Secret SCIIIIIOI I of Congress
The joint committee on the conduct of the
war have agreed upon an amendment to the
joint rules of the two houses, to the effect that,
whenever any member rises in his place, and
states that the Executive wishes Congress to
secretly act on any milker connected with the
war, it shall he the duty of Congress to go in
to secret session and deliberate, and come 143 a
conclusion thereon before adjournment. The
Fpeethes aro to be limited to five minutes each,
and any member found disclosing the proceed
ings shall be expelled.
Ite.,CAPTAIN C. KUHN, arrived here on
'Wednesday, and reports his company in good
health and spirits. Ile is attached to Col.
Coulter's regiment, which has been at Annap
olis for some time. Kuhn's boys were paid
off lately, and he brings a large budget of
letters, none of which, he informs us, contain
less than $35.
Tax co.N Nawsrneuns.—Among (he projects
suggested in Congres for raising revenue to
meet the expenses of the present war, is a
tax on newspapers of say ono cent per copy.
We are quite willing that the Press should be
made bear its share of the puhiic burden, and
yet we aoubr Whether - an impost upon- the
spread of general intelligence among the peo
ple is ono of the best means of raising money.
There are other luxuries, not nearly so bone•
ficial, that should be taxed first.
STATE TREASURER EtEcvedi,—llon. Henry
D. Moore was re-elected State Treasurer on

MeGreallt 56. On the third ballot Moore had

DEATU or JOUN TYLER. —The arch-traitor,
John Tyler, es-President of tho.3:nited,States
is dead. He eipired at Richmond, Va., on
the night of Friday, January 17th. Not many
are liked by to mourn his loss. He was one
of the miserable conspirators that forced Vir
ginia, out of the union, after the recorded
Vote of her people clearly showed their desire
to remain in it. Ile sat in the Peace Congress
at Washington last March, and there made a
shallow pretense ye for the Union, at the
same time airuita at heart, and in the plot
already matured, foethe seizure of the liar
per's Ferry armory and the Norfolk Ni.vy
Yard. As soon as he could safely go over to
the rebels, he did so, and has since revelled
in the lowest depths of infamy. Ile was born
in Charles County, Virginia, in 1790, so
that he was in his seventy-second year when
he - Flied. He became a politician, like all
members of First Families in Virginia, at an
early age. At 21 he was sent to the Legisla
ture and at 26 to Congress. In 1826 he was
elected Governor of the State, and in 1828 was
made United States Senator. He resigned in
consequence of a quarrel with President Jack
son. In 1840 the Whig Convention at liar
risburg, that nominated Harrison for Presi
dent, nominated Tyler for Vice Presidentand,
thliy were elected. In 1841, Harrison dying
Tyler became President, and he took an early
opportunity to betray the Whig party, and
disgust the nation at large.
Since 1845, John Tyler has not held any
public office, so hearty has been the public
scorn of the man throughout the nation. In
March 1861 he became a traitor to his coun
try, and on the night of January 17th 1862,
he died. Ito leaves a widow and a number of
children, by two marriages, to inherit his
name and shame.
To DETECT EXPLOSIVE. COAL OlL.—Many.
disasters being already occasioned from the
use of explosive coal oil, the following direc•
tions for ascertaining whether or not the
article is explosive, may not be out of place:
Pour a small quanity into a saucer, and
bring a lighted match slowly down to it. If
explosive, the oil will blaze and flash almost
like powder, if not explosive, it will not burn
at all. The latter only is safe for use.
VS...Tim N. Y. Tribune very truthfully says
that the people who for generations are to pay
heavy taxes on nearly everything they eat,
drink or wear—on all they save and all they
spend--to pay the cost of putting down this
atrocious rebellion, are certain to bold to a•
rigorous accountability all who make money
rapidly out of the public misfortunes, with all
who aid them to do so. It is hard enough to
be squalidly poor, but he who shall inheiit
wealth made through contracts, commissions
or agencies ont . tif this war, will he oven less
a subject, of envy than he who makes a coarse
living by-mauling-rails at adollar a -hundred
or chopping knotty"fire-wookat fifty cents a

DICItIOGRACy AND THE COUNTRY.
— We have endeavored, ever since the pres
ent southern rebellion assumed ti permanent
shape, to say as little to raise political preju
dices as possible. We saw loyal citizens of
every party rushing to their country's succor
and pouring out their blood In defenco.of our
thee - honored flag. And, although satisfied
that our party and principles were those that
would stand the test, and were best calculated
to uphold the government in peace or war, we
felt disposed, at present, to sink party for the
sake of our country. We see, however, that
this feeling is not reciprocated on the other
side of tho house. Many of the ttemooratic
papers are teeming with disparaging articles
against the present administration and apos
trophes to democracy; and with unblushing
confidence assert that if the Union is' saved at
all, it must be saved by the Democracy. It
would be unjust we conceive, therefore, to the
Republican party, to allow such an impudent
assertion to pass without a word of comment.
Who, we ask, is accountaiJle tOr this stu
pendous, gigantic rebellion ? Who was in
power when it was concocted and hatched in
to life ? What party was it ? Was it not the
Democratic party ? Who is so stupid as not
to know this? James Buchanan occupied the
Presidential chair, and whilst the vipers of
secession entrenched themselves around the
fair fabric of our liberties, he nodded sympa
thy and acquiescence. Ile was n model democrat I
Ile perfidiously, or with imbecile fear, relin
quished into rebel hands the whole power of
the government. Yet he was a democrat—a
7nodel democrat L..,AITJa o .was . the Secretary . of
the Treasury at the time, and lent his aid to
rob and plunder in aid of secession ? Was it
not a democrat ? And who was the Secretary
of War ? The infamous Floyd—another dern•
ocrat, who stole our arm! and transferred '
them to southern arsenals, and sold-thousands
of others at one third their value to southern
traitors an conspirators? Shall we enlarge
the list to show that the conspiracy was not
alone confined to southern democratic traitors.
The Secretary of the Navy showed by his acts
—scattering our vessels to the four winds, at
the moment when they were needed at home,
and placing such as were worth anything at
conVenient points to be either seized or burnt I
by the rebels—that he was a traitor at heart.
tet lie was a democrat—a full blooded north
ern democrat! Still we are told that if the
country is to be saved it must be saved by the
democracy ! 0, shame, where is thy blush ?
Why, if the Republican party had been in
power when all this stupendous iniquity had
been concocted and put in motion -if a Re
publican administration had been the guilty
cause of preventing an instantaneous crush:
log out the - first symptoms of this treason, WC
should hide our heads in dust and ashes, and
never again speak the name, but to express
our humiliation and shame, that we had borne
the title, and assisted in sustaining it. And
yet there are men of democratic sympathies, in
the face of all the facts adduced, and all these
damning evidences of the traitorious conduct
of the reptiles who were reared and flourished
tinder democratic influences,—there are men,
we say, who have the folly to assert that jibe
country is to he savgd it lutist be saved by the
Democracy ! Vroni such a salvation " good
Lord deliver us."

public favor every hour. Secretary Stanton

the fiendishness of their hate and in the tur

evil genius of the institution from which it

BLEDDINO ON THE PAtEINENTS
Within the past two weeks the sntlw-and ice
on the pavements has afforded an igesistable
temptation to 'juveniles witifidedsiv In some
places :this is not partioulatly agreeable-
Itaienients wore made le-walk (mi. but-after
they have . 'inien used as coasting gronnds for
sleds, they nro in for too slippery a condition
to be trod by such "sinners" as are obliged to
- -
use them. Wherever there is a slight grade,
there "Young America" congregate, and soon
pedestrians on'th at sidewalk find that in tak
ing two steps they lose one. The ladies espe
cially Object decidedly to be forced, not only
to make uncertain speed and moves of doubt
Tulness, but oleo to be compelled to quickly
dodge to , one sidd to avoid a sled freighted
with ungallant boys. It is proper, however,
that tbe boys should_ coast, and the.objections
to their doing so - can readily be removed if
they will only select some of the many eligi
ble places for that amusement which our town
and suburbs afford. WO. know for we Lave

PATENT UNFERMENTED AERATED
BREA.D.—We have received from a friend
a sample of unfermented bread, manufactured
b,y VAN. &tiro. & Co., corner of Buttonwood
and Broad Sts , Phifadelphia. This bread we
consider superior, 'both in taste and - pally,
to that made by any othorprocess.: It ismade
light and spongy, 'without yeast, alkelies, or
bakink powders, 9k9my..deseriptiOn.___lt rtav_r t .
er sours, 'or dries ep, as 'broad ,made with
'yeast doosi--- . We hirreeaton this broad. when
it was tifteen days old, and it was ;neither as
•
-dry er ae hcitkaiirthe
.ordinary baker's hread
at ono day.'. ~The difference . iiotlyeert thisand
the 'old ; process can be stated inn-a lbw words. ,
The point aimed at in making bread, is to
lighten it:;: -therel!,y . repdoring it `more easily
Mitt' n dine TABLE
digested than when sad and heavy: this obs
jeet is attained in the old procesi by g'eneraJ
Ling otirlicthie acid gas •, either by the fermen.'
tation of the yeast mixed with the flour or by
the deetunposition of bicarbonate .of soda oa
other baking itofrders of eirdilar •oharaelett—
This gas being retained by the tough, elastid
glut on.of :the dctugh, puffs it up, Or as tho bay
Lers say, " rates" the br:ead.
The objection to all Ohm modes of lighten
ing bread, is that we are obliged in eating it
to swallow with it all the debris of the materN
al for generating the gas, just as in the old
process of making soda•water by the, nee of
soda powders, we were compelled to Swallow
a oonsiderabjc quantity Of the salt of soda;
produced lly be combination which made the
foam. Another objection to the present pro
cess of fermentation is the fact that a portion
of the gas is generated at the expense of thti
starch and Sugar of the flour, and thus a por
tion of the nutriment is destroyed. There are
also other chemical changes produced in the
flour which chemists say render it less easily;
digested, Now by this new process, all of
these Objections ate obviated by Simply gen
erating the dartfonie acid gas, separately, and
forcing it into the dotigh, just as seda-Watef
is now made by cornpressing tint pure gas in •
to the water, instead of generating it in the
.glass, as formerly: The improvement is iden
tical in both processes, and we hope, beford
long, will become equally general. It will lie
seen at once that bread made under the nevi ,
plan, must be more wholesome, and nutritious
than made by the present one. The only ob
stacle that we can sec to its universal adop
tion, is that the machinery necessary to make
it, is too expen.ivo for private families. This
tliThenlty, we hope; will yet be overcome, and
our town and county suppled with this im
portlint improvement in the " stair of life."

—The concerts at lllnieufs Hall, on Friday
and Saturday evenings despite the inclemency
of the weather, were attended by as brilliant
audiences as ever have been seen in the
Hall. Madame Bishop was greeted on her
first appearance with a warm welcome, and
her subsequent performances fully justified
the Sharaeter Of the reception, and she con
tinued to advance in the favor of the audience
until the completion Of the programmes. She
has lost none of the richness and elasticity of
her youth, and combines the power of Parodi
with the liquid tones of „liinny Lind, and the
bird-like carolings of Adelina Patti. In ad
dition to this wonderful combination, she 'ex—
hibits a superior conception and felicitous
expression of (lid sentiment, however, deep,
lofty or humorous, of the great variety of
songs she sings.
"Oft, in the stilly night," and "the Beggar
idthe with " the Harp that once
4 111r - O' Tare's Halls," and "John Anderson, toy
Jo;" in the second concert., though trite in
deed, were adorned by her faithful, artistic i
and heart-felt renderings, with beauties which
we venture to say few, it' any, of the audiences
had over before recognized in them. The na
tural, child-like and plaintive appeals of the
"Beggar Girl," and in this ballad ; as well as
in the Robin Redbreast," with the most
touching reminiscences of home 'and youth,
fliio incorporated those brilliant passages of
superior execution, which thoroughly exhibit
the perfect command of her powerful and ever
harmoniously melodious voice. Alc. Seguin
With his rich hill baritone Yoido, gives a goodly
promise of attaining. a high position in his
profession, His singing and acting in the
duett "vartielo Amore," and in the, encore of
"when a little, form we keep" were admire,
bie, and the "'Little fat man," literally con.-
vulsed the audience with laughter. Mr.
Speiss, the pianist, who played the Recoil - Tn.
laments, and performed seven.] ,solott itt the
"Serenade froin Don Pasquale, the
"itt on Itigolotto," and tneitievit a blo "
displayed qualities of the highest. and most
devoted character... Few such treats as this
company affords can ever be offered to our
Community.
