~ PRIcE OF Provisions IN CHARLEsroN.-A
private letter received from Charleston, gives
this account of the prices asked for provisions
in that city. The following were the ruling
rates on the first of this month: Corn, ST.
80 per bushels -four Sc to 50 per barrel bacon
IA cents per pound hams l8 cents fresh
beef, 16 cents; veal, Is cents; fresh pork,
none; lard, Is cents butter, 40 cents !;
cheese, 81 per pound brown sugar. first quail
ity, II cents, loaf sugar Is cents. All kinds
OF vegetables are drug: an immense quantity
having been raised for the northern markets,
but foi which, OF course, there is no demand.
The war has greatly increased manufacturing,
and there is an abundance of inferior cloth
made here. But cloths of superior quality
are high, and before long will be entirely ex-
hausted. OF coal and leather there is plenty
But oil of all kinds is difficult to obtain. The
exclusive purchase by the government of the
cotton crop has, of course produced deficien-
cy in the market. The raising of cereals will
be carefully attended to, for the purpose Of
not only affordng large stock for home con-
sumption, but plentiful supply for govern
ment purposes also.

REBELS DEMoRALIzED,--A letter received
in Wheeling, from an officer in the First Vir-
ginia Regiment says that the rebel forces in
Western Virginia were totally demoralized:
1t is reported, with much truth the writer
does not say, that previous to the evacuation
of Laurel Hill desperate fight took place be-
tween the Georgians and Virginians. The
Georgians, it appears, made the rural Virgini-
ans do all the rough work, while they super
intended it. Old Virginia conldn't stand
this, Notwithstanding her zeal in the cause of
Secesh, and the result was fight. Some ff-
ty newly made graves were found on the top
of the hill. For some days previous to the
rout there was no friendly communication be-
tween the Georgians and Virginians.

/, The IMPREssMENTs IN NEW ORLEANs.-The
denial by the New Orleans Picayune of Mr..
Russell's statements in regard to the impress
ment of number of British citizens into the
Uoiunteer companies OF that city, has ELECTED
a letter from the British consul, Mr.. Mure, in
which the original charge is not only fully
confirmed, but complaints are made of addi-
tional outrages, some of which are of pecu-
liarly fragrant character. The desperate and
infamous nature of the active agents in the
present rebellion will soon be fully understood
everywhere, as the circumstances to which Mr..
Mure allndes cannot tail to arouse great indig-
nation in England.

THE PRIvATEER.-lt is well, as a writer in
the World remarks, that the success of jeff.
Davis's sea-robbers has come to light and a.
larmed the shipping interest while Congressi is
still in session. We trust that body will be
fully alive to the necessity of prompt action,
and will at once adopt what seems to be the
only measure fitted to meet the emergency.
This business admits of 10 delay. A volun-
teer navy should be Immediately extcmporz-
ed from our merchant marine. Although
merchant vessels may be unequal to cope
with regular vessels of war; they are fully ad-
equate to encounter any piratical craft which
the rebels can put afoat Their privateers
are merely merchant vessels hastily armed
with a few cannon, and our brave seamen
would be glad Of an opportunity to take care
of them if the government will give them an
opportunity. The city of New York alone
could furnish fifty vessels for this service in
five days. We hope that Congress will pass
an act authorizing the Secretary Of the Navy
to charter such number of vessels as may be
necessary to hunt down the rebel pirates, and
strengthen the blockade so as to make it more
efficient than it seems to be as yet.

q
EDITOR JOURNAL Did not the "powers
that be-" of this County, pledge themselves
that the rate OF Countyt tax should not be in
creased on account of the Court House con.
tract, and that the Orders of the County should
be kept at par? And is it true that the Coun-
ty rates have been raised, and that the Com
missioners have agreed to pay Hon. VIM. Big
Ter Nine Hundred dollars for Twelve feet
OF grounds Will you also state the usual
price of lots In your town, and the size of the
same. Those who bear the burden have a
right to know il these things be so. Please
give us what information you can, and oblige
one of MANY TAXPAYERS.
In reply to "Many Tax payers'' We would
state hrst, that twelve of the most responsible
and respectable citizens of our town, prior TO
the letting OF the new Court House contract,
entered into bond agreeing that the cost of
construction, under certain specified condi-
tions, should not exceed $4,000 to the ceun-
fy, and that sin the event of the funds of the
" county, al the present rate Of taration being
" found inadequate to meet the expenses of
L" said erection, that we (the signers) shall
" and do provide the necessary funds therefor,
" so far as they may be needed, when called
upon, aud wait for its REIN bursement, with
interest, cut OF the funds of the county, at
az the present rate of taxation. -
Secondly: The Commissioners, if we are
correctly isformed, have raised the County
rate of taxation f,co mills above what it was at
the time of Court House letting took, place.
Thirdly: We xaderstand that the Commits
soners Of our county did purchase from Ex-
Gov. Bigler strip of ground twelve feet wide,
on the side Of his Got adjoining the lot on
which the Court House stands, for Nine Hun
'ared dollars. This strip had NO improvements
upon it. 1t was nothing but the naked ground
ILof which the Commissioners paid this price.
'Lo's on that stree. are 60 feet wide, which
"ouid make the valee OF a whole lot, at that
'A'e' without improvements, to be -Four Thou
SAND Five Hundred dollars, S4,5OO.) We do
uo' believe there ever was a naked town lot in
r'earheid Borough, that would bring more
wan one-third that moRey ezea ia the most
prosperous times, much less. at the present.
We dopht whether any single lot of 60 feet,
""noat improvements or buildings on it, ever
"as actually sold here tor more than One
thousand dollars, If indeed for 70 much. The
commissioners, therefore, paid three times as
~'ea as this piece OF q lot is worth. We give
- .' above information a. reply .sMany
.,payers," because We think the people OF
county have right to know how their
n n's is spc0t, and as fair specimen Of
aie economy in Clearfield.

NEGRO INSURE ECTIoS.-A Horrible negro
insurrection was frustrated by the activity of
the Vigilance Committees of False Point, par
ish of ST. Martin, La, on the 22d ult. The
whites were to be massacred, the women vio-
lated, and the houses burnt thelinsurgents
were to increase their bard, as they advanced.
The negroes were led by an unknown white
man; he was hanged to the first tree, after
ample proof of his guilt, and six of his black
accomplices shared the same fate eleven 9TH
er negroes were sent to the Penitentary, and
the others returned to their masters after
severe correction.

THE LEGISLATIVE GUARDs.-Speaker Cap
tain Davis, commander of this company, COM
posed of lmembers of tee legislature, was in
Philadelphia when he received notice of ao-
ceptahce from the Governor. With prompt
ness that does him immortal honor, he at once
proceeded to Harrisburg to muster the Solons.
On calling the roll, nobody answered but
Rauch, Clerk of the House. Captain Davis
formed Ranch into a company and proceeded
to drill. Next day company filled canteens
and marched for Philadelphia, attending Wal
nut Street Theatre at night, by special invita-
tion. Raunch slightly sore from effects of
drill. Rest of the company in good health.
Rauch is said to declare that platoon drill is
too heavy for one man, but Captain Davis is
determined to have well drilled company,
even if it be small. Hard on Rauch, but bull
ly for Davis,

Ex-GovERSoR SrEvENs.-Ex-Gov. Stevens,
Of Washington Territory, has come to Wash
ington to tender his services to the Govern

personal and political friend of the rebels of

nlent by paying up than by his personal SER

RECLAMATION OF THE SUMTER's PRIzEs.--The
Secretary of State has made reclamation on
the Spanish Government for the surrender of
the American vessels carried into Cienfuegos
by the privateer Sumter, and no doubt is en-
tertained of their immediate release with their
cargoes, and of the prohibition OF the entrance
of the Confederate privateers into West Indian
ports hereafter. 1t is ascertainsd that the
Spanish proclamation, which has been receiv-
ed at Washington, had not, at the time, been
received in Cuba.

asked how he got his riches he replied :-ssMy y

was finished, and never to spend my money
until Lad earned it. If had but one hour 8
work in day, must do that the first thing
and in an hour, and after that was allowed to
play and 1 then could play with much more
pleasure than if had the thought of an unfin-

became perfectly easy to do so. 1t is to this

ex piration of his three months will save him the
brand of a cowardly traitor in his action, as the
excuse is given now that his time is out When
1T was known yesterday that Johnston's army had
joined Lees forces, and We had them all to con-
tend against, and Patterson was nowhere with his
column, lound and deep rang the curses of his
conduct
LATER

arrived to reinforce him, and General Mcdowell

THE LATE FRAUDs.-The Investigating
Committee, appointed by the House to ferret
out the corruptions connected with furnishing
supplies and transportation, is likely to have
any quantity of work TO do The members of
the Committee are daily receiving letters
giving information of swindles which have
been perpetrated. One man recounts wag-
swindle in Brooklyn; another gives the
details of a hat job at Cincinnati, and another
exposes some clever jobs which an Ex-mem-
Der of Congress and distinguished politi-
clan of Pennsylvania, had in the infantry line.
On motion of Mr.. Van Wyck, Chairman of
the Investigating Committee, the House a.
dopted a resolution directing the disbursing
officers not to pay any portion of the charter
money for the use or purchase of the steamer
Cataline, until the Committee report upon
the case. Those engaged in this swindle
will probably realize that ssthe way OF the
transgresSoI is hard.''
