is
in sole command of Port Hudson, ha3 so
completely strengthened the fortifications of
that post as to defy any attack from ten
times the number the Rebels now have in
that region, On the 3d inst. Gen. Ullmann
attacked and pursued some 2,000 Rebeh o
ver five miles, but the enemy declined his
offer of battle and skedaddled. Guerrillas
are rery busy, cutting telegraph wires, etc.,
but many of them have been taken prison
ers. ' Gen. Omann's force is in good heath
and fine spirits.
Oa Wednesday the lStli the rebels moved
a heavy column dawn and hurled it on Gen.
Butlers oatr works, but were repulsed with
fearful slaughter. Again and again they
endeavored to drive lis out of our entrench
ments, bat ea:h time they paid dearly for
their rashness. Butler withdrew his forces
to his inner line of entrenchments, where
he can defend himself against any force that
may be brought against him. The advance
is said to have been a mere feint to enable
Gen- Kautz to destroy the Danville Rail
road and the James River Canal, which he
accomplished most effectually. The destruc
tion of these means of transportation' i3 a
heavy loss to the rebels.
Further accounts from GetL Averill con
firm and extend the previous statement of
hia operations on the Virginia and Tennes
see Railroad. The best evidence of the ut
ter defeat of the Rebels under Jones and
Jenkins at "Wytheville,- i3 that Gen. Aver
ille, after the rout, pushed straight forward
on the line of the railroad, and completed
its destruction to a point four miles east of
Christiansburg, more than fifty miles from
"Wytheville. Of his subsequent movements
or of his intended operations there h no in
telligence. On Thursday the 16th, the Rebels under
Ewell attacked our right flank,, buf were re
pulsed after a severe fight, Birriey's and
Tyler's divisions and sorrie of "Warren's
troops were on the extreme right. The men
behaved most nobly. The rebel loss was
heavy. Our loss was 150killed and missing,
and about 600 wounded. We captured over
300 prisoners. Twenty-five thousand vet
erans have ben added to Grant army since
the recent engagements
Gen. Sherman is still advancing, and the
rebels are falling back. At latest accounts
our forces were in possession of Dalton,
Reseca and Rome. Several severe battles
were fought, in which the rebels were severe
punished. The Latest. The news from the front
indicates that Lee has retreated toff ards the
North Ann. Longstreet's. corps started
south at one o'clock on Friday night, and
Ewell's corps followed on Saturday night.
Thus, it would seem, that Gen. Grant has
compelled Lee to abandon his strong posi
tion at Spottsylvania.
On Friday the rebels made another at
tack on Butler's position at Point of Rock?,
on the Appomattox, and drove in our pick
ets. As Boon as the pickets reached the
reserve, two batteries opened on' the rebels
with a deadly fire killing and wounding
many.
Our army under Grant is officially stated
to be as strong now as when it entered 6n
the campaign, and better supplied than
heretofore.
From the Red River we have news of the
safe return of all the gunboats below the falls,
while the force under Banks is moving down
by land.
Gen. Sherman is again on the move for
ward. : '
An official report of the killed and woun
ded in the late battles, presents the facts
that 4,000 men were killed, about 25,000
wounded, and 5,000 missing the latter in-,
eludes stragglers and prisoners. It is also
stated,- on the same accurate authority, that
,not more than ten per cent have been dan
gerously wounded, and that a large number
will be ready for the field within the next
two weeks. This statement should go far to
soothe the anxiety of thousands who are in
terested in the fate and condition of those
brave defenders of the flag.
The Washington Chronicle states that
Rev. Dr. Hawks has temporarily left Balti
more, because, as is supposed, he was invi
ted to ive an account of his stewardship to
the military authorities.
The Pena'a Militia to be Called Out.
THE LAW WHAT 13 IT ?
Governor Curtin has issued a proclama
tion, advising the several militia organiza
tions in Pennsylvania, to hold themselves in
readiness, for any call that may be made
upon them, for a term of service of riot
less than one hundred days, by the General
Government. This, no doubt, will some
what surprise many persons ; but the Gov
ernor's proclamation will not surprise any
one half so much as tLe fact that the new
Militia Bill has not generally been publish
ed ere this. For the benefit of our citizen?,
we give the following outline of the bill,
which takes up sonde thirty-three pags of
printed matter -for which synopsis we are
indebted to the Pittsburg Daily Commer
cial ... . .' ,
:. The bill bears date March 30, 1864, and
provides First, That every able-bodied white
male citizen, resident in the State, of the
age of twenty-one add iirider the age of .forty-five
years, shall be enrolled ia the militia,
with the usual exemptions of idiots, luua
tics, paupers, etc.
Second, Assessors shall annually, and at
the same time they are engaged in taking
the assessment or valuation of real or per
sonal property, record all names cf those li
able to duty, and place a certified copy in
the office of the County Commissioners of
each county in the State, and such record
shall be deemed a sufficient notification to
all persons whose names are thus recorded
that they have been enrolled iii the militia.
When the roll is completed, assessors shall
put up in public places notice similar to the
United States enrollment.
Section third provides severe penalties for
any assessor, clerk or commissioner, who
thall refuse or neglect to perform any of -the
duties provided.
Section 4. The enrolled militia shall be
subject to no active duty, except in case of
war, invasion, the prevention of invasion,
the suppression of riots, and to aid the civ
il authorities m. executing the laws of the
commonwealth, in which ca.se the Commander-in-chief
shall order out, for actual
semce, by draft or otlierwise, as many of
the militia as necessity demands. '
Section 6. Every soldier,ordered out for
active duty by the proper authorities, who
has not some able-bodied substitute, shall
serve, or pay the sum of seventy-five dollars
within twenty-four hours of such time. Ex
emptions are similar to those provided by
Ihe United States service, giving members
of the Legislature exemption while on duty,
and fifteen day3 before and after the time of
their actual term. ...
Section 10 provides that the city of Phil
adelphia shall be divided into four brigades,
and the city of Pittsburg to have one brigade,
and the rest of the "counties into a brigade
each, where they have the minium number.
Section 64 provides for armories for com
panies. Section 66. When a commander orders
his company for military duty or for election
of officers, he shall order one or more co-n-iiissioned
officers or privates to notify the
men belonging to the company to appear at
such time and place to every person whom
he is ordered to notify ; if he fails to do so,
he shall forfeit not less than twenty dollars
nor more than one hundred dollars.
. Section 67 provides for time of notice at
least four days previous to call ten days for
flection, and when the company is paraded,
the commanding officer shall verbally noti
fy the men at appear, at a future day riot ex
ceeding thirty days from time of such pfi-
rade, which verbal notice shall Le a sufficient
warning.
Section 70 to section 81 provides for dici
pline, training, inspection and camp duty.
Section 82 to 91 1 provides for rosters, or
derly books, rolls and returns.
Section 92 provides for calling out the mi
litia iti case of war, invasion", insurrection,
tumult,- or riots. May order out divisions,
brigades, regiments, battallion's, or compa
nies, or may order to be detached, parts or
companies thereof, or any number of men
to be drafted therefrom.
Section 93 provides for compensation, giv
ing pay and rations same as United States
Government.
Section 97 provides that proceedings and
courts' martial and courts of inquiry f-hall
be conducted in all respects as provided for
in the Army -of the United States, and pun
ishments as in like cases in said army. Pro
vided that the same are not inconsistent
with the provisions of this act.
Section 98 provides that all penalties, not
exceeding one hundred dollars, by summa
ry conviction before any alderman of a city,
shall be without exception or appeal.
The Secretary of "War has issued an' im
portant 43er with regard to prisoners, sta
ting that it has been officially reported that
Mr. Ould, rebel commissioner of exchange,
has declared, without consulting with' the
authorities of the United States, that all
rebel prisoners delivered at City Point up'
to the 20th of April were exchanged, it is
ordered that all federal prisoner of war and
all civillians on parole, prior to May 7. 186-1,
be declareaVexchanged. The order further
states that the rebels still remain indebted
to the Union Government thirty-three thou
sand five hundred and ninety-six prisoners,
for whom no equivalent has been received.

The Pennsylvania State Agency.
In accordance with the provisions of an
act of the Legislature approved May 4th,
1864, Gov. Curtin has just enlarged the
duties of the millitary agency at Washing
ton sd as to include the gratuitous collection
of back pay, bounties and pensions due to
Pennsylvania volunteers. The most fexcel
ent head of that agency, Frank x Jordan, of
Bedford county, has been commissioned as
colonel, and his assistant, Mr. Gilleland of
Centre county, as lieutenant colony!. Two
clerks are to be employed. This enlarge
ment of the duties of the agency should
have been authorized two years ago. Had
it been done, many a soldier's widow would
have been spared unnecessary anxiety and
not a little expense in procuring the back
pay and bounty due to her deceased hus
band. But it is never too late to commence
a good work, and we are glad, therefore, to
chronicle the above facts. We presume
that, hereafter, applications for pensions
and back pay and bounty.conung from Penn
sylvania soldiers or their heird, may be ad
dressed to Colonel Frank Jordan, Washing
ton ; although, of course, the usual method
of addressing such communications to the
Commissioner of Pensions or to the Second

A PE0CLAMATI03V
Whereas, circumstances render it not
improbable that this President of the Uni
ted States may, within -a short time, call on
Pennsylvania for Volunteer Militia for a
brief term of tervice :
And ichereas, The example of the brave
meu now in the held from Pennsylvania,
heretofore on every battle held distinguish
ed lor courage and emcitnoy, but who, in the
recent battles "in Virginia, have pained an
enviable distinction by their deeds of valor
and endurance, hhould .stimulate their broth
ers at home to increased effort to .sustain
their country's lidg, aad terminate the re
bellion :
Now, therefore, I, Andrew G." Curtin,
Governor of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, do make this my Proclamation,
earnestly requesting the people ol the Com
monwealth, willing to respond to tuch call
of" the President, to form military organiza
tions .without delay, that tfcev may not be
found unprepared to do so. And I do fur
ther request that commanding officers of all
military organizations, which may be lorm
ed in compliance with this Proclamation, do
forthwith report the condition of their re
spective commands, that prompt measures
may be taken for getting them into the ser
vice in case a requisition should bo made by
the General Government. Such Call, if
roadc. will be for a terra of hoi less than
one hundred day.. The troops will be
clothed,'armed, subsisted arid paid by the
United States, and mustered into the ser
vice thereof.
Given under my hand aiid the great seal
of the State at Hamburg, this eighteenth day
of May, one thousand eight hundred and
Mxty-four, and of the Commonwealth the
eighty-eighth. By the Governor.

U. S. 1040 BONDS.
These Bona are issued under the act of Con
gress of March Sth, IS64, which provides that till
bonds issued nnder this act shall be exempt from
taxation -by or ncder any State or municipal au
thority. Subscription to these bonds are receiv
ed in United States note or notes of National
Banks. They are to be redeemed in coix, at the
pleasure of the Government, at any period not
less than ten nor more than forty years from their-
date, and until their redemption five prn cest.
will B paid is cox.v, on T-onds of not over one
hundred dollars annually and on all other Bonds
semi annually. The interest is payable on the
first days of March and September in each year.
Subscribers will receive either 'Registered or
Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered
Bonds are recorded oa the Looks of the U. S.
Treasurer, and can be transferred only ou (he
owuer's order. Coupon bunds are payable to
bearer, and are a ore convenieut for Commercial
uses.
Subsciibers to this loan will have the option of
having their Bonds draw interest from March 1st,
by paying the accrued interest in coin (or In U
nited States notes, or the notes of National Banks,
adding fifty per cent, for premium.) or receive
them drawing interest from the date of cuWrlp
tion aud deposit. As these Bonds ax9
Ezempt from Municipal or State Taxation,"
their value is increased from oae to three per
Ccut. per annum, according ta the rate of tx
levies in various parts of thj country.
At the present rate of premium on gold they pay
OVER EIGHT PER CEXT I5TTEEEST
in currency, and are of ejual ccnvmiiuci as a
permanent or temporary investment.
It is believed that no securities oflcr so great
inducement to lenders as the various descriptions
of U. S. Bunds. In all other forms of indebted
ness, the faith or ability of private parties or
stock companies or seperate communities only is
pledged for payment, while for the debts of the
United States the whole property of the country
is holden to secure the payment of both pricci.
pal and interest in coin.
Th cse bonds may be subscribed for in sums from
S-0 up to any inaghitu.de, on the same terms, and
are thus made equally available to the smallest
lender and the largest capitalist. They can be
converted into money at any moment, and the
holder will have the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state in this connection that
the total Funded Debt of the United Status on
. i ...
which interest is payable in gold, on the day
of Jiarcb, 1861, was $763,985,000. The interest on
this debt for the coming fiscal yaar will be S1&,-
937.120, while the customs revenue in it old for
the current fiscal year, ending June Suth, 1864,
has been so far at the rate of over 5lG0,00tl,0uC
per annum.
It will be seen ttiat even the present gold' rev
enues of the Government are largely in excess of
the wants of the Treasurer for the payment of
gold interest, while the recent increase ol the tar
iff will doubtless raise the annual receipts from'
customs on the same amount of importations, to
i $150,000 ;.6o0 per annum.
Instructions to the Natiuu&l Banks acting as
loan agents were not issued from the United
States Treasury until March 2H, but in the first
three weeks of April the subscriptions averaged
more than te.v millions a week.
Subscriptions will be received by the
i'ira National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.
Second National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.
Third National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa.
