THI JOURNAL. Coudersport. Pa. Wednesday, Feb. 25,18 M. W. McALARNEY, ' The War. The old Democratic organ of Lyconing county has.the following forcible and Sen oible remarks, worthy of ,consideration by all who cherish that name : "We from the ;first threat bfl hellion-.to this -day, advocated • the- np stringent upessures.against the Rebels,a Shall'acntintie to do so - until them hellion is oblitetated., We have _always Maintained that'this rebellion' shalt be uf vetigeance that lbad 'Men hcieafter will tremble at'thel)iiir . thought of fomenting another. •There can beim lasting peace until , ' the'rebelllous states return to their old'positlon inithe Union, or are forced into , it. And if,, in their,madness, they persistently refuge to return 'to their allegiance, then we' go se fa; to -maintain that the 'Government should subjugate them,and'hold th'eM in that condhion until good sense\ rettirtis to them.

Its population, during the past season has been increased by several thousand immigrants, its southern settlements strengthened, cotton is to be grown, machinery has been .tm• ported especially for manufacturing wool, and. there is every reason for encourage ment as to future prospects. The Rebel sympathizers met at Frank fort, Ky, on the 18th inst.,. for the pur pose of making nominations for the Au gust election. The House of Repre sentatives denied them the use of their Hall, and they asseinbled io a theatre. Col. 'Gilbert, knowing their treasonable designs, dispersed the meeting: NEWS 'ITEMS. We have Rebel. authority for expect ing an immediate assault upon Charleston and, §avatioali.- ,Beauregaid issued la proclamation s iarning away all ' non-com hat'ttnfs, and', calling upon every able-bed led man tift - rush to the ranks. • ' his Call, is not! in the boasting lone for which he is noted, from which we may infer that he is pot very confident of success. The Rebel: troops and people are said to be calve and confident. TLe Copperheads have wasted much breath in circulating the falsehood tlaat the freed slaves employed by the Gov ernment at Port Royal , are worthless and a vast.expense to the country---that white men are taxed : to support lazy niggers, &c. Official,- information having been called fOr bY.Congress, the .Secretary, , or the Treasiry, replies that there as been expended for agricultural - implements $77,081; for the purchase of the schoon er Flora, 831,350; for white labor, $B2 ; 748 ;ifor colored labor, $34,527.. Total expenses, $225,705. -From this expen diture,has,been realized $726,984.• De. ducting the above expenses, there re mains on hand:from this fun $501,279. TheJ-Secretary says that no expenditttre whatever has been made from the Treas ury on account of the cultivation, of the plantations or_ the collection of cotton, or the educational or benevolent care of the laborers. The rations furnished, by the War , Department were paid .for by the use-of the Flora. • More than half a ,mill ion , of dollars was saved by.these opera.; Lions; and is in the hands of the Assist ant Treasurer at New York. est nd While every schooner captured by the Confederate pirates offers occasion for a small panic in the newspapers, we are apt-to fmget tliat Something has been and is being done - 013 "the other side. An of ficial report just made reveals the fact that already _llB prize cases have been decided, the amount of sales footino• ° up over 82,000,000, of which about 80 per cent is to be divided. There have been in 'all over 360 vessels taken ; 35 steam. thips, 6 ships. 13 brir , s, 224 schooners, 22 sloops, 15 barks and 52 smnllcr boats. In compliance with official call, a let ter of Lieut.:Gen. : Scott, dated Oct. 18, 1861, has been sent to Congress. At that ,time, the writer was General-in- Chief, and George B. McClellan com manded the Army of the Potomac.— Gem !Scott complains of McClellan's a. sutopdination, and begs the Secretnry of War ! to put a stop to it. All McClellan's dispatches will soon be , sent to Congress, and probably will be printed in full.. The ;story is .current in Washington that - the Illinois Legislature -backed out of th'eir scheme for wresting the •roilitary power of thi State from Gov, rates and sending peace delegates to Jeff. Davis, by the advice of Gov. Seymour of New York, who sent word that the Western Copperheads were carrying too much steam, thereby injuring the prospects of the party in the East. The Alabama has captured, robbed, cod burned the brig Chastelaine of Bos ton, and the bark Golden Rule of New Ytirli. The cut-throat stole $:800 in gold from H the first named vessel. I• • Admiral Porter reports that the Rebel • steamer Vicksburg was so much darnaced by itim Queen of tlToWest that she is kept afloat by barges, and her machinery has been, taken out. , It is reported that the Legislature of Mississippi has made it a penal offense to sett ,cotton in that State except to the Cenfederate Government. Maj.-Gen. Butleiliad a'grand reception at the Maryland Institute Hall, Balti more. He made one of hirvigorous and natriotio speeches. !Richmond papers say that there has been no intention nor pretense of inten thin by France to mediate between the North and the South. The officers of the 14th New Hamp shire Regiment hate sent home an ear nest appeal for the maintenance of the Governuient. They say that. Northern syrupathy with'Sec.ession is the cause of more discouragement than all the lost battles ,and fruitless campaigns of the war. . "gARROW ESCAPE OF THE HON. JOSH tannucas.—About 2 o'olock on the; morning of the 14th inst., a fire broke out' in St. Lawrence Ball, Montreat-- The lion. Joshua R. Giddings, American c or i,sul General, occupied apartments in that portion of the building near the fire, and th ot :gh awakened as quickly as pos sible, before he could escape, became in seneible from the effects of the vapor and smoke, and WNSI carried fur safety to an otlibr part of the hotel. Subsequently he fully recovered from the effects of the vapor. Some servants, however, in the same part of the hotel suffered'very se ver'ely, and 'one of theu: died in conse quence. The books and papers of the Atherican Consu!ate escaped uninjured. There are signs of returning sanity among the Rebels, on the matter of retal iation. The Virginia Legislature, it is said, will repudiate drunken Letoher's foolish attempt in that way, - on the ciovr uud that the disposition of prisoners of war belongs exclusively to the Confed erate Government. It is also deemed certain that the Confederate Congress will disoeuntenancoi the efforts of Jeff. Davie inait i gurating wholesale murder. The western rivers are very high, and some of the cotton lands are overflowed. Coact Proceedings. _ The .Constables appeared and were Auly - Abbott—Charle's Kreindall. Allegany—rßobert H. Peet.

Sheriff Ltirabee deserves the thanks of all who attend Court for his energy in supplying the Court room with a much needed carpet.. • Ex-Sheriff Burt, who some weeks since was sent after Win. Woodard alias Wen. Jen kins, by his bail, Lemuel Sherman, of Pike . township, followed him into a county in New York above Buffalo, but from there he escaped into Ohio. The Sheriff . found him in Ashta bula county, but upon attempting to take him from that State into Pennsylvania was set upon by a party of scoundrels who forced his release. The Sheriff escaped uninjured from this Rebel party. A refugee from Richmond says that the Merrimac No. 2 was at Fort Darling latter end of January, having a lighter at. each side of her, owing to her top-heavi nesg. She carries four guns, but is pierced for eight. Gem Longstreet's Di vision passed through Richmond several weeks ago for the South and South-West, and large numbers beside of the army of the Rappahannock have followed. The Rebels have Vicksburg dispatches to the 14th inst. They report that the Union forces are preparing to throw DOD toon bridges across the Mississippi ! They also state that a Union gunboat ran, past the batteries on the , night of the 13th.— She was fired upon, but not hit. By the steamship McClellan we have New orleans dates to the 11th inst. We do not find any remarkably important pointi in the news. The Lielta is Said to have been .suppressed. A small settlement called Bolivar Landing, 50 miles above Memphis, has been destroyed by the gunboat Conestoga, in retaliation for guerrilla attacks upon the steamer Jenny-Lind. Vicksburg papers of the 9th state that• the river is overflowing on the Louisiana side. ' The town of Do Soto, opposite Vicksburg, will soon be under water. Passage of the Ranking Bill. We congratulate the loyal Millions'ou the passage yesterday in the House, by the strong vote of 77 Yeas to 64 Nays, of the bill to establish a National system of Banking, based on deposits of Federal Securities. The bill passed exactly as it came from the Senate, so 'that it will not have to go back save for enrollment and signature, while the President's approval is no wise doubtful. A few days morel' at furthest will see this bill a law of the land. Good and true men voted against it, for reasons doubtless conclusive to their minds; while not, one single sympathizer with the Slaveholders' Rebellion failed to record his vote in the negative. Nor could aught else have been expected of them : for this is a War meadfire, design: ed to invigorate and fortify the Public Credit and resist the fearful tendency, through. currency debasement and dete rioration, to general collapse'and paraly sis. We could not expect for it the votes any why of hope or desire to see the Na. tional flag drooping beFow that of the Re=; hellion. tiirThe New York Eveningl'o,st,sqg guts that the French ertiedition for:this conquest of Mexico presenti'vesc4eArr the interposition of foreigrl2,'nationi;.iad that~. -our, government shoulaj proffer its services to the taperer Whelp him out of his dii~culties rt. ought to be ,dOne A ogee, pw -- krouOds , : of ILO inanity Aid - - to stop the useless effusion of blood: France has undertaken a task which - she : can-not complete, or which she will be, able . to complete only at a fearful sacrifitsc of life and treasure.

With how much more pro priety may'we commend the same con siderations to those who are proseputing the War in, Mexico. xtm.The Annual Report of .the State Soperintindent for the school year ending Juno; 2d,11862, shows .the • educational interests of the State to be in a condition far more flourishing than could have been expected, considering the distracting cir cumstances under which our country has been laboring for nearly two years' past. During the past year the number of school districts has increased 20; Schools, 75. Thole has been a decrease in male teach ers of 562, an increase in female teachers of 645. This change is oivirtg in; a, very great' measure to the fact that many male teachers have volunteered in their coun try's service. The average salary of male teachers•prer month was $23.81, a reduc tion of $1:87 from 1861. 4.verage s sale ries of female teachers per month $18.55, a decrease of 81.16 from 1861. Total cost .of tuition $1,367.181,33, being a de crease bf '868,881,67, from 1861. Total cost of fuel and contingencies 8323,337, being an increase of $8,857,28 over 1861. Whole number of school houses, 11,132: Number erected during 1862, 462.1 Nam boa unfit in 1861, 2,311; in 1862;2,073, making a decrease from Ig6l, of 248. 630 additional school houses have been suitably furnis hod with black-boards,school apparatus, 'and.other schcol furniture dur ing the past year. This shows a very flattering result of the workings of our present school system, and suggests to all the citizens of our State the proptiety of placing wholly under its provisions the interests of their schools, that they may receive its , full benefits. CZY*CoI: Ross, of the 20th Regiment Counectietit Volunteers, made the pro mulgation of the Emancipation Procla mation the occasion 'for addressing his soldiers. The following paragraph will show the tenor of his speech : "What caused thiS rebellion?' I repeat—as surely. as 'the Lord liveth and reigneth forever, as surely as 'man dieth and turneth to dust;' African Sletvery was the' primary cause of this rebellion; and just so surely this rebellion• will never be crushed, or peace permanently restored, so long as that curse; shall live. There are three great epochs in the history of the! world since it has been under the controlling influence of Christian civilization;---the establishment .of Magna Charta OP-Eng land, the Declaration of the Independence of the. United States, and this Proclama tion of Emancip . ntion of Abrabam-Lincoln; by which millions of human beings are restored to their God-given birthright.!' • ANontErt BIRD—The Atuericad,Eagle is about to take under its wings another chicken of the Union. A bill has passed the HousC of Representatives to organize a new territory called Montana. This territory is proposed to comprise al large western part of what is now known as the Territory of Nebraska. It includes the Saloon .B.verl gold mines and contains about eleven thdusand people; mostly miners. A steamboat is' being built on the Missonri River, above Fort Benton, to navigate that river above the' falls'. This. with give water navigation to-within about sixty or ,seventy mies of the eastern mines. The new Territory will , have 170,780 square miles. • gErNeW Orleans must be the paradite Of topers. wilt) bad been getting "glorious" a few days since, described the effects 'of 'the generous beverage as fol. lows.: "Why, I drank a glass of brandy the. ether,' night, and in less than five Mintites there was electricity enough in my system to have eupplied ail the:tele graph batteries of the world. indeed, I was so deluded frOM its effects that , I pielted• my ''own pockets, confounded •ah awning pest With a Watchnimi, • an'd- sup posed myself to be.Ben.Frauklin or 'Jacob Barker."

The resolution was referred toir the Committeenn Commeres.
