1.-THE WAR IN CLEARFIBLD."


We to-day insert in our columns an article,
in reply to one with the above heading, IN
the last C3earfeld Republican,
In connection with it we have to remark
that, Immediately after the Presidential
election, as our readers will doubtless re-
member, we published an article advising
more conciliatory course TO be pursued
in the future We had hoped that the or
gan of the Democracy would second our et-
forts in this respect, but instead it declared
that its party has no concessions to make,
and that the Democrat who offers to ac-
cept the proffered cancellation as base
"born, sopHess, crf;aging co,card. "
Notwithstanding this churlish response
TO our offer, We, for weeks, have abstalned
from replying to anything which the Re
publican may have had to say, until silence
.'has ceased to be virtue. For the fu-
ture we shall reserve the privilege to ex-
press ourselves in such manner that we
think will give even the editor of the Rcpu6-
lican no further reason to complain Of the
''cowardly set of Abolition leaders not
plainly enough declaring their opinions OF,
and fixing the responsibility upon the per
sons Justly chargeable with being the cause
of bringing troops to our county.

Mon on Saturday the 18th declaring Mis-

The Union Convention which has been III
session at Nashville. for several days, at its
session on Saturday the 14th, nominated W.
G. Brownlow, for Governor of Tennessee,
by acclamation The Parson being present,
delegate asked him if he would accept,
whereupon he responded in the following
language:
Gentlemen | settle the controversy by
my assuring you that [ will accept, Ap-
piause | cannot be expected to do any
thing more, and certainly ought to do no
my sincere and unfelgned thanks for the hon
or and distinction you have conferred on me.
I will not speak to you, gentlemen, but what
you will lack in speaking, if the people
should ratify the nomination, | will try to
make up in deeds and acts, and God being
my help, if YOU will send up legislature TO
reorganize the militia and pass other neces-
sary business, will put an end to this in
fernal system of guerrilla fighting in the
State, in East, Middle and West Tennessee,
if we have to shoot every man concerned.
A burst Of loud aud continued applause
followed this characteristic announcement.
The Convention then proceeded to nomi-
nate Legislature

The New Movement of Thomas.

The new movement of General THOMAS,
mlsteriously alluded TO for some days back
by Western correspondents, begins now to
be understood. His main Infantry force
has been sent to Eastport, Miss, little
town in the extreme northwestern part of
that State, aud situated on the Tennessee
river, which there forms the boundary
between Mississippi and Alabama. Most of
Of these troops were conveyed down the
Cumberland river, thence down the Ohio,
and thence up the Tennessee, rather
also were conveyed by this route, the rest
going over the country. Another force Is
stationed at Alabama. This new position
gives rise to much speculation as to design,
new movements, &c. 1t is understood that
the army at Eastport Is t. be reinforced
by 1900 men from Memphis, which will
augment the number Of THOMAS command
to more than so, 900 bayonets. To that
veteran and victorious force, the States OF
Alabama and Mississippi can oppose per-
haps 25,000 men, defeated and desperate,
under leader whose career Is an unbrOken
succession of disasters and who Is neither
trusted nor liked by his troops. All that
can be added to that strength will be the
slender force under Dick TAYLOR, and
the rawest of raw militia and unwilling
from the counties through which HOOP
will continue his retreat. The position
now held at Eastport and Florence will be
permanently held; serving equally as bases
of supply for the forces operating south, and
as frontier garrison-p posts for Tennessee.
A correspondent states, that THOMAS
contemplates-if he has not already u: der
taken the enterprise promenade a Ia
SHERMAN across Alabama or Mississippi,
and may be both, and that eventually he
will not stop short Of Mobile Such a
march presumes that he shall cut loose
from all bases, and seek for new ones on
| the coast, as SHERMAN did. To cooperate
with such an advance, a strong force Is re-
ported to have already left NIcksburg, un-
der General DANA. Following about the
track of General SHERMAN 5 famous eXpe-
dltion a year ago General DANA will move
on the Railroad to Meridian, destroying as
he goes the line which the rebels rebuilt
after Gen. SHERMAN From that point he
Is to make for Cahawba, an important town
on the Alabama River, two hundred and
| sixteen miles above Mobile, twenty-five be

of the Alabama river for almost its whole
length above Mobile, and viii render easy

Of navigation on the Chattahoochee. And
if the rivers and principal towns of Central
Alabama fall into our hands. the State goes

THAT POWDER"

One of the charges alleged against citi-
Zens Of certain sections of this county. and
under which many have been arrested. and
are now in Fort lIitilin, is that of buying
and selling ammunition. SO far as powder
is concerned We believe the whole thing can
be exr lained. Our FORESTS are well sup
piled with game . We know it was the
common talk as the hunting season approach
ed that they would lay in good supply
while they had the chance, &c GEedjJjejd
RepubiicaR.
In the whole course of his professional
career, was the astute Senator ever driven
to such miserable subteriuge?. The secret
oath-bound association was only to kill
game, too, we suppose? The hundreds
of revolvers imported and distributed
throughout the county were for the same
purpose Dan Goodlander skedaddled be-
cause the eighty pistols he furnished to cit
izens Of Brady township, were to kill deer !
John Holt left for Canada because he swore
certain citizens of Graham township to
kill deer Truly, you may say the guilty
flee when no man pursues. y
1t won't do Billy. The evidence on the
files of the Provost MarshaI's offce-evi-
dence furnished by members of your own
party settles the question beyond dispute,
and with all your skill at special pleading
you will never be able to account for the Sc
cret society, the pistols, and the powder, in
any other way. than that they were intend
ed to resist the draft. The facts have been
solemnly sworn to by more than forty of
your fellow Democrats, and when the prop
er time arrives, that evidence viii be laid
before the public Then it will be seen
what kind of game" the powder was
intended to kill, and who are truly respon-
sible for the troops being sent to Clearfeld.
The innocent will be fully vindicated, and
the guilty exposed all in due time.

the Richmond papers would have us think
Though Gordonsville was not occupied, the
expedition returned to camp with two pie
ces Of artillery, one hundred prisoners, and
good horses. enough to remount all the dis
mounted men. The men f;,red suinptuously
on the country, finding plenty Of pork,

Inconvenience than frost-bitten ears and
feet, Among other trophies, they brought
to camp over five hundred head Of beef cat
