liquors of all kinds, and especially of German
Wines has appointed Jacob Daniels of Halfmoon
his Agent in that place, and D. M. Wagner of the
Borough of Ballefonte to sell these Wines to all
who may call upon them for sacramental and
other purposes. The Wine is the pure juice of
the grape imported from Germany and ranges
from sixteen to six years old. 1t is warrented
good and pure, and all persons wishing genuine
article of vine, should call upon Mr.. Meinhart in
Tyrone, Jacob Daniels in halfmoon, or D. NJ.
Wagner in Bellefonte. Churches and all others
wishing a pure article should call upon either of
the above named gentleman aud satisfy them-
selves as to its purity and gsnuousness.
My~We invite special atte ntion to the adver-
tsement of Prof. w od's Resto asive Cordial and
Blood Renouator, in another column. For weak
ness and generally debility there is nothing
like it, it will strengthen, exhilerate, create an
appetite at once, regulate the bilious system, aid
digestion, and in short, restore the weakened or
gans to all their original vikor and strength. So
valuable Tonic Cordial should be in the hands
of every invalid and in every family. Reader,
try it.

selves. We have watched the progress of this
Cordial since its first introduction to the public

for cleansing the system and renovating the blood,
that can be compared with Prof. Woods Cordial

instance Of hanging has as yet taken place
on either side and the Administration felt
unwilling to begin a course of policy which
might be followed on the other side.
The result OF the Inauguration OF such
policy would be the indiscriminate murder
of hundreds of prisoners in the hands of the
Rebels, including many valuable citizens,
and the enactment of scenes of horror une-
qualed by those of the French Revolution
The Admins tration, therefore, decided, as
have said, not to hang any of the pirates
But within dayor two the question has been
again raised in the Cabinet. At least one
member of that body is in favor, as he ex-
presses it, of f" discarding all squeamish nom
sense, and of hanging every Rebel found in
arms against the Government, whether taken
on the sea or land" This is undoubtedly
the course that ought to be taken, if the Gov
ernment regards this matter as simply an
insurrection." This is the view taken Of
it by President Lincoln, and be too, although
he deplores the necessity Of such dreadful
measures, is in favor of such a course as will
show to the world that we are in earnest in
this matter, and that traitors found in arms
against the Government must expect and re-
ceive traitors DOOM But the Secretary of
State Is in favor of a milder, and as he
thinks, OF wiser course of policy He ad-
mits that, by the strict rules of law, the
Southern privateersmen are pirates, and to
hang them might be justifable but, he says,
necessity has led US to disregard former con-
stitutiohal provisions, since the commence
ment of this strife In this instance the
same necessity would seem to dictate a relax
alton of the strict rule of law If we hang
these men, the Rebels will bang Mr.. Ely,
Col. Corcoran and hang Mr. Faulkner and
the prisoners at Fort Lafay ette Thus there
will be no end to horrors. To avoid this.
Mr.. Seward favors more Intent course than
he would recommend under ordinary circum-
stances. His opinion has great weight with
the President; but the matter is by no means
decided. The other members of the Cabi-
net are divided N sentiment On the subject.
Mr.. Wells sides with Mr.. Seward, and the
Secretary of War holds about the same views,
only he objects to any further release of
prisoners. as in the care of Col. Peg,am's
men. Mr. Bates and Mr. Blair both 90 for
extreme measures, regardless of consequent
ces; and Mr.. Smith eutertains the same
views Cor PhI'a Inquirer

What is to be Done with the Pi-
rates?

This question is now seriously discussed in
the Cabinet, without any definite answer
being arrived at. 1t is supposed that in the
next four weeks, our newly sent out feet
will have captured at least four hundred
Southern sailors, who according to the doc
trine enunciated by the Executive, must be
regarded as pirates and executed as SUCH
But you are aware that the subject is full of
difficulty. At the time Gen. Mcclellan took
80 many prisoners with Col. Pegram, wrote
to you that the War Department bad sent
him orders to release them ALL This order,
Of course, he obeyed. l stated at the same
time, that the Administration had decided
not to hang any of the sailors taken on board
of Southern privateers. This was true at
the time. The decision was made, not from
any feeling of clemency towards the captur-
ed sailors, but from motives Of policy. No

cause for the alarm; and we have this TO
say for ourself, that we will take the is
sues of the Ocoee Bank either at Cleve-
