I rom r paragraph iq Dawsons Fori Wayne Weekly’Time*, we sketch the following in relation tu the bounties offer ed by counties and county fioaaaes. ‘ The . people of the Counties are interested in taking care of their own finances, and unless this County Shall turn a deaf ear to the Entreaties of the Abolitionists bank-; ruptcy will be here. Some of the neigh- ' boring counties, to wit." Adams will sooner or later find herself involved under a tax too grtevious io be born. It is true that Adams County paid thirty thous and three hundred Dollars in bounties , and fourteen thousand Dollars to the families of Soldiers in the service, but the tax is not too grievous to be borne. It is al! paid but eight thousand dollars Judicious management will enable any county to pay reasonable bounties find not overtax the citizens. C ireful in apection will no doubt show that retrenchment can be made in other expenditures in Allen County. THE NEWS. Monday February 22. Gen. Sherman’s forces Lad a skirmish , Dear Jackson, Mss, with 4,000 or 5.000 . rebels, in which the latter were defeated. . The rebels retreated across Pearl Hirer, • leaving their pontoons and two cannon in the band* of the Federal*. Gen 1 Sherman pressed forward, reachin j Meridian in ten days after the eommencemr nt , of his movement, a portion of Gen Tut- , tie's division, not keeping up with the main body, were cut off, and have return ed to \ icksburg. Gen. Me Arthur is in t command at that point, Gen. Me Pherson j having accompanied Gen. Sherman. Later.—a rumor prevails in Louisville to ' the effect that Gen. Sherman, had defeated Polk at Brandon, Miss , and had taken 12,000 prisoner*. The Federal expedition in Florida has , capture<! thirteen cannon, and destroyed t about §1,500,000 worth of proper y. The rebel forces in the State number about , 2.500, under Gen Finnegan. It is thought that they will mak» a stanl, if anywhere upon the Suwanee River. There are reports that Beauregard is marching to T il-: khassee, with a considerable force, and that Lake City is being garrisoned bv ; Georgia troops. Ger, Gilmore has is- I sued a proclamation calling upon the 1 h loridians to return to their allegiince. Refugees from Mobile report that theie are 15,000 troops in and around that city and that the inhabitants feci secure ■gainst successful attack. a racin’. Federal reccnnoisance to John•ton’s Island near Charleston, resulted in the capture of a battery of .field pieces from the rebels. European dates are to the 7.h inst The Dams Lad evacuated Schleswig, and were being pursued by the Germans. Severe fighting was believed to be in pro gresr. Earl Russell had slated in the House of Lorde, that not the slightest; promise of assistance bad been given to Denmark by England. The Etnper< rN apoleon had intimated that be slujuld not interfere in the difficulty. Complaint having been made that Q lies Victoria’s speech did not refer to American affairs Lord Palmerston replied that there was nothing new to ear. Earl-Derby, in a speech io Parliament, repudiated Mr. Sewards, idea of holding Great Britain responsible for tho Depredations committed by the Alabama. It appears that by the English bombardment of Kigosima, Japan, 1,500 persons were killed and 85,000,000 worth of property destroyed. FROM BALTIMORE. Baltimore Feb. 13. A morning paper publishes the follow ing The express passenger train which left the Chambers street depot 'I hursday night for Wheeling was captured by a company of guerrillas hear Kcarnev svi k* Depot, eight indes west of I lai per s I errv. The train was then surrounded by the rebeh, and a number of anned men entered the cars. The passengers among whom there was great more or less molested in Hie way of rsnsoms-wme prodmreel greenbacks, others watche«, diamond pins. A'.. ■

- equivalents for their liberty. We are informed by one of the sufferers who returned by the express train yesterdav, that the aggregate amount of money taken was not less than 830,000, while the value of the jewelry was much greater. , Conductor Eerry, who had charge of the train, it was stated, was compelled to . hand over a check for 84,000 the property of the company. A number of passengers who arrived yesterday had interviews with seine of the passengers of the captured train. Their statements widely differ, both as t ? the nmount of money, <fcc , confiscated, and the character of the raiders. It is said that Major Harvey Gilmore, of the rebel cavalry, was in command. No one was hurt, nor was there the slightest dis- ■ position on the part of the rebels to take 1 any prisoners. Swci'ii! !iivnkt?€?rs of tlis Nlarvltind I.?**islature, delegates from the western. counties, were among the passengers. After accomplishing their purpose, they ran the locomotive off the track, causing some injury. They then left the train, going toward Smithfield Va Although a company of Federal troops were within a short distance, none of the passengers were able to get any information to them in time. The robbery of the affrighted passc-n-. gers was vtry general; not one of them escaped. One man is said to have lost over S 1,000 in greenbacks. The passengers made no resistance, supposing they were surrounded by an overwhelming force of rebels. A good many threw their articles and money away, some of which have since been found. LINCOLN TO WAR DEMOCRATS. We find the following paragraph in a recent letter from the regular Washington corres[K>ndcnt of the Newark (N. J.) Advertiser, a Republican paper. “Speaking of New J ersey reminds us that some time since one of the Democratic members of your delegation in Congress called upon the President upon some business, and in conversation upon general matters, remarked to Mr. Lincoin that he was with the Administration upon two points, he would vote all the men and money wanted to put down the rebellion; to which the President very eooliv replied, Give me men and money, and I wifi whip the rebels and you too!” Good for Old Abe! There never was a more striking and pointed illustration ■ of War Democracy than Lincoln himself gives. Here is a man who goes to him and tells him be disagrees with him as to the entire policy he is carrying out, is utterly opp sed to the principles he is aimir"*to establish; and concludes by telling, him, “but no milter, I am agrtel with you. Mr. President, upon two points; I am in favor of giving you all the men and money you want to put down these who are resisting the enforcement of those j principles. R-member, lam distinctly opposed to the principles you are carrying on, as much opposed to them as any man be, but then I think that all who will not subtr.il.tn your carrying them out ought to bo shot hanged, confiscated, die &e.” This is a War Democrat. Is he no*, the funniest biped that ever lived? No wonder Old Abe pats him on the back and says, good boy, give me the men and money and I will whip the rebels, an 1 I you too.” —*Veu> York Diy Book.
