Washington Again i'm Danger.

The ReDuJhcan, organ OF the Administra
tion at Washington, on the lst inst, printed
elaborate articles against the further advance
Of Gen Burnside, lest Washington might be
attacked. If Gen. Lee would engage to pre-
serve the public buildings in Wa ashington, and
capture the occupants, we should, if the ar
gumcnts of the Republican be correct, be in
favor of saying to Gen. Buns dc, con to
Richmond" Before Mcclellan was removed
Washington was thought to be safe and the
Confederate armies in danger. 1t has requir
ed but a little while to turn the tables, and
the fault is not with Gen. Burnside, but will
Those who direct his movements and whose
business it is TO supply him with forage, ra
tions and equipments. Had these been sup
piled, the Rupuahannock would have 5eci
crossed the day the surrender Of Frederick $
burg was demanded, and the concentration o
the Confederate troops between that place
and Richmond could have been prevented.

Negro voting is not the only fraud the Alb
olltloniSts of this District were guilty Of
There were, in OborIn, beside these traudu-
lcnI votes by negroes, many vo ties pollcd by
white men Who had no legal light TO exercise
the right OF suffrage in that pace; and an es-
innate alciully made deyelopcs the fact, that
Bliss actual majority in the district is not
less Than TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY votes. We
believe that il exceeds this estimate rs frauds
similar TO those OF Obcru were practiccd in
several townships of Loraiu county. II these
frauds bad not occurred, and had the drafted
men been sent out OF the Abolition counties
OF Lolain and Medina before tho election, as
uey we've from the Democratic counties of
Holmes, Ashland and Wayne, We do not
doubt that Judge Bliss would have had ma.
IJ"uty o! not less than one thousand votes.

Events pursue each other so rapidly
that we would not venture to surmise
what will be the next encroachment upon
constitutional liberty. 1t may be forci-
BILE emancipation, to be followed by the
obliteration of State lines, and with the
last the erection of monarchy; but we
shall see. We have termed the resolu-
ton of Monday an Abolition absurdity,
for SO we regard it. The States named
in it, though true to the Government,
are yet jealous Of their sovereignty, and
will scorn as they have right to scorn,
such unwarrantable intermeddling. The
resolution has no practical force what
ever, and a Congressional ehactr. gs &,
initiate or influence the cxtincs ii
slavery therein, will, we appfeheud
prove a nullity in its operation, though
it will in time return to plague and over
whelm its authors and advocates. --Han-

ATTENTION,
ALL YE LOVERS OF GOOD COFFEE!
Save your Money. and always have
Good Coffee!


HNIIIS is a little invention that every woman
IL requires, as an article Of economy and
convenience. The coffee roasted in this ma
chine is not only better aud far healthier, but
much stronger, as the aroma is retained and
not destroyed in the roasting 1t therefore re-
quires less coffee.
One pound of coffee can be roasted in from
ten to twelve minutes, and two pounds in
twenty minutes. II is SO constructed, that the
coffee is kept constantly in motion, and expos
ed to the same degree Of heat consequently,
all the grains are roasted alike, and have ex-
actly the same fayor--no foreign favor being
acquired from oycr-roasting, or not roasting
enough A glass window is prepared at the
end Of the cylinder, SO that the coffee may be
inspected Just as much as II il was in an open
vessel, obvating the danger Of roasting too
much, and the aroma passing off, which would
necessarily occur did the machine have TO be
opened whenever you wished TO inspect the
coffee. 1t will, beyond all doubt, make bet
ter coffee and more Of it.
w. A. CUMMING has purchased the ex-
elusive right 10 manufacture and sell the above
machine for this montgomery county, and

Another Abolition Absurdlty,

1t will be seen by reference TO the
report of Congressional proceedings, that
on Monday last resolution was adopted
in the House of Representatives, which
indicates the determination Of the party
in power to interfere directly with the
institution Of slavery in Tic States that
cherish 1t. Who will attempt hereafter
to defend the " Republican" organization
against the charge Of Abolitionism or
rather what conservative man, deluded
into the support Of the Chicago Platform,
under the belief that it was consistent
with the Constitution, and that through
It's operations all interests would be pro-
tected, the common prosperity receive a
fresh impetus, and no right Of any kind
be infringed, consent longer to co operate
with those whose acknowledged leaders
hold the written law as Of value only so
long aud so far as it may seem to bar
monte with their sectional objects, and
who torture and peryert it TO suit their
views, or violate it openly in furtberance
Of their aims--the freedom Of the black
race and destruction Of States rights
This has been the real purpose Of the
managers, whose scheme received form
through the convention at Chicago 49,
Concocted by Greeley and his fanatical
associates and co.conspirators, It was de-
signed 10 play into the hands Of the
worst political abomination that ever
cursed country.

[From The New York World, April 10. !
The Pittsburg Landing Battle.

But we cannot blind ourselves with
the ungracious truth that this victory
was needlessly purchased at. frightful
risk, and at fearful sacrifice of life. 1t
is folly to permit mere success, however
obtained, to shut out all concern for mis-
management. That there has been the
grossest mismanagement in this case no
rejecting man can deny. Pittsburg Land
ing is only Balls Bluff over again, with
different result-that different result
attributable to the. fact that in the one
case it happened that achievements ar
rived in time, and not in the other. As
at Balls Bluff, 80 here, comparatively
slender force was landed on the enemy's
side Of the river, without transports by
which to retreat if necessary, or be
promptly reinforced. The Confederate
Generals, with their quick eye, in the
one case as in the other, saw the adyan-
tage. They hurled in their overpower-
ing numbers-at Balls Bluff with abso-
lutte success; here with a SUCCESS that
came near being absolute, for the report
states that sat 5 o'clock the Confede-
rates had forced our left wing back, SO
as to occupy fully two-thirds Of our camp
and we're fighting their way forward with
a desperate degree Of confidence in their
efforts to drive US into the river At
that time, nothing but the knowledge
that reinforcements were on the other
side Of the river, seeking some mode Of
crossing, prevented most appalling rout.
Extremely criticaF are the words Of
the report. Thousands Of our men were
weltcriDg in their blood, and other
thousands we're utterly "worn out by
hard fighting" One almost holds his
breath as he reads it. In spite Of all the
torrents Of blood, it was frightfully
narrow escape. Now, somebody must be-
responsible for all this. No sane man
will have the hardihood to pretend that
with the prodigious numerical superiori-
ty Of the Federal army, and with mex
haustible supplies Of vessels in the West
crn waters, for transports, there was any
necessity fer putting or leaving an army
division in so unmilitary and dangerous
position. One of two things: either
these 3S, 900 men under General Grant
shauld not have been landed on the
western side Of the river at all, with
Beauregards army within days march,
or the supporting columns should have
been close at hand. In other words, the
fault is with Gen. Grant, who crossed too
soon, or with General Buell., who arrived
too late. Which is the real fact we can
not say. But, in the absence Of all d.
rect light upon the subject, the proba-
bilities are with the latter branch Of the
alternative.
