Second Edition Of the Rebellion.

The aid and comfort furnished the
ez.rebels by Northern "ConscrTatiVes"
has emboldened the lately repentaut trail
tors 10 throw off all disguises and resume
their old habits of insoleuce. They are
now threatening a second appeal to the
bayonet. The Macon, Georgia, Telegraph
thus admonishes the President:
nTbe ballot-box is too slow process
as a remedy for existing grievances. Let
the President put dOlOn the rebellion an
Congress and appeal to the Jall0t-6o1 to
sustain that"
A writer in the Washington ConStitu-
tiOnal Uuion, which until recently was
publishing Government advertisements,
if indeed it is not now, speaks as follows :
81 again repeat that | caution no Vio-
lenco,' nor do wish to see the second
advent of Cromwell, of England, or Ma.
poleon, of France ,practiced upon the radi-
cal destructionists in this Congress, bu!
'phathas been mag be, and eottt be again,
ir President JohRson is th1OaTted IN hi
great Intentions. The President must
be sustained J"
The Richmond Examiner comments
in much the same vein, as follows:
"Thc Satanic puddler of the national
foundry grins as lie sees the sparks fly OF
from the mass of metal that he is mani
pulating with devilish glee in his fiery
furnace He knows that they will fall
cold aud lifsress, mere fakes OF inert iron.

Gen. Carl Schurz, in his famous report
upon the condition of affairs in the South,
averred that there were very few real
Union men in all that region and he vas
violently asSailed for having uttered a dec
laration so slanderous of the South. Yet
every day confirms the truth of what he
said. The Secretary of the Treasury can
not find men enough in the rebel States
to act as collectors and revenue agents,
who can take the test oath and the Post
master General gives similar reason for
not restoring the post Offices in that part
of the country. There are at least six
thousand post Offices in the South at
which no Union men can be found to act
as Postmasters aud at many of the two
thousand Offices that have been restored
women have to be appointed because the
men cannot be found free from the stain
of treason.

In the Philadelphia Press of Friday
appears The following special telegraphic
dispatch, which locks as though the nom
iuation of General Geary is cer,ain ID
spite of the effort being made to "ses up ,
the State against him:
"HARRIsBURG, Feb. 15.-Tt is now
definitely understood, from information
received through sources of the greatest
reliability, that John W. Geary has sixty
four delegates to the Union State Con,
vention instructed to support him as a
candidate for Governor. AS it only re,
quires sixty seven votes to nominate. it Is
fair to believe that Gcary's nomination
will be made on the first ballot"

The Copperhead organsjust at the pres

cised with the idea of ama algamation,
mlscegeuatioD. aud Mr. Wallace in his
late address, believes he has made a great
point in appealing to the Democracy in
behalf of the purity of ":he race" Now
1t bas been admitted as social truth,
that every mulatto born south of Mason
aud Dixon's line, during the present cen
tury, had toe same Democratic blood in
his body which James Buchanan IN his
zeal for Federalism, once asserted he
was willing to let out of his veins provided
any one could prove that he possessed the
element.

CHAUNcEY G. BURR, one of the shin,
ing lights of Jersey Democracy, insists
that unless his party are ready to recog-
nize the virtue, patriotism and heroic
sacrifices for good, of JEFF. Davis, Bob
Lee, and other traitors, and to maintain
that Seward, Stanton, Chase, Grant, "and
all who fought against the South" are
tylants aud cut-throats, it cannot ever
hope consistently for success. Burr de
clares that Democracy means literally the
superiority of the white man over the
black mao-that such superiority can
only be preserved by the enslaTement OF
the blacks-and those who fought for
slavery we're the best Democrats-and
that Is the Democracy of the North desire
to be consistent, they must avow now and
forever, as just and sacred, the cause OF
the Southern STAKEHOLDER. Burr is Ger.
taiuly a bold as we'll as lucid ezpounder
of Democracy.

SILVER FOUND IN BEAVER COUNTY.
There is considerable excitement in the
vicinity of Frankfort Springs, Beaver
county, occasioued by the discovery of a
silver vein on Travis Creek, near the
Beaver and the Alleghtny county line.
Two companies have been organized to
explore for silver, one of which is sink
ing shaft The indications for silver
are good, and it is thought By experienced
miners that paying quantity of silver
will be obtained at from twenty to forty
feet. The company now sinking the
shaft have got good silver ore at seventeen
feet, and intend sending portion to the
mint to be teeted.

The Copperheads are very foul 10 their
speeches concerning the ignorance of the
Southern slaves. We admit that the ne
groes of the South are poor, degraded
class, made such by slavery, but however
ignorant they now are they are all friendly
to the Government, and whatever lm-
provement is made in their condition, will
lend to the strength of the nation. Can
as much be said of the intelligent traitors
of the South7 No improvement in that
Grace" will ever make them friends OF the
Government, unless its objects and pur-
poses are entirely changed, restoring sla,
very, and giving to the States power
superior to that of the nation. The men
who drew their swords against the Gov
ernment will never be its friends. No
education can make them such-no leg
islation but that which infiets the sever
est punishment will deter the white traitor
FROM his hostility. Why then make such
a hub-bub about making friends for the
Union in the South, out of the only ma
terial left to create such support?

that the Progressive party will be salts

short of complete destruction of the

be satisfied with "a reformation of the

THE Ups AND Downs OF PETROLEUM.

THE Ups AND Downs OF PETROLEUM.
The Philadelphia Ledger remarks that
a year ago six thousand dollars was the
outside price for sinkidg petroleum well,
and from :hree to four thousand about
the average. Now it is ten thousand.
A year ago the working expense of a
well was about ten dollars per day.-now
it is twenty. Then oil brought ten dol
lars at the well-now FIVE, with one dol
lar off for taxes. The result was, that
every we'll producing two barrels aud
more per day was worth working. Now
we see that unless it produces ten barrels
it hardly pays to keep it going, but if
leased on half-shares it is hardly worth
anything at less than twenty barrels. Nor
will one in fifty of those sunk produce
twenty barrels; hardly that proportion
produce ten even. About Pithole not
one in twenty pays at all.

"THE PEOPLE" THE President gpeaks
of ''tho people" and is opposed to forcing
negro suffrage upon "the people" with
out their consent. Who are 1.-THE people?'
The 1ohite people? They are no more
than a part of the people. In several Of
the Southern States the black people are
a majority of the population, and having
been made free have naturally the same
rights that other people have. The whites
being a minority in several States, and
barely a moiety in the other Southern
States, the idea that they are to be con-
suited as "the people" is monstrous. The
argument of the President would justify
aud perpotuate every monopoly on earth ;
for if monopolies cannot be broken up
without the consent Of the moDopolists,
then they will never be destroyed.

immigrants from Europe and the Uuited

the future is in a collision of races your
safety is in the closest sympathy with

Corn FOR FUEL-Theta talk about using
corn for fuel has been supposed by many
to be melely exaggerated form of ex.
preston, denotiDg the extreme cheapness
Of the commodity. But it would appear
to be founded on substantial fact IN some
parts of the West. Tie Galena (1n.)
Gazette, for Instance, says:
eve understand that many of the peo-
pie of Warren and other towns in the
eastern part of the county are using corn
for fuel We had a conversation with an
Intelligent gentleman who has been burD-
iuy it, and who considers it much cheaper
than wood Ears of corn may be bought
for ten cents per bushel by measure, and
seventy bushels, worth seven dollars, Will
measure a cord. A cord Of wood, includ-
ing saving, costs SO so, which is 81 80
more than the cost of cord Of corn, be-
sides the fact that the corn produces more
heat than the wood. Ifthese statements
ale true (and we have no reason to doubt
them, } there IS no fuel more economical!
than corn. The crop of corn this year Is
far beyond the demand
No one who has had to pay the prices
for corn meal current in this section of
the country for the last year would be apt
to imagine that the crop was star beyond
the demand" In fact, there is some
thing wrong about this burning of corn
iu one part of the country (and that not
far from the froutieT) and its prices so
high to restrict ctco9sumption lG another
and the wrong undoubtedly consists in
insufficient facilities of transportation.
Unless these facilities can be increased,
it is no object for the West to produce
any more, while the industry of the East
is sure to be burdened and nullifed BY
the constantly increasing cost of living.
Here is a problem which our economists
and practical business men must solve.
