We devote the first page of Ths Wing to-
the very able speech of Mr.. Crcswell, de-
livered in the House on the 9TH inst 1t Is a
mastery argument in favor of abolishing
slavery throughout the entire domain, by
constitutional amendment, as provided for
in that instrument. Mr.. Creswell paints in
glowing pictures the history of slavery in
Maryland, with the constantly increasing ar
rogance and presumption of the slave power.
The speech deserves a careful perusal from
every reader, and we bespeak for it such.
1t will be the regret of every true lover of
his country, that the secession influence was
permitted to dominate in this Congressional
District at the last fall election, by which
means Mr.. Creswell was not returned to
Congress the next term.
We say permitted, for we hold it to be a
cardinal principle in republican govern
ment that proselytes of treason and rebels
in favor Of aristocracy-and negro aristoc
racy, too, the meanest under heaven, have
no rights except, perhaps, to be hung.
Tie Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazete says of Mr.. Creswell' S
late speech
Mr.. Creswell, of Maryland. took the
House by surprise with a speech in favor of
the constitutional amendment prohibiting
slavery, so able and even eloquent as to re-
ceivc the closest attention during its delivery,
loud manifestations of applause from mem
bers on the floor, and at its close an eulogy
from Thad. Stevens, in the opening remarks
of the speech with which he followed it,
more hearty and generous than the old vet
Gran gives, except in the rarest cases. Mr..
Creswell's anti-slavery utterances were of
the most intensely radical character, and yet
they gained weight from the fact, which he
took care to emphasize, that he came of
Maryland slavebolding ancestry.

CANNED PEACHES. Mr.. Il. Il. Hon.


per, of Chesapeake City presented us with
couple of cans of peaches, put up without
sugar. The peaches were pared and thrown
in cold water, which preserves the color of
the peach, Exposure to the air tending to
darken the fruit. To pat up fruit in this
mode the pieces should be taken from the
water ard laid closely in the jars. When
full pour in cold water till it is covered, and
place the jars in a pot of boiling water, where
they should remain about ten minutes. The
lids are then put on and Theoretically sealed
in the ordinary way. Fruit canned in this
manner retains its native freshness equally
well as when put up with sugar. The latter
ingredient can be added when the fruit is
brought to the table for use. This mode is
decidedly economical, and equal to any other
process for cannig fruits.

Washington, Jan. II, 1865.
SRI have to reply to your letter Of the
9th inst. that all articles repaired, as well
as engines, cars and carriages, are subject to
pay the duties on the repairing. if the repairs
increase the value ten per cent. 1t conse-
qucntly extends to articles of dress-boots,
shoes, &C. The rule is, after the repair is
complete to determine the value Of the ar
ticle; then if the cost Of repairing is one
eleventh of the value, the repair is to be
taxed. For instance, pair Of boots is re-
paired, valued at $40 when repaired, the
cost of repairing is 81 or over; that cost is
subject to be taxed.

y KGLLED.-Rob't Donaldson, brakes
man on a freight train, was thrown from, and
killed by the cars, at North East station, on
Monday last. He was, it is stated, putting
on the brake, and instead Of using the little
"dog' intended to hold the brake when it is
on, he attempted to hold it, when sudden
move of the train threw him on the track,
the cars passing over him and cutting him
fearfully about the abdomen. But this, it is
thought, would not have proved fatal, had
he not been run over second time, by the
same train and it is stated, to the knowl
edge of the engineer. The young man was
