THE STATES NOT OUT OF THE UNION, BUT
THE TRAITORS ARE.
Now that the doctrine is nowhere di
rectly controverted that secession did not .
take a single State out of the Union, we
may meet on a satisfactory and solid plat
krm, as we come to consider the question
of admitting the Senators and Representa
tires from such States. Congress may,
and in our opinion should, insist upon
such a purification of the several
Southern State Constitutions as would
free them of the poison of slavery ; but
eyen when this condition is fulfilled, no
impenitent traitor, and no leader of the re.
bellion Should be permitted to take his seat
in either House, at least not for a long period
of time. Suppose the inhuman guerilla,
310SBY, should be elected to Congress from
the Alexandria (Va) district—if Virginia
were as sacredly and as strongly a member
of the Union as Pennsylvania, we should
deny his right to a seat, and enforce
ldS exclusion. Nay, if Pennsylvania or
New York, for instance, were to elect such
a marl, it would be the duty of the majority
to refuse him admission. Last year Presi
dent Lnicotai was most desirous for the
admission of the Louisiana claimants. At
the present Congress, 'doubtless> President
JOHNSON Will expect to see. Tennessee
represented ; but it does not follow that
claimants of doubtful loyalty, or elect
ed by rebel votes, will be permitted to
take or hold their seats. Does any one
suppose that ETHERIDGE would be allowed
to enter the Capitol as a member, no.matter
how great the majority that returned hint?
'Undoubtedly not We hold the power
of Congress over this subject to be unques
tionable—established not alone in the law
and the Constitution, but by abundant
practice and precedent It is with them fo
say who shall be Senators and Representa
tives. They can decide as to the " quali
fications " of the claimants, and they
`.can exclude them for a short time, or for a
whole Congress. This, it seems to us,
clears the way of many of the difficulties
suggested in the course of the discussions
on this important subject.
THE VERSATILITY OF THE AMERI
CAN PEOPLE.
The eminently practical spirit of the
American people is admirably illustrated in
the readiness with which they address
themselves to the living duties of the hour,
no matter how much they may be com
pelled to vary their labors, nor how novel
and difficult the tasks suddenly thrust upon
them may prove. When the war of the
rebellion commenced; nearly fifty years of
peace, broken only by insignificant 'con
tests with the Indians and a short conflict
with Mexico, had apparently destroyed our
martial energies and eradicatedthe military
tastes which in VflriOUS shapes had formerly
been manifested. No vigorous and powerful
nation was ever more completelyunprepared
for war than the loyal States of the Union in
the spring of 1881. lt was practically a for
gotten and almost an unknown art. The
militia system established in the infancy of
the Republic, after outliving for a time the
shafts of ridicule, had gradually become ob
solete. The few volunteer companies main
tained were rapidly diminishing in number,
and generally contained more officers than
privates among their active members. The
New York 7th Regiment was perhaps
the only compact and complete regiment
Organization in the whole country. There
were scarcely muskets enough in good eon
dition in the North to arm the soldiers em
ployed in many of the single battle-fields of
the_late_contest_ The regular army . • •
United States containetrbut a few thousand
men in all, and they were so constantly
employed either in frontier or garrison ser
vice, that very few citizens had ever seen
,a_regiment, of regular troops in one body ;
there were not many who had ever even
seen a full company; and there were thou
sands, or perhaps Oren millions who had
never seen a single uniformed soldier of the
United States Government. Yet in a
very brief period, a nation thus oblivious
of the worship of Mars, enlisted, armed,
equipped, and disciplined the grandest army
of modern times, which, on many a victo
rious field, displayed in an eminent de
gree the highest military virtues, and
achieved a triumph that a doubting world
had declared utterly impossible.
In this transition from peace to war,
the marvellous versatility of our people
received an attestation as conclusive as
it was patriotic. Now that the tran
sition from war to peace has fairly com
menced, we glean from the record of
our past successes hope and encourage
ment, despite the numerous difficulties
and gigantic labors that devolve upon the
nation. Much has 'already been done, and
the interest which the unsolved probleras
of the future have excited among our states
men and citizens, clearly indicate that the
great current of American thought and
energy is being turned precisely into the
channels, where counsel and actiolit are most
needed. The reduction of the army and
navy followed so closely upon the heels of
the surrender of LE .F. to Gnaivr, that if tele
graphs and newspapers had not existed our
disbanded soldiers and seamen would have
been the heralds of. their mighty victories.
A great portion have already resumed their
old positions in civil life, and so thoroughly
identified themselves with peaceful indus
trial pursuits that no casual observer would
detect a trait of their campaigning ex
periences. But we are too apt to forget that
thousands are still unemployed ; that their
little reserve of back pay or bounty is
rapidly melting away, and that a debt of
gratitude is- due these veteran heroes, for
which every dispenser of public patronage
or of individual employment should hold
himself in part responsible. Sanitary Com
missions, Great Fairs, and Refreshment
Saloons did much during the war, but there
is still a great labor for Employment and
Relief Committees, and for the general pub-,
tic to perform.
The - work of reorganizatkiniifthC.South

been undertaken. Russia .finds alitiost .
impossible to pacify Poland, andlies no.
easy task in completing the, entranchise
ment of the serfs in her own dOininions.
W e are endeavorin g to simultaneously en
force immediate emancipation, to restore
civil rule over a people we have just con
quered, and: to accompany thiS with the
complete restoration of potitical privilege,
so that the Southern States shall have an
equal voice and share ;in"their own, and in
our government, as soon as they_ manifest
proper signs of contrition and of fn•
ture loyalty. It is not singular that
we should find serious obstacles to a
great end that few countries would; ever
dare to attempt, nor that delays and ;diffi
culties should attend our inauguration of
such a humane, comprehensive, and mag
nanimous policy. The abolition of slavery
is in itself one of the greatest and grandest
achievements of the human race. ' Adopt
ing it originally as a war measure, we are
bound in honor-to perfect its details in time,
of peace. A few years 'ago none
the most enthusiastic and sanguine ;';;
the old Aboltionists would have deemed''
the realization of such a • measure;
possible, but we are now' rigidly en ,
forcing it at a time when the 1 SoFth

certainly, muck has already been accom
plished, and much is being done now.
President Joni's-sox has very promptly
appointed Provisional Governors, 'and
given to the rebellious States an oppor
tunity- to display their real wishes,' feel
ings, and intentions. We regret that
in many instances a mischievous and
dangerous feeling has been manifested in
return ; but this is rather the misfortune of
wicked and misguided men who evince it,
than of the nation. They have the power
to influence their own destiny by their be
havior, but are no /Pnger able to control
ours. They can embitter their lot, post
pone the revival of industry, and ruin their
decayed fortunes by vain struggles against
freedom and 'Union, but they can never
endanger the North or seriously impair its
prosperity by their foolish disloyalty. In the
nature of things there was probably a period
or sluggish stubbomess to be passed before
a new era of earnest activity on the basis
of free labor, which will be the sure precur
sor of unprecedented prosperity in the
South, could be fairly commenced: Through
that discouraging phase of the contest we--
are apparently now passing. However
much we may regret this or any other un
pleasant feature of the national horizon, the
recollection of past triumphs, and the recog
nition of the wonderful energy and capacity
of the American people must still tinge with
a silver lining all the clouds that hover
over the Republic.
LOCOMOTIVES ON COMMON" ROADS.
If we do not look sharp, John Bull will get
ahead of ns in one dese,riptioh of travel.
In the last session of Parliament an Act was
passed, to come into operation the first of
next month, for regulating steam-locomo
tives on turnpike and other roads. This
Act is to continue in force for only two
years, being merely an experiment on loco
motives in public thoroughfares, both in
London and the country. One of its pro
visions is that three persons are to work a
locomotive, and one to precede it on foot
with a red flag, as notice of the approach of
the locomotive. This would seem difficult,
ifnot impossible, were it not that on a turn.
pike road or public highway a locomotive is
not to proceed at greater speed than four
miles an hour, and in a city, town or vil
lage,• at not more than two miles an hour.
This very absurd limitation of the progress
of the locomotive to what may , be called
snail-speed, will virtually nullify the entire
concession. In this country, over twelve
years ago, Mr. FISHER built a street loco
motive which went faster than any (Mini
bus at its average speed; and steam car
riages have run at the rate of from
twenty to thirty miles an hour on com
mon roads. In England, the — principal
constructors of such carriages have been
Goppswowrn•sr GURNEY, (inventor of the
Bude Light) Sir JAMES C. ANDERSON,
and the Earl of Caithness. The last named
gentleman has performed several journeys,
on the common turnpike road between
Aberdeen and Inverness,sa distance of over
one hundred and twenty miles, without
any accident, at an average speed of six
teen miles an hour, on a - steam - locomotive
of his own invention and construction.
The idea of limiting the speed from two
to four miles an hour is simply foolish, for
a man could ontwalk the carriage at its
swiftest rate of travel. It reminds one of
the old ante-railroad story of the 'country
newspaper which published an extra, an.
pouncing "Important news, communicated
by a foot-passenger front. New York, in ad-
Tante of the mail."
IRON SKIPS_
Three weeks ago, on the occasion of
launching an iron vessel, built at Preeton
commonly sallesl_"...Prond_Prgaton.. 2 n_a •
impor ant seaport in the northwest of Eng
land, there was the usual finale—a feast.
Everything, DOUGLAS JERROLD once said,
was wound up in England with a dinner
so much so that if London Were destroyed
by flood, flame, or earthquake, the surviving
inhabitants would mournfully assenible,
amid the ruins; the next day, and " improve
the occasion" by dining together, with the
usual quantity of toasts and speeches. It
was even so, on the occasion we refer to at .
Preston ; and among The guests whose
health was drank, was a Mr. HODGSON,
WhO Was correctly described as the first
builder of iron ships in England—a man
who has retired upon a handsome fortune,
honorably, because laboriously earned. He
stated that it was twenty-one years since
he had built the R/CHARD COBDEN, an iron
vessel, and "I believe," he said, " she has
not cost a shilling in repairs from that day
to this, and I feel sure that she will not do
so foia thousand years."
Making every allowance for some extra
vaganee in this parental boast, it cannot be
denied that the durability and strength of
iron ships is very considerable, and that
this description of vessels is coming very
much into use for mercantile purposes. If
their bottoms could only be kept clear of
barnacles, weeds, and other adhesives,
which greatly interfere with their speed,
they - would be almost perfect. Some of our
readers may be a little surprised, as we were
when we first read . the statement,. that the
adaptation of iron as the principal material
of ships, is of such a recent date as only
twenty-one years ago. It is true that ex
periments were made some years earlier,
several small iron steamers having been
constructed by Mr. W. FAIRBATIOT, of Max
cheater, between the years 1880 and 1835 ;
but Mr. HonosoN was the man who, about
1844, may be said to have actually taken to
the trade of iron ship-building. Between
that date and 1848, Mr. LAIRD, of Birken
head, of . " Alabama" notoriety, had built
one hundred first-elms iron ships. The
Persia was not launched until 1855. For
war purposes especially, nearly every ma
ritime nation in the world, now possesses
iron vessels—our own are not yet-surpassed
by those of any other power.

INIVOCILTOrs. VaTINPoWDER.
- A short time ago - we announced, almost
with incredulity, that an English inventor
had mastered the _difficult, hitherto Sttppeo_
sed - to be -impossible, secret of rendering
.gunpowder .explosive",or nOn-explosi4e at
will. Iris name -.GALE, and he has the
misfortune to be' build. - Last month, when
the Prince Of Wales -visited PlytuOtith
where Kr. GALE . resides, his curiosity was
excited, and he requested, the invention to
be proved befOre him, which was donewith
great success. On the 22il- of July, 'after
the prizes won on Wombiedon Common,
near
near London, had . been distributed among
the best shots in the National Rifle As-
E:ociation, and before the assembled crowd
had left the place, Mr. GXLE'S inven

[Correspondence of Th ai' reek j
. N4ezzvzzte, !Fein., Aug. 8, 1865.:
After a week's intereouro with those who
j,i4,lß9tpainteti with the state Of affaireln,
Telineeiee, I am sorry:tti c alti that i have to
modify the encouraging view which I preSelif•
ed to you in my letter from Knoxville. Among
the ruany`difficulties which are in the way of
a satisfactory progress, I mention but two.
First, the clergy of the South, with few excep
tions, are determined to keep the minds of the
Southern people inflamed against the North,
and of counteracting every effort at a peaceful
arrangement. A minister sent here by the 0.
S. General Assembly to visit' the churches, was
not admitted to their pulpits; the Methodists
have held a meeting to reorganize the South
ern Church, and to egelude from it every Unien
man; the Rev. Converse, of Richmond, is send
ing his papers into this region, and they are
hailed with joy, and their poison is scattered
far and wide; lesser lights in more limited
spheres, are pursuing a sindlar course ' or, as
teachers of academies, are distilling their poi
son into the minds and the hearts of the
young. All these evils combine in making me
despair of seeing a feeling of harmony esta
blished in this State at an early date. The
second point of complaint is, that the freed-
Milli is badly treated. Ms in vain to talk
about the suffrage of the negro, when a negrcOe
oath is not taken, however fearful the injury
may be which a white man has indicted upon
him. I was made acquainted with a ca.se,of
this kind near Knoxville, but could do nothffig
In betialieof the injured party. They are, in
most parte of the South, at the mercy of the
whites, rind cruel mercies they are. In Knox.
ville, a respectable and pious man of color,
who owns property there, and whom I have
known for many years, told me that the co- .
lored people who have been in the employ..
went of the army, anti who arenow dischUrged.
cannot go into the country, because they
would be murdered there. I have no doubt
that this is the case in many other parts of the
State, and that many Degrees who are taken
up as vagrants did not work because they had
no chance to work. Those here who know best
the spirit in which a large portion of the pea
pie of Tennesee are determined to act, and
who also know the spirit of the Government,
are well persuaded that the time is far distant
when the military can be withdrawn from this
State, and when these bitter enemies of the
Union will be brought to a sense of duty. To
judge from the harmony existing between
Governor Brownlow and General Thomas, I
doubt not that in the end it will be done most
efficiently. X.
Public Amusements.
At the Academy of Music, this evening—and
to be repeated on Wednesday and on Satur
day afternoon—a new performance will be
presented, called " The _ Festival of Peace."
It will consist of a variety of tableaux,
arranged under the direction of Mr. S. C.
Dubois (who formerly belonged to the
Walnut-street Theatre,) and will represent
Union, Disunion and War, the Camp, the Night
Before the Battle. the Alarm, the Battle, the
Night After, the Soldier's Return; the Soldier's
'Jubilee, and Peace, the finale. Thirty-six
young ladies, each representing a State, and
:two regiments of volunteers, in full uuiform,
will appear, as circumstances may demand, in
the tableaux. Theodore Herrman, Unitary
Band will perform, and Dr. Cunnington, than
Whom a. more suitable director cannot be
found, will have charge of the musical depart
ment. The prices 'have, purposely, been put
low (Me. and 25e.,) and there will not be any
charge for reserved seats. This Festival of
Peace," at once novel, picturesque, and pa
triotic, promises to be decidedly and largely
successful.
CHESTNUT-STREET THEATRE.—We have ar
rived at the last week of Boueicault's new
Irish play, " Arrah Ne. Poguer which, with a
grandeur of language utterly unapproachable
by any mere critic, is stated (by the manage
ment) to be "the great Mastodon of draliWtic
sensation." if geological terms are obe
adopted 'in theatrical announcements, we
take leave to suggest that Ichthyosaurus,
Ornithorhynchue, and Plesiosaurus, are ses
quipedelian jawbreakers which would IOOk
startling on a playbill. Notwithstanding its.
magniloquence, the management has done it
self credit, and the public pleasure, by the
admirable manner in which " Arrah Na Pogue
is equipped in scenery, machinery, and cos
tume. The scenery is especially good, and
the mechanical contrivance by which Shaun
appears to climb up the ivy -clothed walls of a ,
castle, which really sink below the stage, has
been uniformly successful. Mr. Lewis Baker,
who performs the part of Shaun, the lover of
the heroine, sustains the character very well.—
there are few more Judicious actors on 'the
stage—but is a little too stout, and commits
the error of pronouncing his words as they

man, one who, in rough manner and •voice,
might pass for Captain Freney, if that Irish
Dick Turpin is ever put upon'the stage. Mr.
Tilton, who plays The O'Grady, (by the way,
Mr. Boueicault had no right to remove the
Limerick O'Grady into the mountains and
valleys of Wicklow,) had another great chance,
of which Mr. Brougham, who has the part in'
London, makes the most. The O'Grady, who
ought to be as fine an Irish gentleman as Major
O'Flaherty in Cumberland's " West Indian,"
and who is supposed to be a colonel in the
army, is represented by Mr. Tilton with the
manners of a rough recruiting sergeant, and
as for his Irish brogue, it is unlike anything, in
the way of speech, ever heard in the Island of
Saints. The play, which is sensational and at
tractive, will be played this week only, and
there will be a matinee on Saturday.
FOX'S .A.menleAN VARIETY THEATRe.—After a
very remunerative run of a fortnight, Mr.
James Pilgrim's "new romantic. drama," en
titled " Croghan Kinshela," is withdrawn, to
'be replaced by some attractive novelties. As
we have previously stated, there is nothing
new in Mr. Pilgrim's play, (la which, by the
Way, We author is by far the best actor,) which
was first played in XeW York, about twelve
years ago, and can be read in " Spencer's Bos
ton Theatre," of which it is the seventy-se
venth number. Here, it has been very much
cut down, so as to present only the ghost of a
plot; and the reason why its original name of
Farcieen Wilson" has been altered, not for
the better, into " Croghan Kinshela," is a mys
terious secret - Which no one may ever hope .to
discover. We may add, in conelusion,fthat
this play was very well put on the stage, 'with
good dresses, and some beautiful scenery, and
that the ;theatre, which has one of the largest
Stages in America, is now fitted up with much
good taste. The management, so far, has been
highly respectable. The attractions for- this
week will be the appearance of a brace of fe
male dames, (Galetti and Whiting,)-a couple
of gymnasts, and a very clever tight-rope per
former. A sensational play, called "The Cigar
Girl of Cuba," some singing, a ballet entitled
"La Normandie," and "Lea Miserable," a
farce, complete the pregramme. '

(Special Correspondence of Tab Press.]
Cinenuckmi, August 11., 1885.
The ride frOm Pittsburg to Cincinnati, either
by railroad or boat, is one, of the most inte
resting character. Tile distanee is mbre than
- four hundred miles, and is accomplished by
steam in some seventeen hours. iihe cars
start from the depot of the Pennsylvakda Cen
tral Railroad, cross the Allegheny, lad pass
through Allegheny City.' thence to tettbeir
ville, thence to Columbus, and, by w}y of the
Little Miami, Columbus, and Xenia Railroad,
approach Cincinnati. The scenery along the
greater portion of this route is exctedingiy
beautiful. The track of the road fro Pitts
burg to Steubenville forms almost a perfect'
horse-shoe, and follows the course of tile Ohio
River for a considerable distance. The moun
tains contain vast quantities of itumin
ous coal and fine timber. On the opposite
side of the river we noticed many hand
some farm-houses, with their grout in the
highest state of cultivation. Tor *eve al intim
east of Pittsburg, and, indeed, almos all the
way to Steubenville, at short inter als, are
foundries, factories, and furnaces in f 11 blast.
The little streams percolating thro gli the
rocks and hills, and finding their w y to the
Ohio, have an oily look, and where t e water
is suffered to become stagnant the 01 aginulla
indications on the surface must be p uliarly
gratifying to-the owners of "profiert There
are many ravines and narrow gulches etvreen
the hills. We had not long left ,Pitt urg be
fore we observed that the petroleum fever
had seized the Inhabitants of this , aeetloll.
Derricks, tanks, and engine-hour s were
not only erected and operated 14 Wean..
ties where oil might be supposed to exist, but,
to our inexperienced ete, on spots w iere the
impenetrable rock and solid earth colld only
be found. The spirit of exploration, kOWeVer,
and the desire to suddenly grow ric li on the
part of those who were content, beforethe oil
excitement broke out, to spend thpir lives
peacefully and quietly in their rustic homes,
induced them in numerous instances 'to ex
pend the bulk of their means in exppriment
ing and sinking Wells,Dfany abandoned der
ricks meet the eye of the traveller, and elo
quently tell the tale of disappointment, and
the failure of the operator to strike the vein
which has enriched so many thousands of our
citizens during the last few years, but which
has at the same time reduced to beggary other
thousands, of whom we seldom hear.
At Wellsville we ascertained that oil had
been discovered in the neighborhood in
several places, but as yet it has not been found
in considerable quantities. The Steubenville
Railroad Company have graded and are rapid
ly completing a line which will connect that
place with Pittsburg and the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad by means of a much shorter
route, and consequently much straighter road
than that which 19 now in use. To secure this
connection a tunnel has been out through
Pittsburg, which passes immediately under
one of the German churches there. At Steu
benville, the Ohio will be crossed at an im
mense elevation. At this point the river is
quite wide. genie seven spans are neces
sary. The bridge is constructed of iron
one we believe, an entirely original
plan. Should the work prove success ,
ful, as it undoubtedly will, the plan of
this bridge will become very popular. Co
lumbus, the State Capital of Ohio, lies to the
right of the railroad. It is a beautiful city,
and its State institutions, asylums, peniten
tiary, and public buildings, are worthy of the
Buckeye State. It Is the residence of Gover
nor Brough, who is at presents dangerously
ill. Leaving Pittsburg at two o'clock and
forty-five minutes in the afternoon, and mak
ing regular connections, the traveller arrives
at Cincinnati at eight o'clock the next morn
ing. The farther west you go the more you
are impressed with the greatness of the
country, the enterprise of its citizens, and
the vastness of our resources ; and •in no
thing is our enterprise and our wealth
more strikingly exhibited than in the
multiplicity of our railroads. A complete net
work of them seems to surround Cincinnati
They nearly all connect with trains on the
Little Miami, Columbus, and Xenia route, and
a scene of almost inextricable confusion at
tends the arrival of a train. Cincinnati itself
is in many respects located like Pittsburg,
inasmuch as it is surrounded on two sides by
the Ohio river, and on all sides by lofty hills.
The town itself, however, that part of it which
fronts south on the Ohio, and immediately op
posite to which is Covington Kentucky, is
bkilltein. a high, bluff. The first four or five
blOtke3froire the river, in each direction, 'are

and kept scrupnlonsly_cleam. -Pike's Opera
Route is the finest place of amusement in the
*city, and is pronounced one of the best music
halls in the United States. The Burnett and
Galt Honseaare the principal betide. Busihess
is brisk. The Southern trade has reopened to
some extent. The credit system will, we pre
sume, not be readily adopted, as leading mer
chants all through the North were so heavily
defrauded after the war broke out. There
are. eases where Southern men have already
exhibited that honor and integrity for
which they were at one time celebrated, and
where they have embraced the first, opportu
nity to liquidate their Just and lawful debts.
We have conversed with some leading num
chants who have large bills outstanding in the
South, who have never lost confidence in their
Southern customers, and who retain the hope
that they will yet receive their due. The pork
houses, at this season of the year, of course,
are doing little or nothing except - to prepare
for their operations, which commence about
the first of November. A large number of
steamboats line the wharf, and run down and
up the river to the principal citida. A
regular line plies between here and Pitts
burg. The ride is said to -be charming.
The Northern portion of Cincinnati has
many foundries, rolling-mills, breweries, and
other steam-mills. The bituminous coal is
used in these works, and, consequently, to
some extent; portions of the townare as dingy
as Pittsburg. There area great many spacious
private residences and beautiful gardens in
Cincinnati. They have some public parks in
the centre of the city which are highly deco
rated. The Cathedrals are handsomely and
elaborately finished. A very large Jewish
Synagogue is now in process of COnstruction
which bide fair to be one of the most costly in ,
this country. The Episcopalians, Presbyte
rians, and Methodists, seem to vie with each
other in the ornamentation of their places of
worship ; and whatever ideas some of these
sects may have originally entertained in re
gard to the necessity fOr avoiding display,
scent to have disappeared. The Atlantic and
Great Western Railroad has a magnificent
depot here, and the Masonic Temple is justly
celebrated. While Cincinnati itself, however,
has every element to render it a delightful
place to live in, the ambition of the wealthy
is to occupy the magnificent building sites

We were surprised in our travels to Sad so few
officers or soldiers. Cincinnati is almost en
tirely rid 0f them. The war seems to have
passed-almost into obscurity. Operations in
all the channels of business are carried on
very extensively. There is no searcitv of
labor.- - The - German element largely prevails
in this neighborhobd. -Vineyards abound in .
' every *direction, and saloons, brewe
ries, and distilleries are common. With all
then remindersor their Paderiand r and sur
rounded by peace and plenty, and Beene'
ry that 'compares favorably with any in
the world, the adopted German must !feel
almost as well contented and as thoroughly
domesticated as though he were in reality
" over the Rhine." Much attention has for
many years: been paid to the cultivation of
the grape, and the - wines of Cincinnati are
well known - and properly appreciated. The
crop this season will not be an average one.
The mildew and rot have very seriously affect
ed the vines. Bunches that were well filled in
beginning of the Minima are ItOW almost en
tirely bare. A peculiar kind of blight has,
also killed many of the pear trees. The peach
es, however, are abundant and of a very supe
rior quality. The markets of Cincinnati are
first rate. Vegetables and the principal fruits
are cultivated and produced in great profu
sion in this immediate neighborhood, but the
city is behind its sisters in- the erection of
market-houses, and still adheres to the old
fashioned buildings, and to the Street stands.
The population is estimated at two Mildred
thousand, and with. the revival of business it
promises 80011 to be increased to a quarter of
a million. R. P. B. G.

and turmoil of the dusty city, to the green
shades and cool sea breezes, with baggage
checked through, and all Comfortably seated
Christ Church steeple, the shottower,and all
the host of Philadelphia's heavenly indexes
are soon lost sight of, and presently Haddon
field, with its shady Streets and pretty Cot
tages, passes like a panorama before us. The
old mill-dam at Waterford, White Horse
Station, and Long-a-coming, soon file in
with the things of the past, and we reach
Jackson Station. Here we switch off on
the Raritan and Delaware Bay Road, for
a trip through. the low pines and huckle
berry bushes. What rapid improvements
have been made during the past few years
in this section of the country! The pine
trees are being -removed, the brush burned,
villages and towns are springing up, and the
old towns have been infused With new life and
vigor.
ATSION AND SHANONO
Atsion, or the City in the Sand, is the first
stopping place. The village lies to the west
of the road, and is very nearly hidden by the
intervening foliage. Shamong,- with its large
frame hotel in the foregroUnd, and numerous
white cottages dotting the landscape, next
passei before our vision. Woodniancy,. a
small station for the accommodation of
pleasure;Beekers who take stages for dif
ferent crabbing and fishing grounds. along
the coast. Bergen, or Bricksburg;pleasantly
situated, and boasting of a large hotel and
iron-works, soon passes 'before us. A church
and several other new buildings are in course
of erection. The mill-race, spanned by neat
bridges, surrounded -by plain white railings,
adds beauty to the scene.
We leave Bergen, and are once again among
the pines and huckleberries., Several brick
yards and saw-mills, charcoal huts and log
cabins, fill the intervening space to the next
station. As we near it, however, large tracts
of land laid out for the culture of cranberries
demand a passing attention, These are now
successfully cultivated through the north
ern part of New Jersey, and handsome
profits have been realized. Manchester,
with its beautiful White painted cottages,
with green shutters, its large brick round
house, and the railroad station, is soon. reached.
liere we take in wood and water. This place
is perfectly temperate, although it is the
largest city or town on the route. One of the

Bedford are soon left Wind us i down brakes

Uncle Isaac is waiting for us, and, afters short
ride, we reach the home circle.. We have just
arrived in time.
'A THUNDER STORM.
The ripe fruit drops amid the waving corn,
and the "wild waves are murmuring theft , '
nevepending lullaby. The rumbling thunder,
and the black clouds overhead indicate the
near approach of the storm. It comes, at last,
in all its fury. The forked lightning quivers
along the surface of the dark canopy above us;
the old house trembles, and the cherry trees
in front Of me bow their heads in subjection - to
its sway. The rain pours down pitilessly upcin
the cattle in the meadow, and we feel thankful
that we are in a place of shelter. After ruling
supremely for an hour it gives way to the gen
tler influence of noon-day sun, which bdrsts
upon us suddenly in all his glory, and kisses
off the tears which the weeping heavens have
so lavishly bestciwed upon the dry and dusty
earth. The whole garb of nature presents a
fresher and more beautiful appearance.
The ground is covered with golden fruit,
which is speedily gathered into baskets and
placed in close prostmity to tfa3 cider mill,
which grinds it to a proper consistency for
the more crushing task of the cider press.
The clear amber-colored liquor forces itself
between the staves, and is caught in vessels
ready to receive it. Wetake delicious draughts
of the juice as it flows irom•the press, and are
81111)11$4.d at the vast difference between it
and the spurious article called by the same
name that - Jidda tits way to Philadelphia.
While we have beml thus indulging, Dick and
Tom have been geared up, and old Uncle John
is ready and waiting for us to take a small
drive through the country. We are soon
alongside—Dick is touched up with the whip,
and away we go, at a good pace, for the sea
shore.
We pass the. old blacksmith shop, the great
lounging place of the village. Here we have
the whole county represented for miles
around. There 'is old Farmer 13ennett, the
most wealthy man in the neighborhood,
dressed in white pants made of common &tick.
and blue flannel shirt, rather the worse for
wear. His feet are: encased in large heavy '
boots, that proclaim certain death to
sects in: the .vieinity. An old wide-brimmed
.straw hat completes the picture. There 'is

beaten, and greatly needs it coat of paint and
lime. Oh I the horrors of a country. schooL
room, with its straight-backed benches,. pine
desks, old wood stove, and the master't three
legged stool. Ah, well do I remember my
early experienee in the busineSa, It WaCt
cold winter day, and the snow covered the
ground to the depth of eight or ten inches. It
was a three-miles walk from the railroad sta
tion to the school-house. When I reached the
blinding the room was filled with smoke. A
eoiaple of small boys were puffing away and
endeavoring to fan into flame the clamp wood
in the huge old-fashioned stove. They suc
ceeded at last in their endeavors, and soon a
kindly warmth waS'pervading the place. In
one corner of the room was piled up about a
Quarter of & cord of wood, and in another was
an old pine bench, upon which stood li water
bucket and several, large tin cups. Immedi•
ately in the centre was a large desk made of
pine, entirely destitute of paint, and rather
dirty. I unconsciously lifted the ponderous
lid, and upon raising it was surprised to find
the following ominous goalie°, writtea in a
clear, bold hand: "O Lord', we thank thee that
thou bast delivered us out of the land of Egypt,
and out of the house of bondage." But a truce
to these memories of the past; we are nearing
home once more.
The little ones have removed their play
things to the barn; the large door has *Peen
thrown open, and the merry laughing group
clamber up into the haymow, and play hide

house-dog, has been caught napping, and is
Completely covered with hay, from which he
is vainly trying to extricate himself. The
old hen with her brood has taken up quarters
in an empty feed-box in the corner,

somewhat annoyed by the intrusion of the

little offspring, have appropriated several

A PREDICT/ON VEIII.BIHD.-411 1860 when Jeff
Davis was threatening destruction to the
North as the result of secession, he, one day,
in an animated conversation with Gen. Simon
Cameron, exclaimed: "When the South se.
cedes, such paralysis Will fall upon Northern
enterprise that the grass. willgrow in the
streets of your Northern cities !" The retort
was instant; the General replied: " Mr, Davis,
if the Southern States secede, utter ruin will
fall on your seetion. Your slaves. will- be libe
rated, and will assist in your destruction. The
North will not be ruined, but I will, with my
own hands, plant corn in the streets of Charles
ton, the cradle of treason?' True to his pro
mise, in the spring of this year, when General
Cameron visited the South, he did plant the
corn, hired a soldier to attend to it, and has
just received the crop with the following note
from Major General Hatch, commanding our
forces in Charleston:
CHARLESTON, S. C. July 21, 1865.
Host. SIMON exusnon—Dear air: i ship to
day, by Adams Express, four ears of corn, the
product of the grain planted by yourself, in
the early part of April.
It ispoor corn at the best, probably owing to
the soft. It received every care from the gar
dener at the hospital, whose name is given
below. You' respectfully,
four obedient servant,
JOHN P. HATOg i Brevet Major General.
DAVID Fru Olsson, gardener, Orphans , Asy
lum, Charleston, S. C. •
We have been presented by the General with
an ear of the corn; which we will be glad to ex
hibit to our visiters.-,Harrisburg Telegraph.

FINANCIAL AND COMNIERCIAL.-
• The tendency of the gold market is evidently
towards lower quotations: The customs de
mand is, however, still very large, averaging,
last week, about $400,000 per day. While there
continues a - prospect that gold will still be
wanted in such quantities to pay duties for
some time yet, the "bulls , ' of the market will
have in this the assistance of a practical argu
ment for higher rates. Against these con
siderations, however, are the sales of gold Out
of the Treasury - Department, which, in amount,
almost balance the customs demand. It is
estimated that these sales will average $300,000
per day to the 15th of August. The policy of
selling gold on the part of the Secretary of the
Treasury is much disputed, Its only excuse is
its effect in keeping down the premium. The
disathrantages of the system are that it iB ne
cessarily attended with secrecy, and, any fall
ure in that respect redounds only, to the good
Of those who may hear of the operation, while
it disturbs materially the calculations of im
porters and others, who, to know the value of
gold, should know the amount of it that is for
sale on the market.
The stock market was very dull on Saturday,
there being but one board. The few sales that

1865.—Dear Sir: Your letter of the Bth , inst.
is received, The amendment to sectionli: of
the Currency act, passed March 5, More-
Tided that n 150,000,000 of the amount of circu
lation contemplated by said act, should be
apportioned to the different States, according
to representative population, and $150,000,000
according, to existing banking capital', re;
sources , an d business of the several States. ,
The amount allotted tolfewTork upon rt!fre!*
sentative population was *13,536,500; to Penn
.sylvania, 813,882,500 ; Ohio, * 11,173,500 . Upon ex.
Wing banking capital, resources, business,
Ac. ,• to Now York, 851,936,000; Pennsylvania,
$12,645,000 ; Ohio, $6,450,000; giving an aggregate,
under the apportionment, to New 17ork of
$53,473,000 ; to Pennsylvania of e 26,537,500, and
to Ohio, $17,82t1,090.
On the same day in which this amendment
was passed another amendment was added,
;providing that State banks having a capital
not less than *75,000 should have the right of
conversion to the national system over new
organizations, until July Ist, 11165. According
ly, State banks were allowed to accept thepro
visions of the national currency act up to that
date. The result has been to give to 110 w tork
$75,073,653, Pennsylvania $40,866,996, and Ohio
$18,487,500, which is an excess in New York Of
n 19,600,152,111 Pennsylvania of $13,839,196, and in
Ohio of $864,000. These figures are made from
our books, as they stood on the Ist inst. You
will observe that Pennsylvania, having ex
ceeded her apportionment by over thirteen
milliona, is not equitably entitled to any addi
tional sum; and as the entire amount of na
tional currency provided for in the law will he
absorbed by banks already organized, or which
have received authority to organize it is now
impossible to consider now applications.
Trusting this statement will be a satisfactory
answer to your inquiries, I am,
very respectfully, H. R. Mumma%
Deputy Controller.

Those banks are termed " held " which have
been chartered, but from which the currency
is held in consequence of failure to meet all
conditions requisite to the issue.
The coal miners of south Pittsburg and vi_
daily are again on a strike. It is alleged that
when they last went to work, it was with the
understanding that they should dig for four
cents per bushel only on condition that their
employers should sell the coal at eight cents.
The latter, It appears, have not acted in good
faith in not reducing the prices from the pre
vious figure. This action on the part of the
minors, says the Ohrontete, was not antici
pated, and several large manufacturing es
tablishments south of the Monongahela River
were compelled to close, owing to the scarcity
of coal. Steps have already been taken to set
tle the matter satisfactorily, The coal men
havelmen reaping a golden harvest during the
past two years, and every strike previous to
WS has been an additional excuse to raise the
price of mined coal, not in n corresponding
degree with the advance paid the miner, but
from one to two hundred per cent. profit.
