At last we have a word frpm the World on
the President's speech to tbq negro soldiers.—
The News snid yesterday, sulkily, that if the
President meant what ho said he is' no better
than a-“radical.” The World takes the hint,
and this morning tries, in a.lpng article, to per
suade itself and its readers rthat Mr. Johnson
really did not mean what jm said—that be was
only “ talking bunkum” kpfche poor blocks, all
the time Sticking his tongtrt. .in his cheeks and
winking at the whites. l: >
The World said of Mr. Johnson last October:
“It is ridiculous to suppose that he ever had
any political 'principles: he was nominated
because be had none, both - cloud bellow his
“bastard “loyalty,, loudly.” It seems Kill td
think this of him.-But.it is,greatly mistaken—
Mr. Johnson is what ho hsS -frequently-called
himself, a plainspokcn man\ who means what
he eaye ; and he needs no '-JWorJd or News to
interpret for him. . {

not too well read in the Bible- who being asked
what made Balaam’s ass . speak, replied at a

■Washington, 1).'0',, Oot. 28, 1860.
To Jakbs Jonbnson, Proft&piud Governor, Mil-
UdgaoiUe, On.:
Your dispatob has beenf Jt ceived. The peo
ple of Georgia should not lesitate one single
moment in repudiating efk'y single dollar of
debt created for the purpose of aiding the Re
bellion against the Government of the. United
Statu. It will not do U> l,S"y and collect taxes
from a State and people that, are loyal and in
the Union, to pay a debt that was created to
drag them out and insuby fting the Constitu
tion of the United States.
Ido not believe the grej'i mass of the people
of tbe State of Georgia wren left uninfluenced
will ever submit to -the 'pigment of a debt
which was the main cause-of bringing on their
past and present suflerini-:, the result of the
Rebellion. , r ‘
These who invested their capital in ihe crea
tion of this debt must mart their fate and take
it as one.of the inevitable results of the Re
bellion, though it may seen hard to them.
It ahould at once be tnsjde known at home
•tjd abroad that no debr contracted for 'the
purpose of dissolving the Union can, or 4ver
will be paid by taxes levied on the people for
such purpose. Andeew Johnson,

EIGHT HOURS OP LABOR
What, constitutes a day’s work ? Not time,
inr Sis ordinary division into hours, for that
would put the employer at (ho mercy of the
dishonest and idle.
Probably every craftsman and mechanic has
some role governing in this matter. Each ie
the 'judge of what average amount of work
constitutes a “ day's work” in bis vocation.
That standard should be established with
reference to the amount tho employer would be
willing to perform as a day laborer. ’
For instance, we know wbat constitutes a
day’s work ip a printing office; the shoemaker
knows what constitutes a day’s work in his bu
siness ; and so on.
Let us look at the matter candidly; There
is required to be done, every day, a certain
amount of work, or the common interest of
mankind - suffers.. Unfortunately, some do no
thing ; -and this odds so much to the burdens
of the working ■ class. Surely, if the World’s
work wefe equally apportioned among men and
women, nope would work so hard, or so many
hours as the few do now.
But all will mot work ; eo the industrious
are overtasked. Probably labor cannot be ap
portioned, so as to be shared equally; by acts
of. Assembly. Inequality of this sort must be
endured, then, until public opinion shall make,
idleness a crime worthy of outlawry. 1 ‘ Bat in
order to so form public opinion, every worker
must testify by his life that Labor ennobles
him, or her. ■ -
iLet us see: How much work is good for a
man, or woman? ..."
We reply according to our best light; That
in a well-ordered community should be
three grand divisions of the day of twenty-four
hours, viz : Eight hours for labor, eight boors
for study and recreation, and eight hours for
sleep.
Under present circumstances, however, none
but persons in independent condition of life
can so order their affairs. Even prosperous
farmers and mechanics do not, so divide the
day. The desire to grow rich lends'them in
follow the o!d_ fashion of working from daylight
in to daylight out, the round year. . This is not
right. It is not an economic use of time. It
is not the way to exhibit even common grati
rude for “Heaven's blessings kindly'lent.”
But the bulk of workers have no option. It
is in behalf of these that we mast speak.
. They are organizing Eight Hdlit Associa
tions in all the cities and populous towns. Un
like some, we look upon the Movement as be
ing an effort to obey a higher law of onr com
mon nature, which persistently demands
equal and regular periods of labor’and rest.
Human instinct is truer than educated will.
Labor looks for its redemption through equali
zation, and a system of division which shall
afford as much opportunity for tbe growth of
the soul as of the body. Then it Is a noble in
stinct that led to tbe inauguration of
Hour Movement
j But is tbe Movement practicable enough to
afford probable hope of success T ; Incur opin
ion, to. As we said above, while half the
world remains idle ( tbe other half must over
work or the business of tbe world would softer
serious damage. So much work is to be done.
So many idle consumers require just so much
extra work from tbe indnstrione. >Let a single
illustration make oar meaning plain :
A family of six sons own a farm of 200 acres.
Fifteen acres of corn, twenty acres of wheat,
and other crops in proportion, with stock, say,
yield these six men a living income; and all
working together, can plant, attend and seenre
the crops and increase with an average of ten
hours labor per day. But at last two of the
brothers take-to loafing, and a life of genteel
laziness. The same crops most be planted and
secured, and the work of six most be done by
-four.' All will- see that the four mast rise ear
lier, and work later, to accomplish the work to
be done..
“So we are working to support those who
won’t work for themselves I”—says one. Yes,
precisely so. There is just so much work to
be done, and while the few work and the many
play, the few will be overworked. It is a good
plan to look at-the reason of things.
How can this eviTbe remedied? Possibly
by the eigbt-heur plan, bat we guess not. It
etrikee as that tbe.reform most begin in every
home. Uakk Idleness Diseepdtable. See
to it that yon bring your children np in habits
of industry. Teach them that -.work of some
sort can no more he dispensed with than fresh
air or pure water.-' -
No man will hail the reduction of the honra
of labor with more gratitude than’ shall we.
Rut it seems to us that the noisiest advocates
>f the Movement, only stir the surface of the
pool. Better face the facts.
It is safe to say that while the Movement
finds its noisy advocates among a class of rov
ing mechanics, or jack-at-all-Trades, it oannot
permanently benefit the workingman.
THE TIOWA COUNTY AGITATOR.
Several of our “ Democratic" ootetnporariea I

accrue to their faction irom the quiet, undem
onstrative way in which the Republicans enjoy
their lute great victory in this State. Wore
they capable of .getting wisdom by observation
and experience, they would know that this qui
et reception of a great blessing bodes evil to
Copperheadism. Conscious strength is ealm ;

NOV. 8, 1855-
Secretary McCulloch, in his late Speech out
West; expressed an opinion that the present
high prices were unnatural, and unless modi
fied soon, would, not long hence, result in wide
spread and disastrous bankruptcy. He propo
ses to reduce the volume of the currency to the
specie basis os. soon as it can be dune with
safety, by withdrawing inaonyertibje currency
from circulation. The steady reduction of the
public expenditures, mow going onj will make
the Secretary’s plan practicable, gradually.
Tbs Public Debt is being reduced at tbe rate
of One Hundred and Thirty-Five Million Dol
lars a year, since tbe end of the-war. This is
encouraging, and speaks volumes of praise for
tbs Administration. History affords no prior
instance of a nation emerging from a great
war and at once so considerably reducing tbe
indebtedness incurred.

Elliott this week, and hereby notify tbe dis
putants that the controversy most close, as far

* - A Novel Proposition.
A Tioga County' wbfo has ex
perienced all the vicissitudes of this great war,
save death—sends os a communication con
taining a novel proposition. Owing ito the
crowded-state of our columns we are reluctant
ly forced to abridge bis communication some
what, bnt it is substantiallyas follows:
“ Much has been said in The Agitator in
favor of a'County Monument in memory of the
fell ib this great war for Free
dom and Union. In this I most heartily con
cur. ‘ But there is another class of patriots who
appear & b B danger of oblivion. I mean
those who valordusly and incontinently rushed
to tbe northern frontier during tbe war; who
shed more tears, passed more sleepless nights,
made longer and more rapid marches than any
other class of our citizens.' When the red
waves of rebellion surged against Mason’s &
Dixon’s line, and threatened to overwhelm,
Washington. Baltimore, Philadelphia, and,
Harrisburg, “ tbby stood not fipon tbe order of
their going,” but pushed at once for th« St.
Lawrence, bearing pestilence and famine into
Her "Brifatmlff MajestyV dominions/' So that
the Canucks cried out—“ who will deliver ue
from the body of these dead-boats 1”
Some of these patriots have perished out of
tbe earth. Others have returned, now that the
trump of war is hushed. But of the illustrious
dead I hear no honorable mention.
In view of this, I propose that our farmers
shall contribute to a monument to their memory
to be constructed-oftlanada Thistles, fifty feet
square at the base, and one hundred feet high.
The north face might be illustrated with a
sketch of the great New York riots of 1863,
with' Seymour, MClellan, Pendleton and Val
landigbam, seated on the Chicago platform in
the background. On the cast side a sketch of
Gen Lee heading an army of 100,000, going to
their rescue trio Gettysburg. On the South side
the Salisbury and Andersonville prisons; while
on the west face there might be the scene at
Ford’s theater on the 14th of April last, where
the assassin stands with knife and pistol about
to strike a telling blow for the rebellion.
I charge nothing for this suggestion, and
hope the farmers of Tioga will preserve their
crop of Canada Thistles, so tbatAhoymay be
able to contribute if palled upon.”
/ Veteban.
Westfield, Oct. 28th, 1865.
Editor Agitator —Sig ; Having noticed in
your last two numbers that your correspondent
of this part of the county has.failed to inform
you of the Petroleum dil interest, I will take
the liberty of introducing myself to yon in be
half of the “ Westfield OU & Mining Com
pany." Said company is duly-organized with
charter under the laws of this State. In Au
gust last we commenced to drive pipe. We
are now drilliograt a depth of 320 feet, have
made fina progress and are greatly encouraged
with prospects of final success. .
We found the first Balt rook at a depth of
150 feet; at 193 feet we found the second salt
and sand roek ; this was slightly charged with,
petroleum gas. At 235 feet we attack again a
petroleum sand rock which gave off as pore
and fresh .gas as is found in the large flowing
wells of Venango county.
I speak, from personal • knowledge, having
been a resident of .Oil City .over three years,
and am somewhat accustomed to seeing such
wells. We are daily getting an increased
amount of gas of the pore kind.
I am very confident that Tioga oonnty some
day, (and that not many years hence) will be
one of the most productive of petroleum oil in
the State. What is wanting, is confidence and
concert of action by the people to bring it out.
Many wells may be sunk before the great
fountain is opened, and no doubt some will be
entire failures, yet, wbat matters that, if- the
great treasure for the benefit of the world, can
be brought forth to give light, cheer, and com
fort, to the millions ?
I feel that it is a duty we all owe to bur race
and generation, to help develop and find wbat
can be made osefulout of the bidden treasures.
Some can spare large amounts, and some but
small ones, yet such as they ate, all help to
made the developing fund larger. We, for
the eake of convenience have ep organized our
stock company that we are to sell 3,000 shares
for developing purposes, we have fixed the par,
> value of each share $5O. Those shares we are
now selling for $lO each, so that the person
who wants to riek,slo, or any amount more,
can have a - proportionate panther of shores,
room onson.
and each will receive their due proportion uf
the proceeds of minerals, whatever they may
be, of 1,013 acres, leaded at Westfield. The
whole being divided into shares. I will
semi you a copy of our By-Laws and Prospec
tus which you may examine and make such
remarks through your columns as courtesy and
jbustice demands. I"see you are a well-wisher
to the petroleum interest of our - county, and
should you desire tudiear. from us again I will
try to'devote, a few uf my leisure moments re;
lating facts'during our'progress of developing
and remain very respectfully yours,

Osk op the Lessors opthe Victory.—Penn
sylvania and Ohio unite, says the North Ameri
can,-in bearing their teitamony to the correct
ness of the principles and course of the Union
party. This foot is important at a time when
the Democrats are seeking to reoever .from the
terrible prostration of their party consequent
upon the war. Soldier candidates will not
suffice to bide the treachery of the party or in
duce the people to forget the hideous rebord it
made for itself during the whole period of the
nation’s travail. Soldiers who may hereafter
be tempted Democratic nominations .will learn
from this lesson bow empty is such an honor,
and at the same time will see that the people
will distinguish between the man - and the
cause. They will seo how firmly the masses of
voters cling to the great Union party which
has brought the republic safely out of the jaws
of death. The true place for the Union soldier
is in the Union party. If the Democratic par
ty felt sure ot success at the elections it would
not dream of nominating soldiers for office.—
We advise all Union soldiers hereafter to pon
der over the teachings afforded by this contest,
and keep clear of Democratic associations and
Democratic nominations.
The Lewiston Journal (Maine) speaks thus
irreverently of a popular conglomeration: “At

Not only give immediate relief, but are sure to
effect a permanent cure in Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plaint They are not a purgative, and therefore their
use does not create a necessity for tbe habitual use of
Cathartics. They cause no sickness of the stomach,
no griping of the bowels, and are perfectly harmless
to the most delicate.
:They will immediately correct a Sour Stomach, cure
Flatulence, Heartburn, Sickness or pain in the Stom
ach, Costiveness, Belching of wind, Liver Complaints,
Headache, and in fact ail those disagreeable and dan
gerous symptoms of the disease, which unfit one for
tbe pleasures and duties of life.
They are an agreeable and wholesome appetiser,
without any of tbe injurious effects which are sure to
follow the use of stimulating 41 Bitter” and all pur
gative medioines. By their purifying, strengthening
and invigorating power they are sure to keep the di
gestive organa in a healthy condition, thns preventing
Costivonets, Diarrhoea or Dysentery.
Weak and delicate persons, who have been injured
by the nse of powerful and purgatives, will find them
a mild, safe and suio restorer of the digestive organs
to their original strength and vigor.

rpHE BITTER FRUITS OF BAD BIT^
JL TERB.
Invalid reader, do you know what nine-tenths of
the bitter compounds yon are solicited by the propri
etors to accept as universal panaceas are composed
of t Give heed for a moment. They are mannfao
tnred from unpurlfled alcohol, containing a consid
erable portion of fusel oil, a poison almost as deadly
as prnssic acid. Tbe basis of the regular tinctures oi
the Materia Medina is the same. No amount oi
“ herbal extracts” can overcome the bad tendency of
this pernicious element. The essence of sound Rye
thoroughly rectified is the only stimulant which can
bo safely used as a component of a Tonic, Alterative,
and anti-bilions medicine, anjl HOSTETTER’B STO
MACH BITTERS is the only medicinal preparation
in the world in which this articia is used as an ingre
diont- Hence the extraordinary effects of this great
specific. It gives strength without producing ex
citement. No other tonic does this. All the ordin
ary Bitters flush the face and affect the brain. Hos-
TEma’s Sixties diffuse an agreeable calm through
the nervous system, promote digestion,, and prodace
sleep. No other tonio so quickly revives tbe ex
hausted physical energies, restores tbe appetite, and
removes the gloom and depression which always ac
companies weakness of ths bodily powers.
