F. K. BELTZHOOVEU. Chairman. A VfJN EFFORT. The attempt of the Radical Jacobins to “ elevate” the negro to the standard of the white man, is not only fanatical honsense, but it is cruelty to tlie negro himself. We have (lie I authority for asserting that in tlie.-Minth- rn States not one negro in ten is willing to work. The negroes construe freedom to mean exemption from labor, and the sealla wags and carpet-baggers from the North wlio now infest the Southern States, en courage the blacks in acta of lawlessness and crime. ThoUsandsofnegroesarenow gaining a living by robbing, and the hundreds of murders that have been perpetrated by those black fiends, is ev idence of their brutal natures. Slowly hut surely are the white men and wo men of the South giving way before the 1 armed negroes. In Tennessee, a State presided over by the dastard Brown low, the negroes are fm nied Into com panies, armed with the host Enfield ri fles, and sent into the various counties to shoot down whites at their pleasure. The people are fleeing from the State by hundreds and thousands, leaving their properties, goods and live stock to the mercy of Brownlow and his negro sol diers. What is to he the end of all this no one pretends to predict, but it is more than probable that a war of races will he the final result. That the negroes of the Soutli are un able to take care of themselves, is an admitted fact. Even the Radicals are reluctantly compelled to acknowledge tins. Hut we had evidence of this long ago. John Randolph, of Roanoke, it will be" remembered, before ids death, freed all Ills slaves, numbering, we be lieve, about one humlmi and fifty. py his will he directed Unit they should be settled in a colony in Ohio, each mala to be provided with a good house and forty acres of land, together with all necessary farming implements. A white man was appointed to oversee them for six months;" until they got fairly started in their new career. All was done as directed, at an expense to Mr. Randolph’s estate of over two hun dred thousand dollars. Fora while the negroes were pleased with their new homes and prospects, but as soon ns the white overseer lelt them they became demoralized and shiftless, and in ton years from the date of their freedom not a single man of them owned a foot of the ground that had been given them I All were beggars, and many of them vagabonds. What an answer was this to the Rad ical idea that the negro only wants en couragement to become the white man’s equal in frugality and thriftiness? What then is to become of the four millions of free negroes in the Southern States, is a question that is rapidly at tracting attention. “If they refuse to work let them starve,” say some, but this is not a very sagacious reply to the query. They will not starve long as they can find anything to steal. They will attend political meetings, to.give ear to the ravingsof scoundrels who ex pect to profit by giving them bad ad vice and inflaming their minds against the whites, but work they will not.— God knows what is to be the sequel, out certain it is that tire efforts of the Radicals to “ elevate” tlie negro have been in vain. If slavery was wrong, we fear that the experiment of general emancipation will prove a curse to the country as well as to the negroes them selves. Grant’s Cabinet.— lt is thought that Gch. Grant cannot find men enough of the same kind to make a harmonious Cabinet. A lively and facetious cotera-' porary, the Concord (N. H.) Patriot , says he is determined that it shall bo a “ unit”—is bent on “ peace,” and his “ bobbing around” from Dan to Beer shebaand back again, and “swinging round the circle” from Washington via Boston to Chicago, is said to bo not only to "avoid the politicians and office seekers,” but to find uniform material for his Cabinet. To cut- the “ Gordian knot” and makeasure thing of it,some bright genius has suggested the follow ing: , Secretary of State—E. B. Wnshbume, Illinois. Secretary of War—D. W. Wushtiurno, Miiine «ola. Secretary of Treasury—C. C. Wasbburno, Wis consin. Secretary of Navy—W. B. Wnshburne, Massa chusetts. Secretary of Interior—C. A. Washburn#, Cal forula. Attorney General—ll. D. Wushburne, Indiana. The rest of the family, which is ex tremely prolific and very extensive in its ramifications, can be disposed of as vacancies occur, or else be assigned to the important European missions.— “ Let us have x>eace I” “ Be Bueow.”—An effort is being made, which no doubt will be success- All, to have “ De Burow” continued in V i rgi nia, Texas and Mississippi. There arc many 44 loil ” thieves in those three .States who must bo taken care of, and tins plan seems to cost-no more than spine others. What a pity to choke these fellows off! How long will the tax-payers be content to feed them ? Bon’t all answer at once. A letter writer in the South says you cannot go on a cotton plantation in Alabama now without hearing the com mand, ** Senator, start right smart to your cotton-picking; Judge, you go and bring my horse round;” or, “ Colonel, have a shoe put on that mule right along.” The question of who will be the Speaker of the next House of Bepre ■entafives is already being discussed.— The indications strongly favor the be lief that Hon. Henry L. Dawes, of Massachusetts, will be the candidate of the Radical party, and of course the next Speaker. FOUR UILUOIS A YEAR. When the Union Pacific Railroad whs projected, and indeed for a long time after it had been begun, many ridiculed the idea of a business success for a rail road which was built into and tluongh what was popularly supposed to be n wilderness. What could there be to support a road in the “ Great American I esert?” . This question has been an swered in a way which must be emi nently satisfactory to the officers of the Company, as well as to the holders of the Company’s bonds. The report of the Treasurer shows that the earnings for the year ending June 30th, were more than four million dollars, while the average length of the road in opera- tion was but 472 miles. This is far in excess of the most sanguine expccta- lons, and gives rich promise of what the. traffic will bo when the entire lino to the Pacific shall bo complete, as it will bo by July of 1869. This will be six years inadvnncoof thetimcallowed by the national charter for the finish ing of the road, the latest bulletin of the progress of the track announcing that eight hundred miles of the road have been built, and the ers are going forward at the rate of three and four miles a day. At this rate, and with an ordinary amount of working weatherduring thesenson, the road will reach the vicinity of Salt Lake by the holiday time. An interesting statement lias been re cently made from official quarters at Washington, showing that the saving to the government in the year 1807, by transportation of government freight upon the railroad, over what the same service would have cost by wagons, was nearly two million dollars. If so large *a national profit can bo made on the unfinished road, wc may certainly con clude the government aid to the road to have been a wise national economy. Aside from .the pride which every American must take in the success of this great national work, is the especial interest felt in it by the multitude who have been purchasers of the Company’s First Mortgage Bonds. A road doing so large and profitable a business, will be morally certain to meet all its obli gations, both in principal and interest. Be Haven & Bro., JN'o. 1 South Third street, Philadelphia, have the First Mortgage Bonds of the Union Pacific Rail Road, at 102 and interest. We are getting a little too much ar my. Not satisfied that it shall govern the South, the especial friends of mili tary government want the youth of the country instructed by army officers while they are at college. A few days ago, a bill was reported in the House by Mr. Garfield, from the Committee on Military Affairs, with the recom mendation that it pass, which proposes to give the President elect power to de tail two arAy officers to at least one college in eacli State as military instruc tors therein, with supplies, to be paid out of the public treasury, of hooks, camp equippago, ordnance, and ord nance stores. To each such college is to be allotted a fifer and a drummer, with the highest pay both to these mu sicians and the officers detailed as in structors that is allowed by the army regulations. Tin* bill was drawn by Grant’s order when he was Secretary of War, and no doubt it will pass. What is the use of it? What right has Con gress to furnish instructors to State col leges at government expense ? It will require seventy-four officers to furnish two to one college in each State. If they can bo dispensed with from the ar my for this purpose, they can be dis pensed with altogether, and ought to bo mustered out. The pay of these officers to be detailed for State colleges will amount to at least two hundred and fif ty thousand dollars a year, which great sum can be saved to the tax-payers by mustering them out of service. All this is but another step toward univer sal military despotism to which we are fast hastening. Let us pause before it is too late. So says the Doylcstown Democrat. The Union Pacific Railroad.— The winter weather has not stopped the work upon the Uniou Pacific Rail road, whose advance during the winter mouth? will be constant, although, of course, less rapid than in the better working days of summer and fall. So much will bo done, however, that the spring of 18G9 will see the closing of the intervening distance between the Un ion Pacific and the Central or California division. Meanwhile, the Company gives ample security to Government that the road will be thoroughly built and equipped in accordance with law. The President has ordered the contin ued issue of Government bonds upon the road as finished, the recent special examining commission having borne decided testimony to the good charac ter of the work. AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA. Collision Between n Shcrlirs Posse an Kccroes—‘The MicrifT's Party Disarm* anil Driven Bnclt. Savannah, Dec. 30.—Tlio Sheriff of the county and two went to Haywood’s planta tion, on Ogeecheo river, eleven miles from tlio city, on Tuesday, to arrest seventeen negroes, charged with shooting a watchman on tho plan tation, and carrying oil’the crops of planters, and made live arrests. At Ht’atlon No. I, on the At lantic and Gulf Railroad, they were surrounded by about one hundred armed negroes, who res-, cued the prisoners, disarmed and robbed the Sheriff’s party, destroyed the warrants, and threatened to kill them if they over served a process again in the vicinity. Thenegioes then separated into squads and marched back to the plantations, avowing they would havotho heart’s bloodot every whlteman on the Ogoechee, saying, “The war has com menced.” One negro watchman is supposed to be murdered and two white men badly hurt.— ii’here is great excitement.. “ Let tis have peace.”— Grant , Editors, Attention !—Editorial Con vention. —A Convention of the editorial fraternity of Central Pennsylvania, will be held at Bellefonte, on Friday, the Bth day of January, 1860, for the double pur pose of celebrating the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, and agreeing upon a scale of prices for advertising and job work, to be hereafter strictly adhered to. It is expected, of course, that a “good time” will be incidental, and editors generally throughout the State are invi ted to come and bring their “ knitting” .with them. By order of the Committee- J. \V. Furey, Secretary. The vote of Florida will probably have to be dropped from the Grant col umn. The scalawag Legislature voted for electors, and when the electors were chosen by the Legislature, it appears there was no quorum present; so the election is void. The Democrats of Boston elected their candidate for Mayor on the 28th ult., by 1500 majority. THE INDIAN WAD. R«slffUAllon of an Indian Agent. We referred some time ago to the Re port of General Sheridan,- and the battle of General Custer with the Indiana. We have now to record the resignation of Cit-nM. Wynkoop, the Agent of the Chey ennes and Arrapahoos.* Col. Wynkoop snys: “ 1 nm now under orders to proceed lo I’m-i (’ohh.i.ii I In- U'a-ldla river, and con gregate vviiul Indians I can of my agency ui that point or vicinity. Since 1 have started on the journey hither, I have learned of some five dillerenl.columns of troops in the field, whose objective point is the Washita river. The regulartroops are under control of and commanded by officers who will notallow atrocities to be committed, but there are also troops in the field under the sanction of the Gov ernment, volunteer troops, and Ule and Osage Indians, the deadly enemies of all the plain Indians, and whom nothing will prevent frommurdering all, of what ever age and sex, who are found. “The point to which that portion ore inarching who have expressed their de termination to kill, under all circum stances, the Indians of my agency, is the point to which I am directed to congre gate them, and they will readily respond to my call; but I must certainly refuse to again bo the instrument of the murder of innocent women and -children. While I remain an officer of the Government, I propose to do my duty, a portion of which ia lo obey my instructions. AH left me under the circumstances, with the pres ent state of feeling I have in the matter, is lo respectfully tender my resignation, and return the commission of which I have so far.earnestly endeavored to fulfil the requirements.” What a horrible idea is here conveyed to the benevolent mind. A government officer appointed to deal with and protect the interests of his country and of the In dians, is compelled to resign rather than march hi-* Indian subjects, over whom he lias obtained inlluenee and whose con fidence he possesses into an ambuscade, to he mu ilered, men, women and chil dren, by the orders of General Sheridan, that he may obtain m Hilary eclat, and become a Miccogful candidate for civil honors at the hands of his mongrel friends. Col. Wynkoop, now probably at Wash ington, declares it as his belief that fhe lute fight of General Custer, on the Wash ita, was dimply a massacre, ami says Black Keltic and his.band were friendly Indians on their own reservation when attacked. In that massacre Sheridan claims to have killed one hundred warriors and captured as many women. GENERAL AMNESTY. Proclamation President. Washington, Bee. 35.-—The President ias issued the following: A PKOCLAMATION. By the President oj the United Stales Whereas, the President of the United States has heretofore set forth several proclamations offering amnesty and pardon to persons who had been or were concerned in the late rebellion against the lawful authority of the government of the United Slates, which proclama tions wore severally issued on the Bth day of December, 18138 ; on the 2(3th day March, 1804; on the 29tb day of May, 1805 on the 7th day of September, 1807, and on the 4th day of July, of the pres ent year. And whereas the authority of the fed eral government having been reestab lished in the Stales and Territories with in the jurisdiction of the United Slates, it is believed that such prudential reset vatious and exceptions as at the dates of said several proclamations were deemed necessary and proper may now be wisely and justly relinquished, and that an universal amnesty and pardon fur par ticipation in said rebellion, extended lo all who bore any part therein, will tend lo secure permanent peace, order ami prosperity throughout the land, and lo renew and fully restore confidence and fraternal feeling amomr the whole peo ple, and their respect for and attach ment to the national government de signed by its founders for the general good ; A'ow, therefore, be it known that I, Andrew Johnxm, President of the Uni ted States, by virtue of the power and authority in me vested by the constitu tion and In-the name of the sovereign people of the United Stales, do hereby proclaim and. declare, unconditionally and without reservation, to all_and every person who, directly or indirectly, par ticipated in the lath insurrection or rebel lion, a full pardon and amnesty for the offence of treason against the United Stales, or adhering to their enemies dur ing the late civil war, with restoration of all rights, privileges and immunities un der the constitution and the laws which have been made in pursuance thereof. In testimony whereof L have signed these presents with my band and. have caused the seal of the United Stales lo be hereunto affixed.

NEW YORK EDITORS, “Seymour,* 1 the gossiping correspon dent of the Mobile Register, speaking of certain libel suits against Greeley of the Tribune, and Raymond of the Times, 'shows that they are able to meet these little annoyances with equanimity ; “ Seymour,” says: It is not a bad thing to edit a daily pa per in New York. All our editors In this line arc rich. Bennett’s income Is over $lOO 000 a year. Greeley makes enough money to support a dozen fami lies in style, hut is democratic enough to take his meals in a fifteen cent restau rant, instead of going to Delmonico’s.— Raymond lives like a prince, in Ninth street, and gives some capital dinners, ut which our political and social nabobs stretch their legs under bis mahogany Marble has been at the business only a few years, but has already built up quite a fortune, and lives as well as the best of them.

Mince Pies. —The following recipe for mince pies, which are now in season, is confidently recommended to the editor of the Germantown Telegraph by a Jady who lias used it for many years : Boil a frtMi beef tongue tender, let it get cold, then chop it fi nc, wit h one pound of suet, one-half peck of apples, two pounds of currants picked and washed very care fully, one pound of citron sliced, half an ounce each of powdered cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and ginger; three pints of sweet cider, one pint of Madeira wine, half a pint of brandy, with enough sugar toaweeten to your taste. This will make a large jar lull. “ Chaps” on the Hands.— Many per sons, especially ladies, uro victim's all through the cold season to chapped hands. An efficacious and agreeable remedy exists; what is more, it costs next to nothing. A small jar, filled with equal parts of honey and glycerine, cost ing a shilling, will last all winter. Ap ply it after washing to hands still wet; then rub one hand with' the othcrein •Lady Macbeth style until nearly dry; then complete the wiping with a soft towel. Noneofthe fancifully-named cos metics, American or .imported, are half as good as this. fiST’Gray hairs may not mar one's good looks and in many cases even im prove tlie appearance, but as a general rule arc considered objectionable and many devices are resorted to prevent or get riil of them. .Wo know of no mode so little troublesome or objectionable ns the use Ring’s Vegetable Ambrosia, an article which of late has become so im mensely popular as a toilet article and beautifler. It is easily applied, restores gray or faded hair, prevents, and in many cases cures baldness, cleanses the scalp and leaves the hair in splendid condition for arranging. Jau- 7, 18G9—4t. The Lady’s Friend, fok January. —Never, perhaps, has there, been pub lished a more attractive number of a la dy’s magazine, than the January issue of the Lady’s Friend. It leads oil with' a splendid illustration on steel of a story by Miss Amanda M. Douglas, “ Chased by Wolves.” Then we have a striking illustration of Mrs. Wood’s novelet ;—for “ Roland Yorkc, or, Done in Passion,” a new and powerful story, by the famous author of “East Lynne,” is commenced .in the present number. In the large amfrbrilliaiu Fashion Plate', the editor Ims given two examples of the “ Grecian Bend,” cw if. in seen in jP«m—not for the imitation of her American readers, but to satisfy their curiosity, and also to prove that this is not, as many suppose, a Sara toga fashion, but one having the usual French origin; “Last Words” (with poetry), is a beautiful engraving. There are also very many engravings devoted to lady’s attire, and to the work-table, which the ladies can better appreciate .than we can. The other literary matter is “ Between Two,” by that piquant and brilliant writer, Mias Elizabeth Prescott; “ Who was It, a Story of Planchette,” by Mrs .

' * Advice to Skaters.—ln view of thci skating season, thefollowing, from Hall's Journal of Healthy may save our frht.A who indulge in ttic recreation of skating no small amount of discomfort. “ Be fore starting for the ice, bathe your feet in cold water, dry them perfectly, and give them a good rubbing with a crash towel, put on a pair of woolen or heavy cotton stockings, and your feet will re main comfortably warm for three or four hours in the coldest weather. Frightful Acctd. nt.—Mr. J. Sided, a smooth-faced gentleman, somewhat pyramidal in form, wan precipitated from the roof of i\ three-story house in Penn sylvania avenue yesterday. He fell a distance of about forty feet, and was, os ca*i he easily im glued, crushed t' pie ces* He was running over the roof, and, losing ins balance, fell, clutching the eaves in his downward course. There he was suspended for some time, but, bis strength failing, he was compelled to yield his hold. We understand lie lias a umber of sympathizing friends.in the city’, who will take care of his remains* Mr. I. Siukel had been “ hanging up” at the bouse for several days.— Patriot, t Boys and Tobacco —The ] most de plorable thing connected with the filthy habit of using tobacco, which, within a few years, has spread to such an alarm ing extent, is the use of the poison by young half'grown boys, who are so quick to ap“ the doings of their elders. Itfc in jurious effect oo thesystomsof such boys, especially the more dejicato and nervous ones, is beyond question, and the extent to which the habit is being eoiltrncted among them may bo verified by any one' who will take a little cam to observe them A great deal of tlie smoking among boys comes from the mere habit of imitation and the notion that it in manly. If the smelting on the street and other public places wo nr done in private, where it ought to lie done, if done at all, the number of hoys who an nually learn the trick, would i*e materia lly lessened.

SST' Many years ago the writer of this notice and an invalid physician, while visiting the Island of St. Croix for their health, experienced and witnessed many surprising and beneficial effects of the Rum there produced upon many of the invalids who were, like ourselves, seek ing health, sud upon inquiry and inves tigation, obtained a full history ,of its medicinal virtues. He was delighted and surprised, and determined to make it the basis of a Tonic and Restorative Medicine. Tho result of his labors was a glorious success for himself and suffer ing humanity. The celebrated Planta tion Bltleis was thus made known lothe world. Being an article of real merit, founded ou new principles, and relying wholly upon the vegetable kingdom for its medicinal effects, it worked a rapid revolution in the treatment of physical debility.

If you don’t mean to your business, it will not pay to advertise. ** Bread is the stall’of human life, and advertising is the stall'd life in trade. Don’t attempt to advertise unless you have a got d stock of meritorious articles. Newspaper advertisements are good of their kind, but they cannot take the place of circulars and hand-bills. Hand-bills ami circulars • arc good of their kind, but they cannot take the place of newspaper advertisements. No hell cun’ting so loudly us a good ad vertisement. People will believe what they see, rather than \\ hat they hear. Bonner, for several successive years, invested in advertising all the piofita of the proceeding year. Now see what he is. Quitting advertising in dull times is like tearing out a dam because the water is low. Either plan will prevent good times from ever coming. The wise man of Scripture evidently did not refer to advertising when he said, “ Cast thy bread upon the waters and after many days thou shalt see it agaiu,” or he would have added, “ with interest.” - * If you would add to your business, pui your “ ad.” into our paper. Economy in the Use op Coal.—At the present high prices of coal it behooves all to be economical in the us© of it.— Some housekeepers, in the management of their fires, seem to suppose that,an ad dition of fuel will insure increased com bustion and develop additional heat.— No idea can bo more mistaken. Coal, and especially anthracite coal, should be always furnished with a sufficient amount of oxygen to keep the fire bright. It is only smothering and retarding the fire to put in a thick layer of coal, or as some do, fill the fire box, from a layer of two.inchea of ignited .coal,.to. its. utmost capacity, with fresh fuel. No more coal should be put upon a fire at one time than will readily ignife and give off u pure white blaze—not a blue flame, which de notes the presence of unconsumed gases, and the Are should be undisturbed on the top. In clearing the grate in the morning there is a quantity of unburned coal, which has been externally subject ed to combustion. It is covered with ash, and looks like cinder. It is often dump ed into the ash box. The fact is that the lump is only roasted on the outside, not even cooked and is in a better condition for igniting than the green coal. Never waste it. Attention to these few hints will save many dollars In a winter. Scarce.—Local items. We would be thankful to our friends in the county, if they would seud us a note of all items of interest in their different neighbor hoods.

Murder Near Siiippens duko.—What is known as “ the Pines,” about three miles South of Shippeusburg, lias been tire scene of a brutal murder.— On Monday, the 28th nit., Adam Titus, reached the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Fry, where he resided, in company witli a German named Henry Stehm or Stahni. They remained about the house until Wednesday morning, Titus having asked Stehm several .times to lend him some money, which the latter-refused to do. On Wednesday morning Titus pro posed that tlie two Should go up Into tire mountain to cut spine timber, and they accordingly went'.', Titus .cairie back alone, and when asked by.gome’ member of the family where Stehmlyvaa, lie re plied that lie had. goue t'o town, oh, a spree. Titus himself subsequently went toShip pensbnrg and bought a quantity of cloth ing for his wife. Returning to his homo, on Thursday morning he took a pick-axe and shovel and again went into tlie mountain. His mother-in-law,, fearful that a terrible crime had been commit ted, followed and noted'the course he took, and after he had. returned to the house, covered with mud, and had again gone to Shippeusburg, she informed the family of the late Mr. Marshall Mains, of her suspicions, and William Mains went to Shippeusburg ami procured the arrest oi Titus by constable Hykas. .Repairing to tjjp spot whither Titus had been seen going, they discovered traces of blood, and afterwards found the body of Stehm, stripped of clothing, with the head al most entirely severed from the body and the skull partially crashed , in; hurried, under a foot of .earth, on the border of a pond. The'-^ousbd-was’lironght'‘before’ the murdered man, and manifested sighs of cleat terror and alarm. When asked by one of the by-standora whether he had murdered tlie man, lie at fi’rstevaded the question, hut finally said “ Well, X may as well tell ; we had some words, and X struck, him," pr words to that effect. — Titus was brought to this place on Sat-’ urday and lodged in prison, to await his trial at the Jahuary term of Oyer and Terminer. Before burying the body, Titus had stripped it of clothing, and liaj, deposited the clothing iirdifftrent parts ,of the woods. Btclim bad about him forty or fifty dol lars, which is supposed to have led to the murder. He was an honest, bard-work iug German, and had for a time been, en gaged on tire South Mountain rail-road. Titus met him in Hagerstown, and pro posed that ho should go to his home, near Shippenabufg, where they would both engage in butting wood in the mountain during the winter. This is one of the most atrocious and cold-blooded murders we have recorded in these columns for years. It possesses not one single extenuation to wash its guilt of the deepest die. It seems al most incredible that any human being could be induced to murder a fellow-man for the paltry sum of forty or fifty dol lars. IS us in css 'Notices Wm.
