Wednesday, Dec. 6, 1865.
CONOKESS convened on Monday last.—
M;. Collox was elee'ed speaker. All the
southern members including those from
Tennessee were refused seats in the body.
Bills were immediately introduced for ex
tending the right of suffrage to negroes in
the District ol Columbia ; and for forcing that
degrading condition upon the southern states
before their admission to the union. Radic
alism is triumphant and defiant. The con
stitution and law 6of our country are to be
overthrown and new ones modeled after
those ol Uayti and Jama.cn, to be adopted.
The President and his policy are entirely ig
nored. lie is virtually declared an alien and
usurper. The abolition jitsobins and blood
hounds are upon bis track. Compbxion of

going to pres9 . The county awaits it with
bated breath.
JGSC Joseph E. Johnston, the renowned
antagonist of Gen. Sheimao, and Major Gen
eral in the rebel army, arrived in New York
on the 16th mst, with his wife, tnd took
rooms at the New hotel. The world savs
the General has lost nothing of his fine ap
pearance by the trials tf the late war in
which Jhe played so conspicuous a part. He
is of medium height, broad shouldered, and
wears a heavy mustache and beard, which
lapse of time, and no doubt, also the trouble
to which he has been subjected for the last
four years,have changed from a deep black to
an iron gray color. It ts understood that he
is in the city on priva'e business.
EST A revenue inspector at Philadelphia
and his brother, who is assistant assessor in
the same city, and both of whom were greai
favorites at the White House during the late
administration, have lately come to grief.—
They are accused of using their official posi
lions in relation u> tobacco manufactured bv
them, and of never having returned more
than one- - .wentielh thereof. The Treasury
Department, it is alleged, has discovered
frauds to a much greater amount than the
whole stock seized. The present law is ve
ry defective in the punishment of such offen
ders ; but the Secretary has determined to
exercise all ttie severity possible in aggrava
ted cases.— Lancaster Intelligencer.
The Next State Convention-
A meeting of the Democratic State Central
Commitleec was held at Ilarnsburg on Tue
day the 21st uli. The time for holding the
next Democratic State Convertiou was fixed
for Monday, March 6:h, 1866.
That is right. Let the Democratic party
in the meantime prepare for the next fall's
campaigr. Let us have no more "old 'ogy"
"intensely dignified" and "conservative" cam
paigns. Let us meet the enemy as we would
meet one on the tented field. Yes, let us
meet them with strategy,energy,organization,
or whatever deviser they may see fit to use !
Who would think, in meeting a highway rob
ber of falling back upon dignity and nice lit
tle dis, lays of standing and politeness fort
success ?— Sunbury l)em.
BEAUTIES. — Seward, in his slavering eulo
gium of his Colleagues—past and present
says of ex Secretary Camerom. that he is "in
all things honest, earnest, zealous, patriotic."
Think of that, Cameron honest and patriotic!
AMer this philosophers may confidently look
for blood in turnips. Of the illustrious Ed
—the successor of the pation o f Sc >tch
ale and red herring speculators—Seward
sty*, "I have never known hitn to express or
even betray a thought in regard to our coun
try which was not divine." Mr. Seward
must havo been thinking of that "divinity
which shapes our ends," (rough bew them
as we will.)
We have heard of sermons in rocks and
music in the brooks, but Seward can see more
jewels in a "toad's head" than the most of
men !
A company of English capatilista
have leased the Catawissa railroad, in this
State, for nine hundred and ninety-nine year*,
at a thousand dollars a day rent. The Mot
ris A Escx read is said to have bren leased
by the same company. The object is to
complete a direct and nearer route to St
Louis.
One of the merry wives of Blooralngton
Indiana, played a practical joke on her hus
band, by having their babe, a sweet little in
fant of six Uhinth c , done up in a basket and
left on the front door steps with a note say
tug that be was the father of the child and
tnust support it. The indignant husband
swore roundly that it was not his, but Anal
ly saw the joxe when he found the cradle
empty.
MOUNTAIN or SALT. —A striking curiosity
has lately been discovered in the Nevada
Territory. It is a mountain of rock salt, sit
uated about twenty miles from Meadow Val
ley, and only eighteen miles from the fie ad of
navigation ou the Colorado river. It rises
abruptly from the plain, about four hundred
fuel in height, a mountain of pure, sparkling
cryatabsed salt.
Lost Its Chick.
The Democratic party used to hare 86 an
emblem the "Cock," but for some years the
Hen. and not the ''Rooster" was conceded the
most appropiate. All that remained of the
party,(the hen) was one poor little "ch:ck''
(New Jeisiy) for which a continual scratch
inn and cackling was kept up as though the
old hen had lotsw-f chicks to leed and keep
warm. The old hen (the Democratic psrty)
loved her one chtCK (Now Jersey,) bu : the
"Old Coon," regardless of her cries carried,
off her last chick, and the poor old hen ts
alone in the world.— Abolition paper.
We rather like that, says the Northumber
land County Democrat. It sounds a little
s- art, considering its source, and may have
a ''slight semblance"of truth about it; The
'•Old Coon" has long been known as u most
unmitigated thief, and of course by lying and
stealing has got the chicken. He got Massa
chusetts first and Massachusetts was always
after lost to Washington, Jefferao'n, Jackson
and everybody else but old "Zip Coon" and
the nigger, who is also a great chicken thief !
But has nut the old Coon done something
else besides eat up the chickens ? "Sartin
ly." He has eat up all the gold and silver,
and judging from the scarcity and high prices,
he must have "carried off" nearly all,the but
ter. cheese, sugar, coffee, muslin, bread stuff-*,
and everything else except Revenue stamps.
Federal tax collectors, niggers and wooden
legs. Yes the "Old Coon" carried off the
chickens, tore down the hen coop, swallowed
down the buckwheat, played the hog in ev
rybodvs cornfield, went out.and in from its
hell-hole home, with its ring tail full of fire
and brimstone, until it got the Magazines,
and Arsenals, and barns, and houses, and
villages, and cotton mills of the whole coun
try on fire, and having stolen nearly every
thing Uncle Sam had, and got hiiu four bit
lions in debi, proposes now to climb a tree
taking a back ioad of untaxed binds along,
and let Uncle Sam and bis poor ftunily get on
as best they can. It is a viliainou, bloody,
deceitful, lying, burglarious Old Coou, and
ought to have the dogs, put on its tracks—
have its bead hammered as flat as a pancake,
and have it* hide used up to keep the wid
ows and orphans, of the nation warm.
Taxing; U. S. Bonds.
The Louisville Democrat discusses as foI-
It ws touching the right and policy of taxing
Government Bonds :
The terribly Lyal Sta'e of Vermont is agi
tating the question of taxing United States
bonds, or the irc.mo upon them. Petitions
are pouring in in behalf of that policy. A
large committee of the Legislature has been
appointed to investigate the subject of the
power of the State to tax these bonds.
In times past it would have been easily de
cided that a State could not tax United
States bouds ; for if a State has such Powei,
the States might nulify the power of the Fed
e al Government to borrow money. On the
other hand, and by the same logic, the Fed
eral Government could not tax State bonds ;
otherwise the Federal Government might
nullify the right of a S'ate to borrow money.
The Federal Government has undertaken to
tax the circulation of State bank paper.—
This nullifies the power of a State to charter
a bank ot issue.
This is directly opposed to the logic of the
Supreme Court when Maryland st'empted
to tax a branch of the United States bank.—
The court bavin settled that Congress had
power to charter a bank,decided that a State
could not tax it ; otherwise the States might
nillify this power.
But there is no telling what the States
may do, in these revolutionary times. They
may drop this logic and resort to philosophy.
The verdict < f the people may be that the
bonds mu*t be taxed, and the fellow that
undertakes to gainsay it will be disloyal, and
the bond holder that makes too much fuss
about his bonds will be informed that he
must prove his loyalty or loose his bonds al
together, or be glad to get his interest in le
gal tenders.
It may be that the public debt may be in
compatible with the safety of the government
like a slavery ; and it may be a military ne
cessity to abolish it ; mcuh more to tax it.

♦•John Brovfu'i Soal Is Marching On.
John Brown's soul is still on the March.—
We hear of it progress in almost every quar
ter. Scarcely a day passes that does not
recurd an act of John Blown piety, in some
shape or other, —horses stealing, murder,rape,
arson, intrigue and debauchery. During the
past week, among numerous ottiers, John
Brown's soul has takeu Bleps as follows :
Nashville, Tenn., a heavenly place, presi
ded ove r by cne of Brown's favored disciples
Parson lirownlow—appears to be highly
blessed. On the 221 inst., about 10 q'clock,
as Mr. Wm. Htfferman, a well known citizen
of the city, was returning fr< ra St. Cecilia
Seminary with his daughter and son in his
cairiage,he was attacked by four higwayinen,
who dragged him into the bushes by the
road and robbed hira, and so desperately in
jured him that his recovery s impossible,—
One of the robbers was badly wounded by-
Mr. Htfferman. All of the pepetrators of the
act nave been arrested, and are now in jail
They were found to be teamsters in the em
ploy of tho Government .
In St. Louis, Miss., the collector of the
United States Savings Association Had been
on his daily rounds collecting amounts due
trom other banks and had last called at the
Fourth National Bank, corner of Washington
avenue and Third 6treets. lie had in his
portfolio, or satchel, about thirty five thou
sand dollars, and was proceeding down Wash
ington avenue toward the river, when
"John BroW#'s soul" caine behind him,
knocked him down, and seizing the money
ran down the street. The collector, a gritty
young fellow, picked himself up, and seeing
tho thief running off with his money, quick
ly drew his revolver and fired on him.—
The robber weakened at the report of the
pistol, and dropped the money. Ho made
his escape as the collector stopped to pick
up his cash, while the thief continued ruu
ning.
The Boston Courier, of a late date says :
"Whatever may be the cause of the evils
that now infest us, it is certain that our
streets are getting to be as unsafe as those of
Mexico, and people are really becoming
afraid to walk out after dark. Among some
circles a perfect panic of fear prevails. We
heard of a Chelsea gentleman being attacked
yesterday, who, even in the day time, does
not carry money or other valuables about
him. There is a general inquiry, what shall
be done to arrest this epidemic of crime ?
This question, put to a Judge of one of our
courts yesterday, elicited the answer, "Cany
a revolver, and 'when attacked shoot—but
be sure to shoot accurately." It is now un
*afe for decent people to walk around after
dark."
John Brown's 6oul should be taught bet
ter manners, and not to be allowed to attack
its fiiends and foster parents.
Some trouble has lately occurred with the
negroes ntar Marina, Florida. They burned
a cotton house, and did other damage. A
c unpany of regulars had been despatched to
enforce order.
Some negro troops attacked and took pos
session of a passenger train at Lauderdale
Springs, Mississippi, a few days ago, insult
ing the ladies, and perpetrating other out
rages.

FORKSTON, NOV. 1805,
MH. EDITOR :
Ilid I the skill to paint
scenes with words as faithfully as they are
presented to the eye, at my present place of
writing, it would not require the assistance
of imagination to produce a picture that for
beauty of scenery and grandeur of mountains
would compare probably with any spot in
our land, if-not vie with theworld renowned
Switzerland, the paradise of the traveller.—
The mountains around this place have* been
covered for several days, with a roaatle of
snow, while in the valleys between, we have
enjoyed delightful Fall weather; which
contends obstinately against the encroach
ments of icy winter; but as the irresistible
tyrant has secured possession of the solid
ramparts by which we are surrounded, we
must expect soon to see him sweep down
like an avalanche, from his lofty perch and
lock the land in his vice like grasp. Soon
must the pleasant days and gentle breezes of
Indian Summer give way to the chilling
blasts of winter. Whatever forebodings the
eoming cold weather may produce in the
minds ol the poor of our cities and towns, to
the people of Forkston it has no terrors. To
them there are no more visions of cold or
pove'ty, for they have recen'ly made the
important discovery that the mountains by
whicn they are surrounded are huge reser
voirs of that which will both warm their
hearts and fill their pockets with (he needful
A few of the enterprising citizens of the
place, with their pics aud shovels, some
days since, made a breach into the side of
one of ihe mountains near the place, and laid
open to view a fine vein of coal, that onlv
• i
needs a little energy, and some capital, to
coin into greenbacks and bank stocks. A1
ready do visions of vast wealth and heavy
coal operations float through their minds.—
We may reasonably esp. ct at no distant day
to see the iron horse puffing his way among
these mountains, carrying <ff the produce of
the mines, and bringing back in return wealth
and luxuries. We shall see villages spring
up where now are dense forrests, and the
smoke of the engines and hum of machinery
will fill these valleys, and Forkston, now so
little known, will occupy an important place
in our community, and exert an influence in
the wealth and importance of our country
Such are the ardent expectations of the peo
ple. May tbey not be disappointed.
Yours, &c.,
WANDERING JEW.
Negro Banditti In Teunesse,
Recent acts of audacity committed by
roving armed negroes, within a few miles of
Nashville, are attracting public attention and
exciting painful apprehensions. Travel on
the most frequented turnpike roads is be
coming perilous in the extreme. Within a
few weeks I have heard of three deadly as
saults committed on one turnpike road, lead
ing into a densely populated country, south
of the city,all by aimed negroes. In one
instance a garduer had a knife thrust into
his body bv a black patriciau whom he caught
in his cabbage patch, confiscating rebel cab
bages for loyal uses. In this case the wound
though at first considered dangerous, did not
prove fatal. A lew days previous, on the
same highway, a poor man was assaulted in
open day by two or more negroes, and beat
en nearly to death ic his market wagon.—
On Friday night last, about twelve o'clock,
a third attack was made upon an unsuspect
ing man from tho country, Mr. Richard
Hamlet, who resides nine or ten miles from
Nashvile, on the Nolansville turnpike.
Mr. Hamlet had left his home with a wag
on load of produce for the Nashville market,
accouipanied by his wife. He had drawn so
near to the city (having reached the toll
gate within haifa tnile of the corporate line
—near enough to hear the town clock strike)
that he thought himself ot) safe ground. So,
leaving his market stuff in the wagon, he
took lodging in tliP house of the toll gate
keeper. Heating a noise about his wagon at
the hour of midnight, he arose and went to
the spot, without arras. So soon as lie was
obseived by the armed uegroes, who were
helping themselves to the contents of his
wagon, they presented their guns to fire.—
The poor man begged them only to spare
bis life, and to take just what they chose. -
But they preferred to do murder, an 1 tureu
shots were lodged in his body. He lived
long enough to state the lacts.
While such things are of friquent occur
rence, and cannot be unknown to the millta
ry authorities, negro soldiers are to be seen
roving about through the country in squads
of three and four, with Colts repeaters swing
ing behind them, and even with Spnngficld
rifles upon their shoulders.— Cur. St. Louis

CT r THIS OCT Huir to delect Counterfeit
Rank Notes —A laic number of Paddock's
Reporter contains the following rules, by
which the inexperienced may bo rnabled to
detect and avoid receiving counterfeit paper
currency :
1. Examine the appearance of a bill—fhc
genuine have a general dark, neat appearance.
2. Examine the vignette, or picture in the
middle of the top ; bee if the sky or back
ground locks clear aud transparent, or 6oft
and even, and not scratchy.
3. Examine well the face ; see if the ex
pressions are distinct and ease, natural and
life like, particulate the eyes.
4. See if the drapery and dress fits well,
looks natural and easy, anu huws the folds
distinctly.
5. Examine the medallion, ruling, and
heads and circular ornaments around the
figures, etc. See if they are regular, smooth,
and uniform, not scratchy. The work, in
the genuine looks as if raised on the paper,
and cannot be perfectly imitated.
0. Exam ne the prii eipal line of letters or
name of ttie bank. See if they are all up
right, perfecily true and even ; or, if slopmg,
of a uniform slope.
7. Carefully examine the shade or parallel
on the face or outside of the letters, etc. See
if it is clear, and lO'ks as if c ilorcd with a
brush. The fine parallel lines in the genuine
are of equal size, and smooth and even
Counterfeits look as if done with a file.
8. Observa (he round handwriting engrav
ed on the bill, which should he black, equal
in size and distance, ola uniform slope, and
smooth. This in genuiue notes is invariably
well done, and looks vety perfect. In coun
terfeits it is seldom so, but ofteu looks stiff,
as if done *ith a pen.
9. Notice the imprint of engraver's name,
which is alwajs near the border end of the
note a.il is ilviys tlik; ; letters snail
upright and engraved very perfectly. Coun-*
teifeiters seldom do it well.
Ii has been remark ed that two things can
! not be-perlectl> counterfeited—one was the
die work, or portrait medallion heads, vig.
nette, &c., and the other standing or ruling
above the letters.
Returns from Jamaca.
The Deacon of the red herring Telegraph,
it appears, has at last received partial returns
of the late Republican Victory in Jamaica.
Yesterday (the 24th) tie said :
"Jamaica was lately the scene of a bloody
rencounter between the slaves and their mro
ters."
He has not got a full report yet of the aw
ful butchery of Whites, consequently he is
careful * ot to declared!, unequivocally, a Re
publican Victory. He merely calls it a
•'bloody rencounter ," as thoueh it was a
"free fight," in which the uehigerauts were
mu'ually engaged in cutting each others'
throats.
This last batch of returns, however, must
have been reeeiyed by the Deacou from an
"intelligent contraband," via the "Under
ground Railroad." He savs this ''bloody
rencounter" took place " between trie slaves
and their masters ." The fact is there are no
slaves in Jamaica. Slavery was abolished in
Jamaica by the British Government whose
colony it is—about thirty years ago .—Pat.

"DoiiVa ,k Turkey,"— As the story goes, an
i Indian and a Yankee went out hunting together—
agreeing to divide the spoils—lndian killed a tur
key—Whitimaii in order to have something to di
! vide, killed a crow- When the time for division
' come, the Kankee'i appetite for Turkey was a little
stronger than for crow ; addressing himself to his
! red friend he said : "You may take the crow, and
I'll take the Turkey; or, I'll take the turkey nnd
; you may take the crow."

during protracted meeting some of the young ladies
