| ident, have investigated another steamboat
operation. The steamer Nellie Baker was
chartered in February, 1862, at three hun
dred and fifty dollars per day. Capt, A. ",
Calaen, Capt. Charles Spear, and J. 4. 3.
Long, all Of Boston, were owners The Nelly
Baker cost them nineteen thousand eight hun
1fed dollars. She was in the employ Of the
y. S. about ten months, receiving one hun
dred and six thousand two hundred dollars
charter money, She was then sold to the
United States for for forty-two thousand dol
lars, the owners realizing the sum of one hun
dred and forty-eight thousand dollars. In ad~
dition to this the profits derived from the sale
Of refreshments were about twenty five dol
lars per day, during the time that she was
running from Old Point to Gen. McClellan's
army, and she got all her coal gratis from the
government. Another case is that Of an old
canal barge called the Miss Mary, which was
worth from eight to nine hundred dollars.
She was chartered in November, 1862, at the
exorbitant rate of twenty five dollars per day,
and remained in charter until she earned her
owners four thousand dollars. She was nomi-
naIly prison hulk, but the evidence goes to
show that she was used very small part Of
the time Her owners were John Coblens and
John F, Pickerell, of Baltimore.
Major J. T. Lane whose medical depot in
New York city is at 88 Cedar street, says he
has specific for small pox, which will put
anv patient out of danger in twelve hours, and
ultimately cure without leaving scar, If ad-
ministered at any time during the nine days
after the appearance of the symptoms. 1t
kills the poison, he says, at once, and yet can
be taken by infants without the least danger
of evil consequences. He says he is ready to
take ten times as much of the medicine as it Is
necessary to administer to any patient The
Major comes from Nova Scotia, where he OBJ
taiped the knowledge of this specific in 1861
from an old Mic Mac Inndian squaw, now
dead.
In the u. S. House of Representatives on
Monday, Mr. Smith of Kentucky, offered re-

extinction, and that therefore, 1T is the po-
litica, civil, moral and sacred duty Of the peo-
ple to meet it. fight it, and forever destroy it,

liberty The resolutions were adopted-yeaa

JOHN H. MORGAN,
Brigadier General 2. A. &. s.

In speech before Missionary Society, in
Washington, few nights ago, Mr.. Secretary
Chase said:
II am not one of those who think that the
Christian religion in its earliest times, just
emerged from the darkness Of heathenlsm,
was the religion of our day, or began to com
pare with it, either in purity or efficiency. 1t
is no more like the religion of our day than
the region which our missionaries behold, with
in their comparatively limited circles is like
the religion professed and practiced in Chris
tian lands. And so [ think, amid all the vi
cissitudes Of the great Church, the Christian
religion has been steadily advancing, and is
now more advanced than it has ever been IN
former periods.
This would be considered, we believe, in
some sense, very strange kind of theology, y
though it will be apt by :rehecting men, to be
thought true, that, Judging from the exam
pie of many, the religion of the primitive
Christians aoos very different thing from the
religion of thousands who call themselves
Christians in these days. Whether there has
been any Improvement let others say.
The Richmond Examiner of the lth says:
'We are happy to have it in our power to an
nounce that Captain Hines, who escaped from
the Ohio Penitentiary with General Morgan,
but whose reca pture was feared, is safe at Co.
umbia. South Carolina , General Morgan re-
ceived dispatch from him last evening dated
at that place. He is coming on to Richmond
to ioin the General.
The Washington Chronicle In long article
assorts that "the present Administration has
never departed from the spirit and letter
of the Constitution.
A fire, causing the destruction OF large
amount of property, occurred IN Phliaoelpnla a

IS. CONGRESS-. In the Senate yesterday
a bill was reported providing for the satlsfac-
zion of the Peruvian claims. The resolution
for esta blishing new rule Of the Senate, re-
ou;r;ng members to take the oath Of loyalty
prescribed for officers Of the government, by the
act Of July I'd, 1862, was taken up, and Mr..
Bayard addressed the Senate at length IN op-
position to it's adoption.
In the House Of Representatives, the joint
resolution amendatory Of the Confiscatlon act,
was taken up but without coming to vote,
the House went into Committee Of the Whole
on the bill amendatory of the Excise laws
The Excise laws on whisky occupied the at
tention of the House up to the hour OF ad,
journment. Mr.. Lovejoy desired to hayesthe
tax one dollar per gallon. This was op-
posed by Mr. Fernando Wood, Of New
York, who said that if the policy Of the Ad-
ministration was to be carried OUT legislation
for long war might as we'll begin, for if the
Confederate Government had control of the
action of the Administration. il could not better
have added to their cause. Mr.. Grlnnell wanted
the tax made one dollar and twenty cts; he de-
sired high rate, forit had been said 'grogshops'
were the nurseries of Democracy; he desired
sober army Mr. Chandler asked him if when
he spoke of sober armies he was not think
ing of Charlottesville? After considerable
further debate, proposition to make the tax
fifty cents per gallon was voted down, and
without coming to any conclusion the commit
tee rose.
A letter received from prominent &c 1eral
officer in the Army of the Potomac says that
Lees army, instead of being depleted, is being
increased by conscripts. The writer says the
"Confederates are using strenuous efforts to Or
ganize and recruit their cavalry for offensive
operations in the spring, and are impresslng
into the services all the good horses in the
State. The Confederate army, which is en-
camped between Orange Court House and
Gordonsvile, is we'll provided with provisions,
but is suffering for shoes, clothing and blan-
kets'
Colonel Percy Wyndham, recently relieved
from his command in the Army of the Poto
mac, has commenced work on the operations
OF the cavalry, sending notices to the different
officers requesting them to furnish him with
tul particulars, &C. This coming to the
knowledge of the War Department, an order
prohibiting Colonel Wyndham from any such
proceedings, in violation Of army orders, was
served upon him.

Il w. CGmpjsl, Whesliag, West Pirginia
My DEAR Sin; The loyal people of the coun-
try have ever taken q deep interest in tho for
tunes Of West Virginia. You may depend upon
it that when the names of the States are in
scribed on our banners aud arches, that OF West
Virginia will not be omitted. We are shocked
at the manner in which you were treated by tho
dietOtors at Richnend MT the outbreak of the
rebellion. The last uttcrRnce Of Mr. Jefferson
Davis which bus come before the public is, that
"the Confederates seeded to get rid Of the rule
of the minority" In the most flagrant contra
diction TO this profession, before the ordinauue
OF secession had boen submitted TO the people OF
Virginia, regimeAts of troops wofo brought up
from the Gulf States to Overawe your citizens at
the polls aud in publ shed letter Of DIR.
Senator Mason to tho editor Of the Winchester
I'Tginian, Of May lG, 1861, after n significant
allusion to the presence sat Harpers Ferry md
Norfolk in face of the common foe" (meaning
the forces of the United States assembled under
the star spangled hanner). "of several thousand
of tho gallant sons of South Carolina, OF Ala
bamA, Of Louisiana, of Georgia and Mississippi,
he writes as follows: "lf it be asked what are
those to do who. in their consciences, cannot
vote TO separate Virginia from the United States,
the answer is simple and plain honor aud duty
alike reqAire that they should not vote ou the
question if they retain sush opinions they must
leave the State !" what followed after this
atrocous sentence of banishment against one
third Of the population OF Virginia, you do not
need to be informed. That you instantly 'se-
ceded," when the treason was consummaied at
Richmond though not exactly in the direction
prescribed by the military despotism there, did
not surprise u.s. In one of his last political
speeches Mr.. Webster exclaimed:
''Ye men Of Western Virginia. who occupy the
slope from the top of the Alleghauies TO the
Ohio and Kentucky, what benefit do you propose
to yourselves by disunion? you secede, what
-do you secede from and what do you secede to
Do you look for the current Of the Ohio to
change and to bring youiaud your commerce to
the tide.waters of the Eastern rivers? What
man in his senses can suppose that you would
remain part and parcel of Virginia a month after
Virginia should have ceased to be part and
parcel Of the United States"
There is no part of our beloved country that
occupies a more interesting position than West
ern Virginia, and it's loyal Inhabitants may be
sure that they have the Warmest sympathy Of
their brethren at the North.
l remain, dear sir, with great respect, very
truly yours, EDWARD EVERETT.

An UasusPEorED MiLLtoxAInn.-A few days

vikzee, on the banks Of the Soheldt. The old
lady was regarded by her simple neghbors as
being within only few removes from positive
pover'yi but she died, and Rslshe had always
hsd fer will during her lifetime, she left no will
beniud her but to the astonishment Of her
neighbors, what she did leave behind her was
cash, bank notes, and stock amounting in value
to about two million guiders. There were
pots full Of the gold and silver Of withdrawn and
forgotten currencies. which had been buried for
years. there was box full off Austrian and
other stock certificates, the coupons OF which
had not been cut off for quarter Of century; ;
while in a tin canister, which might have been
the domestic tea caddy, was quarter of mill
non worth OF bank notes, mu4ty with the acou-
mulated damp of years.
