Tie FrnnIrinr Ahnaa.

The Senate heretofore have twice passed
bill to abolish this abominable nuisance. If
honorable Senators voted in good faith, now
is the time to prove their faith by their
works, in passing the House bill just as it
was sent to them. If Senators agree to any
amendment whatever, the bill will probably
be lost by juggle between committees of
conference. From the way action on the bill
in the Senate is delayed there is reason to
fear such is the intention Of the honorable
gentlemen who are each receiving, in one
way and another, from the public, $1,000 a
year. The correspondent of the New York
EVenin0 Post writes, on the I'd February;
1t is not probable that the ranking privi'
lege will be abolished at the present session.
The two branches of Congress will disagree
as to amendments, and the bill will probably
tumble to the ground.
A new postal bill will be presented TO the
House in . few days, prepared, it is said,
under the auspices Of the Postal Association.
II will provide for the reduction of letter
postage to two cents, and for the delivery of
all letters in cities free of charge. The rates
of postage on printed matter will also be
changed.

Barley and Rre Coffee.

The extraordinary high price of coffee has
induced the substitution of wheat, rye and
Barley to produce drink to take the place
of coffee. The demand for these articles is
increasing, and probably not more than one
third of the amount of real coffee is now sold
per week that was sold previous to the cof-
fee tariff. To prepare the grain for use it is
first soaked in water until little softened,
then dried and roasted as we roast the coffee
kernel. 1t is then ground. Some put in
about one half or one-third Of genuine coffee,
and seem to think the beverage is equally
as good as real coffee. Our opinion is there
nothing equal to the genuine article; but the
above substitutes may answer very we'll for
table drink. Coffee is coffee, and beans,
peas, rice, barley and wheat can not be con-
verted into that article; it would require a
very skillful "prestigiator to do that.

1t seems the remarkable religious "dis-
ease" called the Jerks" is prevailing to such
an extent in 10 Davies County, Illinois, and
is producing such excitement, that com.
mittee have been raised to investigate the
malady and have made report. The Clerks"
were introduced duringa protracted meeting
in the township Of Chelsea, in that county,
in the fall of 1860. The meeting
wss under the management of the Rev Mr.
Will and wife; the woman having principal
direction. The first person attacked was a
girl of fifteen, of good character and family,
and then other young women became affected.
These victims supposed they were thus af-
fected by some other person, and that if such
person would come outand embrace religion,
the Jerks" would cease, and there were cir
cumstsnces that went to prove this. Chill
dren have in two cases been attacked, but
were relieved by being kept from the meet
ing. In almost every family that has at
tended upon the meeting have the jerks pre-.
vailed, but in none severely save those who
have attended them continually. The Jerks
commence, in some cases, by trembling, il
others by hccoughs, and in the paroxysn
the victims do themselves bodily injury, anG
some act as if in an epileptic fit; some arr
thrown down, and one case of insanity hat
| occurred.

SOcinbIe ISLANDERS.

President Lincoln's family does not escape
the full amount of slanders-for, of course,
they are nothing else-which obtain cur
rency through various and sundry back doors
and passages. There are talks about missing
chests of plate to account for the omission of
the usual annual dinner to Diplomatists,
Judges of the Court Of Appeals and members
of Congress; one-bottle champagne break
fssts to chevslier reporters; crocksry sales
and diamond purchases; and hodge podge
of things in general, into all which an Invest
igating Committee is to search-when the
the army has gone to Richmond. President
Lincoln has a hard time of it now, with
sleepless nights and anxieties about the war
and country, but what aOiH he suffer when
the war of the Jenkinses begins at home.

Death of ]. II. smith, ESQ.

The State Journal announces the death of
James Haddock Smith, Esq, of Columbus,
on the I'd inst, in the thirty-ninth year of
his age. Mr.. Smith was a member of the
House of Representatives during the session
of 1856 Z, and was one of the most indus
trious, useful members, winning the esteem
and friendship of the entire General Assem-
bly,. The Journal says:
But few months since Mr.. Smith suc-
fered an irreparable bereavement ia the
death of his wife, a most estimable lady
daughter of Governor Medary), from which
shock he seems never to have recovered.
He died leaving four most lovely and inter-
esting little children, to whose nurture he
had most tenderly devoted himself since the
decease of their mother.
The somewhat sudden death of Mr.. Smith
has cast gloom over all the city. AT the
time of his decease he was Clerk of the
Court of Franklin County, and was held in
universal esteem both for his rare virtues ai
a citizen and his excellent qualities as al
officer,

put down. Traitors must meet the punish-
ment this crime merited.
Z Mr.. Stanton said that with regard to the
expenditures for carrying on the war, the
people might rely upon the assurance that
every dollar expended should represent pow
der and ball exploded in the faces of the enc
mics of the country, directed by the brain
and muscle Of the nation; and it would be
shown that the patriotism of the American
people was equal to the emergency. He said
that the question simply resolved itself into
this-that the loyal men OF the nation must
either crush out this unholy rebellion in all
its parts, or themselves become the slaves Of
traitors. AS to the determination of the
people, IL was question easily solved, and
he had no fear Of the final result.
The interview with the Hon. Secretary
and other officials was very satisfactory to
the Committee. Mr.. George Graham is still
in Washington engagedin pressing the claims
of our city in the same direction as that
urged by the committee just returned.

Our venerable Uncle is respectfully asked
to consider whether gentleman who charged
the people of this county the moderate sum
of $64, ,626 for his services two years as Audi

General siseps Plan Of a CampnIGu.


The Volksbldn of this city publishes some
extracts of private correspondence between
General Sigel and friend in New York. In
one of those letters, after giving very sor-
rowful picture of military matters in Mis-
souri,, he expresses his opinion Of further
operations as follows:
"Were my advice asked, my plan would
soon be fixed. l would leave from fifteen to
twenty thousand good troops, with corre-
spondingly strong body OF cavalry, in order
to conduct the guerrilla warfare upon
larger scale, pursue the enemy without giv-
ing them time for rest or shelter, and to pro-
tect the fortified cities Of st. Louis aud JEFF
ferson City. All other troops would as ex-
peditiously as possible lead to Kentucky,
form a junction with Buel-l00 600 men
strong-and press forward upon Nashville
and Columbus, toward the Tennessee River,
to destroy the communication between NASH
Vile aud Knoxville, and threaten Memphis.
This movement must be supported and
fsnked By means Of corps to maueuver to-
ward the south. east, and by another smaller
body, between the Tennessee and the Missis-
sippi. Such an advance movement as this,
with 100 900 men, would render all success
full opposition impossible. The enemy would
be compelled to evacuate Columbus and fight
battle at Memphis for Memphis ls but Ill
fortified and poorly garrisoned. Our troops
must of necessity have advanced far, and at
tacks upon our fanks might well be feared.
Nevertheless, were the movement carried
out with promptness and energy, it would
throw the enemy into confusion and distract
his plans. Besides, a man must venture
something in order to succeed and if this
movement is too far, the direction can be at
any moment changed toward the East,
aud our troops appear between Columbus and
Memphis"

Proponed Reduclion of soIdiers, Pnr.

Congress has proposition before it to re
duce the pay of soldiers. Apart from the
policy of the act, it will be one of injustice.
These men enlisted with the promise of $l3
per month and rations. This was part of
their contract with the Government, and the
latter has no right to change it, without at
the same time giving the soldiers the alter
native Of leaving the service or re-enlisting
under the new terms. The pay of our SOL
diers is higher than in any other army, and
the cost of the war in the same proportion.
But this presents a reason for wasting no
time in prosecuting the war, and not for cut.
ting down the pay after the service is en-
tered into Philadelphia Ledger.
The pay of each Congressman annually,
including salary, mileage and books, is prob
ably $4,000 or Sc, which may very prop.
srly and ought to be reduced at the present
session. But $l3 per month is little enough
for the patriotic soldier who has volunteered
his services and suffers every hardship, and
freely pours out his blood for his country.
We have not noticed any bill of retrench-
ment in which it was proposed to reduce the
pay of Congressman. Gentlemen may be
assured their constituents expect the pay OF
members of Congress to be reduced. Those
who oppose a reduction will be remembered
| at the ballot. box.

The Hon. Mr. Diven, member of Congress
from New York, in q letter written for pub
lication, says that the President stated the
other day in his presence that there was
probably but one man in the country more
anxious for a battle than himself, and that
man was Mcclellan. "The President repu-
dated, in words of withering rebuke, the
charge that he, or Mr.. Seward, or General
Mcclellan, were tampering or delaying out
of any consideration for rebels or rebel insti-
tutions, or that they INDUCED any thought
Of ending the war by any means other than
conquest on the battle field"

An effort will be made at this session Of
Congress to erect the Agricultural Bureau of

Such a measure is earnestly pressed by all
the Agricultural Societies of the United

intelligent citizen. Under the direction of
Mr.. Newton, the agricultural interests of the
country have been zealously cared for, and
benefits of inestimabe value conferred on the
farming classes, whose prosperity underlies
all other growth and wealth of nations. 1t is

milton of its national importance.
