SAT.E OF Fu RN ITU111•1 OF TILE PROVOST
MARSHAL'S OFFICE.-011 Friday afternoon
the desks, tables, stoves and other furni
ture belonging to the Provost Marshal's
ottice were deposited under our windows, in
the corner of Centre S,piare, preparatory to
its sale at auction, whirl' took place 011
Saturday. Thesearticles attracted some at
tention, and we noticed curious men ex
amining then' with apparent interest. Now
smile pedestrian who had stood in bodily
terror of the draft would stop and take a
look at the "old lumber," heave a sigh of
relief and pass on, thankful that the days
of drafting were over; and then some fel
low of more inquiring turn of mind would
stop to lift up the lids of the desks, pry into
the pigeon holes, and make a carefully mi
nute examination of the various articles.
The "fatal wheel " was not exposed to view
or to sale. What became of it we know
riot, neither do we know that we rare to
know. We hope it has either been burned
or hid away where it will never lie heard of
again. The variuu, articles sold cheap—
the amount realized being seventy dollars.
We bought a couple of ink-stands, for
which we paid six cents each. We shall
keep them as relics. So ends the reign of
Provost Marshals ill this county, we hope
forever.
SUICIDE.-011 Thursday naming Mr.
Henry Diksinger, of Elizabethiewn, com
mitted suicide by hanging himself in the
garret of his residence. Ile was a young
man highly esteemed and leaves it young
wife to mourn the rash act. We have not
learned the partiettiars nor the reason ILS
signed.
ALL ',U t:Nslis returned tu the County
Treasurer by the Mercantile Appraiser,
must be lifted on ur I,efore July Ist, :tiler
that date they will he handed to an Alder
man for collection as per act of Assembly.
APPEALS.—The LT. S. Assessor for the
9th District, Mr. J. K. Alexander, \VW hear
appeals on Monday and Wednesday, July
3rd and sth, between the hours of 5 A. M.
and 5 o'clock P. M., at his office in Centre
Square, Lancaster. Any person agrieved
or erroneously assessed under the Internal
Revenue laws for license, incomes, ite., can
then and there attend.
REMEDY FOR THE CATERPILLAR.—Per-
Imps it is not generally known that a ring
of tar, half an inch wide, rubbed around the
trunk of the tree, will prevent the parent
caterpillar from ascending into the branches
and of course, where it is applied in time,
no nest will appear, unless there should be an
over hanging tree unprotected, from which
they could let themselves down by their
web. ties tar, which is easily obtained in
cities, is probably the I iest, and a slight ring
applied anywhere between the root and
branches, will answer the purpose. A
small quantity swabbed around peach or
other fruit trees, close to the ground, will
also prevent the moth front depositing the
eggs which produce the borer,or " what-d'ye
call-it." The tree should first " wormed,"
or examined, to see that it is not already
infected.
PUT STAMPS ON ...YOUR Ler•rens.—The
number of letters now being received at the
dead letter office, sent there under the new
law which makes prepayment of postage
compulsory, amounts to more than 15,000
per week. This is mainly caused by the
ignorance or carelessness of those forward
ing letters. Every one should remember
that the old law which allowed double post
age to be collected on letters that were not
prepaid has been repealed, and that now
every letter not entitled to be carried free,
must have a stamp on it or be sent to the
dead letter office. It is astonishing what a
degree of carelessness is manifested by peo
ple in a matter like this, in which informa
tion is so easily accessible to all.
HARVEST is almost at hand. The wheat
and rye are ripening rapidly, and the latter
is almost ready for the sickle. The crop of
the present season is said to be untiso.,lly
heavy—a ,atuse of gratification among the
farmers. El ay-making is progressing as
rapidly as circumstances will pert:nit. The
force of hands is somewhat limited, although
laborers are not as scarce as during last
NEW COUNTERFEIT FIFTY-CENT NOTE.—
Counterfeits on the newly-issued fifty-cent
fractional currreny notes have just made
their appearance. The execution is poor .
The engraving is scratchy and the green
plate on the back of the note is of a faint and
dim character. Numbers of them will
doubtless be placed in circulation and the
public should be on the watch for them.
To EDITOR , 4.—Williain T., son of Mr. F.
Detweiler, of the Chronicle office,
disap
peared from his home on Monday, the sth
of June, in a mysterious manner; and as
no clue to his wereaboffls has been obtained,
it is supposed that he has accompanied
some of the soldiers to their homes, He is
twelve years old, has light hair, cut close,
and is small for his age. Any information
in regard to him, sent to the Citron icle office,
Washington, D. C., will be gratefully
received by his afflicted parents. Editors
copying this notice will confer a favor.
HENRY E. MILLER has been appointed
Post Master at Salunga, this county, vice
John Myers, resigned.
WELL Soi.n.—Mr. Henry Trout, of this
city, sold his Family Trotting Mare, known
as " Lancaster Poll," to a New Yorker for
the sum of $l2OO, the check for which was
cashedat the Lancaster County Bank. Tilis
is it big price, but Mr. T. keeps none 4lut
blooded stock.
BE NOT DECEIVED.—The public are par
ticularly cautioned against being deceived
by some persons who from ignorance, sel
fish motives, or some other reason repre
sent, that Speer's Samburg Port Wine is
made with sugar.
It is a well-known fact that tl.e name
wine often is applied to a mixture of juice,
sugar and water, and sometimes cheap
liquor, in various proportions, forming a
cordial and not a wine.
The Samburg grapes, however, need no
such unnatural admixtures with their juice,
as they contain all the properties essential
to a rich nutrative and valuable wine.
Sold by Henry E. Slaymaker, No. 31 East
King street, Lancaster.
A HAPPY TIME.—On Saturday evening
last; a splendid banquet was given by Mr.
Ez C. Reed to his fellow-members of the

QUALIFICATIONS OF A LOCAL EDITOR.-
A facetious cotemporary gives below the
" qualifications of a Local Editor. - Ile
speaks "by the book :"
It is easy enough to be a Local Editor—if
you only think so—but some special quali
fications are essential to success. For the
enlightinent young men, who have an
itching that Way, we will enumerate some
of the indispensable virtues, without which
success is impossible. A good Local Editor
must combine the loquacity of a mag pie,
with the impudence of the d—l. He must
be a walking encyclopedia of useful knowl
edge. lie oust know how to time a horse
race, gaff a cock, teach Sunday-school,
preach a creditable sermon, run a saw mill,
keep a hotel, turn a double somersault, and
brew a whiskey punch. Ile must he up to
a thing or two in political economy, and
au fait in the !natter of cooking beans.—
On the trail of mysterious items he must
be a veritable sleuth-hound. His hide
must be like that of a rhinoceros. He must
be insensible to the cruelest snubs, and
manifest no sense of anger when he is
kicked down stairs. Ile must throw mod
esty to the dogs, and let his tiger howl. But
above all, he must be an adept at puffing.
The nearer he approaches to the condition
of a blacksmith's bellows, the better he will
succeed. Ile must be ready at all times tosay
something funny in regard to Smith's gro
cery, or to surround Miss Flounce's milli
nery establishment with a halo of glowing
adjectives. lie must be enthusiastic on
the subject of hams, verbose in extolling
hardware, and highly imaginative in the
ma ter of dry goods. He must look pleased
when invited to walk sixteen squares
through the broiling sun to write a six-line
puff for a labor-saving churn, or a patent
washing machine. He must feel grateful
when invited to dine at theDogsnose Hotel,
and write a glowing account of the excel
lence of the hash and durability of the
beefsteak. If he feels any sense of humili
ation in sitting down to it festive gathering,
on the occasion of the presentation of a sword
to Capt. Sankopanzy, or a set of shyer service
to a horse inspector, he must smother it,
and revenge himself on the champagne and
cigars. He must affect to believe that he is
invited in a purely social way, and not for
the sake of haying him write a good ac
count of the ceremonies, with three columns
of speeches in full, for the next evenin. , 'S pa
per. If he flags in his description of Hodges
premium bull, or" lets down in writing up
the oil indications on Skovendyke's farm,
he must take it kindly when he is reproved
flr his shortcomings. In the matter of
shows, the Local must be always brilliant.
He must talk learnedly of panoramas, with
a liberal admixture of knowing words, such
as "warmth," " tone," " foreshortening,"
"high lights," "foreground," "prospective,"
,te.; he must be " heavy " on concerts, with
a capacity to appreciate Miss Squawk's ex
ecution of difficult feats ill the "upper re
gister;" he must be ecstatic in praise of
double-headed calves and eloquent in behalf
of fat women and living skeletons.
II i NTS TO BATHER :A.-At this warm sea
son, when bathing is so popular, it will be
well to observe the following practical hints'
which are taken front the London .S'ixpenny
Magazine,:
On first plunging into cold water there
comes a shock which drives the blood to the
central parts of the system. But immedi
ately a reaction take+ place, which is assist
ed by the cx eivise ot . swimming, produeim*,
,•veil in wmer of a 11/W temperature, an
agreeable warmth. The stay in the water
should never he prolonged beyond the
period of this excitement. If the water be
left while this warmth continues, and the
body immediately dried, the healthy glow
over the whole surface will be delightful.
To remain iu the water after the first re
action is over, produces a prolonged chilli
ness, a shrinking of the flesh, aud a contrac
tion of the skin, by no means favorable to
health or enjoyment ; for it is only in water
thoroughly warmed by the summer heats,
where we may bathe for many hours with
impunity.
Certain precautions are necessary. Mod
erate exercise, by eumntoning into action
the powers of the system, and quickening
the circulation, is better than inactivity.
We should never go into water immediately
after a meal, nor while the process of diges
tion is going forward. Nor should we
plunge into the water when violently heat
ed, or in a state of profuse perspiration.—
Such imprudences are often fatal, especially
if the water be unusually cold, if tee warm,
the temperature of the body may be re
duced by bathing the wrists and wetting the
head.
Before meals, rather than after, and espe
cially before breakfast and before supper,
are proper seasons for bathing. The heats
of the day are to be avoided, but in very
hot weather a -bath is useful to cool the
blood ? and secure refreshing sleep. If in
the middle of the day, a shaded place should
be chosen, or the head protected from the
sun by being kept wet, or by wearing a
straw hat, as is Wced by the fashionable
French ladies ar watering places.
The sea is the best place for swimming.—
Owing to the greater specific gravity of salt
water in it, as are other substances. A ship
coming out of salt water into fresh, sinks
perceptibly in the water. The difference is
nearly equal to the weight of the salt held
in solution.
The bottom should be of hard sand, gravel
or smooth stones. Sharp stones and shells
cut the feet—weeds may entangle them.
The swimmer must avoid floating grass
and quicksand. The new beginner must
be careful that the water does not run be
yond his depth, and that the current can
not carry him into a deeper place; also,
that there be no holes in the bottom. As
persons are ever liable to accidents, &c., it
is always best that boys or girls should be
acdompanied by those who are older than
themselves, and who will be able to save
them in any emergency..
ATTENTION is directed to the advertise
ment of the City Treasurer, in reference to
City Tax and Water Rents,
CONVENIENCE or Pram 7.Bo's.—The sub
scriptions to the Third Seriesof the 7.30
Notes are steadily increasing sometimes
Punning to near four millions a - day. : , ;The
Treasury Department is now filling all or-.
dere on the day they are received,
ei nd-the
Country banks and sub-eients WW be able
teo - keep a full supply onband for the prompt
accommodation oftheir customers. There is
no necessity for further argunient in rela
tion to the desirableness of this loan. Our
war expenses are nearly over, and
when we square the books, Government
will , need no further loans, except as
they may be required in the future for
the redemption
,of such portions of those
now made as it may not suit our conveni
ence to pay, and these will be obtained at
peace and not at war rates. Indeed a very
large portion of the community believe that
it will be better for the country simply to
pay the interest, and permit the debt to re
main as a capital—a permanent basis forthe
development of our great resources. The
man who has Government bonds has prac
tically just as much money as if the same
amount were in bank-notes. The bonds are
simply a permanent credit—representing so
much of the national wealth, and av ailable
as capital for any business enterprise, with
the advantage of drawing interest until
used—while the bank-notes of National
Banks (and we shall soon have no other)
are but the smaller hand-to-band circula
ting representatives of the bonds, cut up for
convenience, but bearing no interest. Thus
the holder of a U. S. 7.30 note in every prac
tical sense has his money, and at the same
time gets a liberal interest for it. The national
debt has certain.y made the wealth of the
country available for great practical results.
It has mobilized its capital, and given a
firm foundation, not only to our banking,
but other great public and private interest
—that require credit on the one hand, but
that security for the people on the other, of
which the country's bond is the best and
only sufficient representative. We under
stand that but about one hundred and forty
millions of the Third Series of 7.30 notes
remain to be subscribed for, and our readers
will remember that a hundred millions of
the Second Series were taken in a single
week at the close. ,

A Letter from Ajax
CA MP NEAR CRYsTAI, Itl NUS, 11. C.,
une 20th, Iti6s.
MESSRS. EDITORS: 1 cannot refrain from
giving publicity through the medium of
your interesting sheet, of heartfelt thanks
and gratitude to the " Patriot Daughters"
of Lancaster, for bountiful supply of
"rimuts" forwarded to 79th, now browsing
near Washington. "Joan of Arc'' with
all her boasted chivalry, feminine heroism
and historical refulgence, cannot be more
endeared in the hearts of her countrymen,
than our own dear, inestimable lady-band
of Patriot Daughters - of Lancaster city.
Ever since their organization—although
we were not its immediate recipients—have
the banks of the Potomac literally groaned
with refreshments front their hands. Hun
dreds of tons of "good things '' since the
outbreak of this rebellion have they scat
tered profusely into the " Old Dominion "
for the benefit of her State soldiery. Their
noble ;old iatriotic deeds of charity are ein
blazoned in letters of gold every surviv
ing heart that partook, never never to be
erased. May Heaven smile on Madame
Hubley and her "fairy" associates who
have so valiantly stepped forth to alleviate
suffering humanity, in their country's
darkest hour.
At the bare announcement of shipment
of " ammunition" at Lancaster, en route for
camp 79th Regt., Pa. Vet. —it being a
novelty, as Sherman's raiders are notac
customed to such stylish mode of living—
all were on "tip-toe, - and a feast antici
pated, knowing the liberality of _Lamas
terirms, and extensive arrangements made
with the inner man for reception. Haver
sacks were speedily renovated, and greasy
contents, "sow-belly" and "salt chunk"
promiscuously scattered around. In fact,
the all absorbing topic of the day was, ats
to quantity, nicety and disposal. The lat
ter, I presume, being altogether a question
of taste and opportunity. Pans, kettles,
grid irons, buckets and every other con
ceivable culinary utensil or implement
around ctunp were hunted up and secured.
Knives sharpened, platters cleansed, spoons
scoured and carefully deposited in one
corner of tent, with ready access. All were
now prepared for the " charge." Skirmish
ers Were deployed td catch the first glimpse,
of the invading "Samaritan," when an ap
parent stranger rode leisurely up the road,
halting in front of C'apt. Nixdorf's quarters,
where a group bad assembled, at the same
time proffering his hand, followed by the
expression or salutation "how are you
Andy?" one glance and the sequel was
told. It was Kevenski, the faithful and
trusty agent" advance guard" of Pro
vision Train. lie was escorted to Colonel
Miles headquarters, where preliminary
arrangements were made to have "goods"
conveyed to camp for distribution as they
were deposited at Railroad Depot, Wash
ingiou City. Five mule teams were hastily
harnessed and seen winding their way
snail-like towards the city of " filial affec
tion," whilst their faithful whackers kept
time by whistling
" who would not a :soldier he," dc.
They arrived in due time in the evening
for a regular old-fashion Lancaster county
supper, under the scrutinizing eye of our
esteemed brave and patriotic Col. Miles,and
a fair and honorable distribution was made,
officers fulling iu same ratio as privates.
Sunday, June 18th, was indeed a festive
day for the 79th. In tent, outside and un
der, almost every surrounding tree could be
seen seated a bronzed and tawny " Vet."
clutching with the tenacity of a bull terrier,
a chunk of soft bread, besmeared With but
ter and topped with applebutter. Shades
of immortal Washington, what a luxury,
and how the men waded in. Fron;✓ the in
most recesses of hearts that never before,
perhaps, regarded the recording angel, were
Whispered fervent prayers for the protection,
health and prosperity for that gallant band of
"Daughters" whose patriotic labors, zeal and
unremitting exertions, has entitled them
justly to a conspicuous place in the galaxy
of regenerated America, as co-workers.—
Mav those in "single blessedness" soon
appreciate the endearing ties of " sticking '
to the Union.
I regret to state a mutinous spirit and
outbreak manifested itself last evening
among different brigades camping around
Washington, which was partially carried
into effect. Men want their pay and dis
charge according to promise ! Why is this
not attended-to ? Some are here who have not
not been paid off for ten to sixteen months,
and have large families to support. Surely,
it cannot lie an oversight of official digni
taries. If so, .it ought to he remedied by
all means. Besides this complicated in
quiry another of far more importance has
risen, in the shape of "can Veterans he re
tained three years and does Government
intend keeping them for full servitude of
time?" Have "they lopped off the tail
during the war," or is that portion a minor
consideration. Will not some able ex
pounder of the Constitution or Army Regu
lation enlighten us on this prodigious ques
tion.
If, by "hocuspocu,s " the war-worn Vet
eran is bound to fill up time, a political
cleansing of the " t Egian stable" may he
expected,
For thousands of " Vets." in sight of the dome,
Swear political regeneration on Pantheon lime,
The boys of the 79th are improving in
looks and weight since the broadside ava
lanche poured into them by the Patriot
Daughters. May their firing be loud, long
and never ceasing, until the last hero
"stacks arms." Officers all well and buoy
ant in spirits. Col. Miles never looked bet
ter. Major Locher the very personification
of good health. Capt. Nixdorf still limps
some from effect of a wound received at
Bentonville, but as "merry as a cricket."
Lt. " Yeric" is still the same personage.= .
Bars liave no effect. He yet mingles with

Restoration.
Interview of the South Carolina Dele.
ration with the President. • -
-I- WASHINGTON, June 24.—A delegation
from South Carolina, consisting of the
following named persons ' had an inter
view this afternoon. ith the President,
by appointment : Judge Frost, Isaac E.
Holmes, George W. Williams, W. H.
Gnililisind J.A. Steinmeyer, Frederick
Richards, Wm. Whaley, James H. Tay
lor, R H. Gill, and Joseph A. Yates.
The President said it was his intention
to talk plainly, so there might be no
misunderstanding. Therefore, it were
better they should look each other in
the face, and not imitate the ancient
augurs, who, when they met one
another, would smile at their success in
deceiving the people.
He said if this Union was to be pre
served it must be on the principle of
fraternity—both the Northern and
Southern States maintaining certain
relations to the Government. A State
cannot be out of the Union, and there
fore, none of them having gone out we
must deal with the question ofcestora
tion and not reconstruction., °He sus
pected [bathe was a better States Rights
man than some of those now present.
Mr. Holms—You always claimed to
be.
The President replied—He always
thought that slavery could not be sus
tained outside of the Constitution of the
United States, and that whenever the
experiment was made it would be lost.
whether it could or could not, he was
for the Union, and if slavery set itself
up to control the goverment, the gov
ernment must triumph and slavery
perish. The institution of slavery made
the issue, and we might as well meet it
like wise, patriotic and honest men.
All institutions must be subordinate to
the government, and slavery has given
way. He could not, if he would, remand
it to its former status.
He knew that some he now addressed
looked upon him as a great people's
man and a radical ; hut, however un
pleasant it might be to them, he had no
hesitation in saying that before and af
ter he entered public life that he was
opposed to monopolies, and perpetuities
and entails. For this he used to be de
nounced as a demagogue. When they
had a monopoly in the South in slaves,
though he had bought and held slaves,
he had never sold one. From the Mag
na Charta we had derived our ideas of
freedom of speech and liberty of the
press, and unreasonable searches, and
that private property should not be taken
for public uses without just compensa
tion. He had these notions fixed in his
mind, and was, therefore, opposed to
this class of legislation. Being provi
dentially brought to his present posi
tion he intended to exert the power and
influence of the government, so as to
place in power the popular heart of this
nation. He proceeded on the principle
that the great masses are not like mush
rooms, clinging about a stump and ow
ing their existence to the murky
weather. He believed that this nation
was sent on a great mission, to afford an
example of freedom and substantial
happiness to all the powers of the earth.
The Constitution of the United States,
in speaking of persons to be chosen as
representatives in Congress, says : " The
electors in each State shall have the
qualifications requisite for electors to
the most numerous branch of the State
Legislature."
Here we find a resting place. This
was the point at Which the rebellion
commenced. All the States were in the
Union, moving in harmony ; but a por
tion of them rebelled and to some extent
paralyzed and suspended the operations
of their governments. There is consti
tutional obligation resting upon the
United States Government to put down
rebellion, suppress insurrection, and to ,
repel invasion. The slaves went into
the war as slaves and came out free men
of color. The friction of the rebellion
has rubbed out the nature and character
of slavery. The loyal men who were
compelled to bow and submit to the re
bellion should now, that the rebellion
is ended, stand equal to loyal men
everywhere. Hence the wish of resto
ration and trying to get back the States
to the point at which they formerly
moved in perfect harmony.
He did not intend to serve any par
ticular clique or interest. He would
say to the delegation that slavery is
gone as an institution. There was no
hope that the people of South Carolina,
could be admitted into the Senate or
the House of Representatives until they
had aflbrded evidence by their conduct. l;
of this truth. The policy, now that the
rebellion is suppressed, is not to restore
the State Governments through mili
tary rule, but by the people. While the
war has emancipated the slaves, it has
emancipated a larger number of white
men. He would talk plain.
The delegation said that was what.
they desired.
He could go to men who had owned
fifty or a hundred slaves, and who did
not care as much for the poor white
men as they did for the negro. Those
who own the land have the capital to
employ, and therefore some of our
Northern friends are deceived when
they, living afar off, think they can ex
ercise a greater control over the freed
men than the Southern men who have jj
been reared where the institution of
slavery prevailed.
Now, he did not want the late slave
holders to control the negro votes against
white men. Let each State judge of
of the depository of its own political.-
power. He was for emancipating the
white man as well as the black.
Mr. Holmes asked : "Is that not al
ton-ether accomplished ?"
The President replied that he did not,
think the question was fully settled..
The question to whether the black man.
shall be engrafted in the constituency,
will be settled as we go along. He
would not disguise the fact that, while
he had been persecuted and denounced
at the South as a traitor, he loved the
great mass of the Southern people. He
opposed the rebellion and its breaking
out and fought it everywhere ; and now
he wanted the principles of the govern
merit carried out and maintained.
Mr. Holmes interrupted by saying:
We want to get back to the same post
tion as you describe. As we are with- i
out law, no courts are open, and yen
have the power to assist us.
The President replied: The Govern
meat cannot go on unless it is right.
The people of South Carolina must have
a Convention and amentrtheir .Constir
tution by abolishing slavery, and this
must be done in good faith ; and the
Convention or Legislature must adopt
the proposed amendment to the Consti
tution of the United States which pro
hibits and excludes slavery everywhere.
One of the delegates said: We are ,
most anxious for civil rule, for we have
had more than enough of military des
potism.
The President, resuming, said that,
as the Executive, he could only take.
the initiatory steps to enable them to do
the things which it was incumbent
upon them to perform.
Another of the delegates remarked
that it was assumed in some parts of
this country that,-in consequence of the
rebellion, the Southern States had for
feited their rights as members of the
Confederacy and that if they were re
stored it could only be on certain condi
tions—one of which was that slavery
shall be abolished. This could be done
only through a convention.
The President repeated that the fric
tion of the rebellion had rubbed slavery
out; but it would be betterto so declare
by law. As one of the delegates had
just remarked that the Constitution of
South Carolina did not establish slavery
it would be better to insert a clause
therein antagonistic to slavery.
Judge Frost said—The object of our
prayer is the appointment of a Gover
nor. The people of South Carolina will.
accept these conditions in order that law
and order may be restored, and that en
terprise and industry maybe directed to
useful ends. We desire restoration as
soon as possible. It is the part of wis
dom to make the best of circumstances.
Certain delusions have been dispelled
by the revolution, among them that
slavery was an element of political
strength and moral power. It is very
certain that the old notion respecting
State Rights, in the maintenance of
which those who in South Carolina
made the rebellion erred, has ceased to
exist. Another delusion, namely, that
"Cotton is king," has also vanished in
the mist.
We are to come back with these no-
Eons dispelled and with a new system
of labor. The people of South Carolina
will cordially co-operate with the gov
ernment in making that labor effective,
and elevating the negro as much as they
can. It is, however, more the work of
time than the labor of enthusiasm and
fanaticism. The people .of the South.
have the largest interest in the qnestion.
We are willing to co-operate for selfish,
if for no higherreasons. We have taken
the liberty, encouraged by your kind
neas, to throw out suggestions by which
the pOll4 of the government will be
most surely and effectively stibserved.
repeat that the new system of labor
is to be inaugurated by sober, sound , and
discreet judgment. The negroes' are
iorant. Their minds are much in
play , with liberty. They are apt to
confound liberty with licentiousness.
Their great idea is, I fear, that freedom
consists in exemption from work. We
will take in good faith and carry out
your intentions with zeal and the hope
for the hest, and none will rejoice more
than the people of the South if emanci
pation proves successful. Freedom to
the slave is freedom to the master
providing you can supply a motive to
industry. The people of South Caro
lina, from their fidelity to honor, have
submitted tog reat sacrifices. They en
dured all. We are defeated and con
quered by the North, who aretoo strong
for us. The same good faith which an
imated them in the contest will not be
found wanting in their loyal pledge of
support to the government. There
may grow out of this blessings which
you have not foreseen,and some pleasing
rays now illumine the horizon. I sup
pose the oath of allegiance will be taken
with as much unanimity in South Caro
lina as anywhere else, and we will sub
mit to the condition of things which
Providence has assigned, and endeavor
to believe—
All discord, harmony not understood,
All partial evil, universal good.
We cheerfully accept the measures re
commended, and would thank you to
recommend at your convenience a Gov
ernor to carry out the wishes you have
expressed.
President Johnson asked the deputies
to submit whom they would prefer as
Provisional Governor.
To this they replied that they had a
list of five men, namely, Aiken, Mc-
Elhaney, Boyce, Colonel Manning, (late
Governor,) and B. F. Perry. All of
these were spoken of as good men, but
had been more or less involved in the
rebellion. Mr. Perry was a District
Judge in the Confederacy until a few
weeks before it collapsed, and it was
said he had always been a good Union
man, and of strict integrity. The peo
ple certainly would respect him, and he
could not fail to be acceptable.
The President said he knew Benja
min Perry very well, having served
with him in Congress. There was no
spirit of vengeance or vindictiveness on
the part of the government, whose only
desire was to restore the relations which
formerly existed. He was not now pre
pared to give them an answer as to
whom lie shall appoint ; but at the
Cabinet meeting on next Tuesday he
would repeat the substance of their in
terview, with a hope to the restoration
whiCh the gentlemen present so earn
estly desired.
The delegates seemed to be much
pleased with the proceedings, and linger
ed for some time to individually con
verse with the President.
A Noteworthy Admission
The New York Evening Post,,,one of
the most prominent papers in the coun
try, makes the following admission
* * THE REPUBLICANS HAVE
CEASED TO BE from the single fact
that they have no longer any distinctive
erred eo express, or any peculiar function
to fulfil. What they set out to do—to
fix a limit to the the extension of slavery
—they have more than done ; they not
only circumscribed but overthrew it ;
and the principle which brought them
together having been accomplished,
they have no reason for being.
Alluding to this the Rochester, (N.
Y.,) Union remarks well and truly that
the Democratic party, of all parties has
maintained its existence and its organi
zation under all trials and revolutions.
It rises from the mighty struggle through
which the country has passed during
the four years just closed, and stands
to-day upon its one million eight hun
dred thousand votes cast last Fall, with
elements of strength greater than ever
before surrounding and invigorating it.

PITS& AND FOUR YEARS OLD.
For the Communion Table, for Family (.1,7e, and
for Medical Purposes.
This is an article of Wine from the Pure Port
Grape Juice, fermented, without the addition
of spirits of any liquors whatever. Has a full
body, rich flavor, and slightly stimulating.—
None is disposed of until four years old.
The beneficial effect derived from it use is
astonishing thousands, and cannot be realized
from other wine, nor from the thousands of
Patent Bitters now crowding the market.
All who try it express their surprise that so
delicious a Wine is produced in this country,
and that it is so far different from what they
had expected.
Some who knew nothing further of the Wine
then seeing it advertised, thought at first it
was a humbug, not knowing it was pure grape
juice, save found out their mistake, and now
lay t heir lives to the use of this Wine.
Excellent for •Females and Weakly Persons
and the Consumptive.
A great Remedy for Kindeys, Affections,
Rheumatism, and Bladder Difficulties.

BLAST FURNACE AND FORGE FOR
SALE.--The Blast Furnace and Forge,
known as
"THE CAPON IRON WORKS,"
situated in Hardy county, Virginia, are offered
at private sale.
The furnace is a cold blast charcoal furnace,
with water power and about live thousand
acres of Timber Land.
The forge has three finery and one chafery
fires, and one ruu out fire; is situated on Big
Capon River, an excellent water power; would
be plenty strong enough for a Roiling Mill.
The ore is a brown hemetite ; the principal
ore bank is about two miles from the furnace;
the vein averages at least five feet thick, sup
posed to be inexhaustible; the quality of the
iron is not surpassed by any in the State, with
a great home demand for bar iron ; for boiler
plate the iron is first quality.
There is a Foundry connected with the Fur
naee; and a great demand for Cooking, Wood
and Franklin Stoves, Hollow Ware and other
Castings to supply all that section of country.
There is also a SAW MILL on the premises.
This is one of the few Iron Works that
escaped destruction in the South during the
rebellion. For facilities for making the cheap
est and best quality of charcoal Iron these
works cannot be surpassed by any In the
country. They will be sold at a barai.—
These works are sithated about thirty g mi n les
southwest from Winchester, near Wardens
vine, on the Moorileld pike.
Persons wishing to view the property can
call on George F. Hupp, (the former owner,)
living at Strasburg, Shenandoah county, or on
John C. Glenn, residing at the furnace.

THIRD SERIES $230,000,000
By authority of the Secretary of the Trees-
ury, the undersigned, the General Subscrip
tion Agent for the sale of United States Securt-
ties, offers to the public the twill series of
Treasury Notes, bearing seven and three-tenths
per cent. Interest per annnurn, known as the
These notes are issued under date of July 16,
865, and are payable three years from that date
u currency, or are convertible at the option of
the holder Into
U. S. 5-20 SIX PER CENT
GOLD LL' RING BONDS
These Bonds are now worth a handsome
premium and are exempt, as are all the Gov
ernment Bonds, from State, County, and Muni
cipal taxation, which adds from one to three per
cent, per annum to their value, according to the
rate levied upon other property. The interest
is payable semi-annually by coupons attached
to each note, which may be cut off and sold to
any bank or banker.
The interest at 7.30 per cent. amounts to
One cent per day on a 850 note.
Two cents •• " " 100 "
Ten " s• •• 500 •'
241 " " 1000 ••
81 •• •• " 5000 ••
Notes of all the denominations named will
be promptly furnlished upon receipt of sub
scriptions.
The Notes of this Third Series are precisely
similar in form and privileges to the Seven-
Thirties already sold, except that the Govern
ment reserves to itself the option of paying
interest in gold coin at 6 per cent., instead of
7 3-10ths in currency. Subscribers will deduct
the interest in currency up to July 15th, at the
time when they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third series
of the Seven-Thirties will commence on the Ist
of June, and will be made promptly and con-
tinuously after that date.
The slight change made in the conditions of
this THIRD SERIES affects only the matter
of interest. The payment in gold, if made,
will be equivalent to the currency interest of
the higher rate.
The return to specie payments, in the events
of which only will the option to pay interest in
Gord be availed of, would so reduce and equal
ize prices that purchases made with six per
cent. in gold would be fully equal to those
made with seven and three-tenths per cent
in currency. This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARA'EI
now offered by the Government, and ita su
perior advantages make it the
GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE.
Less than 8230,000,000 of the Loan authorized
y Congress are now on the market.—
This amount, at the rate which it is being ab
sorbed, will all be subscribed for withlt
sixty days, when the notes will undoubtedly
command a premium, as has uniformly been
the case on closing the subscription to other
Loans.
In order that citizens of every town and sec
tion of the country may be afforded faculties
for taking the loan, the National Banks, State
Banlas,, and Private Bankers throughout the
country have generally agreed to receive sub
scriptions at par. Subscribers will select their
own agents, in whom they have confidence, and
who only are to be responsible for the delivery
of the notes for which they receive orders.
