MORE MIscEoESA1IoS.- Sunday last we
had second performance Of the miscegenation
farce, which may turn out a tragedy by and
by. The Reverend and Honorable John Jay
made the speech, instead of Charles King, "the
Pink OF good society" but the address and the
ladies who signed the address were the same.
One'thousand more strapping negroes then de-
parted for the seat Of war, whence they will
return heroes and become husbands.

THE LATE REBEL RAID INTO PADuoAH, KT-
The late raid Of the rebel cavalry, under For
rest. into Paducah, Kentucky. suggests two In
quiries. First, how did he get there! Second
ly, what were the objects Of this foolhardy OK
petition. In answer to the first question, we
presume that the Union cavalry generals,
Smith and Grierson, after their late repulse
from Mississippi, fell back to Memphis, under
the impression that Forrest was so badly Grip
pied as to be unable to take any advantage Of
their retreat. Forrest, however, thus finding
the country left open between him and the
Ohio river, appears to have pushed through
distance Of some one hundred and fifty or sixty
miles from the Mississippi border. His objects
were retaliation, spois and plumber, and SEN
sation in Kentucky in favor of the rebel cause.
He doubtless expected 10 make an easy prize
Of Paducah Gan important military position, at
the mouth Of the Tennessee river), and to cap
ture there immense quantities Of ammunition,
clothing, provisions and medical stores He
appears, however, to have overlooked In his
estimates the possible appearance on the scene
Of those ugly customers Known as gunboats,
and accordingly he was severely punished for
his folly.
The question next recurs, will be be permit
ted to make good his escape back to Mississip-
pi? We must leave the answer to General
Grant, our new General-in- Chief; to General
Sherman, our new commander in all that great
department between the Ohio river and the
Gulf, and to Generals Smith and Grierson, who,
with their cavalry forces. have now o fine op-
portunity to turn the tables on their daring ad-
versary. This Paducah affair, like al the other
preliminary developments of the new campaign,
shows that at every point, from Florida to Vir-
ginia, and thence westward to the Mississippi,
the rebels, active and vigilant, are ready to
fight, fall back or advance, a. the occasion
may require or invite, and that, instead OF
abandon Virginia, they still mediate the
recapturo Of Tennessee and Kentucky. Posi-
bly, this Paducah raid may have been intended
to cover q more formidable expedition across
the eastern end or centre Of Kentucky from
Longstreets army in East Tennessee. In any
event, while looking after these petty rebel
forays, we guess that General Grant will not
be diverted by them from his main designs,

GENERALS MCCLELLAN AND FREnoNr.-Ths
idea prevails to some extent that there Is, I'M
der General Grant, prospect Of an early res
toration Of General Mcclellan and General
Fremont to active service In the neld. We fear,
on the contrary, whatever may be the views Of
General Grant in regard 70 Mcclellan or Free
mont, that President Lincoln and biz board Of
political advisers At Washington have made up
their minds to keep these two officers in The
background. We fear that Honest Old Abe
lacks both the msgnanimity and tho sagacisy to
give either Fremont or Mcclellan chance to
gain any new laurels. Each has position
among the people which Is dIstrusted and
feared at Washington, and neither, therefore.
has anything to hope from Old Abe.

THE INEFFICIENcY OF THE NAVY DEPART.
MEST COMING Or m ANOTHER PHAsE-We
have had repeated evidences of the ineficiency
Of the Navy Department; but now other testi-
mony to the same effect is coming out in
court m artial going on in Washington, in which
Admiral Wilkes is presented as the delinquent
The testimony, when sifted, shows that Admiral
Wilkes only suffered in tho shortcomings OF
which he is accused in consequence of the utter
imbecility Of the Navy Department, and the
supreme want Of intelligence on the part of the
Department in regard to matters of which IL
should then have been informed more COM
plctely. Wilkes was running squadron com
posed Of two or three vessels, when no required
twelve to accomplish TIVE purposes-one OF
which was to look out for blockaders
on the rebel coast, and the other
to capture rebel cruisers, the most prominent
Of which at the time was the Alabama. Admit
raj Wilkes demanded more vessels-of-war The
Department declined to furnish them. Wilkes
detained those he thought would bs Of service
to him, and among them was the Vanderbilt.
Hence this court martial. Admiral Wilkes
did something while In command Of the
San Jacinto which was NOT exactly in accord
ance with the law and the gospel Of the
Department. He seized the rebel ministers,
Mason and Slidell, while fleeing from this
country to foreign one on board British
man-ofwar. For this service he was publicly
entertained and exalted in Faneuil Hall, Bos-
ton, and subsequently was raised in grade In
the service. What will be done with Admiral
Wilkes nowi He has done all he could, and
tried to do little more, as . naval ofncsr OF
che United States. Uncle Sam remembers his
devoted servants, whether in his army or his
navy service.

to its credit, and his vlgilant care of its
interests, have had their influence alike
upon the political character of its citi-
zens, and the prosperity which now marks
their trade and enterprise, and demands
"a peoples honest admiration and ap-
plause.
Resolved, That the alacrity with which
the Governor of Pennsylvania has con-
tributed, through the aid of our fellow
citizens, to the national defence, is in
keeping with the character of loyalty ev-
er borne by the Keystone State. Through
the active energy of Governor Curtin,
Pennsylvania has had the satisfaction of
knowing that her State flag has Aoated in
almost every battle fought for the Union,
while no Commonwealth has given more
of its material means in aid of the Gov
ernment than that which the wise and
frugal measures of Andrew G.. Curtin
have enabled this State to extend to the
National Government.
Resolved, That the highest rewards of
the nation are due to the brave men who
are now in the field, periling their lives
in struggle with base and wicked con-
spiracy; that we will ever hold in CRATE
ful recollection the memory of those who
have already perished in the fight for the
Union, and extend to those who survive
to return once more to their homes the
honor which their valor has fairly won, and
the peaceful rest which their labors so
eminently deserve.
Resolved, That we thank the loyal
members of the Legislature for the steady
and persistent course with which they
have maintained the honor and credit of
the Commonwealth and the stern patriot
ism with which they also resisted the rev.
olutionary schemes of the minorities in
the Senate and House. The attitude of
the majority in both branches, on the in
terest question and on the enfranchise-
ment of the soldier, was controlled alike
by regard for economy and determina-
tion to recognize in the defenders of the
Union, citizens deserving the highest
rank and franchises; while the course of
general legislation has been such at least
as to deserve for the Legislature during
the session about to close, our frank ap-
proval.
Resolved, That the thanks of the whole
people are due to the gallant men who
are now in the lead of our armies, and
that We hold ourselves in readiness, at a
warning, to second the efforts
of these to render the summer campaign
against treason the final end of the strug-
gle for the peace of the country and the
full recognition of the authority of the
Government in all the States.

It is often difficult to drive common

They will never fly out, however, if first

hard soap will answer. Screws treated
in the same maner may also be driven
with much greater ease. Soap is much
better than oil, aud at the same time
