The Syracuse Salt Company,.as ap pears from the sworn statement of one of the officers of the Company, made be fore Mr. Weils, shows that, common* dug in ISGO, with a capital of onl> $lOO,- oou, It has now on hand a surplus of $6 '0,000; that it has, meanwhile, made dividend- t«» the amount of $-,000,000; and that Du* property is now absolutely w' rth $4,5‘*0,u00. This Is an almost in credible showing on a business of eight years, on a gross capital of $160,000. Salt, if our memory serves us, has a “ protection” under our present tariff laws of twenty-four cents per 100 lbs.— This amounts tua prohibition of foreign ?alt,and permits our own salt manu facturers to charge just about what they please. They are “ protected,” and in a few years are enabled to count their profits by hundreds of thousands and by millions. Therfrar people are the suf ferers, for they are required to pay about three times as much for>alt as they would if it was not “ protected.” Now, we should like one of the advo rates of “• protection” to show ua why a tariff of 24 cents per 100 Iba. is necessary to protect salt companies? It is sim ply an outrage, a fraud, and is on a par with all that class-legislation that is in tended to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. It enables the wealthy capitalist to accumulate his millions in a few years at the expense of the people at large. But it is not only the tariff on salt that we have to complain of. Nearly £very other heavy interest is protected in the same wa\,and enabled to roll the people at pleasure. We notice that many of our large manufacturing com panies during the Inst year declared •*enij-:innual dividends of 50, GO and 70 per cent., without counting the hun dred.-of thousands reserved as sinking funds. Our coal companies are “ pro mt u-d,” and hence the outrageous im that in practiced upon, the, pco pm in the price of coal. We have in I- rmarinn which we deem reliable, that *-oal i mild he sold at one-half its pres ••ni price, and slib afford a profit to the coal lords of 40 percent, on thelrinve-t -in*nt. Wi* contend, tin vemre, that our tariff law- arc* nothing more nor le*s than -windnng project-. They grind down the masses, and aggrandize ihu wealth of the capitalist. Tin* people at large, under our tariff law-, suffer; the man of wealth piles uj- hi.- millions. As much as any one, we desire to sec every American interest encouraged ; il we had our way. not a dollar should go to England from thia country for Jan rics and article* which cat* be manufac tured here. A reasonable tariff on such interests as require pro ection, may J)c right and proper, ’>ut we would not im pose a tariff upon tho<e articles that are necessary to the comfort of every fami ly. rich and poor. To do so is a wrong against ninety-nine own, and an undue favor to one. Uur manufacturers should he ashamed to be constantly croaking at the doo*> of Congress for more “ protection.” - ()ur country is capable of producing ub ino-t everything produced by t tiiei '•-untries; our great mountains an pregnant with iron and coal; in mu portion of our land we find great depos its of gold, in another silver, in anothei copper, in another lead, ami in anothei zinc. Oil of superior quality bubble up from the bowels of the earth liki water, and salt springs are found in nearly every State. Nature has been lavish in .lie be.-towal oi favors upon our vast domain, and. until the “ inter nal Abolitionists 11 a< Daniel Webst-ei called them,) got into jower, we ap peared to he God’s eho.-en people. Now, however, men :m* not willin'* to labor long aijd diligently for the pos of wealth ; t ey want to hei-oint millionaire?- in a day,*l y aid ofthe.gov frimieiil, or, in plait.( r language, by tin* aid of me., of the poorer da*.-. Every enterprise that D now projected, the government is appealed to l«.r aid. and, too oiien, owing to tin.* kind o'. ♦ men we send to I 'ongn*>-. t!ii- ask( .1 f'-r aid E granted. The most pm life- fraud, however, is ii.e imp<.-d -l = »*n of a prohibitory tariff upon cert.dn articles necessary to thecoinjr.rf of man. Tins is the project of sharper-for their own benefit, and deserves tin* condem nation of every one who is the friend ol <he people at large—the friend of the poor man, who hits to struggle day in and day out to provide for the want** of a family dependent upon him for sup port. The Negro Douglass at Colfax** PAKTy !—The predictions of the Demo cratic party that the recognition of the political equality of the negro race would be a stepping »tone to their ad mission to social equality with tin whites, are in process of fulfilment. At Speaker Colfax’s reception la?i week, Fred Douglass made his appearance, un der theescort of Senator Wilson, of Mass achusetts, and was cord tally welcomed as 11 a man and a brother” by the Vice. President elect and the ladies of his fam ily. How the white folks who attended wen* pleased with the company of “ the Black Douglas,” has not yet transpired. Co! fax asv. pirations to the Presidency, and his ob sequious attentions to the negro Doug las as the representative man of his race, are a cunning bait to catch the ne gro vote. He is in the “ advance guard” of the Radical forces, and evidently hobUitas a foregone conclusion that the . mire negro population of the l'n ion will have a vote in 1572. (rKX. GrantSurrendered.—When the- committee in charge of the Inaugu ration ball waited upon Gen. Grant to present him with a dead-head ticket, he refused it, deprecated a ball, and said he wpuld not attend it. Tin's looked like buck-bone. But Gen. Grant has yielded to the importunities of the Washington elite, and has consented to be present at the hall, which is to •‘come o(P’ in the north wing of the Treasury building. We hope the Secretary of the Treasury will see to it that the locks of the money-safes tire well se cured on said evening. t®r The army bill reported in Con gress appropriates ♦43,195,300, being ♦10,113,407 more than thenppropriation last year.

After the fall t»f Vicksburg, the order was counterman ded, and no record of it can be found in the War Department I Stanton hc.d de stroyed ?7, as he destroyed many other records. We have often said, and wo repeat it, that Stanton was capable of doing anything, and if ever justice over takes him, he will be hanged c*i the same gallows that was used when Mrs. Surratt, an innocent woman, was mur dered by his order. Stanton was among the first rebels in our country. He was the man who encouraged Southern Sen ators and members of Congress to re sign their seats and to 44 strike for inde pendence.” History will yet pin this man down and fasten his many crimes upon him, notwithstanding the mutila tion of the records of the War Depart moot, and the perjury of hirelings and scoundrels in his employ. Concerning the attempted dismissal of Grant from the army, however, there can be no dispute. A letter from Bos ton, published in the New York Her (dd, is no doubt a true version of the Vicksburg story.

T/p article above, from the Boston Traveller , ißad.,l has paragraphs which we have italicised, that completely transfix Stanton in wicked conduct.— According to it, file* and words at the (lor Department have t>v>n tampered with and destroyedi and Hatted: mi* ■Stanton's cat's paw in >espect to order* ffiectmg the states of Grant when before Vicksburg. With such revelations, what wonder is it that we should find a para graph like the following in a Western journal:—“Our Washington corres pondent * D. IV has recently seen the lion. Edwin M. Stanton, and say» that gentleman would not accept a O’bmet office, ana regards his fife as a public man ended. Mr. Stanton makes this state ment under such c\reams*am. e* that there i.*> no question that hrsresolution i ffixtd not to take office.'' Sr?* The Democracy elected a Mayor in Philadelphia last fall by a majority -o large as to silence all_ attwnpt.s at contesting his seat; hut no sooner is the KadirM Legislature in session than a bill i- read in place, the design of which is to deprive him of all command of the p dice. Such glaring partizan.-ddp must recoil on itsauthors. The Philadelphia /W, intensely Radical as it is, sees thD. and, warns its party against the step. It calls the hill “a bow at the IVpuh lean party," and s .ys “ it would Io»e. the Republican party the city next fail, and with the city probably the State.” That’s more good sense than we have seen in a Radical paperfora long while. Voted Down, of Course.—Mr. Brown, of Clarion, introduced a re-elu tion recently, directing the Auditor General to furnish the House with in formation showing by what authority Ex-District Attorney Win. B. M»nn— the late, repudiated candidate for the perquisites appertaining thereto—was paid thirty thousand dollars out of the State Treasury last year. A Mr. Nich olson, Republican, from away- out in _th e__\V ash in gton and Beaver district, put in his “oar,” the resolution was voted down, and William breathes again. Twitched, the murderer of his mother-in law, has been sentenced to be hanged. An, effort is now making to secure his pardon, but without much prospect of success. Still, when we con sider that Twitched has always been an active Republican, there is no telling what Gov. Geary may do. He has par doned scores because they belonged to his party, and he may pardon Twitched. Pardoned.—Dr. Mudd, convicted of complicity in the assassination of Pres ident Lincoln, and sentenced to the Dry Tortugaalor life, lias been pardone I by President Johnson. Bight ! Dr, Mudd was as innocent as an unbo n babe, and ids incarceration was an out. rage, as the hanging of Mrs. Surratt was a murder. Jacobin State Central Commit tee.—The Radical-Jacobin State Cen tral Committee of this State met at the | Lochiel Hotel, Harrisburg, on Thurs day last, and resolved to hold the next State Convenlioiu-at Philadelphia, on the 23d of June. A.vunitu utiHonuTK’ member ot»- TED. The absolute Radical majority of the present Congress have been guilty of many outrages upon individual right and public justice in the furtherance of their unscrupulous parlizan end*. But the grit ? -fst and must, flagrant of all, was that perpetrated by the House on in-- l-ilj nil.. ;a the division of the con- > .vti.'lvr .\n T.- j ri.i* Ninth Congressional Di-trii-r of Miss-mri, Nearly a yt-ai ago. the Committee on Elections, com p.»sed of seven Radicals and onh two Democrats, made a unanimous report declaring Mr. Switzier, the Democratic contestant, entitled to his seat us the legally elected representative of that District. . It appeared from the evi dent Unit the official returns gave Mr. Switzler a majority of 1120; but the en tire vote of one county (Callaway,) was thrown out by the carpet-bag Secretary of Stale of Missouri, without warrant ot law, upon some flimsy pretext that 730 of the registered voters of that county were “disloyal men.” By this arbi trary tampering with the returns, An derson ißadical,} was counted in, and the certificate of election given to him. In July last, when the case came before the House, and there appeared to be •some danger that Anderson would be ousted, Benjamin, one of his Radical colleagues, trumped up a charge of dis loyalty against Mr. Mwitzler, and suc ceeded in having the matter recommit ted to the election Committee for fur : ilic-r investigation. That this charge was utterly false, and made only for de lay, and denial of justice To the contest ant, is evident from the fact that, al though full time and opportunity were given to Anderson and his friends to substantiate it, they failed to do so, or even to make a feint toward proving the charge. The committee therefore again rep *rted h*fa"orof Mr. ‘-'witzlor. Tne rose was ably uigued on behalf ol the committee by Mvjs-rs. Cook and Do land, ißadicals,i and Mr. Kerr, .Dem ocrat’ — three of the best lawyers in tl v House—but notwithstanding the incon trovertible facts and argument? they presented, the hide-bound majority re jected the report of their own Commit tee, and decided that Anderson should keep thc-reat to wmVh he was not elec ted. The vine .-mind 55 to S 9. The few Radical- who voted with the Demo crats on this question (such.men as Ba ker, Bingham, Blair, Cook, Jenckes, Lallin, Moorhead, Poland, Trowbridge, Upson, K. B. Washburne, Jas. F. Wil- son and \\ oodbridge,) deserve credii for havingshown independence enough, in this instance, at least, to do justice oven ai the expense o; party fealty.

During the impeachment she refused to be' a Senator who lived at her moth er’s boarding house, to vote for convic tion. In revenge, the Radicals now swear that her bust is not as handsome a: Mr. Lincoln. They are, pn that plea, refusing to pay for it. Oh, Radi calism, where is thy blush?

But no soon er had they succeeded in carrying the elections than the military bill was passed, and ten Southern State govern ments were destroyed, and the whole territory placed under The control of five district commanders.” The national convention which placed Gen. Grant in nomination lor the Presidency, declared that “the question of suffrage in all the loyal Tates properly belongs to the people of those cjtale*.” During the debate on the proposition, Mr. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, quoted the above, and inquired pertinently: What ha> caused tlie parly to change front? ■ f th*- question p.npt-riy be.onged to thoscStuie* luriiii! the cifcdoii of bud fail, what have the 'talcs done Miuv to deprive ilicium-Ivcj* nf the iglit? it the question md not properly belong ■V..iuirc>o. then. h<*w has it become imvstcu with i he pn.pro-tv uow ofdisposlngof It in those 'tat.--.? * mu th.- Radicals have no ideii of keeping faith with the people. The promises made for an election canvass ire only brought forward to be broken whenever any selfish or party scheme presents itself. Connecticut, Ohio, Michigan, Kansas, und every State ex cept Minnesota, has rejected, within the past two years, the idea of unquali ied negro suffrage. But the plan now is to go to the legislatures, and secure there what the people would condemn by an overwhelming vote. If this pro posed amendment is concurred in In the States, let it be submitted to the people, not to legislatures, for ratifiea - [ion or rejection. Tt e dominant party professes great regard for the will of the people; let it evince its sincerity by al lowing the voice of the people to de cide upon this fundamental law propos ed for their control.

A Word of Caution to those going to Nkw York.—The following article,- which we clip from the New York 6un, is opportune, mid the caution it contains to those who visit New York, should be heeded. Swindling— word to our Country Friendf, — We have recently given an ac conn t of some of the modes of swindling unsusnecling strati jers who visit this city We again call attention to this subject, and hope (bat the press, especially in the rural • Ntric.ts, will give It publicity, until al are luHy put on Iheir'guard. One favorite method of inveiglingibt- un wary, is for certain well dressed young men to f* II in.with a stranger on his arri val at the rad way depot or steumh* at landing, and entering into casual conver sation, to gradually become friendly enough to ask " What hotel do you pre fer?* 1 “What part of tile city are you go ing to?’ &c. These queries are accom panied by the otter to point out the desir ed hotel or street, or to give the st rangei whatever information and guidance he inquires. Committing himself to the direction of this newly made, and seem ingly disinterested fileiidsnip. he Is led into some den of vice, entrapped hv some."confidence ’ game—inoneor m«p of tho many* ways frequently made a victim 01. Those who come Into the city by the New Jersey Central Rail road, (the “Allentown route” from the West,) will notice sever d young men of the class alluded to, on the ferrv boat, on the Ac w Jersey side, who are especially ’watchful of the through trains, and who, during the passage of the boat to the side, avail themselves of opportunity los.el into the good graces of any one whomav s*em to them a "John Greenhorn.” We warn strangers against these ydurfg men, ami against any persons ut the terminus of this or any oilier line, who make ad vances or offer their services in any way unsolicited. Let'none be Ignorant of their devices, or trust Mich villains. If strang ers want information, let them get It of the policemen, whom they will usually find utor near the landing or depot in the city. Let them keep their mouths shut and their pockets close to men they do not know.—N, Y. Sun. fiST Some negro is credited with the following, which certainly evinces more sense than is possessed by some members of Congress? “You know de turkey lie roost on do fence, an* de goose he roo>ton de ground.

Tho lias given another specimen of Radical consistency by passing Uio Negro Huf frage Constitutloiml Amendment. The Itadical majorliy In Congress and In the Htnlo Logisla -1 lures was seemed upon the express understand ing embraced In tho Chicago platlorm, that the question of suffrage was lo be 1*- ft to the exclu sive control of the people of the several .Slates, und now ills proposed that such rotten boroughs as Ilhode Island, Now Hampshire, Nebraska and Nevada are to folstnegrosuffrage upou the great suites of-Pennsylvania and New York, without the conseni of their people. Shall this great outrage be perpetrated without one word of pro test iruiii those must deeply concerned ? Let the people of Pennsylvania wake up and preserve their right* ami the dignity of the Slate. This amendment may be triumphantly can led through Congress, but there are good grounds for believing that It may be defeated in at least ten oi the States; and leu refusals to ratify will suffice to kill it Uoutwed, one of the foremost advocates of negro suffrage, preferred the pas sage of a simple act of Congress lorhidding the exclusion of negroes, assigning as his reason for tills preference, tho improbability that a con stitutional ameiuliqoDt would bo ratified by tho requisite number of States*. There ar« some Re publican states, like Ohio.’which have recently voted down negro suffrage, and their Legisla tures would hesitate to ratify this amendment at the risk of their party losing tlie Slates in tho nest elections. All tin? Democratic Legislatures will reject It of course. " The same old soven-nnd-slx-penoe.’’ “'Mon sieur Toitson has come again.” Ills rumored— und unfortunately rumor -on this subject has been almost uniformly correct—that the next National debt statement will show the fearful Increase of eighteen millions; this Immense ad dition to our great “national blessing” being due to tlie colu taken from tho Treasury to pay the interest on the five-twenty bomjs. Here l*a fact which commends Itself with imperative force lo the attention of every tax-payer In the nation. It has frequently been predicted by those who pretend lo profound knowledge on the subject of national finances, that although the reduction of the national debt might not be a rapid one, still there would be a gradual di minution,and thatevenlually wo or our posteri ty should be bles-ed with an overflowing treas ury, and the old question of what is to he done wlili the surplus revenue be a subject of warm deb do. - Theseulr-castle builders are beginning to see how grossly they have been deluded themselves, and how egrogloii'-ly they have de ceived thepeople. Month aflermonth there comes thosamestereolyped tale of millions m re indebt edness. At the close of the lad fiscal year the statement of the Secretary showed, by Irrefu table facts and'figures, that thirty million dol lars had been added to the nation's burden of taxation, and to-day we have the dismal Infor mation that we commence IbUO with eighteen millions more to be piled on lo it. Wteu, where, uud how Is this to cud ? How long can any na tion stand tip under such accumulated and accu mulating - Indebtedness? What are those to whom tlie nation looks for a remedy dolug? Nearly every national rcpicscniativc has a na tional scheme of his own which differs in some essential particular from that of every one else. Asa consequence, nothing is done—and worse, nothing is likely to be done—that will lead to n so'ullon of the problem. *Hmv are we to avoid this continuous onlargeineutof our national lia bilities? One set of Radicals are advocating a fourfold Increase of the President's salary; an other are pressing with nil earnestness the granting of immense subsidies to vari ous corporations; athird clamors for a-pension for Mrs. Lincoln ; and the who.o party appears to be engaged in devising the quickest possible method of sp tiding the people's money and plunging the country into hopeless bankruptcy. La*l week Patterson of New Hampshire gave sunnier u gentle “rub,” as follows: "Calling names settles nothing. Why, sir, I might select a Senator here and call him the most patient of animals with a parcel of books on his shoulder, deeming himself the national divinity, but that would not make him so.” It requires some skill to be severe ami j*et parliamentary. In the House, on the same day. Mr. Ho brook, a new member from Idaho, wishing lo say that lien Butler wa* a liar, expressed the well-known fact in this blunt way: “Ho has made assertions which he knew at tho time he was making them, lobe unqualifiedly false.*' Colfax ruled this to be unparliamentary, and the House sustained hlur, nm) Mr. Holbrook was formally “censur ed;' for it Is unparliamentary to call a spade a spado. Patterson knows how to do it, but Hol brook didn't. Speaking ofSumner, he is areal disagreeable ass, as Patterson Intimated. Very few Senators or members have any lovo for him —ln fact thev all dislike him. Ho is personally unpleasantand overbearing, being a type of a class that Divine Providence set on end to be disagreeable, ns puni-hmenl for our sins. In a land where caste Is as firmly-founded as their rock-bounded coast and barren boII, Chawis is a snob, a social llunkey, a genii-* Yello.w-Plush. Treating wijh haughty contempt an unknown while man, ho bumos hlsfjjenaforlal head on the floor In the presence of a wealthy New Englander or an English Lord, egotistical as sin; he makes his verv shame a source of pride, and the blow*!* of a utlek, that would make a Sensitive man shrink from public gaze, are t *hlm a crdwn of laqrel. It is re>ated of him that during the war, and shortly after a terrible disaster that thrilled the laud, a gentleman met Mr. Sumner walking slowly uloD4 the streets o'f Boston. He rushed lu great excitement lothe Senator. “Mr. Sumner,” ho cried,“have you any news for us?” “Yes sir,” responded the national Invalid, lu his deep voice, “ Yes sir, I am much better.” We hear a great deal of trash from Radical Congressmen about educing the expenses of the army. In fact a Rad leal Committee has been In session on the subject, during the entire ses sion. And yet the figures in the appropriation bill don't look very much like reduction. The electoral votes for President and Vice ■ President of the United States will be counted before the two Houses of Congress on Wednes day, the loth. The two Houses will assemble In the Hall of the House of llepresenta-lvoa ut the hour of t o’clock P, M,, and the President of the Senate will be their presiding olllcer; one teller will be appointed on the part ot the Senate, and two on the part of the House of Representatives, to whom will be bunded, as they are opened by the President of the Benute,the certificates of the electoral votes; and said tellers, having read the same in the presence and hearing of tbe two Houses thus assembled, will make a list of the votes as they shall appear from the said certificates; and the voles having been counted, the rcsultofthesame will be delivered to the President of tho Senate, who will there upon announce the state of th<r*vote and the names ,of the persons elected. The. Radicals are still in great perplexity over the Inauguration Bail. It seems that it was the .Inevitable nigger (hat broke up iheQrstscbcme. Certain folks would have him, and certain oth er folks wouldn’thavehim. Sotherowasasplll, Now these certain other folks are to have a hall at the Treasury, and at this ball tho colored gentleman who elected the President, in whose honor the ball Is given, is not to appear at all.— Strange consistency! Tho nigger is good enough to vote for Grant, hut Is not good enough to go to bis Inaugural Ball. In fact you remember that Grant himself put his r>ot upon the first ball, by intimating that It would be quite agreeable to him If the ball were dispensed with, and yet it is announced, now that Sambo has been given tho cold shoulder, that he will be present. What an appropriate place the Treasury De* pnriment Is fur the Radical thieves and swin dlers to have a dunce In. A city paper calls the prooospd ball “The Grand Walk-round of the Radical Office Seekers.” They are anxious to get Into the Treasury to see how the laud lies, Justus tobbers make examinations of a house, before they make their Curglarlousattack upon it. After the fourth of March, won't the fur fly. Eighteen millions of dollars a month won't be a circumstance to the increase in the national debt tucn. Tue Family Newspaper.— Franklin remarks that a man as often gets two dol lars for tbeoiie he expends in forming his mind, as he does for a dollar he lays out In any other way. A man eats a pound of sugar and it Is gone, and the pleasure he has enjoyed is ended, but the informa tion he gets from a newspaper is treasured up to be enjoyed anew, and to be used whenever occasion or inclination calls for it. A newspaper is not the wisdom of one man or two men ; it is the wisdom of the age and past ages. A family, wlth ont a newspaper is a year behind the times in general information; besides they cun never think much nor dud much to talk about And then there are the little ones growing up without any taste for reading. Who then, would ho without a newspaper—and who would read one without paying for it. 3Loc a I items ° , • No-rirr.—Aspeclalm'eetingof be Cum berland Fire Company will held in their Hall, on Friday 'evening, Feb. 12. Every member la requested tob(j present. E. D. QUIGLEY, Secretary. Off forthe Frontier.—On Tuesday morning last, a detachment of 175 U. S. snldicrri left Carlisle B .rrneks on route for Ff.rl M'Plierson, Nebraska. They were undi r command of Major M*Clellan, and belong to the 2nd cavalry. A New Church.— Before the cold weather set in, the Evangelical Associa tion laid the foundation fora new church, on West Loutber street, adjoining the Union Engine House. The building will doubtless be erected aa soon as the weath er permits. Concert Postponed- —We learn that the Soldiers* Orphans* School, at White Hall, find it impossible to give their con cert at the lime first announced, and have postponed it until the last of February or first of March, When the date is defi nitely settled, it will be announced in due season. Restored to Life. —It gave us great pleasure, on Saturday lust, to lake the hand of our friend Scott Coyle, who hud been so brutally murdered in Franklin comity, the week previous. Ho is quite a healthy looking ghost, and has no idea of being murdered by robbers so long as. the Notion business continues good. Hotel Changes.— There will be quite a changing about among the landlords in the Spring. Mr. John Hannon retires from tile Cormau House, and will be suc ceeded by Geo. Z. Bentz, who has pur chased the house. John B. Floyd leaves the Cumberland Vallfy House, which has been leased by Lewis Faber, who will be succeeded at the American House by Capt. William Ivarns, of Mournc township. Onrold friend Jerry Hannon has taken the Empire House, corner of Main and East streets, and is already doing a thri ving business. The Caulisle Springs.—We trust measures will be at once inaugurated to rebuild tire hotel .buildings at Carlisle Springs. As a place of summer resort, the Springs had become one of the Instir tutions of the Cumberland Valley, and when properly kept, always yielded a handsome revenue. It is pretty definitely decided that the late proprietor .will not rebuild, and the most feasible plan is'to organize a company, purchase the ground and proceed at once to erect substantial buildings at or near the old site. Tire medicinal properties of the Sulphur Springs have beeu so well tested, have recommended tnemseives to so many per sons throughout this State and Maryland, and have annually drawn together such a house full of visitors, that this commu nity cannot afford to let “the Springs” cease to exist as oneof our local institu tions. During the last thre^seasons, the Itotel Juts been literally crowded to over flowing, and weare unable to see why' it should not pay handsomely on an invest ment I f twenty or twenty-five thousand dollars. Who will be the first to move? The Great Dougherty Diamond.— Thackeray's ‘‘Great Hoggeriy Diamond’ and Wilkie Collins’ “Moonstone” have been thrown into the shade by a diamond which rumor placesin the possession ofa Beverend. gentleman at the lower end of the county'. In the household of this gentleman, • there has been for years a stone, deemed to be of some trifling val ue—a sortof an heir loom—kept us a play thing for the.children. A'week or so ago, a gentleman frond North Carolina, arrived at tiie house of the Kev. Doctor, and an nounced that he was a relative by mar riage, that there wasa family legend that Ilia grandfather or great grandfather, while walking in the fields, had picked up a stone to throw at a rabbit, and being struck by Us peculiar brilliancy, had car ried it home, where it was pronounced to be a most valuable diamond; that it was subsequently carried to England, where it was valued at the trifling sum of $14,- 000,000, Strange to say, this individual badadream about the diamond, and in his dream traced it to the house of the gentleman alluded to, where, still stranger tosay, he loundit.' Just think of it! A diamond worth 514,000,000, used fornceu tury for children to cut their gums on ! A diamond worth $14,000,000, being in tliis very town for years, and all of us in blissful ignorance of its existence I All bail to tbe noble North Carolinian for telling us how rich we are! „ Income Returns. —For the informa tion ol tax payers under the Internal Rev enue Laws of the Unlted’States, we pub lish the following staLement.of the'sour-' cea from which Income returns, are to be made up, with th© dodactions-aUowed: From profits In any trade; business, or vocation, from which lucome.iaactually derived, many interest therein wherever carried oh, - , . ♦ .

We feel sure that every intelli gent man and-woiuan within range of Carlisle, will avail themselves of this opportunity to hear the most celebrated of living American orators. A Boy Picture —Here is a good pic ture. We know the original—several of them. They love to.get in thedirt-they don’t mind about clothes, and can't fell their mothers how they tore tbem-lliey loose their books coming from school— the ‘cold doan’t effect them—in the spring they play ball, and play at mar bles—in the gutter—in the summer they fly kites, and after every circus they try standing on their heads. Snow is a de light to them, and they pop .snow-balk at clever folks who don’tiookas if they would get cross: 11 There's something in a noble boy, A brave. Tree hearted, careless one. With his unchecked, unbidden Joy, His dread of books and love oi fun! And In h is clear and ruddy smile, Unshaded by u thought of giftc.

I never saw anything like it.— The freaks of nature displayed here are very strange, and strike the beholder awe. But the air in some parts of the cave is close and stifling, and when we came out I found myself saddled wllba terrible fever, which entirely prostrate/ me. The physician had never seen a case like it before, and no remedy he prescribed seemed to do the least good. My life was despaired of. Mrs* Wilson, with whom I was residing, had in the bouse a bottle of Plantation Bitters, and she insisted I should try it, for she said she knew it to be a certain cure in all ca ses of fever, debility, ague, dyspepsia, &c. I had but little faith, but finally consen ted to try it as a last resort. In less than three hours after the first dose my fever left me ; in two days I was sitting up, uijd before Saturday night I*was as well as ever. I tell you all this that you may know how to act in any case of fever, or any similar disease. I firmly believe the Plantation Bitters saved my life. * In my next I will tell you about the Cave iu detail. A.

A postmaster is required to give no tice-by letter (returning the paper does not answer the law,) when a subscriber does not take his paper from the office and state the reason for its not being l fl * ken, and a neglect to do so makes the postmaster responsible to the publisher for the'payment* ‘ 2. Any persou who takes a paper reg ularly from the Post Office—whether u ■ reeled' to bis name or another—or wheth er he has subscribed or not, is respons • ble for the payment. 3.
