A Touching Tribute 10 the Memory Of
Abraham L;ncOIn.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Tri-
bune writing from Florence, Italy, says ::
"Among the first incidents which met my
eyes as | entered Italy were one or two
which are perhaps not altogether unwor,

particular may have peculiar Interest
for American readers. | was walking
through the narrow streets of the little
town Of Lugano, when my eyes were at
tracted by a well known portrait uspended
10 front of small book store. The por-
tIait was that of Abraham Lincol1 aud
you will not wonder that the sight alone
of the familiar features arrested ones

quaint, medieval, out-of-the-way place,
looking around upon a scene SO wholly

by an irresistible impulse of respect to

found beneath it 10 writing, and in ltal-
ian, an inscription that showed that the
little portrait had in fact been attached
to his house by the owner like sacred
image, at once a testimony Of his OVID

men, so long shall the name of him who
redeemed four millions Of slaves from

Gov, Perry of South Carolina.

The election of Governor Perry to the
United States. Senate, from South Carolina,
we don't think is anything to rejoice over
That gentleman is evidently crooked stick
and of not much account. He has succeeded
however in getting his bread buttered tolera-
bly, thick, but it is somewhat doubtful wheth-
er he eats it this winter in the Senate In
his message to the Legislature, he undertakes
to argue away the test oath, and doubts wheth-
er there is q man in South Carolina who can
take it "without committing perjury" In
addition, he argues for the payment of the
rebel debt, which President Johnson holds tc
be the objectionable sin 80 far as reconstrue.

beds, is most satisfactory. Aswill be seen
by his letter he deals in facts and figures
He knows whereof be speaks. We doubt
whether there is a mae living who has
more knowledge Of the extent of the coal
deposits of Mexican county than he. But
the people of this region of country do
not require the evidence Of Mr.. Jones or
Mr.. Ball, who, By the way is one of the
most practical business men in North
Western Pennsylvania, to convince them
Of the existence of immense coal deposits
| in Mexican county. Coal from the Bun
ker Hill mines is now being used for fue!
in most every residence in this borough,
Notwithstanding our hills and vailies are
covered with the very best of fuel timber.
| We use the coal because it is the most
desirable fuel in every respect. We have
VISITED the beds from which this coal is
taken, and in one drift we measured a
wall of solid coal before US of upwards Of
five feet in thickness. Hundreds of our
citizens have seen this vein and will bear
witness to what We here assert. We
know not bow much territory this vein Of
coal uDderlies but from the nature of the
country around it we should judge it
EXTENDED through thousands of acres
enough, at least to supply the Buffalo
and hundred more such markets a cen.
tury to come. This opening is on lands
owned by the Butterfelds of New York,
but it extends under thousands of acres
cf territory belonging to other parties
which can now be purchased at reason
able figure. We know that companies
have been organized for the purpose of
developing the coal regions of the east
ern portion of this county, and that they
have become discouraged and abandoned
their enterprises. Such was the case
with Rochester company, who purchased
several thousand acres Of land Without
exaniiningit, merely upon representations
of some mcn from their own region of
country, who owned the land and wanted
to sell, and it proved worthless territory.
Our county is now cursed by that CON-
panY because scouudrelS from their own
region of country swindled them. All
we ask is an investigation, and if the
coal is not here, we ask no men to invest
their money in building their railroads to
us. We might add that hundreds of
tons of coal are being mined daily from
the Lafayette beds, few miles west of
this place to be shipped on the Buffalo
and Bradford R. r., and no one in this
section of the country believes that there
is anything like the amount of coal in
that region that exists south of us.-He-

And ,cAercas, righteousness exaltctl

And | do further recommend that on

The Result.

Aswas expected the party which during
the past four years, cbeered when the Rebels
were victorious and disparaged the Union
successes, sneered at our armies and opposed
the means employed to fill them, expressed
themselves confident of the So called South
ern Confederacys ability to gain an lnde-
pendence, and secuted the idea of the North
ever subduing it, has received this fall a
complete 'Waterloo defeat"
Since the formation Of political parties IN
this country, 70 party has ever been so com
pletely and Overwhelmingly defeated, van
Quished, subdued, "cleaned out" and abSo-
lutelv nsent to the shades" as the would-be-
called remnant of what was and perhaps
oueht-to- De Democratic party. Its last hope
New Jersey-has failed Evel the people
whose soul laughs when Camden 4 Amboy
laughs, and whose eyes are filled with tears
when Camden & Amboy cries, have taken
from about heir minds and hearts the green
covering of their fore fathers, have walked
bravely over the Tinds of locofocoism, and
elected Governor whose heart loves liberty
and council whose voice will help swell
the call of Freedom to the Slave. Democ-
racy truly are thy days, dark days; and thy
nights are nights of weeping
After the October election it was claimed
by the leaders of the Democratic party that
the campaign had been too shoIt, that the
f,I1, tba
and that if the election had occurred q few
weeks later they would have carried it by
larger majority than the Republicans did.
We are really curious to see what reason
they will assign for the November defeat.
They cannot say that they did not have time
to discuss the issues, that they were not fully
brought out by the canVassers, in all the
States, that they did not have the assistance
of the Weed-Greely and Greely-Trumbull
Quarrels, to say nothing of Wendell Phillips,
Montgomery Blair, and that bug-bea for
modern Democratic children-negro suffrage
Truly, here was ever so much food for scan
dal, eloquence, and pseudo -indignation.-
Weakened Republicans, whose love of
Office was greater than their love of principle,
secured nmilk- -and-water" platforms, and
mounted them, hoping by their mighty infu-
ence to re-cement the rotten Ship Democracy
and at the same time become captains OF it.
How deceptive are human calculations, and
how widelusive human hopes
Democracy claimed the President and de-
nounced Republicans because they did not
cry aloud the honors of Andy Johnson and
fnr the present and future TO live by
bis policy. This did vow ~"ll and was
catching quite number Of the simple virgins
in the Republican party, when they received
a blow from that same Andy John9on, in his
speech to the Colored Troops Of the District
OF Columbia, which sent them reeling in the
wind, their last hope gone.
1t was simply ridiculous to suppose that
the intelligent people of the North would SO
soon call back to power party which was
openly leagued with treason for four years.
The result is punishment commensurate
with their guilt. They have no State Gov
ernment in the North whose centre claims
attachmen to their party. SIC transit Gloria

OREGON s WONDERFUL SUNKEN LAKE.
Several of our citizens returned last
week from visit to the Great Suoken
Lake, situated in the Cascade mountains,
about seventy five miles northeast from
Jacksonville This Lake rivals the fam
Gus valley Of Sinbad the sailor. 1t is
thought to average two thousand feet
down to the water al around. The walls
are almost perpendicular, running down
into the water leaving no beach. The
depth Of the water is unknown, and its
surface is smooth and unruffled, as it lies
so far below the surface of the mountain
that the air currents do not affect it. It's
length is estimated at twelve miles, and
its width at ten. There is an island in
the centre, having trees upon it. No
living man ever has, aud probably never
will, be able to reach the waters edge.
It lies silent, sill, aud mysterious in the
bosom of the "everlasting hills" like a
huge well scooped out by the hands of
giant geni Of the mountains, in the un-
known ages gone by, and around it the
primeyal forests watch and ward are
keeping.
The visiting party fred rifle several
times into the water al an angle of forty
FIVE degrees, and were able to note sew
eral seconds of time from the report of
the gun until the bail struck the water.
Such thing seems impossible, but it is
vouched for by some of our most reliable
citizens. The lake is certainly a most
remarkable curiosity,-JachsonviHe Sen
