Sr The origin of the portrait of the
goddess of liberty upon our coins is of
great Interest. Mr. Spencer, tho Inven
tor of Spencer's lathe, used by tho
American bank nolo company, was tho
artist who cut tho first die for our Amer
ican coin. Ho cut an exact medallion
of Mrs. Washington, nnd tho first few
coins wcro struck with her portrait.
When General Washingtonsaw thciuhc
was displeased and requested thoflguro
to bo removed. Mr. Spencer altered
tho features n little, and putting a cup
upon Its head, called it tho goddess of
liberty. AVashington was too modest to
allow of man worship or even woman
worship. Yet now-a-days tho Spimier,
Chases, and all tho underlings oftho pa
per money, must stamp their impudent
faces on tho fraudulent coinage. It is
tho ago of progress.

IS IT COWARDICE OR STU
PIDITY? During the past two months wo hnvo
presented many articles which cxpo:od
the deceptions and knavery of tho fac
tion of conspirators In Congress, who
have overthrown tho Federal Constitu
tion by which tho States of our Union
wcro formed into n grand republic, and
on Its ruins havo attempted to establish
a worso than Turkish despotism. It is
now time that wo should have some
plain talk with tho people, who aro ex
hibitingitmost wonderful apathy, while
the most notorious political charlatans
in the country nro depriving them of
every right whiclwteiuls to enoblo free
born men.
Can it bo credited that constitutional
liberty tho only real liberty which
men in civil communities can enjoy
Is not valued by tho American peo
ple? Call It bo possible that men
who have inherited the most liber
al Institutions which the world has ov
er known caro not for them, and aro
content to sit still while mercenary vil
lains reduce them to a condition of tho
most abject servitude? Nay, is it cred
ible that American citizens havo voted
for their own enslavement and glory in
their debased condition? Wo nro
nwaro that there aro many intelligent
men among us who speak In blltcrtoncs
of censure eoncerninlug tho monstrous
usurpations of tho squad of traitors who
call themselves Congress, and arrogate
to themselves all tho powers of govern
ment, but in any thing ilone, in uny tie
monstration nuule, to resist tyranny f
Do those who cherish the Constitution
and desire its restoration talk as Patrick
Henry did lcs than a century ago, pr
do they act us Washington, Hancock,
Adams, Jell'erson, and their compeers
did, when their civil rights wcro invad
ed? One fact is now manifest beyond con
troversy. It is that tho Americans of
tho present day either ilo not know the
lUffcrcnce between, freedom and slavery or
that they have not the courage to defend
their dearest rights.
Is it not strnngo that men who would
shoot a foot-pad rather thnnglvo him
their pocket-books will remain passive
whilo greater scouiitlrcls rob them of
all that makes life dcsirablo to high-
minded men ?
Hero is a question which we should
Hko to havo candidly answered at the
present timo: WHAT DOES THE
STAR-SPANGLED BANNER REP
RESENT? It would be the most hollow mockery
to pretend that it represents tho great
"Union of sovereign States," which in
former years wo proudly called tho best
government the sun ever shono upon;
and to be consistent wo should craso tho
stars from tho bluo field and substituo
tho crescent, tho ensign of tho infidel,
Turkish despotism ; for our country Is
now ruled by outlaws, who havo no re
spect for law, decency, nor religion.
Havo tho American people prido? Aro
they content to allow tho most notori
ous thieves and scullions in tho land to
destroy all that their fathers toiled
through a seven years war to win, nay
all that their ancestors for ages had been
striving to gain? In tho recent war
hundreds of thousands of men marched
to their death, following "stars and
stripes." Tiioy had been urged to en
ter tho army by tho oft-repeated asser
tion that tho war was for tho pres
ervation of the Union. What Union?
Did, they supper that "tho old flag"
for'whlcli they wero called to sacrifice
their lives was tho ensign of a new des
potism ? How shall wo look in tho rec
ord of history which wo nro making?
Will it not appear that the glory of those
who established our now lost republic
lias been eqaled by tholKv-cncss of those
who have allowed harpies and vultures
to destroy it ?
Thcro many nmonght us who find
somo compensation for tho loss of their
own freedom In tho gratification which
vengeanco upon tho defeated peoplo of
tho South affords them ; but Is undent
able that tho men of that section ex
hibited unusual courago In tho strugglo
for their independence. Can men oftho
North oxult while they show that they
havo not tho manliness to defend their
undoubted rights?
Tho people ofour country must pre
pare themselves to hear somo very tils
agreeable truths, and men of lutellt
genco cannot too Hion begin to recog.
nlzo tho fact that thoy nro Ixcxcitsablo
lftheyinaUo noeflbrt to break tho chains
which crafty villain's nro forging for
them.
Ix tho present pleco of a Congress no
less than seventeen States aro unrepre
sented. Ten nro destroyed nnd nro now
governed by military commissions;
although by our sygtcm of Govern
ment, tho military Is subordinate to tho
civil power. It was upon that pretext
General Jackson was fined nt New Or

BOOTH'S DIARY.
Tho second speech of General Butler,
on tho Surratt murder, which wo print
on our outside, is startling by Its slguill
enncy of deception. Wo propose to ills-
cuss the question In tho light thrown
on It by Butler's charges and Bingham's
denials; and If it fixes tho guilt of
Lincoln's assassination upon prominent
Radicals, It is the fault of the facts, and
not ours.
It cannot have been forgotten, that
at tho timo of tho assassination, Presi
dent Lincoln was suspected of n feeling
of leniency and amnesty and forgive
ness toward tho rebels." It will bo re
membered also, that Chaso and
Wade and Sumner, and other promi
nsnt Radicals opposed his rc-nomina-tlon,
and got up the Cleveland Conven
tion ; and wero only driven to his sup
port nt last, by the calculation of tho
chances In favor of his election nnd
lastly, it is equally well known that
Vice President Johiison,wasthen classed
with tho bitterest Radicals in the land,
and tho clergy made tho occasion ono of
special exhortation, ns to tho servant
whoso work was done, and who had
been called to his reward In good time.
It was not tho first timo tho Radicals
had talked of displacing President Lin
coln. Early in the war, and beforo they
had fully broken him into their meas
ures, they began to cast about for tho
coming man ; and when tho conflict of
arms was over, it became a necessity of
tho situation to be rid of him. Ho was
not In the way of tho conservatives,
nor of tho restoration of tho Union ;
but ho in tho way of Radical pro
gress, as they stylo progress.
It was then that Bootli undertook tho
abduction of tho President, but it must
havo been at tho instigation of some
men of moro political consequence than
any whoso names have so far been cer
tainly connected with tho crime. That
abduction was changed to murder, also
at tho instigation of somo ones who
wcro to profit by tlio change. Now,
Booth's Diavy says that ho propood to
return to Washington, and glvo himself
up, anil clear himself of thisgrent crime.
Ilow clear himself, except by exposing
ills employers? Ho did not live to re
turn, and when his Diary came Into tho
hands of Stanton, ho read it, and Gen.
Butler Intimates that tho War Depart
ment mutilated tho book, by cutting
out eighteen pages. Those pages havo
never seen tho light, probably they
never will. But their ubsenco proves
these things.
First That President Johnson had
nothing to do with the assassination or
tho abduction of Mr. Lincoln. Had it
been otlicrwiso, tho Comniltteo which
has been raking tho country for nearly
two years to find evidence to Impeach
ldm, would havo used Booth's Diary to
furnish tlio testimony.
Second Jefferson Davii is nlo free
from implication in tho death of Mr.
Lincoln. And tho samo argument that
acquits President Johnson, proves Mr.
Davis innocent.
Third Thcro was nothing in tho Dia
ry to convict Mrs. Surratt, or It would
havo been used for tho purposo of man
ufacttuing popular sentiment, if not
for legal evidence.
Tho conclusion is Inevitable. Those
who mutilated tho book had tui object
not to screen President Johnson, Mr.
Davis or Mrs. Surratt, but to protect
themselves. And thoso who needed
protection, wero those who desired tho
death of Lincoln.

PROPERTIES OF WATER.
In glancing over tho broad streams
and small rivulets, tho mind does not
always recall tho various changes pro
duced In this cool and health giving el
ement, when subjected to different sur
roundings. Whon water is heated to
two hundred and ten degrees, (Fnhren
holt's Thcrniometor) nt tho level of tho
sea, It expands almost ono-twelve-hun
dredth of Its own bulk ; raising it two
degrees higher, it bolls overcoming
tho pressuro oftho atmosphere. If wn

niosphcro, when tho Thermometor
stands at ninety or over, or oven nt
much lower temperatures connected
with a moderato wind, It soon saturates
tlio air, which in turn produces show
ers. Tlio law of Chemistry declaring
"tho expansion of matter proportional
to tlio augmentation of temperature,'
Is not npplicablo to water, slnco that
body diminishes In bulk when passing
IntOhteatn; and thohcat being Increased.
At thirty-two degrees water becomes
Ice, tho flakes of which, form angles of
sixty and ono hundred and twenty;
thcso tingles increaso In number as tho

thcro Is so much light reflected from
thoso nngles as to glvo that body tho

than water, henco It swims In that fluid

tecting It from tho cold, nnd preventing
it rroui rrcezing to tho bottom.
Water, like solids, gives out heat
when passing from high to low temper

fracts light, causing objects seen in It to
appear where they are not.
When water Is decomposed Into Its
elements Oxygen and Hydrogen, by
means of tho Galvanic, Battery, its O.V

tho Hydrogen is given off nt the nega

HORRIBLE SOLUTION OF A
MYSTERY.
In tho early part of thomonth of Au
gust last a girl named Eliza Drummond
nbout eleven years ofnge, whoso parents
Iivo hear tho town of West Monroe, in
tills county left her homo ono morning
for tho purposo of picking berries, nnd
novcrieturned. Themost diligent search
was made for her by tho parents and
neighbors, but no.traces could bo found.
Tho event,whlch created a profound sen-
satIonntthotInie,had almost ptisscdfrom
tho niiuikofullsavothostrickcn parents
when it waspninfttllyrecalled by nreccnt
occurrence. On Tuesday last live or six
lads went out hiinlingin tho vicinity,nnd
during theday camo upon a spot wherea
largo number of blacksnnkcswerodiscov
ercd andkilled. Tho appearance of the
reptiles In such numbers and at this sea
son ofthoyear, was considered remarka
ble, and it wns suggested by ono of tho
party thftt a breeding den must bo some
where near. A search wasimmediately
commenced, which resulted in n manner
fardlfi'ercnt from their expectations.
In thesidcof alittlchlll nearthoedgo
of a swamp was found a sort of opening,
which in tho summer wns concealed by
tall grass and bushes. In this opening
was foumlnhuman skeleton, from which
every particle of ilcsh had been taken.
The bones whero as whitoas ivory and all
perfect. Near by was a tin pail in a rust
ed condition, and a tin cup. Tho boys
wcro terribly frightened, and gave tho
alarm. Tho reniaiuswcretakcnfrointhc
mouth of tho den, and nn examination
sliowedthattlioplacehad been, nnd prob
nbly now wns, n breeding place for black
snakes. Tho boldest hesitated to enter.
Tho entrancowhichwas largo enough for
tho admission of a man's body, grew
smaller and tended downward. Lighted
balls of hay soaked in keroseno wero
thrown into tho cavity, and in less than
fifteen minutes eighty-two snakes, rang
ing in length from one and n-half to four
feet, werekilled.
Tlio pail and cup were recognized by
Mr. and Mrs. Drummond as thoso taken
by their child when she went away for
tlio fast time. Tho physicians pronoun
ced tho remains tlioso of a female child,
nud there can bo no doubt that tho poor
littlegirl, whilepickingbcrriesin the vi
cinity of tho spot, became tired, seated
herself in tlio shado of tho opening to

tiles in numbers nnd killed. Tho discov
ery has shocked the whole community.
