BY A MISERABLE WRETCH.

Roll on, thou ball, roll ont
Through pathless realms Of Space
Roll on
What though I'm in sorry case;
" hat though ! cannot meet my bis;
W hat though ! suffer toothachr's il~;
What though | swallow countless pills;
Never you mind
Roll on
Roll on, thou ball, roll on!
Through seas Of inky air
Roll on!
It's true I've got no shirts to wear;
It's true my butcher bin is due:
1t true my prospects all look blue
But don let that unsettle youl
Never yoU mind
Roll on

A dashing young bachelor lately appeared
in Central Park with two handsome ponies,
whose tails were done up to look like a lady's
waterfall, and cooped up in small fish nets
The resemblance was capital, and the team
created great sensation.

THE SPANISH SLAVE TRADE.-The Queen
of Spain has taken step toward aboishing
the Infamous system of Slavery and slave. trad
ing which remains as a stain upon Spanish civ
ilization. The authorities of the Spanish Gov:
ernmeut, particularly in the American and
tropical colonies, have been guilty of many
crimes in dealing with the negro. Cuba has
been made a depot for kidnapped negroes,
from whence they were brought into the Unit
ed States. Now it is directed that all negroes
taken in Africa and brought to Spanish col
onv as slaves shall be made free, with the OPP
ton of remaining in the colony and working
under contract or returning to Africa Other
negroes in the Spanish provinces of the Antil-
les will be protected in their freedom by Span
ish authority as soon as the present arrange
ment of an apprenticeship of five years shall
cease. "Froln themOment, says the Queens
minister 1.-THE Government leaves the eman'
cinated negroes in complete liberty to dispose
of their actions nothing can be allowed tC
trammel their freedom" Thus we find tha
Spain, as Christian Government, stamps the
Slave trade with the seal of the most abso
lute reprobaton, it also uses all its powers
to prevent those violations of treaties and con
niyance with many which have made Spanisl
honor bear bad name

"THB SOUTH CANNOT BE CONQUERED.

THE SOUTH CANNOT BE CONQUERED.
1t was boastfully asserted by the Seces-
sionists of this State during the first three
years of rebellion, that eight millions of
people fighting for their liberties could
never be subdued by any power that could
be brought against them-that history fur
nished no parallel for such subjugation-
that the last man would sooner die in the
last ditch. and dying, bequeath to his pos
terity the inheritance of eternal resistance;
that though we might destroy their armies,
their torn and scattered fragments would
fly to the mountain Businesses and impene-
trable swamps, where they would bear
aloft the standard of rebellion until our
Government, exhausted with its fruitless
efforts, would yield to them their indie
pendence. This is very pretty theory,
and if the rebels were fighting in just
cause it might have somewhat of a prac-
teal bearing. But as their leaders are
fighting to perpetuate an accursed aristoc-
racy. and to establish the Kingdom of Cot.
ton, the foundation of whose throne
should rest on slavery; and as the great
mass of the Southern armies do not know
exactly what they are fighting for the paral-
lels of history lose their significance.
That the rebels can be subjugated, and the
Union firmly re-established, is problem
that the last three months of the war has
quite thoroughly solved. Our secession
friends begin to recognize the fallacy Of
their former reckonings, and are making a
virtue of necessity by owning up whipped.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS ON MILITARY
DEsPorIsM." During his latter years, the
venerable John Quincy Adams was con-
sidered the wisest man in America. In
one of his later speeches he said:
I Law this down as the law of nations
l say that military authority takes, for the
time. the place of all municipal institu-
tons, and slavery among the rest; and
that under that state OF things, so far from
il being true that the States where slavery
exists have the exclusive management of
the subject, not only the President of the
United States, but the Commander of the
Army, has power to order the universal
emancipation of the slaves. . From
the instant that the slaVeholding states be-
come the theater of war, civil, servile or
foreign, from that instant the war powers
of Congress extend to interference with the
institution of slavery, in every way in
which it can be interfered with, from a
claim of indemnity for slaves taken or de-
stroyed, to the cession of States, burdened
with slavery, to foreign power. .
1t is war power; and when your coun-
try is actually in war, whether it be war
of invasion or war of insurrection, Con-
gress has the power to carry on the war,
and must carry it on, according to the
laws of war and by the laws of war, an
invaded country has all its laws and mu-
nicipal institutions swept by the board,
and martial power takes the place of them.
When two hostile armies are set in martial
array, the commanders of both armies
have power to emancipate the slaves in
the invaded territory.

ED1roRs GOLD HILL NEws-Gentie-
men II would ask permission through
the columns of your paper to give few
facts and figures, relative to certain mat
ter in which the soldiers in this camp are
all interested in. have reference to the
Military Bill now before our Legislature.
and again to come up in the Senate on
Wednesday next. Soldiers pay is $l6
per month-in greenbacks. Their allow
ance of clothing is $48 per annum-every
article having price affixed. A soldier
overdrawing his allowance, the amount
overdrawn is charged upon the next mus
ter roll, and deducted from his pay. Now,
sir, the allowance is inadequate to meet
the necessary requirements of the soldier,
even when not on daily duty; and taking
into consideration the fact that the soldiers
here are required to perform almost con-
slant manual labor, their pay from the
general Government is barely sufficient to
keep them in clothes. Should any one
draw comparison or speak of the soldiers
in the regular army having q sufficient
allowance of clothing, let me inform them
that the allowance in the regular army is
1859 79-l00 (see special order from Secre-
tary Of War, No. 220,) per annum, which
is nearly double the allowance to volun-
teers. Again, soldiers are expected 10
keep their equipments in order-to do
which they must supply themselves with
needles, thread, backing and polishing
brushes, and many other little though
necessary articles !; and if they cannot get
garments to fit, they have to get them
altered, mended or repaired, at their own
expense. Nearly all the soldiers use to-
bacco, which, in itself, will make quite an
inrosd into their $8 per month in coin.
Sir, the people of this State are loyal
they have so proven themselves. That
they are generous, you need but look in
the books of the Sanitary Fund, and there
behold the amount placed to their credit /;
and do believe the people of this State
would willingly and cheerfully pay some
thing to the soldiers here, who, to save
the Government expenses, will build their
own quarters, go into the woods and cut
their own wood, do their own teaming,
and much more labor, which, according
to the regulations, soldiers could not be
called upon to perform, and it is the per-
Torrance of such labor that necessitates
them to extra clothing and expenses.
Let reason and candor prevail, that JUS
tice may be done. Let not personalities,
prejudices, nor aspirations for self-gratiR-
cation, defeat the bill.
Yours, respectfully, "E."

BORNE Rocks WITH D1AaoNDs.-A
tool was patented at Washington, about a
year ago, and noticed by US at the time,
for boring rocks with cutting edge made
of diamonds. The invention was gener-
ally considered an impractcable idea, and
little was said or probably thought about
it by any person except the inventor
The American Artizan, however, now in
forms us that the tool has been put to ac-
tual and successful practice in boring for
oil wells in Pennsylvania. 1t consists of
tubular stock of steel, having attached
to it cutters composed of diamonds. 1t
makes an annular cut, leaving solid cone
of rock in the centre of the cut, The edi-
tor Of the, Artisan has seen a cone three
and half inches in diameter, taken from
afour and half inch bore, through some
OF the hardest rock at Oil Creek, Pa.
Eighteen inches are said to have been
bored through this rock in twenty min
ptes, when an ordinary drill would not
nave cut two inches in twenty-four hours!
II Is said that well which ordinarily re-
quIes SIX months to sink, may be bored
with this tool in one week.
q further important advantage which
may De derived from this drill is, that it
WIZ pore out broken drills. Many wells
Wnsn nearly completed have been neces-
sarliy abandoned from the breaking OF the
tool IN such manner as to defy the ordi-
nary means Of extraction.
we are without any information with
regard 70 the cost and wear Of the tool in
the operation; the paper from which we
derive these facts, merely informing US
that "the diamonds Of which the cutting
edges are formed are of an inferior quality
to those used in iewelry."

EASTERN NEWS.

The lines are not in working order, and
we have no telegraphic news from that d.
rection. The following summary Of the
latest Eastern intelligence is from dis
patches in yesterdays Sacramento Union :
Richmond journals say the rebel demon
stration on the James was part of plan
for destroying Grants depots, originated
by General Lee. The whole project failed.
Blair's mission is conceded to have had
no pacific result. Sherman has issued an
order for enisting the able bodied negroes
and colonizing the old men, women and
children on the sea islands, under the
superintendence of General Saxton,
who has so long supervised the negro
settlements at Port Royal. No important
military operations are reported. From
Europe we learn that blockade-runner,
bound for Wilmington, was wrecked of
the Mersey, on the 18th, the day Of the
capture of Fort Fisher. Many of her
crew persisted. Austria and Prussia are
having a difficulty" the ambition OF
Prussia giving cause for Hapsburg alarm.
