THE PRESIDENT'S ADDEESS.
The inaugural address of President Lin
coln is brief, and, politically, scarcely tug
gestive. Four years a?o the President, as
suming for the first time the duties of a great
office, was expected to declare the policy
which would control his actions and address
words of counsel to the passionate men who
were threatening the integrity of tlieGovern
inent. How liberal were his views, how
earnestly he endeavored to avoid the men
acing conflict, the recollections of-the peo
ple have truly recorded. Since that time
the danger which was sought "to he avoided
lias heen pressed upon us. The nation has
been compelled to battle for its existence,
and the conrest is not yet ended. The Pres
ident might hare reviewed the occurrences
of the last, four years, and vindicated his
policy. S uch a eoari'3 would have been pro
per, had his mind been so inclined. But it
was in better taate to avoid it.
The history of the Government was be
fore the country in November last. Its pol
icy hid teen well defined; and whether its
mor.Fures were worthy of the approval of
citizens, was the great question to be deci
ded by the people. They did decide it, and
by such an overwhelming vote, that repeti
tion of the arguments used to sustain the
policy would he unnecessary now. The
President has. therefore, barely adverted to
them. His address is that of an earnest
man, who, fully understanding the nature
of the weighty obligation which he has as
Humed, does not disparage the solemnity of
the act by flatulent rhetoric and idle words.
The tone of the speech is that of one who
approaches the most impressive of obliga
tions, by the simple announcement that ho
will perform it to the best of his ability,
humbly trusting in God and beseeching the
assistance and favor of Ms countrymen.
That the noble aspirations of the President
for the speedys conclusion of this dreadful
contest may soon be grantedl and that the
country may once more prosper in the light
of, peace, and may meet with the favor of
Providence, will be the sincere hope of eve
ry Christian and patriot.
Strength of the Annies.'
The whole available rebel force at the
disposal of Lee is put down, by the N. Y.
lYorlJ, at 140,000 ; and that under Gener
al Grant, in Virginia and the Carolina-, at
2T0.000. The same paper also surmises
that Lee may detach sufficient troops from
his army, to swell that operating against
Sherman to Jt),0i leaving 50,000" to de
fend Richm'ond and Petersburg. Sherman's
army, it is said, is not less than 120,000.
This being the case, it is not likely that the
rebels can successfully resist Sherman in his
progress towards the rebel capital.
Sheridan Defjat3 Early.
A dispatch dated City Foint, March 5th
says: Deserters and Refugees, from every
part of the enemy's lines, confirm the re
port that Gen. Sheridan had captured the
rebel Gen. Early and his whole force, con
sisting of 1,800 men, between Stanton and
Charlottesville. and the occupation of the lat
ter place by Sheridan. A Winchester letter
states that Sheridan started in the direction
of Lynchburg on the 27th, with about five
thousand cavalry, which goes to confirm the
truth of the above dispatch.
Sherman's Whereabouts.
Nothing definate is kuown of Gen. Shef7
man and his army since they left Columbus,
S. C. The rebel papers, howevc, intimate
that Sherman made a flank movement on
Florence, and that he was moving from
thence on Fayetteville, North Carolina,
which is at the head of steam boat naviga
tion on Cape Fear river, and on the direct
rout to Goldsborongh. No fears are enter
tained for the tafety of Sherman's army,
but great anxiety is manifested to hear of
its whereabouts.
Promotion of Col. Harry White.
A telegraphic dispatch from Gen. Came
ron to Senator Lowry, announces that Col.
Harry White has been promoted to Briga
dier General.' The administration never
did an act that gave greater satisfaction to
the Senate of Pecnsylvania, than this pro
motion ; and the Senators are jubilent over
it, inasmuch as the gallant Colonel was a
member of that body at the time of his in
carceration in the rtsbel prisons.
A steady stream of emigrants front lister
State?, particularly Pennsylvania, is pOTir
rng!'into Maryland, now that "free la
bor" .has become a settled fact. In every
county of the State large sales of land have
taken place ' during the past two months,
and the purchasers are men who intend td
settle,' and who do not purchase for the
fake of speculation. " ' ; ' : '? ' ' 1 w
Eribery at the White House.
Some of the copperhead papers are mak
ing a great outcry over a c:irl published in
a. Washington paper by Emerson Ethe
ridge, of Tennessee, stating, in. effect, that
a person came from Tennessee to secure the
release of live rebel prisoners that he paid
C. O'Leary, the doorkeeper at the Execu
tive mansion, $50 for securing the Presi
dent's attention to the subject, and that he
saw several other persons bribe the same
doorkeeper in the same way for similar ser
vices. Mr. Etheridge states that he him
self went through the same performance
for the purpose of testing the matter, and
he closes his card thus :
"I make this matter public frcm motives
of humanity. During the last year I have
made applications for the discharge of pris
oners of war upon the terms mentioned in
the above-order of the Presid"tt; but in no
iustance have I been successful. I have of
ten written to the friends and kindred of pris
oners that there was no end to their captiv
ity but peace. I rejoice, however to he a
ble at last to inform tho.se who feel an inter
est in the matter, that a cheap and- expedi
tious remedy is within their pow er: Com
missioners of exchange may disagree, Butler
may higgle about his niggers, but ten dol
lars inclosed to 'C. O'Leary, Executive,
Mansion, 'Washington. D.C.," will restore
any repentant rebel to the blessings of free
dom and the society of friends. ' '
The Washington Chronicle gives the se
quel. It states that when this statement
was shown to Mr. Nicolay, the President's
Private Secretary, the servant, O'Leary. was
called and questioned on the subject He
confessed having induced a member of Con
gress to present the petition to the Presi
dent, w hose signature va.s promptly given
to the order for the release of the prisoners,
on condition that they should take the oath;
an'l he also confessed to having received a
present of money for his services, lie was
at once dismissed from his place. We hope,
gays the Teleyroplt, that Mr. Emerson
Eiheii.lge and the copperhead press feel
better. '
Unparalelled E-ebel Treachery...
Some days since it was announced that
Columbia. 8. C, had been burned by Gen.
Sherman's troops ; but no particulars were
given. Later advices, however, would indi
cate that the city was burned, by order of
Gen. Sherman, as a punishment for citizens
Bring upon our troops when it was in our
possession. The following is the statement
of the burning of the place, as cotruuunica
'ted to the Arago, by a dispatch boat, when
off Charleston Bar, which, if it be true, il
lustrates unparalleled rebel treachery. The
officers who brought the iateligoncc to
Charleston state "that soon after a Corps of
General Sherman's troops had captured
Columbia, the capita! of South Caro':ina; the
rebel citizsiis there endeavored in every pos
sible manner to harrass our troop3. The
corps which entered the city after its cap
ture at once left to join in Sherman's fur
ther advance, and was succeeded by another
(Gen. Slocum's.) While the latter corps
was quietly marching through the principal
streets to their temporary barracks, a num
ber of the citizens poured a deadly fire upon
them from the windows and roofs of the
houses they occupied. Insurrection was be
ginning to spi-ead, when our troops retired
a short distance, and subsequently Sred the
city which is now in ashes. No further
particulars were received.
The Richmond Examiner of the 2S'th in
referring to the burning of Columbia says,
that ':a'rumor, which is doubtless exaggera
ted, has it that three fourths of the city has
been destroyed.

A Sentiment from Gen Burnside.
A masonic festival washeld in Providence
on Wednesday evening, at which the follow
ing toast was read from General Bcrxside,
who had promised to be. present, but was
unavoidably detained:
Abraham Lincoln His integrity, loy
alty, courage, determination and faith in
the great truths enunciated by Saint Paul to
the men of Athens, that God hath made of
one Llood all nations of men to dwell on the
face of the earth," and by the signers of the
Declaration of Independence, that "all men
are born equal," have made him a fit instru
ment in the hands of Divine Providence to
to . carry our people through the fearful
struggle now being enacted; and we promise
him and his officers now leading our armies
our cordial support, confident that they will
succeed in re-establishing the authority of
the Government, and in making it respected
at home and abroad.
New Postage Staap.
A self-cancelling postage stamp has been
invented. Instead of moistening the back
of these" stamps, the facev being gummed, is
dampened and placed on the letter as usual,
w'hen such an impression on the face of the
letter renders their removal impossible. If
by any process, the stamps are. taken off, it
must be destroj'cd, while the impression re
mains plainly upon the letter. The self-cancelling
operation will save a vast amount of
time and labor in all our postoffices, and in
sures security against being re-used or picked
off by thieves. The main point of inquiry
now appears to be, whether these light and
delicate stamps will be found able to. resist
the action of neat in warm weather, nnd be
as completely portable as the present issue ;
whether, in folding them, they would not
adhere to each other, or break so as to dis
figure the vignette.

INAUGUEATIOH 01 ME. LIKCOLH.
The inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, as
President, took place on Saturday, March
4th. The oath to protect and defeud the
Constitution of the United States was ad
ministered by Chief Justice Chase, in the
presence of thousands of witnesses. After
having taken the oath of office, the Presi
dent delivered the following address : .
TiUoio Countrymen: At this second ap
pearing to take the oath of the Presidential
officer, there is less occasion lor an extended
address than there was at the first. Then a
statement, somewhat in detail, of a course
to be pursued, seemed very fitting and pro
per. Now, at the expiration of tour years,
during which public declarations have been
constantly called forth on every point and
phase of the contest which still absorbs the
attention and engrosses the energies of the
nation, little that is new could bo presented.
The progress of our arms, upon which all
etae chiefly depends, is as well known to the
public as myself, and is, Intrust, reasonably
satisfactory and encouraging to all. With
high hopes for the future, no prediction in
regard to it is ventured on this occasion.
Koeurring to the inaugural four years ago,
all thoughts were then anxiously directed to
an impending civil war all decried it; all
sought to avoid it. While the inaugural ad
dress was being delivered from this place,
devoted altogether to having the Union
without srents were in the
city seeking to dissolve the Union, and di
vide the effects by negotiation of both tho
parties, described. One of them would
make war and let the nation "survive, and
the other would accept war rather than let
it perish; and the war came on. One. eighth
of the wholo population were considered
slaves not distributed generally over the
Union, but in the Southern part of it. The
slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful
interest. All know that this interest was
somehow the cause of the war. To
strengthen, perpetuate and extend this in
terest was the object for which the in-uirerits
wouM rend the Union by war; while the
government claimed no right to do more than
restrict the territorial enlargement of it.
Neither party expected for the war the mag
nitude or the duration which it has already
attained: neither expecting that the cause of
the conflict would cease even before the
conflict itself should cease. E:;ch looked
for an easy triumph, and a result fundamen
tal and astounding. Both read the same
Bib-la and pray to the same God, find each
invokes his aid against the- other. It may
seem very strange that any man should dare
to a-k ;i jut, God's assistance in wringing
their bread from the sweat of other men's
faces but, "judge not that we be not judge
ed." The prayers of both should not be
answered fully. The Almighty has his own
purposes. "Woe unto the world because of
offences, for it must needs be that offences
come; but woe unto the man by whom the
offence come." And if we shall suppose
that American slavery is one ol the so-called
offences w hich, in the providence of God,
must needs come, but which, having con
tinued Its appointed time, lie, now wills, to
remove, and that lie gives to both North
and South this war as the woe due nnfo
those by whom the offences came, shall we
discern that then is any departure from,
these Divine attributes, which the believers
in a living God always attribute to him?
Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray,
that this mighty scourge of war may speedily
pass away. Ytt, if Gon wills that it con
tinue until all the wealth piled up by the
bondmen's two hundred and fifty years of
unrequited toil shall bo sunk, and until
every drop of blood drawn with the lash
shall be paid by another drawn with the
sword, as was said three thousand years ago,
still it must be said, "the judgments of the
Lord were true and righteous altogether."
With malice towards none; with charity
for ali; with firmness in the right, as God
tnves us to see the right, let us strive on to
finish tlie work we arc in to bind up the
national wounds, and care for him who shall
have borne the battle, and for his widow and
orphans, and to do all which may achieve
and cherish a just and lasting peace among
ourselves and with all nations. .
The Way Deserters Look at Things
A correspondent from the Army of the
Potomac writing under date of Feb. 25th,
says: A squad of deserters who came over
on Thursday night were tired upon furiously,
but, -strange to tell, not a man of them was
injured. After thc-y reac hed a place of safe
ty, some of our men inquired how it wa3
that they all escaped, "Oh," said the spokes
mas, of the party, "them fellers fired too
high to hit us!" "Yes, yes," returned the
picket officer, "but why did they fire so
high?" "Oh! why, don't you know ?"
answered the rebel; "well, it's because they
are coming over themselves to-morrow
right!" Another lot of fifty-three deserters
from a Souih Carolina regiment, who also
came in on Thursday night, reported them
selves as "peace commissioners." They said
that asMessrs. Stephens, Hunter and Camp
bell had failed to make terms with the
Administration and bring them back into the
Union, they concluded to come over them
selves and see what they could accomplish in
that line. One of this uurnber declared that
they had gone into this war to-"put down
the heresy that a negro is as good as a white
man;" but as that doctrine was now appa
rently about to be adopted at the South, and
the negroes were to be placed in the ranks
there and made their equals, they wished to
go North, where there were fewer of such
equals to be found. The introduction of
negro soldiers into the Southern army is re
presented as being exceedingly distasteful to
the white men, and likely tomake desertions
far more numerous than ever.
Tenn'a Railroad Company-. The late
report of this company gives the following
exhibit of its finauces for 1864. Total earn
ings, $14,759,057 66 ; total expenditures,
$10,696,944 19; excess of earnings over
expenditures, $4,065,113 47. Of the net
profits, $1, 523,637 has been applied to the
payment of two semi-annual dividends of five
percent; $1,113,024 03 to Harrisburg and
I Lancaster Railroad . Company ; aud $323,-
609 90 to interest upon its aebt, taxes upon
dividends, etc. The whole business of the
company seems to have been conducted to
the entire satisfaction of the Directors, du
ring the year." The accidents on the road
were as follows: Passengers killed 14, injur
ed 47; employees killed 44, injured 122';
others killed 61, injured 49. Total killed
119, injured 218.. . V .
Facta About the 7-30s The Advantages
they offer. .
Their Absolute Security. Nearly all
active credits are now based on the Govern
ment seenrities, and banks hold them as the
very best and strongest investment they can
make. If it were possible to contemplate
the financial failure of the Government, no
bank would be any safer. If money is loan
ed on individual notes or bonds and mortga
ges, it will be payable in the same currency
as the Government pays with, and no bet
ter. The Government never has failed to
meet its engagements, and the national debt
is a first mortgage upon, the whole property
of the country. While other stocks fluctu
ate from ten to fifty, or even a greater per
cent, Government stocks are always compar
atively firm. Their value is fixed and reli
able, beyond all other securities; for while
a thousand speculative bubbles rise and
burst, as a rule they are never below par,
and are often above.
Its Liberal Interest. The general
rate of interest is six per cent, payable an
ualiy. Tin's is seven and three-tenth, paya
ble semi-an unally. If you lend on mortgage,
there must be a searching of titles, lawyers'
fees, stamp duties and delays, and you will
finally have returned to you only the same
kind of money you would receive from the
Government, and less of it. If you invest
uu this loan, you have no trouble. Any
bank or banker will obtain it for you with
out charge. To each note or bond are affixed
five "coupons" or fntcrest-ticket, due at the
expiration of each successive half year. The
holder of a note has simply to cut off one of
these coupons, present it to the nearest
bank or Government Agency, and receive
his interest ; the note itself need not be pre
sented at all. Or a coupon thus payable
will everywhere be equivalent, when due, to
money. If you wish to barrow ninety cents
on the dollar upon the notes, you have the
highest security in the market to doit with.
If you wish to sell, it will bring within a
fraction of cost and interest at any moment.
It will be very handy to have in thi? house.
It is convertible into a six per cent,
gold-bearing bond. At the' expiration 'of
three years a holder of the notes of the 7-30
Loan has the option of accepting payment
in full or of funding his notes in a six per
cent, gold-interest Cond, the principal paya
ble in not less than' five, v.v more than
twenty years from its date, as the Govern
ment may vlec.t. These bonds are belt at
such a premium as to make this privilege
now worth two or three per ct-nt per annum,
and adds so much to the interest. Notes of
the same class, issued three years ago, are
now selling at, a rate that fuliy proves the
correctness of this statement.
Its Exemption from State or Muni
cipal Taxation. But aside from all. the
advantages we have enumerated, a special
A ctjcf Congress exempts al! bonds on J Treas
ury notes from biral taxation. On the av
erage this exemption is worth about two per
cent, per annum, according to the rate of
taxation in various parts of the country.
It is a National Savings Bank.
While this loan preseufs great' 'advantages
to large capitalists, it offers special induce
ments to those who wish to make a safe and
profitable investment of small savings. It
is in every way the best Savings' Bank ; fr
every institution of this kind must somehow
invest its deposits profitably in order to pay
interest cad expenses. They will inrest
largely in this loan, a3 the bcht investment.
But for the gross interest which they re
ceive, they must deduct largely for the ex
penses pf the Bank. Their u-;ual rate of inter
est allowed to depositors is 5. per cent, upon
sums over 500. The person who invests
directly with Government will receive al
most 50 percent more. Thus the man who
deposits $1000in a private Saving's Bank re
ceives 50 dollars a year interest; il'be depos
its the same sum in this National Savings'
Bank be receives 73 dollars. For those who
wish to find a safe, convenient, aud profita.
ble means of investing the surplus earnings
which t hoy have reserved fr their old age
or for the benefit of their children, there is
nothing which preseuts so many advantages
as this National Loan.
The Highest Motive. The war i evi
dently drawing to a close, but while it lasts
the Treasury must have money to meet its
cost, and every 'motive that patriotism can
inspire should induce the people to supply
its wants without delay. The Government
can buy cheaper for ca.-h in hand than on
credit. Let us see that its wants are
promptly and liberally satisfied.

lUlOWNING'S
EXCELSIOR COFFEE.
Whilst trying Cc.fT.-e of all tha vario brands.
Remember' U!iOVNING'.S LXCKL-'lOlt" at th
head i; stands.
True, it's not like others that are "SOLDEVEKY-
WJIt'KE."
A little stretch, ve all Jo know, good goods will
easily bear.
iBut a ttretch like this --sold every where"' in
very apt to tear.)
Now, I can safely sav. without any hesitation.
There's none like ' BKOWNING'S EXCELSluK"
in this enlightened nation.
Skilled chemists have not found a Coffee frotn any
store
Pos?cs.-ing tho same ingre licnts as '-Browning's
Excelsior."
Nor is there any one. in or out of the Coffee trade.
Who knows the article from which Browning's
FIscclsior's made.
I'm told its made from barley, rye, wheat, bean?,
and peas ;
Name a thousand other things but the RIGHT
ONE if you please.
But with the coffee-men I will not held contestin
F'or the many, many things they say too numer
ous to mention.
Whilst they're engaged in running ruuuJ from
store to store
To learn the current wholesale price of "lirown
ing's Excelsior."
Soine who know my Coffee gives perfect satisfss
tion.
Have formed a plan by which they hope to eu
a quick reaction.
The case 'tis with a few ; no doubt 'twill be more
To name their Coffee after mine. (BllOVNINt'S)
EXCELSIOK.
Some say their's the only brand that will stand
a ready test .
Now, try a little of them all see which you lis
the best;
Three y-ers have past away since first Isold a store:
Never have I in your paper advertised before;
Nor would I now, or ever consent to publi.-a more.
If like some used by "everybody,'' -sold every
where," in '-every s.tore." ,
A trade like this I do not wish ; the orders l
could not fill ;
The factory all Jersey's land would take-Iev
not a foot to till.
My trade is not so very large; still I think I nT
my share; . v
But, reader, you must rest asfurcd. tis -
