Miscellaneous,
Explanatory Remarks of Mr. Hopkins,
OF WASHINGTON COUNTY,
On the resolution for the appointment of a
Committee to Investigate the means used
to repeal the Tonnage Tax, made in the
House of. Representatives’ ‘on. Wednesday,
January 29th :
Mg. SPEAKER :— We havé at last reached
the point in the discussion of this resolu.
tion; to which I have been looking forward,
with some solicitude, for several days, and
that is the yoting point. But, before the
vote be taken, I desire to make s very brief
explanation in reply to what has been said
in reference to the motives which prompted
this resolution.
1t will, perhaps, be recollected that, when
I had the honor of addressing the House a
few days since, [ disavowed, in the mpst un-
qualified manner, any other motive’ than
that set forth in the preamble, that is, ‘* in
order that the truth may be vindicated, and
justice done to all.” Notwithstanding this,
it has been irtimated, both here and else
where, that ‘it might. have been offered
with a view of throwing embarassments in
the way of the Administration’ ints efforts
to suppress the rebellion that is seeking the
overthrow of the Government. I say that
this has been ‘*‘intimated,”’ for those who
arade the suggestion had not the manliness
to avow it openly — bat did so by nuendo.
Mr. Speaker—When such insinuations
are thrown out, I have a nghu to speak, and
I wish to tell these gentlemen that [ hold
my seat upon this floor by the free and un~
solicited suffrages of a constituency compos-
ed of as respectable, as intelligent, yes, and
as loyal men as opn be found anywhere —
And for the information of the gentlemen, I
will add that Aundreds of those who voted
for me are among the very best men of the
same political organization with themselves.
Mr. Speaker- I am not in the habit of
boasting of the position I occupy before the
people of my native county, and I trust that
I may not be 30 understood now, but T must
even at the hazard of such an imputation, be
permitted to tell those who are disposed to
impugn my motives that, beside the united
vote of my own party; aswell as hundreds |
of the best men of the Republican party at
home, I also received a decided majority of
the votes of the brave and patriotic men who
went out from my county at the call of the
President. In one company, that went from
«gy own town, 1 received the unanimous
vote ; in another more than two thuds, and
in others that went from other parts of the
county, about the same proportion. I may
state too, that in all these companies, with,
perhaps, a single exception, a majority were
opposed to we politically, according to the
common acceptation of that term. In the
face of such an expression of confidence in
my fidelity to the Union, on the part of those
who know me best, shall it be insinuated
here that I was actuated by improper mo-
tives in .offering this resolution ? Sir—I
should deew myself unworthy of a seat here,
if I were capable of introducing any propo-
sition witha view of throwing difficulties
in the way ot the Administration,” in its
laudable efforts to crush out this wicked re
bellion., No, sir, L am here for no such ig-
noble purpose, and the people of Washington
county, without distinction of party, would
to scorn the man who would insult
their wtelligence by making such an insin-
uation in their presevce.
My Speaker—Why should I desire to em
88 thé Administration 7 'T do not besi-
to declare 1n my place, that I believe
the President is in the main endeavoring to
discharge his duty faithfully, in the conduct
of this most unhappy conflict. [ believe
that he. dekires to prosecute this war with
an ‘eye to the maintenance of the Constitu
tion and the Union as they were handed
per to us'by our Fathers, and thus be-
Yieving, I would regard myself as recreant to
the high trust reposed in me by a confiding
constituency, did T attempt to throw the
slightest embarrassment in his way. In
saying thus much, however, in reference to
the President, I must not be understood as
endorsing. all that has ‘been done under his
administration. What I wish to convey is
that, in his maniy stand against the vagaries
of fanaticism —which i is seeking to betray
him into the madness of violating the Con*
stitution, in attempting to proclaim liberty
to the slaves, tho President has my cordial
sp) oval.
, I regard tha’ man the most
loyal who: will by his voice ‘and votes give
all the men and means that may be required
to sid the Goveroment in preserving itself
from overthrow, and who will, at the same
timo, denounce fraud and peculation where-
ever and whenever found ; and I will add,
that I consider that man who will take ad
vantage of our domestic troubles to peculate
on the liberality and patriotism of : the peo~
plo; i 00 leas a iraitor to his country, than
He who will take up arms against it, But,
Mr. Speaker, some gentlemen soem to pos-
wea the peculiar facalty of discovering dis.
check the prodigal expenditure of the public
money, or forthe detection of plundering
peculators. Yes, sir, it seems to matter but
ury may be alleged to be, there are those
whose keen perceptions appear to enable |
rebellion on the part of those who seek to!
the vultures who hover about it.
which prompted the resolution may have
been to embarrass the Administration,”’ and
on the other, ‘‘it may be designed to make
political capital’”” for somebody. Now; sir,
I wish to say to all, both here and else
where, that that “dodge” is a little too
transparent to deceive anybody. I trusg
then that we shall have no more of that kind
of argument. Let us, in the truly patriotic
language of the gentleman from Huntingdon
or Cambria, I am not certain which, ° rise
to the dignity of the circumstances that sur-
round us.” Let us, when a proposition is
submitted for our consideration, meet it up-
on 1ts merits, and not stultify ourselves by
impugning the motives of the mover, Let
us not stop to inquire whether it is likely to
“make political capital’’ for this or that par-
ty. All we should desire to know is, has it
merit ? And sir, whenever a measure is
proposed which has for its object the hold
ing up of the President’s hands, in order
that he may be enabled to maintain the
Constitution and the Union inviolate against
the infamous attempt that is being made to
overthrow both, let but one voice go out
from this Hall, and that voice in favor of
standing by the Government at every cost.
and at every hazard. Here, sir, is where I
have long since taken my stand, and there
is no human power that can drive me from
1t— and [ submit whether it would not much
better become us all in this trying hour of
our country’s history, to pursue this course,
than to drag in, on every occasion, the wis
erable party appeals to which the mere poli-
tician resorts.

Pens;
Not for pigs —nor such as when a bey, 1
‘helped to build to catch wild tarkeys in ; I
mean those to write with. A man who
handles an axe, a saw or a plane, daily, from
one month to another, likes the tool with
which he can work the easiest. Many per
sons, as myself, write the greater part of
several days in each week. The implement
of our toil 1s nota small matter. Ag inst
Metallic Pens 1 ought not to get up a cru-
sade, for I use them every day ; I only wish
to put myself right on the Goose Question.
After several hours’ nervous irritation of a
bard, stiff handle and still point, what a re
lief to take up the pliant curve of the screak-
ing Gander ! Quill pens have fallen some..
what into disuse, for two reasons: The
one, that they so soon wear blunt ; the oth
er. by no means every one who handles a
pen can skillfully make or mend. Then to
obtair and retain a good quill pen :
1. Select a quill out of the right wing. A
quill o! the left wing is ever inclined to turn
in the right hand, and must be held to its
place. One from the right wing ex~
actly fits the curve of the forefinger. Try
it, you will see.
2. To make a pen: If you cut a quill oft
square, the end represents the let er O. In
placing the split, do not make it, as com
monly done, at the top of the oval ; your
pen will be constantly in need of mending,
for the two points will not weur alike —make
the split 12 or 15 degrees to the right; this
adapts the split to the inclination of the let-
ters.
3. Make the split and the tapering points
much longer than you commonly sce--your
pen will last better, and will mo ¢ uniformly
lot down the ink.
4. In mending, do not cut away so that
you must make a new split. Take the thin-
nest paring off each side, then a nib off the
extreme point, and it is a better pen than
when new. You may mend thus a dozen of
times on the same spht.
5. Wken done writing, leave your pen in
the ink —it is then always pliant and ready
for use, “0, but it will get so soft there
can be nothing done with it!’ Facts are
stubborn things : The pen I had before the
one now in use, staid in the ink more than
two years, and would have lasted me two
years longer, had not a house cleaning acci-
dent befallen it. My quill pens, like um~
brellas, never wear out, or die of old age—
some catastrophe overtakes the valued feath-
er, and then trouble comes. How can I get
another, which will exactly fit the hand.—
Briefly, Rereasep Boy.

A letter is published from Mr. Seward to
the Gevernor of the State of Maine, explam-
little now gross the frauds upon the Treas | ing the reason why he directed the United
| States Marshal and other Federal officers
| throughout that State to permit the landing
them to scent out a latent sympathy with the | at Portland of British troops, and their safe
conduct through the State to Canada. Mr.
Seward says that the State Department hav.
bound for Portland, was telegraphed off
Cape Race, and that she had on hoard a
number of British troops bound for Canada,
the disvatch inquired whether the troops
shonld be dealt with by the Federal authers
ities like ordinary passengers, and the See
retary intimated that they should be per
‘mitted to pass on to their destination. He
was influenced in the matter by the consid
eration that much suffering and risk through
the snow and ice of a northerly voyage might
be spared to troops by allowing them to
travel over the Grand Trunk Railroad, con-
ceiving that when humanity or ¢ven conven:
ience renders it desirable that the troops of
a friendly nation should have a passage
through the territory of another nation, it is
a customary act of comity to grant permis”
sion and he cites as an evidence of this
principle, the privilege which the United
States enjoy of transporting troops across
the Panama Railroad through New Grena-
da, and it is thus deemed only right by our
Government to accord the same privilege to
Great Britain, France, and all other friendly
nations.
Assuming that there was no danger to be
apprehended fron. the passage of the Brit
ish tioops, and assaming farther, that—de-
spite the ** popular asperities” manifested
in Canada and in the British Isles against
this country —Great Britain is still to be res
garded as a friendly Power, he saw no reas
on for withholding permission for the pas
sage of her soldiers and munitiens. The
Grand Trunk Railroad, which runs through
United States Territory, he considers as a
monument of the friendly disposition of Ene
gland, and the reciprocity treaty with OCan-
ada he regards in the same light. if, how-
ever, the State of Maine should have ang
objection to the ins'ructions of the State De)
partment, Mr. Seward savs he is perfectly
willing to modify them, as the Federal Gov-
ernment recognizes the respect it owes to
the rights and interests of every State. As
the troops never landed at Portland. no 1s-
sue has been raised by the Governor of
Maine on the subject ; but it will be admit-
ted that the course adopted by Mr. Seward
in the matter was magnanimous and saga-
cious.

Tue ErvrrioN oF Mr. Vesuvios.—A City
DestrROYED.— The terrible eruption of Ves-
uvius continued at last accounts, and two-
thirds of the city of Terree is said to have
Tern destroyed. A letter dated Naples
Dce. 28, says:
Covered with snow, vomiting ashes still
like a ten thousand horse power factory
chimney, with a ruined eity lying at its feet.
such is the spectacle which Vesuvius at this
moment presents The municipal building
a fine old historical edifice of the time of the
Arragons had been destroved. Out of a
population of 22 000. 15.000 are fugitives.
Between fifty aud sixty houses have already
fallen, aud three hundred and fifty are fall-
ing ; the rest are more or less injured. Out
of eleven churches four only are uninjured ;
but there is another fearful source of danger
—the sulphurous exhalations which are
emitted in every direction, and which ren-
der honses, 10 other respects comparatively
safe, nninhabitable. By these exhalations
five or six persons, and all the animals. such
as cats, dogs, mice, and the fishes in the
Sea, have already been kil'ed. In fact, two-
thirds of the city have been destroved.

ATHENS. — Byron's words about
but living Greece no more,” one just return
ed from there says, are * played out” —
Athens is truly a beautiful city. Its inv
habitants are among the most polished, the
most enterprising, the most intelligent, in
the world. Its population is little over
thirty thousand, yet it supports no less than
three daily papers, besides several weeklies
and a Punch. 1t has a university of six
hundred scholars and twenty odd professors
where lectures in purer Greek than that of
the New Testament are delivered, a Museum
of fine Arts, an Academy after the model of
that of Paris, and a very tolerable Opera.—
The ** first families” read Xenophon with-
out a dictionary, and the streets are chris-
tened and laneled after the ancient gods and
heroes. The Greeks are unrivaled for com
me cial energy, They have nearly (three
thousand vessels afloat, and their enterprise
and ‘go aheadativeness’’ have become a
proverb in the east. Nowhere else is the
spirit of material progress more manifest
than among this clever but rather unscrupu-
lous people.— Boston Post.

The Soldier’s Tear.
Upon the hill he turned,
To take a last fond look
Of the valley and the village church,
And the cottage by the brook ;
He listened to the sounds
So familiar to his ear—
And the soldier leaned upon his sword,
And brushed away a tear.
Beside the cottage porch
A girl was on her knees,
She held aloft a snowy scarf,
Which fluttered in the breeze ;
She breathed a prayer for him—
A prayer he could not hear—
But he paused to bless her as she knelt,
And wipe awa} a tear.
He turned and left the spot;
Oh, do not deem him weak!
For dauniless was the soldier's heart,
Though tears were on his cheek.
Go, wateh the foremost rank,
In danger’s dark career—
Be sure the hand most daring there
Has wiped away a tear.

The New Secretary.
The Washington correzpondent of the N.
Y. Times, thus describes the personal ap-
pearance of Mr. Stanton :
The new Secretary of War, Mr. Stanton,
is a stout thick-set man, about five feet
eight inches high, and apparently about for-
ty years of age. Hair and beard very black
the latter worn thick and long. His head is
set very erect upon his shoulders, if anything
a little thrown back. His face is round and
solid in expression, with blunt features.—
His address is prompt and practical ; his
voice full, distinet and nomusical. He has
never studied the art of pleasing, and has
not the gift of paying compliments in con-
versation, An exhibition of is thought-
legsuess mn this regard was manifested on
Monday. when the officers of the army cal-
led te pay ther respects to him on his in
duction into office. in officer well sprin
kled with gray, but yet with quite a vigorous
step and clear eye, was presented to Mr.
Sienton, The latter recognized him, and
shook him warmly by the hand, saying:
“1 remember you well. 1 saw you many
years ago, when you were in the prime of
life. and 1 was a little boy about se high.”
And the new Sceretary measured with “his
hand, as he said this, an imaginary lad of
net over ten years old. The sturdy old
general turned and walked off without a
word in reply evidently not thinking himself
so old as Mr. Stanton’s remarks would have
implied.

The IMPORTANCE OF CURRYING ANIMALS
—1It is well known that every hair, whether
long or short. is covered with numerous lit
tle barbs or fishhooks, and therefore, when
a number of hairs are brought in contact
with each other, and moved back and forth,
they will work in among each other, and of-
ten form a mass so tangled—like the mune
of a colt, which our ancestors have often
taught us to believe were the stirrups of
witches which were accustomed to ride
them in the dark nights—that it is difficult
to entangle them. The only means that
cattle have of scratching themselves many
times is to apply their tongues; and when
the hair comes off, as it many times does, by
the handful, more or less of it will adhere to
their tongues, aud many times finds its way
into their stomachs ; and the reciprocating
motion of tho stomachs of ammals which
hair into a peliet, and, as more hair was ta-
ken into the stomach from day to day, it
would be very sure to all collect in one mass,
Now, when an animal begins to shed its
coat of hair there appears more or less irri~
tation of the skin, and if the card or curry
comb is vot used pretty freely the tongue
must be applied : and fap animal is well
curried every aay, when ic is shedding its
coat, it will be far less liable to collect hair
in its stomach.

From New York An Panadent Demand
from Jeff. Davis.
New York, Feb. 5
The Washiugluu curtvapuidons wk
New York Herald says, the flag of truce
from rebeldom covered an impudent de.
wand, such as should not be countenanced
in honorable warfare. The message is said
to have been from Jeff. Davis to President
Lincoln, announcing that if the Federd
Government permit the rebe! bridge burners
to he hung under the orders of General Hal-
leck, that the Federal prisoners, Colonels
Corcoran, Lee, Wilcox and others, held as
hostages for the safety of the pirates, shall
be 1nmediately hung in retaliation. A cab-
inet meeting was called to consider the sub
jeet, but Tam requested not to announce the
result. Jeff. Davis will learn it soon enough.
1t is probable that the news of the recent
order of the War Department, directing the
privateersmen to be regarded as prisoners of
war had not ‘reached rebeldom when this
last message was sent from Richmond.
The sentiment expressed by those who
know the purport of the message is, that the
officer who brought it, thereby disgracing
the flag of trace, should have been retained
and hung with the bridge burners.
The dispatch in a New York paper to day
that Gen. Scott is about to proceed to Mex
ico as a special agent of this Government, is
nothing but speculation. I am authorized
to say that Mr. Corwin will continue in
Mexico with full and exclusive power to act
for this Government. Gen. Scott's move:
ments point in another direction.

The Adventures of an Editor with Funds
to Invest.
Jones, the * gay and incomparable’ ¢* lo-
cal 7 of thc Harrisburg Patriot and Union,
gives the following thrilling account of the
trials and tribulations that beset him on a
recent trip to Philadelphia, to invest his
spare funds in the 7 3.10ths National Loan :
Having withdrawn our deposits from the
various banks in this city, we prepared to
leave by the 9.45 train on Thursday morn~
but owing to an accident on the road,
that train did not arrive until late in the
afternoon. We did not like this much, no
how, as the danger of going into the city af.
ter night-fa 1 with a large sum of moriey is
imminent, so many pickpockets usually be.
ing congregated about the depot. To avoid
them, we got off at West Philadelphia, and
took the horse car. No sooner had we
entered than we were surprised to see a big
whiskered fellow also enter. This man was
evidently a pickpocket. At Downington he
asked us for the loan of a dime. under the
pretext that he had no change--an unsuc-
cessful ruse to see where we kept onr pile. --
We had about a square to walk to the Liotel,
and in that distance quite a number of re.
speciable looking men jostled against us—
all pickpockets, of course— but we had our
overcoat buttened closely over our money.
which was principally in $1,000 bills, and
didn’t make much bulk. Arrived at the
Washington House, we handed our money
to put in the safe. Some chap who stood
behind us said in an undertone :
+ Going to fight the tiger—pays
for fear he’ll get broke.”
We did not rebuke this impudence and ig-
norance both, but young Glass soon discov «
ered that he bad a big thing on deposits in
his safc 2nd he placed his mo-t confidential
porter in charge. After a feverish night's
sleep. in whi h we dreamed all’ sorts of
dreams of big whiskered brigands, killing
the porter and robbing the safe, we made
our way down stairs to find much to our joy
that everything wa right. Br the time we
had taken breakfast, the fact that a solid
man had arrived was pretty much known,
but how it leaked out we could net tell. —

world, for three of them formed a ecnspira -
cy, and refused to sell us Forney's Press for
less than five cents, when the printcd retail
price on it is only two cents.
After getting rid of all these little annoy-
ances, we relieved Glass of any further re.
sponsibility by taking our package, and
starting for the office of Jay Cooke, the
Government agent. A number of persons
followed in our wake but it was broad day-
light, and a large number of detectives

street so that we really felt no fear, exeept
in passing the State House, were the paves

stuffers and plug-ugly plundérers. We
reached Cooke's in safety. In anticipation
of our visit, the office was fall, but they
parted like the waves in the Red Sea,
the children of Israel made a pass over, and
we marched up to the counter in triumph,-—
Cooke stood behind the counter with a pen
behind his ear, and bowing so low that his
head almost touched the marble top, of the
counter he commended our patriotism in
coming to the rescue of the Government, as
well as our foresight, in taking care of Nums

a plethoric money market has reduced the
current rates to six
On our return to the hotel, we found the
card of Dr. Jayne, who no doubt wanted to
foist some of his Chestnut street real estate
upon us, but our spare cash, all that we
couid spare out of our business, was inves-
ted, and-—we are on hand again.
