etectually prevent the same" instead of
leaving the subject, as under the old Consti-
tuition, to the discretionary action of Con-
gress. In view of the persistent clamor and
misrepresentation of the Black Republicans
as to the purpose of the cotton States to re-
open the foreign slave-trade, it was well,
perhaps, for the benefit of our friends in the
border slave States, that the trade was pro-
hibite6 by constitutional provision. 1t
spikes gun of the enemy that was calcula
ted to annoy US.
The power, conferred upon the Congress
of the Confederacy, 'to prohibit the intro
duction of slaves from any State not MEM
Der of this Confederacy," conveys gentle
hint 10 our brethren of the non-seceding
slave States, that the time may come, if they
adhere to the enemy, when we may find it
necessary, in selfdefence, to close our mar
kets against their slaves.
The old Constitution forbids any State to
keep troops, or ships of war, in time Of
peace" This prohibition is not contained
in the Provisional Constitution; and It is
obvious, that, under existing circumstances,
it would have been unwise to have retained
It.
That feature of the new Constitution
which relates to the federal Judiciary may be
passed by with the single remark that the
courts contemplated by it are entirely pro-
visiOnal, and will be superseded by the per-
manent Constitution. The Jurisdiction Of
the federal courts is unchanged.

LOGS DEEP UNDER GROUND
The Marietta Home News says:
In boring for oil, some curious
things are turned up to the light
of the upper world. In sinking
aw ell near Olive, belonging to
Schofeld & Palmer, a log of wood
supposed to be hickory, fifteen
inches in thickness, was passed
through at the distance of 1877
feet from the surface--How
came it there! Ten feet below
this, these gentlemen struck oilof
a beautiful red color, and very
transparent, and supposed to be
unusually valuable.
On red run, near Lowell, a
log some fourteen inches in thick
uess, was pierced at a distance of
nearly 100 feet below the surface
This log was supposed to be cy-
nross--a kind of wood that does
not grow near that locality.
