Tuesday,
31. W. 31cALARNEY, EDvrotr..
Second Edition of the gebeillon
- ,
The aid and comfort furnished the
ex.rebels by Northern "Conservaaves"
has emboldened the lately - repentant trai
tors to throw taff all disguises and resume
their old babLts of insolence. They are
now threatening a ,second appeal to the
bwnet". The Macon, Georgia, Telegraph
thus admonishes the President:
, t‘The ballot-box is too slow a process
as a remedy for existing grievances. Let
the President put down the rebellion in
Congress and oppcal to the ballot-box to
sustain that." e
A writer in the Washington Constitu
tional truioii - ,. which until recently was
publishing :Government advertisements,
if indeed it ie,.not now, speaks as follows :
"I, again repeat 'that I caution no via
lance,' nor dO I wish to see the second
advent of CrOmwell, of England, or Na
poleon, of Ftince,practiced upon the, radi
cal destructii)nists in this Congress, but
'what has been may Le, and will be again,'
it I'residenti Johnson is thwarted in his
yreat in , enqoiis.. The ~President must
be sustainer
•
The 'Richmond Examiner comments
in ninch the same vein, as follows :
•
"The.Sulanie puddler of the national
foundry grins as lie sees the sparks fly off
from . the mass of metal that he is mani
pulating with,. devilish glee in his fiery
furnace. knows that they will fall
cold and lifeless, mere flakes of inert iron.
But, iklt. Stevens, God helping us, we do
not iutcod to pass through your rolling•
mill; and the day may not be distant
-when the fires of your forge will be put,
out by a th'Underbolt from the red right,
hand of caesar."
Gen. Carl Schurz, in his famous report
upon the cOndition of affairs in the South,
averred - that there were very few real
Union med in all that region; and be was
violently assailed for havinr , e uttered a, dec
laration soislanderous of the South. Yet
every day confirms the truth of what he
said. The Secretary of the Treasury can
not find men enough in the rebel States
to aet as collectors and revenue agents,
who can take the test oath ; and the Post
mastet General gives a similar reason for
not restoring the post offices in that part
of the country. There are at least six
thotisand post offices in the South at
which no Union meg can be fpund to act
Postmasters;as and at many of the two
thousand 6ffices that have been restored,
'WOMB haVe to be appointed because the
men cannot be found free from the stain
of treasons
The New York World, which exerted
all its poWers of fascination in tempting
,the President to betray the party by
which hesvas elected, and the principles
he is hon . orablY bound .to support, now
: turns sharply about, and admonishes dem,
°crate not to make any entangling alli
ances, not to accept offices from the pres
ent idinibistratioo, but to wait patiently
for that full restoration to control which
will be likely to come when all the States
again paiticipate in a Presidential election
"THE PEorr.E."—'rhe President speaks
of "the Utople" and is oppoied to forcing
negro suffrage upon "the people" with
out their consent. Who are "the people?"
The white ; people? They are no more
than a part of the people. In several of
the Southern States the black people are ,
a 'mrajotity of the population, and having
been made free have naturally the same 1
lights that other people have. The whites 1
,
being a minor ty in several States, and
barely it mole! in the other Southern ,
States, ihe ide athat they are to be con-
Butted as "the people" is monstrous. The 1
argument of the President would justify
and perpetuate every monopoly on earth ;
for if' monopolies cannot be broken up
without the - consent uf the monopolists,
then they will never be destroyed.
AsISSSINATION IN TENNESSEE.—The
Nashville Press Els that in Pemberton
county,; Tennessee, quite a number of
Union Men have besn 'assassinated by
returned rebel Fold*rs, And as every civil
officet - tri the county is a rebel, the mur
derers 9ae not arrested. The Union men
of the county finding it unsafe to live
there, arc moving off northward.
Recent intelligence from Spain shows
that the Progressive party will be satis
fied, in church matters, with nothing
short of a complete destruction of the
Catholic'Church, the abolishment of 311
orders o f f Monks and Nuns and the aban
donment of all Convents, while the
,Lib
erals would not go quite so far, but would
be satiqied witht "a reformation of the
Church."

Thel Legislature of Maryland has ap

THE UPS AND DOWNS 01? PETROLEUM.
—The Philadelphia iLecl,yer remarks that
a year ago six thoustnd' dollars was the
outside price for sink dga petroleum well,
and from three to four, thousand about
the avierage. Now lit is ten thousand.
A yea{ ago the working expen i se of a .
well wSs about ten dollars per day—now
it is twenty. Then it jbroueh't ten dol
lars at! the well—no fire, with one dol
lar off for taxes. result was, that
every I well producing two barrels and
more per day was wprth working. Now
we see that unless iiiprOduces ten barrels
it hardly pays to keel; it going, but if
leased on half-shares it is hardly worth
anything at less than twenty barrels. Nor
will one in fifty of !those sunk produce
tweoty barrels ; hardly that proportion
produce ten even. About Pithole not
one in, twenty pays at all;

CORNTOR FUEL.--Thd talk about using
corn for fuel has been supposed by many
to be a metelY exaggerated forixt of ex
pression, denoting the extreme cheapness
of the commodity. But it would appear
to be founded on,substantial fact an some
parts of the West. Tlle Galena (III.)
Gazette, for instance, says :
"We understand that many of tbepeo
i pie of Warren and other towns in the
eastern part of the county are using corn
for fuel. W'e had a conyersation with an
intelligent gentleman wliti has been burn
ing it, and who considers it much cheaper
than wood. Ears of corns may be bought
for ten cents per bushel by measure, and
seventy bushels, worth' seven dollars will
measure a cord. ;A cord of wood, includ
ing sawing, costs 's9 .50, which is $2 50
more than the ecist of .a Cord of corn, be
sides the feet that the corn produces more
heat than the wood. f these statements
ale true (and we have ho reason to doubt
them,) there is ho fuel More economical
than corn. The crop bf 'corn this year is
far beyond the demand ":
No one who has bad to pay the prices
for corn meal current in this section of
the country for Itho last. year would be apt
to imagine that the crdp.was "far beyoud
the demand," Iu faht, there is some
thing wrong about this burning of corn
ha one part of the country (and that not
far from the froutier)i and its prices so
high as to restrict ci:lnsumption it; anOther
• ' ',/
and the wrong utdoubtedly consist's in
insufficient facilities
, of transportation.
'Unless these facilities can be increased.
it Is no object for the West t'o produce
any more, while, the iMiustry'df the East
is sure to be burdened and h'ullified by
the constantly increasing cost
.of living.
Here is a:problem which our economists
and practical bpsiness men must solve.,
Hon. W. W.lBoyce, of Sonth Carolitia,
in addressing alfareivell letter to his con
stituents, says IJookingito the great
future, I should say the first thing 'for
the South is white immigration; the see
and thing is white immigration; the third
thing is white imtnigration. You should
do everything, in your power to invite a
population) bUth by your legislatiOn .and
favorable l i puhlic sentiments. Receive
immigrants from Europe and the United
States with Aopep arms. The danger in
the future is in f a collision , of races; your
safety h in ( dip closest sympathy with
your own race in the United States. You
need the friendship of the American peo
ple; take every step to Q,btain it.

The. New York- li)n'es sags it is curi
ous, in passing, through what was fi,rmerly
fashionable !realities, to see the "base
uses" to Which aristocratic mansions have
come. The :former residence of Noses
H. Grinell, in College place, so Mat , dis.
tingui-hed. for its beautiful and! refined
hospitalities., where: Daniel. Webster,
Washington' Irvin i>,. and other rnineot
alert, "do congregate,"l is now a ,"lager
beer salbon." Thb fermei residence of
the late Robert Ninturn injßeelf street
within which dwelt all there is attain•
able of evangelical religion, 'active benev
olence, Sociculti , iation, and domestic
virtue—is now an emigrant boarding
house.
CIMUNCEY C Buutt, one of 'the shin
ing lights of Jcbey Detn4raci, insists
that unless 'his pat,ty are ready to recog
nize the virtue; patriotistol and heroic
sacrifices for good, of Jeff. Davis, Bob
Lee, and other traitors, ,and to maintain
that Seward, Stanton, Chase, Grat3t, "and
all ,who fought against th t l3
,South" are
1 tyrants and cut-throats, i cannot ever
I hope consistently for success'. Burr de
clares that' pernocracy means literally the
E uperio rity 1 of the white man over the
black man--that such a superiority can
only be preserved by the enslavement of
the hlacks---and those wi l l° fought for
slavery were, the best Democrats—and
that if the Democracy of the North desire
to be consistent, they must avow now and
forever, as just and sacred,l the 'cause of
the Southctn slaveholder. Burr is cer
tainly a bold as well as J 'a lu id expounder
I
of Democracy.
THE.;LAsT ommittee of

they might furnish the reCord with an

Gen. Gearre Nomination.
In the Philadelphia Press of Friday
appears the following special telegraphic
dispatch, which looks as though the nom.
'nation of General Geary is certain in
spite of the effort being made to "set up',
the State against him
"UAnRISBURG, Feb. I.s.—Tt is ,now
definitely understood, front informrion
received through sources of the greatest
reliability, that John W. Geary has sixty
four delegatei to the Union State Con
vention instructed to support him as a
candidate for j Governor. As it only re.
quires sixty-seven votes to nominate ; it is
fair to believit'that Geary's nomination
will be made!on the first ballot." .
The Copperheads are very foul in their
speeches concerning the ignorance of the
Southern slaves. We admit that the ne
groes of the. South are a poor, degraded
class, made;such by slavery, but however
ignorant thdy now are,they are all friendly
to the Government, and whatever im
provement is made in their condition, will
tend to thejstrength of the nation. Can
as much be said of the intelligent traitors
of the South 1' No improvement in that
"race" will ever make them friends of the
Government, unless its objects and pur
poses are entirely changed, restoring sla
very, and giving to the States a power
superior to rthat of the nation. The men
who drew their swords againsi.the Gov
ernment will never be its friends. No
education can make them such—no leg
islation but that which inflicts the sever
est punishment will deter the white traitor
from his hostility. Why then make such
a hub-bub; about making friends for the
Union in the .South, out of the only ma
terial left to create such support?
The Copperhead organs just the pres
ent state of affairs, are dreadfully exer
cised with the idea of amalgamation,
miscegenation. and Mr. Wallace in his
late address, believes he has wade a great
point in appealing to the Democracy in
behalf of the purity of "the race." Now
it bas been admitted as a social truth,
that every ; mulatto born south of Mason
and Dix.on's line, during the present cen
tury, had toe same Democratic blood in
his body which James Buchanan in his
zeal for Federalism, once asserted he
was willing to let ont i of his veins provided
any orM could prove4bat be possessed the
element.
The New York .7 ramie,. referring lc
the extraordinary demand for seats in
Rev. A. W. Beecher's church, thinks
that the same coold;be paralleled in •that
city if the congregation would consent to
put up their seats, annually, at auction.
It says no pew can be bad in Dr. Adams'
church on Madison Square. Alt the
seats in the church are sold, even to
camp !stools. A list of families in the
hands of the committee, who are waiting
for seats, exceed one hundred.
The following shows the receipts and
disbursements of the United States
Christian Commission since its organi•
zation

This shows that an instnenEe amount
of,sutfering was sileyiated by this christ
ian apd patriotic organization.
After the Kentucky Legislature had
refused to endow the Constitutional
Amendment abolishing slavery, those
members who voted in the negative joined
in a petition to the President for the par
don of John C. Breckinridge.
