The idea of frestoring the American Union

Gently. Let us beseech them 10 20 iato the
pig-tail whistle business, or to indulge in ex-
periments relating TO beAn-vine connection
Of the earth and moon. On the other hand,
if it is the blood, and sorrow, and ruin of the
war which delights them, we submit that it is
mean and foul in them TO cover their opera

be continued for the qualification il affords,
let it be done no longer under the captivating

further imposition and outrage upon the pa
triotic impulses and intentions Of honest men.
The restoration of the Union by war will
prove restoration from which We may
well pray God in mercy to deliver us-a reslo-

New England and Eastern Monopo-
lists are uutiribg in their demands upon the
country for special favors, at the expense Of
the honest, toiling masses, and the Vest
Tho last enterprise of this character is at
tempt-promsing, of course, TO be success
ful-of the New York Railroad and Canal
Companies, the Buffalo Flour Spectators,
and the Manufacturers and Monopolists OF
New England generally, to compass the re-
peal of the Canadian Reciprocity
This treaty, we have competent authority
for stating, has proved highly beneficial TO
the general and best interests of the country
at large But it is in the way of the greedy
and insatiato extortioners, and it must be no
longer tolerated. Ifthe people are willing
TO be sborn and to shiver like flock Of sheep,
over and over again, perhaps it is all right
There will always be Confidence men," O.
nough in the land, to bamboozle, and smou.
zle them out Of their rights and their honest
earnings. The commonest manner of accom-.
plishing this end, resorted to by the sharpersS
is to extol their virtue, intelligence, patri
Otism and potential majesty, and while they
are under the influence" make practical H.
lustration of their greenness, by taking off
their fleece siss4s aaE silfab fttAt
When may we look for 'the great awaken
ing, the good time, long hoped for, long de-
ierred, when the honest men of the land shall
take their own affairs into their own hands.

OBITUARY. INDsxaD

Died at Washington, Ark, on tie 4th of
January, 1864, Mrs. MARY T. CARRIGAx, wife
Of Cap.. Robert A. Carrigan, in the 27th year
of her age.
The deceased was daughter of Col. Sierhen
Moore, formerly of Hillsborough, n. c., now
of Hampstead County, Ark.
She was in life n consistent and devoted
Christian, and in her protracted illness calmly
resigned to the will of her Heavenly Father
being sustained by IL at hope which is as an
anchor of the soul, both sure and stea dfast
Whilst the church and her bereaved family
mourn the loss of her bright AMI amable ex-
ample, they have the consolation to expect n
re union with her when the redeemed of God
shall dwell in his presence, where there is
fulluess of joy, and at his right hand where
there pleasures for evermore."
Died on the Sd of January, 1864, Lieut..
WILLIAM NJ. CARDIGAN, aged 81 years.
The church at Washington, of which he was
n ruling eder-the community in which he
liTed-and the army in which he was pa
triotic and Christian ofhcer-have sustained
no ordinary loss in the death of this truly ex-
celent man.
In the church as a private member, ruling
elder, an superintendent of the Sabbath
school, he was a model Of Christian character
sincere, jealous, aud fervent in spirit,
esteeming all things but loss for the excellency
of the knowledge of Christ Jesus his Lord.
In social life his highly cultivated mind, sweet
ened by meekness and controlled by integrity,
secured to him the confidence of all who knew
him.
As soldier in his country's cause, he joined
the army, not from vain glorious or malicious
motives, nor from the desire to win laurels ON
the blood-stained field of battle; but from a
sense of duty, in defence of the South, when
an invading army was on our borders.
His spotless example as Christian, and his
efficiency as an officer, both the battle field
and in the camp, will be long cherished by the
company and regiment to which he belonged.

In the Confederate Congress on the 9th

from the Secretary of the Treasury, en-,
c'osihg statement from the Commits
sioner OF Taxes, furnishing statistics of
the amount collected under the frs. sec
ton OF the tax law in the cities Of Rich

thus collected is given at S97J. 600. at
IS estimated by the Commissioner that the
revenue which will be collected in these
cities will not fall short of SO 900. 900. of
which Richmond will pay SI,I5O,OOO."
The Examiner of February 9th SAYS:
owe are well assured that the Con fedcrate
Senate has passed the Currency Bill in
secret session, and that what is known M
OIdham's plaza tax on the currency
Is rejected. The Iious, bill, has been
radically amended, and We are disposed to
believe that the ground of compromise
between the two Houses will be the con-
sfltntion Of Dew currency, limited to
10000, and sustained either bya pledge
OF cotton or special appropriation Of fu>
iure revenues. Tho fact is, Congress has
got to 'ea again on the currency, and be-
fore the two Houses can accolueeodate
their differences, it is not unlikely the
session may expire"

first three days of the present week, of
2,11O bales received at New York. 773
bales came from Matamoras, 3S3 bales
from Cuba, 1O5 from Nassau, ~ from

from New Orleans. We are importing
from foreign countries much moro than
we are exporting, and Notwithstanding
the price of the staple keeps pace with
that of gold, the exports from New York
are merely nominal.

+ In THE SENATE, on Tuesday, Feb. 9th, Mr.
vWillctt introduced bill to extend the time
of payment for school lands in section 16
st. Joseph township, Williams county. Mr..
Hall introduced bill to vacate the Man
haitian branch of the Miami and Erie canal
at Toledo. Mr.. MILESTONE introduced bill
to amend the act relative to the Supervisor
of Public Printing, increasing his salary to
$500 per annum, prescribing his duties, and
giving his appointment to the Governor
The bill authorizing the election of an addi-
tional Common Pleas Judge in the first SUBJ
division of the Fourth Judicial District was
passed.
A statement from Mr.. Nevins the State
Printer, was received, by which it Is shown
that his contract for doing the State print
ing has been anything but remunerative
The committee on Printing, to whom was
referred the bill for the relief of such con-
tractors, reported it back with an amend
ment that an advance of thirty per cent. be
paid to the printer, and ten per cent. to the
binder. The amendments were adopted
and the bill ordered to be read the third
time tomorrow.
In THE HOUSE, Mr.. Gribben obtained
leave to record his vote against the resolu-
ton to sell the coin in the State Treasury
A number of petitions and memorials were
received. The most Of the day was devoted
to discussion of the bill for the relief OF
soldiers families. While discussing a bill
to amend the supervisors law, Mr.. Osborne
discovered and announced to the House that
the section of the law which it proposed to
amend had been repealed more than year
ago!
