sD" THE New Court HousE.-Our
neighbor of the Gazette" takes exceptions
TO the Recommendation of the Grand Jury
for the building of new Court House. We
do not agree with him, that now is not the
proper time. Money never was more abun-
dant with all classes. Some materials, il is
true, are higher, but brick have advanced
but little. The question, however, is one in
which the people outside of Sunbury are
more interested than citizens of that place.
The Court House is county house, and in
tended solely for the accommodation of the
people when called from home to attend as
parties, jurors or witness. Besides, the
very titles of their lands are in jeopardy
from fire.
A sum Of fifteen thousand dollars, in addi
tior TO what can be raised from the old
buildings, &C., would be sufficient. Thi;
could be borrowed, and paid in five years
without being felt. A tax payer who pay.
i've dollars county tax, would not hay,
more, perhaps, than fifty cents year, added
for that time. Surely no one who values
his health, comfort or property, can objec
TO paying so small pittance.

From General Sutler's Depart
IslGHI.

Captain P. w. Scott, of the Eighty fifth
Illinois Regiment, captured near Chicka-
mauga on the 14th of November last, has
just arrived at Fortress Monroe on the
Yorktown mail boat, having made his
escape from the Libby Prison on the 9TH
inst, and reached Gloucester Point last
evening, travelling by night and lying con-
cealed during the day time, and having
been four days without food of any kind.
The Captain reports that doctor Lane, of
Georgia, now engaged among tho prisoners
at Richmond, told HIM that President Lin
coins Amnesty Proclamation had caused
great excitement among the Confederate
Government officials, and that he (the Doc
tor had no doubt tEat onc-half of their
men would be foolish enough to avail them
selves of the advantages held out in that
proclamation by taking the oath of allcgi
ance to the United States Government.
Captain Scott recently heard the guard at
the Libby Prison say that JEFF. Davis and
General Lee had made a secret proposition
10 the Rebel Congress to bring the war 70 a
close. Tnis, however, he regarded us mere
ly camp rumor.
There are strong indications that the
Rebels have but n very small force in OF
about Richmond at the present time.
The Captain leaves here this evening for
Washington en-rouie for Tennessee 10 rejoin
his regiment.

Yesterday morning, about daylight, Sc

seriously, and several Others slightly injured,
As the 1890 train from Philadelphia was
entering the bridge over the Little Juniata
Rivers the axle of the tender broke, and the
baggage car, express car, and two passenger
cars were thrown into the river, a distance
of twenty-five feet. y stove in one of the
passenger cars was upset, which set fire TO
the car, and both of the passenger cars were
entirely consumed. The baggage car about

which was saved. The flames communicated
to the bridge from the burning passenger

but was upset and partially destroyed by

"No MORE PRESIDENTS. Horace Greely
declared in a great public assembly at the
Cooper Institute in New York, on the even
ing of the 22d Dec, that he was not sure
that there would ever be another President
of the United States. What then Shall it
be Dictator, King, Emperor, or-worse than
ala reign of Anarchyl But, no matter ;
only so that Sambo is let loose !"-Reading
Gazette.
Horace Greely did no such thing. We
were present on that occasion, and heard all
he said. Wendell Philips had concluded a
lecture with some ill-timed and unjust re-
marks against Secretary Chase, as one ofthe
Presidential candidates. Mr.. Greely was
called out, and in reply deprecated Presi-
dent making until the rebellion was crushed.
He referred to the period when Fernando
Wocd, and bis copperhead associates, were
endeavoring to get New York out of the
Union, and remarked, that when lie walked
up in the morning, he was not certain
whether he was in the United States. or in
the Southern Confederacy.

When ho arrived et the river referred Ia
above, he tried to get over, intending to
stop that night with good Southern niau
on the other side, He could not get over,
and had to stop at the huuso of a Union
man. Thc next morning he went to the
house lat he had sought the night.previous
and found the track of the Yankees scarcely
cold. They had been there all night, ex-
pecting that lac would come there, and had
murdered every body who had attempted
to reach the house, without hailing them.
In pursuing this brutal course, they had
killed three young men, neighbors of this
gentleman, and went away, leaving their
dead bodies on the ground.
After he had crossed Okcy's River, and
got down into Middle Tennessee, he found
it almost impossible to avoid recognition.
AT one time he passed some poor women,
and one of them commenced clapping her
hands and said, "Oh, know who that is,
know who that is |" but, catching herself,
she stopped short, and passed on with her
companions.
| The General says that his escape was
made entirely without the assistance from
any one on the outside, and, so far as he
knows, also without their knowledge oI
his intention that the announcement of his
! arrival at toronto was one OF those lor
tuitous condolences that cannot be account
ed for that it assisted HIM materially, NJ
doubt In fact, he says that his ''witei
prayers" saved him, and as this is the mos
agreeable way of explaining it, he is deter
mined to believe It.
The above account may be relied on a
correct and although much has been lef
out, yet enough is printed to stamp it a
one of the most remarkable escapes in his

THE STATE SENATE.

The members of the Legislature assembled
at Harrisburg on the 9Th inst. The House
was soon organized, but the Senate, owing
to factious spirit of political aspirants and
greedy Office. seekers, remains unorganized.
jeff. Davis holds in his hands the trump
card of the game, in the person of Major
White, and will play it, OF course, to sub
serve the interests of his northern friends,
who propose, as they have JEFF. on their
side, to make a division of the offices, by
giving the Union party the choice of Speak
er, and then each alternately selecting an
officer, down to the custodian of the privies.
The Union party take the ground that they
are in the majority, and that if the opposi-
ton were honorable men, they would con-
eedc to them right, which the accidental
absence of Major White prevents them from
enjoying. This is the patriotism of 1864,
humiliating record truly. 1t is folly to
expect either magHanimity or justice from
such men, and the question whether the
Union party would not be the gaiuer--cer-
taiHiy in moral aspec.,-by surrenderiug
their own convictions of right and justice,
in the matter, in order to subserve the
greater interests of the country, is one they
should take into consideration.

VERY APrRoPRIATE.-The Sunbury Ga
eetse has put at its mast the name of Abra-
ham Lincoln for President and that of Beast
Butler for Vice President. This is very
appropriate. Now. to point out well, let
the names of twenty-seven niggers be put up
for electors.
The above is from the Selinsgrove Times,
the Copperhead organ of Snyder county.
1t is hard to believe that any democrat of
intelligence and respectability, could endorse,
or encourage the publication of such vile and
wretched stuff-and yet the Times is permit
ted, perhaps by sufferance, to enter into q
number of respectable families. There
seems to be most cordial sympathy between
the CopperheadS and rebels in their hatred
of General Butler.

On tins side Of the river, the right bank, we

that soldiers could accomplish, bat they
