The Campaign.
Gen. Graut has one tbiog io his favor,
in a degree possessed by no other army
commander. He has been tried and found
eqnal to every position he has filled. He
has another thing that greatly aids him
to -wit, the full confidence of the country.
The people have faith in him and in his
abilitv to accomplish his purposes. If
4f A.
oftentimes takes men of military educa
tion and. training ta, judge correctly of
military movements, but there are certain
things connected with army operations of
which men of ordinary judgment can
form correct opinions. One of General
Grant's recent orders comes under this
category. He has just ordered several of
the Generals to report for duty somewhere
else besides the army of the Potomac.
Our army in Virginia has been sacrificed
three or four times, by the atrocities of
corps and division commanders. General
Pope, with all the immense disadvantages
against him, would have whipped Lee had
it not been for the treason of Fitz John
Porter. Because; M'Clellan. had been
superceded by Pope, Porter disobeyed
the orders of the new Commander, and
refused to bring his division up to rein
force our troops, until the favored moment
passed, and victory was ' lost. Pope was
the victim of a conspiracy among the
officers in his own army. Uurnsido suf
fered in the same way at Fredericksburg.
Had Gen. Franklin and other corps com
manders seconded and supported him, he
wmld have succeeded ; but instead of this
they played very nearly the same
game en him that was played on Pope.-"
The recent movements of General Grant
in sending oil to some other quarter this
class of officers, proves very clearly that
he understands his business. He is deter
mined to have corps and division comman
ders that he can rely upon. -- :
1 Geu.'Qrant; is idorng another excellent
thing lor himself and the army. He is
ordering our officers who have been loafing
around Washington and other large cities
into active duty. We have had too many
oi this class ever since the war begun.-
These shoulder strap gentry have been
during the last winter almost as plenty as
the frogs in Egypt, a 0Yer ne coun
try. Gen. Grant is-further reducing
everything in the army to a regular sys
tem. Civilians, are being ordered away
from the front and sent home to attend to
some other business besides "commanding
the Army of the Potomac." Quiet and
unobtrusive, General Grant is moving
around among his men, and so little dis
play attends him wherever he goes, that
the soldiers are not aware that he has
been among them, until informed of it
afterwards.
Have we not all reason to hope that a
new era is to be inaugurated in the Army
of the Potomac, that the ".winter of our
discontent" is to give way to a brighter
and more auspicious day ? Nearly all
our past reverses can be traced directly to
the inefficiency or treason of our military
commanders. The rank and file, with
very few exceptions, have always fought
bravely. Now that we have a General in
whom the country has implicit confidence,
who has worked out for himself a military
reputation already, let us hope that the
opening campaign will be the last act in
the drama of this rebellion, resulting in
the restoration of a permanent and endu
ring peace:

New Tax Law. An amended Tax
Bill has at last been reported, and it has
been agreed upon in the House to devote
each forenoon to its consideration until it
is disposed of. It is calculated that it
will produce a revenue of three hundred
million?. Of course its provisions will
reach many articles not hitherto included,
while higher rates are placed upon some
already taxed. It is encouraging to see
that Congress has taken hold of the mat
ter in earnest, and the hope is universally
expressed that it may be speedily matured.
Some tangible provision for the payment
of interest as it accrues wi give an
impetus to the sale of the U. S. Bonds.
The Ball Opened.- JJy reference to
a card at the head of our editorial col
umns, it will be seen that the Chairman
of the Union .County Committee has
issued his call for a County Convention,
to be held atEbensburg, on Monday, 23d
May, proximo, to place in nomination a
ticket to be supported by the Union
organization of the county in the coming
election. . The Delegate Elections will be
held on the Saturday preceding. This is
a most important announcement, and we
hope our friends throughout the county
will take prompt action looking toward a
full representation in the Convention.
. m
BU There are two conflicting state
ments concerning the draft published. in
the Eastern papers one that it has been
postponed until the first of May, and the
other that it has been postponed until the
first of June. We also see it stated that
the deficiency of New York City and
Brooklyn under all calls is not over five
thousand, and that Pennsylvania is only
behind in her quota under all calls some
fifteen thousand. - It is evident that the
Government is disposed to avoid a draft
if the people will only manifest a disposi
tion to promptly fill their quota3 by vol
unteering. Pennsylvania can do this in
two weeks if she will. We trust that no
effort will be spared, now that our quota
is so nearly filled,' to get out of the odious
conscription and save the credit of the
State.
Sgg-Tbe great Fair which has just
closed in New York city netted the Sani
tary Commission over 81,000,000. The
principal feature of the concern was a
magnificent sword, worth 81,000, to bs
presented to the General having the most
admirerB, they indicating their preference
by paying a dollar and registering their
votes .- in favor of their choice. Grant
and M'Clellan were the chief competitors,
the former coming out winner by,, over
10,000 majority.
The Sanitary Fair An Appeal
from Gov. Ciirtln.
Governor Curtin has issued the follow
ing appeal in behalf of the Sanitary Fair
to be held in Philadelphia June 10th,
1864:
Pennsylvania Executive Chamber,
Harbisbtjbg, April 11, 1864. To the
IeophofIennsylvania: I have 'been
requested by the Committee of Correspond
dencc to address you on the subject of
the Fair to be held in Philadelphia, in
June next, fgr the benefit of the Sanitary
rintTimiaainti . . . - V
It gives me much pleasure to comply
with this request, and to avail'myself of
the opportunity also of calling your "at
tention to the Fair to be held in the
same week and for the same purpose at
Pittsburg.
I cannot, however, speak of the relief
of the sick and wounded volunteers of the
State without saying a grateful word in
their behalf to you. Charged by a joint
resolution of the Legislature with the
duty of caring for them, it has been my
irivilege to provide for their comfort, and
ook after their welfare. To this end the
State Surgeon General has at all times,
subject to the regulations of the United
States, visited with corps of surgeons and
nurses the battle-fields, and besides the
General Agency maintained at Washing
ton, special agents have constantly been
sent to the camps. to4he armies in the
field, and to the hospitals j and at all times,
when the occasion required, or admitted
of such aid, the provisions made by the
United States have been supplemented by
abundant supplies of bandages, clothing,
delicate food in fact, everything that
could promote the comfort of our soldiers
when suffering from wounds or disease. .
The compensation of the general agen
cy and the general staff, and the expense
of medicines and supplies of like charac
ter, were of course paid by the. State.
The special agents, men of standing and
character, performed all their duties with
diligence, fidelity, and alacrity, and in no
instance received any compensation ' for
.1 Tl .
meir services, i nave never naa to scec
for such agents. My only regret is that
I have been unable to accept the offered
services of too many men of the same
kiod, who, being disqualified for-military
services, and having freely contributed of
their means to every patriotic purpose;
were still not contented unless they could
bestow their time, labor, and personal
attendance on our disabled and suffering
defenders. The bandages, the clothing,
the food, the supplies of all sorts were
furnished in kind by you individually.
On every occasion when it has been made
known through the State that a battle had
been fought, or was expected, or that from
any other cause our sick, and wouuded
volunteers were likely to suffer, the earli
est trains from all quarters have brought
the needed supplies in profusion. Every
hospital within the State has been beset
by individuals of both sexes, but chiefly
women, eager to nurse, to watch, to aid
the inmates. Throughout the cities,
towns, villages, hamlets, farm-houses of the
Commonwealth, are found the Heaven
directed benefactors whose names are un
recorded j for whose individual efforts no
reward has been sought ; but he who has
witnessed the results, as I- have, must
have a heart of stone if it be not melted
by their true, unpretending, gentle, per
sistent, inexhaustible alacrity in this best
and holiest of good works.
The object - of the proposed Fair is to
provide means for similar good works, and
it is one that commends itself to every
friend of his country to all who admire
the heroic devotion of the brave men who
are bearing arms in its defence. It is un
derstood that the managers of these Fairs
solicit donations in good, saleable articles
of every description of manufacture,
American glass, produce, fruits, flowers,
paintings, engravings, statuary, and the
income of all the people of the State for
one day. Several similar Fairs have
been recently held, the proceeds of which
are stated in the newspapers to exceed one
million of dollars. Another is now being
held in New York, and others in Balti
more and St. Louis are to be held in this
and the next month, the proceeds of all
which will no doubt be large. The spirit
of emulation has been stimulated, and
Pennsylvania has been appealed to in the
hope that shfr will rival her neighbors.
1 cheerfully bear my personal testimony
to the prompt and beneficial efforts if the
Sanitary Commission immediately after
several battles, and especially after the
battles of Gettysburg, and to the abundance
of supplies then furnished by it.
Bevond this I have no knowledge of its-
actual operations, nor of its internal struc
ture or administrative arrangements. -The
oppression of public duties has been
too great to allow me to acquire or seek
such knowledge. It is well known, how
ever, that gentlemen or the highest char
acter participate in its management, and
that its objects are patriotic, meritorious,

Maximilian's Policy.
A correspondent of the New York Tri
bune, lately from Richmond, advances the
fqllowing plausible explanation of the
policy governing Maximilian with regard
to the United States :
. "The recent intelligence from , Europe
to ib$ effect that Napoleor.'s emperor for
Mexico had given the cold shoulder to
SKdell, Jeff Davis' Commissioner at Paris,
will, if true, and if the cold shoulder were
giVen in earnest, prove a severe blow to
the hopes of the Rebel leaders, and carry
despair to the hearts of many of their
officers and-soldiers. But I have reason
to apprehend that the refusal, if there
was any refusal, on the part of Maximilian
to grant Slidell an audience -was a. mere
stroke of policy by the new monarch to
dissemble his friendship for Jeff Davis &
Co., in the hope of getting his own
Government- recognized by the United
States, when he . can do as he pleases
about recognizing the Confederacy. I
know that tho highest functionaries in
Richmond have for a long time indulged
the expectation that the first steps of the
Mexican Emperor, on his accession to the
throne, wouid be to recognize the Confed
eracy, and that such step would be merely
preliminary to similar actions on the part
of France and other European Powers ;
and the greatest pains has been taken to
promulgate such an assurance in the
Rebel armies, for encouragement of their
lukewarm and despairing soldiers.
"On more than one occasion I heard
the Rebel Secretary of War say to high
officials that it was a fixed fact that Mex
ico, under its new ruler, and France, would
recognize the Confederacy. The Secretary
is a very cautious, if not a very conscien
tious man, and I do not think li6 would
have expressed himself so positively on
the strength of mere conjecture and
speculation. Id September last I saw in
the War Office a copy of a letter addressed
by Erlanger & Co., French bankers, to
Memminger, Rebel Secretary of Treasury,
on matters pertaining to the : Confederate
cotton loan, which concluded with the
? .. ... n t . r.. j
assurance that the jonieaerate states
would soon be recognized by Franco J and
I heard Judge Campbell, Assistant Secre
tary of War, say to Mr. AUegre of Hie
Enquirer, to whom he had just shown the
letter, that a year before such an assurance
from Erlanger & Co. would have been very
encouraging, but that the Government
had recently received official assurance to
the same effect, leaving the destiny of the
Confederacy no longer open to question.
These, and similar statements by Rebel
officials, constrain me to believe that the
apparent coldness of Maximilian toward
the Rebel Envoy was affected and well
understood by Slidell and his master in
Richmond. , .
"Be this as it may, it must not be
supposed that the Rebel leaders have any
affeetion for Napoleon or his protege or
tool, Maximilian. Their idea at the
beginning of the war was to establish a
great military aristocracy, founded on
Slavery, making, the whites all fightiug
men, and by a grand filibustering policy,
to extend the area of Slavery over Mexico,
Central Ameiica, and Cuba .and this is
their idea still ; but they fear that Napo
leon and Maximilian may delay for a time
the consummation of their" schemes. Yet
some of them console themselves with the
belief that, to use the. language of Mr.
Seddon in a letter to Win. S. Oldham of
Texas "Any European who attempts to
ferovern the monsrel His pane-Aztecs of
Mexico will soou be glad to escape from
the country with his life." As there is
little danger- of the 'rebels establishing
their independence and making these
Hiapano-Aztecs fellow-citizens, I reckon
the people of the North will not care how
soon Mr. Scddon's prediction is fulfilled."
6? The Doylestown (Pa.) Democrat
of the 19th. states that upon the property
of the Bucks County Lead Company, "a
new vein had been struck upon within a
few days, which was just being developed,
and which promises a rich harvest of this
valuable metal. When first discovered, it
was scarcely larger than a man's hand,
but gradually grfiw wider and wider until
at the depth of 10 feet, the vein measured
two and a half teet , in width, and the
bottom of it has not yet been reached.
The vein is in the shape of an inverted
wedge, Tunning east and west ; with a dip
of about 45 degrees. There is mixed
with the lead a considerable amount of
silver, and coppei to some extent is also
taken from the mines. The ore which
we saw upon the ground must certainly
yyeld at least 75 per cent, pure lead.
v&lbout 100 yards from this point another
rich vein had been struck, which yielded
larse lumps ol the mineral. Ihis new
discovery has caused quite an excitement
in the neighborhood, and no farm could
now be bought at double the value placed
upon it a year ago, as it is confidently
believed the whole valley is filled with
valuable mineral deposits
A New Orleans paper savs that
the colossal statue of Henry Clay in that
city, by direction of Mayor Hoy t, is to
have inscribed on its base the following
extract Irom one of the deceased states
man's speeches : .
"If I could be instrumental in eradica
ting this deepest stain, Slavery, from the
character ot our country, 1 would not
exchange the proud satisfaction which I
should enjoy for the honor , of, all the
triumphs ever decreed to the most sue
Scssfui onqueror." Henry Clay. ;
v';8&- The Nortnern ' Central railroad
company has .contributed one thousand

now oeing neia in .Baltimore.
I
We have repeatedly asserted that the
controlling hope of every rebel soldier,
from the chief butcher who is eking out
his miserable existence in Richmond, to
his tools who are executing his plans in
the field, was centered in the scheme
which will control tho spring campaign,
to invade the North-east and North-west.
There can be no longer any doubt, that,
unless the rebels are able to penetrate the
free States at several, or at least success
fully at one point, the rebellion will col
lapse. The chief traitors must theu win
decisive victories the coming campaign,
or their followers will desert them on the
field: of their shame. Indeed, the most
prominent and influential journals in the
South begin to see and acknowledge the
alternative of attempting to invade the
free States, as her only hope of success.
The South has exhausted her sources of
producing soldiers, and hence they must
invade the North to recruit among the
copperheads. As .in indication of their
plans and purposes, we submit the follow
ing from a late Southern journal :
From the Montgomery (Ala.) Mail.
"Early in the coming spring, with our
trans-Mississippi army we must invade
Missouri, and with Gen. Lee's army we
must invade Ohio, and with Gen. Johns
ton's army move through Kentucky and
Tennessee into Indiana and Illinois.
Without this, if we remain at home, and
attempt to defend a thousand points from
a thousand attacks from an enemy com
manding our seaboard and navigable rivers,
with ample means ot transferring their
armies where they choose, and with every j
part of our territory assailable to cavalry
raids, our agriculture will be ruioed, and
our manufactories will be destroyed.
"Let us invade them with our whole
force ; Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and
the "copperheads" will 6well our ranks.
We want food, raiment and gold. Let us
go and take what we need. The army
will receive the order, "Forward to the
North," with a shout. There let them
stay until our ruthless invaders cry for
peace. Better die there, with arms .in
our hands, thau starve here and expire
in chains. The best protection we can
give those we leave behind will be to get
the helpless of the North as hostages in
our power.
"If our trans-Mississippi army advances
upon St. Louis, and the Virginia army
upon Pittsburg and Ohio and Pennsylva
nia, unless the whole Federal army is
withdrawn from the South to defend Ohio
and Missouri, Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
Chicago will be captured by General Lee,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will be overrun
by our forces, and Missouri will be res
cued. But if the Federal army should be
withdrawn as it certainly will be or
else, if it should be greatly weakened to
defend St. Louis and Pittsburg, General
Johnston can, without difficulty, advance
to the Ohio, and liberate. Tennessee and
Kentucky. It is perfectly clear to our
mind that the invasion of the North will
effect these prime objects :
"1. It wjjl free the whole South from
the presence of the federal army. The
militia, garrisons and our troops, not in
condition to march, can protect our homes,
against the small force they may have to
harrass it.
"2. It will supply us with all the
horses, equipments, clothing and articles
of every kind needed by our soldiers.
"3. The retaliatory infliction of the
horrors of war will make the North desire
peace, and make foreign nations see that
we have the power to annoy our enemy,
and dispose them to recognize us.
"4. It will double our army instead ot
depleting it.
"5. It will end the war in our favor in
one year." .
Fort Pillow to be Avenged!
The inauguration exercises of the great
fair at. Maryland Institute, on the evening
of the 18th inst., were very imposing.
After the inaugural address of Governor
Bradford, the President was loudly called
for, and in Yesponse, proceeded to make a
brief address. He referred to the great
change which had taken place in Balti
more in the last three years. The world,
he said, has long been wanting a correct
the definition of the word freedom.
Whilst all profess to advocate libeity,
there was in the minds of many, very
opposite views of what liberty is. With
one man liberty implied working for
himself and doing as he pleased with the
proceeds of his labor. With others lib
erty meant to do as yoa pleased with other
men and their labor. One of these two
conflicting ideas would have to give way
to the other. Ue thought from some oc
currences that had lately taken place in
Maryland, her people were about deter
mining which of these viows of freedom
should coutrol her destiny. He then
alluded to the occurrence reported to have
taken place at Fort Pillow, the massacre
of several hundred colored soldiers by the
Confederates. Many supposed the Gov
ernment did not intend to do its duty iu
regard to the protection of our colored
soldiers. He desired .to say to all such
that they were mistaken. Yhcn tho
question of employing colored men as
soldiers was left to tho Government, it
rested very much with himself to tay
whether he should make soldiers of them
or not. ne pondered the matter carefully,
and when he bocame convinced it was a
duty to employ them in that capacity, he
did not hesitate to do so. He stood he
fore tho American people responsible for
tho act, responsible before the Christian
world, responsible he should stand in the
eyes of the historian, responsible he stood
before God, and he did not shrink from'
Rebel Hopes and Plans.
the decision he had made, for hebelie7ed
he was right. But when the Government
determined to make soldiers of colored
people, he thought it only just that they
should have the same protection as white
soldiers, (applause,) and ht hesitated not
to declare that the government would eg
protect them to the utmost of its power
Whenever a clear and authenticated case'
was made out retribution would follow.
Hitherto it has been difficult to ascertain
to a ' certainty what should govern a
decision in a matter so serious ; but in the
affair at Fort Pillow he thought we were

ment had no direct evidence to confirm
the reports in existence relative to tie
massacre, Put he feared the facts related
were true. When the Government does
know the facts from official sources, end
they substantiate the reports, retribution
will be surely given. Great applause 1
But how is the retribution to be a&mioia.
tered, is a question still to be settled.-.
Would it be right to tako the lives of
prisoners in. Washington, Fort Delaware
or elsewhere, in retaliation for acts in
which they had not shared, and which
will probably be found the ordering of
only a few individuals, or possibly of only
one man :
The President reiterated that the got.
ernment would not fail to visit retribution.
wuen me lacis were cieariy ootaiDea.-
lhroughout hw remarks he was warmly
applauded, especially for his determina.
tion to visit retribution for the barbarous
deeda of the rebels.
B?&- The Baltimore American, of Sat
urday, referring to the speculatons in
dulgcd in concerning the troops that have
for some time been collecting at Annapo
lis, says :
"General Burnside has ordered, wo
understand, all troops now on the way to
join him at Annapolis, to their destina
tion ; and we also hear that he haa asked
the Government farther time to gather
more men.. Another report says that
there will be no expedition from Annapo
lis ; but that these troops are here aa a
reserve corps; but all surmVings ere
at an end, as the troops are to more to
day." - -j - -
Bg. The President has made a call on
the Governors of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Wisconsin and Iowa for 85,000 militia, to
serve one hundred days after being formed
into regiment?, to perform such military
service as may be required of them iu anj
State. They will be armed, clothed, sub.
sisted and paid by the General Govern
