Eight Great Blunders.

We give below an article from the columns
of the Religious Herald, a Baptist paper of
Richmond, Va. 1t shows go much more
GOODNESS of judgment and candor of mind
than we are in the habit of finding in our
Southern exchanges that we deem it worthy
of special notice. 1t says the South has
made at least eight great blunders, and
enumerates them as follows;
l. In firing upon Fort Sumter.
2. In believing there would be a divided
North, and an apathetiC Federal Govern
ment
3. In believing that they would have the
hearty sympaihies of Europe.
A. In believing that the bonds cf their
Confederacy would readily be taken in
Europe.
8. In believing that the military power o.
the North would be directed in a crusade
against slavery, rather than employed fol
the overthrow of treason, and the establish
ment of the Union and the Constitution.
g. In believing that Northern courage and
physique were no match for Sou hern, oil
that in battle one Southerner squaled five
Yankees.
2. In believing that the flag of the Cotton
Oligarchy would wave above the Capital al
Washington, and the roll Of slaves be called
on Bunker Hill.
g. In believing that the fancied omnipo-
tence Of cotton would dominate the COM
meIce Of the world.

The Adau,s Rxpress Company.


In our issue Of Saturday we announced
that the Adams Express Company had taken
possession of their new and commodious
quarters in Pixies Opera house Building.
The opening was inaueurated in brilliant
STYLE. A bountiful repast was set out which
was heartily psrtaken OF by the thousands
who flocked through the commodious and
admirably arranged rooms. The Newport
Band was present and enlivened the "scene"
with most excellent music.
One feature of the fixtures" we tn ought
an admirable one, which shows, too, the com
pleteness of the arrangements of the Com
paDy for transmitting news as well as mer-
chandise; to.wit: that ten different telegraph
wires center in the Office of the Company. 1t
seems as though nothing has been left un-
done which can contribute to the efficiency
or promptness Of the Company. As is gen.
orally known, the Western Department of
Adams Express Company is now and has
been for some ten years under the charge of
Mr.. Alfred Gather, a gentlemen who has
proved to be fully competent to the intricate
and extended business of this great insti-
tuition" In their new and commodious quar-
ters the Company will be able to still further
accommodate their thousands of patrons, and
to conduct the business with greater salts
faction to themselves.

This material has come largely into use as
an Illuminating agent, and is regarded as
among the cheapest which can be used in the
family. Some recent explosions" said TO
be of coal oil, have caused general inquiry
whether pure coal oil will explode. We shink
1t will not. 1t may not be generally known,
but such, we are assured, is a fact, that
nearly all coal oil now on sale contains
more or less of the explosive element called
"benzole," and those using the article should
satisfy themselves on this point before TAX
ing it to their houses; or should ascertain
the character of the oil before it is put into
the lamps for use. To determine this fact,
take spoonful Of oil and apply lighted
match if it burn rapidly, reject it altogether
as unsafe. The best quality of coal oil will
burn, if tested in this manner but the differ
ence between oil without "benzole" can be
easily determined by the nature of the blaze.
Pure coal oil will burn with steady blaze,
while "beDzole" flashes like pOwder-and in
fact it appears to be nothing more or less
than liquid gunpowder; and SO great is the
difference shown upon applying this test,
that no one can be deceived. The greater
the proportion of "benzole' in the oil, the
cheaper it can be afforded TO consumers, and
yet it is the most expensive in the end, as il
burns away in the lamp much faster than the

A Sad Warning,

The Boston Herald records the sad end OF
q country girl, who had come to Boston to
work. Her parents were well of. She fell
into bad ways, and was taken sick with the
typhoid fever, and, after lingering for g
week, died. During herillness she positively
refused to have any one write to her
parents, or to speak the name of them or Of
her sisters in her presence. At times, when
she probably thought of home, she would
cry and sob in great agony; but death pu
an end to her crime and suffering. The da!
following her death she was buried; and th
mourDers who followed this once beautiful
girl of twenty summers to her last resting
place were four abandoned women. A sad
end and sad warning TO our young girls
who are continually flirting the streets with
those gay deceivers, whose only aim is their

REMAINS OF ZoLLICoFFER AND PEYToN.-A
letter from Munfordville, January 80, says:
"The remains of General Zolicoffer and
Lieutenant Peyton arrived at this place at
twelve o'clock to. day. They were escorted
to division head quarters by Company E.
FOrty-ninth Ohio, Captain Bartlette. Gen

They will start early tomorrow morning for

General Zollicoffer's surgeon was very much

The WAY Ir Ought to be Done.

The officers who led the Union troops at
Mill Springs have proved their ability as
commanders, and such signal success de-
serves some recognition from the Govern
ment. Instead of filing up all the import
ant posts in the army with politicians who
have no military knowledge and no military
experience, the places ought to be reserved
for officers who distinguish themselves on
the field. This would stimulate all the off =
GERS to greater exertion and the same prin-
ciple carried down into the rsnks-every
soldier who pre- eminently distinguishes him
self to be rewarded by promotion-would
produce the best effect upon the army.

Canadian CITY to be Sold.

The pleasant city of London, our neighbor
across the Lakes (says the Cleveland Herald,
is in the hands of the Sheriff, and about to
be sold out. The sacrifice grows out of a
railroad ambition. Some years ago London
borrowed from the Municipal Loan Fund the
sum of $375,OOO. This and another large
amount, making in all $685., 900, were sunk
in the construction of the London and Port
Stanley Railway. The road, only about a
dozen miles in length, connects the city with

Rev. Mr.. Conway on President Lincoln.

Rev. NJ. D. Conway of this city recently
delivered lecture in Boston, before the
Emancipation League. A Boston paper de.
scribes the lecture as one of "beauty, force,
wit, pstire and eloquence."
he gave a detailed account of an interview
with the President. 1t tappeared to him thst
Mr.. Lincoln would like to have God on his
side, but he mast have Kentucky. He was
honest and sagscious, but subject to injurious
influences, within the White House. If the
war should be concluded, and the unmiti-

ardent Universalist would require a special
dispensation to save the memory of the man
from eternal damnation.

From the latest Southern newspapers we
CLEAN the following items


From the latest Southern newspapers we
CLEAN the following items;
DANGEROUS SYMPTOM.
The Memphis (TenD.) appeal denounces
the act Of the rebel Congress- prohibiting the
publication of military news as "a symp-
tom dangerous to Republican freedom" ard
adds:
Itis the indirect effect, ifit is not the con-
cealed purpose of this measure, TO restrain
the free expression Of journalistic opinion
upon the conduct of the war, inasmuch as the
idea of criticism involves the necessity very
frequently Of abiding to the movements of
the army, as in the case of the campaign in
Missouri and Western Virginis. In such q
light we must regard the movement as an
attempt to abridge freedom Of opinion and Of
the press, under the same specious apology
of elf-preservation which dictates the vile
censorship over newspapers in France and
Austria and which was urged to justify the
suspension of the writ Of ha6eds corpus and
the indiscriminate incarceration of mere po-
litical offenders throughout the dominions OF
Abraham Lincoln.
The same paper raps JEFF Davis Il Co. over
the knuckles:
The administration, wrapt up in the army
operations on the Potomac, may see fit to
neglect the war in Missouri, and allow gal
liant people to go on in a struggle, fruitless
unless aided, and yet the press, as the potent
voice of the people, be forbidden to mention
the mere retreat of General Price TO Spring
field, or to proclaim the necessity of his hay
ing reinforcemeLts.
REBEL KNLIsTMENTs EXPIRING.
A Pensacola letter, dated January Is, in
the Mobile Register, has this statement:
Several companies of the First Alabama
Regiment go out of service to morrow most
of the men have re-enlisted for the war, but
are allowed thirty days furlough TO visit
home and attend to business matters before
resuming the sword or musket. They are
veterans of twelve months, and their regi.
mental banner bears honored inscriptions.
The Ninth Mississippi, also twelve month
CORDS, has been reorganlzed for the war
under the chivalric Chalmers. This regiment
too, is mostly on furlough, and is to concen.
trate at Corinth, Mississippi, probably fol
immediate active duty, in different portion
of the Confederscy. A number of the regi
ments leave tonight for that point, under
