Indian port of Nassau was the depot of the blockade runners during our own rebellion. The same port 13 again turned to a semi-pirat ical profit. in the interest of the Cuban insurgents, who look thither for all their implies of war material from abroad: > It is about time that Nassau should be declared a genetal nuisance, and reconstructed accordingly. In the event of an 'American unpleasantness with Mr. Bull, this reconstruction will be one of the first things attended to. - CLAssuicwricos becomes a highly popular principle among railway- directors.. First introduced in Penn sylvania, then adopted by Ohio, __the New York Legislature is now entreated to lend its benefits to the Erie:road, that is to say, to Goyim, Fun and Um. These gentlemen ask for au thority to classify their directory of fifteen "by lot or otherwise," So that but one-fifth shall go out of office in any one year. New "York Journals expose the movement, and appeal to the Governor for his veto, in case the bill should reach him. The pur poses in view under their application are too palpable to need explanation. In inn. Congressional directory for the third session of the XLth Congress, Sen ator Sprague gives express direction that he should be recorded as' " - elected to the - Senate as a Democrat." In the previomi publications of the same %directory, he was set down as a .Repubifcan. He di rected the alteration of his political status to be thus announced in December,lB6B. Democratic prints which. quote his late spyches will take noticeand govern them selves accordingly. In the meantime, we congratulate them upon their new and promising recruit. . - • ' Ix ANorm7n column we publish a very respectable requisition made on GEORGE H. ANDERSON, Esq., by a large number of, ,our , ,representatifs citizens, asking hhn to . " become candidate for State Senator, subject to tha nomination of the Union Republic= party. He accepts the compliment and - announces that his name may be used in the connection. Mr. ANIMRSON has long been extensively engaged in the leather business in this city, is a gentleman of ample means, and possesses all the requirements for making an able, dignified and bonest Senator should he be chosen to the position. Graf. Tnomes A. ROWLEY, despite the earnek wishes of his many friends, posi. tively declines to enter the contest for Senatorial honors, and' autharizes us to wigldrawhis name from the list of Candi dates. There will be many to regret this decision on his part, - as the prospects for his nomination were very lisAtering, and the party could have secured no better or more able gentleinan to Succeed Col.

ThE anthracite cog-miners do not strike work. 'Discovering that such a -move ment would result in an enormous profit to the companies, which have millions of tons of coal laid up "in stock" for a more active demand and better prices, the miners promptly rescinded• their hasty resolutiont for a general turn-out. They show - wisdom, while the employers feel no little disappointment. One company alone has nearly a half a million' tone piled np at its Honesdak flocks. It. is thought others are pursuing the same policy, holding back the bulk , of their production from the principal .markets. If this production be continued, a tem porary advance of prices, in the markets which soon promise to be bare, must . eventually be followed with a still larger proportionate decline, after the companies shall reach the limit to their ability to carry the , increasing stocks. TEE President will not stiffer himself to be drawn into the support of either of the political parties in Virginia. There can be no doubt that his sympathies are cordially, with the Radical Republicanism of the State,—none the less for his equal.; ly earnest desire that a large class of citi zens, who were once leading and infinen- - tial; may again be inspired with an active interest in its advancement in Material prosperity. Gen. GRA= entertains, in common with all -enlightened people ev erywhere, a deep conviction that the wis dom evinced by the class alluded to, in their present hearty acceptance of the new opinions of the reconstructed Repub lic, must be fruitful of the best results for the more vital interests of the entire South.. But neither the President nor the Repub lican Liases of the people will regard this as the fitting moment for resigning, to a class whose probation has not been com plete, the absolute control of . Virginia af fairs. Lending the Executive influence to neither piny, but carefully observing the tactics of both, our Republican ad ministration will give a hearty moral sup. port to the fair trial of an interesting issue. TICE camas by the Philadelphia Peat, against the New York agent of the da-' sociated Press, that the latter was actuat ed by personal enmity to Mr. Yocum, of the Tribune, in framing and forwarding dispatches to the journals, IL- contradicted, apparently by authority, in the editorial columns,of the New York Titus, which also says: None but friendly personal relations ever existed between Mr. Simonton and Young iiiitil the detection and exposure by the former that Mr. Young was be traying the news of the Association to the Post;--and it was in retaliation for this that Mr. Young invented the charge that Mr. Simonton was "making public opinion"c through his dispatches, for Mr. Johnson. But for the detection of Mr. Young's treachery to the Association, the latter charge against Mr. Simonton never would Kaye beeti heard of. This is very plain language. Other expressions in the same article refer with equal directness and pointed inuendo to the, same "treachery." The Times had previously forborne any editorial refer ence to the scandal. Evidently, as the' affair now stpds, the Philadelphian edi tion of the Trt.less is indiscreetly doing more of harm than of good to its friends. The whole business seems to be bad, and we wish all parties well out of it. But the only feature of it which ought to con cern the cotemporary press is presented in the extract which we quote. This in volves directly the interests of all Jour nalkwhich rely upon that Association for their distant intelligence, since the integ- rity of its members and agents stands squarely impeached, and demands inves tigation. • In thelight of the recent trelatkins, t izi we are reminded of the Poso compli mentary tribute of last ' ant ' n, to the Republican press of Pennsylva a, when it expressly attributed to the- ew York Tribune the' l chief merit for th October victory in this CoMmonweal . We could then account, in anodic , way, for a part of the milk in that cocoa ntd. - The why and, wherefore of the rest is at last amplyexpliinid, . i - '' . • , IMMIGRATION. 'ln the quarter ending September 80th, 1868, there came into the United States to permanently locate 82,895 immigrants. Of these 49,478 were males and 88,417 females; 18,884 were under fifteen years of age, 53,184 between fifteen `and forty and 10,877 beyond forty. The nation alities represented were as follows: Great Britain and Ireland, 29,680; Germany, Austria and Prussia, 88,684; I France, Spain and Italy, 1,598;, general . Europe, 5,542; countries of Asia, 4,291; countries of Africa, 57; countries of North Amir icot2,s77; countries of South America, 40; West Indies and all ofhcr islands, 417; miscellaneous, 9. There were among them 5,864 farmers; 18,681 labor ers; 5,272 mechanics; 8,070 merchants; 1,085 miners; 480 professional callings; 2,152 servants; 831 tradesmen, not me chanici ; . 1,427 miscellaneous occupations. Withonkany occupation, 44,588. The greater proportion of these immi grants migrated to the extreme west, and wil i l enter into agricultural pursuits and swell the products of the country with their labor.

During April the produc tion steadily increased and the daily average of yield reached 11,067 barrels-- an increase of 1,276 barrels per day over the March aVerage. This increase was due more to the continual pumping of old wells,and to, the torpedoing process, than to new develOpments. The Tidloute dis trict fell off fifty barrels, and the districts along the Allegheny river,' south of Franklin, one hundred barrels Der day, as compared with the March production.- The product of all the other farms and districts in the region shoWs either no material change, or else an increase. On Cherrytree run, in the vicinity of Pithole, on Upper Cherry run, and on the farms about the lower part of Oil Creek, the product increased considerably, while_ on Church run and in the vicinity of Titus ville, on the Blood and Story farms, and in the Bull , run district, the increase was moderate. In the Pleasantville district the product was not greatly changed from that of last month, the daily 'average as obtained from the shipments by pipes and teams and the stocks, was 1,700 barrels. In this district there are lov t r no large producing wells,nut there are a great Ell . many which yield m four to thirty bar'. rels per day. There are, however, a few which produce ove the amount last named. Development has been attended during the month with mt h a i te success, some good wells being o ned. There are now three hundred and thirty-three wells going down and some seventy are about to be commenced. The demand for ter ritory at sale and (lease is very good throughout the enure region. On Sage Run, near Oil City; a fifty barrel well, yielding green oil of ilfty, degrees gravity, was struck, caused conidderable ex citement and enhanced the value of the property. The Pleasantville district is declining and much interest is manifested in the Cherry Tree Itun locality. The stock of Petrikeum increased du ring the month, and 4:ori the Ist of May the total in all hands was 805,970 barrels of forty-three gallons. This stock in cluded the amounts in iron tankage and at the wells, - and that on the hands of pipe companiesand dealers in wooden storage tanks. PROGRESS IN KENTUCKY. A recent event already has remarkable resulis in the leading Democratic State of the itepublic. A nipw doctrine startles her ninety thousand Democratic major ity, and her own leading Democratic or gan, I the Louisville Courier-Journal, is its prophet. The hereditary prejudices of race are boldly assailed, a provision peculiar to her laws from the first day that lan organized government was known in the "dark and bloody ground" is openly and vigorously impeached, anti a cardinal point in the Democratic faith 'everywhere is to be expunged from the Kentucky creed, if the most influential Democratic journal of the State, or in deed, of all the old slave-holding Estates of the South.west, can secure the refor mation to which it now stands frankly committed. This is real progress—and it will o n ly be more marked by the ultimate success which = we anticipate for the movement. Kentucky preserves in •her code of laws, the doctrine—once so popular' in some of our free States, but now effectu ally abandoned by the last of these,— which excludes black testimony from her courts ol justice in all cases, civil or criminal, where 'either of the parties may be white. She had some show' of excuse for this restriction, so long as she legalized the enslavement of the one race for the other—an excuse which never ap plied to Ohio and some of, her sister States of the west and north-west. But that institution has gone down into the dust, Under the shock of the rebellion— leaving to Kentucky no traces, except in the Democratic •proclivities of her popu lar opinion 3n the yet flagrint prejnaices of the once master-nice, and in the legal restrictions which survive the social con ditions which first gave`to them birth- The life of slavery is gone, but some of the forms thereof yet live to overshadow the mtelligencie and patriotism of her peo ple. The sub Stance is no longer there, but traces of its shape remain behind. Seat nor/dais umbra. And for what good. Why ahould Kentuckyomdre than Ohio, or Indiana, or Missouri, cling to the shattered frag ments of a system which no human pewer can ever reanimate with a living and effective shape or, strength? Why ahouid not Kentucky yield to the newer and truer doctrine, which now rules every State from het southern border . to the Mexican Gulf, everywhere else ac cepted and obeyed as the last irresistible revelation in the , gospel of humanity Must Kentucky forever bntise,and wound, and mortify herself, and belittle the dig nity of a great ~Oommonwealth which finds only the Republic to be greater:in the family of nations, by continuing, with a blind and mad persistence, ti) kick against the pricks ? Why must an enlightened people—even If at last they be wholly fzee In spite of themselvett—rtnnain beut upon LAW tiOingtheir.

That State has afforded too many accent plished and renowned lawyers, as well as forensic orators, to the American pro fession, to do herself credit by upholding for one 'needless day the mean -and - narrow restrictions upon the law of evidence—to say nothing of the tmstatesmanMke fol— ly which attempts to withstand the march of an enlightened civilization. Cur: bona? That is the question upon which the Louisville paper has spoken. The Courier-journal opens a sudden and crushing fire' upon thia exclusion of col ored testimony from their Courts,7pre senting such an array of arguments, drawn from law, from philosophy; from politics, from expediency under the pres ent situation, as well also as from human ity, always progressive, backward if not forward, in the direction of enlighten ment, or of barbarism,--that the iKen tucklan Democracy must succumb to the pressure of the truth, unless they be even more blind or more mad than thelz:bitter est opponents accuse them for. j We do not care to disparage tie mo tives .of our able coteniporary at Louis ville, by attributing its movement to that suggestion of politic expediency Which yields gracefully to necessity, under the Federal protection of civil rights equally for all men. Were that alone its motive, the Courier-Journai is, even !then, wiser than very many of the Democratic generation, in more than one State out side of Kentucky. It should have credit, even in that 'view, for a political ,saga city Which is a novelty in its: own State of late. But we would rather choose to regard that newspaper as tak- ing by chance the high ground on which it professes to stand—the ground of public morality, of reaawk and of sound law. It has under taken a great work—tie war shattered slavery, but the new birth of opinions in harmony with the last eight - years' events, is at this moment going on all over the South, and the one leading influ ential journal of Democratic Kentucky watches and waits and labors for an' hen; arable deliverance. We must admire the wisdom, as we honor the courage - which knows the line of an enlightened public duty, and dares to follow it, in the , teeth of every prejudice both of Party and of race. Success may be the work of years, or of a generation to ceme, but when it comes, it will be largely due to the efforts of the journalist who-commences this agitation. .1 The Pennsylvania Industrial League, at its session in Philadelphia last week, adopted the following resolutions : First. That' the development Of, our own resources, and the firm possession of our own markets are much more; im--- portant than foreign commerce ; That by . no other method can a durable restunp tion of specie payment be attained -than by increasing home protection. Seeond. To accomplish this we must consume home made articles. Third. Great establishments cannot prosper ; small ones cannot spring- up with a fickle and unfriendly policy.' Fourth. To promote their growth, Congress must announce, adhere to - and steadfastly act upon the policy of , defend ing its own citizens. Fifth. A protective tariff law shOnld be passed, covering all important arti cles. 'Sixth. A new department 'should be ores ted, to have in charge the tariff laws. &Tenth, . Domestic protection Is the best method by which to reduce, the price of manufactured goods. A DISPATCH, from the connecting point of the Padlle Railway tad's, says: Arrangements have been made; by which, when the last rail has been placed in position, some important personage connected with the enterprise, will drive the last *pikes which fasten the rail to the sleeper- The telegraph line will be connected with the hau3mer in such a way that each blow will open and close the circuit on the wires, 'between New York and San Prancisco. Notice will be given on the line when all is ready, and when the performance takes place, each . ..troke of the sledge' will be made mani fest In every telegfaph office on the line, between the Atlantic and racific—ewon derful and appropriate ending to a grintt undertaking. Mr. Motley's instructions, now being prepared at- the State - 'Department, , are very voluminous, and are being got up by Mr. ,Caleh Cushing. - The - State Department loOk uPerf Di: Brink's despatches from „General *lse crane as of littleimportance, and intend ed principally to secure the retention, of Mr. Rosecrans. The department has official information that President Juarez will not alienate any of his territory under any circumstances. This beini card day •at the White House, the ante-rooms were filled by ; of fiC3 seekers,,among them_ J. S. Carlisle, Russell, Jones and others, who failed of confirmation by the Senate. Carlisle and Jones are anxious to have the President take some definite action in their cases. A. member of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee declaresAhrit :the, nounced intentions of this governme nt to recognize independence of the Cubanin surgents is without foundation, and is in tipired by a desire -to influence the gold market. This Senator who enjoys the cenfidence of the President more than almost any other man, declares that the latter is much incensed;at the gratuitous use to which his name has been put . in connection with this business. Nor ishe at all satisfied with the disinterestedness of the alleged agents of the insurgents in this country. He begins to 'Brispebt them of being anxious to impose a false state mens of facts on the Government, and he commits the whole question to Secretary Fish, who is' known ,to be opposed. to any hasty:talon in•tha Prebibesi. —Jay Gould has notified the Post master General that unless the Depart'. ment4increases , the - pay 'Rot iltiq Rom *HAM to 5330,000, - he shall refuse to carry the mails.

It is. computed that a man's systeti undergoes three timesa Tear, that Is every four months, a radical and thorough change, that is, that at the end of, that time nothing remains In the system of the material of which it was composed before that. time. The eliminating' organs carry: opt tbe worn.out and need. up material. and new Matter is made to take its place ind carry on the work ings of the human ordinism. The - costof fon; Months treatment in this way would not at the outside be more than ten dollars, and frequently the functions of Iffetusie an activity and vigor I mparted sufficient to renew them by the use of one bottle, costly g only one dollar. , Ito organ of the body but *ill be beneflited by such a process. The liver; the stomach, the kidneys, the skin, the lungs, , are all. as it were, made over again by the impetus given to the stomact Mid diges tive systemold and prostrated peutile Whose systems bad begun to languish and decays have been restored by DR.

Especially is this 411611h:rue suitable at this ssason of the year, " when the dormant powers of life, lice all the rest 'of nature are emerging from the chilling add torpid state usual to the cold and wintry months. • We know Very Null that all advertised medicines are apt to be retirded as useless and nugatory, but with' DR; RYSER'S BLOOD %BEARCEIEIt we feel perfectly secure in the promise that It must do good. Country merchants and those who sup ply others with needful things for their wants cannot confer a greater service than to keep'S few bottles of tab valuable medicine on their shelves to supply their want;. Dr. Keyser will take back every half dozen that remains unsold. It at the same time affords the merckant • a . good_ profit, and to those who need it, it is of more value than silver and gold, for what can be of more value to m a n than a medicine which car. riea health and life to the suffering invalid? • We earnestly entreat all who reed this to try one bottle ofDr. Keyeer's Blood Searcher iftheir need such a medicine, and we will guarantee set. bfailltin.. In order, however ' no*:bedlicip:. pointedaetlltem buy none butth e rhich has Dr KeVseVe name over the • cork a_ blown in the bottle, nudist that way the Doct , :r will bold him: self responsible fur its results when the directions. are closely followed. . ; SOLD, AT THE DOCTOR'S GREAT NEW MEDICINE' STORE; NO. 100 LIBERTY:ST.
