two shells,with "toothing joins" None
but hard burned, clare ringing, well
formed bricks entirely free from lime,
and 8 inhes long by 4 inches wide and
2 1-2 inches thick, were used in the con-
structiou of the tunnel and they were
laid in the best of the cement, one meas
ure of clean, sharp sand being allowed
to onemeasure of cement. Including the
shore shaft, there are nearly 5000 cubic
yards of masonry which requires in
round numbers about4 100000 bricks.
The actual excavation of tho tunnel, in
order to give it a diameter of 5 feet in
side the masonry, is about feet in di-
ameter, requiring the removal of about
5000 cubic yards of earth.

An Honest Democrats Opinion.

During pleasant conversation, with
leading, honest Democrat, recently,
on the subject of reconstruction, our
friend said:
"Those leaders did great wrong
They are guilty of great crime, land
they ought to be dis}rauchised as warn
ing to others in the future. I am a
Democrat, but. there is reason in all
things. If we do not punish those
leading rebels, there will be nothing to
deter others from repeating the awful
crime,"
Oar friend gave utterance to the
above with much eandor and we make
a note of it because we endorse such
Democracy, every time.

Impcaching the President.

There never was any intention to i'm
peach Mr.. Johnson, on the part of the
Republican party, RS q party. There
are few indiscreet men who desire
this to be done, but they are neither the
recognized leaders of the party, nor
dictators ofits policy. The journals,
too, who favor this course, are as rare
as comets. But while the press of our
party, and our leading men, in Con
gress and elsewhere, are declaring
against the rash proposition, the Dem
ocratic journals are constantly bowling
about impeachment, and they endeay-
or to make their readers believe that
Congress really intends impeaching the
President. We do not see how Dem
ocratic editor can be so infamous as to
endeavor to make the public believe
what he knows to be false
AS we said before, Mr.. johnson was
terribly impeached at the late elections,
which impeachment we favored hearth
ly, and which was quite effectual, at
least its results suited us amazingly
We are in favor of impeaching the dis
honorable man in like manner at every
comming election, and the wise people
will do 1u3o broacn. Mark. this reader
as we may not live to witness this hap
py operation, but, it is our honest
opinion that unless Mr. johnson does
better in the future than he has done,
he will be compelle to vacate the Pres
idential chair with as little honor as did
James Buchanan.
Personally, we respect the President,
honor the Office he occupies, but dis
pise- with an intense hatred, the dalnna-
ble policy which he is endeavoring to
crowbar down the throats of the Amer
ican people. 1t is disgusting pill for
which the people have no stomachs,
never will have, and Mr. j knows it too
But as some meE will swallow poison,
and thus destroy their lives, so there
may be found some men to endorse the
Presidents discarded, ,dishonorable, i'm
practical policy, but such endorsement
is inevitable political suicide.
To see man, who was once the idol
of our heart, degrade himself so, in the
eyes ofthe American people, is exceed
ingly humiliating, ,but Mr.. Johnson can.
not blame any one but himself. He
may well exclaim Farewell, a LONG
farewellto all my greatness. Had ]
but served the cause of the Repub
lican party and my country, as I die
that of Copperheads and rebels, I woulc
not to-day be left naked to mine enc
mics. Now am without the confidenct
OF any people or party. I have made
my former friends bitter enemies, ant
the Democrats and rebels whose, cause
espoused with such ardor, look upo1
me with extreme distrust. Oh, miser
able man that I am Give me drink
that / may drown my sorrowsr'

Government PrOperty-Harpers- Ferry

\ communication was received in the Senate
on Monday from the Secretary of War in an
swer to a resolution, showing the present con-
dition of the public works at Harpers-Ferry,
from which it appears that the Government
own there seventy-fve acres of improved land,
with the right of cutting wood on a large tract
of unimproved land on the South side of the
Shenandoah, with twenty-five dwelling-houses,
a powder magazine, stable, repair shop, nine
store rooms, and the ruins of the former armo-
ry. Eighteen houses are in fair condition; the
Others much injured during the war. The ma
gazine, stable, repair-shop, and store room are
in good repair. The magazine, repair-shop,
five store rooms, and one dwelling-house are
temporarily ,,sAI by tho Government as an ord
&ance depot for storage and preservation of war
material until this material can be transferred
to arseuals. 1t is recommended that the pro-
perty Of the United States here be sold, and
the proceeds applied to the construction of the
Western Armory.

The War in Europe.

The advices to the 23d ult., by the steamers
arrived Monday, show that the great combat
ants in Europe have not only formally declared
war and moved troops, but have actually come
to blows. Prussia has so far anticipated any
movements on the part Of Austria and the Ger
man States which support her, and continuing
to display the vigor with which she set out,
now occupies several towns in Saxony, inclu-
ding Dresden, the capital, and the King having
withdrawn to Bohemia, has pushed on and en-
tered that State also.
In collision, whichissaid ohave taken place
near Frankfort, Hessian regiment is reported
as almost aunihilated. On the same day that
Prussia formally declared war against Austria,
the TIA i'm government did the same thing
On that day also the Austrians had commenced
hostilities by crossing the Sclesian frontier and
subsequently, had slight collision with the

originality of thought, and faultless in diction-
Where all were meritorious, we can appreciate
the difficulties experienced by the Committee in de-
termining the one pre-eminently entitled to the

gestions. We hope the young ladies can persuade

National Union Convention.

This Convention, to meet in Philadelphia on
the 18th Of August next, is called by eminent
men, the Executive Committee of the National
Union Club-Ex-Gov. A. W. Randall of Wis
consin, President, and J. R. Doolittle, o. H.
Browning, Edgar Cowan, Charles KNAPP, and
Samuel Fowler members-and the call is en-
dorsed by Daniel S. Norton, J. W. Nesmith,
James Dixon, and T. A. Hendricks 1t will
be approved by the leading statesmen in every
part Of the country.
The movement is not palatable to the ultras
Of the so-called Republican party. 1t is the
death-knell to the Northern disunionists, be-
cause it proposes to embrace such delegates
from tnirty So. States arI nine rs--t~-:ee '',d
the District Of Columbia as believe in the I'M
doubted right of every State to representation,
and the right to prescribe the qualifications Of
its own electors, and who believe there is no
right to dissolve the Union under any pretence
whatever.
1t is opposed and denounced by the Radical
prints and politicians, because they see in it a
measure which will bring before the country
distinct and palpable issue between the true
Union men and the pretenders who place the
triumph Of party above the peace, the safety,
and the prosperity Of the country. 1t viii pre-
sent the issue Of negro suffrage directly before
the people, in contrast with the deceitful policy
which seeks to attain that object by indirection.
It will expose the hypocritical cant Of those
who at the commencement and throughout the
wardeclared that force was only used topreSeree
the Union, but who now falsify their declara-
tons by denying to the conquered people a
place in the Union, and who in terms declare
the Union dissolved.
This Convention viii distinctly draw the
lines between those who go for immediate re-
storaton and those who aim to postpone reu-
Mon until a President and Congress shall have
been elected by a section only Of the country.
Andthis issue, which the Radicals seek to evade,
will be clear and unequivocal in the elections
TO be held in October and November in the
large States of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois.

RADICAL PERvERsIoN.

The reckless partizan presses insist that Pre-
sident johnson is laboring to bring into Con-
Cress the leading Secessionists, and to give them
the chief control Of the government The
Washington Chronicle, with Characteristic eff
frontery, says:
"The doors that are thrown open for the admis-
zion of the organizers Of the Rebellion, as well IN
civil in military life are closed upon the great
statesmen who gave their DAYS and nights 70 the
preservation Of the cause Of the Republic.
Now here is falsehood of the most glaring
character, as well as impudence. President
johnson has not, either in speech or writing
urged the admission into Congress Of the rebel
leaders. On the contrary, whilst he urged that
the eleven Southern States are entitled to re-
presentation, subject as they now are to the
burdens Of taxation, be has insisted only upon
the admission of loyal representatives. He has
not asked for the repeal Of the test-cath, nor
has he asked Congress to disregard the ConSti-
tutional provision which declares that "each
House shall be the judge of the elections, re-
turns, and qualifications Of its own members.
How are the doors closed upon the great
statesmen" Who has charge of the doors
Is the dominant party in the House, with
phalanx Of $50 odd obedient members, afraid
that So members from the Southern States,
joined to about 50 now in the opposition, will
overcome them? Do they not, by this exhibit
ton of fear of the Rebels, show that they have
no faith in the strength Of their extreme posi-
tons? They cannot disguise their deliberate
purpose of keeping the Southern States out Of
the Union until after the next Presidential cleo
ton. The Southern Rebels tried in vain to de-
tach eleven States from the Union; the Disu
nionists o. Congress have been more success
full. Is not this as criminal rebellion as the
first? Has it even the advantage Of a Pretert
for its disregard of the principles Of our 60
yernment?

A WISE MOVEMENT.

We learn from the Intelligencer that the De-
mocratic members of Congress held a caucus on
Friday night, in which the call for National
Union Convention was fully discussed and en-
dorsed. An address to the Democratic voters
was agreed upon.
This is indeed wise movement. 1t would
be worse than idle for the opponents of the
present destructive policy Of the Radicals to
carry on two distinct organizations, and thus
awaken and call into action the pride of opin-
ion and preiudices which so long separated old
Wings and Democrats on matters of public po-
Icy. Men will unite in a common patriotic
purpose, as in the case of the war, who will not
agree to subscribe to all the tenets of old patty
creeds
Lifelong Wings would not agree to be " tarr-
Ell with the Democratic stick" nor would old
Democrats submit to be labelled with what
they deem the old Wing heresies. Yet, here is
a common ground upon which all patriotic
men can stand. The Union is again in danger,
and it is now evident that the ultras of the
party in power intend to deny admission to
Southern representatives until after the next
Presidential election; indeed the leaders scarce
" have the hardihood to disguise their object.
There is one danger to be avoided in the or
ganization of the proposed Convention. Old
politicians who, from any cause, deserved or
undeserved, have become objects of public obi
um or prejudice, should not be selected or made
prominent in this Convention. 1t is folly to
play into the hands of common enemy when
the country is in peril. There are surely enough
Of eminent Union men in the country who have
stood up for the Constitution Of the T. States
as the supreme law of the land through all the
mutations of the last thirty years, competent to
lead and direct in this great conservative move
ment. Let the people look to this, and all will
be well. The purpose now is, not to reassert
old party dogmas, or again to give prominence
to old party hacks, but to defeat " the Radical
faction with its compact organization, its ener-
getc purposes, its rigid discipline, and its bold
and active leaders" Phaanx must meet pha-
lanx Gin ranks and files, close and deep, with
shields joined"
