REMOVAL OF THE STATE CAPITAL --The
indications are that the present Legisla
ture will remove the Sttite Capital from
Harrisburg to Philadelphia, unless the
people of the rural districts protest ear
nestly.against it. It is simply a ques
tion:of bargain•and sale. "There is mo
ney in it," and that, disgraceful. as the
fact.may be, is just what makes the mare
of legislation go. Philadelphia has of
fered,a million of dollori toward erect
ing new•buildinge, on condition that she
gets the , Capital. This ie whit: appears
openly And above board. How mach is
to be paidlor the votes of the members
in.addition is notlstatect.but the general
admission:of those conversant with 'the
matter. about the Legislature, admit
that "there Is money in it." ' A resolu
tion accepting the million dollars' has
atriody•passed the Senate. The com
mittee Int 'borers , at Harrisburg confl
dentlyconnt on hiving secured over 'lO
voterffor* it in 'the` flonse. How they
were "secured" we' leave those familiar
with modern legislation' to judge. We
have not heard a single reason, political
or geographic:al, urged in favor of 'the
removal, that ought to have the weight
of a straw with an honest man. Phila
delphia wants centralization. Her ambi
tion always has been to rule the State-1.
to hive the legislation all her own way
—and how can she do this so thorough
ly as to
, hivi the Senators and Repre
sentatives of the State right under her
local influence? To accomplish this
she can well afford to spend a couple of
millions. With the capital at Phila
delphia, there will be no necessity for
her' to go to the expense of sending a
mob to ilarrisburg to influence the
election of United States Senators by
intiaildation. She can have the neces.
eery Wei mustered at an hour's notice I

TRIM SLEEP Toarraza.—The remains
of Henry Clay—after
,an interment of
twelve years—were removed last week,
upon the death of his wife, and placed
side, by side with hers, beneath the
beautiful monument erected to his mem
ory in the Lexington Cemetery. It is
stated that the wreath of immortellea
placed upon his coffin by his friend, the
kifted 'poetess, Mrs. Ann S. Stephens,
prior to , the removal of the bodY from
Washiogtoe, was found to be in an al
most perfect state of preservation, being
but little faded.; while .a gold ring, bear
ing the initials "J. W.," which rested
near the wreath, was as bright as though
jest from a jtmeler's shop.
Haan Moon CIIRRENCY.—The bill,
which has been passed by the Senate,
will probably be adopted by the House,
substituting a bronze coinage for the
present nickel cents, to be composed of
95 percent, copper, Ilan 5 per eent. tio.
There 'are to be one—cent and two—cent
pieces- I —the one—cent pieces to be a le
gal tender to the amount of ten canto,
and the two—cent pieces to be a legal
tender to the amount of twenty cents.
Counterfeiting these, coins if Loin pun
ishable by fine and impreonment.
fir The pair of great guns Which
Government is having cost—one in
New Jersey and the other in Pennsyl
vania—are to carry shot weighing about
one thoniandS pounds each, which will
penetrate the Iron armor of vessels as a
rigs •ball will go through a sheet of tin.
The%weight ofiach will bS in the vicin
ity of 110,000 pounds, and the cost of
each about. $30,000. They are to be
smooth bore.
I*-Voth branches of the Legislature
have - passed the bill providing for a
special election'throughout the State on
the first Tuesday in August next, at
which the people shall decide whether
the proposed amendment to the Consti
tution permitting soldiers to vote shall
be adopted. The Legislature Is to meet
on the '23d: day of August to receive the
returns.

MORTALITT *MORO ttxtopt P alsorisak :
Five hundred and aikty-three tinis
prisoners came down to Norfolk from
Richmond on the 17th. The men were
in a shocking condition ; sick and dying.
None of the healthy and able-bodied
persons were sent down. It is said,hu
manity induced Commissioner Onid to
send these men into our lines. The
Columbus (Georgia) Inquirer gives the
following reasons. It says :
If some arrangment for the exchange
of prisoners is not speedily affected the
confederacy will derive but little benefit
from it. A few days ago, while the cars
were at Andersonville, the editor learn
ed that the mortality among the Yan
kee prisoners at that point was frightful.
One of the , guard informed him that fifty
two died on the previous day, and that
since their arrival the average of deaths
per day was thirty-five. Stnall-pox,
pneumonia and diarrhcea are taking them
off by wholesale. The cartel takes no
account of dead men, and hence we
trust that din exchange may be resumed
twifiire the' ranks of these eight thousand
prisoners are much further depleted.
gap• The Cleveland Barrel Manufact
ory of Scovillels Luce is now turning
out flour barrels which are made wholly
by machinery, and they are all tested by
hot `water, and by blowing hot air into
them with a bellows. An engine of 25
horse power runs the whole maelidery.
There are various machines for planing,
dressing, trussing, of the staves,
which are taken in the, rough. The head
ings are prepared by machinery. A pro
per saw cuts them in circular form and
turns them into proper • shape, and the
necessary machine is on hand for the
purpose of dowelling. Even the hoop, in
all its requirements, is looked after. it
is cut oil, beveled, and punched by a
piece of mechanism so simple in its op
eration that a boy can perform the nec
essary work.
®' A terrible tragedy occurred in
Jefferson county, Ky. Two friends,
Heybeck and Frank, bad been strolling
through the garden of the former, who
cut some vine slips for the other. They
Oen went, Into the parlor. The first
intimation the family had of anything
unusual was the spectacle of Heybeck
fleeing from the house bleeding, Frank,
with ,a huge bowie knife, being in pur
suit. Frank overtook the other, stabbed
him thrice in the throat, killing him on
the spot, and then cut his own throat so
fearfullY that he instantly died. The
cause of tho quarrel is not known, and
never, perhaps, will be.
oir One day last week two colored
men whom George Richardson of New
villa Pa., had procured as recruits at
Chambersbnrg, were arrested at the De
pot while on their way_to Philadelphia
to join , the army. It appears that they
were slaves of a loyal man in Maryland,
and were arrested by order of the Prov
ost Marshall at Chambersbuurg, and re.
turned to their . masters. The affair crea
ted some excitement at the time, and
has elicited considerable discussion pro
and con.
ar The plan of confining the desig
nation of the national banks tolinmbers,
Instead of allowing them to chooso their
own names, has; it appear!, been aban
doned. The "National Exchange," of
New York, and the "Delaware County
National Bank," of Chester, Pennsylva
nia, have been anthorized, sad will pro
ceed to do business, in accordance with
the provisions of the law, under their
respective titles.
tfiriThe colored periling in Washing.

few days since, bane begun a proseen•
tion against the conductor, with a view
of having the legal question involved
settled in the Courts. • Senator Bever.
dy jOhnsou stated in the Senate the
other day, that there could , be no doubt
on the point raised—that it is perfectly
clear that colored people In the District
cannot be'turned out of any cars.
sr What to do with the emancipated
negro is speedily answering itself. In
Maryland laborers are so scarce that
it is only by abolishing slavery and en.
couraging European free immigration
that the agriculturist can till the soil
and gather his crops. There'is a project
on foot to send a ship from Baltimore
expressly for a load of farm' laborers
from Great Britain and the Continent.
War Scurvy and scrofulus eruptions
will soon cover the bodies of those brave
men who are fighting their cbtintry's

In 1858, officer Van Ness, attached
to the police force of San Francisco,
rescued a man from drowning. The res
cued man gave his name as Charles
Bernard Egerson, and offered to hand
somely reward him, bat Mr. Van Ness
refused to accept anything forhis humane
act. A short time since Mr. Egerson
died in Liverpool, and left officer Van
Ness a legacy of $50,000.
Two erring damsels at Youngstown,

The Springfield Union says that a
farmer came into that city a day or two
ago with over a ton of good butter, which
he disposed of readily at forty cents a
pound, remarking that that was enough;
and that his neighbors had more which
they would like to sell at the same price.
A cow died at Oswego, last week, of
a disease which puzzled the most ex

mortem examination disclosed the fact
that her stomach contained articles that
would assist in furnishing both a jewel
ry store and a hardware shop, including
one small steel watch-chain, twelve in
ches in length, and five ounces of ten
penny nails.
Three of the largest brains in modern
times were those of Drs. Chalmers and
Abercrombie, and Mr. Tbackeray ; all
of whom died suddenly and alone in bed.
Anti•butter-eating associations are
being formed in various parts of the
country. The present price adds a great

lawyers, physicians, dentists, editors, authors
and professors; all other persons engaged in
the leainel or other professions.
Much of this work must be performed by
the personal inluence and efforts ofladies sod
gentlemen associated, or to be associated with
the Committee in carrying out this plan.
The Committee feel the responsibility of.tha
work they have undertaken, which, to beim
cessfnl, will requir. , a very. perfect ramifica
tion of their plan, and they therefore call upon
all earnest people, to assemble themselves to
gether' in everylown,'lntitiship, - asifeonnty,
and form organizations of ladies and gentle
men to co-Rperate with' them in this peat
work and laboinf love. In the manufactu
ring counties; we coal and oil regions, and in
the apiculture' districrs,—!especisilly, let them
be organizationsin the large towns, so that
young people may have, an opportunity thus
to render assistance to their relatives and
friends fighting the battle's isf their country in
the armies of the nation.
The work of this Committee may' be OM
cuted where no other effort can ba 'Wide for
the Fair, as in the mines of the coal rigiona—
A day's earnings of the mincrs, and a day's
product of the. mines, can be obtained, where
no portable article could be procured for/trans
portation: Indeed there is no part or section
of these States where the day's labor may not
be obtained, if organi z ations can be 'formed to
reach them.
the Committee (=not close wtthout urging
upon all -.Proprietors of Establishments, the
duty of takuig prompt and energetic action to
secure the benefit of 'MR. DAY or• LABoa from
all within trait . control.
The Committee deem it unnecessary to do
more,, than thus to present the aubkct to the
people of the three States namea. in the
corning campaigns of our armies, thelabore of
the "Sanitary Commission" will he greatly
augmented. By the first of June 700,000 men
--one of the /*gest artlliPd of modern times--
will be operating in the fed. So large a force,
scattered over regions to which the men are
unacclimated, must necessarily carry along
with it a large amount of sickness, suffering
and death, to say nothing of the gathered hor
rors of the battle-field.
These sutt,rinvi it is our bounden duty, as
men and Christi-ins, to relieve. A great and
enlightened people, enjoying the blessi=gs of a
government ui weir own making. cannot re
