occurred in Denmark, though the Ger

land, supported by France, Russia and
Sweden, had proposed an armistice on
the basis of the evacuation of all OF

on the other hand, is reported to have

Selling Soldiers.

Among the mean acts which have
lately transpired is that of officers re-
crulting men with the understanding
that they are to be credited to a GER
tain locality, and then selling them to
some shark agent in another county
a transaction Of this kind took place
IN Johnstown, a short time ago, bv
which fifty or sixty men who were to
be credited to that place, were taken
to Harrisburg and then sold by the
captain to a Chester county shark
the men receiving ten dollars MOI e than
they had agreed to take from Johns
town, and the captain and probably
the shark together pocketing the sur
plus, $40 it is said, for each man
This case has awakened an indigna-
ton that will we judge result in the
disgraceful dismissal of this captain,
and we hope every other officer guilty.
OF the same meanness. Selling me-
groes has always been bad enough, but
selling white men like slaves smacks
too much ofAlgerineism to be tolerated.
Another act of puppyism also ex-
tensively carried on, is the practice of
some sharpers from the lower counties
frequenting Provost-MarshaPs neigh
borhoods, and when men are brought
there to be sworn in, offering them
higher bounties than they had agreed
to take. In this way we hear it said
that Sheriff Contner, who had taken
some men from Menno township to
Hollidaysburg, was deprived of several

scoundrel or a pickpocket would be
guilty of If any of this class are
caught in Mifiin county we would rec
commend q dose Of tar and feathers,

WAR NEW s.

Dispatches from Vicllsburg continue
to assert that General Sherman had
occupied Selma, Alabama, after a Sc
we're fight. Extracts from Rebel pa
pers admit that Polk has been sadly
out-generaled' by Sherman. Reports
brought into Memphis say that Gen
Smiths cavalry expedition, after
severe fight at West Point, Mississippi,
had been forced to fall back. 1t is
quite probable that this falling back is
a part Of the plan for the safety of
General Sherman's march. If the
Rebel Generals Forrest, Adams. Lee
and Roddy have all combined to drive
Gen. Smith back upon Memphis, then
we may reasonably conclude that
General Sherman's rear has been un-
molested by any serious cavalry at
tack
Our advices from General Grants
army report the return of our forces
to Tunnel Hill, which point will be
held hereafter. General Grants de-
monstration, it is said, was a recon
noissance in force to prevent the Reb-
els from sending reinforcements to act
against General Sherman. In this it
was entirely successful Claiborne's
Division, which had been sent to rein
force General Polk, was recalled, and
the fact developed that the enemy
We're in full force at Dalton. Long
street, it is stated, is falling back to
Atlanta, Georgia, and part Of his force
is said to have reached there on the
25th. This needs confirmation.
The Fulton, from Port Royal, brings
news of the defeat of General Sey-
mour on the goth instant, near Lake
City, Florida. Lake City, on some of
the maps, bears the name Of 'Alliga-
tor 1t is on the railroad connecting
Jacksonville and Tallahassee, and fifty
five miles west of jacksonville The
country thereabouts is low and wooded,
atfording many opportunities Of am
bushing and surprising an advancing
party, and it is stated by one account
that our forces, through the indiscre-
tion of General Seymour, were caught
in a trap. 1t is very likely that the
extent Of the disaster has been exag-
gerated General Gilmore has seen
fit to keep back all accounts of this
battle, and to close up all avenues to
the people who are so deeply interest
ed. Even the list Of killed and woun-
ded was retained until the next steam
er, thus prolonging the anxiety and
grief of those who have friends in the
Department and among the troops en-
gagged. By this carefulness on his
part, exaggerated accounts are spread,
rumors become facts, and a reverse is
magnitied into serious disaster. Our
losses were certainly heavy, as two
hundred and forty of the wounded
had arrived at Hilton Head On the
18th instant the sloop-of-war Housa-
tonic, one of the blockadlng fleet off
Charleston Bar, was blown up by a
| Rebel torpedo, which came out Beach
Inlet and approached within sixty
yards before it was discovered. The
Housatonic sank in three minutes
after the explosion, in twenty-eight
feet Of water. Captain Pickering was
wounded, and two ensigns and three
seamen lost. The Housatonic was a
| fine vessel of twelve hundred tons, and
carried battery Of thirteen guns.
A movement was commenced by a
portion of the Army of the Potomac
on Saturday last, hut with what object
is not known.

Aged Negro Burned to Death.

A colored centenarian, named Philip
Moore, residing in cabin at the foot of
the mountain, near Monroe, Fayette coun-
ty, came to his death one day last week by
his cabin taking fire while he was asleep.
His charred remains were found in the
smoking embers near the door, indicating
that he had endeavored to escape from the
burning building. The Uniontown Stan,
dard says that Philip was 105 years of age,
and up to his 18th year enjoyed all the
sweets of 'the divine institution But on
the majority of his young massa, the old
man having shuf1ed off this mortal COLL
young massa kindly offered him his free
dom. Philip, however, did not give his
young master very much credit for his ap-
parent liberality He said he was consid-
cred too old to work any more, and young
massa offered him his freedom on condition
that he would leave the State and never
come back again. Having a daughter in
Fayette county he concluded he would try
the pleasures of freedom, and found his
way to this side of the mountains, where,
for thirty years, he made out to keep body
and soul together, Notwithstanding it was
supposed that his blood and sweat had been
mainly extracted by the divine institution ,
He was never known to sigh for the flesh
pots of Egypt or 'to go back to beggarly
elements His philosophy never reached
the high state of refinement which discov-
ers that the normal condition of the labor
ing man is slavery.
