Raftsman's fourtmL
BY R. J. BOW.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JULY 5, 18G5.
THE liE""S.
We have had a conflict between the civil
and military authorities at Philadelphia, A
roan named Cozzcns", formerly contractor
for the Government, who has been on trial
before a court-martial for dishonest practices,
tras arrested on the street by the Provost
Marshal's guard, and carried off to the bar
racks. His counsel at once took out a writ
of habeas corpus, but the Provost Marshall
paid no attention to it. The Court then is
pued an attachment against the Provost
Marshall, but the latter disregarded this al
fo, andresisted the officers of civil law at
the point of the ba3'onet. There is to be a
further hearing of the case.
Hon. William Wilkins, died at his resi
dence near Pittsburg, on June ICth, at the
age of S6 years. Judge AVilkins held many
prominent positions during his lifetime- He
was President Judge of the Allegheny dis
trict aud Judge of the U. S. District Court,
a member of the State legislature and a
State Senator, a member of Congress and
a U. S. Senator, Miuister to Russia and Sec
retary' of War. He was a most accomplish
ed scholar, an earnest and forcible writer,
and an eloquent orator, and was a true type
of God's noblest work. Few men die so
widely lamented as William Wilkins.
A singular calamity happened to the
152d Illinois regiment at Tallahoma, Term.,
on the 19th June. While mounting guard
a thunderbolt struck and knocked down
nearly erery man of the guard. One man.
Jeremikh Coonly, was instantly killed, wh.le
thirty-two others were more or less injured.
The men were mostly injured in the region
of the shoulders, anus am' hips, they being
at "support arms" at the time. In several
instances men's boots and shoes were torn
from their feet, yet none of their feet were
injured.
A correspondent of the Boston Trans
cript states that he saw returning veteran
soldiers refused admittance to Mount Ver
non, because they had not money enough to
pay the fee demanded by the secession oc
cupant, named Herbert. A Colonel of a
regiment was mulcted out of one hundred
dollars for the privilege of allowing his re
giment five minutes view of the place.
The question of shipping jerked beef from
South America to the United States, is
gaining some advocates. It is said that it
can be shipped to New York at three cents
a pound, and sold at a handsome' profit at
about one fourth the present price of beef
in that city.
The recaptured archieves of the State of
Tennessee tell many a tale of Rebel villiany.
Gov. Harris's papers arc full of the secret
Listory of the Rebellion. Among other pa
pers on file, and indorsed by Harris, is a
proposition to assassinate Gov. Johnson in
Nashville.
Dick Turner the keeper of Libby Prison
tinder rebel rule, who escaped a short time
eince, has been recaptured, and is now con
fined in the cell constructed by the rebels for
the conSnenient of Col. Streight.
The War Department has for several
weeks past been engaged in preparing a
list of brevet promotions which will be pub
lished in general orders. The list will be a
very large one.
It is positively ascertained, that there has
been no consultation by the executive branch
of the Government as to when, where, or
how Jeff. Davis is to be tried.
A foundry and machine shop, for the
manufacture of agricultural implements, has
been started at Augusta, Georgia the re
sult of Yankee enterprise.
It is said that orders have been issued for
the arrest of M'Causland the incendiary of
Chauibersburg who is residing on his farm
in West Virginia.
The monitor Dictator is to have her ma
chinery slightly alH-red, and then sail for
Halifax- If this proves successful, she will
eross the atlantie.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis has taken up her
residence for the time being at Savannah,
She is represented as being in a very desti
tute condition.
The Rebel General Ewell has applied fcr
a pardon. Am it strange that the "un
conquerable" traitors are now as anxiou3 for
forgiveness ?
On the night pf the 25th June two fires
occured in Philadelphia, causiug a loss of
$20,000, of which $30,000 was covered by
insurance.
Gen. Thomas has ordered five thousand
bushels of corn to be distributed for the re

The Battle of the "Wilderness.
The expedition recently sent to the Wil
derness to re-inter and re-nirlrk the graves
of those killed in battle, accomplished the
work on Juno 2Sth, and have returned to
Washington. The whole affair was ui der
the charge of Capt. J. M. Moore, acting j
Quartermaster. The iirst regment of Gen.
Hancock's 1st Corps, under the command
of Col. liird, were employed in this duty,
which they performed with much credit to
themselves. The operations were commen
ced and continued without interruption until
last Saturday, when their sad duty was
completed. They commenced operations
on the extreme right and worked around
to the left. Ail bodies which had not
bee,n properly buried were re-'buried, and in
all cases where the graves could be identi
fied, boards were painted white and placed
over them with the name of the regiment
inscribed upon it. Carpenters and painters
were taken f long to do the work promptly
and thoroughly. About seven hundred
graves were thus identified and marked
Where it was impossible to identify them
they were marked as United States soldiers
unknown. On the extreme right two sites
for cemeteries were laid out aud enclosed in
fences. One of these is on the Orange
House road, a mile and a half from the La
cey House, and the other on the Orange
Court House Plank Road. At the junction
of these two roads a guide-board was put tip
directing visitors to the cemeteries. The
number of bodies ioun J unLuried were not
as numerous as has been represented, and
there was no oder from decaying corpses as
has been stated by some parties. The head
boards to many of the graves previously
placed were in many cases so obliterated as
to render indentification almost impossible.
Beauregard Again.
The man who bombarded Fort Sumter,
and who made during the war so many vio
lent speeches against the United States Gov
ernment, charging it with the most diabol
ical intentions and crimes, lias lately had the
assurance to settle quietly in the citj' of New
Orleans, as if he had done nothing within
the past four years to forfeit the protection
of the flag. He was included in the terms
of Johnston's surrender, and ma3- be pro
tected thereby, but if this be so it will be a
matter for profound regret. Amongst some
papers and personal effects lately captured
in Florida is a private telegram from this
same Beauregard, addressed to a rebel Con
gressman advising the passage of a bill for
the murder of all Union prisoners taken af
ter January, st3. Surely some sort of
proems against this man is within reach of
our Government, and we hope it will soon
Le brought to bear upon him.
The Constitutionality of the Bounty Law
Affirmed.
The Supreme Court, on an appeal taken
in a case tried in Indiana county, sustaining
the con.-titutionality of the Bounty Laws,
has affirmed that decision. Chief Justice
W.-odward and Justice Thompson dissent
ing. When this case was argued during the
session of the Court in Harrisburg, it
was anticipated that this Court would af
firm the decision of the lower court; and
we can justly assert that the action of the
court will be received with hearty approval
by every honorable and right minded man
in the Commonwealth. The action of the
court protects a large number of honet
creditors from being robbed of their materi
al resources, and has also preserved many
districts in the State from the temptatiou
and the disgrace of repudiation.
Daniel "in the Held."
The time being near at hand when the
Democracy of this county make their nomi
nations, candidates, we perceive, are becom
ing numerous. Among the patriots who
desire to serve their country in fat oSces,
we see our neighbor of the Republican fig
uring conspicuously for Treasurer. Daniel
held this office once before, at a time when
"kiting or banking without capital" aud de
faulting public officers were almost un
known ; nevertheless, "nearly all the lead
ing capitalists of our town," who are rigid
business men, may want to know certainly
whether Daniel's old accounts have ever
been signed by the Auditors, and we would
kindly advise him to see to it promptly, lest
false impressions might be created on this
important point, and damage his chances
for nomination.
The Effect.
A few evenings since, Dan. of the Secesli
organ, whilst standing at a street corner,
pointed to the decaying white-walnut tree
at Lanich's, and with a wise look, remarked
that "that was the effect of the Republican
meeting," when a bystander replied that he
did not "think it very surprising that a
Republican meeting was always sure to kill
a butter nut!'' Upon which Daniel discov
ered that he was wanted elsewhere.
The Colored Race. The New York
World of Thursday has an elaborate article
designed to prove that the colored race is
domed to "speedy extinction." We shall
not argue the matter with the World; but,
were we not utterly opposed to betting, we
should like to lay a small wager that the ne
groes will outlast the Copperheads. Pitts

Constitutional Amendment abolishing slav

M'Causland.
It is known says the Pittsburg Chronicle,
that Gov. Ccktin has demanded that the
rebel General M Cacslaxd be delivered up
for trial on charges of murder, robbery and
arson. A Grand Jury of Franklin county
have found a fill against M'Cacslaxd.
One of our exchanges calls attention to the
fact, that there was no resistance to M'Cacs
laxd at Chaniberslmrg. The town was for
mally surrendered to him on the 20th of
June, 1861, and it was his duty to protect
all the inhabitants who were non-combatants.
After it was in his possesion, he
made a demand upon the citizens for $500,
000 in United States Treasury notes, or
$100,000 in gold. The demand was made
peremptorily, and n time was mentioned
for an answer. It was well known by M'
Cavslaxd that he could noc gethat sum
in so small a town immediately. If it. had
been possible to collect it, several hours, per
haps days, would have been necessary to get
the sum together. But he did not expect
to get it. He knew that he might as well
have called for $10,000,000. He lad re
solved to burn the town, and his orders to
do so were issued almost immediately upon
the promulgation of the demand, and be
fore he had received a formal notice of ina
bility to raise the money, or a declaration
that it would not be done. His soldiers were
immediately at work. They entered private
houses, plundered them, assaulted the in-H
mates, and set fire to their dwellings ; they
killed some of the inhabitants, and after
having caused all the destruction possible,
they lied upon the appearance of Averill's
Cavalry. Two hundred and sixty buildings
were destroyed, some of tlie inmates were
burned alive. The loss of property burned
and stolen was between $1,000,000 and $2,
000,000. No Sinecure.
Whatever may be said of other Federal
oiyeers, it is very certain that the Presiden
cy of this country is not one of those conve
nient places in which the incumbent gets
rood f ay and does no work. It cannot be
said of our first ofiicer as it was said of the
liliies of the valley, that he toiled not, and
is arrayed beyond SOLOMON in his glory.
Every one now remembers that touching
confession of Mr. Lincoln in justification
of his occasional levity, that he wascomoel
led to threw off the weight of care at inter
vals or dij. There were lines in that worn
and honest face, whih were made by an in
cessant burden of labor and anxiety of which
the masses of our people little dreamed, but
which they now know too well. President
Johnson u now realizing his full share of
the arduous and harrassing cares of high of
ficial station in this hard working country.
With all his sturdy vigor of body aud mind,
he begins to feel the pressure upon his time
and thought, tell on his health, as it did up
on the faithful servant who preceded him.
We are glad to notice, by dispatches from
Washington, that the President has at last
determined to give himself a brief release
from the inundation of visitors and seekers
for objects of private gain, who have en
croached upon every moment of his leisure.
He owes it to the nation to take some de
cent care of his health. We blame a Gen
eral for needlessly exposing himself in time
of action, and should be as considerate of
the safety of our chief civil officer?.,
The Andersonvilie Prisoners.
Gov. Curtin, in conjunction with Surgeon
General Phillips, has procured a reliable
list of the Pennsylvania soldiers who died
at Andersonvilie, which will soon be pub
lished. Anions the accompanying papers is
a list of Federal prisoners received at An
dersonvilie. which totals 17.524. Of thee
403 took the oa h of allegiance to the rebels,
doubtless to preserve their lives from star
vation. Six of the prisoners were tried by
a coirt marshal and executed within the
stockade in one day. The total number of
de iths were 12.SS4. The highest number
of deaths in a single day, the 23d of August,
were 12S. The several lists embrace only
the prisoners confined at Andersonvilie from
February 2Gth, 1864. to March 24th, 1805.
Interesting Torpedo Experiments.
An interesting and scientific torpedo test
was given in New York harbor, a few drys
since, in the presence of several distinguish
ed naval officers and others. Shells were
exploded at the depth of fifteen feet, and
one from the bow, in the usual shape of a
bayonet percussion shell, containing a charge
of sixty pounds, which raised a large column
of water,submariiieshells,&c. This torpedo
was explobed about one quarter cf a mile
from the -vessel, near Governor's Island,
with terrible effect. The tests were most
gratifying and successful, there being no
failure in any case, the time occupied be
ing but a very few minutes, clearly demon
strating the efficiency and destructive pow
er of these torpedoes.
Something Cub iocs. The X. Y.Xews,
the leading organ os the rebellion in the
North, singularly enough, advocates the
bestowal of suffrage upon the freedmen of
the South. That it speaks by authori y of
pome party of clique down there we have no
doubt ; yet it is perfectly well known that
the leading politicians of that section, who
are retting back into the Union. onDose it

Two petroleum companies, swindles, were
exposed in New York, last week, and the
parties arrested. Served them right
Inhuman Treatment of Our Prisoners.
Senator Wade, as Chairman of the Com
mittee on the Conduct of the AVar, is now
in Washington revising the sheets of the
report of that Committee, comprising re
cent testimony as to the treatment of our
prisoners received at the hands of the rebels.
The Committee say the evidence clearly
shows that tens cf thousands of our brave
soldiers have fallen victims to that savage
and infernal spirit which actuated those
who had the prisoners at their mercy, who
sought by midnight arson to destroy hun
dreds of defenceless women and children and
who hesitated not to resort to means to
commit acts so horrible that the nations of
the earth start aghast as they are toM what
has been done.
The prison Surgeon's report of the Rich
mond prisons fr one quarter, shows that a
fraction over one half of the cases entered
resulted in death, and most of those deaths
were more the result of inhuman treatment
and neglect, than disease. But a little more
than half the necessary number of beds were
provided, and the nurses often occupied them
to the exclusion of the sick.
After our men died their bodies were
treated as the carcasses of so many dead an
imals. They were piled in the dead house
and their eyes and cheeks eaten away by
rats before they were put in coffins. The
keepers generally manifested almost total in
difference to the livej and conditions of the
prisoners, and as one of the many illustra
trations of this, a witness testified to the fol
lowing : I was standing one day by the
Hospital, and one of our negro soldiers cap
tured at the explosion of the mine near Pe
tersburg, was standing near by engaged
in skirmishing, as we prisoners call it, ex
amining his clothes for vermin. A rebel sen
tinel whom he happened to be looking at, at
the time, drew up his musket, took deliber
ate aim and fired, killing the negro on the
spot. On berng asked what he did itfor.he
answered : "To see the d d Hack son of a
b hdrop." The rebels said they got thirty
days furlough tor shooting a yankee.
The committee say it is a matter of con
gratulation that notwithstanding the great
provocations to pursue a different course. our
authorities have ever treated their prison
ers humanely and generously , and have, in
all respects, conducted their contest accord
ing to the rules f the most civil warfare.
The Way the British Feel It.
The close of the war in America has been
a great disaster to Bombay, in the East In
dies. It reminds one of the philosophical
expriment cf striking an ivory ball, and see
ing another fly off from an opposite side.
Rom bay, on the opposite side of the world,
feels the concussion of the sudden cessation
of hostilities more than London. Of course,
London's turn is coming, for the failure of
half the Commercial houses in Bombay can
not but affect their English correspondents.
The rise in cotton and the immense influx
of money to pay for it, had caused such a
fever of speculation as the East had never
knov n. All kinds of Joint stock companies
were formed, shares which cost 500, went
up to $ 15,000. The news of Gen. Lee's sur
render sent down the price of cotton one
half, and exploded all these wonderful spec
ulations. The parsees are in mourning
their sun is darkened. Gen. Grant little
ght that when his artillery compelled
the evacuation of Richmond, there was a
city on the other side of the planet on
which h's batteries raiued ruio. London

The Prisoners at Fortress Monroe.
The imprisonment is having its effect on
C. C. Clay, who has become sick. He is
not suffering from any particular disease,but
is laboring under a general physical prostra
tion or debility John Mitchell is morose and
gloomy. He makes no attempt to converse.
He smokes silently, and scowls fiercely upon
his guard. Jeff Davis thrives on his fare.
He is becoming robust. He is disposed to
open communication with the guards, though
no notice is taken of his overtures. Dr. Craven
has become the recipient of his meeischaum.
Davis i.ow smokes an ordinary briar root
given him by Dr. Craven. Ren-orse for his
missdoings, or anxiety for the retrkntion in
store for him seem alike foreign to the re
flections of the "President." - -
An Experiment Easily Tried. We see
it stated, that very wonderful effects maj be
produced by watering fruit trees and vegeta
bles with a solution of sulphate of iron.
Beans and peas watered by this solution
will grow to nearly double the size, and will
acquire a much more savory taste. The
pear seems to be particularly well adapted
for this treatment. Old nails thrown into
water and left to rust there, will impart
to it all the necessary qualifications of forc
ing vegetation as described.
Severe. The Evansville Journal is in
formed that some days ago Hon. Lazarus
W. Powell accosted a returned rebel soldier
in Henderson, asking him what made him
go off to the rebel army. "You did d n
you," was the prompt reply. "Your har
rangue at the Court-house, over 3'onder,
sent meand hundreds of others to fight a
gainst the old flag."
A one legged soldier who lost his leg at
Gettysburg, was knocked down in Milwau

BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.
At the nineteenth annual meeting of the
Clearfield Baptist Association, held on the
16th aud 17th of June, 1865, the following
resolutions, on the state vf the Country,
were adopted :
1. Resolved, That the returning peace by
the suppression of rebelliou, the re-establishment
of our national authority over all
the revolted States, the vindication of our
national honor and the triumph of Free
dom in our beloved country, call for a cheer
ful and emphatic expression to our devmit
gratitude to God who "maketh the wrath
of man to praise Him, aud restrained the
remainder of wrath."
'2. Resolved, Thitt we execrate the spirit
of sir very manifested in the abuse of flaves,
the murder of soldiers after surrender, the
starvation and other maltreatment of pris
oners of war, and culminating in the assas
sination of our late Chief Magistrate, Abra
ham Lincoln.
3. Resolved, That in our national life
struggle, God has shown himself on the
side of equity ; and that we shall be in dan
ger of his displeasure if we fail to concede
and protect the rights of all men without
reference to color an essential condition of
the perpetuity of our American system of
Government by the governed.
4. Resolved. That we promise to remem
ber our present Chief Magistrate, Andrew
Johnson, in our prayers ; to sustain him in
exterminating (he last remnants of slavery
from our land, and in administering justice
to the chiefs of the late rebellion recogni
zing the truth of his saying, "mercy to an
individual may be cruelty to a State."

Progress of Religious Liberty.
The only progress on the road to greater
freedom which the English Parliament has
been encouraging, says the New York Tri
bune, is the repeal of some of its proscrip
tive laws against members of the nou-estab-li.-hed.churche-.
England has remained in
this respect tar behind most of the other
countries of Europe. It was not until
that the Catholics, although constituting a
bout one-fourth of the entire population of
the United Kingdom, were admitted to the
two Houses of Parliament. It was only a
few days ago that the doors of the House
of Commons were thrown open to the Jews,
but the House of Peers stiil remains closed
to them. Both uieaures had been long de
sired by the country and, now that they
are adopted, everybody sees that they have
become unavoidable, and that it will never
he poibleforany statesmen to revoke them.
The Hon 1 a i) Catholics are represented in the
House of Commons by some thirty Irish
men : and the Jews, small as their number
is, have already secured some half-dozen
seats.
The captured correspondence between the
reVl General Slaughter and the Imperial
ist General Mejia, show clearly that the
trade in cotton by the rebel government a
recognized by Maximilian and hisauthority,
and that about two million dollars worth of
cotron was carried ncross the Kiu Gr:;nde to
Mexico, through theconnivance of Mexican
authorities, subsequent, to the surrender
of the rebel General Kirby Smith. If of
ficial inquiry proves the correctness of this
report, our Government will no doubt de
mand its restoration.
The Commissioner of Patents will issue
this week one hundred and seventy-two
patents, being eleven more than was issued
last week, when a greater number was issued
than ever before. Duriiii: the last three
months there has been issued a greater
number of patents, by twenty-five percent.,
than was ever issued in the same period be
fore. On Wednesday a man undertook to ride
or drive a horse from Boston to Portland,
1 10 miles, between sunrise and sunset, the
motive being to win a thousand dollars. The
horse got within six miles of the goal con
siderable within the time, when he fell and
immediately expired. Such cruelty should
be severely punished.
The Heralds special says: Of twenty
two thousand rebel prisoners recently at
Point Look-out, but two thousand now re
main, and these are ordered to be immedi
ately released, excepting about eight hun
dred .'ick. The entire camp will be closed
in a few weeks.
The Mexican Imperialists of Matamoras
have recently been very much excited over
a report that there shortly will be 70,000
United States troops along the Rio Grand,
on the Texas side.
The Lutheran Theological Seminary at
Gettysburg, Pa., has just had Rome $26,
000 added to its endowment fond by sub
scriptions from Baltimore.
Money order post offices are to be estab
lished in Altoona, Bellefonte and Bedford,
to operate on and after July 3d.
No more 5-cent fractional currency will be
issued in view of bringing into circulation
the two and three cent nickels.
Three-fourths of the workmen in the Phil
delpia Navy Yard are to be discharged, ow
ing to the closing of the war.
On the 22d June there were still over 50,
000 soldiers in the several military hospitals
throughout the country.
