THREE KINDS OF ARMY News. s.-There
are three kinds of " Army News" says
the Philadelphia Inquirer, in spirit of
contrition and confession. The best, most
satisfactory, and which contains some
thing tangible, is news based on orders
from headquarters, regarding preparations
for movements, or the official announce
ments Of victories elsewhere, &C., com
municated to the troops through their
immediate commanders. Next in order
comes chin news which consists in some
body hearing something from somebody
else, which somebody told him he got
from somebody who heard it from a reli-
able source, that something had taken
place somewhere, or something would un-
doubtedly occur before long. The next
and last on the list is cook-hous news,
which contains exagerations, impossible
ties, and oftentimes such evident impossi-
bilities that no one, save an ebony cook,
would be thought capable Of disseminate
ing it through the camps. The Inquirer
might have iruthfully added that the bulk
Of army nows received by it and its Phil
adelphia contemporaries is Of the chin "
and" cook-house " variety.

The First Proposition to Dissolve the
aii n Union.

On the oath of January, lS42, John
Quincy Adams presented the following
petition to Congress:
"To the Congress Of tie United States.
"Tho undersigned, citizens of Haver-
hill, in the Commonwealth Of Massachu-
setts, pray that you will Immediately
adopt measures to divide the Union of
these States.
,"Fyrst, Because no Union can be agree
able or permanent which does not present
prospects of reciprocal benefit.
"Second, Because vast proportion OF
tho resources of one section of the Union
is annually drained to sustain the views
and course of another section, without
any adequate return.
"7Aird, Because (judging from the
history of past nations) this Union, if
persisted in, in the course Of things, will
certainly oyerwhelm this whole nation in
utter destruction"
The Boston Courier, in referring to
this petition makes the following signifi-
cant statement:
"The petition was signed with the
names Of forty-four citizens of Haverhil,
forty of whom are still living, and every
one of them supporters of the admins
tration, and Of the war as it is now con-
Quoted"
1t is evident that these men do not be-
lieve that the abolition party is Union
party, and we should like some ingenious
Lincoln man to explain how it is that not
only these, but every northern disunion-
ist, are members Of the republican party.

The Chicago correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser gives an interesting account of a
descent which he lately made into the tun-
mel which is being made under Lake Mich
igan for the purpose of supplying the city
Of Chicago with good water. The excava-
tion is about thirty feet under the lake, and
it has attained the length of 4, l40 feet. AT
every thousand feet, side chambers have
been built in which the masons work, it
being found impossible to use the mortar
made above ground. A track extends the
whole length of the tunnel, and the carsare
run out by mules. The bottom of the land
shaft is about seventy-five feet below the
surface of the earth. The party to which
the writer was attached filled two cars,
which, as soon as they were seated, rushed
with them into total darkness, relieved only
by few dim, fickering miner lamps. A
shudder might well thrill each heart to
think that the great inland sea was over
their heads, with only about thirty feet OF
soil between them though 1t was some re-
lief to know that there were five inches of
arch brick between each foot of earth. Gas
is still occasionally met with, but no serious
accidents have happened. Not long since
the workmen heard the paddles of steam
er passing overhead, and 1t caused much
fright; but now it is a common occurrence.
The tunnel is to end about two miles ont In.
the lake, and 1t will probably be completed
by another year.

Changes in the Climate of Europe.

In Mallett's Northern AntiqIties-a scarce
old book-he shows that the degrees of cold
at this time are much less severe than for
merly The rivers Loire and Rhone, in
Gaul, were regularly frozen over every
year, so that whole armies, with their car
riages and baggage, could march over them.
Even the Tiber froze at Rome; and Juvenal
says that it was requisite to break the ice
in winter, in order to come at the water Of
the river. Many passages in Horace sup
pose the streets of Rome to be full of ice
and snow; and Ovid assures us that the
Black Sea was frozen annually. The latter
writer relates several circumstances con-
cerning that climate which at present
agree only with Norway and Sweden. The
forests of Thrace and Pannonia were full
of bears and wild boars, and the northern
part of Spain was little inhabited for the
same cause. Indeed all the ancients who
mention the climate of Gaul, Germany,
Pannonia and Thrace, speak of it as almost
insupportable, and agree that the ground
was covered with snew the greatest part
of the year, being incapable of producing
olives, grapes and most other fruits. Mr.
Mallett conceives that, the forests being
cleared away, the face of the country cul-
tivated, and the marshy places drained, the
moist eXhalations which generate cold must
be considerably lessened, and that the rays
of the sun must have a ireer access to warm
the earth. In addition to the general
causes which insensibly effect the destruc-
ton of forests, it was formerly common to
set them)on fire in order to procure fertile
fields. One of the Kings of Sweden was sur
named the "Wood- Cutter, ''for having clear
ed vast provinces by telling the trees with
which they were covered. Immense forests
were also thus cleared away in Norway and
Denmark.
A similar change in the climate. and for
the same causes, has been gradually going
on i'm our own country since its settlement
by Europeans. "The Oldest inhabitant" Of
any neighborhood can remember when the
winters were much more severe than they
now are ....| F.. .f

Interesting Historic Facts.
From tina rittsbnrg Commercial.

In 1874. the existing authorities in
Florida which were ut that time Spanish,
encouraged the negroes of South Caro-
lima to leave their masters and come into
the Spanish colony. There were, ut that
period, about 10000 slaves in South
Carolina. Whatever were the induce
ments held out to the slaves, they were
successful. and quite large number be-
came fugitive slaves. Between the two
colonies, belonging to different Govern
ments. there was no fugitive slave law
for their return. \ regiment was organ
lied, which wa. composed of these run
aways 1t was officered by Spaniards,
bnt the negroes composing the rank and
file wore the same uniform as the Span
ish soldiers and received the same pay.
In November, 1II5, tue revolution
having assumed a serious character, the
British Governor OF Virginia, Lord Dun
more, issued a proclamation in behalf
Of the royal interests, calling all classes
of the kings subjects TO rally to his
standard The most striking pecuiiari-
ty, however, of the proclamation, is the
special address TO indented persons,
negroes and others" promising freedom
TO all who should espouse the Kings
cause and maintain it by force of arms.
Freeing and arming the negroes was a
war measure nearly century ago, and
that in Virginia, under British authority.
In connection with this il is curious to
observe that in the same year, 1T15, the
! Committee of safety of Massachusetts
decided that, as it was contest for free
/ dom, none but free men should be ad
mitted into the army, and that slaves
should not be received as soldiers, on
+ the side of the colonies, on any con
! sideration whatever. The argum ent for
the exclusion of slaves was the same as
that OF the United States in opposing
! the late insurrection, when slaves were
T freed before they became soldiers.

Romance on the Rail.

\ pretty little bit of romance develop
ed itself in one of the State street cars
on Friday. Among the passenger was u
pale, quiet, little woman, plainly dressed,
and very pretty withal. Presently
one legged soldier labored into the car
on his crutches. The seats wero crowd
ed, and the soldier had to stand. The
young woman got up, pulled the blue
sleeve and pointed to the seat she had
vacated For the first time, as he
turned, she had full view of his face,
and neither of them paid any more at
tention to the empty seat. They started
at one another minute, and then, in
spite of the awkward motion Of the car
embraced and kissed each other with
hystcrical fervor. At first, the passen-
gers were somewhat astonished at so
public IA demonstration; but all of them
soon Joined in conSratulating the de
lighted couple upon learning that the
two persons thus suddenly brought to
gether were man and wife, long separated
by the vicisstudes of war. The soldier
had been desperately wounded in Ten
nesSee and taken prisoner. He was sup
posed to have been killed, and before he
was restored to freedom and able to
write. his wife, or widow, as she supposed
her self. removed TO Chicago and SO his
letters never reached her. The poor fel-

for home, with desponding heart, to
learn why his letteas had never been an

The Qualification Of Suffrage.

The Rochester Democrat, journal in
Western New York, where the anti slav-
cry sentiment has a strong hold, takes
ground in favor of intelligence as the
essential qualification of all voters, and
for inserting it in the Constitution. This
principle is making rapid progress. No
one, so far as we have seen, has objected
to it. Politicians, who are always afraid
of a principle until they know it is likely
TO prove winning card with the game
they are playing. hinder its progress
with political organizations, but not with
the people 1t is but question of time
and the friends of the principle can af-
ford to wait. When they have got
through making foot ball of the ques
ton of suffrage, and are forced to say,
what they now feel, that immediate, un-
qualified acknowledgements of all the ne
groes everywhere is neither safe nor pol
itic; when they are compelled TO take
some distinct ground on the question Of
suffrage, because il can be no longer
lodged, even this class Of public charac-
ters will be tor the principle, and we will
then have our conventions and party or
gans honestly asserting what is even
now privately admitted to be both right
and expedieut We can afford to wait
