THE AMERICA!!! CITIZEN,
Butler, Pa., Wednesday, Aug. 4, '865
ftenatc.
The Senatorial Conferees of Armstrong,
Butler and Lawrence counties, having
failed to agree upon a candidate on the
3d inst., adjourned to meet in the Roro.
of Butler, on Thursday, the 24th instant.
It is to be hoped that wise counsels will
prevail in their deliberations, and that tlje
same good feeling which has characterized
■their efforts thus far, y/Ul still prevail, and
that the,)' wKI agree upon a candidate at
(their next meeting.

Wc call the attention of our readers to
an article in to-day's paper, entitled,
"The Rebel Golgotha," which throws
more light upon the manner in which our
•brave soldiers were treated at Andereon
-ville. The facts, (for such no doubt they
are) related in this article are of such a
. character as to exceed anything that has
ever been perpetrated by any people
claiming to be civilized ; and shows most
clearly the fiendish spirit growing out of
that "peculiar institution," which has
.been fostered in the South and protected
jby our Government. An institution which
begets such a spirit in its advocates and
defenders, is certainly not of heavenly
birth, and cannot be of Divine origin.—
Evidence, plain and conclusive, is accu
mulating thick and fast, which shows
clearly the complicity of leading Rebels
in the systematic mal-treatmcnt and star
vation of Union prisoners at Anderson
ville and elsewhere, the half of which
will never be known. It is to be hoped
that the guilty parties will receive the
justice due their atrocious crime.
Notice!

"Fight JMUI Sixteen."
The following, which we clip from
an .exchange, being part of an address
delivered by Lord Shaftsbury, at a pub
meeting in London, is no doubt a truth
ful statement of the manner in which
young persons are neglected, and ihu.
permitted to run into crime. We have
heretofore, on several occasions taken the
liberty of dropping a few words to pa
rents and guardians with regard to their
, duty towards the rising generation.—
We commend this article to our readers,
it is short and to the point.— Kt>.
"Lord Shaftsbury recently stated, in a
public meeting in Loudon, .that he had
ascertained irom personal observation that
of adult male criminals in that city, near
ly all had fallen into a course of crme
between the ages of eight and sixteen
years; and that, if a boy lived an honest
life up to twenty years of age, there were
forty-nine chances in his favor and only
oue against him as to an honorable life
.hereafter.
This is a fact of startling importance
to fathers and mothers, and shows a fear
ful responsibility. Certainly a parent
should secure anil exercise absolute con
trol over his child until sixteen—it can
,-not be a very difficult matter to do this,
•except in very rare cases ; and if that
-control is not wisely and efficiently exer
cised, it must be the parent's fault—it is
, owing to parental negelect or remissness,
♦flcnce the real source of ninuty-eight
per cent, of the crime in a country such
as England or the United States lies at
the door cf the parents.
It is a fearful reflection ; we throw it
before the minds of the fathers and moth
crs of our land, and there leave it to be
thought of in wisdom, remarking only,
as to the early seeds of disease, that in
nearly every case they arc sown between
. eudowu and bedtime, in absence from the
family circle, in the supply of spending
money never earned by the spenders,
opening the doors of confectioneries" and
soda fountains, or beer and tobacco and
wine shops, of the circus, the negro min
strel, the restaurant, aud dance; then
follows the Sunday excursion, the Sun
day drive, the easy transition to the com
pany of those whose ways lead down to
the gates of social, physical, moral ruin.
From "eight tc sixteen I" ui these few
years are the destinies pf children fixed
in forty-nine cafes o.ut of fifty—fixed by
parents ! I^atewery father and mother
solemnly vow. "By God's help, I'll fix
my darling's destiny for good by making
home more acttractive than the street."
—The Secratary of War has giv- '
en orders for the trial by military
commission of Joseph Jackson, of
Washington county, Miss., who mur
dered a negro laborer. Under the
la.ws of that State no witnesses could
testify against him, and lie felt him
self as safe as he would have been
before the war. But he reckoned
without the officers of the Freedmen's
Bureau, and -especialy without that
fearless cabinet minster, whom a
writer in the New York Evening I'oxt
denounces as "tlie merciless tyrant
who presides in the War Department."
For our part let us thank God that
there are men in power in Washing
ton who are as prompt to do justice
to the lowly and friendless, us to the
great iyui arrogant. — Chicago Jie

A IJKIc Story, or tlie Lotit De
mocracy.
A man of but moderate acquaintance
with the wicked ways of the world, visi
ted the great city of New York, where
there are always some people so little ac
customed to see the green fields of the
country that any thing like verdancy is
sure to attract their attention. The
stranger was dolighted to find these city
people so kiud to to him, apd so easy to
get acquainted with. Under their patro
nage he enjoyed himself highly, and
eventually got into a state of happy ob
liviousness of worldly cares and troubles.
Upon recovering froui this state, his head
felt uncommonly henry and his pocket
remarkably light, l'assing sorrowfully
down a street he noticed the sign of an
Intelligence office. Finding a dollar in
his pocket that had* escaped the hands
of fcis friends, he entered the office.—
With an impediment in his speech,
which was rather aggravated by the
confused state of his mind,he said :
" Yon k-k-keep intelligence here, do
you?" "Yes, sir." " (Veil, I want a
dd-d-dollar's worth." "What do you
want to know." " 1 want to know where
I've b-b-been this three d-days."
A similar want is felt by the Democra
cy ; but it reaohes back to a number of
years. It is distressed, also, to know
where it is going to be. Ever since it
fell in with secession company, and got
intoxicated with sympathy for the rebel
lion, its sober and honest friends have
forsaken it. It has in a measure aroused
from its debauch, and is endeavoring to
collect its bewildered w its, and to wonder
where it has been. It has a recollection
of having been at Chicago Jast summer,
and a dreamy impression of some kind of
a shock in Xho fall, and of another in the
spring, which fairly waked it up. Since
then, not knowing where it has been, nor
where it is to be, it has been edgiug up to
one and another of its old friends, but
they all shy off from it. They don't be
lieve in mill-stone necklaces. We re
spectfully advise a small investment in
intelligence. Mr. Stanton, jor some other
reliable old Democrat, might give it grat
is, if respectfully applied to.— Pittsburgh
Ct>mairr.itil.
' STIOKIXO TO JEFF. —The correct
ness of the report of the meeting
held in New York by the friends of
Jeff. Dvis, is denied. We are not
surprised. Even if the proceedings
were correctly reported, n .thing
would be more in keeping with tlie
purpose of the gentlemen than a
plump denial. But a meeting was
held. That is not denied. It is
creditable than otherwise that f .here |
should be this exhib'tion of fidelity
to the head traitor by a small band
of followers. Nothing could be more
proper than that they should resolve
to see him decently hanged. Weare
sure no just minded man will be dis
posed to dony them this poor privil
ege. We hope they will carry out
tiie resolution. The South has for
saken him, and his New York follow
ers who at every stage of the war
rendered the rebellion such import
ant service, owe it to themselves that
they stand by their fallen chief to |
the end—of a rop'>.
LATE MEXICAN NEWS. —Late ad
vices from Matamoras and Browns
ville deny the statement tbat Gen.
Brown had sent Federal troops across
the I>io Grande to aid the Republic
ans of Mexico against the Imperial
ists. The relations existing between
our troops and the Imperialists were
most amicable. The indications are
that on both sides strong military
establishments will be maintained. —
It is also said that some seventy
bands of rebels, among whom were
Hampton and six hundred men, re
cently crossed the river to enter the
Mexican service General Shelby
has char goof their organization.—
Gen"ral Delaportilla had arrived at
Matamoras, by order of his Govern
ment, to give exiles every facility to
settle in the country ; to give them
lands, and admit agricultural imple
tr.ents and other articles free of du
ty.
Tin; LAST TO GIVE UP T.IE COXFKD
KRACY. —The grateful act of tho Spanish
Governmept in ordering the surrender of
the rebel ram Stoinirall, and nut less the
graceful manner in which the act was
pi rformed, will long be remembered by
our people with satisfaction. England,
under Lord Russell's guidance, might
profit by the example of Her Catholic
Majesty. Charles Lamb's excuse for
leaving the desk at an earty hour in the
afternoon was that ho came to it late in
the moruing. Probably Lord Russell's
excuse is as valid for being the last to de
sert the Confederate navy, to wit, that he
was the first to recognize.
How JEKF. DAVIS IS TREATED.—A
Tribunt correspondent says: Notwith
standing the various stories set afloat in
regard to the ill treatment of Jeff. Davis,
it is but just to the authorities to state
that he is treated with the consideration
due a noted prisoner ,of State liy the com
mandant at Fortress Monroe. No officer
has beeu has been or is stationed in his
cell. He is alloued to take frequent
walks op the ramparts, and is permitted
to choose his own food. The stories that
his. cell is guarded by a score or more of
bayonets; that in his promenade he" iB
attended by a battallion of soldiers, and
that his diet is limited to the army rations
are as ridiculous as un true. The treat
ment of Jeff. Davis is christian-like and
humane, and just such as a generous and
dignified Government can well afford to
to bestow upon one who is no longer its
enemy but its piisonor.

Written on the death of Maggie La wall, who died in Oil
City. Fa., July 17, 1806, age l 19 years, 10 mos., 22 days
In the spring-time of her days she W H cutduwn —but
blessed thought! Comforting hope! What is loss to as
is gain to her. "If we believe JOIUM died and rose
again, eten so, they also who sleep in Jesus, will God
bring with him." •
Prom earth she has gently |9tasod away,
Her weary spirit it* now at rest,
Jesus at last has called her homo
To dwell forever with the blest.
Alas ! she has gone, the good, the pure,
To happier scenos above:
None nauted her but to praise her.
None knew her but to love.
She has gone to join her sister,
And to dwell with her ah ve,
And Jesus her great Kedeeuici,
To continue in His love.
Ah! dear Maggie's gone and left us.
And her death we deeply mourn;
But 't is Jeans that bereft us,
Ho has only called her home.
Oh! cruel death; why cut hor off
In girlhood's early hour;
Why crush the noble and the good
To show thy sovereign power.
Why blanch the rose tint on the cheek.
Why dim the eye lit spark,
Why chi II the hearts warm spring ; Oh, speak !
Death loves a shining mark.
Phs sleeps i n the graveyard's quiet shade,
llor sands of lif. are run ;
Winds Hfo singing o'er her grave—
The loved, the lost, the churishod one.
But murmur not that she is gone'
Fond friends and m«th'r cease thy weeping,
£he is in that Most and happy land,
Not dead, "but only sleeping." EMMA.

By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the
undersigned, the Genatod Subscription Agent for th
sale of United States Treasury N<»te9, ofW* to the
public the third serioa of Treasnr.y Notes, bearing seven
and threp-tenths per cent, interest, per unuum, known
7*30 LOAI.
Tlieso Notes are issned under date of July 15th, 1566.
and are payable three years from that date, in currency,
or are convertible at the option of tile holder into
U. S. 5-20 Siz per cent.
GOLD-BEARING BONDb.
These bonds are now worth s handsome premium,and
are exempt, as are all the Govcrnmens Bonds, Jron*
State, (\)unty, and Municipal taxation, which adds
from one to thre p<r cent, per annum to their talue , ac
cording to the rale levied upon other property. The
interest is payable semi-annually by coupons attaciied to
each note, which may be cut off and sold to any banker.
The Interest at 7.1*0 per cent, amounts
to
One rent per ny ons 150 note.

Notes of nil denominations named will be romptly
/uriiiNhod upon receipt of subscriptions.
The notes of this Third Series are precisely similar in
form and privileges to the Seven-Thirties already sold,
excepf that the Government reserves to Itself the option
of paying interest in gold coin at 0 per cent., instead of
7 3-lOtlis in currency. will deduct the in
terest in currency up,to July 16th, at the time when
they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third series of the
Seven-Thirties will'commence on the l«t of June, and
will be made promptly and continuously after that date
The slight change made in the condifious of this
THIRD MtlllES affect* only the matter of Interest.—
The payment in gold, if made, will bo equivalent to the
currency Intercut of the higher rate.
The return to specie pay in (tits, in the event of ahich
only will the option to pay interest In Gold be avail
ed of, would so reduce and equalize prU es that pnechases
made with six per cent, in gold would be fully equal to
thoso made with seven and three-tenth* per cent, in cur
rency. This i*
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
now offered by tne Government, and' its superior ad
vantagesmake it tho
Great Popular Loan of the People.
Less than $230,000,000 of the Loan authorized l»y the
last Congress are now on the market. This amount, at
the rate at which It is being absorbed, will all be sub
scribed for within sixty days, when the notes will un
doubtedly cammand a premium, as has uniformly been
tho case on closing the subscriptions to other Loans.
In order that citizens of every town and section of
the country may be afforded facilities for taking the loan
tho National Banks, State Banks, and Private Rsnkars
throughout the country have generally agreed to receive
subscriptions at par. Subscribers will «eloct their own
agents, In whom they have confidence, and who only arr
to be responsible for thedelivery of tho notes for which
they recoivoorder*. .1 AY COOKE,
