An Abolition paper refers to the SIR
mise when Abraham Lincoln was assass-
mated, that he was taken away that
johnson might come in and pursue the
traitors with more frmness and severity.
The editor says this surmise about the
designs of Providence is now given up.
So Divine Providence did not have MI.
Lincoln killed to insure the severe punish
ment of rebels II will be interesting
now to see how those seers viii accoGnt
for the assassination OF the late PGe,i
dent Johnson is not the ghoul they
thought he might be. The more he CON
templates the prospect, the less disposed
he may become to he tcioci"us. He may
let off the rebels easy instead of pUnish-
ing them as il was intended lie should
We should not la surprised if the theoio
gians should come 10 he conclusion that
Providence had made a mistake

THE RLAIn MIssION.

NEW AORhl jan 4
The Tr15zse's Washington special says:
All that is known of the Blair Mission is
this. The President was fully apprised Of
the motives and purposes that induced the
elder Blair to desire to 60 to Richmond,
but he declined to make himself response
bic for the journey. BE would not give
written authorization of it, nor officially
promote it, but he told Mr.. Blair that he
should allow General Grant to act on his
own sense of duty and policy in forward
ing him to Richmond or refusing him
passage through our lines. 1t is under
Stood here that when the Blairs reached
Grants headquarters, telegram from
the Secretary of War was there
ahead of them, apprising the General
that their mission to Richmond was self
assumed and without the authority Of the
President, and suggesting in the spirit and
tenor of the dispatch if not in the words,
that the mission had better be stopped.
The Blair's stayed at headquarters two
days and then retrsced their way home.
It is understood that Montgomery is not to
20 into Richmond with his fsther, but that
he was to await his return TO City Point.
To strip this mission of all diplomatic char
scters, rumor has been pushed to-day
that Mr.. Blair simply endeaYored to get 70
Richmond to recover portions of his poft-
ical correspondence taken last year by
Breckenridge from his mansion at Silver
Springs and which is of so delicate a char
acter, that mercy to living politicians, and
deceney to dead ones required that it should
be recovered and suppressed at all hsz-
ards. -

Affairs In tennessee.

A Nashville letter, dated December 81st
says:
The crossing of the rebel garrison of
300 men, before taking up the Pontoon
bridge near Florence, gave rise to the re-
port that the main army was across the
river. Prisoners were active in circHla-
ting this report, which suppose, origins
ted as have stated above.
General Thomas has had his headqusr-
ters near Pulaski for some time past, with
the Fourth nnrps. but the trnnpa have now
moved considerable distance below the
town, and are still on the advance.
Squads of prisoners are occasionally
brought in, but they are getting scarce, as
the front moves further away. There are
considerable sccessions expected in the
course of the next few days-mostly strsg-
glers and deserters, picked up in the march
of the army below Pulaski.
There has bean no fighting of any &C
count since the cavalry brush at Spring
Hill; occasionally, however, the advance
has skirmished slightly with the enemy's
rear, the only result being an accelerated
movement on the part of the rebels.

CMcINNATI, Jan. Z


A London correspondent of the New
York Herald writes; Your new kingdom
Of petrolis is creating ono or two small
revolutions in Europe Ithas struck one
branch Of industry that few would suspect
was in danger. Letters from Italy say that
the advent of American coal oil has SO re-
duce1 the demand for olive oil that there
is no profit IN their olive orchards, and that
no more win be planted, while theold ones
are, many of them, being cut down. You
know that olive oil is used in the suoth of
Europe for purposes Of illumination, for
fabrication, and numerous household and
manufacturing purposes as well as for the
table. For the most of these purposes
coal oil is both better and cheaper. The
grease from the Ohio pig adulterated much
olive oil heretofore, and cheRpened it; and
now the new @Oil Dorado" is going to come
in and complete the destruction Of one Of
the most ancient agricultural pursuits Of
the shores of the Mediterranean, the leVant
of the East-a production noted since be-
fore the time Of our Saviour.
Here in England the results seem des-
tined to be quite as great. No oil wells OF
deposits have been found as yet, and as
the coal mines are, many Of them two OF
four thousand feet deep it may be safely in
ferred that little or none Of the petroleum
exists under these islands. There are
however, three coal mines in Wales that
produce coal that by heat and distillation
produces good coal oil. And these mines
have already been laid under contribution
by an enterprising American, who has cen
tracted for all the coal produce for fifty
years. When his engines, furnces and
machinery are all completed, he expects &c
use FIVE hundred tons day, and out Of
each ton to make from one hundred to one
hundred and twenty gallons of oil, at q net
profit of pound sterling (s5) a ton.
