There are no slaves now in Alabama. The
slave code is a dead letter. They who were
once slaves are now free, and must be govern
ed by the laws of Alabama as free men. 1t is
the dictate of wisdom, and we owe it to our
selves and them to produce the best possible
results for both races from the new order of
things AtNH &a& o.
Hesays, "the life-boat of the Union is still
within our reach" and he urges all to take
refuge on board. In truth, he says, "there is
no other sail in sight England and France
often seemed to be bearing down to our relief
but they have tackled, nay, they have put square
about and are now well down on the distant
verge of the ocean," We think the Governor
is little out here, for we don't remember when
the English or French seemed to be bearing
down to anybody's relief but the rebels. But
as the people of Alabama, however, are oblig-
ed to get on board the Union ship in order to
be saved, the Governor is perfectly right in adj
vising them to conduct themselves in a proper
manner when they are fairly bestowed ON the
deck of that gallant vessel We know of no
other place where they can be so safe. proyid-
ed they have clean bill of health.

The On FEvEK.-The Petroleum Report
er, published at Titusville, Pa, says the
tide of travel to the oil regions is swelling
all the time. Every train on the Oil Creek
railroad is crowded beyond its seating ca
pacity, and frequently every foot of stand
ing room is packed. The hotel capacity
of Titusville has been largely increased
during the past season, and yet, with all
the packing, for which they have become
famous, they are utterly inadequate to hold,
much less accommodate, all that arrive.
From ten to seventy are turned nightly
from every house after it has been packed
to its utmost capacity. After making the
the rounds of all the houses, the unfortu-
mates are fain to return to the original place
and take sleeping places in arm-chairs or
upon the floor. "
Cherry Run continues to be the centre of
attraction for the oil pilgrims. The fact
that of all the wells completed to proper
depth on the run, not one has proved a
failure, gives feeling of security which
adds greatly to the value of Cherry Run
territory. About twenty wells are now pro-
ducing in this location.

The NATIONAL BANK Norss.-We have
noticed, within the past few days, that a
considerable quantity of the National bank
paper is coming into this market. These
notes are very different in appearance and
origin to the familiar greenbacks. Every
denomination Of these National bank
has different engraving on the back,
each illustrating some event in the National
history. The twenty-dollar note, for in
stance, has beautiful copperplate engrav-
ing of the baptism of Pochahontas, printed
in black, but surrounded with very hand
some green border. These notes are the
issue of the National banks established in
all the loyal States, East, by act of Con-
gress. They form the great mass of the
currency in those States, being accepted BY
the citizens as legal tender in all cases, and
by the Government in all cases except in
payment of import duties.-S. F. Flde.

MINT REPonr.-The report of the opera
tions Of the United States Mint at Phila.
deiphia and its branches has been published.
The Director states that the reports from
the gold and silver mining regions of the
country, indicate an abundant and in.
creaslng production. 1t appears that the
gold deposites for the fiscal year 1864.
amounted to 1885, ,9S9, and tie silver to
S933,SlS-a total of about S25, ,O0O, 600 of
bullion. The coinage amounted to SOL
6g4 ,S45 in gold, $54S,2I4 in silver, and
S469,SOO in cents-making in all nearly
forty-seven millions of coins of erery dc.
nomination. The report says that the de-
mand for the one and two cent pieces has
been unprecedented, and every effort has
been made TO meet it, but the demand still
continues, as the coin is bought up by bro
kers and sold at a premium, greatly to the
inconvenience of the public. River
