The words Of our fair correspondent will
probably be more potent than any of ours
in correcting the evil of which she COM

the last homes of our noble soldiers, OF our
mothers, sisters, or children, should echo
with the sounds of reckless mirth and rude

allow this scandal TO remain with them
They must pursue unhesitatingly those
who insult in death those whom it has been
our pride to respect and love; and if the

We copy the following from the
Sandusky Register of last Saturday:
BELLEyiLLE GOLD DIaolNcs.-We
have mentioned heretofore that there
was some excitement In tho vicinity OF
Bellville, Richland county, over the
supposed discovery Of gold in paying
quantities on the "Thompson farm.
We learn from conductor on the s.
NJ. & N. Railroad that the interest in
the matter does not abate, and thai on
Monday last an old California miner
washed a pan full of the Thompson
farm earth and got about forty atoms
Of what he pronounced gold--some OF
the particles being the size Ola grain
of wheat, The excitement is consider.
able, and it il. the intention TO have
tho matter thoroughly tested, Should
the auriierous deposits be found to be
of any extent we may look for fabu-
lous prices for land about fortunate
Bellville.
Mr., III. Alexander, Of Bellyille, who
is well known citizen of this county,
called upon us on Saturday last, with
some specimens Of the BellYille gold.
1t certainly is the genuine article, and
is pronounced twenty two carats fine,
Ho says that there is not tho least
doubt but that gold is there in paying
quantities. We hope that the matter
will bc fully developed, and that if we
have California right here in Rich
land county it may speedily be dem
onstrated. Mansfield Herald. ~.

The Tricnlna Panic.

The New York Times says the cx-
citement about the trichina disease has
had, and is tillhaving, a very great
effect in diminishing the consumption
OF hog. flesh, The wholesale and 9TH
or denlersiin the article feel it greatly;
but the wide extent to which the pub
lie mind has been affected by it is best
learned from the great popular eating
houses of the city, We know of one
of these in which hundreds of "plates" "
Of tho flesh Of swine, in the various
ways it which it is prepared and serv-
cd up, were called for daily, but where
now The calls are limited to one or
two per diem. The late rumor that
the disease had actually made its ap-
pearance in this country will not tend
to allay tho public fear in the matter.
II looks at present as ifthe hog trade
Of Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and
other Western cities, would bc quite
seriously affected for some months at
least.

The President Indignant at Southern
Rebels.
[Frem tho nashville Press, 2oth.l j

A citizen of this State who has spent
some time in Washington, and con
-velsed at length with President John
son prior to his departure from that
city, has just arrived here, and seems
full of hope at the prospect In spite
of all declarations to the contrary, the
President is not at all pleased with
the conduct of the Southern politicians,
newspapers, conventions and Legisla-
lures. On the contrary he is highly
displeased with them. As President
of the United States he went to tho
utmost verge Of generosity, in order to
encourage the rebel leaders to repent
and act as National men. He was de.
termincd to try the influence of kind
ness and love upon them, hoping that
they might work a reform, which the
stern process Of radicalism had hither-
to failed to bring about. lie remarked
to our Informant that the Southern
States had not done their duty. He
had laid down his requirements to the
Virginia delegation, and requested
them to elect loyal men TO Congress,
who could take the test oath, and who
would support the laws. This they
had stubbornly refused to do, and if
the rebels persisted in this foolish and
wicked course, they would have to
take the consequences, and he would
not interfere in their behalf again.
Our informant believes that a reaction
on tho part ofthe Presidents close at
hand, and that he will. if triaed with
much longer by the rebels, deal them
terrible blow, which will ;astonish
tho Radicals themselves BY, itsseveri-
ty, and fully reinstate him in their
confidence, which he has recently lost

rhs MlIl.ary Peace n.,apll.hmsn,

The bill for regulating the military
peace establishment Of the United
States was on Thursday last reported
to the Senate, discussed, and after the
adoption of numerous amendments,
passed by vote of twenty seven to
five eighteen Senators not voting or
being absent. According to this bill,
the army ofthe United States is to
consist in times of peace of five regi-
ments of artillery, twelve regiments of
cavalry and fifty regiments Of infant
ry. Eight of the infantry regiments.
and, in accordance with an amend.
mept proposed by Mr.. Wade, two of
the cavalry regiments are to be COM
posed of colorcd men. An infantry
regiment has, beside the officers, 500
privates, which number may be in.
creased at the discretion of tho Presi-
dent to 1000 Our "peace establish
mcnt," therefore, would number from
1000 to about 10000 men.
The vote by which the bill was
passed is less ofa party character than
one might have expected from the
clause relative to the negro regiments.
Democracy, of course, made an effort
to ostracise the colored defenders of
the country; but an amendment offer
edto that end by Mr. .McDougal was
summarily voted down, the Senate re-
fusing to order the yeas and nays. On
the whole of the bill being put to a
vote. Messrs. Buckalew, Guthrie,
Johnston, Nesmith, & Stockton voted
for Notwithstanding the negro clause.
The small minority Of five is made up
of three Republicans, (Grimes, Harris
and Kirkwood) and two Democrats
.(Bavis and Riddle.) If the absent
voting members had all voted
with the minority, the majority for
the bill would have been only four.

| New Mexico and Nebraska will
shortly be applying for admission into
the Union as States ut the same time,
and as in all probability, their appl.-
cation vii! be granted, they Will aig-
mcnt the number OF States to thirty
eight. OF these two new States, New
Mexico is by far the most populous,
indeed as much so as Nebraska and
Colorado combined. In the year 1860
tho census gave it 93,5l6 inhabitants,
an increase of 5l04 per cent in ten
years, AT this rate of progress, New
Mexico would have in 1870 a popula-
tion of 14l, 1851. Ofthe aggregate re.
turned for 1860 the census gives as the
number OF Indians only 1O,5O7, all the
rest being set down as whites except
eighty five colored persons. These
whites are mostly of Spanish race, the
American immigration having thus
far made but little impression on the
Territory. Asa consequence, the in
stitutions, language, religion, and GUS
toms are all Mexican, this being the
only organization, Of that kind in the
Union.
California, Florida and Texas, all of
Spanish organization originally, have
have been overwhelmed by the great
influx of Americans, so That they have
butfew traces of the old element, Lou
isiaua also had been a foreign colony
before coming into our hands. But
New Mexico alone romans with the old
Spanish Language, customs and institu-
tions predominant. 1t contains some
of the oldest settlements in the United
States, and it is believed to be very
rich in mineral resources, though as yet
these treasures remain neglected. =
Railroads and navigation must infuse
into the Territory new spiritn and
startit forward in the career Of i'm
provement But both are as yet dis
