the War could be stopped in two days BY
hanging the consractors-in other words,
BY starving our brave boys in the field
into submission, or compelling them to
leave aud let the Rebels have their way
That is what Vallandigham always said
be would do-uofe against supplies, thus
enabling tho Rebels to conquer Washing
ton, overrun the North, aod make the
Free States IS miserable as the usurpers
have made the Slave States! IL such she.
politicians are not traitors-or hired By
traitors to manufacture . public senti.
meut ag.iu's the Government-,here is
no meaning to the language employed and
the sentiments inculcsted.
Up Ayain.-Some time ago, one Eli
F. .Sherfz committed, in Beaver county, q
murder which sent . thrill Of horror
through the whole community. The
guilty man vas duly convicted, bu.-ss-
capped from jail. The Deputy jailor,
being suspected Of aiding bis escape, con.
Quoted the pursuers to the house Of Mrs.
Eliza Barker, q respectable widow lady, Of
much Intelligent aud some property, and
found the convicted man in . chamber on
her premises, which we're near the jail,
aud where be had been fed. Mrs. Barker,
her daughter, her servant, and two young
some, we're indicted for aiding bis escape.
Her friends alleged that she could not
have fair trial 10 tha. oounsy-so strong
Vas the prejudice sgaiust her; and that
she vas innocent; also that indicsing the
whole family together prevented their aid
log each other Us witnesses, and left them
1t the mercy of the deputy jailor, Who
vas doubtless guilty. On the other band,
it WAS claimed that the people Of Beaver
county are % honorable as any other iu
tho State, and, although indignant At the
murder, and At al conniving at bis escape,
would do justly 10 any trial, which should
include all the family as equally concerned
if .. oil. But msjority of the Legisla-
:ure we're made to believe that fair trial
could no, be granted 10 that county, aud
transferred it to Washington county,
Beaver to pay the costs. To-day the
Seoate passed . bill that Iot only the
present, bu. oil other indictments, &C., in
the case, should be tried in Washington
county. There is . great deal of bad
feeling in the unfortunate matter, which
will probably increase BY their trausfer-
which Was done CONTRARY to tho almost
uniform cus.om) sgaiust the earnest re.
of tho Senator and Member
from Beaver county.
In Senate, to-day, the Appropriation
Bill, was taken up, and some progress
made.
WEDNESDAY, April l.
Cls.r-cold-Aurries of snow.
Last night there vas . cry of "Fire "
and some engines struggled through the
mud until they found the FIRE was in
Camp Curtin, one Of the Hospitals or
other buildings Of which was burned
down. 1t is said to have been set on FIRE
by some of the soldiers, who liked their
former quarters in the City much better.
Or course, there are rascally soldiers, (ss
we'll % rascsls who are not soldiers who
,ham sickness to live at ease, draw pay,
md are nursed BY ladies almost ss well as
if at home-and some, probably, better
han they would be at home. Even the
Patriot & Union says some of this class Of
,oldisrs unworthy Of the name) recently
,,mmenced On unprovoked assault upon
'ome colored people, but we're badly pun.
shed for their smalgsmatiDg propeusisies,
md the police had to interfere to stop .
iot......So many soldiers, sick and
srs coming and going, that
here does seem to be need for Hospital
earer to the Railway but burning down
will not make the officers or the
eopls any moro friendly towards them,
nd the innocent and suffering must share
he evils caused BY the guilty and worth

To show the present wants Of the ser.

ounded men came i9 one train last eve
