They are almost as much alarmed as

What Does this Mean?

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, under date
of the 18th, has the following, which
the editor Of that paper italicises as
here given:
The House spent the day on the De-
ficiency Appropriation Bill, without
concluding it. Among the items agreed
to were one finishing the Custom House
at Dubuque, Iowa; one appropriating
$4,000 for the funeral expenses of
Abraham Lincoln, and $4,000 for re-
pairing and rcfurnishing the Presi-
dents house.
Mr.. Stevens said that, although the
President desired to have it furnished
in the most economical style, it takes
this amount in addition to the $4,000
already appropriated this session. He
added that nearly every useful article,
including bedding, furniture, the gold
spoons boughtm Van Buren's time, as
,reN as ornaments, had been remoped from
the White House, by irresponsible parties,
during the sir reeks succeeding the dsafA
Of Mr.. Lincoln.

The President and the Virgins
Delegation.

The report Of the Presidents response to
the Virginia delegation given in our issue
of Yesterday was very imperfect. There
were omissions which rendered it almost
unintclligible as whole, and even the CO.
hcrent portions do not correctly represent
the author. AZ may be observed by later
and fuller reports. AS an evidence of this.
and to correct impressions which may have
been drawn. we append the following par
agraphs from the report in the Cincin-
natl papers Of the l2tll.-l Union 4 Ameri-
can.

PETROLEUM AS FUEI.-There is good

PETROLEUM AS FUEL.-There is good
news for those interested in petroleum.
"A series of official experiments have
been for some time in progress at
Woolwich, Eng. and the results have
been of the most gratifying character.
The object Of these experiments was
to test the capacity of petroleum rs
substitute for coal in the production of
steam. One grand conclusion arrived
at is that by the use of oil an engine of
one hundred horse power becomes ex-
allied into one of one hundred and for
ty or one hundred and fifty, the gain
being from forty to fifty per cent. 1t
has also been satisfactorily determined
that the oil may be carried to sea in
tanks, and be incapable of ignition,
even though red-hot cannon ball
went through the mass. The furnace
required for the use of oil would be
very small, so that large amount of
storage room would be saved. The
report states, that "the first great ma
val power that adopts petroleum will
have an immediate advantage over the
fleets Of all other nations, and the lat
ter will be compelled to accept the i'll
vitatiOn, however determined at first,
to deny its value"

JOURNALISM IN AMERICA.

In last weeks issue Of The Round Table
an admirable article appeared on the Per
sOnalities Of Journalism" from which we
make following extract: The limits ofcrit-
icism seem to lis so plain that we are sur
prised that any practiccd Journalist should
Ovcrstep them. A newspaper IL legitl-
mate subject for comment. favorable or
adverse: but not 80 with its editor or edi-
tors. The views advanced by an editorial
writer in a journal are written as the ut
teranccs Of the journal, and are given to
the world as SUCH IL Is no ones business
who the writer is how he lives. what he
wears, or what opinions he holds upon
questions not discussed In his paper. His
responsibility to the public or his contem-
p0rarics As n journalist is confined to MS
journal. TO go behind the impersonality
of npaper Is too mean thing for any nom
orablc man to do. For example. 1t Is one
thing for newspaper to criticise the OBJ
printed In it; but to go back to the paper
and attack by name Messrs. Morse and
Prime, or any other gentleman known TO
be attached to the paper, Is quite differ
ent thing. Whatever Il man may write
and publish over his own name, he may
justly be held personally responsible for,
but the press has nothing to do with him
in person except in such Il ease as this
One paper may criticisc another rs scath-
ingly as the English language may allow,
and yet keep within the bounds ,of pro-
priety: but it has no right to go further
and asSail the editor Of that paper in his
private character. Mr.. Raymond is not
the Times. nor Mr.. Greeley the Tribune,
nor Mr. Bryant the Post, nor Mr.. Tilton
the independent. Each Of these gentle
men may be Legitimate objects ofcriticism
for what they may do in public outside
of their papers, but not for what they may
say through the medium Of these papers.
And 50 of every editor and every journal
in the country; each newspaper has per-
tor or editors, and no other paper claiming
to act honorably will ever ignore that in.
order to asSail its editor in person.
There Is no doubt that in this country
the influence of journalism has been great
ly weakened by the personal tone assum-
ed by the public press. The readers OF
do not care a whit about the
private gricts of editors. and it is some
thing bordering closely on impudence to
be continually obtruding their personal
qnarr"ls on patrons. In England the
name and character of the newspaper it.
self are the prominent features ofa public
journal. not the personality 0fthe individ-
ual or individuals who may be at the head
of the establishment. There. the color of
the editors coat, the fare upon which he
dimes. and the peculiar habits which he
has acquired, are not supposed to be eS-
srntial in any criticism that may be deem
ed necesSaryupon the. tone and political
hcraing ofhis columns. The man is entirely
overlooked, as he should bc--what he
writes or publishes is held up for approval
or cenSurc. In these remarks Of the Phil

The Widow Of StOncWall jackson.


Referring to the rumor which has
obtained such general circulation, that
the family of the great and good Jack
son were in n destitute condition
which we were prompt to discredit
when itfirst appeared--his widow, in
recent letter to friend in Richmond
says: r.. rI..
1t is q source of deep regret and
modification to me, and to my family
and friends, that such misunderstood
ing should exist in regard to my cir
cumstances. 1t is true that almost the
whole Of my little fortune has been
swept away. My noble husband actu-
ated by patriotism, invested in Confed-
crate bonds, to assist the Government,
and l following his example, the con-
sequence was the loss Of nearly the
whole of his estate; hut God has still
left to me one of the kindcst of fathers,
who has the means of providing all
comforts Of life for me and my orphan
child.
The pecumiary sufferings of others
in our afflicted land have been so much
greater than my own, that in this re-
spect | have only need of more
thankful heart. And l, of all others,
should have no fears for the future
for the covenant nt-keeping God of my.
husband has watched over us hereto
fore, and the love of this great people
to me and my little child, on his ac
count, fills my heart with greatful joy.
While it is one Of the greatest com
forts of my desolated life to see the
many beautiful and eloquent tributes to
the memory of my beloved husband,
and would gratefully accept any offer
ings that are voluntarily given as tes-
timonials of love and gratitude in him,
yet the contributions that are now
called for are given under false i'm
preston; and it is inconsistent with
the ideas of honor and rectitude to re-
ceive them. l would, therefore, beg
that all efforts that are made to raise
fund for my ''relief," both in Charles
ton and elsewhere, be Immediately
stopped.

The Southern States.

The eleven seeded states, about which
so much discussion Is going on in Con-
gress, are not exactly like MohOmet's cof-
fin, suspended between heaych and earth !;
but they are stuck tight somewhere be-
tween IN the Union and ont Of it. They
seem to be the sport Of political thimble
riggers-"nOw you see 'em and now you
don't'--for some purposes they are IN, but
for others they are out. Exactly what
should be done with them, and how it
ought to be done, seem to be the great
questions with politicians, and they are
questions which should be settled one way
or another. The business interests of the
country demand this. Those eleven States.

than all England. France, Spain, Portugal.

AREA IN SQUARE MILES.

Those eleven great States with ten mil
lions of people, use to produce annually an
average of four million bales of cotton, and
are capable of producing double that num-
Der, besides adding in other respects the
aggregate prosperity ofour common coun-
try. Is it not time that politicians were
stopping their foolish twattle and selfish
experiments and adopt some sensible, sta
bic policy with respect to those States? If
they will not do so, is it not the duty Ofthe
great commercial working classes, whose
interests are suffering, to make them do so?
Is it not high time that that the industrial
CLASSES should rule the politicians instead
of being ruled and used by them? Let Us
think Il little about these things.-Nouh-
