THe war.

The old Democratic organ of Lycoming
county has the following forcible and SEN
sible remarks, worthy of consideration by
all who cherish that name
eve have. from the first threat of re-
bellion to this day, advocated the most
stringent measures against the Rebels, and
We shall continue to do SO until the re-
bellion is obliterated. We have always
maintained that this rebellion shall be
put down with such vengeance that bad
inen hereafter will trenble at the bare
thought of fomenting another. There can
be no lasting peace until the rebellious
States return to their old position in the
Union, or are forced into it. And if, in
their madness, they persistently refuse to
return to their allegiance, then we go so
far as to maintain that the Government
should suljugate them, and hold them in
that condition until good sense returns to
them. A northern and southern confed-
eracy cannot exist and peace be maintain
ed. A patched-up peace would be but a
truce-and very brief one. 4 separG-
non oftlese States and peace are incom-
pqti6le-en inapoSsibiiiV Now that we
are suffering the horrors and privations Of
war let US suffer them manfully to the
bitter end, and not lay them aside for a
time only to pass them over to our child
ren. ."-Lycon,ing Gazette.
Let ali Democrats talk and act in that
way, and the Rebellion bubble would soon
be collapsed.

Passage of the Banking Bill.

We congratulate the loyal Millions on
the passage yesterday in the House, by
the strong vote of II Yeas to Ga Nays,
of the bill to establish National system
of Banking; based on deposits of Federal
Securities. The bill passed exactly as it
came from the Senate, so that 1t will not
have to go back save for enrolment and
signature, while the Presidents approval
is no wise doubtful A few DAYS more
at furthest will see this bill a law of the
land.
Good and true men voted against it,
for reasons doubtless conclusive to their
minds; while not one single sympathizer
with the Shareholders Rebellion failed to
record his vote in the negative. Nor
could aught else have been expected of
them for this is War measure, design.
ed to invigorate and fortify the Public
Credit and resist the fearful tendency,
through currency debasement and dete-
to general collapse and paraly-
sis. We could not expect for it the votes
any Why of hope or desire to see the Ma.
tional flag dropping below that of the Re.
belion.

In the bogus Congress, at Richmond, a
resolution was offered by Mr.. Sparrow, of
Louisiana, rendering the free navigation
of the Mississippi river and Its tributaries

do more towards freeing navigation than
all the Sparrovs of Rebellion.

aG-T The Annual Report of the State
Superintendent for the school year ending
June I'd, 1862, shows the educational
interests of the State to be in condition
far more fourishing than could have been
expected, considering the distracting cir
cumstances under which our couDtry has
been laboring for nearly two years past
During the past year the number of scheol
districts has increased 20; Schools, 75
There has been decrease In male teach
ers of 562, an increase in female teachers
of 645. This change is owing in very
great measure to the fact that many male
teachers have volunteered in their coun.
try S service. Tie average salary of male
teachers per month was S23 81, reduc-
ton of 81 81 from 1861. Average sala.
ries Of female teachers per month SlS.55,
a decrease of S1l from 1861 Total
cost of tuition Sl,367. .181 ,33. being de-
crease of S68, ,8Sl, ,67, from 1861. Total
cost of fuel and contingencies 1923, ,337,
being an increase of S8,857,29 over 1861.
Whole number of school houses, II. 1872.
Number erected during 1862, 462. Num-
bea unfit in 1861, 2,3l1 in 1862, 2,073,
making a decrease from 1861, of 248.
$50 additional school houses have been
suitably furnishedwith black boards school
apparatus, and other school furniture dur
ing the past year. This shows a very
hattering result of the workings of our
present school system, aud suggests to all
the citizens Of our State the propriety of
placing wholly under its provisions the
interests of their schools, that they may
receive its full benefits.

n=Tbe Now york E,.o;no Post enc.

r%The New York Euening Post sug-
gests that the French expedition for the
conquest of Mexico presents case for
the interposition of foreign nations, and
that our government should profer its
services to the Emperor to help him out
of his difficulties. 1t ought to be done
at once, on grounds of humanity and to
stop the useless effusion of blood. France
has undertaken task which she can not
complete, or which she will be able to
complete only at fearful sacrifice of life
aud treasure. She has undertaken to
''restore order" that is, to overthrow the
existing government, which is now almost
unanimously supported by the people, and
impose another upon them by force of
arms, in republic whose territory is twice
as large as that of France-being upwards
of two thousand miles in extreme length,
with an extreme breadth of eleven hun
dred miles. and having a northern frontier
of one thousand seven hundred and ninety
miles, southern of FIVE hundred and
twenty, and coast line of nineteen hun.
dred on the Caribbean Sea, and of over
fourteen thousand on the Pacific side.
The French government was kind enough
to hint that, iu spite of the superior re-
sources of the Federal Government, the
conditions of the soil and climate seemed
to intcrpose iovinicible arguments to the
progress of the war against our rebellious
Shareholders, With how much more pro-
priety may we commend the same con-
siderations to those who are prosecuting
the war in Mexico

BG- Col. Ross, of the Goth Regiment
Connecticut Volunteers, made the pro-
mitigation Of the Emancipation Procla-
nation the occasion for addressing his
soldiers. The following paragraph will
show the tenor of his speech: "What
caused this rebellion? Irepeat-as surely
as the Lord liveth and relgneth forever
as surely as 'man dieth and turneth to
dust African Savery was the primary
cause of this rebellion and just so surely
this rebellion will never be crushed, or
peace permanently restored, SO long as
that curse shall live. There are three
great epochs in TIE history of the world
since it has been under the controlling
influence of Christian civilization-the
establishment of Magma Charta of Eng
land, the Declaration of the Independence
OF the United States, and this Froclama-
tion of Emancipation of Abraham Lincoln,
by which millions of human beings are
restored to their God given birthright."

ANOTHER BIRD-The American Eagle
is about to take under its wings another
chicken of the Union. A bill has passed
the House of Representatives to organize
a new territory called Montana This
territory is proposed to comprise large
western part of what is now known as the
Territory of Nebraska 1t includes the
Saloon River gold mines and contains
about eleven thousand people, mostly
miners. A steamboat is being built on
the Missouri River, above Fort Benton,
to navigate that river above the falls
This will give water navigation to within
about sixty or seventy miles of the eastern
mixes. The new Territory will have
l7O,7SO square miles.
