In cold weather it dries'slowly, forms u hard, gkssy coat, tmgh like glass, while if applied in warm vwnrhn-. the oil strikes into the wool, leaving the'’ paint so dry that it is rapidly beaten oil' by mi us, Relieved.— By au order from the War department issued last week, Major Hast ings 5a relieved from command at Carlisle Barracks. Immediately upon the receipt of this order Major Hastings turned over the command to Lieut. 11. T. McLean, of the Cth C. S. Cavalry, who is the next ranking uffi c*r. Wo believe it is the intention of tiic B ar Department to place Major IT. on the retired list. Captain I). P. 11 uncock, of the Ttii L r . S. Infantry is, by w.rtue of an order from Washington, placed in command ofihe Volunteer camp, which lias h<,-ret"lbro been attached to Carlisle Barracks. The Draft.— Friday last was the day ap pointed by the President fur the enforcement of the draft for 700,000 men, and we under stand that the Provost Marshals have re ceived instructions to prepare themselves ac cordingl}7. As Carlisle is yet lacking a few men to complete her quota, no would urge our citizens to exert them-dves to the ut most during the short interval and procure the necessary number to save our t w, n IV.an the stigma of a draft. 4*3' continuing the bounties to the last moment and increased exertions on the part of th wh i have the matter in hand, we feel ir;fi bait that the object will bo accomplished. Other (owns have done so and succeeded. Tuc Court House Sijuare. —Wo notice that our County Commissioners have at last determined to improve and beautify tiio square on* which the Court House is erected. The condition of this square for the last number of years was indeed horrible. .Im mediately after a heavy rain large ponds of water would collect therein, which would re main there for several days—and oometimt 8 'weeks—looking more like a place for pigs to wallow in than a public square. It has also been made a resort by the boys of the town to indulge in thoir daily sports, and by the numerous “ quack-peddlers,” who very fre quently visit our town to humbug the people. But.wo are glad to know that this nuisance will be no longer .tolerated. Workmen are ’now engaged in filling up the muddy hollows and making the entire square as level as a new tloor. We hope the day Is nob far dis tant when this square will b? as much ad mired as the two others on the opposite side. The Mill, i a of ISG2. —It has at last been determined to pay off the militia of 18**2. which will, no doubt, bo good news to these who were connected with that organization. The muster rolls have been sent to Washington for examination by the proper authorities, who have accordingly placed them into the hands of the chief paymaster and ordered that officer to have them executed. Acting under these orders, the chief paymaster has divided the State into three districts, and ap pointed a sub-paymaster for each district, who are empowered .to appoint assistants for each county-in their respective districts.— They are also required to give due notice In the county newspapers, designating the time and place when said payment will bo made. Cumberland county, which sent seven com panies, is placed in the 2d district, Major McPu-.ml, paymaster. Tobacco Culture. —The farmers of Lan caster count}’ are turning their attention to tobacco culture. Ono farmer has sold his crop, the product of throe and a half acres, fur $1,050. It is estimated that the crop Tuis'cd in the county last year was worth $1,500,000. The price paid in Lancaster Is from eight to twenty cents, ns to quality- A Wninv Shot.— The Fnyolto county Ge nius of DiheWy relates a painful accident which .happened recently in the family of Air. .Janies 0. Ramsey, from Springfield township, from the careless handling of fire arms. Mr Ram sey was handling a loaded gun outside the house,when, by some accident, it was dis charged, the hall passing through a window into tho house, striking Mrs. Ramsey in the face and penetrating to tho back part of her head. At latest accounts tho unfortunate was living, but unable to speak, 'JW-lw'A From the breaking r, ur o{ the rebellion, in - til tho present lime, there hai' not been a week that the leading A!'. <l.tloni-td cl' tho country have not pmliotcl v.-i.en ?t v (•time ton i' t ! >: 1.1 oi >■ and m- ima. dilation. — •J n> fc now v, o arc assured Dr t I-..0n Guaxt will malv work of it.-md ibat the be- 0 ginnbig of summer will •i r ibe > at hem Con* federaev mel'inep away like bwatli into the wind. We wish that, we i-mill see things in this light, bat we can’t. Cm the contrary, we have reason to apprehend that our troubles have not yc-t reached their worst; we have In three years, gone through much that was bad, but it looks as if the future Avere likely b? be even worse. Cij, f'JACV Napoleon's operations in Mexico are un i[Uiwti"iiably alarming, and our Adminis tration Is beginning to think so ; but of 1 1 1 c lofiv tone becoming the inheritors- ol the. “ Monroe.

Is this the tone becoming a nation like this and upon a subject involving such vast con sequences as the establishing of a monarchy across the Kio Grande? It is evident to ns that our Administration' Is paralysed : it stands petrified, unable to even firmly protest aga-flist tho inroads of the aspiring Frenchman.— Uven tins gentle objection, upon the part of Congress, is decidedly hostile in comparison to Mr. SnwA’io's milk mid water dispatches upon the same subject. • Dot tt/e alarming part of this business is that our Government slmuM have permit-id *!;'* French to lay M<'X ho protratc without interfering. When Nv ro,r:o.\'s designs upon this comment were made manifest, then was (lie time for us (o nip them in tho bud; waiting two years, un til ids armies overran Mexico and made him Conqueror, looks as if our Administration fa vored bis usurpation. But whether it did or not, it will soon have to net; and this brings us back to our lir.st retlcctiun regarding the probable tcnuiuatiou of tho Southern rebel- NAiMi.r.oNhs tactics now, regarding his Mex ican dependencies, is to compel our govern ment to acknowledge his Viceroy, Maxim if.- max', ns King of Mcxie >, or he will acknowl edge the Southern Con'cleracy. This is his game in a nut-shell. Is our Administration prepared f.r U? or has it squandered its time and the people’s moan*, in scheme* for the suppression of its own people? It cannot openly acknowledge the now Monarchy, but it may give private consent to it; and this is most likely what such an Administration as ours would do. But, should Mr. Seward, in becoming terms, protest against the inva sion of oar Mo.vii'/i: Doctrine” and Mato-- i.r, :s in return acknowledge-the independence of the South, then Como* the rub. Instead, then of having only the rebels to light, we wmi 1 I have Francc-and Mexico to back them : and it is not improbable that la this condition will we came at la-t. II we do have to en counter this alliance, what will be to blame? A\ hy the 101 l spirit ul Abolition ism, which has protracted the war for its own infernal pur poses. Hud Abolitionism allowed hostilities to proof xl as they began, simply for the res toration of the Union there would have been Union men enough in the Southern States to have brought them back into the Union, lung before the French Emperor succeeded in his designs upon Mexico ; but our Administra tion was not able for the crisis, and behold I the consequence of its inability. So says the Pittsburg iW. Lite or Puesihent Lincoln'. —The Life, Speeches, Proclamations, Acts, and Services ol President Lincoln, is the title of a new w. rk about to be issued by T. 13. Peterson A Brothers, Philadelphia.— Exchange. M ell, really, if the book contains a true re port (if Lincoln’s speeches and wise sayings, it will rank with the celebrated works of “Pussy in a Corner,” “ Mother Goose,” Ac. i’he life and speeches of Abrbiiam Lincoln! Is jt not wonderful that this vain, weak man is not uwaro that he is laughed at by the world, and lias been spoken of as a‘“ mud turtle” by many men of sense of his own treasonable party? The speech lie made when ia Congress, in which he attempted, in hia own weak way, to argue in favor of se cession and treason, will wc presume, form a chapter of the Peterson A Brothers book. Then several of his smart sayings should have a conspicuous place—they are so statesman like and elegant. For instance—“ it is easi er to pay a-amall debt than a big one “it is easier to pay when you have the money than when you Iravc none “ the blacks of the South after obtaining their freedom can come North, and the same number of white men can leave the North and go South.— Therefore it will only be a change of posi tion.” These anti many other elegant extracts from Abe’s writings should be carefully com piled for the new book. Then his letter to a General out west, directing him to give a certain rascal heavy contracts, without ad vertising and in a secict manner, thus ena bling said rascal to swindle the Government to the tunc of $BOO,OOO, should also appear in the woik. The life and speeches of Abra ham Lincoln ! "Who will not after this con sider it ills privilege to publish his life and services ? The price of the work is 50 cents, but even at this low rate wb fear the Peter eorPs will find themselves minus the amount they expended in its publication. 317” The following from the Buffalo Cour ier ehbwa how tho Olusteo disaster is regar ded by the army in Florida: An officer in a Mew York regiment, en gaged in tho recent Florida fight, writes as follows to a relative in this city: “ I have had my foot shot off ami may lose part of my leg, all for being a delegate to the finl political convention Abe Lincoln held in I'lorula." O* Gold closed yesterday at 170 J, ■ M) (i!' ldih.klXLl.lbA certain to V.iio Iliivc Ikclared ami Fuvorul Disunion? “We hold that the secessionists could have had a peaceful dissolution of the Union had they really desired it, and had the peo ple of their States, after a free and fair dis mission, decided to separate from the Union. So we told them at the time'; so some of the leading Republican journals told them —all in pood faith. ■ President" Lincoln.'Governor Morgan, and nearly all of us, openly favored a convention of the States, which (and which • j only, as tho disunioniets well know,) would, have had,power to decree a peaceful dissolu tion of the Union.” — 2\ r ow York Tribune. There it is — says tho Cleveland I lain Dealer —the bold, undisguised declaration of Horace Greeley that not only himself, but President Lincoln, and “ nearly all” of tho Republicans were in favor of a peaceful dis solution <T tho Union. Moreover, Greeley avers that they so told the secessionists. — This, it is to bo observed, is no declaration made some time ago, but is published in Mon day's issue of tho Tribune. There isn’t a “ loyal” sheet in the country which will have the hardihood to deny that Greeley has now made free confession of his guilty complicity with tho Southern rebels, and charged Lin coln with being parlicips criminie . When it is remembered that the Southern leaders in rebellion arc charged with having been plotting tho groat revolt for years, it should be graven in characters of fire upon tho mem ory of tho American people, that with full cognizance, of tho designs gf Davis, Yancey, Toombs, Sc G 0.,, the loading Republicans, I through thcinnouth-picco, assured them that they might peacefully dissolve. The strong fact demonstrated by this confession is that the Republican party really coveted the dis ruption of cur glorious Union ; it ardently thirsted for a division of the nation, rather than there should bo any further participa ; ! ti'in of the Smith in the public councils. Wo ; have-now tho very key to tho nnti-slavory c;:cilemont which was fomented by journals and stump speakers. It sprung from ’ no genuine hatred of slavoiy, and no genuine philanthropy for tho negro, but was a more engine used to bring about a separation.— Tiiß \uis the real object (if the statistics so oi ion pr.-pared by Wendell Philips to show thr.t l.mh North and South would he bettered I by dN-'dving political connection. This was the object of Mr. Lincoln’s celebrated argu ment in favor of tho right ofpvcn a segment of a State to revolutionize. This was the object of the bitter invectives in Congress against the South, winding up thc-taunt that “ the South couldn’t bo kicked out of the Union.” For this object such men as Thomp son were imported to widen tho breach, and such legislation as the “ pojhngial liberty bills” made chronic, and the foolish enthusi ast John Drown urged on to his mad raid in Virginia. It may be asked what has brought about a change in the sentiments' of these men ? W a reply that there is no real change. Tho terrible recoil after the Grim; on {Sum ter, sacred the Abolitionists, and the hope now of utterly subjugating and crushing out the thuilbcrn people, placing negro soldiers aver, them, and sharing with these black troops in o. general plunder of Southern es- besides the immediate enjoyment of all the offices, emoluments and pickings incident to the war, make them for tho present prate of Union, but at heart they are ns honest and absolute traitors as they ever were, A pretty set of follows to bo denouncing •.KlT,’Davis and the Confederates! Mrs. President Linenln-s Sislrr. Wo inn -I injustice apologize lo the Tribinu ■ for refusing our credence to lo its story, that .Mrs. ,J. T idd White, a sister of .Mrs. Lincoln who went Smith by way of Fortress Monroe, ni.ibed her and carried contra band g-od* in several l.irg»j trunks, so giving aid and comfort lo the enemy. The facts arc as the Tribune stated them —are even worse ; and in apologizing.to that journal ibran incredulity which its habitual mendacity regarding political < ppononts lias created and fostered in our minds, wc have no other alternative than to restate the facts precisely as they arc painful as it may be to any loyal American to join that fanucal jour nal in any course, or to indorse its impo vch me.nt of the chief magistrate of the United States for '.insisting openly in giving direct aid and comfort to £he armed enemies of the Union. The facts then arc these, and wc make no comment upon thorn ; for if they do not, in themselves, make the heart of every patriotic northern man and woman shudder without them, than the fanaticism of the time has drugged the North into an insensibility which nothing can arouse: Mrs. J. Todd White, a sister of Mrs. Prcs ; ident Lincoln, was a rebel spy and sympathi zer. When she passed into the confederacy a few days ago, by way of Fortress Monroe she carried with her in her trunks, all kinds of contraband goods, together with medicine, papers, letters, etc., which will bo doubt’ess of the greatest assistance to those with whom she consorts. When Gon. Butler wished to open her trunk ns the regulations of transit there prescribe, this woman showed him an autograph pass order from President Lincoln enjoining upon the Federal officers not to open any of her trunks, and not to subject the hearer of the pass, her packages, parcels or trunks to any inspection or annoyance. Mrs White said to Gen. Butler, or tho officers in charge there in substance,, as follows : “My trunks are filled with coutrband, but I defy you to touch them. Hero,” (pushing it undorthciv noses) “ here is the positive order of your mas ter I” Mrs. White was thus allowed to pass with oul-tiio inspection and annoyance so peremp torily forbidden by President Lincoln in an order written and signed by his own hand and to-day the contents of his wife’s sister’s trunks are giving aid and comfort to the ene my—nor least in the shock which these facts will give to the loyal hearts whose hopes and prayers and labors sustain the cause which is thus betrayed in the very White House.— Kcic York World.

Tho Doctor shortly after the occurrence administered chloroform to his horse, and removed the poisoned part of the won lids with a knife. It appears that one of tiio dog's teeth had made an incision under the horse's lip, which escaped the Dr's, notice, and from this, tho dreadful infection spread. On Sunday last tho disease began to manifest itself, and by Sunday evening tho spasms were so severe that tho animal was shot to end its misery. We have noycr known of such a wide-spread alarm on tic-, count of this terrible disease ns exists in near ly all parts of our county just now.

' John ‘Williamson, Esq.. Samuel Hepburn, Esq. vs. JoeLShaplcy.—This was an action upon the following facts: On tho 3d of April, 1854," plaintiffs conveyed to defendant by deed with covenant of general waranty, tho undivided half of 83 acres of land in Ship pensburg township, lor $1,720. On tho same day tho defendant executed two judgment ’bonds, one for J?5?20, and the other $5OO, pay able Ist of April, 1855, with interest from date, it being for balance of purchase monev. It was admitted that ono of tho bonds should have been made payable April, 1850. De fendant had in his possession the bond for $520, it having boon paid, as ho alleged, in April or May, 1854. ,On tho 30th of May, 1801, judgment was entered on tho hood for $5OO, and an execu tion issued in November, 1803. On petition of Defendant setting forth the payment of $3OO, on tho 20th of July, 1854, and $75 on tho 17th of November, 1854, and that ho was entitled,»under the article, to credit for tho plaintiffs share of tho grain in the ground at tho time of tho execution of the deed, (which was about $100,) the execution was stayed by tho Court, and tho defendant let into a de fence. The plaintiffs admitted the payment of the $375, hut alleged that it was upon tho first of tho bonds, and objected to allowing credit for a share of tho grain because the land was leased for a rent payable in money, and for the long delay of proceeding to col lect the debt, they gave ns a reason that the title to tiie land was in dispute and was not finally settled until 18G0. Tho amount claimed was $5OO, with interest from 3d of April, 1854. Tho verdict of tho jury was in favor of tbo plaintiffs for $$S.

The present plaintiffs afterwards and before ,tho expera tion of the extension, attached some bunds given by tho purchaser, of real estate in Car lisle, situate on tho north west corner of pub lic square. It was contended on the part of the defendants, that tho plaintiffs course of procceduro was a fraud upon tho other credi tors, and the going behind the agreement was in bad faith towards them,'and therefore should not recover. On tho other hand it was contended that the agreement not hav ing been signed by all the defendants credi tors, that tho rest, that is those who had signed, wore liberated from tho binding force of it.

Charles' Lindluirst having boon in tho army, had the misfortune to he wounded in tho service, lost his leg, which disabled him from procuring his livelihood by manual labor, and some of his friends furnished him with domestic or white wiao, anil beer. It appears that the defendants believed that as they had taken out a U. S. license, they had the right to soil liquor, <te, hut tho Court decided (and the law expressly says) that it confers no such right when reg ulated by tho Slate laws. They were too anxious to get along, and, and unconsciously excedcd their limits.

Upon their meeting again on the Ist of February, defendant said that ho was $5 short, but would give his note for that; handed the prosecutor 12 pieces, which ho hastily put into his pocket without examining it and started for Harris burg; while in the cars prosecutor examined his pieces of, as ho supposed, gold , and found it a very poor imposition ;* having on one side an cnglo*Burroundcd with stars like a $5 gold piece, and on the reverse side a man seated at a table apparently playing at some game, and around the border tho words “ Keep your Temper,” which was somewhat difficult under" those circumstances. Tho pieces had been bought by defendant in Har risburg, (fourteen for twenty.cents,) and did not upon tber faces purport to represent mo ney ; hence it was contended that ho had not passed counterfeit coin, nor had lie forged it, nor pretended that it was money.
