We have not always agreed with our neigh

it wise on grounds of the public welfare to
make slavery and the negro so prominent in

But that Is a matter concerning which iudg-
Inent and tastes may differ. II is iutolerable
that mob should undertake by violence and
destruction Of property to dictate topics for
public discussion, or to control the senti-
ments ard utterances Of the public press.
When such an Issue Is forced upon Journal

Explosion of Powder Mills MT

built some forty years since, and contained
between one and two tons Of powder. The
other mill was used as packing house, dis
tant from the glazing mill about one hundred
yards or more, and contained about lve tons
Of powder. The cauae Of the explosion is
unknown, but 1t is supposed to have resulted
from friction in the machinery of tho Glazing
mill, md the falling Of burning timber prob.
ably ignited the powder in the packing mill.
Fortunately no lives were lost, although

which the glazing mill stood, narrowly cs-

PRINTING WITHOUT ISK-A gentleman, a
large capitalist, md one Of the most success
tul inventors Of the day, has succeeded In
chemically treating the pulp, during the pro
q manner that when the paper ii Impressed
uporethe uninked types, the chemical parti-
cles are crushed, and perfect black impres-
sion is the result. The advantage sought to
be obtained is the discardibg Of Ink and roll
ers; and by reyolationizipg printing rnachi-
paper, it is calculated that the time occupied
lu impreseing 1arge quantities Of paper will
be nominal in comparison to the require
ments Of the present day. Cleanliness IL tho
printing office would thus become proverbial,
and the time now wasted In making and dis

THE SITUATION.

Suppose IN intelligent American in Eu-
rope to be in possession Of the news Of our
war up to last night, and called upon to
give to an intelligent and candid inquirer
Of another nation, the present aspects Of
Ibis contest to subdue the rebellion. It
would be no stretch of probability to sup
pose the interrogator to have been
previously supplied with ono OF
the maps which the rebels and
their sympathizers have been profusely
distributing in Europe. By that map, the
rebellion in 1861 WIS made to include the
States south Of the Ohio, and the whole
of Missouri and Maryland Over this ex-
hibit it was TINT the London. Times, with
its nose in the air, talked 1earnedly Of the
Northern States being like Prussia, small
in territory, but populous and prosperous,
doing well in small way, while the EN-
1iire had passed to the Great Slave Olgar-
chy, that by this lying map, had swept
away from the old Union, two-thirds of
its territory.
The intelligent American abroad now
takes down the map with more pride.
Placing his finger on Cairo he would say,
~Therc, sir, in 1861, men stood at that
point and looked for the smoke Of the en-
emy's steamers, more than once actually
disce1ned from that point, Columbus was
only twenty miles below bristling with
-s;,cl batteries. Lower still were Island
Number Ten, New Madrid, Fort Pillow,
Memphis, Vicksburg and Port Hudson, all
points Of note in the rebel programme Of
defence. Then the enemy had Forts Don
elson and Henry, disputing our passage up
the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers,
Bowling Green, Kentucky, YVES their
stronghold, Nashville on the inner circle
Of their defcnces, Tennessee was strongly
in their grasp, and Kentucky was held
for the rebels in trust by the scarcely less in
famous Magofhn policy. Missouri was rent
and shaken By her enemies. Unionism in
St. Louis hung By q thread. At the same
ti4e treason in Maryland was rampant;
Baltimore the home Of kissing disunion-
ism, while from the top Of the Capitol at
Washington the eye could look out upon
the horizon dotted with the line of rebel
camp fires. This was the boundary Of the
rebellion On the North. and, save Fortress
Monroe, there WIS no point Of Federal
occupation in the South. This was in
1861"
~Then may trust my map for that r
asks the intelligent foreigner, previously
supplied with the rebel map aforesaid.

breadth Of the task set before our Govern
