THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. Butler, Pa.,Wedne*sday>Aprll 6. 1864. Entrance to the AMERICAN CITIIZX Printing Office from the South, on Jefltetwon *trect. gar" Thomas M'Nccs lias been appoint ed Post Master ill Jaeksville, Worth tp.. in place of John Boyle, resigned. Manitary l'air. In our issue of last week, wc gave the proceedings of a meeting held in the Oourt-liouse, in Butler, with regard to an organization of our county, for the pur pose of co-operating with the constituted HUtho ities of the Great Sanitary Fair to be held in Pittsburgh or Allegheny city. In the present issue will bo found the names of the gentlemep who have been appointed to act as chairman of commit tees in the different townships and bor oughs of our c<«nty. The duty of those gentlemen, as we understand it, is to pcr . feet an organization in the different sub districts for which they have severally been appointed, by appointing or calling to their assistance five others in each dis trict, three ladies and two gentlemen. A circular will be is ucd in a short time by the Ci-nlral Committee, giving the neces sary instructions to the different sub-com mittees, so that all may act in harmony and unity. It is hoped, that the gentle men who have been appointed, will goto work at once, and appoint their assistants. In making these appointments in the townships, we would suggest the proprie ty of selecting", as far as praticable, a rep resentative in each school district. We hope* that every man, woman and child, will feel an interest in this matter ; the object is worthy our consideration, and we foil satisfied that all that is necessary is. to let our people know and understand ; what is required of them, and they will j respond nobly and with that spirit which k becoming of a Christian people. I/Ci ' us work then, with a will, and show thai j we arc alive to every good work-. When the gentlemen who have been j appointed committees, have selected the ladies and gentlemen in each ol their districts, they will please forward the names to \\ ni.

To each kind word you've trored; Farewell! but ever bear in mind Tliat time cannot efface The thought* of bygone day* and hour* 'Mi OiililiTii. | Permit me to say to you children, I j alwav- have a great interest in your* id fare. Ten years of iny life were passed al- j most exclusively in the society of chil- j dren, and the remembrance of them is ! mingled with many a pleasant association. Although the Editors of the Citizen have ' no department in their valuable paper, dc-1 voted exclusively to your reading, they I I will permit us a short space to offer you : a wordof counsel. Doubtless, it 1 could call you all by name, Willie, Henry, Ma-; rv. Annie, Sic., you would approach me with countenances burnished like a lake reflecting the rays of a summer sun, for ; j I can hardly conceive of a child now, : I when they have just been permitted to j : say. good bv to frosty winter, and welcome i | the merry spring, wearing a pouty face.— J Should there be one with a face twice a.i ; long as it is broad, let me ask you, if you are not in bed these beautitul mornings | till the birds have caroled their loveliest notes ? and you have missed their sweet j influence on your hearts? You can all i readily understand children, that : spring is the most important season of the j year. The farmers prosperity depends in the improvement of its sunny hours.— j Should ho, intent on personal happiness j and case, refuse to nerve his strung arm to break up the fallow ground and sow the seed, what would lie the appearance pre sented by his fields and farms at the en suing harvestNo waving fields of grain would invite him to fill his granaries, and > ! thus enable him to bid defiance to liag | gard want. Or what would he the ap- j | pearance of yonr mother's garden, should j i Horticulture and Floriculture be entirely ; I neglected ? Flowers and vegetables do ! not grow without cultivation, hut weeds spring up spontaneously. Did you ever j reflect that youth is the spring time of j life, and that your minds arc like an un- i cultivated field? youth should be, employed in depositing seeds of knowl- I edge ? How lightly and merrily have you ! tripped along the walks of yoitr mother's garden, while delight | flowed spontaneously from your lips, as , you gazed upon tho beautiful flowers that nodded so trace fully as yon approached , them. How terrible the contrast, should '• rank weeds and «W1 nettles" be permit ted to supplant them. Would you have minds resemble tho tastefully arranged garden, or the one where weeds- and net tles have monopolized all its borders?— All will dejiend upon the efforts you put i forth now, while it is with yon the spring ; time of life. Carefully deposit the seeds of knowledge, useful and ornamental, and by proper culture you will ensure a rich : harvest in afteryears. You have doubtless . often said how happy T should be if spring would extend through the whole year.— In vain will you se.-yeh for a spot on this earth blighted by the effects of sin, where no extremes of heat or cold will annoy. But, •' there is a happy land far away," in regard to which the immortal Watts has ; sung '• No chilling wind nor poisonous breath can reach that heathful shores," and now in the spring time of life, culti vate your heart as well as your intellect; that when you have passed honorably and usefully through the various seasons, spring, Bummer, and autumn of life, you may be permitted to dwell ill that happy land, where flowers are ever vernal. We •would close by inviting your attention to the counsel of a mall who lived a thous and years before Christ, and whose " wis dom excelled the wisdom of' all living, and whose fame was in all the nations round about, lie spoke of beasts and i fowls, and creeping things, and of lubes. Also, of trees, from the Cedar tree that " is in Lebanon, even unto the Hyssop, that springeth out of the wall." Well | might he say, " of wisdom she is my sis j ter and of understanding thou art my kinsman." This exalted personage says to you children, " receive my instruction ami not silver, aud knowledge rather than choice gold ; For wisdom is bette( than | rubies and all the things that may bo de sired arc not to be compared to her." FLORILLA. The of C'opiM'rln'udiHin. We do not. see how any man. who has a spark of patriotism yet left to fire his ! blood, cand read the prWmlings of the late Illinois rebellion without at least ad- J mining to himself, if he does not do'clare openly, that the men wlio initiated these ; ' proceedings aro, in every sense of the i word, traitors. Nor can we see how any ! truthful man. whether he possesses that j j patriotic spaik or not, can for one moment | I deny those traitors received their teach- | i ings of the leaders of the Copperhead j party. All accounts agree in stating 4hat j I the " riot." as it is mildly termed in some j ! quarters, was unprovoked and prcmcdita- j j ted; that I'nion soldiers were shot down I by these miscreants merely because they j i wore the national uniform; and that the j I sole purpose which actuated tho "rioters" | l was Jefianco to the civil and military au- j ; thority of the government. They meant I to assist the rebellion by creating, as did j the New York rioters last summer, "a fire j in the rear." And there is a remarkable j corelation between the circumstances j which characterized the hvo riots. The New York riol was almost coincident, and | was intended to ln»wholly so, with the dvance of Lee into Pennsylvania; the Coles county riot was commenced the very day Forrest was besieging Padueah, Ken j lucky. Southern Illinois, in which Coles I county is situated is notoriously disloyal. ' ! Had Forrest taken Padueah and crossed j into Illinois, there is every reason to bc ; lieve that the Copperheads of all that rc | gion would have risen as did those of Coles county. They were only restrained | I'rom doing so because of Forrest's dul'eat at [ \ Padueah. That the iyinois riot was produced en- j ! tirely by Copperhead teachings is not put- j j ting the fact strong enough. The pur j pone ai the intense school of Copperhcad j ism is trrntton and treason only. Time ! | and again have prominent leaders of that j i party shown their sympathy with the rcb j ids by words and acts, tho disloyalty of j | which no sophistry rould conceal ; time | j and. again have bands of their deluded j followers, with arms on their shoulders j and blood on their hands, defied the offi-1 | eers of the. United States and attempted to nullify its laws. The organization of i the Golden Circle is as thoroughly in sym- [ i p ithy with all the aims of the Southern | ! Confederacy as if every member of it | were a South Carolinian. The government at Washington has not i been severe enough with these domestic i I tra'tors. Had it two years ago hung tho I first dccu of them who were found in | arms against its authority, we would not j now he called upon to chronicle this I Hi nois "riot." We hope that every cop-: pcrhcad engaged in that " riot' will lie ! pursued until caught, and when caught j made to suffer the fate which should be J meted to all traitors. Half-way me.isurcs with parricides will suffice no longer. W c ' must conquer them or they will conquer I us. They arc assisting to-day to prolong | tho war by encouraging the South to be- | lieve that, sooner or later, the North will j itself be a divided house. They mean | that it*/»/// be. and are now hard at work i in every Northern State endeavoring to obtain control of the Democratic party, j that they may use it next fall to secure !' the realization of their treasonable hopes. Gentlemen of the Democratic party!] You arc not all Copperheads. God for- j bid ! We know that some of you would j die in the " deadly breach" before the \ United States of America should cease to constitute 'one nation. Conceding this I much to your patriotism, will some of you explain in a plain way the reason why you should longer be found in company with proved traitors ?— Exchange. How THE REBELS STEAL SR IT LIES SENT TO UNION I'KISONERS.-—A letter from Annapolis, Md., says: ".The reminiscences of the returned j officers from tabby are in the main simi lar, and mostly a repetition of the old tale, i The officers explain the' dodge by which we have been made to believe that the 1 boxes sent-from homeland by the Sarita- i ry Com mission have been or are being de livered, thus: When a flag of truce boat arrives, the rebels distribute a few boxes, j but stop the moment the next batch of; rcloascd prise tiers are off. These men seeing the distribution going on. annouuee : that fact at home. It is averred by more ' than one officer eognizant-of the facts, that there have been at least two thousand j boxes received by the rebels, but never i distributed, some of which are now on hand. The inekhod of giving the contents of a box to ijs owner is somewhat ingen ious, but quite destructive. The fortunate ' prisoner is required to bring his blanket 1 and spread it on tho ground. The bo»*is I opened, and package after package taken I out afnl examined. Cheeses are cut into inch pieces and pitched into the blanket. ! Cans of condensed milk are perforated with a ste«l ]>oiuted baton and follow suit. | Packages of coffee, tea, sugar, salt, etc, are torn open aud poured *ito the con | glomeratioo. Cads of butter arc treated i a la cans of milk, and so on through the i whole category of goodie* The unfor ' tunato owner is then told to take up his blanket and walk, which ho doos, cureing the brute who spoiled first his luxuries ' and then his comfort." 1 . ~ m i.

The > j 112 i iwing brief nummary exhibits what . j l'euusylvania has done in the way of con j tribnting men to put down the rebellion : Thg (irst levy of men was twenty-five , infantry regiments f'ir three months' scr ! vice, numbering 20,979 men. This was 1 followed, underact of Congress, July 2-. 1801. by the organization of four indc pcn«' ;n. jgnucnto. numbering 4.711 of fice: and men. Thirteen regiments of infantry, one of ' cavalry and one of artillery, numbering" ■ 15,856 men. were raised under the act of May 15, 1801. Under the act of Congress, July 22-. | 1801, and upon direct Yeqnisition of the j President,'seventy-three regiments, inclu j ding three of artillery and twelve of cav j airy, were organized. They numbered j S;7.vin inutl. Under the call of July 7, 1802, forty- I three regiments were organized, including eighteen regiments of nine months' men. sitjce mustered out of service. Six of the j regiments were cavalry and one artillery. ! Three batteries were raised on special re j (juisition. Five of the regiments assigned | numbers failed to orgauize. This quota j numbered 40.883 men. In addition, 9,- | 259 men were forwarded as recruits to regiments in the field, and enlistments in organizations outside of the State were j estimated at 5,0t^0. I'nder the draft ordered August 4.1802 fifteen regiments, numbering 15,100 men, 1 were organized. They served nine months j and were discharged.

Col. Alexan der. , A three years' Infantry regiment, ! under Col. (Jeo. I'. M'Lean, is being re- I organized in Philadelphia. During the j year, 4,458 recruits were forwarded to | regiments in the field. All of the other troops raised in the State were for short j j terms, and wore raised in the two military j Departments into which the State wasdi j vided. They were : In the Department of the Monongalie- j i la, five regiments ninety days' militia; one unattached company cavalry (Dick's) { and one of artillery (Knap's) numbering 2 750 men. In the Department of the Susquchan- j J in* there were organized twenty-three reg- ! j iments. one independent battalion infant- | | ry, one battalion cavalry, and three batte ! lies artillery, all ot' ninety days' militia, j Also five unattached companies of infant- J ry and two of' cavalry, aggregating in all I 21,292 ie j.
