The flag that was captured in the attack
on Tort I'isher, was taken from the ditch
(utsUc the fort, by a brave officer, and the
dL-pateh bearer was f-ho ' tone-ekhth of a
mile from the fort. Not one of our men
got inside, or into any of its defences. So
says one who pretends to know. '
The rebel guerrillas seem to be somewhat
troublesome along the I'otomac. On Wed

near Poolesville, but after get tin g about eight
miles from the river they were overhauled
ard eight of them captured.

The Governor recommends gradual emanci
pation, in his" message.
It is again rumored that the elder Blair
is about to go to Richmond ; but that the
Goverr ment has no knowledge as to the ob
ject of the visit that he goes entirely upon
his own responsibility.
The liichmond Whig proposes to declare
the ports of Northern States under rebel
blockade, and subject all English and French
bhips to capture. It thinks the Confederacy
will then be recognised.
. Late advices from Hilton Head state that
Gen. Sherman's army was resting and pre
paring for another great campaign. Kil pat
rick was actively watching Hardee's move
ments. A'eavalry force, from Gen. Sheridan's army
visited the neighborhood of Uppervillo and
Middlcburg, Ixst week, and destroyed and
carried away a large amount of rebel property.
It would appear that the de-stiructon of
the Gulf railroad by Sherman is a severe
blow, to Lee, as he received 1,5U0 head of
cattle per week, by that route.
. A rebel deserter states that there were but
500 men in Fort Fisher on the first day of
the attack, but they wore reinforced by C,
OOO on the next day.

THE GOYEEKOS'S MESSAGE.
We this week "publish the annual message
of Governor Curtix to the Pennsylvania
Legislature, which a5sembled at Harrisburg
on Tuesday, January 3d. The message pre
sents a very encouraging statement of pub
lic affairs, both State and National. The
perusal of this document will impress the
reader with profound feelings of gratitude
to Almighty God for the aid which this
State has been enabled to grant towards
crushing the wicked and causeless rebellion
which was thrust upon the Nation nearly
four years .-ii:e. The trocps furnished by
Pennsylvania to the United States Govern
ment, since the beginning of the war, num
ber 336,-14-1, bcsides5,000 militia for State
defence in 1n"2. Of the former number
91,704 were raised daring the year li4.
This does not include the many tfiou.-anls
who have left the State and enlisted in
neighboring States, and who have been
credited to the State in which they volun
teered. These facts indicate that ths spirit
ot the people of Pennsylvania is such as to
leave no room for the enemies of the United
States, whether domestic or foreign, to hope
fbr any comfort from the oil Keystone.
Nor has the gallantly of our soldiers in the
tield been unnoticed, for no great battle has
be-on fought, and no brilliant victory achiev
ed, in which oar soldiers have not taken an
active and fconoralb part. The Governor
recommends an appropriation for pensions
to the volunteer m'Jiiia men, or their fam
ilies, who were killed or injured in the State
service in IS 02 and ISO 3. -
Attention is si-so called to the fact that
our State agencies at Washington and in
the Southwc-.-t have at their command a sys
tem of machinery by which every soldier
can communicate with his family and con
tribute of his earnings to its support. And
further: these agents attend to the collection
of the claims of Pennsylvania soldiers from
the Government, free of charge, so that
families and friends, or the soldiors them
selves need not hazard their interests in the
hands of private agcnN, sud thus subject
themselves to exorbitant fees for collecting
their claims. All should remember these
facts.
Our school system is represented as in a
flourishing condition throughout the State,
notwithstanding the continued distracted con
dition of the country. The number of schol
ars has been largely increased during the
past year. To increase the eiHcieiiey of
teachers, and their number, the Governor
recommends that provisions be made for
superanualed or disabled teachers.
The finances are in good condition. The
whole receipts into the Treasury during the
year was ?G,80,G44 72 ; the disbursements,
$4,933,441 00; leaving a balance in the
Treasury of $1,912,203 03. The whole in
debtedness on the 1st of December 1SG3 was
$39,490,590 78 ; deduct $ 1 10,992 84 redeem
ed certificates, leaves public debt on Dec. 1,
1SG4, $39,379,003 94. Deduct from this
sum $10,300,000 00 of bonds of the Penn
sylvania and Philadelphia and Erie Rail
roads, in the Sinking Fund, and the actual
debt of the State is $29,079,013,9 1. This
exibit of our nuances should be a subject of
congratulation to the citizens of the State,
as it shows a decrease in our indebtedness,
and revives the hope that the time is not far
in the future when the whole debt will be
liquidated.
The message contains many other subjects
of interest, but our limited space-will not
allow us even to allude to them briefly. We
hope our readers will give it a careful peru
sal, as it is throughout a business-like docu
mentconcise, plain and pointed, and cal
culated to awaken a deeper interest, on the
part of those who read it, in the welfare of
the State and the Nation.
-
A Protectorate Contemplated.
The loading rebel papers foreshadow the
possibility that the rebel States, rather than
yield to the po.ver of the Union,
will offer
themselves as quasi colonies to Franci or
England. Thai event should no:, if the
European Powers are just, result in their
recognition of the dissoludon of the Union,
for it would be a confession that the insur
gents were unable to take the Southern
States from the Republic, and therefore,
foreign inteiference could not have the least
possible justification. Hitherto interven
tion has been demanded by the South, con
templated, it may be, by Europe, on the
ground that the States in rebellion maintain
a successful war. That ground fails beneath
the foot of a demoralized army an 1 a totter
ing conspiracy. France and England would
not dare to violate international law, or the
common justice of the world, by assuming a
protectorate of the States which would thus
acknowledg that they had no power of them
selves to withdraw from the Union. "Who
would be free, themselves must strike the
blow." If the suggestions of the Richmond
papers are to be adopted as the policy of
the Richmond Government, the demonstra
tion of the failure of the rebellion ought to
be the destruction of the danger of Europe
an interference.
Porter's Fleet.
Fortress Monroe, Jan. 2. The steam
er Amanda Winants arrived here to-day
from Beaufort, S. C. The vessels compris
ing the naval fleet, under Rear Admiral
Porter, were all safdy anc hored in that har

off Wilmington, N. C, and sustained very
trifling damage during the bombardment of

National Debts cf Earopeaa Ifations.
It is an old saying that "misery loves
company," and if the adage be an offspring
of truth, as no one doubts it, we will find
some consideration, while we are pondering
over the condition of our Government finan
ces and the enormity of our liabilities in
the fact that the national debts of the prin
cipal nations of Europe have also largely
inerease-d within the last two years. Not
withstanding the strenuous efforts which
England has made to roduce her indebted
ness, it app-a" that her debt is now nearly
as large as it was fifty years ago, when she
was jnst emerging from hr protracted war
with France, and is one hundred and twelve
millions of dollars greater than it was in
1S53, as may be seen by the following table,
showing hor aggregate liabilities at various
periods :
Year. Debt.
1815 $ 1,300, 000,000
1828 4.000,000,(ioO

England has struggled hard for half a cen
tury to reduce her public dolt with what
success may be seen by tho above figures
and at the end of eaoh year she has barely
been enabled, as Mr. Gladstone remarked,
to make loth ends meet.
And how has it been with France? In
1 851 the French G o eniDicnt owed $ .'02. 000,
OOo, or ie-vs than half the present debt of
the United States. In 1S55 f he had increas
ed to $1 ,210,500.000 : in' 101 to $1,700,
O00: OU0 ; and now hor national dc bt amounts
to $ 1,900. 000. Oo'J, which, with floating bills
to the extent of $10.iy.X00, makes the
aggregate liabilities of the empire at the pres
ent time foot up $2 J C,. 000,000. It ap
pears by these figures that t lie debt of
France has-increased more rapidly within
the last ten years than that of any other na
tion in Europe.
The Italian States have also teen expend
ing money without stint, they having in
creased their liabilities in throe years from
153,000,000 to $xi0,O,X),(hj0, or to nearly
half the present debt of the United States,
without a tenth part of the resources where
with to meet it. And the same in a greater
or less ratio, may be said of Russia, Prussia,
Denmark, and many other countries; so
that we find at the present time the depts
cf the different nations of Europe reach the
aggregate of $12,50o,0o0.t'o , which is r
bout the liabilities of the United States
multiplied by six.
Will the Southern People Submit ? -Jejtkksox
Davis, the so-called Presi
dent of a Southern Confederacy, is charged
by a paper printed in the rebel' capitol, with
being the author of the schema for a French
Protectorate. The doludedand nearly ruin
ed South has made many sacrifices to gratify
the mad ambition of Davis and a few other
reckless leaders, many of whom, including
the brilliant and unprincipled YanCt, have
gone to their last account. Thousands of
young men have been offered up. Hun
dreds of tanners have been given up to ruin.
Towns and cities have been surrendered.
Isolation from all the luxuries and most of
the comfjrts of liil; has beeu submitted to.
A rigorous blockcade h is boon patiently en
dured, and above all, the terrible stigma of
treason has been worn in the hope that suc
cess might obliterate its stain.
But we cannot readily believe that any
large portion of the American people will
sink to the inexpressible humiliation of a
state of ai-sscliige to a people icliosc ten Itin
gwigo. thry cannot spot!;. Criminal and fa
tally foolish, as the Southern masses have
shown themselves, they cannot have so
lost ail Saxon spirit a3 to wear French col
lars of servitude,and eat bread at the bidding
of some French Vinceroy. We believe that
Davis' miserable proposition will meet- no
countenance in tho South, and that it will
lose him the respwet which has already been
sostroiigly shaken by continued military dis
asters. The TitEAsrnY. The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Trihaite makes
some important statements about the oper
ations, of the Treasury, which, if confirmed,
will allay some disquiet which has been felt
in the last few days:
'"I will say that on this day (Friday),
the circulation of legal-tenders is not one
dollar over the annum which was published
to the country last August. That it has not
been increased one dollar. That there is no
biii in preparation in the Ways and Moans
Commit tee for the Issue of more currency
in any form whatever. That the subject of
incroa.-'uig the currency has not been mention
ed by Mr. Fes.-endon to any member of ei
ther branch of Congress, or by .any Con
gressman to Fesscn len. That ho lias not
suggested even to any humrn being any fi
nancial purpose conn!cted with legal-tender
beyond what is con lined in his published
report. That he expects the subscriptions
to the seven-thirties will enable him to meet
the current demands upon tho Trea-ury ; all
requisitions except a part payment of the
army up to December 1st having been pro
vided for.
Sixoclak. Discovkry. Capt. Shaw, of
the transport United States, from Baltimore
to New York, reports that on the 31st ult,
when off the Delaware light-ship, he saw
two sunken vessels. Observing something
at the maintopmast of one of them, he bore
down to her, and discovered it to be a man,
dead and lashed to the topmast. On his
person were found a gold watch, a pocket
leiok containing a silver dollar, a three-dollar
banknote and some copper coin, and also the
vessel's papers, showing hor to be the schoo
ner Water Witch, Capt. Thomas G. Hull,
from Providence, with a cargo of iron bars,
oats and hay, bound to Baltimore. The
body was brought to-this port, and is suppos
ed to be that of the captain of the schooner.
.-"Who Sacked Atlanta.
As the rebel press ha been very diligent
in trying to make capital out of reports of
barbarity practiced by Sherman's troops at
Atlanta, the following from the Augusta
lWtt-tiiiui"iist may answer. as a refutation
of all charges made against us, and determine
icho it was that plundered Atlanta: Previ
ous to- leaving this city the Yankees sent out
written invitations to the people living in
the counties surrounding it to com in and
got ashes at cheap rates and in any quanti
ty. Tho people, however, did not accept
the invitation at that time, lint .won ofi:r
the XauJicts fart the country people flocked
by scores from all parti of the country, ?ome
coming over one hundred mile?. Every !c
enpuva of vehicle, drawn by .mules, horses,
stallions, jacks, jennies, oxen, bullocks, ic,
could be seen" upon the streets. The scene
beggarsdtcriptiou. Iron, salt, bacon, flour,
sugar, coffee,. hides &nd everything el.se left
by the yankees were unceremoniously depos
ited in wagons and carts and carried off.
But our country cousins did not stop at
that They entered the dwelling houe- of
those absent and gutted them of all th ir
furniture. One lady who left her house for
a lew hours to attend to pressing business
was asfom'shed to find on her return, ail of
her - furniture and wearing tpparei-gone.
Fully one hundred and fifty pianos were car
ried off by the hoosic-rs, many of whom were
unused to nny "concord of sweet sound- '
save tha' produrx-d by a jewnharp or fiddle.
One of them, an illiterate backwoodsman,
who resided in a humble hut, ten by twelve,
was seen carrying a rwflmiieont piano in a
small cart drawn by a two year old bullock.
A venerable dame w is observed trying to
haul into her cart a fino piano by means of a
rope attaidud t the leg:. When akcd
what she was doing, she replied that she
had, found a '"mighty nice table in thar, and
was trying to get it iii her heart." 0;;e- man
;t!one carried oft over $50,oo0 v.ith oi dry
hides. . Steps have been taken to secure all
the articles carried off, as well as the offen
ders. Already much property has been re
covered. A Singular History.
In the year 1S.30 tho city of Buffalo, New
York eontaine-Tamoiig its popu'ation a ciii
zen of in Ijfatigab'e industry and untiring
enterprise. W hole blocks of capacious
warehouses were erected by him, new streets
wore laid off, graded, paved tmd lighted upon
his recomt liei idation and with his assistance,
ai.d no public undertaking was considered
sure of success without the sanction and aid of
this public-hpirited citizen. The crash of
18.17 came, and it caused him to totter. To
sustain his creelit for a few das, iu an evil
hour he committed a deed which consigned
him to the S laic.-. oiLon. Pardoned out, and
no ineradicable stigma save that inseparable
from misfortune attaching to his name, he
came to New York city andstarted the hotel
business at the corner of Broadway and
Cortland streets. Failing in this, he wont to
"Long Island's sea girt shore" and took the
Bath House, a small summer establishment.
Soon disgusted with his ill luck there, he
left this region of civilization altogether, and
sought the solitudes of Western Virginia as
a place of quiet and rest for the remainder
of his days. He settled in what has proved
to be the heart of the West Virginia oil
region, and now this unfortunate yet lucky,
this untiring and irrepressible man, con
cludes his strange history by leaving to his
licirs a fortune valued at three million of
dollars. He lore the well-known name of

says the campaign in Tennuessoe has ended.
After the battle at Nashville -both armies
floundered -in the mud ten days. ; Hood's
remnant of infantry crawledf(T at night,

He kept his men well togefher, and with

Kidgway, Elk co , I'a . January 9 !sr,5. j
In accordance with Circular No. 102 of A. A.
Pro. Mar. iens Office. Western Division of Pcnna.
the Commissioners and Surgeon of the Hoard of
Enrollment of the D'th Distiict of l'enna. will
hold a session at the Court IJou?-e in the llorotib
of ClearSt-ld.for the purpose ol c-rrocting the Ku
rollmcnt Lists of Clearfield Co , on January the
2oth, 27th. and 2-th
Citizens throubout the County are earnestly
called upon to aid the officers in tho dis.-h ir-o of
their duties, by giving nil information bearing
upon this important subject.
It must be distinctly uulerstooJ by the people
that their only Furety of a f.iir proportion of the
burdens of the draft lies in the proper oorrection
of the lists
Every name improperly left upon the lists,
swells disproportionately the quota. It is the du
ty therefore of each good citizen to bring bub.ro
tno 15oard every man. who, by reason of overuse,
peruia Rent ph isical i'is:i bility . or two years ser
vice, shall bo entitled to have his name stricken
from the li.-ts; and also to furnish to tbc Hoard
satisfactory evidenco in cases of death, removal,
&e. As, also, the grei.'er number of competenl
men on these lists, the less likelihood there is of
any particular one of them being drawn from the
wheel. Each citizen owes it to himself to see
that the name of every man in his Township who
is properly li.tlde to draft, shall be on the lists
I would respectfully recommend to the different
sub districts the propriety of appointing Coniwit
"tees to examine into all the c;i?es rej'iirin atten
tion, and bring the parties concerned, or the evi
dence f.f their death or removal, before the Hoard.
An opportunity is now offered to ail sub districts
of correcting completely their Enrollment Lists.
It uiuct be done, and should be distinctly under
stood that should another draft be subsequently
ordered, no notice whatever will be taken of com
plaints of Committees that their enrollment l.i.-ts
are erroneous; nor will any suspension of drift,
or alteration in the quota be grantcdjon that plea.
