- The shipments of gold from San
Francisco from January LIST to March 18th
Of this year amounts to SIC, 5ss, $50. For
the corresponding period Of 1863, they
were Sl1 1884 COZ, the increase of this year
being nearly fifty per cent over last
These figures seem to indicate that the pro-
ductiveness of the gold regions continue
undiminished and on the increase. It is
AZ we would wish it. Gold is good to pay
interest on the public debt and California
and the rest promise to answer the draft.

no A Union Convention is called to
meet at Princeton, ILL.,, on the Goth inst, to
nominate a successor to Owen Lovejoy.
The election takes place on the 7th of May.
We trust the patriots of that District will
make it point to SO to the polls and vote
If one-third or one-half Of them stay at
home, rs they did in Chicago the other day,
Owen Lovejoy may possibly be succeeded
by Copperhead. That would make them
and the rest of us feel pleasant The way
to ensure success is for eres,y man to do his
duty. That is what the public demands Of

6-Among the prominent personsges
who manifest the highest indignation Al
the Fort Pillow butchery, is Reverdy John
son, Of Maryland. He speaks in, no min
cling terms Of the horrible outrage. He
says the rebels must be taught that our
black soldiers are quite as good as their
white ones. That is the talk. They must
be taught that exact thing and made to
believe it down to their marrow bones.-
Whenever that is accomplished, they will
be intensely cautious to treat prisoners
precisely as they have right to be treated.
Mere brutes can only be taught in one way.
They do not appreciate forbearance. Let
them learn what severity is. They will
feel that.

Another toast was: 1.-THE Presidential
Contest Of 1S64-A fair vote or free fight"
which was received with enthusiasm. We
think they win have '.fair VOTE" though
We guess that il the last thing the scoun-
drels wish for. An unfair vote, one which
would allow each Of them to vote a. often

all loyal men, 10 the sort Of yote which they
consider the ''exact thing.n Az to the ''free
fight" part Of the programme, there is lit
tie probability that those who talk 20 brave
" will do much in that line. II 10 not their
forte. But We do not doubt that they are
scheming to induce their misguided fol.
lowers to run their necks into peril Of the
halter. They have done it on small scale
several times already. No doubt they want
Civil War. But We guess they will fAil in
getting 1t. People eco that It won't pay,
and that it can't succeed in anything but
ensuring their own ruin. They won't fol-

- Colonel Leonidas Metcalf, Of Ken

Carlisle. Nicholas county, in that State. In
the course Of his speech he stated that in
1851, he had occasion to Gee Gen. McClel-
Ian. In the course of his conversation he
spoke of JEFF. Davis AZ q scoundrei. There
upon Mcclellan Strengthened himself up,
and said, II assure you, sir, you are mis-
taken. JEFF. Davis is . perfect gentleman,
and will not do anything 3nbeconsimg gen.
tlensam." So, according to this Union Gem
eral, in command of our armies, treason,
rebellion, and all its horrors, are acts not
"unbecoming q gentleman" liz it any
wonder that man with such ideas should
always take SO much pains not to hurt the
traitors, and always keep himself out of
range Of their bullets?

BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWK-EYE

Ma The Muscatine Courier, Of the lbsh,
saws: "If the Courier Office is destroyed by
a mob, this city (Muscatine) will lay IN
ashes" The Journal asks
Suppose the material, the press ana the
editor. were all thrown into the river, what
remedy does the law point out? is the
(nuyieT editor such cOnSummate knave
and fool as to believe the people OF this city
wonld not yindicate the law! Wnat does
he nropose? Just this: Destroy this Office,
devoted to the interests OF the reDels, ana
tho citv of MUsCATINE WILL LAY IN AsHEs
as penalty.
We don't think there would oe much
claw to be vindicated," if the editor Of the
nourier was thrown into the river and
drowned. We would dislike to see the
printing material destroyed-its not to
blame for its reasonable talk, but 1t is the
author of those articles who ought to suffer.
But still, we don't propose to catch up bod
ilv the editor Of the Cbuyier, and throw him
into the river; but if we were on one end
Of a plank, and he on the other, and his
end of the plank over . laundering deep
hole in the river, we would casually slide
off our end, and whistle the dead march as
we went on our way up street rejoicing
And that's what we would call an "accl
dent with the ''sad' left out.

~ The proprietor Of the Oskaloosa
Times has, through his attorneys, served a
notice on Mayor Rhinehart Of suit against
the city for s, 600 damages for injuries done
his Office by soldiers on the 7th. The Her

Of the opinion, from our knowledge OF
country printing Offices, Of the stripe OF the
Times. that eight hundred dollars would be
a big price for the entire trap. But, then,
it may be that the editor Of the Times in
cludes damages done his character in this

joke on the city Of Oskaloosa. As soon as

~ We notice statement to the effect
that q committee Of the New York Bank
ers are in Washington " lobbying' against
the National Banking Bill. It is said, too,
that they are creating difficulties in the
House. Az
It ought to be understood we think, by
this time, that the chief cause of the infla-
ton of the currency, and the excessive rise
in gold, and the needless speculation, are
these identical pretended financiers. They
are bad avisers as well - interested ones.
They aspire to rule when they should be
content to follow. Their objects are not the
good Of the public. They only seek to in
crease their dividends. They care little
what the war costs the country. If they
can add to their own wealth they have a
wonderful degree Of indifference about the
depletion of purse which may result to
Others. They have not sought to aid aud
assist the Government. They have been
stumbling blocks in the way. They de-
serve no special consideration or respect.
They should not q b flegislated against !
But whatever the financial interests of the
country demand should be at once enact
ed regardless Of their particular interests or
wishes. .He1ss 80 Ias
If Congress WIN attend to its business,
spurn all the harpies who throng around
it and exclaim against the Bank, tax and
other bills, upon which public exigencies
demand prompt action, the people will
think better Of it than it now does. If it
viii waste less time in useless, nay, hurt
full speeches and do the business Of the
country, it may possibly redeem its char
acter. Al matters now are, We tell tho
members plainly, that the mass Of the sup
portsrs Of the Government have pretty
nearly concluded that q great many Of
them Are shirks, incompetents, or some
thing great deal worse. We don't know
what the habitually absent are doing. But
they are not attending to their duty. II
they mean that the lobby" shall do the
lesislation, we would be glad to know IT,
There il rather too much evidence that it
has an improper influence. It ought to
have move. Those who do that sort of
thing may genexslly be olsssed among the
real opponents u the public good Spurn
the whole gang. Sass

The CHRsHrRB RAILROAD ACCIDENT
The following particulars of the acct
dent which occurred last Wednesday on
the Cheshire Railroad, twelve miles this
side of Keene, N. a., are given by the
Bellows Falls Times
"a freight train had become stalled
and out of water, and of course unable
to- move either way. The passenger
train came along and was duly tagged
and grappled to the freight train to push
it in to Keene. Another freight train
had in the meantime lain on side track
for the Others to pass, and after they
had passed was again on the main track
following. The conductor of the pas
senger train, finding they were unable
to make much time sent back messen-
ger to the freight train, but the storm
was binding and driving hard and the
messenger was not seen, and a terrible
accident followed. The freight train
coming up ran into the rear end of the
passenger car, smashing 1t to pieces, and
instantly killing one Frenchman and
his wife. who had Just been married.
and little girl named O'Brien, of some
other family. One woman was consid-
erably, but not seriously injured. Sew
eral Others were also injured, but not
severely. Conductor A. M, Kendall mar
rowly escaped instant death by the con-
cussion between the passenger and bag
gage car, by jumping off the platform
just Ia season.

the usual formality of referring 1t to a
standing committee.

tee appointed to inquire into the expedi-
ency of providing that the heads of de-
partments shall occupy seats on the
floor Of the House of Representatives,

lege OF voting, but with the right to

Ing to their several departments, and
that two days of each week shall be de-
voted TO the answering of questions by

formation should be likely to prove det-
rimental to the public interests.

FROM WAsHMaros.- New York
Tribune's Washington correspondent
says
"The greatest anxiety was expressed
Yesterday and to-day at the Navy De-
parstnent lest the unpatriotic and most
reprehensible publications of details of
Gen. Buffers naval and military expe-
dition to capture Wilmington, and his
plan to reduce Fort Fisher, should utter
ly defeat the great enterprise. Within
forty-eight hours after the publication,
the three papers guilty of the crime
were undoubtedly in Richmond and
their news. communicated by telegraph,
was in Wilmington. 1t was said at the
department that the bogus proclamation
for which Howard was sent to Fort
Lafayette was an innocent folly compar-
ed with the reasonable selfshness and
recklessness of this newspaper betrayal
OF Buffers plans"
