' 0. F. TAILOR, Chairman,'
Ap open, avowed enemy, if be carry bimself
independently defiant, neither asking nor re
ceiving favors, compels respect'; but meaner,
and degraded beneath the contempt of every
honorable man, is that nondescript who curses
the hand which gives him daily bread. What
can equal the low villainy of the man who asks
and accepts your charity, and then shakes his
fist in your face, and calls you a " dirty dog I”
This is the case The Southern people are
chiefly dependent upon the Government for the
bread they eat. They Soak around the Com
missary Department of every military post,
-will, bookoiß ana nags, asking ana receiving
ration's to keep their ohildrsn.from famishing.
Common gratitude would seem to require them
to forbear reviling the. Government while they
partake of its bounty. But with a lack-of
propriety and an ignorance of good behavior
characteristic of the Southern people, they re
vile us while they munch onr bread.
.These beaten rebels arc sturdy beggars, ca
pable of the maximum of human treapbery,
and incapable of respecting the rights of ev
ery other individual. , J
An honorable enemy will not ask favors of
the man whom he proposes to overcome; atS
more despicable than all is he who yields to
. superior prowess, accepts the bounty of bis
conqueror, and then watches' bis opportunity
to stab him under the fifth rib.
Let ue deal with these people according to
their desects. Deal with honorable men as
such, and with barbarians as such. If a man
prove faithless by habit, deal with him as with
one who seeks opportunity to abuse your clem
ency. Taka men as you find them, deal with
them for what they are. There is no merit in
that sort of magnanimity , which affects to see
no difference in meq. 1 Some men are capable
of governing themselves, and some are not.
The rebels are chiefly of the latter class.
Any' policy looking to a restoration of the
rebel States to (heir ante-rebellion status in the
Union, in a less period than five years, will, in
all human probability, result in a damaging de
lay of u permanent reconstruction of the Un
ion. These people who curse the Government
that gives them bread; these sturdy beggars
who swarm around the Commissary Depart
ment bartering ruffianly curses for bread and
baoon; these pretenders to an aristocracy that
resembles true nobility as paste resembles tbs
diamond —are untrustworthy, to be distrusted,
and held in probation until they leam the alpha
bet of honor and self respect,. .
One 'course is both safe and just to vanquish
ed and victor; In the eyk of the law these
people are criminals. As Criminals they have
forfeited the rights of citizenship. They are
disfranchised by their own, voluntary act. It
is required of parsons of foreign birth, os a
condition precedent Co their full enfranchise
ment, that they shall make-full renunciation of
their allegiance to any other Government to
which they may have allegiance, after
a full residence of five years in this republic.
Can we be more liberal with traitors and be
just to ourselves 7 ' '
We say, No. The alienation of tbs South
wag complete before a single blow was struck.
Otherwise thore could have been no rebellion.
Is the process of war and subjugation a- proc
ess of convincing reason? No™a process of
resistless force, rather. Neither bayonets nor
cannon-balls convince the reason nor convert
the heart. These compel aubmiseion; end in
restraining the criminal, open up the way to
conversion through reflection and natural reac
tion. We must bold the. South in onstody for
inch a term of yean aa may be necessary to

THE TlOfiA COUNTY .AGITATOR,
completely revolutionize public sentiment; un
til tbe Southern people shall have emerged out
of tbe wreck and ruin of the great war, have
retusted prosperity, and regained their senses.
Bad es they- act, ungrateful as they appear,
•we cannot, ought not- to, expect• better things
of iv people debauched by education, and demor
alized by defeat in a contest into which they,
Sung all the energise of their ardent, natures.
We-must expect peevishness, and- the ill-natnre
inseparable from disappointed ambition. Nor
need we wonder at the disorder which afflicts
a region where respgot for law was never a vir,
tue or a rule..
The nest Congress will have to determine
the policy to be pursued in reconstructing the
Union. Let us hope that it will grapple with
the practical question, eschewing theories and
speculative statesmanship. The case is pecul
iar. History discloses no precedent to the clo
sest scrutiny. It is a case to baffle mejn who
work by prescribed forms and arbitrary .rules.
Diplomacy will 'not do, for there Is nobody to
be' circumvented, nobody to be cheated, except
ourselves. Only one thing can adjudicate this
case successfully,.mnd that is Common Sesse.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of last Friday
ventilates a case of robbery which occurred in
Philadelphia not long ago. One Gregory has
been convicted of murder and sentenced to be
bung. A ring of sbarpers convinced the man’s
mother that they could procure a pardon for a
certain sum of money. - The mother, by a life
of labor, bad saved a few thousand d dlars.
She gave it all to these pretended pardon bro
kers, wbo, of course, pocketed it. and left tbe
son to bie fate. They could not procure a par
don. - \
■ Upon this our cotemporufy remarks ; In
“ this maimer the Executive and Legislative
“ authorities, of ev.ety State are disgraced.—
“ Combinations of rascals ore formed, .who
“ lead the people to believe that certoio legia
" lotion can only be had by corrupting legisla
tive bodies with money."
To which we reply : Very true; but if leg
islative bodies'bod never pat themselves in, the
market would there have been any purchasers?
Such combinations and “rings” exist by vir
tue of the laws of trade.
It is common enough to bear it remarked,
that the negro cannot take care of himself.
It may be that some white folks are in the
same boat; at least we think that the following
official report of the number of rations issued
to destitute persons at Mobile is evidence of
the fact;
To white persons.
To colored persons,
That was for May. In June it was—
To white persons, 68,416
To colored persons, 8,000
We rather guess that it is the lazy, impa
<Svu*»-vvbito r«V«la will more looking a ft**
than the black freedtnen. Will aoxne of our
Copperhead cotemporaries make a note of it ?
Mr. Junius Henri Browne, (Bad! what a
name 1) whilom correspondent of the Tribune,
who testifies to th? bajharity 0/ the keepers of
the rebel prison pen at Salisbury, is oat with
s reiteration of his charges of barbarity here
tofore made Stanton. He
insists that the hitch in exchanges was owing
to Mr. Stanton's obstinacy. Fortunately this
matter can be decided by the official record;
and when Mr. Junius Henri Browns appeals
to that swift witness, hi? ignorance will gain
him a large measure of popular pity.
According to Noah Webster, and be is good
authority, a “ Democrat” is " one who ad
“ hares to a government by the people, or fa
“wore the extension of the right of'suffrage to
“ ail-classes of men.”
So the true democracy is represented by
such man as Wendell Phillips. Wm. Lloyd
Garrison, Greeley, Ward : Beecher, and others
of the Kadical stripe.
Will some of the high priests of bogus dem
ocracy move to suppress Webster’s Unabridged?
In one ward of tie city of Petersburg, Va.‘
where the colored population exceeds the pale
faces, the Government issues rations to 3000
whites, end only 50 rations to blacks. This
is another proof that the Government will
have to support the Freedmen, we suppose.
Per contra—it shows that the suppression of
the rebellion has left us with an elephant on
onr bands; but it ia the “Royal White Beast”
end not the Afrioafi, after all.
The British papers, echoed by' the Copper*
head papers in this country, now that the re
bellion is crushed, liken the Government to the
man who drew an elephant in a lottery. The
cases are not exactly parallel; inasmuch as it
is not related of the latter that the man’s
neighbors set about inciting tbs elephant to
do his owner all the damage possible.
“ Won't yon feel elated, equaled with a nig
"ger?"—inquires a copperhead poet. We
know of a few of that sort of editors wbo’d
be measurably elevated above their present
level were it possible to equal them with the
overage of colored people.
The second attempt to lay the Atlantic Tel
egraph Oajble has failed. The Great Eastern,

Thrilling' Coalßank Accident.
During tbe severe rain-storm of Friday night
last, tbs'small stream of water that runs close
to the entrance uf the Mahoning Coa) Mine, in
Hubbard township, swollen until it became a
raging torrent, overflowed its. banks and pour-,
ed a deluge of water down one of the two |
slopes by which the mine is entered, and also
in an- old abandoned entrance. - Four men
were at work in the mine at the time, John
Turrit), 'X'homas Bowen,-Jacob Miller and An
drew Miller. Tnrrill and Bowen wbreat work
in one of the rooms while the two Millers were
engaged in driving a new entry, about a bun-'
died yards distqm.. Tbe foot uf the.slope by
which tbe water entered is the lowest place in
tbe mine and consequently filled bp first, so
that when the men were apprised of the danger
the only avenue uf escape was completely cut
off.
It was near midnight when the state of af
fairs was discovered on the surface. The alarm
was given, the flow of water into tbe mine was
stopped, and the pumps were got at work. It
was found that an immense volume of water
bad already poured down tbe slope, hut from
the fact that two of the men were known to be
in the highest part of the mine, it was hoped
that they were still alive. On Saturday the
work was begi n of drilling a bole through tbe
rock, a distance of fifty-six feet, to the place
were Turrill and Bowen were supposed to be.
Great crowds of anxious people congregated
from the neighboring country. On Sunday
noun tbe shaft reached tbe interior of the mine,
but there was no signs of the men until Mon
day, when a voice called up the shaft, “ Who’s
there?" It was found tbatTorrell and Bowen
were both alive but knew nothing of their two
comrades.-' Conversation could be easily carried
on with them, and pieces of food and small
bottles of brandy were lowered through the
narrow aperture. They stated that ns soon
as they saw tbe flood coming in they endeavor
ed to join tbeir, companions, hut were unable
to do so,' the water coming up to their necks in
that part of the mine. They heard distinctly
tbe sound of the drilling on Saturday, and
mined through a column to reach tbe place
where the drill came through. Such quantities
of water came though the drill-hole that they
corkecTitrup, fearing that it woull drown them,
but on Monday, the flow of water ceasing they
made themselves known.
We visited the mine on Tuesday, but found
no material change in the state of affairs since
the day before. The two men were amply snp
plied.with food through the newly-drilled shaft,
and were cheerful and even quite gay at times.
A new shaft was being.drilled at a point under
which the Millers supposed to have bean
on Friday night. Powerful steam pumps at
both entrances to the mine were throwing out
steady streams of water, and two lines'tjf men
bailed it up by passing buckets up the slope.—
The work bad been kept up night and day
-without intefmassion. There were then some
hopes that the two missing men might be found
alive.' Hundreds of people— mss', women and
children —were on the spot. Many of them,
we were told," cam# every morning and remain
ed till late at nigbt, anxiously awaiting the
denouement of the tragedy. Work at several
of the neighboring mines bad been stopped,
and the workmen from them were on hand to
render what assistance they could.
A gentleman who left the tome Tuesday
evening, informs ns that the water was lower
ing rapidly, and that it was expected that an
entrance could be effected by Wednesday.—
Thera was no news of the two missing miners.
The drill-hole sunk on Tuesday to reach them
•truck a pillar and was therefore of no use.—

The Incomes returned for New York City
and Brooklyn, as published on Friday present
ed some interesting features and facts by a
hasty glance over the long columns. We find
that there are seventy individuals who have
incomes averaging from one to two hundred
thousand dollars; twelve, frbm two to three
hundred thousand; four, from three to four
hundred thousand; two, from four to five hun
dred thousand-; two that exceed five; and one
over six hundred thousand dollars. Upon ex
amining into the personal of the Lists we find
that Horace B. Claflin, of the firm of H. B.
Claflin & Co., of Worth St., (formerly Claflin,
Mellen & Co. Trinity Buildings, Broadway)
stands at the bead of the list, and is the fortu
nate receiver of an income of $600,600 00. Com
modore Vanderbilt stands next on the list as
receiver of $576,551 00, who finds a rival in a
brother ship owner of Moses Taylor, who “ ac

in A. A. Low, President of the Chamber of
Commerce, who has an income of $421,783 00.
Although not ns large as Mr. Claflin, still to
be insured that amount yearly, would be nearly
as good as striking oil. We find that publish

of the Ledger, $59,756 00; H. J. Raymond, of
the Times, $24,700 00; very comfortable, sala

Cooper, with all of bis charities comes ont
ahead to the tone of $75,837 00; and that the
Jew bead of the defunct Democrat party, Aug.
Belmont, the American Agents of the Roths
child*, has an income of only $100,309 00.—
Lieut. Gen. Winfield Seott has in addition to a
