Conditional Philanthropy.
It is remarkable lo observe will,
wbatpaution and discrimination, tli
Abolition press discuss all questions o:
philanthropy, excepting the all abaorl.
ing one of negro emancipation. Up >i
that theme there are no ifs and buts in
their programme. “God-giveu lights,
And' natural rights;” “all men beiny
created equal;” the enormity of dealiue
in “human flesh,” and similar expres
sions of strength and boldness are daily
used to strengthen and help their cause;
but it is not so in regard to some whit
people, whose condition is lamentable
compared to that of the Southern slaves.
To say nothing of the silence of the
Abolition press in regard to Napoleon V
Invasion of the soil of a neighboring
Republic, and his usurping the libertii s
of six millions of people, there are other
proceedings which illustrate the hollow
ness' and fanaticism of Abolitionist?’
pretended philanthropy.' We were for
cibly,struck with this, by reading yes
terday’s Pittsburgh Commercial. Thai
paper, in an article upon the “regenera
ti.in of Ireland,” and that such an
event would only change “one aristoc
racy for another,” it says:
'“There Ib another reason why we view the
efforts for the “regeneration of Ireland" ac
cording to the method proposed, Impracticable,
and that is, because the present population ot
Ireland Is very distinctly divi le.l on the "ic
generation" queetion. There is not a unity o;
feeling on the part of the Irish people in In
land. That is a barrier which amounts to s
very Important consideration. ”
This has been one of the reasons ad
vanced by the English Government, to
Justify its usurpations since Strongbow’s
first invasion of Ireland, seven centuries
ago. It was the same in relation to
Scotland, from the time of Roberi
Brace until the two kingdoms become
united under one King; and we maj
add that it waa so in regard to the Amer
lean revolution. Were the people <>l
the colonies “a unit” in favor of cast
ing off the yoke of Great Britain? By
no means, and. yet our contemporary,
according to its teachings, would have
had them remain passive, because then
were men among them who preferred the
rule of a tyrant, rather than risk then
lives for the independence of their
country. Thus we see that while Ab
olition organs are constantly prating
about the imaginary wrongs of Southern
slavery, they teach the whole doctrina
of passive obedience to tyranny, where
there is not entire unity among a peo
pie, and therefore condemn the very
-principle of the American revolution.
Conservative Vlews.
Thepviews announced by many of
those who supported Mr. Lincoln in the
late election, read very much like those
advanced by the friends of McClellan
during the canvass. For example Hon.
David Dudley Field of New York—an
old Democrat of the Silas Wright school,
but who followed Van Buren in his
Buffalo movement in 1848—made n
the other evening upon the les
sons of thf election in which he said:
wntf spoke and voted for the re-election of out
present Chief Magistrate dissented strongly
from rome of his acts. They are, of course,
free to oppose a repetition of them They
think It of the first necessity that the President
should have v united anil'- responsible Cabinet,
by whose advice he will be guided, and each of
whom has tire confidence of the country. They
insist that the Constitution was made for war
as well as for peace; that nothing may be done
above dr beyond the law; and that In all things
the both President and people, of every
officer, high or low, and of every citizen, is the
% law of.the land* If the election does not signify
our Indiscriminate approval of the acts of the
Administration, much less does It signify an
of any particular plan of reoonstruc
tio 1, as It Is called. There arc those who vote l
fo Mr. Lincoln, and perhaps a majority of
th tn, who think that no reconstruction is ne-
ce.*iary; that in the eye of the lawthe Union n
*9hi/ I tnbroktn; and that all the Government hat
to io is to put down the rebellion, and all the
rebels need do la to submit to the laws.”
Tiffs is the true ground, and it was
upon it that the President first appealed
to the country for aid to save the Union.
But why do not Mr, Field and the old
Barnburner element of the Republican
party jn New Yorb, insißt upon the Ad
ministration adhering to the, sound and
sensible views which they entertain, in
relation to the war and the restoration
of the Union. Were they to make a
demonstration in the Empire St ates, in
favor of the points advanced by Mr.
Field, they would make the President
and the extreme AboUtion faction trem
ble and grow pale. And they ought to
do it; they were tho pioneers in the for
mation of the Republican party; and in
its councils, instead of being entirely
excluded, they ought to have a voice
potential and commanding.
-Soldiers Orphan Home.
Application for admission for soldiers
orphans to this institution should be
made to James M. Gallagher Secretary,

ber can be accommodated.

pieces. Cents are not nearly so much
used as they were. Soma of these days,

A 'Correction.
It was Senator Davis of Kentucky
and not Representative Davis of Mary
land, who introduced the resolutions re
ferred to by us yesterday for the '“resto
ration of peace and Union.” This an-:
nonneement is sufficient to satisfy thO'J
reader that there is no possible chance
of the scheme alluded to being adopted
by Congress. Even if the thing were
practicable, the very fact of Senator
Davis fathering Jt would be sure to de
feat it. He is a “good old man but he
will be talking;” as garrulous as Adam
Winterton, he bores the Senate for hours
at a time and he can clear the galleries
of spectators and listeners quicker than
a loyal Abolition .patriot would gouge
in a government contract. A corres
pondent of a western paper says that he
has good authority for saying that Davis,
and Holman of the House contemplate
retiring from politics, because of their
boring abilities, in order to go after pe
troleum, it has been found that Davis
can bore a well seven thousand feet
deep in a single hour without any ma
chinery other than his own tongue; and
Holman can accomplish nearly as much
in the same space of Uine/with the same
plain and simple apparatus. It is well
for the Government and the country
that “ile” can not he struck iitlie Dia
trict of Columbia; otherwise these two
individuals would soon submerge both
ends of the Capitol in an ocean of grease.
The new firm will have many well
wishers, now that the gentleman coni.
prising it have adopted their right pro
fession. “They will be the right men
in the right place.”
Free Negro Labor at the South
In reading (says the Buffalo Courier)
the recent report of the Auditor of Lou
isiana, a strong anti-slavery document,
we were struck with the fact that au
official entertaining his views should lay
so little stress on the value of free negro
labor as an agency of agricultural pro
duction in that State, and in the further
developement of its natursl recources.
He asks it something cannot be done to
attract to that State a “large population
of skilful and industrious, cultivators,’
and advises that the Legislature shall
establish a bureau of immigration to “as
sist and encourage the emmigration t i
this State of skillful and industrious ag
ricultural laborers, farmers, and me
chamcs from European countries, from
the Northern States, and trom Canada.’’
The New York Times has a New Or
leans correspondent whose representa
tions present a rather discouraging pic
ture of the working of the free negro
system there. He says:
“The crying evil which may be heard
on every plantation down the Miksis
sippi is the incorrigible indolence of the
negroes, and with it the lack of power
to make the niggers work. The ‘freed
men, will work only as they feel dispos
ed. The planter has no means to com
pel him to labor, and consequently the
negroes on most plantations are under a
poor condition of discipline. Not one
in fifty will raise a finger to help them
selves so long as they can get enough to
eat by stesling and possess a rag to
cover their nakedness. Independent of
the ravages of the army worm the crops
of the majority of the plantations would
have resulted in small returns the pres’
ent season. I h?ve heard a dozen plant
ors assert this fact, and they attribute il
to no other cause than the universal in
disposition of the negroes to do the net
essary work, and the utter inability of
the superintendents to get the work out
of them. The negroe9are paid, c lothed,
and fed; yet they will steal sugar, and
either eat it or sell it. They steal the
cotton undercover of the night, and dis
pose of it to the numberless petty spec
ulators, many of whom put them up in
it. They steal the corn and feed their
pigs with it and save their own for mar
ket. They feign sickness and will lie iu
ihe hospital for weeks when nothing ou
earth is the matter with them. The ne■
groidea of freedom is that of unrestrain
ed license to do &b they please and go
where they choose.”
A Republican Sketch of Demo
cratic Congressmen.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer , a Republican or
gan,inits notices of prominent Con
gressmen, says:
Nearly behind him is George H. Pen
dleton, late Democratic candidate for the
Vice-Presidency. Mr. Pendleton is a
man of fine personal appearance. He is
somewhat above the medium bight,
with curly black hair and slight mouß
tache and side whiskers; of dignified
carriage. He cannot fail to command
respect. The center of an attentive
group of his friends, he is apparently
provoking tbeir risibilities to a high de
gree. He takes his late defeat with the
most good-humored nonchalance. He
retires from the House at the close ol
the present session.
To his right is “Sunset” Cox, of Ohio,
ihe active leader of the Democracy of
ibe House. He is not more than five
leet and a half in h.ght, his face anil
bead covered with black hair, making
him look scarce thirty, while in reality
be is over forty. Wiry, active and en
ergetic, his party will miss bim greatly.
He spoke good humoredly of his defeat
on Tuesday, during the consideration of
« proposition for the selection of new
seat 9 by the members, offered by Eliot,
of Massachusetts, who has a bad loca
non on the extreme outside now. Cox
being blessed with a good resting place,
moved to postpone the resolution until
ibe first Monday in December next,
when, as he said, “he didn’t intend to
lake a seat, and the selection would be
eminently proper.”
Chevalier Forney and the Navy
Department.
There is a good deal of talk and grop
ing around in the dark in this State
about Chevalier Forney and his ap
oointment as Secretary of the Navy. It
true there has been a meeting here of
influential politicians on the subject,
and a recommendation, it is reported, in
favor of Forney as the successor of old
Welles has been forwarded to Washing
ion. Forney, at any rate, would ipake
a better Secretary than Welles. It is
true they were brought up in the same
shool, that of editorial life and experi
ence, from which, as you say, the beat
selections of statesman can be made.
But Welles was a stupid editor and
Forney a smart one. Hence the differ
ence in favor of Forney. The move
ment in support of the Chevalier is a
stronger one than may be imagined.
He has among his advocates that Bhrewd
old politician, Simon Cameron, who
comes out strongly in favor of the man
he and his followers, it has been Baid,
wronged out of a seat in the-United
States Senate at the beginning of Bu
chanan’s administration. All the old
Democrats in Pennsylvania are moving
against Welles and in support of For
ney. Next they will make a move to
oust Old Abe.

THE POST—PITTSBURGH? FRIDAY- MORNING, DECEMBER 16,1864
Dostrfiotion of the Shenandoah •
Valley.
The Horn Wm. B. Reed, of PhiladeK i
pliia, was invited to address the people; I
of ChesterlaiiSii, Maryland, on the 3d oft i
November. Being unable to attend, hoc i
addressed them a letter, in which he i
Bays:
Let me pause a moment here, on a i
matter o'f contrast, and a matter of his
tory. I read in the Administration pa
pers of the d ev, that on the 29th of Sep
tember 18(54. General Grant, from his
headquarters in front of Richmond, is
sued au order to a distant Lieutenant in
these words —I prefer giving the very
words:
“Do all the damage you can to tin
railroad and corps; carry off stock of all
descriptions, and negroes, so &9 to pre
vent further planting. If the war is to
laßt another year, let the Shenandoah
Valley remain a barren waste.”
And the deed of desolation has been
done, and the waste of fire has swept
over that beautiful and fertile valley. 1
wonder if Gen. Grant, or his superiors
at Washington, whe instigate or permit
these awful mandates, ever read in his
tory. Presuming they do not let me,
if my voice may he supposed to reach
their ears, read them, and read you, for
meditation, a page of history nor very
ancient. I read words, as to the past,
which I beg you to think of in the ghast
ly glare of the present:
“in February, 1689, the king had re
solved to make a desert (the modern
word is ‘a barren waste,’) of the Palati
nate. It was done in order to prevent
his enemies from subsisting there.
There came to the army an order of the.
king, signed by Louvois, Minister of
War, (the title of Secretary of War was
not then in use) ‘to reduce every thing
to ashes.’ The Generals, who hail no
choice but to obey, gave notice in the
middle of winter, (tt iB autumn with us)
‘to the inhabitants of the villages an.l
the towns, to the farmers, to all, that
they must quit their homes in order that
they might be destroyed by the sword
and by fire. Old men, women, children
fled in hast. Some wandered in the
forests, some fled to neighboring regions,
while the soldiers who rarely execute
orders in mercy, burned and sacked the
country.
They began at Manheim and Heidle
berg; iney destroyed homes in town and
country; ihe tombs of the dead wen
broken open, and their ashes dispersed.
It was the second time,” the (analogy
| here was frightful,) “this beautiful vai
! ley has been desolated; bnt the flames
| of previous campaigns were mere spark?
in comparison lo this last burning, li
was the War Minister who gave tbi.-
nrdcr, whose heart had been hardened
by a long continuance in office; hut it
was the King who might have prevent
ed ii. Foreign nations who, down to
that lime, had blamed him with a sort
of admiration of his vigor, cried aloud
against his cruelty now, and criticized
his policy, for, said they, if the King’s
territories should happen to be invaded
by his enemies, what could he expect
from them in turn?"
So wrote a French historian of this
French act oi desolation; and thus, the
art of waste and fire slan.ls on the etcr
nal records oi ibe past. Until now it
ha? had no parallel, for the crops oi
PukiiiJ and Circassia are allowed to
eiow, and La Vendee was not desolat
ed , except of her fighting men and
boys. I have never seen this Shenan
, doah Valley, and cannot measure il?
, past or its future, hut 1 have seen the
Palatinate, and stood amid the ruins ol
i the human outrage on the beautiful
l field* which the Rhine waters, (sueh i>
nat marvelous elasticity,) man's
w’orka are in fresh ruins, as if the deed
! were done yesterday, and its memory
still lives in the agrieved heart of man
So innch for the contrast of history
[ I have another contrast of later date,
I and for my present purpose of more di
rect interest. il is not necessary for
i me again to read to you General Grant’s
. order ol desolation. lam sure you will
remember each one of its burning
words.
The Monstrous Cruelty of Gener
al Paine
Senator Powell, of Kentucky, lately
moved that the Secretary of War be di
reeled if not incompatible with the pub
lie interests, to communicate with the
Senate the proceedings of the military
commission appointed to investigate the
conducL of General Paine, in Ken
tucky.
In some remarks sustaining Ibe mo
tion, Mr. Powell said:
i do not know what is in the report
I have heard some persons who claim
to know, state what was in it.
I have understood from persons in
that locality, who ought to have9ome
knowledge of the character ol this re
port, that it has such evidence in it as
convicts this man of the most heinous
barbarities.and cruelties ever indicted
upon any people or any civilized com
munity. And not only General Payne
engaged in these, but some of his sub
ordinate officers and some citizens out
side. 1 have seen and conversed with
persons wbo were present when this
commission was in session. From these
persons 1 learn the character of the ev
idence, and to some extent it has also
been a matter of a good deal ol dis
cussion in the newspapers. 1 under
stand that General Paine did have no
tice of the sitting of this commission;
that he was notified the commission
would assemble at Paducah, aud that
he and bis staff officers absented them
selves. 1 understand there is no sup
position about the damning crimes with
which these men are charged, but that
there is full proof against them.
Republican Senators opposed the prop
osition, and voted it down.
How Webb’s Letter is Viewed in
England
There has been some curiosity express
ed to see how the letter of Mr. Webb,
our Minister to Brazil, abusing England
in a diplomatic communication to Brazil,
will be received in Great Britain. The
■London Timet says of it:
It is fortunate for the peace of the
world that the English nation is not
easily moved by unseemly language,but,
content with resistance to actual wrong,
permits words,however offensive, to pass
by without regard. Happily our steady
resolve to abstain from interference in
the affairs of an agitated continent will
never be weakened by any taunts or in
vectives coming from Americans, how
ever highly placed. For this reason we
may regard the answer of Mr. Watson
Webb, the United States Minister at Rio
Jaueiro, to the Brazilian Government,in
the affair of the Florida, as a matter of
not the slightest political importance,
andns only showing the temper in which
certain men representing the most power
ful section of America are accustomed to
think and talk of us. The capture ofthe
Florida iu Bahia harbor was an. outrage
for which no ability could find a Justifi
cation; the wrong was so gross and pal
pable that Mr. Webb douid not but re
pudiate complicity in it.
That does not look as if the letter
would have much effect in England,
It is singular that the two great tray
elers and discoverers in’ Africa should
both die from paltry accidents. Bruce
was killed by falling down stairs, his
foot having slipped; and poor Speke has
fallen hy the careless use of his gnn.
Deer are said to be abundant in the

miles Southwest of Terre -Haute.

What is a Cyclone,
Probably few readers are able to form
anytblng llke an adequate conception ol
the fearml import conveyed in’ a recent
bhef announcement of the occurrence
in India of an extensive cyclone or hur
ricane. Here, in the temperate zones,
where the seasons glide gradually and
almost imperceptibly into edch other,
great changes are unknown, and storms,
with rare exceptions, come and go with
but a passing notice. In the torrid zone?
however; all this is changed. For long
months the sun, with scarcely a cloud
toJeBSOD its strength; burns and parches
everything upon which it shines, the
heated air baking the ground as in a
lurnace.—At length, with no interven
tion of an autumn, the winter seta iu
and the rains commence, and for long
periods pour down in floods. An im—
mence condensation of moisture, a con
dition of the atmosphere something re
sembling a vacunm, and an immediate
rushing In the surrounding air, follow;
and a gigantic whirlwind at once sets in,
sweeping over the country in every di
rection, uprooting trees, tearing down
buildings, and creating havoc whereso
ever it goes. On the water no precau
tions will suffice-to guard against its ef
fects, and the results are always tum
ble.
The storm of thesth of last month wa?
not the most extensive which is record
ed, and yet the damage done is almost
incalculable. Out of about two hun
dred vessels moored in the Bay of Ben
gal, hardly twenty are left fit for sea,
and nearly twenty thousand lives
supposed to be lost. Column after col
umn of the journals of the day are de
voted to accounts of the damages, and
the record is not yet complete. Such a
Warfare of the elements it is of coum
impossible to describe; but its fury can
in a light measure be appreciated by a
comparison with the most violent storms
that have visited the temperate regions
and look like petty accidents alongside
the Typhoons of India. In 944 a storm
occurred in London, in which it is said
fifteen hundred houses were blown
down, and other have bceu known
which occasioned nearly the same
amount of damage.
In 1703 occurred what has since been
known as “Thu Great Storm” in which
3,000 persons were dtowned in and
around England and Holland, and the
losses to the city of London alone were
estimated at $10,000,000. In one county
in England, 17,000 trees were torn up,
and the numbe£ of cattle and sheep
were beyond ‘Calculation, 15,000 sheep
being drowned'fh one level. From year
to year various storms have occuned
with more or less serious results, but
this is perhaps the most extensive of the
middle regions. If we imagine sueh a
tornado as the one which has just passed
over Calcutta, ragingthrough the dense
ly populated cities of Europe, we can
torn some conception of its power and
the wrecks it would produce.
A Singular History
In the year 1830 the city of Butialo, N.
W, contained amoug its population a
citizen of indefatigable industry and un
tiring enterprise. Whole blocks of ca
pacious warehouses were erected by
him, new streets were laid out, graded,
paved and lighted upon his recommen
dation and with his assistance; and no
pnblic undertaking was considered sure
of success without the sanction and aid
of this public spirited citizen. The crash
of 1837 came, and it caused him to tot
ter. To sustain his credit for a few
days, in an evil hour he committed a
deed which consigned him to the State
Prison. Pardoned out, and no ineradi
cable stigma save that inseparable from
misfortune attaching to his name, he
came to New Vork city and started the
hotel business at the corner of Broad
way and Cortland street. Failing in
tiiia, he went to “Long Island’s seagirt
shore” and took the Bath House, a
summer establishment. Soon disgusted
with hi? ill luck then 1 , he left this re
gion ol civilization altogether and
sought the solitudes of West Virginia
us a place of quiet and r< ?t for the re
mainder of hi? days, lie settled in
what has proved to be the heart of the
West Virginia oil region—and now this
unfortunate yet lucky, this untiring and
irrepressible man, concludes his strange,
eventful history by leaving to his heirs
a fortune valued at three millions ot dol
lars. He bore the well known name ot
Hathbun.
Arms Lost in Batti.k —That a raw
soldier, in the excitement and agitation
of a battle may fail to discharge bis gun,
and put charge upon charge until it is
loaded to bursting, is probable enough.
But the extent to which this sort ol
blundering proceeds is greater than
mosts persons wnnld suppose, lu the
annual report ol the Chief of the Bureau
of Ordnance of the Navy Department,
it is stated that.
“On the field of Gettysburg there
were 27,574 guns picked up, and of
these 24.000 were found to be loaded,
and half of them were double loaded.
One fourth had from three to ten loads
in, and many had five or six balls to one
charge ol powder. In some cases the
powder was above the ball, in others
the cartridges were not broken at the
end, while in one musket twenty-three
balls sixty-two bncksbot, and a quanti
ty of powder were all mixed up togeth
er.”

ALSO, Three-eighths of the land interest in

This property is considered as valuable as that
or Cherry Run—no failure ever having been
made there. This well is being put down free
of expense to the Company.
ALSO, Nine acres and 141 perches, in fee
simple, on Cherry Tree Run. This is all bottom
land on both sides of the Creek, and good boring
territory. A large number of wells are down
and going down in the vicinity, one of which is
producing fifty barrels per day.
As can easily be estimated, the present pi oduot
from the Number One interest alone, will suffice
to pay a dve per cent, dividend per month from

The above Company is to be organized under
the manufacturing laws of Pennsylvania, with
a capital stock of 4150.000, 450,000 of which is to
be reserved as a developing fund.
Its property consists of eighty acres in iee
simple, on Duck Creek, Ohio, in the heart of
the well developed oli territory, and near the
famous Duck Creek Oil Company’*, tract, the
aha res of which are now worth from*426 to 430,
and only 14,60 paid in. The Acme Oil Compa
ny s territory Is also quite near. The stock of
thu latter Company is held at a very high price
—trom 425 to 435, with a very small amount
paid in. The celebrated “Dutton well” ir in
the neighborhood. This well has flown and
pumped more oli than any other well in the
country.
The Duck Creek Oil regions are regarded as
fast out rivaling the Pennsylvania Oil Creek
and Its tributaries, and the quality of the oil
from the former ranks about double the value
of the latter. 1 1 will therefore, be seen that
the selection Jmade by the “Muskingum and
Duck Creek Co.” is at such a point that it is
almost as oertain to strike a vein of oil as it is
to obtain water in sinking a well. Besides
'here is abundance oi timber suitable for der
ricks, etc.
The Company intend to proceed at once to
the development of its land by the use of the
beat'machinery and pumps thatoanbe obtained.
The sinking of two wells will be commenced im
mediately, which will be sunk at the lowest
oil stratum, and tlve or six shallow wells will
be completed in a very short time, which alone
wIU produce from five to ten barrels: each per
day. The large capital is set apart for develop
ing, insures the most ample means for 'prosecu
ting the work with the utmost ; vlgor, and
should the large sum set apart for working capi
tal be more than is needed,the oversplus.as soon
as enough oil if obtained for working ex
penses, wIU be divided among the stockholdsa,
with the first dividend.
Due notice will be given when the Books of
Subscription will be i,open, and where parties
