Passing events seem to indicate, that the Republican majority, at the approaching State elections, will be even greater than they have been iuthe pa.st. In iSGothe Copper heals did not carry a single Northern State, and, we opine, will west with no Letter success now. The great mass of the Amer ican people are true and loyal to the Govern ment, and hence cannot consistently support those who have been in sympathy with the traitors of the South during our recent strug gle fjr National supremacy, and who still bow to th-3 bek of those who endeavored to break up the Union. Their doom is pro nounced. Defeat stares them in the face ou every side, and they arc casting about for some "make-shift" to keep up the courage of their deluded followers. But nothing seems to avail them ; for even soldiers,when they yield to the entreaties of Copperhead ism and become its standard-bearers, are "laid out stiff ami cold" as was instancr-d by the defeat of Gen. McCIellan, Gen. Slo cum, Col. Davis and Lieut-Col. Linton. These men, alt rough they helped to fight the battles of the Union, were slain and sacrificed upon the political altar of copper head skepticism and idolatry. Their brave deeds did not save them from the popular condemnation, because they had allied them selves to the enemies of the Government. Their companions-in-aruis would not reeog uize them as their former bravo comrade.-, by voting for them, for the reasou that their associations were wrongly chosen because they lodged in the camps of the sympathis ers with treason. And bo it will ever be with those who accept the leadership and embrace the odium of the party that has been so signally and emphatically condemn ed by the people. V'et,notith.ta!iding their past experience, (he leaders of the copper head party anticipate future success. How ? On account of the purity and correctness of their principles? No! But in the hope of a dcvision in the Republican ranks. Will they realize that hope? Nay; that hope is only a "will-o'-the-wisp" that will leave them in a greater bewilderment and obscurity than ever. Poor, indeed, must be the prin ciples ot a party that has no other prospect of success than a division in the ranks of its opponents that has no positive quality within itself to commend it to the favor of the American people. Such a party de serves defeat deserves to die. Yea, the Copperhead parti' is dead, and will never rise again as a national organization, unless the friends of the Union will prove recreant to the great trust imposed upon them by the events of the war, in permitting dissensions to divide their counsels. A Burning "Well. On Saturday, February 3d,a well which was being sunk about eleven miles below Frank lin, and had reached the depth of more than five hundred feet, was left by the workmen during the supper hour, when it suddenly, and without previous indications, commen ced spouting gas furiously. This ignited from the furnace, and in a few moments the derrick, engine house, and all combustible material in the immediate vicinity was con sumed. The gas t-pouts out apparently pure, unaccompanied by either salt water or oil. The flame is steady, and upwards of fifty feet in height, aud twenty-live feet in diameter. The well was not tubed, and the force of the gas is so great as to successfully resist thus far all attempts to extinguish it. It is feaid that the light is distinctly per ceived at Clarion, Franklin and Reno, dur ing the night time. A person who visited the well last week, says in a letter: "The ground around the well for nearly five hun dred feet in every direction has been thor oughly baked by the heat. The trees are budding, and some havo actually put forth leaver In some places the grass has grown two inches high, forcibly reminding one of cummer on a small scale. The flames rise to a height of sixty feet, sometimes higher, lighting up the hills and valleys for miles around. At times it burns fiercer than usual, breaking and roaring and threatening to burst the earth and engulph all within its reach, and forming a scene beautifully grand and sublime." The Election is Lancaster. John II. Shirk, Republican, was, on Saturday, Feb , ruary 10th, elected to the Ilouse of Repre sentatives to fill the vancancy occasioned by the death of Hon. D. Wood, of Lancaster county. The Copperheads made no nomi nation, but in a number of districts they voted for a negro for Assembly. What a consistent set these Cops ar! While they keep up a huge ery about a "White Man's Government," they vote for a negro to rep resent them in the Pennsylvania Legida wr. Ahem ! Eepeal of State Tax on Eeal Estate. The Pennsylvania Legislature passed an act, repealing the State tax on Real Estate in this Commonwealth. On the bill com ing up, Serfator Connell said," We will this day send a Valentine to every tax payer of Pennsylvania, releasing him from the pay ment of State taxes on real estate," and they fulfilled that promise. Both houses passed the bill, which reads as follows : Section 1. Beit enacted Ly the Senate and House of J!eprtseutafices ,f the Cm mamrealth of Pennsylvania in General As semhlti met, and it . lurrhu enacted ly the authority of thesauie, That from and after the passage of this act, it shall be the duty of the cashier of every bank in this Com monwealth, whether incorporated under the laws of this State or of the United States, to collect, annually, from every stockholder of aid bank, a tax of one per centum upon the par value of the stock held by said stockholder, and to pay the same into the Suite treasury on or before the first day of July in every year hereafter, commencing on the first dav of Juiv, Anno Domini one thousand eisfht hundred and sixty-six, and the said .stock shall be exempt from all oth er taxation under the laws ot this Common wealth.

Sec. 4. From and after the passage of this act, the real estate of this Common wealth shall be exempt from taxation for State purposes: Provided, That this sec tion shall not be construed to relieve the said real e.-tate from the payment of any taxes due the Commonwealth at the date of the passage of this act. The Concord Bank Eobbery How the Stolen Bonds were Eecovered. Full details of the modus operandi of the detectives in securing the arrest of the rob bers of the Concord bank and their plunder, are published. It appears that after many unsuccessful efforts of Messrs. Keath and Hunt, Boston detectives, which induced trips to Philadelphia and other places, in which their efforts were aided by New York detectives, they finally discovered some of the missing bonds on a man to New York, who was willing to sell them. Through his confession and information, on January 22d, the detectives proceeded to Camden, oppo site Philadelphia, and thence during the night, nineteen miles down the shore of the Delaware, to a cottage Dear the village of Paulsboro, were they captured the chief robber, a notoiious counterfeiter, named Langdou W. Moore, alias "Charley Adams," who was taken in New York and committed on a charge ot tmrsrlarv. Nothing was found on Moore. The house was thorough ly searched, and the curtains pulled down, carpets ripped and desks broken open, beds examined wainscoting and the flooring of all the rooms examined, but the search was unsuccessful. On digging under th stable, however, they found a glass jar hermetrieal- ly sealed, a lew Jeet below the suriace water gate on the bank of the river, below hi.u'h water mark, where they found a tin box contaimng seventy-nine thousand dollars in bonds. All the bonds have been identified by the bank officers, and altogether, 11M',.- 131 ot the stolen property was recovered and given over to the bank officers. Moored in prison in New York awaiting a requisi tion from the authorities of Massachusetts. B" statements made by Moore, he and an ac complice watched eight months for an op portunity to rob the bank, and succeeded in doing so in broad -daylight by usimr false keys, while the cashier was absent at din ner. Moore's accomplice was JIarrv How ard, alias "English Harry," who doubtless lett the country. Trouble at a Raffle. The Congrega tional church at East Weymouth, Massa chusetts, had a fair recently, at which they persisted in raffling, against the remonstran ces of the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Lane, lie therefore sent is his resignation. The cnurch justined lam in his remonstrances and expressed their sense of the value of his labors. An ecclesiastical council, however, concluded that it was best for him to resign, as his usefulness had been impaired, by the matter is dispute. The Boston Journal, from which we condense the above, says : "The practice of raffling at church fairs has greatly increased during the past three or lour years, until in sonic fairs which have been held in this city it has been almost im possible to buy any article of value unless the purchaser took a share in the lottery by which it was sold. It is time that a stop was put to this growing evil. Legal Suasion. At the recent session of court in Columbia county, Ohio, some half dozen or more grogseliers, who are im pervious to the force of moral suasion, have been made to feel the weight of the legal sort somewhat effectively. The court the powers that l-e there put them through to the tune of fines of fifty dollars with trim mings in the shape of costs ; and some of them have been promoted to board with the sheriff, living without grog but put on rations of bread and water. Tlie crand jury found bills against a dozen or moro for violating the law in the sam way. CONGRESSIONAL PBOCEEDIffGS. In the Senate, on February 13th. Mr. Morgan presented the credentials of Lewis E.

A bill, to the following effect, has been rea l in place : That all persons taking pos session of logs, .shingles, or lumber of any kind found adrift in the Schuylkill or in the Delaware, having drifted out of the Schuyl kill, and who shall secure the same iu a sate and convenient place, and in all respects comply with the regulations hereinafter men tioned in this act, shall be entitled to demand and receive ot the owner, as full compensa tion for their labor, expense, and damages, the following sums. Fur single logs, 15 cents; for sections ot rafts containing l-etweeeu ten and twenty lugs, 10 cents tor each log; tor sections ot raits containing more than twen ty logs, 8 cents for each log; and for a whole rait of logs $."; for shingles, 30 cents a thou sand, aud for lumber in amounts not exceed ing five thousand feet, u0 cents per thou sand: ami for amounts exceeding five thou sand f'ct, 50 cents a thousand feet. The persons capturing the logs, shingles, or lum ber, are to si cure them in a safe place with in thirty yards of the river bank, and to keep them tor thirty days unless sooner claimed, aud if they are not claimed then, thee are to be advertised. It not then claimed they are to be sold at public auction. and the proceeds are to remain in the bands ot the sei.er for one year, subject to the order of the o,vuc!'. The fourth section provides that any person who .-ball stake up any logs. shingles, or lum ber while adiiit, or that may be lodged up on the shores or islands of the said rivers in case of accident or flood, and shall convey the .same to a greater distance than thirtv yards from the bank, or who shall tail to ad vertise the same, or who shall appropriate ilie same to his own use, shall be liable, :i conviction, to pav a line oi' three limes the value, or undergo an imprisonment of not exceeding one year or both. This bill is an important one to lumbermen. The trouble has been that iu ease of a ireshet board yards are swept away, and every man who cap tures a piece of floating lumber thinks lie has a right to it. It is true a writ of reple vin will cause its return, but by the time the matter is tried in court the lumber is fre quently rotten. A bill has been offered which provides.that "Whenever in any last will or testament which shall be admitted to probate after he passage of this act, an estate or estates shall be devised to one or more for or during t he term of his, her or their life or lives, with the remainder to his, her or their heir or heirs, or child or children, or deeendent or decendants, or issue, the estate of the first taker or takers shall be deemed and construed to bean estate tlx life in each person or per sons, and the words of the devise over shall be deemed and construed to be words of pur chase, ami not of limitation." It is understood that at an early day the resolution.5 offered some time since by Mr. Bigham having rerlerence to the Atlantic and Grent Western, Pittsburg and Connellsviiie, and other railroad companies, will be brought up for consideration. It is not at all proba ble that they will be adopted, but a lengthy and interesting discussion will take place up on them, some of the most able speaker.: on both sides of the question having determin ed to address t he Senate upon them. Among tl e many bills which have been read in place aud referred to the Committee on Divorces, is one offered by Mr. Wood ward, of Erie, which provides that in all cas es of divorce by the wife against the hus band, hereafter decided or adjudicated, if the U x-rce ism favor oi the complainant the court is authorized to decree the payment by defendant, to plaintff's attorney, of such amount as it mny think a reasonable com pensation for his services. The members of both branches of the Leg islature are working energeticly, and when the day ot adjournment arrives all the ne cessary legislation will have been attended to. The Sen-'te will probably concur with the joint resolution adopted by the House to ad journ on the 2'.'th of March. Both Houses now convene daily at ten o'clock, and not uiifrequently afternoon and evening sessions are held, at w hich many important bills are considered. The supplement to the act incorporating the Susquchannaand Hudson Railroad Com pany allows that corporation to commence the construction ot their road at either ter minal point on or near the Susquehanna riv er, in Luzerne county, or the Deleware river, in Wayne countv; and any company owning a connecting road, or desiring to make a con tinuous line.can subscribe to the capital stock.

THE KIDNEYS. The kidneys are two in number, sit uated at the upper part of the loin, surrounded by fat, and consisting of three parts, viz: the anterior, the in terior, and the exterior. The anterior absorbs; the interior consists of tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for th urine, and convey it to the exterior ; the exterior is a conductor also, terminating in a single tube and called the ureter; the ureters are connecuj with the bladder. The bladder is composed of various coverings or tissues, divided into parts, viz : tht upper, the lower, the nervous, and the mucouj The upper expels, the lower retains. Many havo a desire to urinate without the ability, otheis u. rinate without the ability to retain. This ft, quently occurs in children.

Helmbold, Druggist: Dear Sir : I have been a suffer er, for upwards of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kidney affections, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but littlo relief. Having seen your preparations ex tensively advertised, 1 consulted with my family physician in regard to using your Extract Buchu. I did this because I used all kinda of advertised remedies, and had found them worthless, and eomt quite injurious ; iu fact, I despaired of ever getting well, and determin ed to use no remedies unless I knew of the iu gra dients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy As you advertised that it was compos ed of BL'cnn, ccbkbs, and jlwiper berries, it oc curred to me and my physician as an exeelleLl combination, and, with his advice, after an exam ination of the article, and consulting again witi the druggist. 1 conculuded to try it. I ooiaiuen ced its uso about eight months ago, at which time I was confined to my room. From the first bot tle I was astonished and gratified at the benefi cial effect, and arter using it three weeks, was a ble to walk out. I felt much like writing you a full statement of my case at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, aod therefore concluded to defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be of greater value to you wnd more satisfactory to to I am now able to report that a cure is effected after using the remedy for five months. I have not used any now for threo months, and feel as well in all respects as I ever did. Vour Buchn being devoid of any nnpleanant taste anu odor, a nice tonie and invigorator of tbe system. I do not mean to be without it whei ever occasion may require its use in such affections M. M'CORMICB.. Should any doubt Mr. McCormick's statement, he refers to the following gentlemen : Hon. Wm.
