Man PRICE OF COAL.—The New York Tribune says: The Pennsylvania Coal Coin pany made during the year 1861 a profit of 48 per cent. of which 30 per cent. has been distributed. The high price of coal has gone, to a largo degree, into the profits of trans portation companies, and not into the hands of the miners, All coal stocks are held with great firmness, and some of them are much higher." The Tribune also says: ' , The Penn sylvania Coal Company is reported to have closed a contract with the Erio Railway, by Which the latter makes a profit upon the coal it moves equal to the tolls charged upon the Delaware and Hudson Canal, which is fully $3 per ton at the present value of coal." It is high time the Legislatures should look in to the rates . of tolls charged by the transpor tation companies, and so regulate the tolls that the companies shall not be permitted to make such large profits. It is no wonder the people complain of the high price paid for their coal. OIL DISCOVERIES IN WEST VIROINIk.— The papers of West Virginia contain ac counts almost daily &f new discoveries of oil wells. The Clarksburg Telegraph says : "Colonel T. S. Spates and B. F. Shuttle worth, Esq., a few days since opened an old salt well, about three miles from town, which bad been closed for many years. As soon as the earth which closed the tip of the well bad been removed, and the pity. 4 taken out, a large stream of i n gled with petroleum oil, issued from .ndie.ttions iLre that there is ate,ralanee.

Daring this entire week the war news have been of the most gratifying character, Sherman's invincible legions are marching at will through that portion of the Confed eracy which has hitherto baffled our efforts to penetrate. As in Georgia, so in South Carolina, he finds no force that dares attempt to impede his triumphant progress. The State that first began rebellion; that has hitherto escaped the destruction and devastation that have been visited on her sisters in crime, and that proudly boasted of the ability of her Government to resist successfully the advance of the Northern invaders, is overrun and conquered before she has been able to attempt resistance. Her capital is now occupied by the soldiers of the Union; her fields have been devastated to supply the armies of the ,conqueror; and more mortifying to rebel pride than even this, her chief city, the cra dle of treason and the scene of its first tri umph has been captured without the sacrifice of a single life. Defeated at every point, destitute of the means of recruiting their wasted armies and unable to withstand the mighty power of the Government of the Union, the Confederate chieftains hey° been forced to abandon the State that first espotts ed their cause to the mer.•y of Northern con querors: There has been a special vindictiveness manifested throughout the North toward South Carolina, and its conquest has certain !ly very greatly gratified this fooling. But it is not the mere joy of revenge that now tills every heart. Desirous as all loyal men aro to see justice at least meted out to the State that first organized rebellion, there is still a stronger desire to behold indications of the approach of the final overthrow of trea son and the restoration of peace to our dis tracted country. The capture of Charleston and Columbia tuts beyond dispute the fact that the days of the Confederacy are num-, bered. Had its rulers possessed any larger effective force than was necessary for the de fense of Richmond, they would never have permitted Sherman's army to pass unmolest ed from Atlanta to the seaboard and capture three of their most important cities without ,a struggle, „ITothing but, sheer exhaustion prevented their holding Atlanta and making good their boast of cutting off Sherman's communications and destroying his army. Their greatest power for further evil now consists in their ability to hold and defend their own Capital. How long they may be able to maintain even it, after the conqueror of Georgia and the Carolinas transfers his warriors to the soil of Virginia may he esti mated by a comparison of what Richmond will be then, with what. Charleston was when Sherman entered South Carolina. There is a limit to all endurance, and a point beyond which the most stubbornly desperate can tight no longer. We do not under-estimate the bravery the Southerne. s have di ,bayed in fighting treason's battles, nor can we hut:ap preeitite the strength of their attachment even to a cause so unholy as theirs, end we do out yet hope to see them yield and sue fur peace. We fully expect they they will resist even desperately the capture of their last remain ing city, but surely no one will contend that their resistance will be protracted or that it can succet d. Whilst their armies are diminishing by desertion and disease, and depressed with a succession of retreats and disasters, ours are daily becoming stronger by new accessions of men, and are stimulated to still braver deeds by their own brilliant victories. Our leaders now are men in whom the army and the Nation trust. They have gradually ris en to their present positions through a dis play of ability and patriotism which us naught to fear for their success. "No po litical disputes now disturb us or impede our progress in the completion of the great work to which we have devoted all our energies. How then can even the most desponding fail to see that our struggles are almost over and that our Country must and will be saved?

In the shape of advertisements, rebels and sym pathizers in the north have been accustomed to hold correspondence with trators in the south, by sending inquiries and replies back and forth in the Richmond Enquirer and New York Daily News. Some of these ad vortisomonts - treat of a class of subjects in regard to which all intercourse whatever is prohibited by the laws of war. DEa.A little boy, about ten years of age, residing near Hopatcong Lake, Sussex coun ty, N. J., suddenly disappeared a short time since, having gone out with his sled to play. Nothing was seen of him for some time, when his mother, searching after him, came across two legs, bitted off close to the tops of a pair of boots, which wore recognized as those worn by the boy. It is supposed that the little fellow was devoured by a bear or panther, which is said to have been seen in that , neighborhood. DeL.The Internal Revenue for the month of January just past amounted to the enor mous sum 0f,581,076,902 89—'over a million of dollars a day, including Sunday ! And yet confessedly the machinery for collecting this branch of the natson's income is imper fect and undergoing change. Vast as is, that sum of internal revenue, daily and monthly, how light a burden is it to the bus iness of this rich t?.nd vigorous nation. And with what patriotic cheerfulness and acqui escence the People pay this tax to preserve their Natro'n and to maintain Democracy.

Facts About the 7-30s—The Advsn7 tages they offer THEIR ABSOLUTE SECURITY.—NearIy all active credits are now based on Government securities, and banks hold them as the very best and strongest investment they can make. If it were possible to contemplate the finan cial failure of the Government,-no bank would be any safer. If money is loaned on individ ual notes or bond and mortgage, it will be payable in the same currency as the Govern ment pays with, and no better. The Govern ment has never failed to meet its engage ments, and the national debt is a first mort gage upon the whole property of the country. While other stocks fluctuate from ten to fifty, or even a greater per cent., Government stocks are comparatively firm. Their value is fixed and reliable, 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. ITO LIBERAL INTERE6T.—ThOgCNCrai rate of interest is six per cent., payable annually. This is seven and three-tenths, payable semi cinnuatiy. If you lend on mortgage, there roust 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 Son would receive from the Govern me•nt, and less of it. If you invest in this loan, you have no trouble. Any bank or banker will obtain it for you without charge. To each note or bond aro affixed five "cou pons" or interest tickets, due at the expira tion 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 presented at all. Or a coupon thus payable will everywhere be equivalent, when due, to money. If you wish to borrow ninety cents on the dollar upon the notes, you have the highest securi ty in the market to do it 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 the house. IT re CONVERTIBLE into a six per cent. gold-beating bond. At the expiration of throe 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 bond, the principal paya ble i❑ not less than five, nor more than twen ty years from its date, as the Government may elect. These bonds are held at sack premium as to make this privilege now worth two or three per cent. per annum, and adds so much to the interest. Notes of the same class, issued three years ego, are now selling at a rate that fully proves the correctness of this statement. ITS Ex nmaTioN FROM STATE OR INE tOli- VAL TAXATION.—Rut aide from all the ad vantages vve have enuinerated, a .cperial Act Of Congress exrmpr's all b on d s an d T reasury fr,,al haul tufael.ut. Oil the average this exemption is worth nLout lwu per cent• per annum, according to this rate of taxation in various parts of the country. IT IS A NATIONAL SAVINGS 'BANK.— 'Whilo this loan presents great advantages to large capitalists, it offers special inducements to those who wish to make a safe and profit able investment of small savings. It is in every way the best Savings . Bank; for every in .of this kind must solioehow invest its deposits profitably in order to pay inter est and expenses. They will invest largely in this loan, as the be=t investment. But from the gross interest which they receive', they 'oust (Wed largely for the expenses of the Bank. Their usual rate of interest allow ed to depositors is 5 per cent. upon sums over $5!3). The person who invests directly with Government will receive almost 50 per Cent. more. Thus the Mae Who deposits $lO,O in a private '-lavinors . Bank receivOs 5U dollars a year interest; if he deposits the same sum in this National Savings' Bank he receives 73 dollars. For thou-oo who evi-11 to find a safe, convenient, and pro ditaldio means of invest ing the surplus earnings which they have reserved for their old age or for the benefit of their children, there is nothing which presents so many advantages as this Nation al Loom. TIL E If WTI EST MOTI E.--T11,2 war is evi dently drawing to a closo, but while it lints 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 cash in hand thar. on credit. Let us see that its wants are promptly and liberally sati,tled. The Mystery Solved and the Pres sure Assumed We copy the following from the indianap olis Journal, the great paper of the west, respecting J. N's visit to that place. N," the martyr orator is in our city at the present time, ready, as heretofore, to relieve his friends from all the pressure of questions growing out of the war. He rea sons away the prejudices of the people, by showing why all think as they do, thus as suming all the pressure politically, both North and South, upon himself. •'J. N." views the war metaphysically, reasoning from both-stand-points. Holding that Jeff. Davis, acting under the prejudice brought to bear upon him by those with whom he is and has for the last four years been surround ed, Tsdnce he, and the Southern people, from their stand-point, are not in a statelof rebel lion; T ut, from the basis of their reasoning, consider the waean invasion on them. And Abraham Lincoln, similarly situated in refer ence tcrthe pie.. 0e of the North, is justi fied in doingall that he has and is doing with a view to crushing out what to him, from his stand-point, is a rebellion. Before this war ceases and peace again blesses our land, "J. N." says the truth insist be forced upon the minds of the people, by his lifting the , veil of prejudice which now envelope thdm. And tnis he must bring about now by mar tyrdom. In order to make truth triumph -ant over-error,- prdbably trier tyr himself hero by becoming the voluntary inmate of the darkest dungeon or prison. He feels that if the Union is restored, truth must be recognized. "J. N." is the hero of twelve incarcerations, self-inflicted, at his own earnest request. Bolts, bars, dlingebnif, and chains have no terror for him, but, on the contrary, he rejoices and delights in them. The pages of history furnish no sim ilar instance of a man martyring hiiniehf to remove the prejudice from friends who sym pathize with him and the press which roe ogni'it his trails. Yes, when the truthful historian comes impartially to pen the his tory of this war—he will have his mind Cal led and—his attention fixed upon the almost superhuman theory, advanced so forcibly, supported so cogently, by "J. N." against the popular prejudice-:—then, with a poWer of a new era, he will be compelled to write up on the pages of a nation's record the fact that a greater la wiser, or more illustrious . orator, philosopher, and . satirist was never known than this fearless exponent of the principles of truth and war. Go on, "J: , N." The world is ilia Coming up .to your stand point: "Viewing it from the basis from which each reasons," and it must.acknowl edge the supremacy Of . ..your,theory,.if ..ever there is ft recanailfriti o fit and South—as each now stands unconditionally opposed to the other, thus ignoring the oth er's claims.. You view both positions, which is the secret of the matter. We rejoice that the fearless and heroic "J. N.'? stands'ready and willing to bear all the pressure—Other wise we could not so boldly strike for truth, regardless of public opinion, as we do. "J. N." will lecture to-morrow evening in the Hall of the House of Representatives, in this city, and in Springfield on the 81st, before the Illinois Legislature. Ho is satisfied that when people view it from his stand point all will be reconciled to this reasoning. Turn out and hear the martyr before ho leaves for Richmond to address the Confederate Con gress. He will hold the Northern stand point in the South. Ladies are especially invited. The immortal J. N. surrendered himself to the prison bolts and bars in this place, a martyr to his truths, in order to assume all of it himself. He foals the prejudice against him and does this to relieve his friends. THE DRAFT.-WO copy from the Chambersburg "Repository," the following important and useful information on thesub ject of the draft : Who are exempt.—ln addition to the phys ically and mentally disabled, persons under 20 and over 45 years of age at the date of draft are exempt. Family bibles, baptismal certificates, and church registers, where these aro in existence:are used in'astablishing non liability on account of ago and should be of fered in proof, together with the necessary affidavits. Aliens are exempt. An alien, in the meaning of the law, is a person born under a foreign government who has not filed a declaration of intention to become a citizen, has never voted nor attempte4 to vote, and has not held an office, civil or military, in this country. The fact of the Ohmage must be made to appear in duo form, supported by the sworn certificate of two persons not themselves aliens, who state that they know the party and believe his statements to be true. Pai•Stlin'S'WE"6 - fi'ave been two years in ser vice are exempt. The fact of having so served roust be proven by the exhibitiotrof a discharge or other satisfactory proof. .Substitutes before Draft.— As the law now stands, only persons not themselves liable to draft can become substitutes for enrolled men before draft. Of course for such wo must loop to the list of exempts—persons under 20 and over 45, aliens and such as have served two years since, the present war. It should not be forgotten that the regain tioni require that it man wh , offers hire- -If as a substitute for an enrolled man, must prove his nottliabilily to draft in the same way that he wmild be required to do if he were dra'ted and claimed exemption for the =I t ,1101141 br borne 111 Wind (hitt la all cases of furnishing substitutes in lieu of draft, the principal is exempt only as long m the sub stitute is not liable, nut exceeding - the time for which the substitute shall have been ac cepted. If the substitute enli-ts at nineteen years and tire. months of age, the principal is exempt for seven months. If the substi tute be over forty-tire rears of ago at enlist ment, tho principal is exempt for the terns of enlistment of the substitute, or fur a less twriod if Congress should filuallwhile make men over forty-five liable to draft. In 0141 ca,o of an alien substitute the principal is erelopt fur his term of enlistment, although the alien himself may determine his princi pal's liabilty by filing a. declaration of zi-- tention to become a citizen, voting at an election or holding an otEco, civil or mili tary. Subseilutes after Draft —Persons them selves liable to draft, may enlist as substi tutes for drafted, men, but in such ease the name of the principal shall again be placed on the roll and be liable to draft on future calls, but not until the present enrollment shall he exhausted. It• a drafted man fur nishes a stile.litute nut liable to draft, he is elempt fur the length of time the substitute is not liable. .\ drafted man furnishing a substitute can under no circumstances be ex empt for a longer period of time than for which he was drafted. Neither substitutes for drafted or enrolled men, nor drafted men themselves, are allow ed any choice of regiments, but must go wherever they are assigned. It should be stated that it i 3 rarely that a boy under eighteen is accepted into service by a prudentSurgeon,hy far the larger num ber of such being too diminutive and imma ture. It frequently happens that a man over forty-five makes an available substitute, but his acceptahibity depends upon a variety of circumstances and cannot be absolutely de termined until the man is offered. It is use less in any case to oiler a man as a substitute who is over fifty. Substitutes are not allowed furloughs af ter enlisting. This remark .applies to vol unteer recruits as well. Men determining to enlist either as substitutes or recruits should make all their arrangements before present ing themselves for enlistment and not im portune officers to do that which their in structions forbid. Colored men may be of fered as substitutes for white men. Persons who paid commutation in 1863 are by law exempt for three years from the day they were drafted; those that paid com mutation since Feb. 24, 1864, are liable to the draft about to be made. Any persons who furnished substitutes under the draft'of 1502 for three years can have themselves stricken from the lists be fore draft by producing the certificate of the commissioner,at that time and furnishing their own affidavit to the facts set forth in the certificate. The name of the substitute, the date of his enlistment, the regiment he entered and the length of time for which ho enlisted must be shown. - Members of religious denominations who shall by 'oath or affirmation declare that they aro conscientiously opposed to bearing arms, and who are Prohibited from doing so by tho rules and articles of faith of their Par . - Ocular church are entitled when drafted, to be considered non-combattints. They may pay three hundred dollars or be assigned to duty in hospitals 9r to the care of freedmen, as they elect. Such drafted men Must show their deportment has been uniformly con sistent with such declaration. i( Medical certificates , aro for the most part useless, although whore they come - Tan - a respectable source and can in any manner aid tho Surgeon on the board, due consider r r— ation is-given Ahem. Physicians who give certificates for pay aro guilty of a tniscle-. meanor and liable to punishment.. Attorneys or agents who assist drafted mon in preparing papers to be used in sup port of claim to exemption, are.by law. re , stricted from charging more than live dol lars in a single oiase. • The draft under the call of December 19th last is for ono Year, although volunteers and substitutes for enrolled men are received for one, two or three years. • The quotas as announced are net, all crrd-. its — dud localities. having boon computed and allowed before their assignment. It is use less to apply to, the Board of Enrollment for an abatement of quotas on account of men enlisted one, two cr three . years ago, inas much as all credits have already been estab lished and whether properly or improperly, they cannot now bo revised. TELE RECORD Of the States that have adopted the Constitu tional amendment is as follows: 1. Illlinois, 7. Missouri, 2. Maine, 8. New York, 8. Maryland, 9. Pennsylvania, 4. Massachusetts, 10. Rhode Island, 5. Michigan, 11. West Virginia. 6. Ohio, Delaware is tho only State that has voted A ro, so far. There are only a few hundred gfaves in that State, and they will soon run off into Maryland; but the legislature is con trolled by the most besotted of Democrats, and nothing will keep them from butting their heads against the stone wall of Freedom. The Governor of Kentucky has recom mmddrthat the legislature of that State shall give its assent to the amendment, coupled with a condition that the United States Gov ernment shall pay Kentucky $30,000,000 for her worthless, slave property. Of course, if the legislature assents to the amendment, it must be unconditionally. Tho State must say Yes or No, and that is all it can do. There was a time when Kentucky could easily have obtained compensation for her slaVes. The President offered it and Congress endorsed the offer. Why was not the offer accepted while it remained open? New Jersey is still in doubt. The demi nr.nt party is not apparently averse to ap proving the amendment, but wants to make some bargain about the election of United States Senator and preserving the monopoly of the Camden Al Amboy road—The chances seem to favor the passage of a resolution ap proving. the amendment. Should Kentucky and New Jersey endorse the amendment, it will need only Louisiana, Arks 118118 and Tennessee to, make up the twenty-seven votes necessary to its final adop tion, and their assent is certain to be forth coming at the proper time. What They Say in Richmond Denweritus„ surnamed "The Laughing Philosopher," might take some lessons in ironical - mirthfulness from the Richmond papers at this time. The editors find in the idightest victory and the greatest defeat of the Confederate armies a like advantage to their cause, and declare that even the cap ture of Fort Fisher was a blessing in dis guise At this moment they are occupied mainly in discussing tile various peace einba , sies, and are resolute in urging a prosecution of the - war, unless Sauthern independence is reci , gnized. The Examiner says: '• Better g,) do wn lighting, better be subjugated and conquered, than live to recollect that we brought ruin upon our heals by deceptive reconstruction. - Tile tinel says: "Let us keep clearly in view that independence, to maintain which we drew the is i tvord, and listen to no sug r taistion of its e , ii - lpriiinise ns the price of peace." The says: "In the South, peace means separation and inde p..ndenee." The Dispatch lllkti 811 article showing that "the independence of the Con federacy is necessary to the prosperity oldie middle and lower classes." It declares with commendable audacity that, "if slavery is removed the poor What's are ruined: Tfin Sentinel is mast bliiial-thirst v. It apposes compromise. Its voice is still for war. De nouncing submission, it exc•litims to ith irre sistiblfi mock dignity—The past al least is secure."'

When Abraham Lincoln took the chair of the Presidency of the United States, ho promised in his flat boat lingo to "run the machine us he found it." Whether lie has strickly kept his promise, those mils doubt mho choose to consider the subject. It is - enough for us to;-know, that whether "run ning his machine" in the pathway of his 'predecessors or not, he has run it with a stern, inflexible purpose, a bold, steady hand, a, vigilant, Active eye, a s)eopless energy, a fanatic spirit,, end an eye Single to his end— conquest,—emancipation. Ile has called a iMind him, in counsel, the ablest and most earnestmen of his country. Where ho has l ac kid in individual ability, learning, expe rience or statesmanship, he has sought it, and has found it, in the able mon about him, whose powers he applies to the advancement of the cause he has undertaken. In the Cabinet and in the field he has consistently and fearlessly pressed on the search for men who could advance his cause and has as un hesitatingly-out off all those who clogged it with weakness; timidity, imbecility or fail ure. Force. energy, brains, earnestness, he has collected around him in every depart ment. Blackguard and buffoon as he is, he has pursued his and with an energy as un tiring as an Indian, and a singleness of pur pose that might almost be called patriotic. If ho were not an unscrupulous knave in his' end, and a fanatic in his political views, lie would undoubtedly command our respect as a ruler, so far as'we.are concerned. Abroad and at home, he has exercised alike the same ceaseless energy and 'circumspection. Wo turn our eyes to Richmond, and the contrast is appalling, sickening. to. he heart.

Sherman, and the probable evacuation of Charleston has boon communicated to this department in the fol lowing telegrams, just received from Gen. Grant. (Signed) EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War. CITY Poiwr, Feb. 16-4.44 P. M. Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, War Department, Washington, D. a : The Richmond Dispatch of this morning says that Sherman entered Columbia yester day morning, and its fall necessitates, it pre sun es, the fall of Charleston, which it thinks likely is already being evacuated. (Signed) U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General. CITY POINT, Feb. 18 Hon. E. 117 Stanton Tho tbßowing is taken from to-day's Rich mond Dispatch : THE FALL OF COLUMBIA—COLUAO BIA HAS FALLEN Sherman marched into and took possession of the city yesterday morning. This intelligence was communicated yes terday by Gun. Beauregard in our official dispatch. Columbia is situated on the North branch of the Congaree river just below the conflu ence of the Saluda and Broad rivers. From Gen. Beauregurd's dispatch,. it appears that on Thursday evening the enemy approached the south bank of the Congahie and threw a number of shells into the city. During the night they moved up the river and yesterday rnernin • forded the Saluda and Broad rivers. Whilst they were crossing these rivers our troops, under Gen. Beauregard, evacuated Columbia. The enemy soon after took pos session. Through private sources we learn that two days ago, when it was decided not to attempt the defence of Columbia, a large quantity of medical stores which it was thought impos sible to remove were destroyed. The female employees of the Treasury - I), , partlivint had been previously sent off to Charlotte, N. Co a hundred miles north of Columbia. We presume the Treasury lithographic establish ment was also removed, although as to this we have no positive information. The fall of Columbia necessitates, we presume, the evacuation of Charleston, which we think likely is already in preens of evacuation. It is impossible to say where Sherman will next direct his columns. Thu general opinion is that he will go to Clmrleston and establish bass. but wo.cronfess that we do not see *hat need ho has of a base. It is to be presumed that he is subsisting on the country. and b hat; had no battle to exhimq hi , ammunition. Before leaving Savannah he declared it his intention to march to Columbia, thence to Zti-la, and thence to Charleston. Thi s was uttered ns a boast, and to hide designs. We are disposed to believe that he will next strike at Charlotte. a Hell is a hun dred miles north of Columbia, on he C harlot te and Columbia railroad, or at Florence, South Carolina, the, junction of the Columbia and Wilmington railroad, some ninety miles cast of Columbia. There was a report yesterday that Au.,us ta had alio been taken by the enemy. Thii we do not believe. We have reason.; to feel assured that nearly all of Shornnin', army is altogether at Columbia. and that the report that Schofield was advancing on Augo-ta is untrue. [From the Whig.] R , m( red The Charleston :ITen-ttry of Saturday' last lIIIMMIICTS a brief su-pension of that paper, with a view to its temporary removal to another point.

EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War. Death of Senator Hicks of Mary- land Hon. Thomas Holliday Tricks, 'United States Senator from Maryland, died in \Vash ington, yesterday morning, of a stroke of paralysis, which overtook him on last Fri day. 110 was born in Maryland, and from his earliest childhood manifested thoSe quali ties which at once, ornamented the man and made him a successful popular leader. Ile frequently- served with credit in the Legis lature of his State, and was elected Gover nor in 1858. He held this office until 1862, all through the critical time when Mary land, belore and after the Sumpter attack, Was wavering between truth mid perjury, between - loyalty and treason. Even when Treason in the very streets of Maryland's metropolis reddened Its hands in the blood of the first offerings to a holy cause, ho was undismayed by the apparent strength of the unruly, and took measures, "sharp and de cisive," to crush contention while it was yet a pilling babe. Though it was almost death to speak admiringly and lovingly of the old Union, he spoke, and in unmiAalcable tones, too. When the secret commissioners of the Confederacy came to him on the sentiment iir.Maryland, ho persistently refu , ed their every ad Vallee, and turned a .deaf ear to their every argument. If he had but listened to them, or if he had made even the most in significant advance towards their Maryland might have been voted out of the the %Union, Washington cut off from the North and captured, and President Lincoln's inauguration rendered a necessity in some more Northern city. The effects of the con ventions which met in February and March were nullified by his influence, and to him is due the loyal Legislature which met in April and refused to pass a secession ordi nance. So admirably did he perform his duty, that the extremists of the State, once with love of the Confederacy at fever-heat. slowly cooled down, repented of their haste, and itecepted the Union as a normal condi tion—an.l ali,ilute necessity. In 186.2 he left the Gubernatorial chair, and soon was eluted Senator, vice Janice , Pearce, deceased.

The company commenced on Tuesday evening last and will continue during this week, clueing positively on Monday night. The plays are carefully selected, well put upon the stage, and acted with very consid erable ability. On Wednesday night we witnessed the performance of 'the "Daughter of the Regiment" and the "Maniac Lover," and were at once delighted and surprised, to see these pieces performed with so much talent and good taste. In the former Miss Denham and Mr. Rouse displayed histrionic qualities of no mean type, rendering their different roles with a heartness and viva not often excelled. As the "Maniac Lover" Mr. Meeker acquitted himself with infinite cred it. We have seen the great Murdoch in this character, and feel fully justified in saying that the conception and rendering of the character on Wednesday night was fully up to his high standard. -Tasteful and appropriate scenery is pro vided for each play, and the costumes and general "make up" are good To-night the beautiful drama of the "Sea of Ice" will be played and to-morrow (Sat urday) evening the Forty Thieves' and "Jack Sheppard." Our readers can feel assured that there is nothing in these plays - to offend the most fastidious taste, and the manager as sures us that every effort will be made to make the audience comfortable, to entertain and delight them.

In recommending this article to the atten tion of our readers, we are fully aware that many of the articles put up and sold as sub stitutes for coffee, are miserable decoctions, the use of which very frequently, exercise a very deleterious effect upon the nerves, and through them the system generally. This is the case where injurious drugs are used to impart flavor and coloring matter. We feel assured that this is not the case with thearticle presented by Mr. BROWNING, as it'is perfectly pure and free from every harmful ingredient. The very low figure at which it is sold brings it within the reach of all. Wo cheerfully recommend it to our readers. Read the advertisement in an other columii. ELEGANT STOOK OR JEWELRY.— Those who intend making purchases in Jew elry, will be interested in Messrs. Forsyth & Co's advertisement in another column. They offer a superb stock from which to se lect, and we are informed, by a friend who has made a personal supervision of their goods, that they are just as they are repre sented to be in their advertisement. The jewelry is all new, and of the latest styles. All articles received, which are not satisfac tory to the customer, can be returned and the money refunded.

SCHOOL EXAMINATION.—The bear ing of popular education upon all the practi cal life, is so deeply felt and appreciated in the present day, that we all regard with pleasure, any indications of improvement and prosperity in our Public Schools. This is evident from the encourageinent which is given to their periodical examination of pu pils. On Such occasions the school house is generally crowded with eager-visitants, who, c •itieally note all the evidences of talent and improvement which the examination devel ops. This is not only commendable, but also a faithful index to the healthful tone of our intellectual life. The associated offorts of Teachers to improve themselves and their !node of teaching, and the sympathy anti co operation of parents with them in the educa tion of the pupil, may servo to illiistratehow far the present generation exceeds the past in enterprises for the mental culture of the young. We were deeply impressed wits this fact when on the 16th inst., we witnessed a. most creditable examination of the school at Pleas ant Hall, taught by Miss LYDE C. FLEMING. The Hall was beautifully decorated with ever green wreaths, and crowded by anxious pa - rents and visitors from a distance. The ex amination was conducted by the Teacher, and did great credit to herself and her pupils. The good order and prompt accuracy with which the scholars passed through a most rigid examination, evinced the efficiency with which Miss FLEMING 1/$lB discharged the du ties of her responsible profession. All could perceive that she nut only knew how to teach, but had the precious talent of ruling and en torcing discipline. Having attended former exam inations of thisschnol, we could perceive the rapid improvement of the scholars under the plastic influence of their faithful Teacher. Our friend, DANIEL K MEYER, with his two children, assisted by Mr. JOHN Il II EMI, enlivened the occasion with excellent vocal and instrumental music, and at night gave a Concert in Pleasant HALL which, we are in formed, elicited unhountql applause from a crowded house. The present prosperous condition of Pleas ant Ifni! School is owing in a great measure to the indoratigaide efforts and judicious coun,cls of Hon. 11 colt liTtrAaT, whose zeal in the Callsoof 1)01111i/a education has been felt throuiduiut our entire County, and whose unifiirin kindness and co-operation go far to ionise the duties of a teacher pleasant. In leaving this intellectual entertainment, our only regret wa, that we could riot accept his iuv'Lation to II sumptuodi repast prepared by his amiable wife for their numerous friends. Carlisle, Pa.
