Pennsylvanian 12th May.
og - Good I say we. I f there is one act for
which TAYLORISM should be landed, it is the
removal of Isaae G. McKinley, the editor of
the lying, corrupt, and servile tool of the dis
honest office-seekers of Harrisburg, Middletown
and Lancaster. " His only fault is, that he is a
Democrat," whiningly sympathises the Penn
sylvanian. A "democrat There is no more ;
democracy in Isaac G. McKinley (and we might
add, and his kidney apologists) than there is
in the "greatest scoundrel in America." He
was the flattery-bedauber of Simon Cameron,
fora few rags of the Middletown Bank. He
was the soapy adulator of the " favorite son" ,
who disowned his mother to avoid paying his
proportion of the funds upon which she existed,
and received therefor the very office from which
he is now justly 'removed. He is the " good
devil" advocate of all monopolies, corporations,
and special privileges " which are necessary,"
and all are necessary, which open to him their'
money drawer. In 1816, he was the ultra friend
of the '42 Tariff, and he even went so far as to
say that " no man who was not opposed to the
Tariff of 1816, and in favor of the restoration
of the Tariff of 18.12, could be elected Gover
nor ! In 1817, the lamented Shank was chosen,
and this "honest democrat," McKinley. has
since abused every man who favored the "Brit-
ish Whig Tariff of 1812." Ile has ever oppo

measures of freedom, and advocates the main
tenance of the humbug doctrine of the " com

English is, " give the South all she asks, and
let her alone in what she possesses."

hostility has come near breaking out between
the soldiers and their officers, as some say, be-
cause the Socialists have corrupted the former.
But do they who say this not know that the sol
diers are of the People, and must in. time hold
the same ideas and purposes?
ROME has repelled the French intervention,
and added to the Gallic tricolor, that once float
ed in Italian air for another end, a disgrace
which it now deserved, and which subsequent
triumphs against the Roman Republic can only
deepen.
In GERMANY there are insurrections; long
days of bloody fighting in the streets of the
beautiful City of Dresden, of fighting not yet
ended; in other places outbreaks partially put
down, but everywhere the revolutionary earth
, quake waiting only for its signal to shake the
whole superincumbent mass of things. What
rouses Germany now is the question of national
Unity. The Frankfort Parliament may have
secured a shadow, but it had the whole people
behind it, and its work will never he allowed to
fall to the ground. Meanwhile Germany con- ,
tinues victorious in Schleswig ; that will only
help the Revolution.
Still the Magyars hold their ground, and
launch defiance, not only at Austria, which
they have beaten, hot at Russia, whose hordes
are pouring down upon them. In Gallacia the ,
elements are prepared, and Poland only bides her
hour. France and England lay protest against
the Russian intervention. Protest here means
armed opposition.
The European War is thus begun ; the third
act of the Revolution has opened. When will
the curtain fall upon its catastrophe, and the
embattled nations, having buried the remains of
Kings and of all Aristocracies, return in peace
to their homes ?

nearly half a mile from the highlands,'
and in the darkness of the night, through,
mud, water and grass, every one had to,
transport themselves before they could . '
find a place of safety. Fortunately, no
lives were lost, but the loss and damage
of property is represented as immense.
The loss of C. N . Ogden, sutler of the

encampment, including the fixtures of a
camp, together with the clothing and
other paraphenalia belonging to those r
connected with this encampment, has
either been damaged or lost. Those
officers with families, having made eve

El Paso expedition, have met with a
serious loss, which will take some time
to repair. This sad catastrophe, to

visited the troops while stationed hero,

We understand the water was ten feet

located.
WONDERFUL PLACE.—A returned Cril;
iforniani among other remarkable Edo.;
ries, relates the following ;
On the shore re multitude of articles
lie about, the cargoes of vessels just
strived ;no one touches them, no at-
tempt is made to steal. I have also
seen lying in the streets of San Fran
cisco many shirts quite new, with no
other defct than being soiled from hav
ing been worn. The reason is that the
owners can buy a dozen of linen shirts
for ss' and a half, whilst the charge for
washing a single one is four reale,
(halt a dollar.)
From this he means that money is
no plentyful that men prefer throwing,
I away the soiled linen and buying now ,
to waiting for the labor of the washer-
I woman and submitting to her ezorbi
, taut charges.
