welcomed whether great or small

The war having closed, it is believ-
ed that the time has arrived to carry
out an object that has been adhered
to for over year, and which has gain
ed strength from the number and ne
-oessities of those to be benefited
The JOURNAL profits now amount to
Fifteen Hundred Dollars, all of which
the Proprietor is ready to devote to
the establishment of a suitable Home
and School for Soldiers Orphan Chill
dren, and she respectfully solicits the
active aid of the generous men and
women of the nation to give immedi-
ate effect to a plan which must result
in the protection and elevation Of this
deserving class of our population,
rendered doubly worthy of aid by
their ma,2yred patriot fathers.
It is her intention to make the Sol
DIERs' JOURNAL a permanent weekly
paper, and to this end she solicits year.
ly and half yearly subscriptions. She
also proposes soon to enlarge it to a
folio of sixteen pages, containing in
convenient form everything pertain
ing to the history of the country as it
advances, and all important records of
the past war; as well as the choicest
literary articles that can be procured,
making it a neat and pleasing volume
for reference. 1t will likewise con-
tinue to guard the interests of the
soldier, and keep him posted on all
laws and regulations intended for his
benefit. AS in the past, the profits
arising from the business of the JOUR
NAL will be devoted to the School and
Home in contemplation.
The School will be centrally loca-
ted, conducted to the best advantage
of the pupils, and if a sufficient fund
can be raised for the purchase of lands
connected with the School, it will be
the earnest effort Of the founder to
make it partly self-supporting, as well
as the means of recreation and ply
steal education Of its inmates. 7aH 90

Extending the Order.

We understand that, in accordance with in
structc ms from the War Department, all volun-
teer organizations of white troops in all COM
mands, whose terms of service expire before
Sept 80, Except Veteran Reserves) will be inn
medately mustered out of the service. The Vet
eran Reserves WILL it is said, be kept until such
time veteran volunteer regiments can be con-
solidated to take their places. This order will
discharge the three years regiments that were
mustered into the service under the call of July
q 1862, and prior to Oct. LIST of that year; the
three years recruits mustered into old regi-
ments prior to Oct. l, 1862, and one year men,
for old and new organizations who entered the
service prior to Oct. l, 1854. t5 ~ 4a8a@
THE position of President Johnson on the Ne
gro Suffrage Question has been considered doubt
full, but it is known that he counseled commit
tee of negroes who recently called on him to PEI
tition the next Congress to grant them the right
of suffrage in the District of Columbia, as pre-
liminary to it's concession elsewhere. This they
will do in force and it is believed that the Presi
dent while he leaves to the several States the de-
cision of the question within their limits, will
give his whole moral influence to the extension
of the right of franchise to the colored people.

Moro SuFFRAaR.-The Chicago Tri-
bune, radical republican, declares for
negro suffrage, but with these qualifca-
tons
1--WE have appreciated the impolicy of
extending the suffrage to those of the
blacks who have taken no part in earn
ing their freedom, and who can neither
read nor write, nor support their fami-
lies. As all the southern states hereto
fore reconstructed-Wes Virginia, Ten
nessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, Maryland
Missouri-have excluded black suffrage
it is plain that to claim indiscriminate
suffrage for the blacks throughout the
South, is not only to defeat black suf-
frage entirely but to deserve defeat"
At the meeting held in Cooper Insti-
turc, New York, on Wednesday night, a
series Of resolutions was adopted, in
GLIDING this seasonable and guarded one
for universal suffrage:
Resolved, That we hold this truth to
be self-evident, that he with whom we
can entrust the bullet to save the life of
the nation, we can likewise intrust the
ballot to preserve it; and we invoke the
cooperation of the federal and state
governments, and the people through
out the Union, to use all EagfM means
to establish a system of suffrage which
shall be equal and just to all; black as
well as white.

PRACTICAL TESTS having fully demon-
stated the superiority OF this machine over all
others for the purpose Of sinking Oh Wells, the
undersigned is now prepared to receive orders
for the same.
This machinery comprises everything requisite
for the boring OF oil wells, excepting the
STEAM ENGINE AND CAST IRON DRIV-
ING rPE (but will bs furnished if desired, at
a reasonable prieel aud dispenses with the use
of the Derrick Rope Bull wheel and other cum
brOus and expensive fixtures nov in use, and is
so arranged, being Constructed on wheels and
portable, that il can be easily removed for the
purpose of sinking wells in different localities.
THE DETRITUs is removed from the well
by Patent Hydraulic process, and does not
require the removal Of the driu from the boring
This process not only removes all the detritus in
from 8 to 10 minutes, but likewise effectually
clears out and opens all the small oil veins that
are often entirely clo-ed up by the old process
of sand pumping.
WITH THIS MACHINE and practical en-
gineer, well can be sunk from 400 to eco feet
within period of from Is to 30 days after the
soil pipe has been driven.
Arrangements are being made for the con-
struction and delivery Of these machines at New
