Who is to blame if the people are
growing weary and heart sick2 It is
that portion of the press and that class
Of politicians that have hitherto assur-
ed the people that the suppression Of
the rebellion would be comparatively
easy. This assurance was the offspring
of either ignorance, or ofknayery, and
therefore, they who made it are disqual-
ifed to Be the leaders and teachers of
the people. 1T is not long since that
we were told that there was no hkeli-
hood whatever that there would be any
interference on the partof England or
any other foreign power, in behalf Of
the South. England especially was
represented as friendly to the Federal
government; but now we are told that
"while we wait on the Potomac, Yanoey
advances in London, t" and that ''every
consideration Of public economy and
public honor--every consideration Of
humanity and justice--we may even
say the existence of this government
itself-demands immediate action, in
Virginia, and an overwhelming defeat
of the enemy s OF e''
If we accept this as true statement
Of the condition Of the Federal Govern
ment, it must be confessed that it is in
a most critical condition. We are not,
however, prepared to believe that ''the
existence of the government" hangs
upon Immediate action in Virginia,
and an overwhelming defeat Of the en-
emy. u [Chillicothe Advertiser.

Even men who do not oppose the
idea of emancipation, upon somoreaec-
ton are Constrained to conclude that
"the whole theory of emancipation, as
it presents itself now is uncertain and
fanciful." Forney% Press declares
that: .s
Emancipation now means separa-
ton in the future. Accept the argu-
ment of those who insist upon uncon-
ditional emancipation being made a
part of our military policy, and, the
logical consequence of their argument
will be plea for separation; for dis
solution of the Union; recognition of
the Southern Confederacy. Bycman~
cipation we mean a general edict pro-
claiming the slaves of the whole South
ern people to be free. We must either
do this or nothing" sfeJ
We commend this quotation to the
favorable consideration of those who
attach Importance to the sayings of
Forney's Press. The Press would
hardly cspouse this position, unless its
editor-in>chief were pretty well convin-
ced that it is the position President
Lincoln viii maintain. aha

The people might as well make up
their minds first as last, to restore the
Democracy to position. Their loss Of
position, lost to the country-it can
only be restored by their ascendency,
The tendency in that direction is but
proof of this. With every democrat
called to position, the country breathes
more hopefully and confidently. This
everybody knows-every body feels.
Then why shut our eyes to the impor-
tant fact? IF Mr.. Lincoln was, to-
day, to dismiss every Republican
around him, and call to his advice
Democrats of KNOWN FAITH, there
would be general rejoicing through
out the country, and lively hope of
a better future. The impression is very
universal that if the Democracy can
not save this nation-it is gone---irre-
trievably gone.-[Crisis. &

jUrrci-, Va, Angus: 4, 1852.
A poor, dilspidated looking indivi Iva,
came into Suffolk this morning. direct from
Richmond, having received hi1 discharge
from the Rebel service on account of age
and sickness He has been with the Twelfth
Virginia since his enlistment, and was at the
battle of Malvern Hill. He states that if we
had followed up their retresting masses we
could have occupied Richmond that night.
He says the slaughter on their side was
dreadful, our shot and Fhell taking effect at
every discharge. Gen. Huger did not want
old Magrudcr to shove the men on to the at
tack, as he kWcir the batteries firing st them
and nothing could stop them.
The man who stated this to us was quite
intelligent, and did not seem inclined to
brag, like the masses here. He has wife
and five children in Norfolk and his great
desire was to get home 10 see them. He de
plorcd the war. and was very bitter on the
Southern politicians and the Northern
Abolitionists He thought that South Car
olina ought to be sunk into the sea.
The rations the Rebel soldiers now receive
per diem, is onc-half pound of meat, cigh-
teen ounces of flour and little salt The

fare, and he thinks 10y October next they

Weekly Review Of the Oil Busi-

The Oil City Register has the following |
interesting report Of the oil operations for
last week:
"Sincc our last the oil business has ava
kcnCd somewhat from its Rip Van Wrinkles |
like apathy, and is in healthier state than |
for some time past. Prices are ruling firm |
at 80 a GO cents per barrel at the wells, with |
an upward tendency. Some parties are !
asking 81. There is but small amount |
offered, and buyers at low figures are quite |
numerous.
During the past week there was quite a |
fluttcr in the oil market. owing to the fact .
that 1000 barrel well was struck" on the

anything. Many other localities exhibit the

~" THREE COMPANIES FROM THIS
CuUNTY.-WC are pleased to learn that this
county will have three companies in the
field, one more than its quota under the
rcquisition of the President One of these
companies, numbering 1875 men, organized
at Watsontown, passed through this place
on Thursday, having split from the Milton
company and set up for Themselves, The
Milton company. we learn, has now united
with the Northumberland recruits, about
20 in number and others, and is full. The
Sunbury company and the Shamokin will,
or have united, and will be commanded by
Capt Rccdcr, of Shamokin, and Licutcnants
Jones and Brice, Of Snydertown and Sunbury
Should another company be raised, fol
the war, there will be no necessity fol
drafting, so far as this county is concerned
II is therefore proposed, and we think very
properly, that the proposed bounty of SO
to each member of the two companies
should be divided among the four, giving
$25 to each. The only objection that coulc
be urged against the getting up of fou
companies ia, that some of the anti-wa
aympathizcrs would escape being drafted.
