THE STATE BOUNTY LAT7.
The Bounty law for Pennsylvania was par
sed by both houses, and approved of by
theGovernDr. It will be found to be of gen
eral interest :

ert J. Walker publishes a communica
tion in which he denies that his recent visit
to Canada had any thing to do with a pro
ject for annexing that province to the Uni
ted States, as recently charged in aMotreal
paper. He acknowledges that he is in fa
vor of such annexation, but never without
the full consent of Great Brittain, as well as
the people of Canada themselves So far
from his having been supplied with funds
to forward the scheme, and having con
ference on the subject with the Governor
General aud the Canadian Ministry, he
says that he is not even acquainted with
Ixird MonCK or any member of his Cabinet
He pronounces the whole story merely an
other effort of Canadian secessionists to
embroil this country with England.

PETEESBUEG AND EICHM0ND OUES
LEE RETREATING.
GRANT IN CLOSE PURSUIT.
12,000 Prisoners and 50 Cannons cap
tured.
Below we give the several despatches an
nouncing the opening of the spring cam
paign, and the defeat of Lee. On Wednes
day, March 29th, Gen. Grant put his whole
army in motion, and soon pressed the rebel
right back to the South Side Railroad, and
broke through Lee's lines at several import
ant points. On Thursday the fighting was
renewed, and was continued at intervals du
rinjr Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In all
the engagements the rebels were beaten, and
the result is the evacuation of Petersburg
and Richmond. Whither Lee will attempt
to flee, no one knows. That he will endeav
or to make a junction with Johnson, there
is little doubt ; yet it is likely he will be
foiled in his designs, as Grant is evidently
prepared to meet them at all points. Sher
man is at Goldsboro, Stoneman at Boone,
X. C, Thomas is said to be advancing from
the West, and Hancock from the North,
while. Grant is immediately on the heels
of Lee. Thus hemmed in, there is little
prospect of Lee's escape. Steadily, but
surely, the end draws nigh. Surrounded on
all sides by a determined foe, and harrassed
and hunted down by a veteran army, the
traitors must soon yield to the power of the
Government, and rebellion cease.
At 4 o'clock, A. M., on Wednesday
March 29th, the Fifth and Second Corps
were put iu march upon the rieht of the en
emy's line, the Fifth moving by the Quaker
road. On coming to a point called Jkunk s
Hollow, and mouuting the brow of the op
posite slope, a breastwork was found aban
doned by the enemy. Passing about three
quarters of a mile lieyond this, the head of
the column met the enemy's line of battle
with skiruii.-hers posted on the eage of a
thick pine wood belting a clearing. Here a
sudden and heavy fire was opened upon our
skirmish line, and it was driven back upon
the line formed of the First Brigade, .First
Division, which at first fell back, but on be
ing supported by the Second Brigade, rallied
and diove back the enemy with some loss in
prisoners. In the meantime, Gen. Warren
drew up the rest ot the Third Division of
the Fifth Corps in line in order to support
the attack. After an action of three-quarters
of an hour, the enemy retreated in haste,
leaving most of his dead and wounded on
the field. The Fifth Corps now lies on the
ground. The force of the enemy engaged,
was one division of the Forth Courps under
General Bushrod Johnston, its strength be
ing about six thousand. Our loss may
reach three hundred killed and wounded ;
that of the enemy appears to be about the
same, but .the numberof prisoners, some 150
to 2O0, renders their total loss greater thau
ours.
Thursday, March 30.
Notwithstanding a heavy rain storm which
set in last night and continued until late this
afternoon, the army has to-day advanced
two miles, and the Fifth Corps has reached
the Boydtown plank road, near its junction
with White Cak road. This is the place
where the 2d Corps had a severe engage
ment with the enemy lastautunin,in which it
suffered severely. The ground gained to
day cost us but few men, the rebels making
verry slight resistarce. At llatcber s run,
which isjonly. a short distance further on,
the enemy have strong earthworks, entirely
defended with heavy guns, and here they
will no doubt make a stand to oppose our
further advance. From this point the new
line extends east to the Armstrong mill
the Fifth corps holding the right of this po
sition. As our forces advanced the er.emy
fell back to their works on the line of the
Southside railroad, skirmishing as they re
treated. At the Boydtown plank road they
made some slight show of resistance, but
were soon compelled to continue their retro
gade movement, with a loss of about fifty
killed and. wounded.
Friday, March 31.
Gen. Grant telegraphed to President Lin
coln at City Point ; There has been much
hard fighting this morning. The enemy
drove our left from near jDabney House
back well toward the Boydtown plunk road.
We are uow about to take the offensive at
that i oint, and I hope will niorethan recov
er the lost ground. Later he telegraphed a
gain as follows: Our troops, after being
driven back to Boydtown plank road, rallied
and drove the enemy in turn, and took
White Oak Road, which we now have.
This gives us theground occupied by the en
emy this morning. I will send you the reb
el flae captured-by our troops in driving the
enemy back. There have been four flags
captured to-day.
Saturday's lighting.
The following dispatches were received by
Sec. Stanton, from President Lincoln, who
is at City Point, Va.:
April 1, 5:30 p. m. A Dispatch is jast
received showing that Sheridan, aided by
Warren, bad at 2 p.m. pushed the enemy
back so as to retake the five forks and bring
his headquarters up to Boissna. The five
forks was baracaded by the enemy, and was
carried by Divens division of cavalry. This
part of the enemy seem now to be trying to
work along the white oak road to join lhe
main force in front of Grant, while Sheridan
and Warren are pressing them as closely as
possible, A. Lincoln
April 2, 5:30 A. m. A dispatch from
General Grant states that Sheridan's caval
ry and infantry have carried all before them,
capturing a wagon train and several batte
riesjof artilery. The prisoners captured will
amount to several thousand. A. Lincoln.
April 2. 8:30 a. m. Last night Gen.
Grant telegraphed that General Sheridan
with his cavalry and Fifth Corps had cap
tured three brigades of Infantry, a train of
wagons, several Tbatteries, and several thou
sand prisoners this morning. General Grant
having ordered an attack along the whole
line, telegraphs as follows : Both Wright
and Parke got through the enemy's lines.
The battle now rages furiously. Sheri
dan with his cavalry Jnd Fifth corps
and Miles' Division of the Second, which
was sent to him since one o'clock this morn
ing, is now sweeping down from the west.
All now looks hierhly lavorable. Gen. Ord
is engaged, but 1 have not yet heard the re
sult in his point. A. Lincoln.
April 2, 1 1 a. m. Dispatches come Jin
frequently. All is going on finely. Parke,
Wnght and Ord, extending from the Ap
pomattox to Hatcher's run, have all broken
through the enemy's entrenched lines, tak
ing some forts, guns and prisoners. Sheri
dan with his cavalry, the Fifth corps and
part of the Second, is coming in from the
west, on the enemy's flank and Wright is al
ready tearing up the South Side railroad
the last line ot rebel communication ' over
which to obtain supplies. A. Lincoln.
Sunday, April 2.
The following despatches from President
Lincoln to Secretary Stanton, give the move
ments of Grant's army on Sunday :
April 2, 2 p. m. At 10:41 a. m. General
Grant telegraphs as follows : Everything has
been carried from the left of the ninth corps.
The sixth corps alone captured more than
fehree thousand prisoners. The second and
twenty-fourth corps both captured a fort,
guns and prisoners from the enemy, but I
cannot tell the numbers. We are now clos
iug around the works of the line immediate
ly enveloping Petersburg. All looks re
markably well. I have not yet heard from
Sheridan. His headquarters have been
moved up to Banks' house, near the Bovd-
town road, about three miles southwest of
Petersburg. A. Lincoln.
APRIL 2, 8:30 P. M. At 4:30 P. 51., to
day (jren. Grant telegraphs as follows: V
are now up and have a continuous line of
troops, and in a tew hours will be entrench
ed from the Appomatox below Petersburg
to the river abdVe. The whole captures
since the army started out will riot amount
to less than 12,000 men, and probably fifty
pieces of artillery. I do not know the num
ber of nien and guns accurately, however.
A portion of Foster's division of the twen
ty-fourth corps made a most gallant charge
this'afternoon, and captured a very import
ant iort Irom the enemy with its entire gar
rison. All seems well with us and every
thing quiet just now. A.Lincoln.
Monday, April 3d.
City Point, April 3. Hon. 27. M. Stan
ton: Ihis morning Gen. Grant reports
Petersburg evacuated. He is Dushinsr for-
warn to cut on, it possible, the retreating
, . . ... .
army. A. Lincoln.
April 3, 1 1 a. M. General Z Weitzel tele
graphs as follows : We took Richmond at
8:30 this mormnar, and captured manv jruns.
The enemy left in great haste. The city is
on fire in one place, and we are making ev
ery effort to put it out. The people .receiv
ed us with enthusiastic expressions of joy.
Gen. Grant started early this morning with
the army towards the Danville road to cut
off Lee's retreating army, if possible. Pres
ident Lincoln has gone to the front
A Waslnncrnn lettpr savs t nws.nt n-
chancre in the policy of th FWrp.rary of tlf
Treasury is probable. The sale of seven-
thirty notes is steady; indeed, it has been
but slightly affected by the panic. The
sale yesterday was between three and four
million. It is believed at the Ireasury De
partment and bv the cnvernTnent npont
that the gradual reduction of the premium
on gold will increase rather than decrease
the popularity of these securities. The
fact that within a fixed period, and that a
short one, these notes will le convertible in
to money, secures them from depreciation
because of a panic. Even if the long bonds
fact that these bonds, at the expiration of
three years, will be paid in a currency then
doubtless worth as much as gold, the inter-
pf mf-nntunA Kmnor nfr tlinliITli rolo rt cait-
en and three-tenths ner cent., must kfn
them at par. Ihese are the opinions ot
gentlemen in the Ireasury Department
whether they be correct or not.
A dispatch from Montreal gives the fol
lowing additional particulars of the dis
charge and re-arrest of the St Albans rob
bers in Montreal. "The rebel raiders who
robbed the St Albans banks committed
murder and other depredations, and who
have been on trial here for some time, were
to-day discharged from custody, were at lib
erty for a little while but subsequently re-ar
rested on a charge of assault with intent to.
commit murder, lhes' were also arrested
on charge of violating neutrality. They
were refused to be surrendered under the Ex
tradition Treaty, on grounds of beligerant
rights. Judge Smith held the treaty no long
er binding on contracting parties, as United
States courts refused to recognize the belig
erant character of rebels, and cited the
charge of Judge Russel in Savannah. He
also held that Gen. Dix's order to shoot them
down recognized the raiders as beligerant,
and not as robbers. The raiders were re
manded until Saturday."
Although Governor Johnston desires to
be at Nashville on this day week, to partici
pate in the inauguration of his successor,
Governor Brownlaw, as Chief Magistrate of
that reconstructed State, he has delayed his
departure to have an interview with Mr.
Lincoln. Governor Johnson has apparent
ly recovered "his former excellent health, and
with it men ina in corf tare sa no.. He has
been at the Vice President's room of the
Senate every day for some days past and has
been visited hy many of his old friends.

BROWNING'S
EXCELSIOR COFFEE.
Whilst trying Coffee of all tha various brands.
Reincmber-'BROYVNIXG'S EXCELSIOR" at the
head it stands.
True, it's not like others that are "SOLD EVERY
WHERE."
A little stretch, we all do know, good goods will
easily bear.
(But a stretch like this "sold everywhere" is
very apt to tear.)
Kow.'I can safely say, without any hesitation.
There's none like "BROWNING'S EXCELSIOR"
in this enlightened nation.
Skilled chemists have not found a Coffee from any
store
Possessing the same ingredients as "Browning's
Excelsior."
Nor is there any one, in er out of the Coffee trade,
Who knows the article from which Browning's
Excelsior s made.
I'm told its made from barley, rye, wheat, beans,
and peas ;
Name a thousand other things but the RIGHT
' ONE if yoa please.
But with the coffee-men I will not hold contention
For the many, many things they say too numer
ous to mention.
Whilst they're engaged in running round from
store to store
To learn the current wholesale price of "Brown
ing's Excelsior.'
Some who know my Coffee gives perfect satisfao
tion.
Have formed a plan by which they hope to cause
a quick reaction.
The case 'tis with a few; no doubt 'twill be more
To name their Coffee after mine, (BROWNING'S)
EXCELSIOR.
Some say their's the only brand that will stand
. a ready test.
Now, try a little of them all see which you like
the best;
Three years have past away since first I sold a store;
Never have I in your paper advertised before ;
Nor would I now, or ever consent to publish more.
ii use some used by "everybody," "sold every
where," in ' every store."
A trade like this I do not wish; the orders I
could not fill ;
The factory all Jersey's land would take leave
not a. foot to till.
My trade is not so very large; still I think I hare
my scare :
But, reader, you must rest assured, 'tis NOT
' SOLD EVERYWHERE.

This Coffee is not composed of poisonous drugs,
it contains nothing deleterious ; many persons use
this Coffee that cannot use the pure coflee; it
takes but one and a half ounces to make a quart
of good strong coffee, that being just one-balf the
quantity it takes of Java Coffee, and always less
than half the price.
RETAIL DEALERS may purchase it in less
quantities than ten gross at my prices at the
Wholesale Grocers

U. S. 7-30 LOAN.
By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury,
the undersigned has assumed tha General Sub
scription Agency for the sale of United States
Treasury Notes, bearing seven and three tenths
per cent, interest, pet annum, known as the
SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.
These Notes are issued under date of August 15th,
1S64, and are payable three years from that time-,
in currency, or are convertible at the option of
the holder into
U. S. 5-20 Six per cent.
GOLD-BEARING BONDS.
These bonds are now worth a premium of nine
per cent., including gold interest from Nov., which
makes the actual profit on the 7:30 loan, at cur
rent rates, including interest, about ten per cent,
per annum, besides its exemption from Staff and
municipal taxation, wJuch adds from on, to thrre
per cent, more, according to the rate levied on o
ther property. The interest is payable semi-annually
by coupons attached to 'each note, which
may be cutoff and sold to any bank or banker.
The interest amounts to
One cent per day on a o0 note.
Two cents per day on a 100 note.
Ten cents per day on a So00 note.
20 cents per day on a 1000 note.
1 per day on a SOOO note.
Notes of all the denominations named will be
promptly furnished upon re :iptof subscriptions
This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
now offered by the Government, and it is confi
dently expected that its superior advantages will
make it the
Great Fopular Loan of the People.
Less than $200,000,000 remain unsold, which will
probably be disposed of within tho next 60 or 90
days, when the notes will undoubtedly command
a premium, as has uniformly been the case on
closing the subscriptions to other Loans.
In order that the citizens of every town and
section of country may be afforded facilities for
taking the loan, the National Banks, State Banks,
and Private Bankers throughout the country have
generally agreed to receive subscriptions at par.
Subscribers will select their own agents, in whom
they have confidence, and who only are to be re
sponsible for the delivery of the notes for which
they receive orders.

Curley.
It appearing by the memorial of leading citizens
of Karthaus township, that they are convinced
