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,

THE CAMPAIGN.
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?

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.

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 . -

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."' A po u r dupe who has invested his
fortune is a lottery and drawn a blank, VX.-
The. past is secure!" A rum ruined
seedy rascal, pawning his last shirt far a

past of the- Confederacy, words cannot be
found fitly to characterize. It utile-de such
it retrospect Wi the life of a criminal when
the rope is around his neck and the cap
drawn over his eyes. Yet even in stud,
circumstances, wretches have been known
to break a jest and leap into eternity with a
he on their lips.
Perhaps it is not of notch consequence
what the Mc/Imola editors .en y, for it is ques

Rebel Contrast Between Lincoln
and Davis.
(From the Charleston Mercury, Jan. 10.)
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.

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.

General Schofield advanced from Smithville
with eight thousand :non on the 17th. At
the same time I attacked the works .by wa

the works, enfilading them with the Paw

tide and wind not allowing more vessels to
get under fire.
Tho fort answered pretty briskly, but qui
eted down by sunset on the 18th. At 8
o'clock I moved up close with the Montauk
leading, followed by the Mackinaw, Huron,
Sa.qacus Unadilla, Pa wtuxet, Oneida, She w

Ada, and kept up a heavy lire throughout
the day until late in the afternoon.'
The enemy's batteries were silenced by
three o'clock, though wo kept up our fire
until dark. We also fired through the night.
In tho meantime General Schofield was
working around to get in the rear of the reb
els and ,, cut them MI. The latter_ did not
wait for them to surround them, but loft in
the night, taking five or six pieces of light
artillery with them, and everything else of
any value.
At daylight this morning some of our
troops that were near by, went in and hoist
ed the nag on the ramparts, when the tiring
ceased from the monitors.
Thero were ten heavy guns in the fort,
and a quantity of ammunition.

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. Ile tool: his gent at the
first session of the 37th Congress, Rind, his

The plays are carefully selected, well put

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

general "make up" are good
To-night the beautiful drama of the "Sea

there is nothing in these plays - to offend the

BROWNING P F EXCELE4CII COFFEE. -7.
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. Rend the list in an
other column, and see if there is not some
thing you want.
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.
