BISHOP HIeILyANE ON THE RESULTS
-. .,,s vo OF THE WAR.uFoasq Il III


At a meeting held in Philadelphia on
the14th insts to- inaugurate a Freed
mems Aid Commission, Bishop McIlyane
occupied the Chair, and made the open
ing address, in which -occHEthe following
passages: .issse,ee'i oiso ,s'.'si si' f'oi-i
God has wonderfully blessed our land.
Clouds and darkness have been round
about it. Judgment and mercy have de-
scended upon US, mingled up together;
bat mercy .transcended. But I know not
anything in which God has displayed his
goodness and mercy in this land more than
in the midst Of the red sea Of blood and
suffering cut ,iof which we have been
brcughf Now we have escaped from all
evils, k1oK what in mercy that God has
gwen us next to, the re-establishment of
the Union over the whole land, and the
reinstatement Of the government over the
States that have been disowning it-Isa
next to it Gods great mercyis IN having
broken up the bonds of the oppressor.--

!, / am utterly amazed at looking at the
hand God In all this. look away back
and remember the provisions Of the Con-
stitution in regard to slavery Not that |
have intended to speak or insinuate the
Slightest Thought derogatory to that In
strumenG consider it one of the won-
ders Of the age in which it was fashioned.
But nevertheless remembering what pro-
visions had to be surmonnted before ever
finger could touch slavery, remembering
howit was like a great mountain in our
path, how it was utterly intact, and we
could not get around il, for 1t stood before
us impossible to be moved out of the way
l have never yet seen any way by which
we could have escaped that difficulty and
thrown off that awful burden, and that
dreadful CURSE except in the way, the
wonderful way, that God opened and pro-
videds The way, the very way, which
was taken to do the opposite, to rivet the
chains, and ,fsstsu more 4erfeCtly the bars
of bondage. The war'which was intend
ed forssll'fhis, was the key and the ham
mer which ssmote off the chains. And
God allowed this attempt to throw off our
laws, TO give our Government the oppor-
tunity for which we now rejoice, as we
know what it %ss. In this wonderful dis
pensationof Gods providence, by leading
the attempted destruction of law tosthrow
aside every chain, TO make every house of
bondage empty every captive free, we are
lednowrto acknowledge the goodness of
God.

Little Bessie wandered through the
kitchen and out into the wood-shed, where
her papa sawed wood. But no papa was
there this time; only great black hole in
the fooT, that looked so black and so deep
Bessie was afraid to 90 near it. But some
body must have heard the patter of little
feet, for suddenly voice called out of the
deep hole-:-sBessie; come here y 1t SCUM
ded like her papa's voice and the little

edge. t.Bessie, can YOU see me ?" said the
voice again. "No, is it you,- papa?" eyes,

Bessie hesitated, bent oyer the edge,
called, Are you shTs, yod're there, papa ?"
then shut her eyes tight, caught her breath,

found herself safe in her fathers arms.
God is the fstherof us all G Weseannot

darkness Of the future. But fear it not.

II :. -: - rHOGs.

The Ohio Former of last week has the
following in relation to hogs in Ohio:
The shippers of live hogs are now pay
ing Ohio farmers eleven cents per pound
for anything of a porcine nature that has
four legs-and it astonishes us to learn
that sensible men, with their fields and
cribs full Of corn worth only fiftycents
busheL are selling all their light hogs
half grown shoats-because the price
tempts them Why, at eleven cents per
pound for hogs, corn properly fed, would
realize to the feeder certainly not less than
one dollar per bushel. We mean fed, mot
dribbled out. We have heard doubts ex-r
pressed as to whether farmers would rei
serve hogs enough for their own use. lit
is quite sure that "a pretty clean sweep is
being made by the stock dealers. i,lg,ei.

Property formerly belonging to the So
called Confederate government is being
rapidly collected lat Mobile, Selma and
Montgomery. Every bodyis is running mad
on the cotton question. Parties are en-
gagged in stealing both private and gov
fernment cotton. The swamps along the
Tombigbee and Black Warrior rivers are
full of it. Other parties are engaged in
hunting cotton stolen from the govern
ment Treasury agents are paying fifty
dollars per bale for stolen Gotten, Strange
as is may seem there are thousands Of
bales recovered but the theft is never
caught! Half of the citizens are engaged
in this businss, and after stealing it prefer
to deliver it as stolen, rather than run the
risk Of selling it No doubt the agents
are, in many cases, concerned in it. ~
Agents are usually citizens fthe counties
in which they operate, and consider any

DICK TURPIN IN THE on REGIONS. !

The spirit of Dick Turpin seems to per-
vade the oil regions, at present, just as it
pervaded the gold regions Of California
and Australia, in the early days Of the gold
fever. ioI Highwaymen lurk in the ravines
and by4ways of the new Ell Dorado, and
pou1ice upon every oil speculator, who
comes within striking distance. These
highwaymen are becoming alarminglyyi 'iii: nd-
iniefous, especially in the vicinity of Pit
hole. The other evening, wealthy oil
man was riding along the road, near Pit
hole, when he was suddenly confronted by
Dick Tufpin, and iordered" to hand over
what s'swag" he had abott him. Instead
of complying; he put spurs Q to his horse
and galloped iaway IN the darkness. a a
bullet from Dicks revolver followed him,
andpassed between his horses head and
his own. Fortunately he was unharmed.
Riding up to the first house that he came
to, hereused the "nieh folks" and offered
five hundred dollars toany one who would
60 back and capture or marin the robbefo
"A pursuit was instituted but it failed.-
This is but one instance in a hundred Of
robBeries and attempted robberies. The
spirit of Dick Turpin is bold and defiant,
and the number of freebootersis is increasing.
In many sections of the-oi regions Vigil
ance Committees have been formed. Ev-
cry robber who falls into their hands is
bound to swing from the first tree, ,ss'War
power" is to rule in Oildom.-- Clegelqnd

have ratified the constitutional amendments

passed it. The Legislature of every State

only exceptions apprebended are the States

The next elections, however, will bring
into power class OF men who will wheel
into the grand column of ratification. No
particular time is set and the statutes Of
Limitation will not ron against the
amendment. Its triumph is certain within
the next few months. We presume that
our own legislature will at once take it up
and pass it, So far as we are informed
there is rot likely to be dissenting voice
in either branch.

to be sold again. By statutes enacted
previous to that, every negro was presum-
ed to be slave, unless he could prove he
was free, and if he could not produce evi.
dence of his freedom he was let for year
to work for the benefit of the county treas
ury. There we're other laws of a similar
nature. They were designed to absolutely
prevent negro immigration, and to drive
out, if possible, the negroes already resi-.
deut in the State. tits singular to read that
John Logan, the now distinguished General,
and Mr.. KuykendalI, the newly elected re-
publican Congressman from Egypt, were
nstrumentaliusecuriug the passage of some
of these laws. Their present position
shows what an advance the public senti-
meut of the vert has made within few
years ia respectto the rights of the blacks.
For Logan and Kuykendall simply repre-

and it is not doubted that the House Of
