Reveries of a Bachelor 3i Senatorial Stealing. It would only be reasonable to suppose that men who have arrived at a position of sufficient prominence in their respective States to be chosen to represent them in the Senate of the United States, would at least possess the virtue of common honesty. One would not naturally expect to see the members of what should De the most P. Gray Meek, editor of the Bellefonte Watchman, in his first issue after his release pays the following handsome compliment to Governor Curtin. We are sure Mr.

Meek has good ground for thus praising his Excellency. If Gov. Curtin had not deserved such praise it would never have come from the source it does. Mr. Meek is no flatterer, and proves himself to be entirely fearless by his first issue, after being released from confinement in the loathsome military prison at Harrisburg.

Of the Governor he says It gratifies us to see that Governor Curtin is throwing off some of the chains that have been bound around him by his party, and is rising to the dignity of an independent man and governor. On the matter of illegal and arbitrary arrests by military authority, he expresses himself freely, condemning them in the severest terms. We believe he has said that they shall cease in this State, or as governor of our once proud old commonwealth, which has so long bent her knee in servile submission to the indignities which the administration of Abraham Lincoln has heaped upon her, he will know the reason why. He justly feels indignant Rebel Congress. In accordance with the recommendation of Davis, in his special message, the Rebel Congress voted, on the 15th instant, to suspend the writ of habeas corpus.

The vote in the House was 36 yeas to 32 nays. The bill is as follows Whereas, The Confederate iStates are invaded, and the public safety requires a suspension 01 the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. The Congress ot the Confederate States of America do enact, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is hereby suspended until otherwise provided by law, in all cases oi arreal or detention by order of the President, the Secretary ot War, or the general officer commanding the Trans-Mississippi Military Department. "Section 2. Until otherwise provided by law, the said privilege shall be suspended for sixty days from the tune of arrest, in every case of arrest or detention by order of a general officer commanding an army, or a military department or district.

"Section 3. Kvery such order shall be in writing, signed by tlve officer making the same, and shall name or describe the person to be arrested or detained. "Section 4. No military officer, detaining a person by virtue of any such order, shall be compelled, in answer to any writ of habeas corpus, to appear in person, or to return the bodyoi the person sodetained; but upon his certificate, under oath, that such person is detained by him under such an order, accompanied with a copy the order, further proceedings under the writ shall cease and remain suspended according to the provisions of the preceding sections." Havana. Effects of the Decline in bold.

The N. Y. Herald of yesterday thus notices some of the effects of the recent rapid decline in gold The business men of the country now begin to realize the evil effects of the financial policy and absurd gold bill legislation of the government, which forced gold in July last to 285, and has left it at the capture of speculation ever since the suspension of specie payments. But for our fiscal mismanagement the premium would never have risen to the height from which it has fallen, and consequently the currency would have had a much more stable value, like that of England, between 179J and 1821, when speculators had very little power over its value more than public opinion sanctioned. The secret of this lay in heavy taxation and avoidance of paper money inflation beyond ann amount needful for the pui poses of commerce.

The effect of heavy decline in the gold premium is beginning to show itself in the extreme depression of government securities and the stoppage of the usual subscriptions to the seven-thirty loan. Speculative lots held on small margins have been pressed for sale, and the ne-eessitiesof investors among the financial and mercantile community have compelled them to sell at a sacrifice. At the same time the general disturbance of all the values, and the temporary cessation of the foreign demand added to the possibility of a return of five-twenties from Europe has weakened faith in the maintenance of the present market prices, and induced a preference for currency over every other form of security. The general and not incorrect impression is, that we are drawing towards a lower range of values, and people are therefore providing themselves with as much paper money as upright and dignified body of the world engaged in all kinds of petty official pilfering. But this is the age of stealing.

Never in the history of this or any other nation was there such systematic and wholesale plundering of the public treasury as is going on among us to-day. Every public official, almost, seems to be affected by the mania that prevails. All seem to regard it as a right thing for them to filch all they can from the governmental coffers. The following correspondence of the Cinci-natti Gazette shows how dishonest the abolition United States Senators are. They are ready and eager to filch every cent tiiey can from the impoverished treasury of the country." Of course, nothing else is to be expected.

The moral tone of the party now in power is not sufficiently elevated to act as a check upon such things. Dishonest officials are the rule, and wide-spread official corruption is the order of the day. We quote The Senate of the UnitedJStates is, in all matters of provisions for its own convenience, proverbially the most extravagant legislative body in the world. For its fifty-two members it spends 817,000 in stationery. The one hundred and ninety-two members of the House only ask for their whole number $12,000.

The fifty-two members of the Senate manage to consume in a session more ice than all theone hundred and ninety-two members of the House They pay their secretary 480 a year more than the House gives its clerks; and the clerks of their committees $14 more per week.

Ord renders it probably useful that the conference suggested should be had, you will proceed as you may prefer, and are clothed with all the supplemental authority you may need in the consideration proposed, or for a military convention, or the appointment of a commissioner to enter into such an arrangement as will cause at least temporary suspension of hostilities.

Headq's Confederate Armies, March 2, 1865. To Lieut. Gen. U. S.

Grant, Commanding United States Armies: General Lieut. Gen. Longstreet has. informed me that in a recent conversation between himself and Major General Ord, as to a possibility of arriving at a satisfactory adjustment of the present unhappy difficulties by means of a military convention, Gen. Ord states that if I desired to have an interview with you on the subject, you would not decline, provided I have had authority to act.

Sincerely desiring to leave nothing untried which may put an end to the calamities of war, I propose to meet you at such convenient deemed place as you may designate, with hope that upon an interchange of views it may be found practicable to subjects of controversy between the belligerents to a convention of the kind mentioned. In such event I am authorized to do whatever the result of the proposed interview may render necessary or advisable. Should you accede to this proposition, I would suggest that, if agreeable to you, we meet at the place selected by Gens. Ord and Longstreet for the interview, at 11 A. on Monday next.

Very respectfully, your ob't servant, R. E. Lee, General, C. S. Venable, A.

A. Headquarters, March 7, 1865. General Scott, we see, is catching is it from the Abolition, presses just now. He is a "Copperhead," and in his dotage." There it nothing too severe to be said of the poor, old man, who, after a long career of usefulness, has sought that retirement which Republican meetings will not allow him to enjoy in peace. They will strive to force him to attend them, and when he writes letters to the committees, in which we can see no just cause for censure, because he does not unqui vocally subscribe to all they think now and may think hereafter, they fall to cursing, like the very deal.

They revile him in their best style. We clip a specimen from the Indianapolis Gazette, together with the letter which has called forth such an outburst of wrath. It is headed COPPERHEADISM. It is astonishing how ready Copperhead editors still are to applaud anything said by a prominent Union man that seems to exonerate rebels or to censure or condemn the loyal people of the North. Gen.

Scott, the other day, wrote another stupid letter the most stupid and silly thing he has written since his retirement but it is a precious "crumb of comfort" to some of the NorthernCopperheads. It is his note to the New York Committee, excusing himself from participating in the celebration last Monday of our army victories, and is as follows New York, March 3. Hon. C. P.

Daily, Chairman, Dear Sir I regret, on account of debility, I cannot take any part in the grand celebration of to-morrow, as 1 sincerely rejoice in our victories over rebels, which, with others impending, cannot fail soon to bring back into the Union, on terms of perfect equality in rights and duties, the outstanding States. Reciprocal respect and admiration have already, by the dint of hard fighting, been established between the gallant veterans of the opposing armies, and this noble sentiment gives the hope that it may conquer the miserable hatred so general between non-combatants Secessionists and Unionists. This, indeed, would be the great conquest of the day. I remain, with high respect, yours truly, Winfield Scott. Who but a copperhead or rebel sympathizer could write such a letter as this except an old man in his dotage, as is the author, and influenced also most likely by childish envy and hatred towards some of our leading and most successful military men The idea of the Southern States returning on terms of perfect equality in rights and duties is enough to stir the venom of this editor, and he berates the General through three quarters of a column in the style quoted.

We say Governor Curtin feels this, and it is bringing out the man in him, and he swears it shall cease. All honor to the Governor for his noble resolve. A continuance in it will make the people of this State his friends, without distinction of party, and his name will be honored when that of Abraham Lincoln and Andy Johnson will have passed into oblivion forever.

We have condemned the Governor very often heretofore, but we applaud his manliness now, and it gives us pleasure to bear this testimony to his moral courage. from his Life and Opinions, by Lieut. Gen. Sir ir. Napier.

Vol. 1, page 14. When seventeen I broke my right leg. At the instant there was no pain, but looking down I saw my foot under my knee, and tbe bones protruding that turned me sick, and the pain became violent. My gun, a gift from my dear father, was in a ditch, leaping over which had caused the accident; I scrambled near enough to get it out, but this lacerated the flesh and produced extravasated blood.

George came to me he was greatly alarmed, for I was very pale, and we were both young, he but fifteen. Then came Capt. Crawford, of the Irish artillery, and I made him hold my foot while I pulled up my knee, and in that manner set my leg myself. The quantity of extravasated blood led the doctors to tell me my leg must come off, but they gave me a day for a chance. Being young and vain of good legs, the idea of hop and go one, with a timber tot made me resolve to put myself to death rather thau submit to the amputation, and I sent the maid out for laudanum, which I hid under my pillow luckily the doctors found me better, and so saved me from a contemptible action.

Perjnapa had it come to the pointl might have had more sense and less courage than I gave myself credit for, in the horror of my first thoughts indeed my agony was great, and strong doses of laudanum were necessary to keep down the terrible spasms which fractures of large bones produce. The doctors set my leg crooked, and at the end of a month, when standing up, my feet would not go together one leg went in pleasant harmony with the other half way belween knee and ancle, but they flew off in a huff, at a tangent. This made me very unhappy, and the doctors said if I could bear the pain they would break it again, or bend it straight. My answer was, I will bear anything but a crooked leg. Here then was at seventeen, desperately in love with Miss Massey, having a game leg in prospective, and in love with my leg also so I said to the leg carpenter, let me have one night for consideration.

All that day and night were Miss Massey 's eyes before mine, but not soft and tale telling not saying Pig will you marry me, but scornfully squinting at my game leg. There was Massey, and there was I unable to do anything but hop. The per contra were two ill-lookinu doctors tormenting me, and the reflection that they might again make a crooked job after the second fracture as they had done after the first. However, my dear Miss Massey's eyes carried the day, and just as I had decided, she and her friend, Miss Vandeleur, came in the dusk, wrapped up in men's great coats, to call on me this was just like the plug of a pretty Irish girl, and quite repaid my courageous resolve I would have broken all my bones for her. So after letting me kiss their hands, off the they conveniently can.

In other words BY IKE MARVEL. If in that chair yonder not the one your feet lie upon but the other beside vou closer yet was seated a sweet-faced girl, with a pretty little foot lying upon the earth, a bit of lace running round the throat, and her hair parted to a charm over a forehead fair as any in your dreams, and if you could reach your arm through that chairback without fear of giving offense, and suffer your fingers to play idly with those curls that escape idly down your neck, and if you could clasp with the other hand those little white taper fingers of hers, which lie so temptingly within fprh, and talk so softly and low in the presence of the blaze, while the hours lip without knowledge, and the winter winds whistle uncared for if, in short, you were not a bachelor, but tbe husband of such a sweet image dream, call it, rather would it not le far pleasanter than a cold, single night, sitting counting the sticks reckoning the length of the blaze, and the depth of the falling snow Surely, imagination would be stronger and purer if it could have the playful fancies of dawning womanhood to delight it. All toil would be torn from mind labor, if but another heart grew into this present, soul quickening it, warming it, cheering it, bidding if ever God speed. Her face would make a halo rich as a rainbow atop of all such noisome things as we lonely souls call trouble. Her smile would illuminate the blackest of clouded cares and darkness that now seats you despondent in your solitary chair, for days together, weaving bitter fancies, dreaming bitter dreams, would grow light and thin, and spread and float away, chased by that beloved smile.

Your friend, poor fellow, dies never mind that, gentle clasp of her fingers, she steals behind you teUing you not to weep is worth ten friends. Your sister, sweet dead buried. The worms are busy with all her fairness. How it makes you think earth is nothing but a spot to dig graves upon! She says she will be a sister; and the waving curls, as she leans upon your shoulder touch your cheek, and your wet eye turns to meet those other eyes. God has sent his angel surely.

Your mother, alas for it, she is gone Is there any bitterness to a youth alone and homeless, like this You are not alone. She is there hr tears softening yours, her grief killing yours, and you live again to assauge that kind sorrow of hers Then these children, rosy, fair haired they do not disturb you with their prattle now. They are yours. Toss awaj' there on the green sward. Never mind the hyacinths, the snowdrops, the violets, if so they are there.

The perfume of their beautiful lips is worth all the flowers in the world. No need now to gather wild boquets to love and cherish. Flower, tree, gun, all are dead things. Things lovelier there is a strong disposition to realize and keep within the safest possible limits.

Gen. R. E. Lee, Commanding S. Armies General Your two letters of the 2d were received yesterday.

In regard to any apprehended misunderstanding in reference to the exchange of Eolitical prisoners, I think there need none. Gen. Ord or Gen. Longstreet have probably misunderstood what I said to the former on the subject, or I may have failed to make myself understood rossibly. A few days before the interview between Gens.

Longstreet and Ord I had received a dispatch from General Hoffman, Commissary General of Prisoners, stating in substance that all prisoners of war who were or had been in close confinement or irons, whether under charges or sentences, had been ordered to City Point for exchange. I forwarded the substance of that dispatch to Lieut. Col. Mulford, assistant agent of exchange, and presumed it probable he had communicated it to Col. Robert Ould.

A day or two after an offender, who was neither a prisoner of war nor a political prisoner, was executed, aftera fair, impartial trial, and in accordance with the laws of war, and the usages of civilized nations. It was in explanation of this class of cases, I told Gen. Ord to speak to Gen. Longstreet in reference to my letter of Feb. 1, which will show my understanding on the subject proposed.

Such authority is vested in the President of the United States alone. Gen. Ord could only have meant I would not refuse an interview on any subject in which I have a right to act, which, of course, would be such as are purely of a military character, and on the subject of exchange which has' been entrusted to me.

From the Third Annual Report of the operationsof this road, just issued by the President of the company, George W. Cass, we gather the following interesting facts and figures The gross earnings of the road during the year 1864, from passenger travel, freight, mail transportation, express companies, for use of track by Cleveland and Pittsburg road from Pittsburg to Rochester, rents, were $7, 120,465. 76.

The expenses for transportation, motive power, maintenanceof way, of cars, fec, were $4,101,398 63 leaving a balance of $3,019,067,13. The income net amount as above, amounted to credit of income, from the Cleveland and Pittsburg road, and sale of 16,473 shares of stock aggregating $2,747,300 amounted to 46. The disbursements interest on bonds, $918,845 to pay sinking fund, principal andpremiumonChi-cagodepot, (8 percent. paid dividendsNos. $530, 782 50; amount of construction and equipment, $2,703,741 84 amounted to $4,271,803 93 leaving a balance of $630,653 53.

From this is deducted dividend No. 4, paid January, 1865, out of the income of 1864, six months' interest on three bonds, $56,822 paid for bondsof Akron branch road, $179,829 40- total $440,916 90 leaving a balanceover all payments and liabilities of $189,737 63. The increase of earnings for the year is $1,987,532 02, or 38 and nine-tenths per cent. The working expenses are one and four-tenths per cent, less than the year previous. The present admirable equipment of the road, condition of the track, station facilities, are sufficient to increase the earnings of the present year about a million dollars, and yet it is the desire of the company to add new facilities and additional comforts for the business public and travelers.

These figures undoubtedly indicate an unusual degree of prosperity for this well managed road, and is highly complimentary to the efficient management of its President, Gen. Geo. W. Cass. Patriot and Union.

Marriage of Cousins. Some very interesting facts in connection with the subject of marriages of consanguinity have just been put on record by a French statistician. He carried on his investigations in the town of Batz, in the French department of the Iowa Inferieure. Having selected forty-six cases of consanguineous marriages, he examined the husbands, wives and children, both in regard to their physical and intellectual development, and made inquiries concerning the families examined, and their ancestors, through the assistance of the mayor, pastor, and oldest inhabitants.

Combining the statistics thus collected, hehas found that intermarriages do not bring about disease, idiotcy, or malformation. However, it is important to mark that these results are attributed by the writer to the favorable climate of the locality, and to the general habits, hygiene, and morality of the inhabitants, as well as to the absence of all hereditary disease. The town of Batz issituated upon a peninsula, bounded on one side by the rocks of the sea-shore, and on the other by salt marshes. The air is pure, and the most frequent winds ae from the north, northeast and northwest. The number of inhabitants is about 3,300.

They have little communication with other parts of the country, and their occupation is almost confined to the preparation of salt. They are very intelligent, almost all the adults being able to read. The morality is of the highest stamp, prostitution being unknown.

Captain From tne Central National Reward Offered for their Recovery. On Tuesday afternoon the cashier ol the Central National Bank, Mr. W. H. Foster, received a package of United states 10-40 and 5-20 bonds amounting to $69,000.

This bundle he placed on a tin box behind his desk in his office at the rear of the bank. In a moment after, having occasion to speak to one of the clerks in the banking-room, he stepped inside for a moment. During his absence, a well-dressed stranger, who had been hanging around the rear of the banking-room, for some moments previously, was seen by a boy to slip into the office, take the bundle containing the notes, and immediately leave the bank. The boy did not give the alarm, as he supposed the thief was one of the employes of the bank.
