P Patriotic Letter from Gen. Rosecrans

Herewith we publish letter from General
Rosecrans to Gov. Tod, of Ohio, which we
commend TO the "peace democrats" in Brad
ford county. Let it be remembered that Gen.
Rosecrans is now, and has always been q
Democrat, bat not one after the fashion of
Buchanan, Reed & Co.
HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND,
MURFREEsBoRo, Tenn, Feb. }. !
10 the Honorable, the Central Assembly of the
State Of Ohio:
The resolution of thanks passed by your
honorable body, to the army of Cumberland,
its Commanding General and bis staff, has
been duly received and published to the troops
OF this command. Ga behalf of all, | return
you heartfelt thanks.
This is indeed war for the maintenance
of the constitution and the aws-uay, for ma
tlonal existence-agaibst those who have des-
pIsed our honest friendship, deceived our just
hopes, and driven us to defend orr country and
our homes. BY foul and wful slanders on
our motives and intentions, persstently repeat
ed, they have arFayed against US our own fel-
low citizens, bound to US by the triple ties of
consangulnlty, geographical position, and CON-
mercia interest.
LET NO MAN AMONG Us BE BASE
ENOUGH TO FORGETTHIS, OR FOOL
ENOUGH TO TRUSTAN OLIGARCHY,
OFTRAlTORS TO THEIR FRIENDS TO
CIVIL LIBERTY AND HUMAN FREE
DOM. Voluntarily exed from home and
friends, for the defence and safety of all, we
long Tor the time when gentle peace sbal
spread her wings over our land but we know
no such blessing is possible while the unjust
and arbitrary power of the rebel leaders con.
fronts and threatens US. Crafty as the fox,
cruel as the tiger, they cried "no coercion" +"
while preparing to strike u.s. Bully like, they
proposed to fight US, because they said they
conld whip five to Que and now, when driven
back, they whine out "no INVASION" and
plomise Us of the West permission to navigat te
the Mississippi, if We will be "good boys"
and do as they bid Us.
WHENEVER THEY HAVE THE
POWER THEY DRIVE BEFORE THEM
INTO THEIR RANKS THE SOUTHERN
PEOPLE, AS THEY WOULD ALSO
DRIVE US. TRUST THEM NOT
WERE THEY ABLE THEY WOULD
INVADE Us AND DESTROY US WITH,
OUT MERCY. ABSOLUTELY AS.
SURED OF THESE THINGS, I AM
AMAZED THAT ANY ONE COULD
THINK OF PEACE ON ANY TERMS"
HE WHO ENTERTAINS THE SENTI
MENT Is FIT ONLY TO BE SLAVE :;
HE WHO UTTERS IT AT THIS TIME
IS. MOREOVER. A TRAITOR TO HIS
COUNTRY, WHO DESERVES THE
SCORN AND CONTEMPT OF ALL
HONORARI Il MEN
When the power of the inscriptions rebel
leaders is removed, and the people are free to
consider and act for their own interests, which
are common with ours under this Government
there will be no great difficulty in fraterniza
ton. Between cur tastes and social life there
are fewer differences than between those of
the people of the northern and south ern prov
inces of England or Ireland Hoping the
time may speedily come when the power OF
the pertidious and cruel tyrantS Of this rebel,
lion having been overthrown, peace NAV be
laid on the broad foundation of national unity
and equal justice TO ali, under the Constitu
tion aud laws.
remain your fellow citizen.

New ORLEANs-Gen. Banks has had to
follow in the footsteps OF the thoroughgoing
Butler and adopt greater rigor in dealing with
bis Secesh subjects. We may soon expect to
hear got news from his army. Indeed, it is
already reported that they have moved on to-
ward Port Hudson and compelled the enemy
to fall back within their ehtrenchments. A
fishing smack has been taken Lake Ponchar-
train with medical supplies and copious cor
respondence for Rebel leaders The two cer-
gymen whom Gen. Butler had expelled had
returned, but were refused landing because
declining to take the oath of allegiance.

SUMMARY OF NEWS.

General Hooker visited Washington on
Monday There is no news from his army
on the Rappahannock later than that already
published The snow there was very heavy,
and will keep the roads in an impossible con-
dition for many days to come.
From the west we do not receive any intel
ligence further than the movements of our
gunboats at Vicksburg. The army of Gen.
Rosencraus appears to oe taking no decisive
action for the past few days.
Our news from the South indicates that the
rebels are inclined to stake their last chance
upon the approaching attack upon Charleston,
which they declare to be impregnable. The
blow that is about to fall, says the Charleston
Mercury, may be the last we shall receive
in the struggle for our independence, but it
will be dealt with the strength of despair
The foe comes with the avowed purpose to
sack our homes and plough our streets with
his round shot and should hiS power prove
eqnel to his malice, that will be no empty threat.
We are ready for the ordeal" They threaten
US with their matchess little squadron of iron
clads, which are about to obtain the long de,
sired opportunity Of eacounteriog the " Yam
kee" vessels The Southern journals also an
ticipate an immediate assault by our forces
upon Savannah and Vcksburg, and they talk
very confidently, of course, about the capacity
of the gebeEs to defend them
The Richmond Examiner says that the
greater portion of General HookerS army 25,-
900 in number, are now in Fortress Monroe,
Suffolk and Newport's News. The policy of
Louis Napoleon is treated by the same journal
with distrast aud suspicion. 1t says that he
will give no aid to the Southern confederacy
unless it is pushed to the wall by its enemies,
and is ready to fall into his arms in the honr
of its great necessity, as Sardinia and Turkey
did, and that it will be bis tool for many years
afterwards.
The Richmond papers put down their loss
at Fort Donelson at ninety Eight men, and they
claim the capture of eighty prisoners. aud the
destruction of one transport. The rebel Gen.
Gustavus w Smith is reported TO have re-
signed his commission in consequence Of being
recalled from his command 10 North Carroll
ma and General French being appointed in bis
place. Governor Letcher, of Virginia. has
ordered the imprisonment at hard labor in
the Richmond Penitentiary of the Union Off
GERS, Captain Damron and other, as retalia-
ton for the incarceration of two rebels off
GERS in the Pc enitentiary at Washington.
Our European files by the Canada, a: Bos-
ton, which were delivered in this city yester-
day evening, enables US to publish to-day full
reports of the speeches delivered iu the Brit,
sh Parliament on the 5th inst, respecting the
American war and foreign meditation. We
had alreedy given synopsis of the addresses,
telegraphed from Halifax but the relative
details of the remarks made by Earl Derby,
Earl Russell, Earl Grey, Earl Carnarvon and
Mr. Dsraeli ON that occasion will be found of
great interest and Importance.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
HAppISppgG Epb


EDITOR OF ARGUs-SIR Il have just read what is
called Mr.. Holcomb's Defence" in your paper of the
9th inst | am not going TO make general reply to
Mr.. Hocomb statement which is false in its facts
and inference to do discredit to him. Bat wish
ply call the ateution OF your readers to the following
portion Of his Defence, FAR its statements relate
to me
A letter signed by D. Wimot, and also by Messrs
Laporte and Lley members Of the House of RepreSep-
tatiyes written to Hon. Henry d. Moore, State
Treasurer, the l7th of October last, demanding my
immediate removal. This, however, not needed by
worthy State Treasurer, and when the election for
State Treasurer about to off on the 18th inst
Messrs. Laporte and Lilley intent hunting down
their prey. followed up the demand by making my re.
moval the only c0aditOn upon which they would
vote for Mr.. Moore 5 reelection. This Of course com
PEELED Mr. Moore to promise to remove ME, to him
attaches no blame III the natter
Now. the only truth in this paragraph, far rs
referred to, is in the assertion that signed letter
the State Treasurer, asking him to Mr. Hocomb.
That is true But further than that, never had any
communication with the State Treasurer upon the Sub
ject either verbal written Nor is it that the
letter not needed by worthy State Treasurer
but, If correctly informed, he expressed his will
ingness to make the removal at any time those asking
might name but lie preferred to make it until the
first of February, aud earlier date not insisted
upon. So understand the matter.
When Mr.. H0comb undertakes to mike your readers
believe that, worthy State Treasurer" any 9TH
worthy Republican in Penn: ylyania anywhere else
has any sympathy with his political course, or in his
wailings his removal he does not deceive him
self, for he knows better. The unanimous opinion of
all true Republicans everywhere the deserved to lie
removed and that his whining over it is very unmany
and undignied Douby from the fact that lie still
has an occupation which OtheHo had not you know,
when he crled But Mr.. HolcOmb has still lett to him
the duty of acting Spy and IDformer' upon the Re-
publican members of the Legislature especially the
bers from Bradford For this duty he is peculiarly quail
ifed, by ability habit and inclination. aud no doubt he
will give il all the honor and dignity that attach to
q re,y dishonora5le business.

the honest portion of the Argus readers have
become alarmed and disgusted at the rapid

TOWANDA:
MIR. LuLEY7s REJoINDER.

A late number of the Bradford Argus con-
tanned doleful jeremiad from Mr.. JUDsoN
HoLcoMB, who it appears, has been removed
from clerkship in the Treasury, at Harris
burg. In this cantiDg and whining epistle,
Mr.. H., accuses Messrs. LAPoRTE and LILLEY
of having effected the decapitation, and goes
considerably out of bis way, to introduce 9th
er names, among which is that of the editor
Of the REPORTER. Having thus been alluded
TO, we may be permitted to say, that while we
had nothing to do with procuring Mr.. HIS re-
movaI, we heartily and fully sanction the act.
Aessrs. LApoRrE and LILLEY would have been
worthy of the contempt of every Republican
had they permitted Mr.. H., to enjoy patron
age and place which was in their CONTROL
Such we believe is the judgment of every Re.
publican, and Mr.. rs winnings come with
poor grace from man who has received con-
tinued favor from the Republican party since
Its organization.
We publish below letter from Mr.. LILLEY
10 answer to Mr.. HoLCoMB's. In our judg-
ment be attaches too much Importance both to
the writer and epistle. We have never yet
seen public sympathy extended to man turn
ed out of Office, after enjoying its emoluments
for years, much less for one who had cndeav-
ored to break down the organization and the
men who had given him his position. Mr.
HoLcoMB's case is no exception to the rule !;
and all efforts in the part Of himself and
friends to get up sympathy for hm-(whc
an independent man would despise) will be
met with the facts that since 1854 he has been
in Office through virtue of the Republican or,
eanization-that last fail, he leagued with
Democrats to overthrow that organization
and that he conld not expect to hold posi-
tion which was fully and firmly at the disposal
OF the men he had attempted to defeat. A
man Of spirit would have accepted his dismis-
sal ss one of the chances for which he might
have looked-for better men have been relieV-
ed of the burdens of State" upon much
smaller proVocation given.

TIE BOSTON RIOT.


All Is quiet here this forenoon -Four OF I've
were killed last night and probably q dozen
wounded, some Of them seriously. The most
daring act Of the rioters the attacking Of the
armOry IN Cooper street, where q force OF mili-
tsry was stationed 70 protect it. When the mob
had beaten down the doors, they were fred upon
BY q six FOUNDER loaded with canister. This ef-
ieetually scattered the mob at that point.
Cne noter was completely riddled with
shot and fell dead at the door Of the armOry-
Wm. Currier, II years old, was killed VIM
Lock, provision dealer, was seriously wounded
N the thig Oh. Three young women and three or
Tour small b oys were wounded, but not serious
~. Ihey were not partieipators in the riot
Two soldiers IN the armOry we're injured BY
bricks thrown through the window 900
The rioters then attacked gun shops, stealing
and destroying and stealing from four thousand
to FIVE Thousand dollars worth Of property. Thew
we're speedily dispersed BY q TOley from the re-
volvers OF the police.
The first dragons appeared at nine o'clock,
patroing the streets, which together with an
Infantry force oTeraWed all further outbreaks.
The military continue in quarters in the Sec
tons Of the city where the disturbance occurred
Mayor Lincoln issued a proclamation warning
all the riotously inclined from further violence
and calling on all citizens to aid in the preserya-
ton Ofquiet and order
-Four Of the rioters arrested last night are 10 b6
proceeded against for burglary and Wilful muir
der. They are committed without bail.
TEN O'clock, P. M.-Order has been restored
here. The citizens generally have Obeyed the
Mayors proclamation and have kept within
doors, and with the exception Of the riot last
night the streets are as quiet as on Sabbath
In Dock Square, Haymarket Square and
Cooper street, several hundred are cOngregated
but mostly from curiosity and to see the soldiers
quartered and patrolling there No hostile de-
m0nstrutions whatever were made.
The admirable precautions taken BY the au-
thorities, and the imposing display Of military
force they have made with the avOWed determ-
nation to use It with the utmost yigor, have IN
effect really quelled whatever Of the mob spirit
was left from last night
