hoochee River will be the scene of future
operations. Sherman must cross 1t.
All idea of any more expeditions west
of the Mississippi seems to have been
given up. General Candy has ordered
all the transports and war vessels from
the mouth Of the Red River and Natchez
to New Orleans. The troops left some
time since. The only post now held by
the Federal troops west of the lower
Mississippi, is Little Rock, in Arkansas,
General Steele is there with a5out five
thousand men. 1t is supposed, however,
that he will have TO evacuate the place
The Confederates have cut him off from
his supply post on the Mississippi, and
are closing in around Little Rock.
There has been an arrival from Charles
ton. The siege progresses languidly.
The Navy Department is strengthening
the blockading fleet. A monitor, fri
gate and several gunboats have been sent
to it. Forty-five Confederate officers of
the rank Of colonel and under, have been
distributed through the blockading feet,
in obedience to Secretary Stanton's retail
ating order. No Confederate general Off
GERS, however, have yet been sent.
General Hunter with the remains of
| the Lynchburg expedition reached Gaul-
ey, in Western Virginia, on June 28th.
He pushed on westward towards Charles
ton, short distance from the Ohio.
General EweIl did not pursue him far
from Lynchburg. He turned northward
! and marched up the Shenandoah Valley.
The blockade Of the Mississippi is still
maintained On June Goth, the Con
federates captured a Federal gunboat in
White river, just above its mouth.
Nearly all the crew of two hundred men
were taken prisoners. Three cannon
were taken off the boat and she was
burned.
The President is about to make an
other call for five hundred thousand men.

tray his trust, and TO throw a veil over
the hideous corruption in this particular
department of the Treasury. But Col.
Baker has been inaccessible to every ap-
proach, and with stern sense of the re-
sponsiblhty imposed upon him by his po-
sition, and in spite of the frowns of the
secretary and the difficulties thrown in
his way, he has discharged his duty with
the most signal fidelity, integrity and fear
lessness. He deserves the gratitude and
thanks of every prOperty-holder and tax
payer in the United States For even if
Mr.. Chase should succeed in smothering
investigation at the present time, and
Colonel Baker should now be sacrificed
for exposures he has made of Clark's vii
lanies, the time will soon come when his
faithful work will bear its legitimate fruit
If the President will not interfere TO put
down this great iniquity-the most gigan-
tic combination of debauchery and swim
ding thar has been inaugurated since the
tiood-then the Republican party will in
dignantly hurl him from power; and if
the Republican party will not act promptly
in the matter, then the people themselves
will rise up in their majesty and scatter
that party to the four winds of heaven.

The Fourth of yuiy.

We had no celebration here on the 4th
Of July. Our orators and musicians
went to different places to assist their
neighbors to celebrate this once national
festival As we were not from home, we
can only speak from rumor of those cele-
brations. AT Johnstown there were two
OF three picnics. At Wilmore there was
a fourth, and at Lorctto there was a cav
time. But the largest of them all was at
St. Augustine in Clearfeld township
Thither our distinguished townsmen
Mes5rs. Johnston and Noon were invited,
in order TO have public talk with their
friends i'll that region. The social en-
dearments were unfortunately marrcd by
a young boy being thrown off horse,
hls foo; stuck in the stirup and he was
dragged for some distance, he cane in
contact with the sharp corner of log,
and he received a severe cut in the side
so much so that his entrails protruded to
considerable extent. The doctors on the
ground, got them reduced and sewed up
the wound, but said he would not live
long. By the way there were a whole
chapter of accidents occurred on the 4th
Mr.. \. Gels from Carrolltown it was said
got his leg broken by fall from his
wagon, but we since hear his leg was not
broken, but badly cut by the wheel of
the wagon running over it. At Johns
town, at one Of the picnics, a young man,
/ by the name of John Glass shot another
with revolver, but whether the wound
was mortal or any of the particulars Of
the dispute we are not advised.

great many people in town last week,

great advance in white paper, materials

of incarceration without a hearing OF
without a trial No Democratic news
paper would get leave to circulate II
it told the truth, a paper that would hot
make victory out of defeat, was sure
to be suppressed. Such was the state OF
affairs in this country during the last three
wears. Within these last six months,
people of all parties are beginning TO open
,be;r evps and to ask each other what
these things mean. Does this Admins
tration, after taking every available man
we could spare, and leaving his bones TO
rot in some Southern soil, or else senuihS
him home mutilated and crippled to US,
expect us to give all our available means
TO support the Shoddy Government, and
leave our aged, and our young, and te-
males to starve and perish for the want OF
the necessaries of life, and make a char
mel of our once beautiful country. The
people are quietly but anxiOusly looking
out for the last man and the last dollar.
The people are aware that our army had
no success in this campaign since its open
ing, Grant has got with the loss of seven
ty or one hundred thousand of the bravest
men that the world ever saw to the place
where he might have been without loosing
any of that noble army, and has made
nothing out of it. He is now going round
the fortifications of Richmond and Peters
| burg, without much chance of success. If
| he would succeed, it would be only a pro
| longation of the war which every day
and every draft, clearly evinces to the
! people Of the North that the longer the
war exists the oppression Of the people is
the deeper and more inevitable. Is il any

Sixty miles Of railroads were thorough

WASHINGTON July 3.-The following
telegram, dated to-day, at Marietta,
GEORGIA. was received this evening from
General Sherman, giving the successful
result Of tho aanking operations in pro-
-reSs for some days past:

and Mcpherson toward the mouth of the
Nickaiack, on the Sandtown road. Our
cavalry is on the extreme fianks. Whether
the enemy will halt this side of the Chat

Marietta is almost entirely abandoned by
its inhabitants. More than a mile of the
railroad iron has been removed between
the town and the foot of the Kenesaw.

Resignation.

Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury
has resigned. Whether he has done it
voluntarily, on the principle that rats de-
sert sinking ship or that he was com
PEELED to do it from the force of public
opinion, on account Of the corruption that
was about to be developed in one branch
of the Treasury Department, where they
make the Greenbacks, and where he had
one of his favorites, certain Mr. Clark,
making them, we know not. But one
thing is certain, awful was the state of
things that existed in that branch of the
Department. We clip the following ex-
tract of letter to the - New York
World" showing how matters were con
Quoted in that branch of the Department.

the females clipping them for them.

circulation millions Of notes beyond the
amount authorized, and it would be OK
tremcly difficult TO detect the fraud. Every
note passed over to the treasurer is COM
plete when it leaves the hands of Mr..
Clark. The signatures are all printed,
and nothing remains to be done III order
to fit them for circulation. Mr.. Clark
could Just as well use these notes as the
treasurer and he has it in his power to
commit the most gigantic frauds with
scarcely any possibility Of detection. An
excess of four or five millions of dollars
in mass of four or five hundred millions
of circulation would hardly be noticed.
The loss and destruction of notes IN use
would more than cover this excess and
the detection by the numbers in so great
an amount of money would be slow and
uncertain.
The most extraordinary fact of all is,
that these things are known to the init
mate friends of Secretary Chase, and are
denounced and deplored by them. Spin
ner, Chittenden, McCulloch, Jordan, and
| Taylor are all understood to be uneasy
and much mortified at the existing state
of things, and to have made known their
feelings to the secretary. But he is i'm

of Mr.. Chase believe him TO be honest
and they submit to his determined will
but they cannot explain satisfactorily tt
themselves how he can shut hls eyes K
the monstrous doings and the dangerous

surmises are indulged, some of them no
at all creditable to the secretary; the pro
liability is that Clark's great address, hi
supple and subservient manner to his SUI

The Draft,

Or as it is called out West, Llncoih
RoHe for three wears war Of Abolition
ISM was concluded here on saturday
evening. The officers, although tney
ora at a dirty business, behaved them
,o;res rs gentlemanly as possible. But
when men are robbed, it is little differ
oo 70 them whether it is done in the
Dick Turpin style, or in a more vulgar
manner. We are informed that they took
eighty or ninety thousand dollars worth
of the sweat of the hardy sons of Cambria
county, with them this week They sue
ceeded in getting four men in the whole
county, luckless wights, who were too
poor to pay, and made no previous ar
rangements, depending on their bodily IN
firmities as sure guarantee for exemp-
ton. 1t appears they are not so hard to
please in soldiers now as formerly. They
are like the old topper, they think more OF
the quantity than the quality OF the artl-
Gle They had guard of invalds along,
many OF them walking on timber, instead
of bone and muscle They seemed TO do
their duty remarkably well, particularly
as they had no duty to do. From what
we read in the papers of the gallantry OF
the colored troops, this kind OF service
would suit them very well in which to
distinguish themselves.
We are satisfied they would be prompt
at every call of duty, particularly their
dinner calls The whole farce must be a
humiliating spectacle to every citizen, ex-
cept those who are making money out OF
it. To see high spirited men, men, il
they were satisfied in the cause they were
fighting for, would, like the men of Lo-
ctiel
BE true to the last Of their blood and thei
| breath,

| Of DEATH
To see such men hunting up some
bodily infrmity, that they would at al
other times keep hidden from the world
or if they failed in that, they gave tn
three hundred dollars of their hard earn
! ings, for the same value that the.
would get from highwayman, who de
mandcd their money or their life. II i
the first time III the history of this Repub
lie. that the American people would glor.
in their infirnities. This needs 40 com

Government who has driven them to thes
necessities, and although this Governmeu
is aping after the monarchies Of Europe
in all their laws and tyrannies, they can
not get the people to ape after the subdue
serfs of those lands, they were born an
educated froemen, and if they once &C
aroused let tyrants beware. This Govern
ment can easily become tyrants and riv;

died on the 18th ultimo, as announced by
the arrival of the steamship Arabia. He
was born Oct, 18th 1903. His name is

trymen, but to all lovers of right and
liberty on the face of the earth.
