if they would put their trust in him and
attend 10 their own business it would be
n great benefit to the human race. They
are a working people, they cannot be idle,
They are bigots in everything, in moraIi-
ty and religion. They are cowardiy ana
bloodthirsty, they have only one idea at a
time and cannot think, they have no heart
and cannot feel. They will never pause
except amid ruin and desolation.
If they were through with the negro
tomorrow and peace declared, they would
get restless in less than three months, and
find out some other outlet for their phil
anthropy. Some other place where they
could assist the Lord, and not forget their
pocket. Accused Yankee race what
mischief you have done to the black man
as well as the white What country
YOU have devastated, ruined, and des-
troyed There are any amount of preach
ers among you but neither faith, hope, nor
charity. You may succeed in enslaving the
white race for time, but that will be
only for time You may succeed in
giving a nominal freedom to the poor
slave, but that will only be nominal. He
is destined to be 90 a hcwer of wood and
drawer of water to the white race while
they mingle in the same community. Ii
is contrary to the fitness of things that
two races 50 distinct should live together
on a perfect equality. If the white race
cannot predominant the coloced race
will
1t takes no philosophy to tell which ot
( the two races will hold The mastery.
Then you give them their freedom te

Dreadful Accident.

a dreadful accident occurred on the
Pennsylvania Railroad on last Friday,
near LiIly's Station in this county, by
which six or seven have lost their lives,
and many more injured. Some say the
the accident occurred by the breaking of
AN axle. Others say it was done by the
locomotive getting off the track, but as
the accounts we hear are conflicting we
are unable TO give a reliable version of
it.

The Freedman's Destiny.


We have seen no satisfactory account
yet what may be the probable destiny OF
the poor colored man. That the result
of this bitter contest of the American peo-
ple will end in the destruction of the in
stitution of slavery on this part OF the
American Continent is pretty certain at
this time. The daring experiment OF the
Southern people putting arms into the
hands of the slaves or even discussing the
subject indicates that they are awtully
in earnest with regard to their securing
their Independence, should it be at the
destruction of slavery Should the South
be able 10 secure their independence, the
poor coIored race might then be able to
secure their freedom, a local habitation
and a means of liviug, under the fostering
care Of their former masters and protec-
tors. But if the Southern people are
annihilated according to the present pro-
gramme of the war, we fear The destiny
of the dark man is very dark indeed.
Surely we could not expect to maintain
Of the government. The government
itself must be maintained at the expense
of the people, and no sane man would
think that order of things should be re-
versed, and that the government should
support this large body of people. The
northern climate don't suit them, nor can
they ever compete with the white men Of
the North; they have bodily strength
enough for manual labor, but they have
not the intellect of the white man. If
they make their home in the northern
States, they will dwindle away q the
contact with the white man as the In
dian has done. They would have 10 be
educated for years before they could be
Incorporated into the association of white
meE, and then only the very fewest num-
Der could arrive at any distinction. Sup
pose the South was conquered, the land
confiscatcd and parcelled to the conquer
ors, the colo:ed race let remain there to
work for their own living by giving them
some land. They would not work when
compelled, and their living and dcgrada-
ton would be worse than it ever has been
in servitnde. Again, suppose the Yam
KEGS who expect to get the land par
celed out to them for their loyalty would
institute a system of scrfdom or hired
labor among them, would their condition
bc then bettered We fear their new
masters would be worse than their old
ones. They will never see themselves so
well fed, so well clothed and so comforta-
bly, housed as they were at the breaking
out of this war.
Nor indeed was any pcasantry in Eu-
rope in rs comfortable condition as these
were. They have suffered awfully since,
at least some of those that obtained their
freedom. Their destiny is in the hands
of Providence, as are that of all other
beings, and we must confess we would be
better pleased if these rabid Abolitionists
would let that Divine Being work it out.
These Abolition;sts are arestless people
and are generally dissatisfied at the slow
operations of Providence. They think
they can render him assistance and assist

A Sleigh Ride.

On last Thursday we were invited by
our excellent friend the District Attorney
to take a sleigh ride, and as we had no
good chance this winter and the snow
seeming not to be permanent institution,
we gladly embraced the opportunity. In
due time lie drove around, with fine
equipage, and we were carefully loaded
in, and started an eastern course, and i'll
a short time we landed at the House Of
Commons, at Crcsson, or as it is some
times called the Lower House. This
house is kept by a perfect gentleman, one
who had been long accustomed to work
up everything TO the rule, to scribe truly,
and work truly to the scribe so he
thought, we supposed that our rule of
conduct might have been more closely
worked up, and he was right. We then
went up to the Summit and saw our
friends there and staid there fer some
time.
The weather became very warm and
balmy then, the longer we staid in place,
the warmer the weather seemed to get.
So we thought we would 90 and make our
base of supplies at Loretto, from whence
we could make raid in any direction
! and not bc too far from our base. We
! cot TO Loretto in due time and in good
/ order. We stopped with old Mr.. Myers,
and as we were a little cold, we thought
we would have something to warm US.
! So he had the very thing, warm water
and nutmeg. This nutmeg has fine calo-
/ ric powers, if it is we'll got up. 1t is n
round, hard substance, very small, and is
/ filed off into the glass in small particles
/ like the filings of steel SO with a few
/ applications of that we felt remarkably
| comfortable, and went to bed and slept
soundly. Next morning we called and
! saw our friends in Loretto. From thence
we started for Gallitzin, fine sleighing
/ road, it is very much used now on account
/ of the various sawmills on the route The
weather was good and the mornings nut
megs kept US quito comfortable. Our
host of Gallitzin, is perfect gentleman,
he knew our wants and cheerfully supplied
them, and would take neither fee nor re-
ward. We still had hankering after
nutmegs, and limited so to the landlord,
but he said he had megS would suit us
better, and indeed he was right He
brought us out pitcher of warm milk,
but it was the most palatable and strong
milk we ever drank. After drinking that
milk we seemed to forget that there was a

Lowry and Dodge.

Lowry and Dodge.
Major r. l. Dodge /" of the regular
whose heaquarters are at Harris F.
burg, exercises a general supervision over (
enlisted and drafted soldiers from Pennsyl- .
vania. 1t Is said that bad state OF feeling
exists between him and Gov Curtin and
that Dodge has poasted to a State Sena-
tor, Morrow Is. Lowry, that he dodge
was placed iii his present position for the
express purpose of annoying the Governor
An effort is being made in the Senate,
headed by Lowry, TO effect Dodgc's re-
moval from office and in speech on that
question few days ago, the aforesaid
Lowry, is reported in the papers TO have
been then and there delivered, as follows:
q The Governor had the confidence of
the soldiers and people of Pennsylvania
and if the citizens OF the mountains and
valleys believed, tiat Dodge ,caS placed
here to a",oy Gorenor C1rtn, tie ntOta-
ttinS tcouid meh wM Indignation and tie

of ''western eloquence,'' but this effort of

mountain spoken of by the Latin poet, as
having been in labor and brought forth a
mouse, was engaged in a very small bust
ness. Bat Lowry's Pennsylvania noun
tains are to 20 through a process of self
destruction, as novel as sublime. We
sincerely hope however that the citizens
of ou- mountains and Valleys will not
believe that Major Dodge holds his office
merely to annoy Governor Curtin, for in
that event we would as soon dwell be
meath the yawning crater of Mount We
suvius as in Pennsylvania. And yet it
would be magnificent spectacle, proNi-

The Grit OF Grant.

A peculiar kind of grit, not falling un-
der any of the special expressions have
noted, yet partsking in some degree of all,
is illustrated in the character Of Lieutenant
General Grant. Without an atom ofpre-
cisiOn or rhetoric, with none of the exter-
nal signs of energy and intrepidity, max
ing no parade Of the immovable purpose
iron nerve, and silent, penetrating intelli-
geuce God has put into him, his tranquil
greatness is hidden from superficial scrutiny
behind cigar, as President Lineoln's is
behind joke. When anybody tries to
COAX, csjOle, overawe, browbest, or deceive,
Lincoln, Is reminded of 8 story; when
anybody tries the same game with IGfsnt,
the general listens And-smokes. If you
try to wheedle out of him his plans for a
campaign, he stolidly smokes; if you call
him an imbecile and blunderer, he bland
ly lights another cigar; if you praise him
ss the greatest general living, he plseidly
returns the puff from his regRlis; and if
you tell him he should run for the presi-
dency, it does not disturb the equanimity
with which he inhsles and exhsles the un-
substantial vspor which typifies the poll
ticisn's promises. While you are wonder
ing what kind Of man this creature
without tongue is you are suddenly elscs
trifed with the news Of some splendid vic
tory. proving that, behind the cigar, and
behind the face discharged of all tell-tsle
expression, is the best brain TO plan, and
the strongest heart to dare among the gen.
erals Of the Republic.-E. P. WhipPLe in

DAILY LEADER.


TCorrseponoence n. y. 11nes
Mr.. Lincoln, accompanied by his young
son and Admiral Porter, arrived st the
Rockets at 2 P. NJ, in the Malvern, and
at once proceeded TO the mansion Of Ex-
President Davis, now the headquarters of
Moi Gen. Weitzel.
The arrival Of the President soon got
noised abroad, and the colored population
turned out in great force, and for g time
blocksded the quarters Of the President,
cheering voeilerously.
It was to be expected, that population
that three days since were in slavery,
should eyinee strong desire TO look upon
thes man whose edict had struck forever
the manaeles from their limbs. A consid-
erable number of the white population
eheered the President heartily, and but for
the order of the Provost Marzhal, issued
yesterday, ordering them TO remain within
their homes quietly for 8 few days, with
out doubt there would have been q lsrge
addition TO the numbers present. After q
short interval the President held levee-
General Devins introducing all the officers
present. The President shook hands with
each, and received the hearty congratula-
tions of sll.
The President, partly attended by Gen
erals " eitzel, DeviDs, Shepley, and brill
liant staff of officers, then made 8 tour
round the city-drove rapidly round the
capitol-stopping for a few moments to
eimire CrsWford's magnificent statue of
of Washington, in the grounds of the cspi-
tol, and returned TO GEL eral WeitzePs
headquarters st $50.

An English EIOpement.

The Euglish papers bring details of an
elopement from 'qittle market town on
the borders of Hampshire" One of the
parties was q young gentleman closely re-
lated to 8 royal parsonage, student at q
military academy receiving the usual edu-
cation afforded cadets. This young person
became ensmored with rustic beauty,
poor but respectable. There were social
and parental obstacles 10 8 marriage, so an
elopement was decided upon. The parties
LETT the village by the train and went
northward. It was q day or two before
the truants were found, and then they we're
discovered in q small cottage before turf
fire, at breakfast and married. A compro-
mise was effected, and the father of the
gentleman, clergyman in high position
in the Church Of England, st first highly
indignant with his son, ultimately relented,
and consented 10 pay their passage to Aus
tralis, if they would agree to expiate their
folly by this species of exile. The newly
married couple accepted the offer and the
stonement, and were speedily on the way
TO their destination.
