rs5- On Sabbath day, the 10th inst, a
little girl, daughter of John Michael, re-
siding in Jefferson tp., was out playing,
near the house, and gathered bunch of
wild flowers brought them into the house
much. pleased, and was exhibiting them
to her parents, when a Hornet, which had
until now, been concealed in the same, is
sued therefrom, and stung the little girl
on the neck; as is usual, it was thought to
be nothing serious, and no attention was
paid to it, In short time the neck and
head become swollen, and the child be-
came very sick and the next day medical
aid was called and for some time it was
feared that she would not recover; but We
are gratifed to know that when last heard
from she vas better. We mention this
circumstance. which appears but small
matter, in order that persons may be on
their guard, and apply remedies in dne
time, and thus save trouble, expense, and
perhaps life itself

Southern Trade.

Innearly every Northern city where
trade with the South existed. it has
begun to revive with hopeful prospects.
Coupled with this, in many cases, IS
the payment of old debts, and the
opening of new relations on the old
basis. 1t is not from any unfrendly
feeling towards the North that trade
revives so slowly, but from exhaus-
ton of means by which the South is
compelled TO hold back. But there
is reason to believe that it will not
be long before even this wiz be over
come, at least to very considera-
bic extent.
The contract entered into with
Pittsburgh builders, with in the last
few days, for steam-bo"t t for one of
the Southern rivers, is not less i'm
portant than gratifying. The fact
indicates not only favorably our build
ers are remembered. but that there is
the ability as we'll as the disposition
to employ them again. We may saef-
ly assume that there will be other
contracts for Pittsburgh boats, as
we'll as for Pittsburge manufactures.
The rivers of the South, as well as
the Soutern railroads, are to be re-
stocked, and it must be done mainly
by Northern mechanics, We have
heard it suggested that capital here
cannot find sfaer investment than in
boats for Southern rivers, where they
would be sure to find a ready sale at
remunerative prices. Nothing is
more certain, even if purchasers were
not found, for we conclude there
there wo Id be no business more
profitable than the running of boats
and doing the carrying business on
the rive.s of the South and Southwest.
May We not put the question Shall
Pittsburgh supply those rivers with
boats, and having done so, may not
Pittspurgh boa:men find profitable
business in running them?

The New York Hcrdld lately publish
ed an article asserting that Henry S.
Foote, late rebel Senator from Mississippi,
had stated to his SON. IN law, Hon. Will
liam NJ. Stewart, U. Senator for Neva-
da, that the committee of the rebel Con-
gress to investigate these alleged cruel
ties, had obtained positive facts and data,
proving beyond shadow of doubt that
the system of iHhumsn treatment and
starvation of our prisoners was decided
upon in the Cabinet meeting a. Richmond
for the express purpose of breaking down
the constitution ofmen, and making them
useless as soldiers when exchanged" e"
Noticing this, Mr.. Foote has sent letter
to the Herail, IN uhich he incontroUerfa.
Jiy proces the fact! That Davis and his
whole cobinet of iends favored and en-
dorsed this policy, there is no earthly
doubt

The DcmOcraticPress

1t is somewhat amusing ia notice
the distress into which the Democrat
ic journals of the country are some
times plunged in their attempts to
support President Johnson's Admin
istration, and at the same time con-
denim the policies which mark it
The President has, of course, been
democrat, and as the war has at
length terminated, and the death of
slavery acquicsced in, it is but natu-
raj that the spoils Of the office should
again dazzle their eyes and lead
them to support the nationa. Govern
ment at time when that support is
not required and does not strengthen
the government a particle. When
the country was engaged in terri
Bile struggle for life, and the support
Of every man of us was necessary to
increase our moral power in the eyes
of the world as well of the rebels,
these journals criticised and condcm-
ed nearly every measure of the Ad
ministration. But thanks to the 10y
al portion of the country the rebellion
was subdued without heir aid. They
suddenly discovered that Johnson
had been democrat, and thay had a
pretext for giving formal support
at least to his administration, although
they knew that his measures were
identical with those which Mr.. Lin
coin had determined upon during an
administration they had virulently
assailed. The sympathy entertained
for the South during the war by the
democratic press has been but slight
ly subdued. They nearly all with
one consent are putting themselves
in great straits to establish the in
nocence of Mrs. Surrat in the murd-
er of President Lincoln. Their only
motive can be to embar ass the admin.
istration of Mr.. Johnson, ard bring
it into disrepute. A few days since
the Richmond Wig was suppressed
for uttering sentiments of which the
following arc random selections:
II am strongly aud flexibly opposed to the
execution, Imprisonment or further en-
barrassment of any person who was con-
nected in any way, officially or otherwise,
with the late REBELLION. | am equally op-
POSED to the mean, brutal and cowardly
policy of confscation. The revolving
absurdity of such policy is equaled on
ly by its atrocious injustice"
The Chicago Times comes to the res
cue of its unfortunate ally in Richmond,
and condemns the proceedings of the Gov
ernment. Although it "endorses" the
administration of President johnson it
cannot forget that the laws upon which
it is being to considerable extent con-
Quoted were passed by an abolition Con-
gress." Ii is true that the Times does
not use as strong language as the Hhig,
but it is moved by the same spirit. Pits.

unless sooner discharged" but at time
when the Government was assailed by a
ruthless foe, was no time to cayil about
matters of form. The idea was thst all
volunteers should be discharged when the
rebellion was suppressed.
1t is neither just nor magnanimous for
a great Government to take mean ad-
vantage of a mere matter of form, and
endeavor to hold Uolunteers to do the duty
of regulars 1t is an exhibition of bad
faith at best.
Some four weeks ago we were hurried
from Washington, d. c., to this place
Not knowing but that some new danger
threatened the Government in another
quarter, of which we were not aware, We
cheerfully complied with the orders. We
are now given to understand that we are
to make long and weary march across
the plains, without the remotest prospect
of discharge for many months to come.
Although it may be gratifying to the
ambition of some of the officers to retain
high and lucrative position at our ex-
pense, zee who bear the brunt and endure
the hardships, are keenly sensible of the
injustice of such proceedings, and earn
estly, though respectfully protest againstit.
A few days ago we were ordered to
turn over our horses and equipments, and
we're encouraged to believe that we were
about to be discharged but what is our
dismay to learn that we are to be imme-
diately remounted and equipped for the
march
Sir, we are not slaces, but men-men
who have interests IF our own to attend
to, and now that peace is established we
wish to be citizens again, in order that we
may have fair start with our fellow citi-
zens, and share in the general joy and
prosperity which invariably follow an
honorable peace

many of your readers desirous of hearing
something from the 1+th, we have con-
cluded to send youa short communication
with some enclosed papers, all Of which
you will please publish, which will give
our friends at home to know where we
are and what we are doing, and also what
others would like to do We believe the
accompanying documents will explain
themselves, and that therefore no prelim-
mary remarks are necessary, in order that
the people at home may see the propriety
of the course We are taking. First the
Preamble and Resolutions which were
gotten up by committee of one from
each company, and we're signed be every
enlisted man present in the Regiment, as
follows
WHEREAS, We the undersigned, enlist
ed men of the 14th Pa. Vol. Cav, hav-
ing learned that it is in contemplation to
send us across the plains, as we under
stand, for the purpose of operating against
certain hostile tribes of Indians, and to
keep open, to, and defend the western
frontiers aud,
WHEREAS, When we enlisted, as we
did with purely patriotic motives we
did so with the understanding that it was
for the purpose of assisting to crush out
the hen existing rebellion, and to sustain
the authority of the National Govern
ment in opposition to those who had then
rebelled and taken up arms against it
and
WHEREAS, That object has happily
been attained, the rebellion crushed, and
the authority of the Government once
more established, and the supremacy OF
the Constitution and laws again acknowl.
edged in every (heretofore) rebellious
State and,
WHEREAS, There always have been
certain tribes of Indians hostile to the
whites why not, We ask, resort to the
same means as heretofore to have them
subdued, without the aid of roiuntcers
who were enlisted for another purpose
which purpose has been fully accomplish.
ed, therefore,
ReSolUed, That as we enlisted for three
years or DURING THE WAR, and as the
aear is over, and the object of our enlist
ment accomplished, we candidly believe
that we should be discharged.
Resolocd, That as even the rebels them.
SelDeS are at their homes, having ceased tc
be enemies, we claim that ace should be
permitted to return to ours.
Rcsolccd, That we respectfully request
our worthy Colonel, j. NJ Schoonmaker
and regimental officers, to use their infiu
encc, and their utmost endeavor to have
us mustered out before going any farther
and as soon as possible.
Resoiced, That one copy of these reso,
lutions be presented to our Colonel and
regimental officers, and one to his Excel.

TO HIS E.rcellency, A. g. Curtin, Coz.
Of Pennsylvania:
SIR The uniform interest YOU have
always manifested in the welfare of the
soldier, has justly conferred upon you the
title OF 'The Soldiers Friend" and you
Tichly merit their lasting gratitude.
Now that the bloody strife has ended,
and peace and harmony again prevail
throughout our glorious Union, the sol
diers who enlisted to secure that happy
event, would still look with confidence to
you to procure for them that justice
which the General Government is so tar
dy in comforting.
We entered the service at time when
the Government was struggling for its
very existence with the most formidable
rebellion on record. The inducements
held out were liberal bounty, a prospect
of increased pay, the honor of serving in
a just cause, and speedy termination CT
the war. 1t was confidently asserted that
the rebellion could not possibly hold out
more than year, or year aud half at
the farthest, and it was universally under
stood that all ooiuateers should be honor
ably discharged at the end of the war.
They enlisted for the emergency, and
that emergency has passed, the contract
is finished and they are entitled to their
discharge
