A Singular Historical Coincidence.
At the close of the Revolutionary War,
and when the treaty or truce between Great
.Britain and this Government was being Ls-
cussed, a great oner was made by the iJnt-it-h
t!;!egated to the Congress of Ghent, to
secure the return of the confiscated estates
of the tories of the Revolution. But Jay"
and Franklin declared that the- would Mgu
no document jiiovidinc for such a rettora
tion of confiscated property. The conse
quence was that the tories were ejected from
all the .States. Not more than a thousand
were left behind, and these were of the poor
er and more helpless class, who could not
leave the country they had attempted to
ru?n. The lanrer portion of the tories fled
to New Brunswick indeed they made up
that Colony for Great Britain ; so that the
animosity with which the Urunswiekers have
acted towards the Federal cause, is explain
ed by the fact that they are the descendants
of the tories of the Revolution. But there
ij still a stranger coincidence in the history
of the confiscation policy of the Revolution
ary fathers. The only State of the original
thirteen, which refused to enforce, and
which rejK'aleil the confiscation act after it
had become a law, was South Carolina.
The State Government of South Carolina
absolutely invited to its midst the tories of
the Revolution gave back the forfeited es
tates to the tories, and thus by legal enact
ment, as it were, instituted a premium for
treason. We are now reaping the bitter
fruit f this policy. South Carolina has al
ways been the nursery of treason as it has
been the assylum for traitors. The British
Government, which first essayed to save the
estates of these South Carolina tories, was
also the first government in the world to
give aid and comfort to the South Carolina
traitors, while engaging in the rebellion to
aetroy tne .American i nion.
Jhere is something singularly instructive
in these facts. They need but one more
record, and that is, that the Democratic
leaders of IStiO, in connection with the aris
tocrats and the tories of 1770, plotted the
ruin of freedom, that the business of sell
ing men and women into bondage might con
tinue in all the States of the Union.
An Old Description of a Copperhead.
In one of the speet hes made during the
last war with Great Britain, by Felix Grun
dy, of Tennessee, occurs the following de
scription of a thorough-going Copperhead,
as seen at the present day.
An individual goes over, joins the ranks
of the enemy, and raises his arms against
his country, he is clearly guilty of treason
under the Constitution, the act being con
summated. Suppose the same individual
not to go over to the enemy, but to remain
in his own neighborhood, and, by means Cf
his influence, to dissuade ten nreu from en
listing : I ask. in which case haslie benefit
ted the enemy and iujuredjt he country most?"
Again, he says, in answering the question,
whom, then, do I accuse Y
I accuse him, sir, who professes to be
the friend of his country, and enjoys its pro
tection, yet proves himself by his actions to
be the friend of its enemy ; I accuse him
who sets himself to work systematically to
weaken . the arms of the Government by
destroying its credit and dampening the ar
dor of its citizens ; I urcu.; him who has
used his exertions to defeat the loan and
prevent the 3'oung men of t he country from
foing forth to fight their country's battles :
accuse him who announces with joy the
disasters of our arms, and sinks into melan
choly when he hears of our success. Such
men I cannot consider friends to this nation.
Mr. Felix Grun dy was a model Democrat,
in his day, we ln-lieve. C'opperheadism
does not seem to have been '"Democracy"
then. But "the fathers"' were in darkness.
The gospel of the New Church had not o
pened its light upon them. Olds and Val
landigham were not.
A Cite Lawver. A gentleman dying
left all his estate to a monastery, on comli
tiou that on the return of his only son, who
was then abroad, the worthy fathers should
give him whatever they choose." When
the son came home he went to the monas
tery, and received but a small share, the
monks choosing to keep the greater part for
themselves. A barrister to whom he ap
peared to mention the case, advised him to
sue the monastery, and promised to gain his
cause. The gentleman followed his advice.
"The testator,"' said the ingenious barris
ter, "ha? left his son that fdiare of the es
tate which the monks should choose ; these
are the express words of his will. Now it
is plain what part they have chosen, by
what they keep for themselves. My client
then stands upon the words of the will
'Let me have,' says he, 'that part which the
monks have chosen, and I am satisfied,' ."
and he gained the suit.
"I never shot a bird in my life," said
J some one to his friend, "ror my part i
never shot anything in the shape of a bird,
I except a squirrel, which I killed with a
stone, . wheu it fell into the river and was
drowned."
A Uniform Currency.
We profess great admiration for green
backs as a National currency. The popular
mind, too, of late, seems to be drifting in
the same direction. Since we cannot have
gold or silver, or paper money convertible
into specie, is it not desirable .that we should
have a circulating medium approximating in
its essential characteristics to that which it
is intended to represent? The miscellane
ous bills of the various local institutions of
'rie cl'.uu.try are sorry substitutes for iuonev.
Ihe National issues of the Government, or,
what is popularly known as greenbacks, cer
tainly jKissess more claims and enjoy more
favor with the American people than any
iliey supply, in a great measure, a long-felt
national waut. Their value and worth is
co-extensive with the authority of the Gov
ernment. Greenbacks, for nearly all busi
ness purposes, are equivalent to gold. Not
as a measure of values is it claimed ; but
for all commercial uses are they not safe,
convenient and accessible ?
The precious metals f. jr years to come
will have ceased to be looked upon as mon
ey. They are to be regarded, under the
changed circumstances of the nation, mere
ly as articles of traffic, and subject to the
same laws of mutation in price, as govern
other articles of domestic commerce. To
meet the extraoidinary condition of things,
the government has thrown out these vol
umes of paper currency. The faith and
credit of the United States are pledged for
their redemption. Every loyal man in the
North has not only an unswerving reliance
in the .stability of the government, but he
has also an unshaken confidence in the abil
ity and determination of its administration
to crush the present rebellionand to restore
speedily to the country, its former unity and
peace. This opinion is not a transient senti
ment with our people. It is a well consid
ered, deep rooted conviction. It is the
ground and pillar of their faith. While the
national life has been tried as with fire, ev
l'l:i lllilllt-v wn en nn ot hoon tiirmzhnri
ery demand lor men and money has been
met with a readiness and hearty acquies
cence that has no parallel in theannalsof the
world.
The undeveloped resources of the United
States, as evidenced by what the people
have done during the past three j-ears, have
astonished even the monarchies of Europe.
It has been found that an increasing nation
al debt, instead of proving, as was appre
hended by a few timid people, a source of
weakness and decay, has become a bulwark
of national strength and growth. Every
dollar invested in the national obligations
has been an additional bond of adhesiveness
ami perpetuity. The treasure and blood
which have been given to defend aud per
petuate our cherished liberties and institu
tions, serve but to enhance the people's es
timate of their priceless value. So long,
then, as Americans have faith in themselves,
they will have faith in the Government,
and to Jong as they have faith in the Gov
ernment, they will have faith in the credit
of the Government, no master what sharie
it may assume, whether bonds or bauk bills.
These greenbacks are part and parcel of the
Government and the people are the Govern
ment. What letter argument can we offer
for their acceptance as a uniform and na
tional medium of circulation ? Are they
not hoarded as gold formerly was hoarded ?
Do t hey not serve us for money? Are they not
a wtfe,convcnient currency? 'What loyal man
dure refuse them ? or who has ever thought
of declining to receive them ? They are ta
ken in exchange fur all you want to buy.
they will pay all your debts, and they w ill
riot ppoil by keeping. What more is expec
ted? Jjet Congress, then, in a spirit of
wis? legislation, establish a uniform curren
cy, and if they cannot devise anything bet
ter, irreenbacks will be entirelv satisfactory.
Necessarily connected with this Question
of currency is that of taxation and revenue.
If Congress will only have the wisdom and
firmness to impose such a svstem of tariff
duties as will yiela the highest amount of
revenue compatible with the best interests
of the country, it will still add strength to
the public faith and credit. The interests
of the nation demand a thorough and com
plete system of internal taxation as well as
an increased tariff on foreign imports. The
Government must have revenue. Ilerown
citizens, who carry the debt in their pockets,
are animated with the spirit which Congress
has only to imitate in practical legislation.
J'ilt-sburg Commercial.
The Superintendent of Common Schools
in Pennsylvania is collecting from each
School District information respecting the
number of children whose fathers have been
killed in the war, with a view to get the
Legislature to carry out Gov. Curtin's hu
mane suggestion of educating thoe children
at the public expense. No children can
have stronger claim upon the public bounty
than the orphans of soldiers who have given
their lives to theif country. Providing for
their wants in this respect is performing a du
ty imposed not only by justice to the fami
lies of the soldiers, but is an obligation to
society that its unfortunate children shall
not grow up in ignorance, to become a pub
lic pest or incumbrance.
Hi "A Gentleman asked a country clergyman
lor the use of his pulpit for a young divine,
a relative of his. "I really do not know,"
said the clergyman, "how to refuse you ;
but if the young man should preach better
than me, my congregation will be dissatis
fied with me afterwards ; and if he can
preach worse, I don't think he's fit to preach
at all." '
The fanners of Lancaster county are turn
ing their attention to tobacco culture. One
farmer has sold his crop, the product of three
and a half acres, for $1,000. It is estima
ted that the crop raised in the county last
year was worth $1,500,000. The price paid
in Lancaster is from eight to twenty cents,
as to quality. -
The "Subjugation" of States.
"Subjugation" has from the first been a
bug-bear cry to frighten people with weak
nerves : nevertheless, it has produced no of
effect that can be seen at this stage of the
contest. In Arkansas and Louisiana, we
have two examples. Those States were sub'
jugated as much but no more than other
States can be, and just as they will be sub
jugated. The process and the result have
shown, however, how improperly has the
term subjugation been applied. Instead of
the crushing out and breaking down idea,
intended to dc conveyed by those who have
used it, subjugation in Arkansas and Loui
siana has been the freeing of the loyal senti
ment from the tyranny of the rebel lead
ers, who, by overawing the people, carried
State after State out of the Union against
their will, and have ever since held them
thus subjugated wherever the Federal arm
has not rescued them and again placed over
them the old flag. The truth is, with the
exception of South Carolina, and perhaps
Mississippi, thcSouthwas Dracticallvsuhiu-
ateu ana iorcea to secede, ine nressure
rought to bear bv the leaders amounted to
this. It was not till actual collision was pre
cipitated by firing on Fort Sumter that the
leaders were able to force out even Virginia.
Had the Union sentiment been left free, we
doubt whether these States would have se
ceded. It is the emancipation of this sen
timent, and not the subjugation of the peo
ple, that is causing States to return tothe U
nion fold ; and it is this that will finally re
store the Union. Let the distinction be kept
readilv in view.

A dollar here and a dollar there, scattered
over numerous small towns, over the country
miles apart how shall they be gathered
together ? The type founder has hundreds
of dollars against the printer; the paper
maker, the building owner the journeyman
and coniH)sitor, the grocer, the tailor and
all his assistants in carrying on his business,
have their demands, hardly ever so small as
a single dollar. But the mites from here
and there must be diligently gathered and
patiently hoarded or the wherewith to dis
charge the large bills will never become
bulky. We imagine the printer will have
to get up an address to his scattered dollars
something like the following : "Dollars,
halves, quarters, dimes and all manner of
fractions into which ye are divided, collect
yourselves and come home I You are wan
ted for combinations of all sorts of men, that
neip tne printer to Decome a proprietor,
gather in good force and demand such good
reasons for your appearance at his table,
that nothing but a sight at you will appease
them. Collect, yourselves, for valuable as
you are in the aggregate, singly you will
never pay the cost of gathering. Come in
here in single file, that the printer, mav
lorm you into battallions and send you forth
again to battle for him, and vindicate his
credit." Header are vou sure vou havn't.

A "Streight" Answer. The Spring
field A announces the arrival in that
town of 3Iajor J. C. Vanada, of the 3d
Ohio, from Libby Prison. He was captur
ed with Lol. tetreight, and did not see the
outside of the prison till he was liberated.
He relates that Col. Streight was frequently
consulted by the rebel authorities, who fi
nally got from him a straight reply. They
asked him if the North ever expected to
subjugate. "We have been fighting you
now a little less than three years, and have
subjugated three-fourths of " your territory,
and put one-half of your fighting population
on crutches or in their graves ; and I- think
that in three years more we can finish you
up. " That ended the interview.
At the New York Sanitary Fair is a spread
eagle, made of hair. It was presented by
Mrs. ex-Governor Wright, of Indiana. It
measures about twelve inches in length, and
the head, eyes and backbone of this curious
bird, are formed of hair from the head of
President Lincoln. The bill is formed of
Secretary Chase's hair, being symbolical
of greenbacks and other bills. The wing
feathers are made of hair . from, the heads
of thirty-four prominent Senators, arranged
in the order of their age. ' Th tail and parts
of tbe body are also made of bair
Indian Relics.'
In excavating through a gravelly ridge on
the line of the Pittsburg and Erie Railroad,
some two miles west of Erie Pa.', the steam
excavator suddenly struck into a large bed
of human bones. After an examination, .
conclusion was arrived at that they were the
remains of Indians killed in battle.
Indian burying-places are frequently dis
covered in this vicinity, but in most every
instance arrow-heads, beads, stone toma
hawks and other implement and ornaments
pertaining to savage life, are found with the
remains, which latter were always placed
with uniformity in the graves. In this case,
there was nothing found save the skeletons
and they appearing to have . been . closely
packed and placed promiscuously for conve
nience in interring. The pits or trenches
were about four feet from the surlace,and es
timated, by the working men, to have con
tained from two to three hundred skeletons.
It is presumed that there are others in the
vicinity, marking the spot where a terrible
Indian battle must have taken place at least
two hundred vears since.
The eyidence they are of Indian' origin,
is, the phrenological devolopments of the
skulls indicate the savage characteristics.
That they were killed in battle is manifest
from the fact that all that were examined
were found to be males; arid many of the
skulls were broken or fractured, in all prob
ability the effect of blows with the "War
Club."
Senator Hicks on Emancipation.'
Thomas II. Hicks, of Maryland, writes to
the Cambridge (Md.,) Herald from Wash
ington, under date of March 24th : :
"'The general interests of our once happy
and prosperous .county are deeply involved
in the doings of the day. . Alt should be
willing to make a sacrifice on the .altar of
our Union. What are men compared to the
freat interests now before us ? Feeling, as
do, that the interests of Maryland and our
dear country at large must be promoted by
the destruction of slavery, I am decidedly
in favor of emancipation with compensation
by the government. True it is that the war
cannot cease, nor the restoration of the U
nion be effected, until slavery is wiped from
"the land : then let it come and come soon.
even if it must be with or without enumer
ation." .
Voting in Camp. ;
The Rochester Democrat, La discussing
the question of voting in camp, or by proxy,
has the following :
"We have seen an election carried on in
the army of the Potomac. A regiment of
Ohio cavalry cast their solid vote againBt
Vallaudigham, voting while in tbe saddle,
and facing the enemy on the morning of a
day of almost incessant battle. And that
act of the Ohio soldiery citizens in loyal
blue standing in line across the road" at
Brandy Stai ion, each right hand grasping
the ready sabre, which in an hour was to
hew the rebels in front, and the left deposit
ing the ballot which was to rout the Cop
perheads in the rear, it was one of the most
sublime and significant spectacles we have
ever witnessed, and how truly American !"
A banking institution in Philadelphia late
ly received a fifty dollar UnitedStatesTreas
ury note, dated December 1, 1863, payable
two yeare after date, with interest at five
per cent, per annum, the latter payable
semi-annually. It was discovered that the
interest coupons had been detached from
the note, when inquiry was instituted at
Washington as to the value of the note with
the coupon detached, when the following
reply was received : "The coupons beintr
detached it ceases to be a legal tender un
til the 1st of June, 1865, at .which time it
will be received for its full face value."

"Is the President a college graduate ?"
inquired a young lady of not verv extensive
intormation. les, said Quilp, of the
Bosten Post, jocosely ; "he took hi degree
at the Electoral College.",
If you fawn with a repulsive self abase
ment on a rascal when you know him to be
one, what better are you than" he is ? Men
love darkness rather than light only because
their deeds are evil.
