Special Election, August 2, 1864. IN FAVOE OF SOLDIEES VOTING. The National Finances. Secretary Fessenden has returned toWash ington from New York without money, or the promise of money, from the associated banks. His negotiations with them fell through, whatever the ostensible reasons, because of their absolute inability to furn ish the fifty millions required, there being but fifteen millions in gree'neacks in the city, the balance having been sent west to pur chase produce. The banks being unable to lend money, offered to lend their credit, but the Secretary considered that he had no power to negotiate such & loan, and felt un willing, even if he had the power, to exer cise it. He was urged from some quarters to take measures to make the money mar ket easier, but replied that, on the "contrary, he should exert himself to make it tighter, go as to reduce the price of gold and the ne cessaries of life, and those articles which the Government must purchase for the ar my. He will have recourse to a popular loan, probably at six per cent., preferring to t?ell long bonds at, or even below par, to a further inflation of the currency. The ad tisement for this loan may be expected to appear before many days. Meantime, thanks in a great measvre to the new tax law, the Treasury finds itself fully able to supply its present needs. Fifteen millions of dollars were disbursed on the lath, and we are as sured that the next weekly statement of the public debt will show a reduction instead of increase of amount of unpaid requisition, and decrease also of the amount of notes in circulation, more 5 per cent, coupon paper having been withdrawn than eompound in terest paper issued. More of the Same Sort. Two weeks since we published accounts of a number of papers, which heretofore had been opposed to President Lincoln, coming out in favor of the Union nominees. Here are a few more of the same sort : "The Belleville Demokrat, one of the strongest among the German journals in Illinois to advocate Fremont before hia nom ination, has backed square out and hoisted the names of Lincoln and Johnson. The Buffalo Journal, the new German dailv recently started in that city, under the editorship of Dr. T)e Hass, as the organ of the Uenuan .Radicals, which was expec ted to support the nomination or rremont, and which, since the Cleveland Convention, has maintained an attitude of political un certainty, came out recently squarefooted and decided lor Lincoln and Johnson. The Waechter am Erie, an influential German paper published in Northern Ohio, and which was favorable to the Cleveland Convention, sneaks as follows: '"The Fre mont who wrote that letter (accepting the Cleveland nomination,! over which the cop perhead press is rejoicing, does not appear to us like the rremont ot loao. . . now can we recognize the document as coming from one who has alwavs Deen a leauer oi the radical ? Is it not a bid for the Chica go noiniuatiou, or has the man become an other t - - New Call for Tjtoors. 500,000 More Mkx.- The President as issued a call for 500,000 additional men. If these troops are not put into the field, by volunteering, on or before the 5th day of September, 1864, a draft will be immediately made thereafter for one year from that date. -Volunteers will be accepted for one, two or three years. A credit for any excess of men furnished on former quotas, by sub-districts, will be al lowed on the present call. The hour of danger is the test of fidelity. He who is ready to bow under the shadow ot adversity, because the hosts of crime eon front bgtb Grant and Washington, prefers . anarchy to order, and starless despotism to Constitutional freedom. He would cloud the graves oi our martyred dead with dis honor, and doom the living to humiliation and lawlessness. Steady, faithful men steady! An imperiled nationality is to be rescued the hope of the living and the fani". il the dead demand it ! TEE REBEL SAID. Last week we gave an account of the in vasion of Maryland by the Rebels the cut ting of the Northern Central and of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroads the capture of Geneial Frank lin, who afterwards made his escape and the concentration of the whole rebel force in the vicinity of Washington. On the 12th the rebels appeared before Fort Stevens, on the Seventh Street road, about 6 miles from Washington, and attacted the fort with some vigor, but were repulsed with a heavy loss. Annapolis was also threatened, but no attack made on it. The Rebels finding that Washington was better protected than perhaps they anticipated thought it prudent to make no further dem onstrations upon the city, and accordingly they withdrew; and on the 13th recrossed the Potomac at Edward's Ferry, and oppo site Poolsville. . In fact their attack upon Fort Stevens seems to have been but a ruse, to enable them to make good their retreat, and to get safely away their plunder. A portion of the 6th corps is said to be in pursuit of the retreating raiders who are moving off at a rapid rate, down the valley towards Gordonsville. Our forces in pur suit had succeeded in capturing Gen. Brad- ly Johnson near Edward's Ferry, but he was afterwards rescued by a bold dash of his owncavahy. A portion of Mosby's com mand, about 2K), passed near Leesburg on Tuesday night each rider leading a horse, while they were driving before them nearly 10,000 head of cattle. When last heard from they were making towards Ashby's Gap. Another portion of the rebel cavalry made towards Chester Gap and Snickerville, while the main body moved directly for Ashby's Gap. The statements that the rebel force in the invasion numbered 50,000, and the un-der-estimate of from 8,000 to 10,000, wc be lieve both to be incorrect. Gen. Grant has not varied from his original estimate that it was from 20,(X to 30.0M strong, and the War Department puts it but a little higher. These figures are not very materially higher than our published estimate of last week. Some knowing secessionists in Baltimore assert that this raid of the rebels was inere- a reconnoissance to ascertain Grant's po sition and strength at Washington and in Maryland. Discovering this they have re turned to the other side of the Potomac to await reinforcements, with which, when ob tained, they will advance again with Lee in command. We anticipate that this story was only intended to deter our forces from making a vigorous pursuit, and to enable the rebels to make good their retreat with the large amount of plunder and cattle which they had stolen in Maryland which, it is believed, together with the destruction of property on their rout, will amount to a bout four millions of dollars. Representative Ashley, who has been to the front, and left headquarters on Wed nesday, reports a confident feeling prevail ing in Grants army, which was also shown by the General himself, that the Maryland invaders would be captured. No informa tion of a capture of more than 300 or 400 has, however, reached Washington, up to this time. This rebel invasion seems to have been only a raid on a large scale for the purpose of plunder, and with the hope of withdraw ing Gen. Grant's grasp upon the rebel cap ital. If such was Lee's object, he has cer tainly failed in his calculations. Gen. Grant has continued his attack upon Petersburg as persistently as though no rebels were in the vicinity of Washington. On the other hand the 19th army corps, from New Or leans, which had been brought to Washing ton, will now be in H)sition to either rein force Gen. Grantor to co-operate with him from this side. I lenee, this raid, has been the means of strengthening rather than weakening our cause, whilst the only advan tage the rebels have gained consists in the amount of plunder they have been enabled to carry off. Gen. Sherman is making good progress. At last accounts he had driven the rebels over the river, and he was before Atlanta. We soon expected to hear of Sherman's taking Atlanta. By Tuesday Evening's Mail. An official report to the Post Office de partment shows that the mails for twenty eight different cities were burned by the rebels at G unpowder. On the 15th a collision took place on the New York and Erie railroad, by which Sixty-four Union and Rebels soldiers we.re killed. The probability is that the rebel raiders will make good their retreat with most of their booty gathered in Maryland. Mark well the malignant, treacherous copperhead in this crisis in our country's cause. The shadow of adversitj' quickens his whole perfidious powers into life, and he scatters unmanly treason on every side along his flsithway. He would yield to treason because he loves it because he hates the free institutions so sacred to every patriot, and lie serves the purpose of Jeff. Davis with more effect than hi? murderous soldiers if he can make loyal hearts despair. Let faith ful men rise in their majesty and declare with one voice that the Union shall be PBESRVED, and THAT TREASON WILL DIE: Jicpositorjt. - Speaker Colfax is renominated from the 9th Congressional District of Indiana. He has been nominated seven times and elected five ; a repre-ntative for ten out of four leen year. A New Name. There is something new under the politi cal sun. l ne managers are about to coin new name for the Democratic party. In his card announcing the postponementof.'theChi cago convention, the Chairman of the Dem ocratic iN ational Committee uses the name Conservative Union Democratic party." Astonishing ! We never heard of such a farty before. We have heard of Democrats, 'eace Democrats, War Democrats, Jeffer sonian Democrats, J acksonian Democrats, aye, and Confederate Democrats, but we never heard of such an hermaphrodite ar rangement as a 'Conservative Uniou Dem ocratic party.' But why not have such a party ? Democrats have always contended that there are no two things so unequal as white men and negroes, and yet the statis tics of the strongest Democratic localities, which have generally been south of Mason and Dixon's line, have shown conclusively they well understand how to mix the two ! Then why not form a "Miseegen" party af ter such a manner ? The elements exist. and why not use them ? The three adjec tives used, "Conservatives." "Union," and Democrats, might well be regarded as representing the three principal classes of men with which their voting class is divided the office-hunters, the war-patriots, and the peace-traitors. The idea of this grand new party, uniting war and peace, loyalty and disloyalty into one harmonious whole, to be run by the old chiefs of the played out Democracy is certainly brilliant lilooms burg Republican. Confession of a Copperhead. Hon. James Brooks, editor of the New York Express, is one of the most ultra op onents of the Administration, and a Cop perhead of the first water. In a recent let ter from Washington to his paper, he says : Slavery carries with it its own punish ment. It is a dead drag to the body politic. It is impossible for any community to pros per with it on its bosom. The affliction bears as heavily on the master as upon the slaves. It endangers the peace and happi ness of the master, and robs the slave of his freedom and his birth-right As to prosierity and accumulation of property, it keeps the master in the rear of others in a like situation exempt from this evil, and thus deprives him when it depresses his ser vant. It is demonstrable, in my opin ion, that that community of whites, taken as a whole, must be happier, more prosper ous and richerj where slavery is prohibited, than where it is allowed. And yet, in the face of this confession, the Copperhead leaders refuse to fight for the Union, unless the preservation and perpetuity of slavery be guaranteed by the Government. Gold is Falling ! Provisions are fall ing ! The speculators are in misery. They have ruled the country long enough, and their time has come. Many a scamp who has been making money out of the necessi ties of the Governmeut pork-gamblers, gold-gamblers, whisky-gamblers, gamblers in copper and oil will see in this crash a just and terrible retribution. This is what the A. J . tribune says, and we endorse it : "Rejoice with us, fellow-citizens, that the bloated, hollow fabric of speculation and exorbitant prices, conjured up by the joint efforts of avarice and treason, plainly totters to its fall ! The premium on gold took a heavy lee lurch yesterday, and the prices of fork, flour, and most others necessaries of ife, tumbled with it. There never was a tolerable reason, a plausible excuse for car rying gold above $1.50, or pork above $25, or flour at wholesale above 8 per barrel, and other staples in proportion. All beyond these rates was a gigantic bubble, blown by treason and rapacity, favored by cowardice. 1 lad our great banks and leading bankers chosen to feed the market with gold, even at the rate of one million per week, for the last ten or twelve weeks, the above prices need not have been exceeded. With ten millions deducted from their gold and twen ty millions added hereby to their green backs, the banks would have stood stronger than they do to-day, and been better able to resume specie payments whenever the waste of the war shall be arrested. ' ' The Way to Get Recruits. A public spirited citizen, too old himself" to Ihj in the draft, advertises in Thursday's Philadelphia Ledger for three men for the army, whom he will pay to go in his stead. If every man of means, who fylt that the rebellion must be put down, aud who is unable to render service in doing so, except 13' proxy, were to try this experiment, wc think the army will not lack soldiers,and the war would soon be brought to a close. The property posses sions of a man a're not very secure unless he has a government and law at his back to protect him. Those who have the means may easily, then, spare enough to provide a soldier for the war, so that his Govern ment can be preserved in its integrity and power. President Lincoln has issued a Proclama tion apiointing the 1st Thursday in August as a day of humiliation and prayer by the people of the United States. The appoint ment is in obedience to a resolution of Con gress passed before the adjournment of that body, recommending the people "to confess and repent of their manifold sins, and im plore the compassion and foregiveness of the Almighty." It is at all times proper that we should give thanks to God for his mer cies, and at the same time as a Christian people wc should not forget the duty of con fessing our sins and humiliating ourselves before Him. Thus alone can we hope for a continuance of His mercy and loving kind ness. Dr. J. P. Wilson, Surgeon of the 184th Pa. Volunteers, and a brother-in-law of Gov. Curtiu, contracted fever in the field, and was brought to Harrisburg, on Satur day July 2d, in a very exhausted condition, and was taken to the Brady House. On Tuesday morning while his wile was at breakfast, in a fit of temporaryderangement, doubtless induced by his disease, he cut his throat with a razor, and was found dead in his bed. While in the field he had devoted his whole time to the relief of our wounded, and constant labor and exposure brought him to his sad and untimely end, He was a most worthy and accomplished gentlemen. A Rebel writer speaks of Vallandigham's reception in Ohio as favorable to the " Con federate cause. " This is what was intended. i ANAECHY TO BE INAUGURATED. A Bold Scheme to Deluge the Free States in JJlood .Kebels in Council at Niagara Falls The Chicago Convention. The following article from the New York Herald should be read by every patriotic man in the land, as it truly indicates the intention and objects of the cop perhead faction in the coming political contest The Herald perhaps, more than any other journal in the country, is familiar with the workings of the copperhead organ ization, and may fairly be regarded as its central organ. There is no doubt that the magnitude of the schemes being concocted by the copperheads to organize rebellion in the free States, begin to appal even the jes- uitical controllers of the Herald. Hence the pulication of the following article : George N. Sanders, with some twenty or thirty rebel politicians and officers, is now at Niagara Falls, plotting and scheming in behalf of Jeff Davis and his villainous cause. llemaiuing, as they do, on the Canada side. they are in a favorable position to operate upon the politicians whb visit that locality during the hot season. From all accounts they are making the most of this advantage. They have concocted a grand scheme for the control of the Chicago Convention. Their project contemplates forcing a rupture and division of the convention, after the manner of the sfilit at Charleston in I860. This is to be brought about in a way that will embit ter the copperhead and peace factions, and, with them thus maddened, inaugurate a sys teni of riot and insurrection, not only in the West but also in this and other Eastern cit ies. The split in Charleston in 1860 was accomplished by the scheming of Yancey, Slidell, Davis and other leaders in the Southern States, for the very purpose of bringing about a state of affairs that would give them a plea to inaugurate a rebellion. A break up in that convention was neces sary, or rather a preliminary step in prepar ing the public mind of the South for the revolution which was already planned by the leaders. In accomulishimr this result thev were assisted bv the Albany Resrencv and other unscrupulous politicians of the North. The events of four years have since rolled around ; the rebellion, with all its evils and suffering in the South, has been inaugura ted and kept up; but they are at length driven to desperation, and are in straitened circumstances. They are compelled to re sort to the same scheme to secure a diver sion in the North or go under. A plot for a split and break up at Chicago is resolved upon, to be followed by revolution in the North, as the last hope, fur. their sinking cause. To accomplish this the rebel agents, reb el blowers and rebel plotters have been rush ing back from Europe, and have made Can ada their base of operations. The country from Montreal to Niagara Falls and Wind sor, opposite Detroit, id filled with them, all directing their efforts upon the Chicago Convention. Vallandigham was sent back to Ohio to play his part of the game there. But in order to accomplish their end, time was needed. Accordingly the postpone ment of the Chicago Convention was essen tial. The peace faction and their organs boldly came out for an adjournment. Dean Richmond and the Regency became willing agents in their hands, and the time asked for by the rebel conspirators in Canada was obtained. Thus the first step towards bring ing about a Northern revolution has been accomplished by the aid of the Regency, and the same class of Northern politicians who played into the hands of the Southern conspirators at Charleston. What now do we see ? Sanders and his ret el plotters a: e actively at work perfecting their scheme. Already the Democratic Convention of Kentucky has adopted peace resolutions, and done all it could to assist Sanders in laying his wires for the Chicago Convention. Fernando Wood's seedy peace committee assembled in this city to add its voice and support to the plot of the rebels. The Chicago Times, Cincinnati Inquirer and other peace papers of the West have enlisted in Sanders cause as far as they dare. Such twaddling journals as the News, and World, of this city, and Atlas and Arrns, at Albany, have been gradually working themselves into the same scheme, and under the influence of the conspirators. Some forty or fifty rebel politicians, with Sanders at their head, and a few Copper heads of the North, met at Windsor, about the 5th of this month, and perfected their arrangements for operations at Chicago. A split in the convention is the first move; then insurrection, riot and rebellion thus using the same means that were resorted to in 1)SG0 to force the South to commence the I rebellion to inaugurate a revolution at the North, in the hope of by that means divert ing attention and bringing about a division that will enable them to delay their final overthrow and open a road for the success of the confederacy. That Jeff. Davis and the rebel chiefs have been driven to this last j resort is now apparent It is their last hope for the success of the bogus Southern con federacy. It is revolution at the North or death to their cause. Hence their deter mination and the desperate chances that they are taking. But they entirely mistake the Northei n clement The peace politicians are equally blind to the real results of this course. A copperhead division at Chicago, or attempt at insurrection and revolution at the North, instead of helping the cause of the rebels, will strengthen and intensify the Union feel ing here, and make President Lincoln's re election as certain as the sun rises and sets on election day. It is true that, through the Regency and other unscrupulous jwliticians of the North, the rebels were enabled to bring about a division at Charleston which led to a rebellion in the South. But the stirring events of this war have so educated the peeple at the North that, with all the assistance of the Regency, the peace faction, the News and other organs can give, they cannot repeat the result. The only effect of these schemes, if they continue, is to bring about the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. This is the natural result and logical conclu sion of their course. The citizens of Swampscot, Mass., have voted to assess every man liable to the draft $30, for the purpose of providing substitutes to fill the next quota. A drafted Pittsburger furnished a substi tute last Saturday a week for whom he paid $1,000, notwithstanding he was disqualified for service. COUNTY SUPEEINTENDENT'S Eeport of the Condition of the Common Schools of Clearfield County, for the Year emuug j une otn, lore. , C t r - school houses. V hole number o School houses in the county, 13-: number still unfit for use. 24 ; number built during tne year, viz : Aieccana, 1 ; Chest, 1 ; lira dy, l ; ierguson, 1 : .Lawrence, 1 ; Jordan 1 ; Pike, 1 ; Graham, 1. These are all neat and substantial frame buildings, erect ed en improved plans, are suitably located, wea ventilated and in every respect an im provement on the old houses which they have superseded. There are no suitable play grounds, or proper out-buildings attached to any ot them. Ut the houses unht for use, Bell has 1 : Bradford, 3 ; Chest, 1 : Cov ington, 2; Decatur, 2; Ferguson, 2: Gra ham, 1 : Guelich, 2 ; Jordan, 1 ; Lawrence, 4 : Penn, 2 ; Pike, 1 : Woodward, 2. The prevailing defects in the above houses are, that they are too small, too low in the ceil ing, uncomfortably furnished, and without means for sufficient ventilation. I take pleasure in being able to report, that at least five of these will be replaced bv new and more convenient builduitrs d urine the ensuing school year. Furniture. Whole number of houses properly furnished, 40 : number of houses with unsuitable furniture. 57. Excent the new houses, none have been supplied with i urniture during t he year. 1 hey have been furnished with comfortable and convenient seats and desks, graded, large enough to seat two, and so arranged that one pupil in leav ing his seat is not obliged to disturb the oth er. Most of those iriven as unsuitable, have the long steep desks, and hich seats, gener ally without backs. Additional blackboard surface is very much needed in many of the old houses. Apparatus. Whole number of schools partially supplied, 118; number wholly without, 23. In this respect nearly all our schools are deficient. None fully supplied witmn tne jjear. All the new houses are provided with ample blackboard surface. Many of the schools have a large reference map, a few have outline maps,- and primary charts ; but beyond these we have no appa ratus worth mentioning. Schools, Whole number of Schools in the county, 143 : traded. 2: classified. 102: unclassified, 41. No schools graded during the year, nor any in the county in which the system is fully carried out The schools in the boroughs of Clearfield and Curwensville. have been graded for many years, but the gradation is imperfect Pupilj pass from one department to another, without exam ination, and without the requisite qualifica tions to entitle them to promotion. The lormer had during tho winter session, 182 pupils in three rooms, under four teachers, the latter had 166 pupils in three rooms, with as many teachers, total 34S pupils with seven teachers, or an average of 50 to each teacher. All the branches, required by law, with algebra aud philosophy were taught in both schools. In the rural districts, where the population is sparse, grading is imprac ticable, but wherever a uniformity of text books has been adopted and introduced, the schools are, as a general thing, well classi fied. Commendable improvement, in this respect, has been made during the past year. Teachers. Whole number of teachers employed during the year, 150 ; number of males, 4tf ; number of females, 102; num ber of applicants examined, 150; number of certificates issued, 1 30 ; number issued to males, 44 ; number issued to females, 86 ; number of applicants rejected, 20 ; lowest figure on the provisional certificates, 3. Owing to the war, which deprived us of the services of some of our best teachers, we were obliged in some instances to grant cer tificates to those whose qualifications were considerably below the standard. The num ber with provisional certificates who taught successfully was 90 : 58 gave reasonable sat isfaction, and 18 had evidently mistaken their calling. Three teachers were dismiss ed before the close of their school, for want of government. A larger number of young ladies was employed this year than in any former year, and, with a few exceptions, their success has been quite satisfactory. In literary qualifications, and ability to teach and govern, they are a.- a class, equal to males. No professional certificate has been granted during the year. Teachers is the Army. Whole num ber of teachers who have entered the army as volunteers since the commencement of the present war, 22 ; number drafted, none ; number killed in the service, 1 ; number who died of sickness in service, 2 ; number honorably discharged, 2 ; number now in the service, 18. Of this number two held the rank of second lieutenants, one of or derly sergeant, and two ot corporals. Visitations. Whole number of visits made, 150, number of schools visited once, 132; number visited twice, 17. All the schools in the county were visited once, ex cept nine. Five of these were not in ses sion when I was in the districts, and four were temporarily closed, on account of sick ness. The average duration of each visit was about two hours. During my visits, I have made it my practice to observe atten tively the teacher's method ot imparting in struction, with the degree of advancement, order, and classification of the schoolj and also to mark the defects, if any, and private ly suggest the proper modes of correction. At the request of the teacher, I sometimes took charge of the classes, and conducted the recitations, and before leaving made a short address suited to the wants and capac ities of the scholars, llegular monthly vis its by the directors, parents and citizens, have been more frequent during the last year than the preceeding year. The impor tance of these visits cannot for a moment be doubted. District Institutes. Whole number organized, 16; number visited, 4; Aggre gate attendance, 92. The Institutes in ma ny of the districts were thoroughly organi zed and well conducted, the teachers mani festing considerable interest in their success. Many of these meetings were regularly at tended by directors and citizens, who took part in the exercises. In a few instances they proved failures, owing principally to a want of interest amonc the teachers, and a due enforcement of the law on the part of the directors. The annual meeting oi the county Institute was held at Clearfield, and continued in session five days. Forty teach ers were in attendance, lhe exercises were verv interestinc and profitable. District Secretaries. Fenruson and Pike are the only districts in which the ee cretaries acted as district euperintendant Both officers visited their respective schools at least once a month and-the effect has bepn verv beneficial.
