PATENT
COAL OIL GREASE.
Tift IS Grease is made from COAL OIL,
and has been found by repeated tests
to be the most economical, and at the
came time the best lubricator for Mill
Gearing, Stages, Wagons, Carts, Carriages,
Vehicles of all kinds, and all heavy bearings,
keeping the axles always cool, and not rcjuir
ing ihetn to be looked after for weeks. It has
been tested on railroad cars, and with one
soaking of the waste it has run, with the cars,
20,000 miles ! All railroad, omnibus, liverv
stable and Express companies that have tried
it pronounce it the neplxts ultra.
It combines the body and fluidity uf tallow,
beeswax and tar, and unlike general luhriea
it*, will not run off, it being warranted to
:-:tnd any temperature.
I have it in boxes 2} to irt lbs. Also kegs
and barrels from 30 to 400 lbs, for general
use and sale. The boxes are more prefera
ble: they are 0 inches in diameter by- 2$ inches
!eep, at.d hold 21 lbs net; the boxes arc clean,
and hardly a carman, teamster, expressman,
miller or farmer, that would not purchase
or" h x for trial. F. G. FRANCISCUS.

For the Educational Column.
The Causes of the War. No. I.
It would be an unpardonable wrong to
the youth of the present generation, to per
mit them to go uninformed concerning the
true nature and origin of the terrible war
now raging in our country. Experience
has taught us a very severe, but a much
needed lesson; let it not be our fault if there
shall ever be necessity for a repetition of it.
Let u* be truthful and frank in assigning
the causes of the rebellion which has so
nearly destroyed our government, and with
it oar free and enlightened institutions.
It is easy to talk of the wickedness of
treason, and to wish all sorts of bad luck
to arch-traitors; but it is far nobler to look
at facts and see wherein consists the motive,
what constitutes the mainspring, of that
treason. If we see that clearly, we can
more easily guard against its recurrence,
and thus enable our children to live a more
undisturbed life than we are now leading.
Political ambition has doubtless been ve
ry influential in stirring up the waters of
discord. Not a few of the Southern lead
ers felt much as Satan is represented by |
Milton as feeling,—that it was • better 'a
reign in hell than serve in heaven;' and as
their long career of domination seemed
likely to be definitely ended by the nation
al triumph of free priciples —not by the
oleotiou of a sectional President, as some
partisans falsely affirm —they determined to
try the bold venture of breaking up the
o-overnment, and securing fox themselves
undisturbed empire. The utter ignorance
of the mass of the Southern people render
ed them easy dupes of wily and unscrupu
lous leaders, and by a frenzied movement
the deed of Secession was wrought—not to
be undone save by the sacrifice of many
thousands of victims, some of them fur
nishing as costly blood as ever flowed in
American veins. Those leaders entered
into the hazardous game of treason with
£he full conviction that their mad schemes
would be realized by the defiant attitude of
a united South aided by a powerful party
at the North. The recent message of his
Sub-Excellency Jeff. Davis is a confession
of that fact. Party ties and watchwords —
the potent spell of a name , —these were
WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1862.
relied on to carry the Seceded States safely
over the abyss which must ever be crossed
by treason ; the North would be demorali-
Red by its divisions; the Government would
be utterly powerless to sustain itselt and to
crush rebellion; and perhaps the entire
control of the nation's interest would be
transferred by virtue of adroit management
and stern necessity, to the traitor leaders.
It was a splendid political dream that flit
ted through the fevered brains of the reb
els, —such as inspired Catiline and his com
peers to plot the ruin of Rome, —such as
deluded Burr into a villainy which no pat
riot forgives or forgets. A splendid dream
of political ambition! Regardless of Con
stitutional obligations, of personal integrity,
of national honor or interest, ot the first
principles of human justice and Christian
morality, these political Lucifers determined
to secure for their own enjoyment and ag
grandizement, a large portion if not the
whole of the country, with a desperation
of crime utterly unprecedented in civilized
nations. Robbery, perjury, outrage of ev
ery form were common and not unwelcome
allies in the great work of treason.
There were other causes of this war, yet
more potent and more fatal to national safe
ty and honor. Of these I will speak an
other time. S.

Losses in the Battle of Shiloh
A correspondent, writing from Pittsburg
Landing, gives the official figures of our ,
loss during the two days' battle. The to- '
tals are: killed, 1,735; wounded, 8,882;
missing, 3,956. Total killed, wounded and
missing, 13,573. This is, at least, twenty,
five per cent, of our whole force encased,
_!• . O O '
an extraordinary proportion.
The iMemphis Argus of Saturday even
ing, the 26th. gives the losses suffered by
forty regiments of rebels, as shown by offi
cial reports. They foot up as follows :
Killed, 927; wounded, 4,471; missincr, 361. i
The rebel regiments averaged a little over
four hundred effectives each. If they had
sixty thousand effectives in the fight, and
that is believed to be a low estimate, they
had near one hundred and fifty regiments
engaged. Let us say, to avoid exaggera
tion, that they had one hundred and forty
regiments. It all the regiments suffered
iu proportion with those reported, the rebel
loss would he killed, 3,244; wounded, 15,
648; missing, 1,273. Grand total, 20,135.
Of course these figures are in some de
gree inaccurate. Let us again lower
the estimate of the rebel forces, and say
that the forty regiments comprised one third ;
of their force; and it is not at all reasonble j
to suppose that they had less than one hun- j
dred and twenty regiments. Calculated
from this basis, upon the ratio given by the
official reports of the enemy, there were
killed 2.781, wounded, 13,413, missing 1,-
082. Total loss 17,277. There is no reas
on to suppose that the enemy's regiments
which lost most heavily are those first re
ported. We have, for instance, before us
the names of the killed of the Fifty-fifth
Tennessee, a regiment not included in the
report of the Argus, and they number six
ty—more than any one named in the Argus
lost. The total number of rebels wounded
and unwounded who fell into our hands
was over a thousand. These, with the
stragglers from the enemy's ranks, would
make up their missing, and in that partic
ular verify our estimate. Our correspon
dent writing from the battle field, three
weeks after the engagement, after long and
earnest search fur the truth, says: 'I deem
it safe to say that at least three thousand
Confederates were gathered up by our bu
rying parties.' If the enemy lost in killed
three thousand, and the proportion between
the killed and wounded was the same as in
those regiments whose official returns are
printed, their loss in wounded was 14,467;
and the missing, oontinuing this calculation,
would number 1.167. Total loss 18,634.
Our killed are in proportion to the woun
ded as one to four and a half. The Rebel
killed, according to their official report, was
as one to four and two-thirds.
It has heon the impression of our troops,
gathered from the great number of Rebel
dead found on the field in proportion to the
wounded, that our wounded far out num
bered theirs. The first glimpse at the Reb
el official reports show this to have been a
mistake. Over three hundred died during
the first week after the battle. And yet it is
impossible that the Rebel woundet could
have been as well cared for as ours. They
were obliged to haul their mangled masses
over terrible ruads to Corinth, and thence
they could only be removed by cars. Our
wounded were, however, better cared for
than were the wounded in any great battle
ever fought at a distance from a oity. A
great many of our wounded were struck by
buckshot and round bullets, and their
wounds are not very severe. The wounded
of the enemy almost invariably suffered
from the terrible conical balls, and under
all the circumstances, most inevitably per
ish by thousands.
Our loss in killed and wounded alone,
was nine thousand six hundred and seven
teen. The enemy's loss in killed and woun
ded—taking the account that three thou
sand were buried on the field, as probably
the most veritable estimate—wan seventeen
thousand four hundred and sixty seven.
Killed and wounded on both sides. 27,084.
These terrible figures show the battle of
Shiloh, as it is now generally called, to have
been one of the greatest of modern times,
the greatest since Waterloo, except Solfe
rino.
English Tribute to the Yankees
A correspondent, of the London Tele
graph writing at Washington on March
11th, of the combat between the Monitor
and the Merrimac, sajs: But one hope it
will at least not be premature to express.
It is that the English Government will at
once see the wisdom of attaching the best
military or naval engineer in the country,
and also the best Royal artilleryman, to the
British Legation at Washington, with a
view to observing and taking cognizance of
all the many experiments of this high y
ingenious people in ordnance and ship buil
ding. It is high time that our ignorant
superciliousness and contemptuous indiffer
ence of America should cease. More is to
be learned here than anywhere in the world;
and if we are such madmen as to shut our
eyes to this fact, in the face of the grave
eventualities which loom so palpably
through the future, and to which it is hard
ly possible to allude in definite language,
l_ li ■ O O /
the blame be upon our own heads!
The same writer, describing the forward
movement of General McClellan's army,
says: Such an imposing display of strength,
so much of the pomp, pride and circum
stance of glorious war, has rarely been wit
nessed in any nation as was yesterday vis
ible in Washington. From dawn to dewy
eve, infantry, cavalry and artillery continu
ed to pour in an unbroken stream across
.the Potomac; and if I should say that old
military men, who have seen camps and ar
mies the world over, and have watched
French troops filing by in Peris for two
hours together, confessed that they had nev
er witnessed such a manifestation of power,
I should convey a very imperfect and inad
equate idea of the impression conveyed to
all beholders.
By far the most imposing arm in the ser
vice is the artillery. It is said that Gen
eral McClellan ordered twenty batteries, in
all one hundred and twenty guns, to cross
the rive. lam confident from what I saw
that this is the lowest estimate of the field
guns which yesterday moved to the front.
On the field of Solferino, Louis Napoleon
had one hundred and eighty uuns in posi
tion ; but here, in connection with only a
single arm}*, one hundred and twenty guns,
ot a calibre far superior tc the French, were
in motion together, exclusive of those
which had crossed long before; and it can
nut be pretended that any nation on earth
is so strong in artillery at this moment as
the Federal States of America. Brass how
itaers, Parrott gun-, caissons tumbrils, am
munition wagons, forges, moved forward in
long and endless line.
A Camp of Women at Island No. Ten.
A letter to the Albany Journal, describ
ing Island No. 10, after its capture, says :
Cue of the features of the deserted rebel
camp, was a peculiarity which we have not
met with heretofore. On a beautiful hill,
surrounded with beautiful groves, budding
wild flowers, and the accompanying charms
of a rural retreat, we found a bevy of
nymphs encamped enjoying soldierly life in
real earnest. There were twelve or fifteen
of them, of different ages, but all young
and more or less fair to look upon. They
sat around the camp fire, and cooked their
breakfast, a littie disheveled and rumpled,
as might perhaps be expected, in remem
brance of the scenes of excitement they
had passed through, but yet as much com
posed, and as much at home as though
they had campaigned it all their lives.—
There was a stray lock of hair dangling
here and there, an unlaced bodice granting
chary glimpses of vast luxuriance of bust,
a stocking down at the heel, or a garter
with visible downward tendencies—all of
which was attributable to our early visit.
There were all the marks of femininity
about the place. The embowering trees
were hung with hoop skirts, and flaunting
articles, which looked in the distance like
abbreviated pantaloons. A glance at the
interior of the tent showed magnificent
disorder. Dimity and calico, silk, feathers
and all the appurtenances of a female bou
doir were visible. It was a rara avis in
terra —a new bird in the woods.
These feminine voyageurs were real
campaigners. The chivalry of the south,
ever solicitous for the sex. could not resist
the inclination for its society, and hence
the eamp of nympliß by the river side, in
the embowering shade, et cetera. I will
not say much for their fair fame, or for the
good name of the confederate officers,
whose baggage was mingled in admirable
confusion with the rumpled dimity and
calico, whose boots and spurs hung upon
the hoops, skirts and unm.entionables, and
whose old hats ornamented the tent poles
or decked the heads of the fair adventur
esses It was a new feature in war.
A Heroic Boy
' A little boy, only twelve yeaw old,
whose mother resides in Woodburn, return
ed last week from Pittsburg Landing. He
was a drummer in a company of whieb his
father was a lieutenant. His name ie
Charley Bliss. lam well acquainted with
the family, having been their pbyeiaian.
1 his boy went through the whole of the
Donelsou fight, and was engaged during
the two days of that at Pittsburg. His
father was wounded in three places, whilst
he had his clothes pierced with bullets,
and blood once slightly drawn from
about the knee. Ilia drum was entirely
shot away ! The little fellow's gear looked
very rusty, and his girlish face was tanned
ts dark as chocolate His colonel sent him
home, with four wounded men, by whom
he had remained, and to whom he had
carried water on the field when the battle
raged the hottest. They say he never flinch
ed. At Donelson he got hold of a gun
dropped by a rebel, and fired twenty rounds
himself, by borrowing cartridges from the
soldiers about him. I tried to get him to
stay with us over night, promising to take
him home in my carriage, early in the
morning. But no, he preferred to walk
three or four miles in the mud and rain,
after dark, fer he wanted to see his moth
er that night. His father was left behind
in his hospital.'
A Sad Case.
A Tripple Bereavement. —On Wednes
day last, as Lieut. Van Annan, of the 58th
Illinois was passing near the Post Office,
he was accosted by a youthful woman, who
said that seeing the figures 'sß' on his hat,
she hoped he might be able to tell how she
could get a letter to an officer in that regi
ment. lie said he would be happy to
oblige her if he could. She said she had
written several letters and received no an
swer. 'What is the name?' inquired Lieut.
\an Arman. ' Lieut. Fife,' answered the
lady. 'I am sorry to say that Lieut. Fife
is dead ; he was killed at Pittsburg,' said
\an Arman. The effect was terrible. Al
most instantly the lady sank to the ground,
fainting. When restored her grief was
most distressing. Lieut. Fife was her hus
band. But, unfortunately, the sad budget
of news was not all told. It appears that
her father was Capt. Kurth, of Company
F, 58th regiment, and her uncle was First
Lieut. Kurth, and her husband Second
Lieut of the same regiment. Iler father
is now a prisoner, with the most of his
regiment, in the hands of the rebels, and
her uncle was wounded severely in the en
gagement. It is rarely that such a con
centration of misfortune falls upon a single
family.— Chicago Journal.
A Singular Prophfcy.
The following circumstance, says the
Richmond Whig, recently occurred atPen
sacula, and its truth is vouched for by a
trustworthy officer of the army !
1 A soldier in the Confederate service
fell into a long and profound sleep, from
which his comrades vainly essayed to arouse
him. At last he woke up himself. He
then stated that he should die the next af
ternoon at four o'clock, for it was so reveal
ed to hiui in his dream. He said in the
last week of the month of April would be
fought the greatest and bloodiest battle of
modern times, and that early in May peace
would break upon the land more suddenly
and unexpectedly than the war had done
in the beginning. The first part of the
prophetic dream has been realiied, for the
soldier died the next day at four o'clock,
P. M. Will the rest be in April and May ?
Let believers in dreams wait and see."—

H?*k-Gov. Yates of Illinois, has paid a

The Tax Bill.
Since the report of the tax bill publish
ed, several new amendments have been
made to it, as follows :
For kissing a pretty girl, $1 00.
For kissing a homely one, $2.00 —the ex
tra amount being added probably as a pun
ishment for the mau's folly.
For ladies kissing one another §IO.OO. The
tax is placed at this rate in order to break up
the custom altogether—it being regarded by
our M. C.'s as a piece of inexcusable absur
dity.
For ererv flirtation, 10 cents.
Every young man who has more than one
' girl' is taxed §5.00.
For courting in the kitchen, 25 cents.
Courting in the sitting-room, 50 cents.
Courting in the parlor, SI.OO.
Courting in a romantic place, $5.00, and
50 cents for each offence thereafter.
Seeing a lady home from church, 25 cents
for each offence.
Seeing ber homo from the dime society, 5
cents—the proceeds to be devoted to the re
lief of disabled army chaplains.
For a lady who paints 50 cents.
Fur wearing low necked dresses, SI.OO.
For each curl on a lady's bead, above ten,
5 cents.
For every unfair device for entrapping
young men into matrimony, $5.00.
For wearing hoops larger than ten feet in
circumference, 8 cents for each hoop.
Old bach's over thirty are taxed $lO.
Over forty, S2O.
Over fifty, SSO, and sentenced to banish
ment in Utah.
Each pretty lady to be taxed frem 25 cts.
to $25 —she to fix the estimate on her own
beauty. It is thought that a very large sum
will be realised from this provieon.
Each boy baby, 50 cents.
Each girl baby, 25 cents.
Families having more than eight babies are
not to be taxed ; and for twins, a premium of
S4O will be paid out of the funds accruing
from the tax on old bachelors.
Each Sunday loafer on street corners or
about church doors is to be taxed his full
