WAR NEWS.

--latest news from the army Of The Po-
tomac, indicates that news Of string char
acter may be expected from it in a few
days. There seems tc be determ1na-
tion on the part of both officers and men
to smoke Lee out of his entrenchments,
and force him into battle.
In the South west Sherman is march
ing rapidly to the consummation of his
object, while Grant, near Chattanooga is
preparing for an active spring and sum
mer campaign.
The eniistments in both the Volunteer
and regular service is going on rapidly
and it is quite likely that before the Isl
of april, the time now fixed for the draft
our Armies will be filed up to the stand
ard fixed by the recent calls Of the Pres
ident. Then with men, material ant
means, and with God on our side, it can
not be but that short work will be made
Of rebeldom and the rebels.

The Spotted Fever.

For some months past disease known
as malignant typhus fever has prevailed
in some parts OF the city of Philadelphia
and particularly the suburban DISTRICTS
In the latter it has prevailed to an alarm
ing extent, and many persons were car.
ried off with it,
The disease SO far appears to bafie
medical skill entirely. We would offer &
remedy which we have faith enough in
to use in our own family, in case a ply
sician could not be obtained. It is =

"What has Seen Done 2"

The above question is frequently asked
By those who Sympathize with the South
ern rebciIion-and who seem to desire
the success of the rebel over the Union
arms, as though they bel.eyed that the
armies o. lie United States had made nc
material progre.,,s towards subduiDg the
gigantic rebellion VIII, r,hlch they are
now engaged. For the information Of
those who are sEeptical on this SUBJ
and who affect to disbelieve the ability
of the National Government to re-estab-
lish It's authority over all the rebellious
States, we append the following item from
an exchange:
cat the beginning of the war in 1861.
the States and territories claimed by the
rebels as their confederacy, contained, l,
222, 500 square miles, with population
white and black, 12,3f8,076. 81 De
cember last, the Federal troops had reta-
ken 867 500 square miles, with 7,702,
99T inhabitants, leaving to the rebels less
than one third Of the territory, aud lit
tie over one third Of the Inhabitants At
this rate one year more will close the var
and restore to the Union both the terrific
ry and the people that have been SO vile
y stolen away.

Battle Of Clustee.

The expeditionary army, in Florida
under Gen. Seymour had q severe battle
with the rebels, at Olus;ee, on the 20th
ult. The battle lasted over two hours
and half; and though our men fought
bravely, they were owing to unskillfn
handling, and Oyer-powering numbers q.
gainst them, badly beaten. Our loss ii
killed wounded and missing viii, it is
said, exceed twelve hundred. A large
number Of those engaged on our side
were colored troops, and among the caus-
ualities we find,
KaEcd-Amos Huff, and George John
son.
HomncRed-Daniel Washington, Ogden
Huff, and Bernice Haines, all Of whom
were enlisted from Stroudsburg. Thus,
by their blood, have these brave fellows,
sealed their devotion to their Country

a New way of Expressing Contemnf, !,

There must have been remarkable
change OF opinion in Bradford county;
Pa, within few years. Not long ago.
when the Bank of Pottsville issued it's
five dollar notes, James Buchanan was so
popular there his portrait was engraved
upon one corner of the bill, and nobody
thought of defacing it in the remarkable
style that has prevailed since the begin
ming of the war. A banker who is a Gu.
iosity-hunter, has shown us bundle of
thirty-eight of these five dollar notes,
in twenty of which the word " traitor is
written across the forehead in others
the letter 'I'' is branded on one the fol-
lowing words appear:
"Giye him his deserts" )" on another is
written, aye ould diyil," and still anoth-
er bears this inscription ''False to his
country and his God, but true to the Dem
ocratic party" Some ingenious individ-
uals, at q loss to express their contempt
in words, resort to symbols; one has drawn
a copperhead snake, wriggling in the
mouth Of Buchanan; another decorates
the head with cap and bells, aud a third
encloses the neck within a moose which
is attached to gibbet. These curious
methods Of Indicating contempt are not
of a very high order, but they show how
Mr. Buchanan is regarded in that part of
Pennsylvania in which he was once SO
great fayorite.-N. 7. Post.

ETome view of the Rebellion.

We publish this morning, IN ano,hsr
eolumn an interesting letter from lady
IN Richmond 10 her sister IN Kentucky.
The letter bears internal evidence OF gen
uineness, and gives vivid description oi
affairs in Richmond and most gloomy J,
nrosnect for the Southern "Confederacy.
Speaking of Jeff Davis, the writer says be

49,. :'..a..' - if not, indeed, in the oceupa-
49, the city. The writer has made
s.5p es..5apnds in the Rebel service who keep
! her posted and one Of them is in the War
Department, has informed her that "the
Government does net intend to wait Tor
the Yankees to advance, but will concen-
trate their armies and strike where least
expected in overwhelming numbers
This seems to be the only hope of sue
cess" This is long cherished idea
with the Rebels, and, no doubt, one
which the people expect to see realized, at
least they have been taught to believe so.
But the movements now in progress IN
the Southwest, which are distracting the
Rebels and placing their main forces on
the defensive, and the lively signs indi-
Gated by the Army of the Potomac, will
place it out of the power of the Rebels
to make any strike outside Of the limited
territory they now occupy. They appear
to have no faith in North Carolina, and
the Rebel authorities dare not be too rig
id with them, and the writer ''belieyes
that one half Of the State would welcome
the Yankees to day" The grass is grow

The poorer classes are suffering terribly,

of Rebellion, and presents a melancholy
state Of affairs, and it shows that the time
is drawing near when they must admit
their Rebellion against the Government Of
the United States to be a failure, and return
their to their allegiance the only remedy
which can save the people from the ruin

borrowed arms, and actually went out

Z Name Charged.

We hardly knew the iIonesdale Dcnt
ocrat in It's new dress, and with its new
name. But for the old unconditional
Union spirit which peryades its Editori-
ais we should have gone estray at guess
fschewing partizan politics, friend Fen
nimen has supplanted the name Demo
crat, with the mere comprehensive one
of "RepubFc"; by which title the paper
will in future be known. The Republic
is one of the neatest and best conducted
of our exchanges, and its affords US pleas

prosperity.

The sunerintendent in his annual re-
nott 70 the Legislature, shows that the
pnmber Of COMMON schools in the State,

the whole cost Of the system, including
the amount paid by Philadelphia, is 81

These facts are encouraging to the friends
of a school system. Notwithstanding
the war, the average attendance has been
larger, the average per cent upon the
whole number in attendance one half per
cent greater than last year. There were
III less male teachers, and 799 more fe-
male teachers in 1863 than the year pre-
vious, owing to the war. The per cent
age of attendage in the State Schools is
only. 63.5, while in Philadelphia it is
$84.4. Mr.. Coburn is in favor Of stability
in the system, and opposed to frequent
changes, and therefore recommends little
legislation. The difficulties and unccr-
tainty Of defining the number of pupils
attending" has caused the introduction
of a bill in the House requiring the dis
tributon Of the school fund according to
the taxables returned, as it had been un-
I'll last year.

The Senata Unlocked.

The Senate of Pennsylvania was un
locked, on Tuesday last, by the swearing
in of the newly elected Senator from the
Armstrong district, DIR. ST. Clair. Thi
gives Union majority Of one in tha
body, and leaves the Revolutionary Cop.
perheads out 10 the cold. For ali prac.
tical purposes this majority Of one is all
sufficient. With Union House, Union
Senate, and Union Governor, Pennsyl
vania is in position to place herself
right On the record, and to look keenly tt
the interests Of her citizens, and Of tht
general government. That she viii do 81
is beyond peradyenture. But for Tho
disreputable conduct Of Clymer, 4 Co.
much would already have been done tow
ards sustaining the good name of the
Commonwealth. Late as it is much vii
yet be done with that object in view. L
is cause for rejoicing, that the people Of
DIR. St. Clair's district SO well performed
their part towards the organization Of the
Legislature. a majority Of 1894, will moi
be misunderstood even by Copperheads.
