THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Butler, Pa., Wednesday, Jan.27,1864, rfrjp Entrance to the AMERICAN CintlJi Printing Office "'from the South, on Jefferson street. REESTABLISHED. —All persons interest ed are hereby notified that " McfJandless" j post office in Centre township, has been reestablished. Enoch L. Yarn urn has been appointed. P. M., in place of F. S. Magee resigned. ACCIDENT. —On the 15th inst.. Mr. John Baker, of Middlesex township. ' 'while carrying a stick of wood, slipped, 1 fell and broke three of his ribs. Doctor Stewart, was called on and cupped the patient; at last accounts he was doing well. BSr The Citizens of Butler township. 1 have succeeded in raising sufficient fund to procure the necessary number of sub stitutes to fill their quota ofthe draft, un der the late call of the President. Several of the districts in the county, i are moving in this matter, and with the | proper exertion, we have no doubt they j will succeed. The borough of Butler has furnished ! her quota, and is therefore clear of the j coming draft. The citizens of our town, j with a very few exceptions, done nobly ; and those who are able and did not do so. ; should not complain, if hereafter, they j are left to " hoc their own row." DIBTESBI.NO BEREAVEMENT. —On Sab bath day the citizens of Butler witnes.sen an event which will long be remembered, j and which should make lasting and deep j impressions upon the minds of all. In j the morning of that day it was announced j that three adults, members ofthe St Clair ! family, of Centre township, were to be burled at 3 o'clock in the*evening, in the Cemetery south of the borough. At the | hour appointed, the inhabitants of the ! town and vicinity, old and young, were j seen wending their way to witness the sol- | einn and ini|>rcßsive scene of the inter- j incut. At about 4 o'clock, the solemn tollingof the Court House bell, announced the near approach of the dead followed by a long procession of deeply aflccted ■ and sympathizing friends and neighbors. The deceased, were DAVID ST.CI.AIR and wife, and his mother. They were sick but a short time. The disease, we ] believe, was Typhoid fever. COMMtMCATIOHi. Fur rti" Cltifteit. !

The above was certainly a 1 stop in the right direction. If all our! 1 public schools in the county would do ' ' likewise, it would make the neat little j ' sum of s*,"> t. How much suffering could ' be alleviated in our Hospitals, and in tffe j ' field, by that which no one would miss; ! 1 think of the immense amount that all the j 1 public schools of the North could give.

For the Citizen. j A NORTHERN VISITOR.—A few weeks ago Mr. .Jesse Fulton, Sr.. of Middlesex \ township, discovered a white owl perching i upon the top of a tree near his barn, and j ( being an excellent marksman thought he , ( would take a shot at the northern travel- ; er; but before he got his gun leveled up- | ( on him, he flapped his broad wings and j moved off to a neighboring bill; he pur- I sued his game, and at a very long range | j '■ blazed away," and down came his owl- j ship like a huge ball of snow, from the j * boughs of a tall oak. Discovering that | lie was but slightly wounded in the wing, I ' r ' t lm cautiously approached the stranger, for j fear he might give him his foot, or pre- j sent him a bill, and taking him by the ; wing he conveyed him home, and kept j him in a cage until lie recovered from the | wound. This owl was nearly perfectly ' < white, and measured two feet in length. ( Jin fa t two uifhe * in extent. 1 have t se.irehc I " Wilson's American Ornithol- ) -ogy," fir a desciption of this bird, and ] f.iun 1 it to be the " Snow Owl," an in- j habitant of the dreary regions of the ] N irthefn llemisphe e, where amidst the 112 ble.ik m mnU'.ns. eiverel with eternal 1 ice in 1 sn >ws, he makes his silent home, i h iugh often seen in Canada and the , n >r.hern districts of the Unite 1 States. , .! lie usu il food of this species is said to j >e li i:es. gron ;c. rabbits, ducks, etc., and ■til Ice nn.it of his tribe, ho hunts by day , m »v iil ,n iiy twilight, an 1 is particularly | , .',n I of frequenting the shores and banks j , of fallow rivers, over the surface of j which he slowly sails, or sits upon a rock a little raised above the water, watching j , for fish ; these he seizes with a sudden , stroke of his formidable foot, seldom miss- | ] •iing his aim. This owl has passed from • the bands of Mr. Fulton and is now in , ►the p.Mse-sion of W. 15. Newell of the , Laclede Hotel, Allegheny, where the cu- j . rious may have a free sight of this bsau- ■ tiful Suow Owl. G. W. F. ' , For the Clli/en. j BCTLEU. Jan. 23, 1864. i EDS. CITIZEN :—The article in your is- J sue of the 20th. inst., under the title 1 i li Boys Out After Night," was the right j i thing in the right place. • We have never known a town the size of Butler that could i .turn out a greater number of bad boys. ; i It is not (infrequently the ease, that gen- j i -tlemen and ladies are insulted on the streets \ ;hy being struck with snow-balls and oth- I or missiles as they pass along after night fall. But we can hardly expect a refor mation among the boys, until one can be ef fected among the fathers. Your exhor tation to parents, urging them to keep the boys within doors after night, is good, and will doubtless be appreciated by that class of parents who stay at home after night themselves; but you can hardly expect that parents who do not stay at home them selves, will make a very great effort to keep their boys at home. It is the example of parent». that, causes peaceable citizens to | be annoyed by the whooping and yelling of the boys#n the streets. These parents may be found at the hotels, groceries and other loafing places, entirely ignorant as j to whether their boys are within doors or 1 not. We venture the.assertion, that there are fathers in Butler that seldom spend an evening with their families. How much better it would become these fathers to stay at home and spend i the evening in imparting useful instruc- I tion to their children. Then how much better the mothers wouldjcnjoy themselves, j we- need not say. There was a time ; when the fathers and husbands sought | the society of the persons that are now i their wives, and the mothers of their ch.il ! drcn; and when they told them, too, how much they enjoyed their society; but their love for their-society'seems to have grown cold as the cares of home increased, i and now the mothers spend their evenings 1 alone—the fathers having turned shop- I loafers, and the hoy son the streets. No NAME. For the Citizen. j I MESSRS. EDS. —An article appeared in the last issue of the Butler Herald , under! the head of "Defrauding the Govern-! ment," charging that '• two youug, loyal and patriotic attorneys" had been detected ' in an attempt to defraud the Government, j The Editor of the Herald claims to be the | author of all the Ilendd's editorials. No person has yet assumed the honor of .vri- | ting even the few decent articles that have ! appeared in that paper, and I presume j there is no one anxious to c'aim the | aterni- j tyof thearticleiuquestion. Thcundivide l j honor of coining that base and infamous j libel, belongs to Clark Wilson, the Editor! of the Ihrald, and lie alone will be held responsible for it. The man who in his j short career as leader of the Butler Conn- j ty Democracy, has gained the unenviable j not.irie'y of a common nuficr, is alone i worthy of such an honor. Those of his t party who lay claims to respectability have. I I am glad to know, taken occasion to ex-1 press their honest indignation, and have ! repudiated the publication of the libel, j in manly and generous terms. To those j whose friendship hns stood firm through i this severe ordeal, whose love of truth anil j hate of scandal is superior to the preju- j dice of political partizanship, 1 can onlj i pledge my heart-felt and everlasting grat- j itude. Before 1 had felt the poisonous j breath of scandal, in the hey day of my i political pride and aspirations, in the ! height of angry political controversy. 1 | have been proud to call them my friends, and ready to make goo I my friend- j ship by deed. Politicaly 1 have suffered j for so doing, but 1 have always thought j that friendship is too sacred to be cstiina- j ted by mere personal interest or political j prejudice; its limits are the very gates i of Heaven. The few pitiful instances where it has been unworthily bestowed, j and repaid by ingratitude, only serve to make its chain stronger and more to be ! appreciated where it is unsullied and un tarnished by foul treachery. My earnest ! prayer—"from all such fair-weather friends | good Lord deliver us," has been answered j " 0 summer friendship Whose fluttering leave*, thai shadowed u* in Our prtstperiiy, with the 1-- i.-t gust drop off In the autumn of our adversity!" Of the article in the last week's Herald, j I have only to sly that it is 112 ilsc and ! groundless as the heart of the author is | black, and lie knew it. It is impossible ' for him to appreciate either character or ; honor—for he has never been known to 1 look either in the face, and his friendship. ; if he ever pretended to such feeling, is j limited to his political party and to him self; to offend either is to provoke the on- ; ly passion of which he is capable—malice. 1 I have neither defrauded the Govern- j ment, nor attempted to do so. lam ready, willing, and anxious to have all my deal- j ings with the Government investigated. When that is done it will be found" that j the "boot is on the other foot," which is more than Mr. Wilson can ever hope to ' say of the Government, to which he bare ly acknowledges allegiance. I shall give Mr. W. a chance to investigate my con j duct with the law to back him if he wants i to dosounder the plea of justification. As he has promised to report in full for the . benefit of his readers, he can have the ! satisfaction of making mv record as black j as his insatiate desire to calumniate will I proiupf, and fear of punishment will allow. That I intended to present an account j to Government for expenses in recruiting. | I don't deny. It was suggested and urged 1 by prominent citizens of this pliee. That ' I presented an account to Government, I deny, and can prove. That I refused to ! certify to a claim which an agent in Wash- j ington filled out, I can prove; The whole ! affair occurred while I was lying wounded [ at Washington. That I notified the Gov | eminent when I learned that such a claim l was presented, that it was not right, I can I prove. If there was any attempt to de-; ■ fraud, it wae to be perpetrated on me as : much as the Government. Neither Mr. Ash nor Mr. Kramer had anything to do with the account. If their i J names were improperly used, the Editor j of the Herald will confer a favor on me i a3 well as on the community by showing how. I never saw their names in any connection with the account. It concerns me more than the Editor of the Herald i or the public, and I am quite as anxious j to know all about it. There is this differ i ] ence however, between myself ancf the for ! mcr—that I am unwilling to charge fraud j ! upon any person, until I know he is guil j ty of it, and can afford to await the dc j velopment of the truth; which, is what ! the Herald's venomous pen dii not, and :! cannot do. EDWIN LYON. Army Correspondence. CAMT .NEAR BEALTON STATION, Jan. 15th 1804. MESSRS EDITORS : —lt may not be im- j proper for one that is now out in theserv- i ! ice of our country, to speak through the medium of your paper, and give a short j sketch of the Regiment to which many of ! the Butler County boys belong, and of our : wherabouts; you are all doubtless aware, that the old 02d Pa. Begt., is the one that was raised and brought out by Col. Samuel Blaek, who fell while leading his men ft ward. The Regiment is now commanded I by our worthy and highly esteemed Lieut, i Col. J. Hull This regiment has seen I some hard service; it originally numbered j twelve hundred men, but was redu«ed down 1 j to three hundred at the time it received : the new recruits; most of the drafted men I from Butler County, I believe, were bro't ! to this Regiment, and 1 would say, the best of feeling has always prevailed among ! us—there is none of that bittornessof feel- i | in,' existing among the old aud new sold- ! ! iers which we so often heard predicted by : many at home; and 1 would say—especi- j | ally to those that have such fears of being \ | drafted on this account, that there is no | j danger ; it is only necessary for every man j to do his duty, and all will sro right. Our i J n c regiment is now encamped along the Alex- ( andria and Orange Bail Road*just live I miles from the place the regiment lay when 1 we were first brought to it. During the 1 four months which haselapsed since that, ! i wc have done considerable marching, hav- j I ing crossed and re-crossed the llappahan- j nock eight times, and the Rapidan twice. We arc how comfortably fixed, havinggood j | winter quarters; but the duty to do here j I is somewhat heavy; each man having to 1 I goon post or picket about every third day i —still the duty is performed with cheer- { j fulness. The boys are living in hopes that j ! this cruel war will soon be over, and that I we may not have to stay more than nine ; months or a year. In conclusion, I would i say, that all the Butler boys look well and j hearty, and from their appearance, one j would naturally suppose that soldiering ' | agrees with them. More anon. W. *. Ri OUT TO THE POINT. —The Missouri Democrat in an article headed '• Immedi | ate and Gradual Emancipationists," says: | " Some obscurity in the minds of people ! abroad as to the real difference between j j the parties above named, in the State of j I Missouri, would, perhrps. make a word of j explanation necessary. The difference is j j easily stated. Tlie immediate Emancipa i tiniiists want to get rid of slavery as soon ! j as they can—the gradual Emancipationists ' j want to keep slavery as long a* they can.: , The forinerdesireemancipation from choice i j —the latter arc willing to take it when i they can't help themselves." ! B©'" Hon. Edward 11. Ewing. who fol : lowed the fortunes of the rebels when they j j evacuated Nashville, returned to that city j j a few days since to renew his allegiance to | the old flag. He is one of the most prom- j ! ineut citizens of Tennessee. Arrivalami Dcpiirtiirenl'.UailM, j The mail from Butler to East jjandy, by way of Holy- ; ; ok", Conltertville. Anandale.

And {his unprecedented currency it has achieved bv very liberal expenditures in procuring early and authentic intelligence, by the feark 's expres sion of convictions, by the f:eeemjd »y ment of ability and Industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in | anv department of our enterprise, and by unsb? iuking J fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Frce j dotn. I By very large outlays 112 T early and authentic advices j by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents ; with the various armies of the Union, and by special ef j fjrts to furnish such information r«*pect!ng Markets, Crops, new dl«cove r ies or improvements in Agriculture, Ac,, as must specially Interest farmers,we have assidiously laborwl to make a journal calculated lo meet the wants and sub-ervo the Interests of the Producing Classes.— That end we have at leist measurably attaiued: for no i othor newspaper exists In America or Europe which is j habitually re*d by neatly so many farmers and their fun -1 ilies at is Tnr. TrtBCKK io-day. we shall labor to increase ! both the number and the satisfaction of this by fnr the i mo* t numerous class 112 its patrons, j PI ring the existence of the Whig party, this paper 1 supportwl that party, though always sympathizing with j the more liberal, progressive, AntfcSlavery 'wing there i of. When new Ismues dissolved or tran«f -rined ofdorpinl zations thi ugh the spontaneous uprisl--g of the people of the Free States ag vnstthe repudiation of the Mi b JIU I Restriction, The Tribune heartiiv participates!

When the long smoldering ■ conspiracy to divide and destroy our country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the Slave Power culminated In overt treas n and rebellion, ■ it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this c n spirncy a* t«> nil other considerations, and de ! voted all itse-crgies nnd efforts to the maintenance of our 1 I In tveiy great controversy which has divided | ourconntry. ! f has been f.nmd on that side which natu i rallv commands the sympathy and support of the large ■ majority or school-houses and :'r the early and endu ring adjustment of our National distractions,The Tribune leaves the time, the nature and the conditions of that ad | jnatment implicitly to those lawfully In authority, con j tiding iu their wisdom and patriotism, anxious to aid them to the utmost in their arduous responsibilities and not to embarrass them even by possibility. Firmly be lieving in the Apostolic rub*—' First pure then peacea ble"—holding that the total and final extirpation of Sla very is the true nnd only absolute cure for our National ill-—that any expedient that stops short of this can have but a transient and Illusory success—we yet pro pound no th'-ory ef "rec^n-oruction" nnd indorse none that has been propoundnd by another—neither Suin ner a. nor Whiting's, nor any of the various Coppcthcad devices for achieving "PeaVe n by surrounding the Re public into the power of it* traitorous fies —but, exhor ting. tlio American People tu have filth In their Govern ment. to re-enforce their armies and replenish their treas ury. we believe that, if they but do their duty, a benign Providence will indue time hi ing this fearful struggle to sncli a close as will beat subserve the true g»-eainossof our country and the permanent well-being of mankind.
