My Dear WiJe

1t seems there is no end yet to the disasters at,
tending our arms 1t is known here that Fort
Donelson is taken and portion of our forces
but the papers of o.morrow viii give you better
information than have now. 1t is really very
sad and we shall be hardly pressed to hold our 9th
er positions.
Indeed it may be that we shall have TO abandon
all our strongholds that we now hold, to concen-
trate our army. l think we can hold Manassas,
but may be forced to fall back even there to de-
fend some other point This is only my own spec.
ulaton written under the influence of very depress-
ing news and in q few days we may have gained
victories that will restore our status. But [ feel
bound to express my sentiments freely to you. /
do not want you at Bentsville if our army has to
fall back from Centreville. l want you to go to
Lynchburg and stay there l think that safe
place. But will talk over thi, matter more in
detail when see you, and l only write now that
you might hold yourselves in readiness and not be
taken by surprise. | have no sort of information
on the subject that you have not am only spec,
ulating the bad aspect our affairs have assum-
ed. ..r
saw Congress organized to-day all seemed Ie-
solved to conquer our independence at any haz-
ard. Many persons are arriving in the city TO
witness the inauguration on Saturday, but for the
sad news it would be grand day but we must
keep our courage up; times are not halt so gloomy
as they were many times during thereyolution.
Mrs. Goode is here, and enquired particularly
after you The Hotel is so crowded that there isl
not much comfort here. ! much prefer being in
camp.

sadly about affairs but could not avoid express

Distressing Suicide.

A most sad incident occurred in Frederick,
Md. on Monday night, in the death by sui
eide, of Miss Medessa Wise, aged Is, the be.
trothed bride of the young soldier, Dennis
Stull who died from wounds received on the
battle field in defence of the STARS and
Stripes" Miss Wise, it seems, while visit
ing at friends house on Monday evening
was observed to swallow draught of lauda-
mum, from two ounce vial but when spoken
to about it, treated the subject with unconcern,
remarking that she felt uAwell and took it as
a remedy. She then went to her home at
Mr.. James I. Smiths residence in E. Church
Street. and retired to rest. Tuesday morning
she was found dead, her person decently
composed and the trace of a gratifed smile
lingering on her face. 1t seems, that at the
funeral of her lover, she placed her likeness
under his head, and remarked that she would
not long survive him, and when her own death
was discovered, the photograph of her betroth-
ed was found under her head, signifying the
wish that it should be inferred with her re.
mains. This is a sad episode of the unnatu-
raj war which is devastating the land and has
added another fair victim TO the broken.
hearted train, sacrificed at the shrine of Trea.

Candidate for Auditor General.

Our cotemporaries continue to furnish
unmistakeable evidence that Mr.. Cochran
will be nominated without opposition:
A number of our exchanges are advocating
the denomination of Thomas f. Cochran,
ESQ, as Auditor General The position has
never been more worthily filled than by Mr..
Cochran, and if spotless integrity, eminent
fitness, and faithful and honest discharge
of his duties. entitle any one to re nomna-
ton, certainly he is the man. We hold that
the Republican party will do more honor to
itaelf than TO Mr.. Cochran, by insisting On
his acceptance Of the Office for another term.
Somerset Herald
Auditor GeReral-We trust that when the
Peoples State Convention assemblies in july,
that body will renominate Hon. Thomas T..
Cochran for Auditor General. Mr.. Cochran
is man of incorruptible integrity, and has
discharged the duties of his Office, which have
been very onerous during the last year, with
credit to himself and advantage to the State.
Of the large number of accounts which had
to pass through the Auditor Generals Office
for adjustment and allowance, no one recei-
we'd his endorsement until, after a scrutinizing
examination, he was satisfied that it was cor.
rect. The people of Pennsylvania had in him
a faithful servant, and they should exhibit
their appreciation of real worth by re-nomi.
mating and re-eleeting him to the position he
now occupies.-Rattsma's' Journal, Clear
field.
sarIf we may judge from the tone and
preference as indicated in the columns of the
Republican press throughout Pennsylvania,
Hon Thomas E. Cochran, Auditor General
of the State, has at least now the appreciation
of the party which placed him in positiUn.-
Our Republican exchanges unite in acknow.
lodging the eminent services of the Auditor
General at this time, while there seems to be
no difference as to the justice and necessity
of his denomination. We have no preference
so far as we are professionally concerned, yet
we would be unmindful Of what is due to
fearless and honest public officer, if we hesi-
taxed to accord to Auditor General Cochran
all that is so literally conceded to him by
our cotemporaries of the Republican press
His untiring devotion to the public interest
his unfailing watchfulness of the public mon
les, and his strict integrity, all combine to
render him truly one Of the most efficient
Auditors that has ever attempted to audit an
account, and one Of the most reliable men
that has ever been entrusted with the public
credit-HayriSburg Telegraph.

na-A year ago the blood Of Union SOL
diers stained the stones of Baltimore, and
the guns of the Union fort were loaded
and primed for its destruction. Union re-
fugees were all over the North, and Seces-
ionism held its saturnalia. Those who
mixed the poison then are drinking it now
and the murderers of Union soldiers in
1861, are flying from the vengeance of Tn
ion fellow citizens of 1862. The cause Of
all this is that on Sunday last the tories
there-the allies of the address published
in the Lewistown Democrat of last week
as democratic" who are to aid in restor-
ing the Union as it was, i e. niggers every
where-openly expressed their qualification
that the gallant Col. Kenley and his regi-
ment had been cut up, many of them
butchered in cold blood, and the fathers,
sons and relatives of those in that immor-
tai band, rose up and knocked these scoun-
drels right and left. Good for Baltimore. !.
1t is some amends for the butchery of last
year, and if the "mob" will only take ropes
and string up few dozen whom the gov
ernment ought to have tried and hung long
ago, we'll bet a hat that the Old Logan
Boys will give three cheers for the Union
men of Baltimore, and forgive the insults,
taunts, curses, abuse, and stones and other
missiles hurled at them in April of last
year

On the 10th inst, TUEODOSIA, daughter

months and days.
1t is seldom that we are called upon to
chronicle the death of a more lovely and af.
fectlOnate child than the one whose name
forms this obituary. OF her it can be truly
said that mo one knew her but to love her"
In all her intercourse within the family circle,
at school, or wherever she was, the same
endearing traits of character always nantes
ted themselves in a prominent degree, and
drew from all their warmest affections. But
she has gone TO q CLINE far more eongenial
with her angelic spirit, to rest in her Sayour's
bosom. Then let the bereaved parents be
comtorted with the assurance that although
their family circle has been rudeiy broken
here in this world, that their gentle Theodosia
has gone TO form a part of their family in
heaven.

Important Decision.

The Army Vote Declared Unconsttta-
h'nol-Judge Woodward, Of the Supreme
Court, rendered an important decision on
Friday morning, in declaring the entire
Army Vote, cast at the last election, un-
constitutional. The following cases were

rendered, viz:
The Commonwealth as. Joseph Kunzman.

ment affirmed.
In the case of Chase, from Luzerne county.
the army vote" is pronounced unconstitu.
tional-and decree made giving to Chase
the Office Of District Attorney. Opinion by
Woodward, Thompson dissenting.
In the first case above quoted, says the
Telegraph, in which decision is given, a
person was prosecuted in Philadelphia city
for illegal voting at the late election, while
he was in the service Of the country as a
private soldier. The defendants council
argued before the trial was had, the indict
ment should be quashed for reasons that
the whole army vote was unconstitutional.
This view Of the case was sustained by the
Judges of that court, and the Indictment
quashed. The Supreme Court sustains
this decision.
The second case came before them from
Luzerne county, in which county the can
didate for District Attorney, Mr. Chase,
who had a majority in the county but was
defeated by the army vote, took an appeal
His opponent was declared elected by the
return judges, and the judge for that dis
trict sustained that decision. The Su-
preme Court however decides the army
vote unconstitutional, and thereby declares
Mr.. Chase elected
This vote Affects no one in this county
except Mr.. Vanzant, who, according to
this decision, would be elected Auditor for
three years. Whether, however, it Gusts
officers where no contest was made as pro-
Tided by the election laws, is yet to be de-
termined. In Philadelphia it will sweep
