Kit Slim Again.
Our flat-headed cotemporary up street,
last week, inflicted a most intolerable
bora upon his readers, in the shape of
an article bearing the caption of "He con
demns himself." It was prepared expressly
for our benefit, and we venture the asser
tion, that those who had the moral cour
age to wade through the slime and filth
which it contained, will agree with us in
saying that it was very like its author
rather a dirty curiosity. It has not been
since the commencement of our editorial
labors alone that we have learned how this
fellow will besmear and begrime himself,
iu his uiaddeued efforts to tarnish the fair
fame and character of other?. We have
long watched his disreputable course. Mis
erable himself, he wants company, and
even though he be shallow in the brain
ho will always go ihep in the mud, to get
it. He is welcome to all the success
which he obtains, but we incline to the
btlief that it is rather indifferent. Wc
are not disappointed in the fellow. If we
could gather "grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles," then indeed we might occasional
ly expect something at least decent from
DlZZAHD. But so longas the order of na-
ture, that "like shall beget like," remains
t . . . j i !
unrevcrseu, it were vain to ieeu ourselves
upon such idle expectations.
We have taken occasion, as our readers
well know, to rap our neighbor over, the
shins,' for his milk and water, nam by pam
by course in relation to matters connected
with the Southern Rebellion. We, of
course, never expected much from him in
such an emergency, but had he done the
best he could, we would have been content.
But he has from the first exhibited the
cloven foot, and bawled out against Mr.
Lincoln's Administration with all the vehe
mence which usually characterizes the ju
venile -members of the bovine family. And
now that we have taken him to task for
his silent sympathy with the superlative
rebel and dastardly rascal, Breckinridge,
he squirms like a lizard, and vainly en
deavors to wriggle out of the strong net
in which we have caught him. He has
writhed aid twisted and wrested in a
mauner which might well attract the fa
vorable notice of Barxum. If that enter
prising gentleman should feel inc'incd to
invest in him, he might do well to exhibit
him as '"the most violent contortionist of
ancient or modern times."
Instead of coming up manfully and de
nouncing Breckinridge as an enemy to
his country, our pliable neighbor under
takes to justify himself for being his
friend. Studiously avoiding, as usual, to
say one single word against the eagle-eyed
traitor, he proceeds to try us by what he
is pleased to term our own standard of pa
triotism a standard which, by the way,
we respectfully disclaim. lie admits his
having voted for Breckinridge, but al
leges that he heard us say in one of our
stump speeches hist year, that wc had
once voted for John Tyler, who is now
a rauk secessionist. The allegation is en
tirely false. Wc never made any suh
statement.
The deduction which he then make.-' s
as follows, to wit : that if he, Dizzard,
be a secessionist, by reason of his having
voted for Breckinridge, so also ice must
be a secessionist, inasmuch as wc voted
for Tyler. A very profound and won
derful argument, to be sure, and entirely
worthy of the source; but somehow or
other it strikes us it doesn't exactly fit
the case. It reminds us most forcibly of
the old gentleman who once heard a funer
al sermon preached, and who pronounced it
admirably done, too, but said it didn't al
together apply, as nobody happeued to be
dead at the time.
We didn't "happen" to vote for-Jonx
Tyler. When he and Gen. Harrison
were candidates, wc were residing in the
state of Ohio, and wc had not acquired
such a residence there as entitled us to vote.
And this effectually disposes of the very
elaborate argument of our addle pated
neighbor, built upon fct& manufactured
y himsrlf for the occasion.
Harrison and Tyleu were elected.
We always had the highest opinion of the
brave old hero of Tippecanoe. But under
a wise but afflicting dispensation of Prov
idence he was permitted to occupy the
presidential chair only a few short days.
Tyler was his constitutional successor.
He was but little known, altogether un
tried, and was never expected to occupy
that position. It is well known how he
turned out, and it i3 needless to dwell long
on the painful history. The nation had
been grievously distressed under Loco-Fo-cp
misrule, and its instincts had been
roused for self-preservation. TI13 people
had won a glorious triumph. But treason
rank treason snatched victory from the
victors. The man who succeeded as prin
cipal by the death of the Chief, was not
the man he was taken for, but was utterly
opposed to the irrcat and leading principles
of the party which had raised him to pow
er, lie was scarcely warm in his seat, as
successor ot the Fallen, until he proved
himself a traitor of the deepest dye a
traitor to the people who had confided in
him. Such a man is always "fit for trea
son, stratagem and spoils," and it is no
wonder he is one of the great apostles of
Secession.
Wc have thus briefly given our opinion
of Tyler. And wc have said more against
him in one short paragraph than the ro
mancing dolt who charges us with voting
for him dared, or probably ever will dare,
to say against the ingratc and perjured
Breckinridge. More than twenty-one
years have elapsed since Tyler was elect
ed, and after his term expired he was nev
er again prominently before the people of
the nation. Breckinridge 7ias been
prominent, and it is but little more than
a year since he was seeking the highest
office in the gift of the people. Tyler
has been bad enough, but Breckinridge
has been worse. When Tyler became
President he betrayed his party. If
Breckinridge had becrt elected he would
have betrayed the people. Wc might for
give our supercilious neighbor for voting
for this man, even, so late as last fall, if he
would only manifest a spirit of contrition
and openly confess the error of his way.
But as he has hardened his heart and has
the sheer impudence to attempt his justi
fication to say nothing of the secret sym
pathy he feels for his old-time friend he
deserves no quarter, and shall have none.
"Ephraim is joined -to his idols," but we
dou't intend to "let him alone."
Ttiouglits on the War.
If the convulsions which now disturb
this great country can be compared to an
earthquake, it would more properly be
with one of those stupendous disruptions
of the underlying crust of the earth, in
primeval times, when the solid granite was
upheaved in the almost perpendicular
masse?, when the deep foundations of the
very lowest stratum were displaced. Great
principles are called in question, departed
from or recklessly and ruthlessly violated.
Disregard for law and order, contempt for
authority, love of change and excitement,
the bartering away of sentiment and prin
ciple for pleasure or for gain these are
the prolific sources of secession and mis
rule. In the estimation of the millions
now in arm? against the best and freest
of all constitutional governments, and t tic
most reasonable and equitable of all law's,
the mildest and most excellent executive
that ever ruled would be regarded as a
usurper and a tyrant, if he did not enter
tain all their remonstrances and govern
himself implicitly according to their good
pleasure. The contest in which this great
country is now engaged, is so very extra
ordinary that the records of history thro'
all the ages might be searched in vain for
anything like a parallel. Where one year
ago, the earth smiled back to the propitious
heavens, in gratitude not only foi its fruits
poured out profusely for the support of
man, but whore the landscape rejoiced in
those artificial beauties which the hand of
taste can bestow only where a prosperous
commerce can dispose to advantage of a
large surplus, thcro embattled hosts are
now found arrayed against eaeh other,
army agaiust army. And such armies as
never trod the soil before such hosts as
have never been numbered since all Eu
rope was stirred through all its borders.
Such mighty effects must have potential
causes.
What arc they ? It -rculd be curious
to collect in one large volume all the va
rious causes which have been enumerated.
No one of the causes alleged could justify
it. All of them added together could not
do it. And a multiple of the whole would
fall equally short. It is a most unnatural
and causeless war, brought about, in the
language of the noble and patriotic John
J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, by the dis
unionists of the South. -The firm and
fixed resolve of leadingsouthcrn politicians,
formed more than thirty years ago, that
they would never submit to the central
government, when an uncompromising
Northern man should be placed at its head.
They.distinctly foresaw that by reason of
the rapid increase of the Northwest, the
sceptre of power would sooner or later
pass out of their hands. And then and
there they formed a resolution, from which
they have uever for one moment swerved,
that rather than submit to it. they would
dash the Federal Government in pieces.
At the convention at Chaileston, it was a
foregone conclusion. Upon the elevation
of Mr. Lincoln to the presidency it was an
open resolve. And, by the attack upon
Sumter, proclamation was made to the
whole world, that the decision of the
question was transferred from the ballot
box to the stern and awful arbitrament of
arms, and so they are following it up. The
violence of prejudice against the North
has been increasing from year to year,
until its influence had become so blinding
that no amount of evidence could satisfy
the South that the voters in the free states
were in every way disposed to abide by
all the safeguards of the Federal Constitu
tion, and desired nothing more than that
all differences should be settled by the
ballot-box, and by legal and pacific meth
ods. Thus the South, led on in their mad
career by Davis, Beauregard, Breck,
and many other vile traitors, resolved to
strike down the American flag and demol
ish the fair fabric of our Union, by resor
ting to arms, and proclaiming themselves
hostile to the government that has been
their only protection. The booming of
cannon at Sumter awakened the North to
their true position, and thousands respond
ed to the call of the Piesidcnt and flocked
to the seat of war to defend our National
Capital which was threatened by the inva
ding foe. Njvcr were such mighty results
staked upon the wager of battle. Our
fathers struggled for an experiment; wc
f r hopes realized and prophecies fulfilled.
The wh"le world is watching our course.
Every impulse of patriotism, every love of
country, every hope of humanity, is call
ing upon us, and, thank God, at no time
since the beginning of the war has the
prospect of our national cause appeared so
bright as it now appears. Our tieasury is
full, our vast army is ripening for offensive
action, our navy has just struck a telling
blow in the ollensive, our foes, through
the disguise of unconquerable gasconade,
arc giving signs that all is lost, amjvictp
ry everywhere is hovering eagerly above
our banners. The nation has collected
its strength, whilst the strength of the
rebellion is broken and exhausted. Never
during the conflict has there been a period
less calculated than the present to suggest
a resort to extreme and desperate measures.
Never has there been .a period more fitted
than the present to awaken confidence in
the perfect ability of the nation to achieve
success in the ordinary course of warfare.
Surely if our beloved country survive the
malignity of her assailauts in this strife,
and we cherish an abiding faith that she
will, she will become the pride and mas
terpiece of the human race.

SAYS THE ILtrrishurtj Telvijrnpli ; Pe
titions are in circulation in the western,
middle ami cast in states, to which hun
dreds of thousands of names arc being
subscribed by their rightful owners asking
Congress at its next session, to abolih
slavery in every locality where tins fed
eral forces are resisted. 'J lie petitioners
assert that Congress can abolish slavery
as a war right, and justified by this policy,
the immediate emancipation of the slaves
ot rebel masters is claimed as "one of the
J most effective measures for putting down
this slave holder d rebellion. 1 he fact
that these petitions arc in circulation in
the loyal states, and the fact, too, that
they arc daily receiving the endorsement
of the people wlu represent the intelli
gence, the labor and tho wealth ot those
commonwealths, is one of the significant
tendencies of the effect of this struggle oil
the free men of the free states. All ef
forts to crush this feeling must prove
abortive, and while it scarcely assumes a
practical shape in demanding the imme
diate emancipation of slave property, its
present efforts cannot fail to cripple sla
very so as to render its attractions, influ
ence and rule perfectly insignificant and
p'owerless hereafter. These petitions will
pour into Congress as our armies have
poured into Washington city, fuli of force
and resistless majesty to prove to the min
ions of slavery that the voice of a free
people cannot be stifled when liberty needs
an advocate and defender.

Millville Borough was erected under
the provisions of the general Borough
Law, in 185S, and derives its name from
its principal attraction, the Koliinir Mill
of the Cambria Iron Company. I have a
draft or diagram of it before me, from the
hand of that correct aud careful artist,
John Brawley, Esq.
Its line commences in the middle of the
Conemaugh Branch of Conemangh River,
thirty perches above the aqueduct; thence
crossing the Pennsylvania Bail Ttoad, and
shortly after a rivulet, it passes North of
Johnstown Furnace, so as to include it,
and follows the brow of the hill, miming
nearly parallel with the river, for upwards
of a tnilo This line crosses Ilinxron's
Bun, which rises in Jackson Township,
in the middle of a large island. From a
, point a short distance AVet of this stream,
the line turns, nearly at right angles, and
runs to the centre of Conomaugh river.
Thence by a line following the courses of
the stream to the junction with Stony
Creek, and following the bed of the Con
omaugh Branch to the pkco of begin
ning. The number of houses is about 250 ;
the population over 1,000. It was erected
out of a portion of Taylor Township, and
dwelling-houses principally occupy that
portion of the Borough between the Con
emaugh and the Pennsylvania Canal,
which passes through the bolc length of
the village.
This town lies admirably for business,
and has almost unequalled advantages for
manufacturing Its whole front lyingupon
the Conemaugh, it has a moiety of one
aqueduct, one county bridge, the railroad
bridge, and a toil bridge; while it is tra
versed by the Pennsylvania Bail Road,
the Pennsylvania Canal, and public roads
to Fbensburg and Armagh. An inex
haustible bed of iron lies in the hill with
in the Borough limits, and bituminous
coal of the best quality is abuudaut iu
the immediate neighborhood.
The Station House and Depot of the
Pennsylvania Bail Road Company for
Johnstown and the surrounding country
are -within MiUvillc Borough, a station
furnishing more travel and shipping,
more merchandise and produce than anv
between Pittsburg and llarrisburg.
On the opj ossitc side of the Canal from

Johnstown Furnace i.?a line structure and
of great capacity, but has not been work
ed, or ritii, for several years.
But the principal attraction of Millville
Borough, and hieh overs-hadows every
thing else, is the Works of the Cambria
Iron Company : Aud as this will requiie
at least a jarute paper, I - shall defer it
