Nominated Him Again.

A selfconstituted committee of gen
tlemen, says the Lebanon Courier,
WHO few weeks ago met at Cincin-
natl and nominated General Mcclellan
for the Presidency, nett in Philadelphia
last week and nominated him again.
They must think there is virtue in
nominations. That old, worn. out po-
litical hack, Amos Kendell, was at the
head Of the committee on both occa-
sons. The people will soon become
satisfied that these men are much more
interested in getting into political pow
er thanthey are in aiding to maintainour
free institutions and preserve our gov
ernment. The whole trouble with Nc
Clellan and all his parasites is, that
they think more about partizan success
in elections than they do about put
ting down the rebellion. This is no
time for such narrow-minded and sell
fish men.

Important Arrests.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.
Two brothers, named Aaron and George
Wolf, and Messrs Benjamin and Esalas
Hoffman, have been arrested and confined
IN Fort Lafayette, for being concerned in
the blockade running business. They
shipped goods TO Nassau, per brig Good
line, which were subsequently found on
the captured steamer Margaret and Jessie
Messrs. j. d. Young and j. G. Budd have
also been sent to Fort Lafayette as ship
pers of contraband goods. Other parties
and also visitants of the hotel here, known
as the headquarters of those of secession
proclivities, have been arrested The
blockade business here is almost played
out.

The Peace Democracy.

The Peace Democracy of this and
other States, says the Harrisburg Tel
egraph, are constantly praying for
peace, asserting the duty of the au-
thorlties to make every compromise
for peace, and when they desire to
elinch their sophistries on this subject,
arrogantly claiming that there is no
treason in desiring speedy peace. But
all good men believe that there is trea-
son in the position assumed on this
subject by the doughfaces of the North.
in which they pray for, hope for, and
work for peace-either treason or idi-
otto folly. The doughface leaders
know that there can be no peace ex-
cept by the suppression of the rebel
lion. Peace can only come by the tri-
umph OF the Federal or rebel arms.
The men who oppose the war, as the
doughfaces do, in order to secure peace,
are doing more for the rebel cause
than the rebels themselves. Every
word uttered for peace short of the
full triumph of our arms, is an argu-
ment in favor of treason, and of course
those who thus speak are little better
than traitors. Hence the men who
clamor for peace, either do not know
what they are thinking about, or they
are in favor of peace based on
demolition Of the Union-and that is
treason.

last shifts of desperate cause, are
resorting to acts of tyranny and OPP
preston which, thus far in the history
OF the world, have reacted on their
authors. The Amnesty Proclamation
Of the President is doubtless produc-
ing its effect among the deluded men
who followed the lead of Buchanan S
perjured and traitorous cabinet, and as
the sober second thought" takes the
place of misguided reasoning, thou
sands will seek safety under its wings
1t is worthy of note that a gang of
northern doughfaee patent democrats,
fellows continually prating about "dem-
ocraey," the constitution, "Lincoln's s
usurpations," "poace," &c, can hardly
be brought to utter a word against the
scoundrels who enact such laws as are
now proposed at Richmond! They
can run about the streets crying out
against the draft and against the $500
exemption, but as for the south it is
" Pro sident Davis" is a great states

man of the age, the southern army

GERS are id abolitiorists, our soldiers

is a great pity that such tories cannot
be planted where JEFF Davis could lay

The Rebel Plot Against Johnson's Island

Inc ReDeI Flot Against JohnSon's Island
When the plot Of the rebels and
their sympathizers in the Northwest,
to release the prisoners confined at
Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie, was
discovered, the Copperhead journals of
the North 'pooh-poohed" the matter,
and attempted to get up a laugh on
Secretary Stanton, for having, as they
alleged, been badly sold We now
have proof Of the existence of the plot
from rebel sources, which cannot fail
to convince the most obtuse mind. 1t
is from the report of Mr.. Mallory, the
Secretary of the rebel navy, and is a
full confirmation Of the statements
heretofore published concerning the
affair. Mr.. NJ, in his report, says:
"During the months of July and Au-
gust | sent twenty seven commission ed Of
fcers and forty trustworthy petty officers
to the British Provinces, with orders to
organize an expedition and cooperate with
army officers in the attempt to release the
confederate prisoners confined on Johnson s
Island, in Lake Erie. From time to time
| learned that the arrangements were such
as to insure the most complete success. A
large amount of money had been expend-
ed, and just as our gallant naval officers
were about to set sail on this expedition
the English authorities gave information to
the enemy, and thus prevented the execu-
ton of one OF the best planned enterprises
of the present war"

Major Francis Jordan, of Bedford

The Philadelphia Saturday Even

new story called Oswald Cray, by Mrs
Wood, an authoress of considerable
note. It's columns also contain much
other matter of interest to fastidious
as well as general readers.
The rebel captain, Hugh Logan,
formerly of Franklin county, Pa, J
was recently captured at Woodstock,
Virginia, by Col. Boyd's cavalry He
was seriously wounded in the right

is one of Importance. He has been

The Hartford Courant says that

for libel, when the editor responded by
printing the case in full. 1t takes such
wretches as Burr and Andrews to

will be false to everything else.
An Ertensiue Hog Business.-The ST..
Joseph (Mo.) Herald says that far
mer living in that county brought in a
drove of hogs recently, raised by him
self, for which he got fourteen hundred
dollars. The same paper says that
beet cattle are worth two dollars, gross,
IN that city, corn is worth so cents a
bushel, butter 80 cents pound, apples
10 cents bushel, timothy hay dollar
per cwt., and eggs 40 cents dozen.
Egg fruit seems to be the dearest pro-
duct in that region.
High Prices-However much men
may complain of high prices, they
have by no means reached the height,
after three years of war, than they
did in time of peace, in 1887. 1t ap-

Rochester was 50 a bushel. In New
