RTbe Courier of last week attempt
ed to cast some oot@@@@uy on the Herald
because it favors the laying aside Of mere
party organizations and party lines until
the war is over. Whatever Of obloquy
attaches to such position we will cheer
fully bear. In the language of an ex-
change we say, "no honest man has an
hour for partlzan plan or plot; no truly
loyal man will stumble amid tha graves
of our soldiers, to lay bare old party lines.
We want unity of action; now, if ever,
we should be one people, bound together
in life, and in death not divided"

poup 10 De ReoIprocIry Treatr

Down with the Reciprocity Treaty-that
9rsaty has not, as we expected, drawn Cana
da toward Us. It has, on the contrary, filled
her with malice sld insolenee. We oaanot
afford to be building up such an enemy on
our border. Before that treaty, the public
miud Of Canada was leavened 70 a very con-
siderable extent with sn annexation spirit
In fact, annexation would have been, in
time, almost q physical necessity, for the
province could not live and thrive so shat
up from the free intercourse with the cutter
world. We opened our avenues TO her, and
from that time she ceased to be discontented,
and the word annexation was never more
heard from her. With good reason. The
Reciprocity Treaty gave her all the advan-
tages that could come from a membership of
the American Union, with none Of its liabil-
ities.-M. ?. World

The death Of Prince Albert has revived
the gossip about Queen ViotOria's early
love. II is part Of the gossip of English
Court life, that the young sovereign was
warmly attached to one Of the mobiles Of
her Court, Lord ElPbinstcne, late Cover
nor General Of India; and that but for
the urgent remonstranoes Of her mother,
the Duke Of Wellington and the Cabinet
ministers, she would have married him,
notwithstanding the Law which debars an
English monsrck from forming matri-
mOnial connection with 3 subject. But
Elphinstone was sent to India, and the

FROM PORT ROYAL.
Me- W,

The Herald says:
Our news from Port Royal by the Ariel
yesterday is interesting.
The British steamer Fingal attempted to
run the blockade ct Savannah but she was
foiled. She got ready TO make her way
through Warsaw Sonnd, but information
having been received from deserter, the
gun boat Ottawa was dispatched to the
Sound, and on her arrival the rebel mos.
quito feet Of Tstnall came down to attack
her. After brief engagement shell was
put through Com. Tatnslps vessel, when he
retired. The escape Of the Fingsl was thus
frustrated.
A Spanish schooner without name, but
laden with a valuable cargo Of Havana
cigars, shoes and other stores, was chased,
run aground, and burned, ct Cumberland
Inlet, on the 10th ult., By the boats Of the
BienVille and Alabama.
Her cargo was taken of. The crew had
probably fed to the woods.

Transportation Facilities wanted in the

OIL Region.
RAILROAD FRoM THIS TO THE MOUTH OF
THE CREEK.-In q recent number Of the
Gazette, We made the following statement,
to Wit: at is now conceded that railroad
cannot be built along the creek. Not that
q railroad is not feasible; but the danger
Of Ere from the locomotive would be too
great to admit Of its being run among the
oil wells. There are times when Ii is
thought there is 90 much gas in the atmos-
phere that the fires Of locomotive would
produce an explosion. And, besides, the
territory is too valuable to admit Of its be.
ing used for such Q road" The Philsdel-
phia Mining Register italicized the state
ment and pronounced it avery remarkable
and startling assertion On reading that
decision We admitted its correctness.
What territory along small creek, in a
wooded region of Pennsylvanis, too Vslu-
able to admit Of railroad through 1t !
Such roads are run through the streets of
many of our pOpulOus cities, but cannot
be run along the valley of creek, which
two years ago was scarcely known beyond
its own bluffs. Such s fact is startling,
but nevertheless, 'iis true. Many leases
cover but q very small strip of ground.
One may have flowing or valuable pump
ing well on itself, or be In the neighbor-
hood Of such wells. II SO, ell its territory
is needed FOR buildings or storage, and not
foot Of It can BY any possibility be given
up to any other purpose. Wells are sunk
in localities within few rods, and in many
cases within q few feet Of each other, and
that, too, in every possible direction, SO
I sbof - fr difEcY11f N Wind ar,on1 than, 18th
/ a four-horss team. No room there for q
railroad.
Among those wells, on the derricks OF
| buildings, no smoking here, "no smok
ing allowed here" is oOnspiOuously placed
to notify the unintiated or the thoughtlesi
that q lighted cigar cannot be tolerated
around wells which are constantly poUrinl
forth moro or less explosive gas. In SOM
states Of the atmosphere 1t is thought un
safe TO have fire under the boilers, or any
where within one hundred feet Of certain
wells Some Of the explosions have origi
mated from dreB at considerable distance
from the wells. And there Is We thinl
little or no reason to doubt that the grea
fire ct which so many lost their lives las
spring, Waseaused by q cigar in the moutl
Of Mr.. Rouse, who was himself burned +
death. Such being the facts, what results
We ask, would be likely 10 follow the pas
sage Of the fires Of locomotive throug
an atmosphere choked with gases, as is Of
ten the case among the oil wells. A loco
motive cannot, with any safety, be ru
among those wells.

DesPerale CondIliou Of South CaroIIla.

Desperate Condition OF South Carolina
From long and interesting letters to the
New York Times, the following summary is
made of the condition of South Carolina
Verify, it is q doomed State;
Rain and dismsy reign from the sea-board
to the mountains. The political, social aud
financial ruin which South Carolina sought
to bring upon the country has first overtaken
herself The plantation lords of the sea-
isiRnds and the cosst-the richest part of the
State-havs fed in terror; the business and
commercial portion Of the States only large
city is in ashes great portion Of the poor
withstand these constitute the bulk of the
white men In the State-Tefuse to fight; the
slaves of the ssaboard-the densest slave sec.
zion Of the State-are virtually fIesi and In
snsrchy; while this element is everywhere
looked upon with distrust. The entire coast
from forty miles below to forty miles above
Port Royal, Is deserted by its white inhsbit-
ants and the rattlssnske flag and the rebel
batteries -sre swept from nearly the whole
coast Of South Carolina. The rebel soldiers
are everywhere firing the cotton-Whieb is
the wealth and life Of the State. The way in
which the rebel soldiers act seems to indicate
q perfect panic-as the pickets submit to cap
ture without even firing shot; and heavy
bodies Of rebels seamper of at the lenst indi-
cation Of an spproach Of our troops. One Of
our correspondents AYERS that not solitary
instance Of pluck has yet been exhibited oy
the South Oarolinians. The State is suffer-
ing little short Of famine; and even the coarse
food Of the slaves Is doled out In scanty "a.
tons. The planters have demanded aid from
the State, but the State is ss pOer as they,
and can afford no relief. Pqtting all tie
scattered facts together which have been col.
lected By our correspondents, from refugees,
deserters captured rebsls, and slaves, and
the condition Of South Carolina appears to
be about as bad in every respect as it could
be. There is no prospect Of change either
for the better but ss the winter advances
things are daily getting worse.

Reported Rebel Plan Of Invasion.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.July 80, The Bpl'atin
of this morning has the following iatelli
gence from authentic sources.
Among other military items as to the
proceedings Of the rebels we have some
iukling Of the subjects discussed at two
conferences Of all the principal rebel
military leaders at Richmond on the 4,l
and 9TH instauts. It is understood that
they came to the conclusion that they
must lose 80 more territory. The de-
fensiye policy Of the South thus far was
strongly attacked, and Generals Lee and
Beauregard advised the invasion of the
North from three points, viz: from Cum
ber!2nd or WiIiiamsport into Pennsyva-
MIA, from Louisville and Cincinnati into
Indiana and Ohio, ana from Paducah
and Cairo into Illinois.
1t is alleged that the following plan of
operations for the summer campaign
were agreed upon l. The immediate
obstruction Of the James River, to make
it impossible for Gen. Mcclellan to use
it for means Of communication with The
government and for tue transportation of
Feinlorcements and army supplies; 2.
The occupation of Williamsburg, York
town and the entire peninsula; 3. The
recovery Of the whole of the territory Of
Virginia, and the suppression of The Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad 4. The re-
coyery Of New Orleans, Memphis and
the Mississippi river, and the expulsion
of the Federal troops from Tennessee
and Kentucky. When these objects
have been accomplished, Generals Lee
and Beauregard proposed the fifth, to
make the Potomac and Ohio rivers at
once their basis of operations and the
frontier line, and transfer the seat of war
from Virginia to Maryland; to hurl upon
Washington from Richmond a column of
100000 picked troops, and by the cap
ture Of that city effect the Liberation Of
Baltimore, and then invade the North
from the three points above named. BY
thus becoming the invaders, the rebels
hope TO make it necessary for US to keep
at home for the defense of our cities,
100000 troops.

to some friend that the strict rules of mil
itary examination will exclude from the
ranks, and join that immense army Of
patriots now being raised, and which is
to strike terror into the hearts OF the
rebel horde that now threaten to overrun
the north. Rally under the old flag, and
give a heroic self-sacrifcing character tc
our new companies and regiments that
will command the re- poet of every sin
cere patriot.
