It is rather alarming to look around at the different localities of this country, and ee the number of brave healthy stalwart men that have left or are about to leave it, perhaps forever. There is no surer indication of a ruined country than this. They fee it, they know if, and they feel it. It is no slight cause will move a man to leave the hearths and graves of his fathers, the associations and endearments of childhood, the companions of his youth, and the friendships of manhood, to fwek n a strange land and under a strange government that protection wbifh is denied him at home. They ate leaving by hunJreds, g. iin to Mexico, going to Canada, going any place to get lid of this government. They think, and tell us so, that no man's life or liberty is safe here, he may at any time become obnoxious to some petty informer, and be hoisted off to soma dungeon to rot and drag out the balance v( a miserable existence if it seems meet to those in power. Wq believe that those who are leaving this country are acting judiciously ; b" e-tute there is h moral cancer eatin? into the vitals of this country in the hape of Abolitionism that is hurrying it on to dis solution with an inevitable destiny. If they tear up by the roots every endearing affection, they also leave behind them, the meanest government on the face of the earth, a government that pays no regard to the protection of its citizens, they leave behind them a taxation, that no person ever seen or read of its equal. They leave behind them no habeas corpus, but in its stead, they leave a lot of pimps and informers. They Ic'ave behind them a broken Constitution, a shattered govern ment, and impoverished people. They leave behind them a fine country for Shoddy, so far as it has gone. Iut the game is not played out yet. Shoddy has been stealing cards, and seemed to have a fine run, but the genuine trumps arc all against him and he will lose the game be fore the rubber's are played. Shoddy does not admire the smell of p-wdr, or the glitter of cold stvl, and therefore, cannot win. No men ever won at the death of a country, who were two cow ardly to risk their hide for their riches. To the victors will belong the spoils. And Shoddy is only accumulates to be robbed by the courageous and enterprising soldiers. So those that don't with to stay and see the end oi this matter do well to go and make a quiet and respectable home for themselves and their offspring under Maximilian, Don Padro, or Queen Victoria. It is a hard alternative for those, who from their youth up have been listening (to song and story about the freedom and ffciry of their country, to have to abandon all idea of the resuscitation of the 44 land of the free and the home of the brave." and seek an asylum under the monarchy which will give them protection for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." TbJ-'rro of the ocean, the home of the brarjt ad the free," how changed ? Time was," fcod that )ma than four years sine ment of all creation, but now it rank with Hungary, with Poland or Ireland. It is a hard alternative for men who four years ago " would have brooked the eternal devil to keep their state in Rome as easily as they would a King." now quietly preparing to adopt some country governed by a King or Emperor and leave the land forever, where they learned to linp their mother name, the first beloved and last foreot in this world. Dire is the I necessity that compels them to such a course. The Americans have as much patriotism as any other nation on the face of the earth ; indeed, it is an inherent quality in all nations civilized and barbar ous. The savage lnves his native shore. Tim' rinis the soil and chill the air " These emigrants will succeed, for they carry the elements of success along with them, energv, industry, youth, and health, and they will do their duty to any govern ment, and will be an acquisition and ad vantage to any country thut will give them protection. When emigration begins in a country it does not easily stop, one emi grant paves the way lor another, he suc ceeds and his former associates go, they succeed, and they send fcr their families. And thus it goes on, and the country they go to, is the gainer, and the country from whence they go is the lot-r. These are plain facts apparent to every thinking man of common sense. These men would succeed here if they were not chased away by a bad government. For the simple reason that they have the elemrnts of success in their bones, muscles and minds. It was emigration that made the United States what it was four years ago. They developed the resources of the country, thev built the railroads, canals and churches, they opened anil worked the coal and var mines of the country, and did all the rouh and heavy work of the manufactures. Not only that, but they entered our forests, and made magnificent farms, where once was the haunt of the panther, the fox, the deer, and the wolf. In doing this, they not only axisted in the increase of the wealth of the country, but infinitely bettered their own condition. Those who have lived long enough here have become wealthy ami respectable, and their children are among the Ivst educa ted of the American people. Not only have they dune that fvr themselvts, but in many instances they have sent vast Mrnoonr of their earnings to Kuropc to aPM.t aged parents or relations who were unfit to emigrate and in want of assistance. The amount sent by servant prl alone, to Kiiroje, to pny passages, and nst-iM aged parents annually was i-normous. Such has been the fruits of emigra tion to the United States, when they weie United States, and such will be their fruits to other countries, for they are founded on natural causes which cannot fail. S- we look upon this emigration as one of the most dangerous blows struck at the future prospects of this country. Hut let us not despair. "Ixjok not mournfully on the past it cotues not back again ; wise ly improve the present it is thine ; go forth to nvet the Miadowy future without fear and with a manly heart." A I'ictokui.

Ever since the first of December, the weather has been remark ably cold, and sledding and sleighing lias 1een C001 ver eu,ce wi,n very slight in- terruption. V e have had more sledding to this town already this winter than we have had some winters altogether. It is astonishing the amount of lumber that is brought here from the north ; we could scarcely realize that there were so much manufactured, or that there were able bodied men enough left in the country to manufactory -it . : Oeaerul Mierman. The conciliatory jmlicy adopted by Gen. Sherman in Savannah seems to take the rebel all aback at Richmond. His go vernment and that of General Geary in the city ha beer very mild, and it seems to tell on the people of Georgia. In nine counties in southwestern Georgia they have issued calls for Union meetings. Meetings were held in M jnfgotnery and i .... t liberty counties indorsing the resolutions ot the Savannah mcetins. tietner inese i . . m m r .1 , 1 meetings are held as a matter of policy to save their property from destruction, or as the voluntary act of those entertaining a genuine Union sentiment we cannot say. There is one thin certain if there is any lingering sentiment of returning to the allrgiance of the Union among the people of Georgia, Sherman and Geary are taking the right way to develope ir. It is an old adage, that 44 honey catches more flies than vinegar." And as Sher man gave them a taste of the vinegar on his march through Georgia, he is letting them take a little of the honey. Had other Generals done the same thing we might have had a different story to tell to day. His course may do much to disa buse the Southern mind of the hatred they entertained against 1 hitler and Hunter and Hanks and Fremont. The people of Savannah will sec that all the Northern Generals arc not such men as these were. Sherman is far in advance of any of the Northern Generals not only as a comman der of a great army, but as a civilian and statesman. If tho Union is ever to be brought together again, he will be instru mental in a great measure of effecting it We must not, however, place too much confidence in the Union sentiment of the South, what men will do and sav when the dagger is at their throat, or the spoli ator ready to attack their property, is no indication of what their true sentiments are when voluntarily left to themselves, lioth North and South are fighting for tin same thing viz : for nationality and the negro. The North is fighting for nation ality and the freedom of the negro The South is fighting for a separate nationality, and to keep the negro where he was, un der the protection of hi master. They arc both right, viewing the case from their ovn 44 stand point" as the im mortal J N. Free said. If Sherman's policy be adopted by the government, there might be yet some chance for a re union of the States, but we must confess that our faith in thi.- Administration doing anything cither cniblc or patriotic is far from bein string. Alexaiu'er Dumua. This man who has written more trashy novels than any living man, is about to leave Paris next month and visit the United States. As he is a semi-colored gentleman we may look for him being awfully lionized in this country. lie has made a contract with some of the shoddy of New York to write a history of the first four years of the reign of Abraham Lincoln, and l.us the shoddies of New York preparing the materials for him, and the Harper's agree to publish it for him. As he is intensely loyal and of tho t ight color we may look for any amount of Hunk ism after his advent. As he has been intimate with Ganibaldi and associated with him in some of his cam paigns, he says he will give the people some lectures on the life and exploits of that great man. He will divide the profitB of his book between himself and the soldiers in the hospitals. On the whole it is a perfect Godsend to the jieople of New York, Washington, and some other places who have not had a great humbug for some time past. We don't think that the arrival of Kossuth in thid country was half so much needed for a humbug at the time, as this man is now. This man has all the elements necessary to create a great sensation in this country. His reputation as a writer is undeniable, his loyalty to the Northern States is un questioned and beyond dispute, but above and beyond all is his color. He is not entirely black, but genteely smoked in the Fred. Douglass style. We believe he is of the West India breed. Take him all in all, he is the greatest acquisition the North has got for many years. They can exhibit him as a living example of what the colored race can be brought to by projKT training and cultivation. As he is a man that looks out for the main chance, he will have a fine opportunity to fleece some of the superfluous stealings from those would be aristocrats. fv Co torn is morad Mture- Vict I ') CambrlM'N - Or.

Not alone on the field of battle not alone in the human ens of the South, or the bastiles of the North has the lives of our people been offered up as victims to the relentless God of Wan but large num bers have fallen victims to their lattors of love in attending to sick and wounded, and ameliorating the condition of the un- fortunate The name al tnc ht.ac 0f articie ;9 a striking example f tho latter class. Robert Montgomkkt Smith Jack- son was born at Alexandria, Huntingdon j county, and was, at the time of his death j about fifty year, of age. He received a . ; , , . liberal education, and graduated at the University of Pennsylvania. Notwith. standing Ins attainment m the line of the ! profession he had chosen, that of medi cine, which were acknowledged to be of the highe st order ; he showed, at an early day, a great taste for scientific pursuits, and the most indomitable perseverence in his investigations. He became a distinguished Geologist, and when afterwards, Professor Rogers' corps for a Geological Survey of Pennsyl vania was organized, Dr. Jackson was tendered a position in the corps ; and much of the most raluable information in j the volum produced by their labors, is attributed to him. He afterwards located in Hlairsville, where he pursued the practice of his pro fession, with assiduity and success for a number of years. About this time the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad was located over the Allegheny Mountain, and the idea was first suggested by the Doctor of establishing h grand Sanitarium or Health Institute, some where at or near the suaamit of the Allegheny. This pro ject has since culminated in the celebrated Cresson Springs, which was commenced under his auspices, and with which hi name will I indisolubly connected in all coming time. The explorating line of the new Rail mad crossed the Huntingdon, Cambria, and Indiana Turnpike, at a joint then known as Laurel Swamp, as unpromising a piece of territory, at that time, as could well le imagined. The Doctor at once selected this ground for the 'p'irpose : and after several years delay, an immense amount of difficulty, and no littl- litiga tion, succeeded in securing the title. The Laurel Swamp under the more ro mantic name of Rhodo lendron began to attract some attention ; and an ordinary hotel, tnow called the 44 lower house," or 44Crockford" in Hedford parlance,) wa erected, and a Postofiice established. Soon after the charter for the Health In- stitute was procured; and not long after the main buiMing known as the upper house, or the Cresson Springs House pro Ier was erected. Dr. Jackson's interest was afterwards divested, and lodged in the 44 Health In stitute," and the Cresson Springs Com pany, (so called in honor of Mr. Cresson ot Philadelphia,) under whose auspices the concern i now in a most flourishins condition. Dr. Jackson, not from any love of au thorship, but in furtherance of his purpose ot establishing a Sanitarium, became an I author. His work, 44 The Mountain," a volume of some 000 pages, though w ritten in the interval, of labor, and sent to the press in a crude and unliiuVhed state has some merits, and is highly characteristic of the man. IS main purpose was to at tract visitors to the spot ; and gives the geology, the Flora and the Fauna of the U-ality ; as well as a vast deal of general information ; in a agreeable, though very abrupt and broken style. Larly in the present unhappy war Dr. Jackson was appointed Regimental Sur geon from which post he received succes sive promotions ; and at his death, we. are informed he was Diusion Surgeon. He acquitted himself with credit at all times ; and as he entered the service a healthy, stalwart man, there is n., doubt but he fell a victim to the duties of his post. His death occurred at Chattanooga, and he leaves an only child, a daughter ; his con sort having died a few years ago at Har risburg.
