Another Sign.


The Georgia Coastitutiona7ist Of the
24th of August contains letter from
Robert Toombs, late Senator of the Il.
3, and late Rebel Secretrry of State.
1t is undoubted and startling evidences
Of the utter bankruptcy and failure of
the Confederacy. He boldly exposes
the wickedness and corruption Of the
bogus Government, and says that the
whole Rebellion is rotten, useless, and
aoiched The laws are weak and the
rulers oppressive, and starving com
munity are impoverished and plundered.
We quote the following re markable par

we have. upon half the money, and paid

thirty per cent, ours at more than one

their Government has better understood
and more firmly adhered to the true prin-
ciples ofcurrency than ours. In all else
we had the advantage.
Toombs proceeds and says, that taxa
ton, rigid comprehension, and loans, are
tina only means by which sound currency
can be obtained He thus concludes
We must act, and that quickly. The
public interest and public safety will no
longer allow delay. Our present system
is utterly insupportable. It is upsetting
the very foundation Of private rights !;
daily weakening public confidence in our
cause at home and abroad; sowingamong
our people dangerous discontents, which
are daily deep ningand widening. Pat

Since the victory at Gettysburg, and the

wonders Of the Atmosphere.

The atmosphere rises above us with It's
cathedral dome arching toward heaven, Of
which it is the most perfect synonym and
symbol 1t floats around us like that grand
object which the Apostle John saw in his
vision, "a sea of glass like unto a crystal"
So massive is it, that when it begins to stir,
it tosses about great ships like playthings,
and sweeps city and forest like snow-ilakes
to destruction before it,
And yet il is so mobile that we have lived
for years in it before we can be persuaded
that it exists at all, and the great bulk of
mankind never realize the truth that they
are bathed in an ocean Of air. Its weight
is so enormous that iron shivers before it
like glass, yet soap-ball sails through il
with impunity, and the tiniest insect waves
it aside with IFS wing. 1t ministers lavishly
to all our senses. We touch it not but il
touches us. Its warm south wind brings
back color to the pale face of the invalid
its cool west windsrefresh the fevered brow
and make the blood mantle to our cheeks
even its north blasts brace into new vigor
the hardened children of our rugged eli

Printing without Ink.

A gentleman, large capitalist, and one
of the most successful inventors Of the day,
has succeeded in chemically treating the
pulp, during the process Of manufacturing
printing paper in such manner that when
the paper is impressed upon the uninled
types, the chemical particles are crushed,
and a perfect black impression is the re-
suit. The advantage sought to be obtained
is the disoarding of ink and rollers and
by revolutionizing printing machinery, and
printing from continuous roll Of paper,
it is calculated that the time occupied in i'm
pressing large quantities of paper will be
nominal in comparison to the requirements
of the present day. Cleanliness in the print
ing office would thus become proverbial,
and the time now wasted in making and
distributing herollers obviated. We have
been assisting this gentleman in some parts
of his experiment and further information
is withheld, at his request, until letters pat
ent shall be obtained.-London Topographic
Advertiser.

Meanness OF the Gcttysburgers

A correspondent of the New York Times,
speaking of affairs in the vicinity of Get
tysburg, after the battle, says:
Let me make it Il matter OF uudeniable
history that the conduct of the majority of
the male citizens of Gettysburg, and the
surrounding county of Adams, is such as to
stamp them with dishonor and craven
hearted meanness. | do not speak hastily.
| but wrlto the unanimous sentiments of
the whole army-an army which now feels
that the doors from which they drove u
host of robbers, thieves and cut-throats,
were not worthy of being defended The
actions of the people of Gettysburg are so
sordidly mean and unpatriotic rs to engen-
der the belief that they were Indifferent as
to which party was whipped. will give Il
few instances.
In the first place, the male citizens ran
away, aud left the women and children TO
the mercy of their enemies. On their return,
instead of lending helping hand TO the
wounded, and opening their houses TO the
tamished officers and soldiers they have
manifested indecent haste to present their
bills to the authorities for payment of losses
inflicted by both armies. One man yester-
day presented captain with bill for
eighteea rails which his men had burned in
cooking their coffee On the streets the
burden of their talk is their losses-and
speculatiOns as to whether the Government
can be compelled to pay for this or that.
Almost entirely they are unCoWteOus-bu
this is plainly from lack of intelligence and
refinement. Their charges, too, were eXor-
btant-hotels, 81 80 per day; milk 10 and
10 cts per quart bread 81 and even 81 so
per loaf ttceHty cents for q banddge for q
,c0uaded soldier! And these are only
of tl,a gprlil ,nl
unpatriotic spirit manifested by these peo-
pie, from whose doors our noble army had
driven a hated enemy. | wish it to be un-
derstood that the facts have stated can be
substantiated by many officers high in rank,
as well as by what personally saw and ex-
perienced. This is Adams county, aneigh-
Dor to copperhead York, which is still nearer
| to the stupid and stingy Berks.
OF course, there were some bright eXcep-
tions TO this conduct, and one or two that
came to my notice | desire to allude to
here, for they richly deserve it, having in
| terspersed bright oasis in this desert of
shameless indifference and discourtesy-a
shamelessuess which refused Miss Dix and
her lady nurses board, because they didn't
want to be troubled with boarders."
! In honorable contrast to this sordidness
was the conduct of Prof. StoeYer and his
amable wife. As many as twelve wounded
Union soldiers at once lay upon his dining
room floor, receiving from himself and Mrs
Stoeyer constant care. His spacious yard
was for days a free ordinary, where our
men ate their fill, not only without money
and without price, but with that hearty and
cheerful welcome which so teammates the
weary. In his cellar he concealed three
Union officers for three days, while the
town was in possession Of the rebels-anx-
iOusly determined to save them from arrest
and the Libby Prison.
