Seir Last, }seek we presented a bill to the
County' pommtssioners for advertising the
Efdctionand.Court Proclamations during the

soVetiti:-three dollars, which is fifty dollars
toss Ahatt . mv other newspaper in the County

presented by the Democratic papers Were, we
lielioVe, 'paid in full, while that of the Amer
ican and our own were reduced to eighteen
onif Knowing that we were fairly en
titled to receive our claim in full we declined
any such pittance, and we hope the gentle
men who have control of the County's busi
ness and finances will hereafter make pres
ents to those who need them.
Wore this a matter that Concerr ed us in
dividually, we would not make it the subject
Of any remarks, but as it is an attempt to
make the business of the County subservient
to the interests of a party, we deem it a duty
tet give the matter publicity. Our reader.
have some interest in the disbursement of the
;ibia of the County, and have also a right
to be furnished with the Election and Court
Proclamations, Statements of the Finances
of the County, and all other similar publica
tions authorized by law, and that too, with
out being compelled to take certain journals
merely for the 'purpose of getting a glance
at those docurnents. e'n we expend our
labor anti materials in making them public
we have the same right to compensation
therefore as have our editorial brethren,
Whose political opinions coincide with those
of our courteous friends, the Commissioners.
The law never contemplated that official ad
vertisements and notices should be published
_for the benefit of particular persons or for
thepurpose of sustaining party organs. Their
Publication is for tho benefit of the commu
nity. They contain information of impor
tance for every citizen, and their publication
is designed to bring this information within
the reach of all who are interested. 'Here
tofore the bills fur these advertisements have
been paid to all the papers published in the
Borough, but this year a strange spirit of re
trenchment seems to have entered the minds
of our Commisiioners. We hope to be abb•
to show over , their own signatures before
another month pass( s, some items v, hick will
prove to the tax-payers of the County what
original conceptions of coonomy in the
agement of our affairs, these gentle nun
play.
The action of the Commissioners. in this
matter ii contemptible even for than. They
might have the goodness to min:member
that they were elected to transtzt the busi
ness of the County and nut for the purpitim
of dispensing patronage to their favorit , :t.
It might also occur to them from their knowl-
edge of the assessments, that the party from
whom they thus attempt to conceal all know'
edge of the affairs of the County and of the
official announcements of the times al,' plac
es of holding our courts and election:, pay
quite as much into the County Treasury 114
- -- Aloes - the. party which is the fortunate owner
of a life estate in the patronage of the Com
missioners' office.. We also take the liberty
v' suggesting to them that the saute party
contributes' quite freely to the payment of
the salaries of some gentlemen who,e prin
cipal services consist in genteel besting. By
what right then lire they A - eluded from all
'tr. , nowledge of the business of the County nr
forced to pay for the information that is fur
niched to the Democracy at the public es
pense.
We are ini,rmed teat our affable and lib
eral minded gUZLrd la of the County's inter
est assert that Iltcy bi:% - c only authority to
pay these advertisemerts in Iwo newspapers.
We are riot informed whether or not they
claim that they arc authorized to publish
them only in Democratic journals—but we
shouldn'Avonder they did. This appears to
be their intention and we believe these gen
tlemen quite as frequently gratify their feel
.mgs and prejudices as they do their sense of
duty and right. If we thought they desired
dight•on this point we would refer them to the
set of Assembly which authorizes publication
in one or snore newspapers of the the coun
ty." Pardon 372-19. Possibly, however,
our friends do not regard this as authority be
yond the range of their own party.
To what may strictly be called the patron
:ago of the office we make no claim whatever.
;VVe do not expect it, nor do we need it or
desire it. Whatever advertising or printing
may be done for the County that does not
necessarily interest the entire community we
ate perfectly willing that it shall be given
icrtheparty in power. "But tho publishing
of ProclaMations, &c., intended to roach
every Man in the community and in which
all are interested, only in papers of a single
party, is unwarranted by law, reason or pre
cedent, and we protest against any such a
buse of power on the part`of those to whom
-the businns affairs of the:County are entrust
. .
We shall continue to publish all Court and
44oetion Proclamations, Financial State
. Monts and all other official documents that
are orderieial interest. Wo • don't expect

Honor to whom _Honor is Due
The Congress of 'the 'United States hat
'done honor to itself by creating the rank of
Vice Admiral in the navy, and the 1 5 1.6h:tent
:has only been the instrument to. carry Out
,the wishes of the people by norniii . atii* to
that high position Bear Admiral Farritgut.
The new Vice Admiral has fairly won' the
bright laurels he now so modestly wears. He
has served his country honorably and well
for nearly if not quite a half century. ' Since
the breaking out or the war he has been ex
ceedingly active. By his skill andintrepid
ity he fairly won the victory of New Orleons.
The valor of the noble sailors under hig'tom
! mend was not to be daunted by the tornado
of shot and shell rained on them from the
rebel forts and batteries, and were undis
mayed by the " fire rafts" with which they .
sought to burn our fleet. Otillailtly shay
pressed on and Noi' drlban4 was won. At
Mobile the g;orious old "Sea dog . ' lashed
himself to the mast and directed tho move
ments of the fleet in person, and fearlessly
ran by Fort Morgan. Such valor as he dis
played on that occasion could not fail to gain
for him the high position ho now so well
adorns. His bravery, courage aid skill
have never been surpassed by ar y naval offi
cer in Europe or America, and the people of
New York have resolved to give him a sub
stantial proof of their appreciation of his
meritorious acrvicmi, in the shape of a pros
mia of ono hundred-thousand dollars! All
hoer to the noble old sailor. His declining
years will be rendered happy by this sub
stantial token, and he can but feel that the
American people are generous to their noble
naval chamt ion. He has nobly won his
laurels—may he wear them long.
Parties as Witnesses
Congress very quietly 'introduced a legal
reform into a law, passed in .July last, which
will work a wonderful change in the busi
ness of the Federal Courts. Hitherto the
United States were governed by the local
laws in relation to the manner in which evi
dence might be received. For instance, in
the Smithery States a negro . could not be a
witness by State laws, and therefore he was
not admitted to testify in the - United States
Courts. This was the principal evil which
demanded reform, and a provision was there
fore introduced into an act of Congress that
"in the United States Courts no witness
should be excluded upon ticistimt of Ilk Od
er; ' pro' which 11
object of the law, was added, " zittr in eix it
actions because he is a party to or interested
in the issue tried." Si' those row word. , a
very ancient principle of the common law is
swept away. In England this change is of
several years . existence. ew York the
reform was made some years an d it h a ,
not been found to be injurious to justice.
Tilt re are many mysterit . in law-suits which
might be Fatisfact ,, rily explained by the par
ties, and which no evidence by third per
sons, whom they can bring forward, will
clear up. As both partdes have a right to
be examined, there Call be 1.10 ads outage ta
ken of either. If falsehood is attempted by
one, the other can refute it ; and where there
is oath against oath, the weight of the evi
dence by unbiassed ait mosses will settle the
Mai
MEIN
The Stet's Courts are not permit
tied to allow this pi ivileV to the parties in
in criminal proceeding":, Lot it is 'sore
gentiy required in sue h case". than in eivil
suits. The party injured in a Criminal pros
ecution•iii generally a villnims; and as the
United States are the nominal complainants,
is held, by a fiction of the law, that he has
no nacre'', in the matter. In fact, the pros
ecutor is usually the only interested with,
Ms testimony is taken, while that of the
Ant Om; assuring a very im
port.int ailyantrgo to the firmer. In civilly
proceedings all parties are heiird, and, in
the majority of e:l 4- .3, the iiiki4Sti.2ll,
the plaintilfs and defendants pro"tin
the whole controy4. , r,y without a necessity of
railing corroborative l'N Th,re
CI has been any complaint against equity
praiti,•o npon that aceuunt. Why shouthl
there h if a similar rule were: 'nude fur the
of actions at law ?
Attempts have hitherto berm made in the
I.ygislatury of Pennsylvania to introduce
this reform ioto our system. They Lave
been diifi ated. however, by the prejudices of
a portion of the members, aided by the ar
guments of some among them who have pos
sessed political influence among their col
leagues. We hope that the next Legisla
ture will be more liberal. There can by no
good reason against the change, and there
are very many in its favor.
TAE PACIFIC RAILROAD
The cunipletion and opening of the Utii.m
Pacific Railroad from Banda, City, Mo., to
the town of Lawrence, Ka uses, is an event
which in ordinary thries,•ivould be deemed of
prime importance ; but the exciting occur
rences incident to the war have eclipsed all
else. It seems hard to realize that but a few
months ago this region was the scene of
some of the most furious struggles of this
campaign. But war has surged all around
this district without arresting the progress of
the great continental highway,. A popular
necessity presses onward this enterprise.
Had it not been for the determined exertions
of the free States to colonize the State of
Kansas with hardy and industrious free State
settlers, the building of this railway would
have made no more progress there than have
the parallel lines through Nebraska and oth
er territories,
This line has .a long distance to traverse
yet before it reaches Colorado territory; and
the great problem, the most difficult of all,
how to build and operate a railroad across
the great desert, remains yet to be approach
ed. Still the opening of this first, link to
Lawrence is a cheering evidence of" the ear
nestness of the men . engaged in the undeiL
taking, and a stimulant to still greater exer
tion. This railroad will facilitate the settle.
ment of the interior of Kansas, and carry the
frontiers westward rapidly. The starting
point for the overland emigration trains will,
of course, be transferred westward with the
progress of .the railroad, and we shall soon see
Lawrence becoming an important. dopot for
the outfit of emigrants. If the railroad were
now finished-hid in operation to Lolprado,
we should sod an - immense rush to thei gold
'regions of that'torritory: Even as it' s; the

The School Lands of the State
.It,Will be remembered that Congress set
apart adarge portion. of the public domaitti
to be apportioned among the several Ptetes
with the object of promoting the edneattOii
of farmers in seientifle : as well as a practi
cal knowledge of agriculture. LaSt winter
a great contest was had among the represen:
tatives of the different institutions of learn
ing as to which was entitled to a share or the
whol6 of 'this land. Without referring to
the merits of the arguments advanced in sup
port of these chilies, we aro constrained to
notice the fact that great cooiplaitit exists
throughout the Commonvii:alth as to the
manner of disposing of these lands. We
deem it only fair that we should give a heM;-
ing to the moot prominent journal among:
those alluding to this subject. The PittS2
burg Gazette thus emphatically refers to this_
transaction :
Congress, our readers are aware, some
time since donated nearly 800,00.) acres of
land to this State, to be devoted to the es
tablishment crone or more Colleges for the
education of the people, with an agricultural
department; and the Governor, the Sur
veyor General and tho Auditor General, by
an act of the legislature, were appointed a
committee, and invested with power to re
ceive the nunaiticettt gift. A clause in this
act empowered thew to sell any of them:land
warrants, if found advantageous, and the in
terest Of the money (it having been invested
in State or United States securities) paid
over, for the time bein to the Farm School
in Centre mealy.
Last winter, none of the land having been
sold, and there being a grunt many projects:,
before the legislature for the permanent dis
tribution of the fund which, if the land
were sold, would amount to near a million
of dollars—a bill was introduced into the
Senate. and passed there in Committee of
the Whole, ordering that none of the land
should be disposed ;if until further legisla
tion. The bill, owing to factious opposition
at the close of the session, did 11 , 11 ;
all the votes taken indicated unmistakably
the desire that no sudden distribution or sale
should be made of the houl, but that it should
all remain in 3(atit quo until the nesting of
this winter
Notwithstanding this. advertisements were
obscurely inserted a few weeks since, in one
or two papers only, stating that bids would
be received for these lands, and we I :ern
that barely three or bor bias were pot in,
the expectation lunong the knowing ttlli.s be
ing that. they wo u ld" have been opened and
the whole awarded on the 2d i •staot. For
tunately, the sickness of the Auditor Gener
al prevented the accomplishment of the ob
jiiet evidently intended—the sale of these
lands nt n I n n' ligure to harpies who famied
they had elmneed on a good thing . .
An effort now making among the 1111.111-

In the Rebel Senate, in the discussion of
the currency bill, the following melancholy
pieture'ulthe failing fortunes - cif the Confed
oraey was drawn by Mr. Foote, in withdraw
ing from that body :
lie said that in making this last effort to
sustain utir sinking currency, and to supply
the sinciVs of War fu our bitteding and sutler
mg country, he had / experienced feelings of
anguish and chagrin 'whittli he had nev •
been conscious of before. Ile saw much
ground fur despondency and apprehension
In every quarter: ti tins financial bill, said
he, is detected in the two louses of Con
gress—so admirably digested rte it is—so im
posingly avouched and sustained as it is --
shall utterly despair of our cause. The
character of the exponents resorted to fur
its defeat . are univise„ unbecoming, unpatri
otic, and not :dud in harmony with the in
trinsic dignity of this great 'Struggle for in
dependence and freedom. I confidently be
lieve that if this bill shall become a law our
currency will be reformed, our whole finan
cial System will be solidified and made ETU
eivnt for all the purposes of the pending weir,
our armies Will he supplied with all things
needful fur their comfortable subsistence and
enabled to meet with success the invading
host now threatening us with ruin. If this
measure shall he defeated, 1 shall regard the
war as virtually ut an end ; and all the gen
erous hopes of our patriotic and much-silt . -
feringi eountrytnen as cruelly and criminally
blasted. The honorable.zelitlemen suppose
it is safe at this perilous inoment to indulge
in vain and visionary experiments upon the
currency. It' they regard the present as a
suitable time fur the utterance of such lan.
gunge as we have heard ut this hall in the
I ot Brig-eight hours, looking manifestly to
the who)esale repudiation of cdl our present
currency, then do 1 differ from them eeSell
daily, Sir. I beseech honorable gentlemen,
on this last occasion, perhaps, that I shall
have the honor of addressing this 'louse, to
look with me upon tne present condition of
the country before they resolve to withhold
their support from this measure. What is
our situation'.' Let us look danger in the
face, anti provide for it while it is possible
to do so. Sir, we are upon the verge of
ruin. Our tinanchil affairs are most serious
ly disordered abroad, owing to the most
criminal mismanagiamint of every kind.--
No respectful ( . I.tl,l,l,ration has been yet fie
corded hereafter. At home it series of leg
islative measures have found sanction here
which must be inevitably fatal to State
rights and State sovereignty and to popular
freedom, it' not speedily modified. Congress
is rapidly abandoning all its important pow

despotism, the like of which has never been

South Carolina
Wo learn rrem an officer of Gen. Sherman':
army that the soldiers of that army aro in
tensely anxious to be' led into South Carolina
They are eager beyond measure to tat he t
prornonudo through Ow Rattle:make ;State
Wo do not wondor at it.
The lire-eating rebels of South Carolina
have for a long time been hurling scorn and
didianco,,lireathipg, out, threatenings and
slaughter, Inaking ftlees and grimaces at the
people rifuthe North. Thrir tnsalcmce towa'rd
us has been .tt thousand times greater than
that of all other rebels. Their contempt for
us has been too prlo,und thy measurement -
their hatred. andTerocity too intense fur ex
pression. The mouthing's of their orators.,
the ranting of their press, the measures and
resolqions of their Legislatures, the procla
_,lnati,ws of their Governors,'have each ex
ceeded die wild extravagance_abou
the
,people of the North. It was South Car,
Mina that incited and forced the Southern
States to disunion; it was South Carolina
Wilt passed the first ordinance of itecesittri:
it wits South „Carolina that began the war.
It is riot unnatural that the many of Sher

,has just marched conquering through G,, 11 ..

•• The President has called for 4110,Ittx1

The 15th of Febuary, ISIIS, has been fixol
upturits the day of draft. your quotas
are not tilled by volunteers by that time the
delleiency will most certainly be mode up by
draft. Ward and Township Committees
are earnestly invited to commence work at
once. The longer you delay the moredifficult
will b e your la-lc. The attention of theceCom
mittees are also invited to the ntraessity and
.propriety of delivering up to the District
Provost Marshals all delinquents from for
mer drafts. It is impoJ•sible for the r nited
authorities to find these mon, secreted
as they ore by their friends and by persons
hostile to the government. Committees,
United States, State and county officers, and
all good citizens are requested to arrest these
Men, arid deliver theft to the Provost Mar
shalls. Every man so arrested and put into
service by the Board of Enrollment counts
one towards fulling your quota. informa
tion, by letter or otherwise, furnished to
District Provost Marshals of the whereabouts
of these delincjimnts will be thankfully re
ceived and priorapily ..11eted 1.11)011.
Provost Marshals will cause lists of delin
quents from all former drafts to he made
and distributed, to the end that all so dis
posed may understandingly assist in forcing
these delinquents to perform their duty to
their country aad io r own people. Bring
in all your aelinquents; exert yourselves to
put in volunteers, and the necessity of a
draft will be avoided. Our armies and na
vies are everywhere victorioHls. ThAt dawn
of peace is at hand. Ono 'powerful bl o w

Let us all, in our seven td quiptuitie6, and as

SILOSTING OF .A..PESERTER.—On Sat ,
urday evening last W. T. Vannsdlen, ado-'
sorter from the U. S. Service who has for a
considerable time been -making his head
quarters in the neighborhood of Centreville,
was shot dead while attempting to escape
from his captors, the three Rupert brothers.
The arrest was made in the town of Centre
ville, Howard Rupert grasping Vanasdlon
by thecollar a scuffle ensued which result
ed in Vanitsdh3n's tearing loose and running
rapidly away- .Howard Rupert called to
him to stop 'or he would short him, the
only notice Vanasdlon took of thiS warning
- Was.to put his hand up to his breast pocket,
apparently in the act of drawing his pistol.
Shortly after this, and when the distada lJd
twecn pursuer and pursued was about twen
ty paces, Howard Rupert fired, the ball
striking Vanasdlon in the back, about mi
inch from the spine, passing through thebodY
and making its exit through the right breast.
The Rupert brothers assisted Vannsdien to
his home which was but n short distance
from the scene of this deplorable affair, and
sent for a surgeon. Dr. Tate, after examing
the wound said it was a severe but not ne
cessarily dangerous wound. Arrangements
were then redo to convey the prisoner to
town but before they were completed Oft)
wounded man was discovered to be r. pidly
sinking from loss of blood, occasioned by in
ternnl hemorrhage and before an hour he
was a corpse.
J 1 r. Rupert immediately reported the, facts
in Carlisle, arid an inquest was at once con
vened— the jury bringing in a verdict in ac
cordance with the above detailed facts. n -
fo rin tit i4,n was, lodged with a Justice and the
three ItupertsarreAtid and held to await a
hearing.
Vanasillen was notorious throughout the
country as an old offender—having deserted
three times—and !succeeding including the
vigifenceofthoseanthurizedtoarresthim. Ho
was a desperate character and threatened
lifeiif any one attempting to arrest hilt'.
Mr. Rupert was fully authorized by Capt.
R. 11. Henderson, Provost Marshal and Jno.
Early' special agent, to arrest Vanasdlen, and
i n the fulfillment of that duty which every
good eiti zen, ought fn observe—no blame can
pussilily be attached to him.
ANOTHER DESERTER SHOT.-A par
ty of ten recruits escaped from Carlisle Bar
racks on - Wednesday night last. They were
pursued by the guards who succeeded irk cap
turiug uric 11f1 , 1 0100611 - another. We have
heard that the wounded nit has since died
of his injuries.
