We cannot but resume' oat expostulation
frith our Copperhead cotemporaries as regards
their labored and continuous efforts to prove
their sympathy with treason and, traitors. It
is a work of supererogation to denounce the
manacling of Jefferson Davis. He is a com
imon felon; rather more guilty, than less, than
the hired assassins now on trial at Washington.
Less decent than Booth,.who, though a coward,
disdained to accept life as a boon.
Jefferson Davis is a common felon. He is
entitled to the treatment of a common felon,
neither batter nor worse. True, he invented
the system of helpless prisoners of
war, of inoculating them with loathsome dis
eases in his hospitals/ and shooting them by
tens-after surrender; This- he' did according
to the amenities of that higher civilization
born of the hell-ordained system of Slavery.
He only acted as moved by the diabolic spirit
of bis education, and may,, perhaps, on that
account, challenge charity and allowance. So
may nine of every ten criminals who are cra
dled in. vice'and reared in tba alarm of great
cities, but for whom no reputable newspaper is.
wont to apologize or plead. 1 That is the case
stated, and fifty broods - of tuppenny lawyers
cannot invalidate the statement.
Wo' repeat—our rebel cotemporaries do not
need to exert themselves to prove their sympa
thy with- Davis and his crimes. That is not
questioned. Of all papers of that stripe re
ceived by us, not one has ever published a line
condemnatory of the fiendish atrocities perpe
trated upon our brave boys in Southern prisons.
The confinement of Jefferson Davie in,irons is
deplored as an insult to a brave but.fallen foo.
Brave f— brave men osnnot be cruel 1 Brave I
Jefferson Davis; like his sympathizers, lacks
every element of bravery, and will go down in
history os a poltroon ; a man who did not earn
plcto sacrifice half s million lives in .war, nor
balk at emp.oying hired assassins, incendiaries
end poisoners to gratify his insane lust for
power; yet who sneaked away from the con
sequences of his folly in the garb of a woman,
and who scolds, jailors like a fishwoman 1 If
that is in keeping with the dignity of the chief
of the party whose ditty work these journals
rejoice to do, very well.
It is not for the government to imitate the
barbarism practiced by Davis and bis associates
during the late civil war. At the same time,
a strict rendering of the law—“ With whatso
ever measure ye mete out; that shall be meas
ured to you again,"—would Justify the ironing
and starving of the reoaltitrant chief of rebel
lion. Imagine, if you can, “ the stern states
man," os northern sympathizers delighted to
name him the other day, scolding his guards
like a virago, anil finally kicking like a child
about to be taken across the knee, when sub
jected to wholesome restraint.
What a spectacle I '
Slavery, as a system, unquestionably hag
had no vitality in this country since the pro
molgation.of .the Emancipation. Proclamation,
, The. first cannon-shot burled at Port Sumter
glanced, and Struck the system of human bon
dage at; the root. It began to totter from that
moment; and on the appearance of the mem
orable Proclamation of Freedom, the God-defy
ing fabric fell, without a crash.
Yes, Slavery, as a system; is dead; bnt the
infernal spirit wbioh conceived the system and
has bereaved, nearly every family in the land
to sustain and perpetuate it, is not dead. We
shall never have peace as a .nation until that
spirit is cast oat of tho body politic into the
outer darkness from whence it came. It daily
manifests itself. It struck down Lincoln, it
stabbed Seward, it maltreats helpless colored
people on street oars and on railroads, and it
breaches but to pollute the morai atmosphere
tod poison the susceptible minded.
In so much, friends of Freedom, the work is
unfinished. The system is beyond revivifica
tion-dead ; the loathsome spirit yet curses
the land with its violence. It most be outlaw
ed*- The people most do it. They, alone, are

Gerritt Smithbasbeen addressing the people
' of' Now Y6rk in favor of pardoning -Davis and
other traitors. This savors of unexampled
‘magnanimity. Slavery has thirsted for the
heart-blood of Gerritt Smith any time for the
lest twenty-five years. So with regard to Gar
rison, Phillips, and Greeley. Yet all these ate
pleading for the pardon pf the rebel chiefs.
Without a particle of malice toward these
great criminals, and beoring little favor to the
death punishment, we still consider the con
dign punishment of Davis, Breckinridge & Co.
as necessary. If convicted of treason, let the
law .take its course. Otherwise, let. capital
punishment be abolished in formas it will have
been in fact. ,
There is a sort of handbill sheet printed at
Selinsgrove, the like of which sometimes ap
pears in this, county under the auspices of the
same party, which bolds- the following ajro
cious language touching the triumph of the re
bellion in the death of the President:
“ Before Lincoln was elected, and soon after,
the South declared that they would not submit
to Lincoln's rule.. They lived up to their prom
ise, for should they now all consent to return
to the Union, they have the consolation of
knowing that they lived up to their promise,
and that they did not return to live under the
rule of Lincoln."
Will friend Corneucs bo good, enough to
spank the big baby who writes snob indiscreet
nonsense and pat him to/bed ? ,
The demand for the Second series of the
7-30 Notes was so great that the Treasury De
partment could not keep up with it. We see
it stated that the printing presses have over
come the difficulty, and the delivery of the 3d
series was begun on the 7th instant. The loan
is being taken at the rate of two million dol
lars per day, and parties desiring to invest in
this loan should subscribe at once. It is not
probable that the Government will ever again
offer so desirable a loan to the people' If you
have $5O, or SlOO to. invest, put it into this
Loan.
V aixandioh au has written a letter to the
“ Democratic Moguls," in which he says that
there is nothing for that party to do but to snp-,
port President Johnson's administration for
the present. He thinks that' no action of d
partisan nature should be taken until the pol
icy of the Administration shall threaten popu
lar -Unerry, lu wbiuU case iho party toast rush
forward and save the country (as it has done
several times daring the last four years, we
suppose). That is coming down pretty easy,
all things considered.
Reconstruction would seem to bo the lion
in the path to national quiet. The initial step
taken by President Johnson—that of opening
the Southern ports to trade—will do nearly all
that is necessary to restore the South to sanity.
A year of oomznerotal intercourse' with the ou
ter world will replenish purses, and remove
prejudices, and convince- the Southern people
that Union is preferable to ruin.
Our readers will rejoice with os that the ne
cessity for a News column no longer ex
ists. As we write, Texes, the last stronghold
of rebellion, is wheeling into the Union.
Rumors of a new pirate on the high seas,

Teeeible Calamity—Seven Children Burn
ed to Death I— On Thursday night last. May
25, the dwelling boose of Mr. Joseph Mayberry,
In Frankford township, this county, was totally
destroyed by fire, and, horrible to relate, seven
of hie children perished in the flames. The
fire, it appears, originated in the basement of
the building at about llo’clock, when the mem
bers of the family—Mr. Mayberry, his wife
and seven children—were sound asleep. When
first discovered by Mrs. M., the entire building
was in flames. Mr. gnd Mrs. M. at once
jumped from their bed and rushed to the room
where six of the children were sleeping. Their
chamber was filled with black smoke. The eld
est daughter was the first to leave the room, and
the mother placed the baby in her keeping and
attempted to rescue the other five children. At
this moment the floors and roof, having been
burned to a crisp, fell in. Mr. and Mra M.
sprang to a window and escaped, but the chil
dren fell to the cellar with the burning build
ing, where they soon perished. Their cries
could be distinctly heard for several minutes
by their agonized parents. The names and
ages of the children were—Leah, 13 J years;
Mary, 11 years; Isabella,? years; Jeremiah,
6} years ; • Lizzie Agnes, 4 years; Joseph, 3
years, and David, 10 months. The building
was entirely consumed, and with it the chil
dren were literally burned up. Mr. and Mrs.
Mayberry were both severely burned before
they escaped from the building, but their in
juries are 'not serious.
This is the most fearful calamity that has
ever happened in our county, and its recital
causes the heart to sicken and the eye to moist
en. The feelings of the distressed parents can
neither be imagined or described. May God,
in His infinite goodness, render them the aid
they need.—- Carlisc Volunteer, Jims Ist.
Who can beat it.—Mr. Alonzo Newcomb,
of this village, informs us that he- last week
sheared a Buck, the property of Chester Hoyt,
Esq., of Osceola, Pa., with the following result.
The Buck was 2 years old, the growth of wool
10 months and 22 days, and the weight of wool
sheared 20J pounds. He was of the breed
known as the Hammond Buck and Atwood
Ewe. If there .are any who can beat this, we
should bo obliged if they would .send the notice

Mexico. —ft is clear that the fortunes of
Maximilian ora waning in Europe, The Lon-'
don papers are unanimous against him, ajad
but a mere official support is given by tfioae of
Paris. Nothing is plainer than that the Eur
opean diplomats are preparing for the return
of poor. Mus. Strange rumora on the subject
continue to be received in Mexico, and trans
mitted to this country. It was reported in
court circles that "Napoleon had been recalled
to Paris: on-account .of the critical, condition of
his Mexican affairs, and considerable excite
ment prevailed at last accounts nt the Actec
capital. It is impossible that Maximilian can'
remain in Mexico, at least "as its Emperor.
Our last advices state that the excitement with
reference to Mexican affairs is on the increase.
One effect of certain movements in the United
Stales, is an'order from the French govern
ment rescinding that formerly in operation
which prevented any American man of-war
remaining in any port of France longer than
twenty-four hours. This is significant. The
French empire, it. is currently reported. Is
about receiving, n distinguished accession in
the persons of the late .rebel General. Kirby
Smith. It is not stated whether he goes to
France via Mexico.
Caution to Fence Breakers. —We commend
the following act of the last legislature to the
attention of sundry persons who are in the
habit of laying down and breaking fences; -
“ That if any person or persons, from and
after the passage of this act, shall maliciously
and wantonly break or throw down any post
and tail, or other fence, erected for the enclos
ure of land, or shall carry away, break or des
troy any post or other material of which such
fence was built, enclosing any lot or field with
in this commonwealth, such person or persona
so offending, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and on conviction shall he sentenced td'pay a
fine not exceeding fifty dollars, one-half thereof
to be paid to the informer, on conviction of the
offender or offenders, the other half to the sup
port of the poor of such county, township, or
borough, or ward where the' offense has been
committed; with costs of prosecution, or to
undergo an imprisonment not exceeding six
months; or either, nt the discretion of the court/'
. The Grand Jury of the District of Columbia
May 26tb, fpund a bill of indictment against
Jeff. Davis and John C. Breckinridge for high
treason. Davis and Breckinridge are indicted
separately... .The overt act was the raid in June
last within the District of Columbia and the
jurisdiction of this court, killing citizens and
destroying property. Breckinridge being pres
ent personally, and Davis constructively. Dis
trict Attorney Carrington announced the fact in
court, and asked for a Bench warrant in the
case of Breckinridge, who is still at large. He
advocated that such steps be taken as will
bring Davis before the court for trial.
Thi Laegmt. —Philadelpha Methodist Con
ference, which is now in session in the Quaker
City, is the largest conference in the world, and
perhaps the moat numerous body of ministers
that anywhere congregate, of any-branch of the
Church. It embraces a territory stretching
from the Pocono Mountains oh the north, to
the ocean on the south, including the eastern
nf- Maryland and Virginia, the whole
State of Delaware, and all that part of Penn
sylvania lying between the Susquehanna and
Delaware rivers. The churches over which
the ministers now in session presides, bed
within their communion at last conference, 52,-
893. members, and we presume that there has
been, despite the war, which has greatly dis
turbed some portions of its territory, quite an
encouraging increase over the returns of last
year. ■ '
-Mansfield’s Dispensatory says that most of
the Sarsaparilla of the shops is inert and worth
less. Dr. Ayer in his writings on this drug
states that not only is it inert as found in (he
shops, but so also are most of the preparations
from it, or bearing its name. He shows, how
ever, that this fact arises from the use of worth
less varieties, or unskilful preparations by in
competent men; that the true Medicinal Sar
saparilla (Snrza Smiles off.) of the tropics,
when freshly gathered in tbs hud, is one of the
most effectual alteratives we-possess. Com
bined with other sabstanoes of > great alterative
power, like lodine, Stillingia, Dock, &0., Is
makes Ayer’s Comp. Ext. of Sarsp., which we
have reason to believe is one of the most effect

purifying the blood which has ever „yet been

COOKING STOVE.
AS it will bake, broil and roast better than any
other Stove with a saving of 26 per cent, In
tuvl, and a very largo per centago in convenience. '
They have the following advantages: \ j
Ist. They are constructed with a view of great
durability, all the plates directly exposed* to the fire
are made dopblp with air ppsaage between j this not
only makes the Stove very durable, but prevents any
danger of cracking from'the heat; this is a recent
and valuable improvement.
2d. The fines are lined with non-conducting ce
ment, thereby applying the beat directly to the oven,
and the oven can bo heated and kept in baking order
with less fuel than any other Stove.
3d. . They have a hot air draft, which not only
makes the fuel burn freely, and lost longer, but adds
to the heating and baking facilities.
4th. They consume ail the gases from the fuel,
thereby adding largely to the amount of heat ob
tained from the quantity of fuel used.
sth. The Stovo is made, mounted and finished in
the most superior manner. The oven is large and
well ventilated. The Stove is convenient in form,
and mad© for use; to adopt the language of some
who have used this Stove, “it will do more work with
less fuel than any*other Stove."

There is no better Investment than the 7-30 Loan
but all families bare to make other Investments in
the way of Family articles, and if they ean be jar
“based at-a aaving'from the regular rates. It makes a
good investment.
I claim tb-'be selling all kinds of goods that 1 deal
in, such as.roen tinned below,at as reasonable rtteiu
any .firm in the State, and a great deal lower than a
large proportion of dealers. The advantages I claim
are, a larger sale of goods In proportion to my kxpea
sea than most any honae in the country, also no losses
fay old goods or credit accounts. Ido not cart? a
very heavy stock, but intend to keep all goods Uu;
can be sold to advantage, making no leads as is oas
tomary in many houses to draw trade ; selling a Isa
goods very low and making np on others, but selling
aH goods at a very low scale of profits, and giving
small buyers as good a chance as ones. I be
lieve that one man's money is as good as another's
and should bay as many goods if the money Is terse a
backs, and will uot consent to compete on tbs
