are aware of the fact that only two railroads in the
South use this oil exclusiyely-yz: the New Or
leans, Jackson and Great Northern and the New
Orleans, Opelousas and Great Western Railroad
Companies. And every practical man must know
that if oil is satisfactorily used for the space of
two years, this oil has been on the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern Railroad, it certainly
cannot be an innate fault if it does not satisfy the
requirements of other roads. The difficulties en-
countered in the bringing forth of new and
notable enterprise have now been entirGly sur
mounted; The practical department is now under
thoroughly competent management and a Uniform
quality of Oil is made.
We understand that complaints have been made.
Perhaps these complaints are in some instances
Just, right and proper Bat is this reason why
the Of this oil should be, to any considerable
extent abandoned? Let us ask question. is
there single railroad, South Or North, that has
not at some trno used an inferior quality Of lard
oil? If the answer be i'll the affirmative, has it or
they abandoned such use? Sensible business men
would have returned the article to those from
whom they purchased it, ard ordered a new sup
ply. Now, then, why should not our home enter
prises be treated with the cordially extended to
the manufactures located in a section Of country
inincal to the growth and advancement Of South
crn enterprise?
We put the question to every President Super
intendent and individual member Of every board
of direction Of railroad companies in the South.
Let each one reflect on the fragrant injustice he is
doing his own interest as well az that of the South.
Let his sense Of Belfnterest, self.protection,
sWer.
The oil manufactured by the company is recon-
mended solely for use on the car boxes, and for
this purpose it can be relied upon. Possibly it may
require more care than is ordinarily used in pack
ing boxes with other oils, i'll order to exhibit its
superiority but it must be remembered that all
new Inventions Improvements require care to
bring ont their merits. So far as VIC have ascer-
tanned, this oil has fully met the standard Of its
claims, We do not wish to convey the idea that it
is necessary to deyiate from the ordinary manner
Of packing boxes for such is not the fact. STILL
while it might work the better by careful packing
no deviation is made the roads where it is now
used.
The Southern Oil Company have reduced the
price of their car box oil to IS cents per gallon for
all railroads which wish to adopt it. We earnestly
hope fiat in the future this Southern made oil will
meet with such consumption upon Our own Southern
soil, that the Southern Oil Company will not be
compelled, for luck Of proper encouragement at
home, 10 seek market for their produce abroad.

The following sensible eXpressionsfron the Phil
adelphia Journal, paper which supported Bell
and Everett in the late Presidential campaign, are
decidedly appropriate:
Tie pettiness of our politics, and the gullibilty
of our people, are again very strikngly exempt
fed in the great fuss that is made about Major An
derson. What pray, has this gentleman done to
set the whole country in such a blaze of excite
ment? He removed small torce--a mere cor
poral's guard-from a weak fort, which was OBJ
viously untenabe, to one that was impregnable-
and this he did in pursuance of general Instructions,
given in view of a certain contingency, by the Sec
rotary of War. There was but little scope left to
individual Judgment, any petty officer, invested
with similar discretionary power, would instinct
lively have arrived at the same result. The enter
prise involved risk or danger worth mentioning,
and to talk in reference to it oil CALAMITY and
heroism is simply ridiculous. To hold heroism so
Cheap and to base any claims to military distinc-
ton upon an incident so small as the removal OF
sixty men, under the circumstances which existed,
from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter, is disparaging
to the profession of the soldier.
Major Anderson, we have not the least doubt, is
an honorable gentleman, and brave and able Of
tcer but it is doing him great injustice to measure
his ability and merits by the recent movements Ill
the harbor OF Charleston. The truth is, that the
occasion has been seized upon by horde of polit
ical shutters and trcksters throughout the North
who for want of something else, lnsolenty avail
themselves of Major Anderson's name and acts,
for base partizan purposes These wretched DEM
agogues, who fanaticised the masses OF the North,
and inamed their passions against the South in the
last campaign, conscious of their guilt in having
brought upon the country the disasters which
threaten to overwhelm it, are now laboring to di-
vert the attention of the people from this fact in
order to escape responsibility for their crimes.
That they succeed in their efforts as well as they
do is rather sad commentary on the Wanted wis
dom and intelligence of the people, and their ca
pacity for self government
Such exhibitions only furnish the press Of Europe
with abundant material for derison and the future
historian, who shall read in the American newspa
pers and periodicals of the day, the thousands OF
| long and flaming accounts of Major Anderson's eX
plot in the harbor Of Charleston, the honors paid
| 10 him. the resolutions of thanks and admiration
passed in public meetings, courts, and Legislative
assemblies, the firing of cannon, the presentation
of swords, etc., etc, will be at loss to find out il
what, beyond the quietromoval of military guart
from one post TO another, those exploits really con
sisted. This little {" Fort Sumter" business has al
ready created more noise and talk on the subjec
than was caused in France aud the whole Of Eu
rope by the battle of Solferno, which changed
| the political relations of a continent, and formed
an epoch in the worlds history.

CLOSING OF THE PUBLIC ScHooh The
Lancasterian Free School, on Washington
street, was closed this morning, owing to the
resignation of Mr.. Samuel L. Beach, who
has been principal of the institution for
some years past. It is presumed that this
closing is merely temporary, and that upon
the election. On tomorrow night, of new
B ,ard of Guardians, another Teacher will
at once he chosen, and the School reopened.
The County Schools, supported by the
State Literary Fund, were all closed at va
cation, and have not been since reopened.
The Lancasterian School was founded by
Gen. Washington, who donated for this pnr-
pose, el,O00, Virginia currency in 1885,
The School was opened on the 10th of
April, 1856, its first Teacher being Philip
Webster, with twenty Tree scholars, mostly
the sons Of widows. Since that time it has
passed nearly three quarters of a century OF
benifcent usefulness.
In 1929, the School was surrendered by
the Trustees Of the Washington Fund to the
Common Council. as the stock having been
invested in the Bank of Alexandria was lost.
Since that time the S;hoo has been a charge
upon the City Treasury. Its Teachers have
been elected by Board Of Guardians, them
selves chosen by the City Council. The
Guardians chosen in March last are: Messrs
Sylvester Scott, Ewd F. Wilmer, G. S. Hal
lowell, VIM. N. Berkeley, and John West.
