store Of G. W. Clark, is now hospital steward
of the 124th Ohio, which at last adyiees was

the presentation from the field, staff and line
officers of the regiment, of pcrse of SIP as
an evidence of appreciation of his fidelity and
diligence. Mr.. Grauel responded in the fol-
lowing brief card :"

A BRILLIANT MOVEMENT.

A dispatch from Major General Granger
says, that the cavalry force of about 1000,
men, which he sent to East Tennessee on the
2lst December, under command of Brigadier
General P. Carter, to destroy the East Tennes-
see Railroad bridges, has returned to Man
chester, Ky. Gen. Garter telegraphs that on
the S0th he destroyed, entirely, the Uni N and
Watauga bridges and ten miles of the Rail-
road. Five hundred and fifty Rebels were
killed, wounded and taken prisoners, and sew
en- hundred stand of arms and large amount
of flour, salt and other rebe stores, also a To-
connective and two cars were captured and de-
stroyed. A brisk skrmish took place at Wa
tauga bridge and also at Jonesville. We lost
ten men in this expedition. AS character
lied by Gen. Granger, this has been one OF
the most hazardous and daring feats of the
war, attended with great :hardships and priva-
tions, owing to the almost impossible condi-
tion of the country, length of route of nearly
two hundred miles each way, and inclement
season. The important results OF this expedi-
tion can hardly be overrated, severing, as il
has, the main rebel artery of communication
between Virginia and the southwest. Gen
| Carter, his officers and men, deserve the
| thanks OF the country. Great credit is also
| due Major Gen. Granger, under whose imme-
diate supervision the expedition was fitted out
and whose long cavalry experience was guar.
| antee that nothing tending to its success wou Id
| be neglected or forgotten.
Gen. Halleck compliments Gen. Carter and
| his command for their gallant:y, and bold and
| dashing movements, and expresses the hope
| that their example will be initiated.

| route and in the manner prescribed by its
charter, is constructing a railroad OF a diner
ent character by route extending from the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Kali
road depot TO the Philadelphia and Trenton
Railroad depot, both within the city of Phila-
delphia, the Attorney General has, proceeded
against the company by gao 1arranfo Tor the
violation of its charter, and has also Fled an
information for the purpose OF restraining the
company from proceeding in the construction
of their road. Both these proceedings are now
pending.
BY the act of 29th March, 1913, it was pro-
rided that citizens absent from home IN actual
military service, might exercise their right OF
suffrage as if they were present at the usua l
places of election. This act was SUBSTANTIAL
ly re enacted in the general election law pas
sed on the I'd of July, 1889. The Supreme
Court has recently decided taat by reason OF
q phrase in the constitutional amendments of
1888, this provision has become unconstitu-
tional. Pennsy lvania has sent to the service
about two hundred thousand citizens, who, by
this decision, are distranchised. This seems
to be hard measure-that men who testify
their deyotion to the country by going to the
field should thereby lose the most inestimable
right of citizen. l recommend that the nee
essary steps be forthwith commenced to amend
the constitution, SO as to give the right of suf
trage to the citizens who are thus exclcded.
l cannot close this message without speak
ing of the unbroken loyalty and spirit OF the
freemen of Pennsylvania. They feel that on
the preservation of the Union and the suppress
sion of the most causeless and wicked rebel
lion which history records, depend the honor,
the interests and the whole future welfare of
the Commonwealth. They will never tolerate
schemes for destroying the Government of the
United States, or for forming separate Con-
federacies, or any other schemes for creating
general confusion and ruin, and aiding and
comforting .he traitors who are in arms against
their country.
This State has furnished more men for the
defence of our institutions, and has lost more
by the casualties of war, than any other State.
She has given her blood and treasure freely,
and is ready to give much more of both as
may be needful. Her people intend that by
the blessing of God, this rebellion shall be
suppressed, and will not be turned from their
settled purpose 10y the wiles OF masked enemies
or the vacillations OF feeble friends. On the
contrary, they will, Gas is their right,) insist
that competent Integrity, Earnestness, Intel
lect and Vigor shall be employed in the pub
lie service. to preserve the Governm eut, and
to maintain the unity of the country.

AVAILABLE MATTER

Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT, APPOINTMENT Or
pIoE, Jan. 3, 1S63.-Many .postmasters per
sist in sending through the mails packages of
clothing, boots, &C., charging thereon only
one cent an ounce postage. This is palpa-
BILE violation of the law and regulations with
which every postmaster should be acquainted
The packages are held for the legal postage
at the distributing office or offices of delivery
accumulating to such an extent as to be great
ly annoying to those Offices, and in a large
majority Of cases never reach the parties ad
dressed, thus causing loss to the parties sem
ding. The law and regulations clearly define
what is mailable matter, and prescribe what
amount of postage is to be charged thereon !;
and further provide that all other matters of
things, if sent by mail, are subject to letter
postage.
To prevent further loss toparties interested,
and the improper interruption of business at
the large offices, all postmasters are required to
make themselves acquainted with the laws and
regulations relating to the postal service, and
the mailing of packages hereafter of the char
acter referred to by any postmaster, with out
the proper postage being prepaid by postage
stamps, will be considered good cause for re-
moval. ALEXANDER w. RANDALL,

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

We print in this weeks Journal, Gov. Cur
tins Message to the Pennsylvania egislature.
1t is a plain and concise statement of the
affairs of the Commonwealth during the past
year. According to the Governors statement
the finances are in a much more healthy con-
ditIon, than for several years past-the State
Adm instration having been guided by just
and liberal economy in the management of our
fiscal concerns. The message will be read
with much interest by every lover of his coun-
try. The Philadelphia Press in noticing the
Message says:
ellis Excelency the Governor had an in
teresting chapter of our States history to
write in his annual message. The year 1862
was one of the most thrilling and important
we have ever known. In that time she has
passed through the tumults and eScitements
consequent upon the great war-she has felt
the foot of the invader upon her soil-she has
been in conditions Of preparation and alarm
she has suffered more from the rebellion than
any Northern State, and we may say without
any assumption of pride superiority, that
no State has done more to aid in the suppress
sion OF the rebellion. Her sons have followed
the banner of the Union wherever it has float
ed. In South Carolina and North Carolina,
in Virginia and Mary land, in Tennessee and
Kentucky, they have borne the banner of their
State. and shed their blood in defence OF the
nation. In every time of danger they have
been ready and in every time OF sacrifice they
| have been unselfish and generous. Much of
| this devotion and bravery is due to the wor
| thy magistrate who has presided over our des-
| TIMES since the rebellion began-and it must
have been with feeling of deserved pride
| that he sat down to write the story of our
| Commonwealth sufferings and glory.

EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.

Col. Ludlow, of Gen. Dix's Staff, has return
ed from City Point, having completed the fol-
lowing exchanges. The number of prisoners
exchanged on each side is about equsl. These
exchanges will restore to immediate active
service about 20 900 of our paroled men. The
exchanges included all officers and men who
were delivered at City Point from the l1th of
November, 1862, to Januaty lst, 1863. All
officers and men captured at Harper's Ferry /;
all officers and men paroied at Winchester
Nov. 10Th and Goth and Dec. lst 1892 ali
officers and men paroed by COL Imorden Nov.
9Th, 1862. All officers and men paroled at
Goldsboro' North Carolina, May 22d, 1862,
and delivered at Wilmington, North Carolina;
all captures in Missouri, Arkansas, New Mex
leo, Texas, Arizona and Louisiana up to jan
uary 1st, 1853; all captured in Kentucky,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, South Car
olina, and Florida up to December 10th, 1862 |;
and all captures on the sea and Gulf coasts
and the waters flowing into the same up to
December 10th, 1862. Colonel Ludlow says
it is highly probable that the rebel Govern
ment will rescind their order retaining United
States officers, and also that citizen prisoners
will soon be released.

A MYsTERY.-Mr. Peter Van Devander, of
Petersburg, Huntingdon county, Pa, in CON-
pany with one or two others, started to hunt
deer, on Thursday Jan. lst, in Diamond VAL
ley,' in the neighborhood of Barre Forge,
and soon after reaching the hunting ground
the party separated with the understanding
that they would meet at some given point
in the evening. The others were there at tho
appointed time, and Mr.. Van Devander not
coming, his comrades started home, and upon
their arrival found that he had not reached
there. Not arriving that night search was
made for him. but without success, until Sun
day last, when his lifeless body was found in
the woods with a bullet hole in the head.
His gun was still loaded when found, leaving
no other conclusion to be arrived at than that
he was foully dealt with. The deceased
leaves wife and several children.

LEGISLATIVE DEAD-LoCKs.

Dead locks in Legislative bodies seem to be
quite the rage. In the New York Assembly
more than week has elapsed without an Or
ganization being effected, Mr.. Sherwood the
Republican candidate for Speaker, receiving
63 votes all the time, and Mr.. Dean, the DEM
ocratic member, 63 also. In the State of IN
diana, the Senate is Republican, and the House
Democratic-the former refuse to go into con-
vention for the election of U. S. Senator,
and the House refuse to receive the Message
of the Governor without the joint presence of
the two Houses. In the Legislature of Mis-
souri parties are so divided that neither has
enough to elect U. s. Senator, and so far
no two have been able to effect union upon
any one candidate. Thus, it will be seen,
that dead-locks have quite run all over the
country.
