1t is curious fact, says an Australian pa
per in an article on deep mining, that from
the hours of twelve at night till three in the
earth obtains increased activity. At that
time it is observed by miners that water falls
from places where none is observable during
the day. The volume in the wheel is per-
ceptlbly increased, the atmosphere is charged
with gasses which often prevent the lights
from burning and small particles of earth
are observed to fall from the top of the
drives Whether the phenomenon is to be
attributed to the diurnal motion of the earth
or other causes, it is worthy of the attention
of the curious.

the threat to force it upon the Northern
States is atrocious. When these Northern and
Western lawmakers, who openly profess to
make laws outside of the constitution, find
popular sentiment in their sections of the
country in favor of extending the elective
franchise indiscriminately to any race OF class
of being hitherto debarred by. State and ma
tional constitutions, it will be time for Con-
gress to make wholesale laws in that respect.
In the meantime, the President can do good
by delaying the execution of these infamous
laws in the South. The removal of Sheridan
and Sickles, and the agitation of the suffrage
question arising therefrom, including the en-
frauchisemeEt of the Northern negroes, was
a struggle which will open new questions in
the elections next month in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and no doubt will evince the DISPOSE
tion of the people of those States upon the
question of encouraging the Inauguration of
a reign of anarchy and barbarism in the South
in this enlightened nineteenth century.

To the Prisoners of War and Of Arbi-
trary Arrests in the United States
of America.

At the late session of the Congress of the
United States, that body passed resolution,
on July 10Th, 1867, appointing certain par
ties as n committee to investigate The
Treatment Of Prisoners of War and Union
citizens held by the Confederate Authorities
during the late rebellion" at the same time
refusing to extend the investigation to the
prisoners of war, victims of arbitrary power.
and military usurpatiOn by the authority of
the Federal administration. The partial.
yindictive and wicked purpose Of the Con-
greSs to Pervert, distOrt, aud suborn the truth
of history, has made it the duty of evefy
American citizen to look to the honor of his
country and the preservation of the truth of
history.
We all might well initiate the example of
the better son of Noah, and walk backwards,
and throw the mantle of oblivion upon the
nakedness of our drunken parent, and forget
all of the past; but since partial aud false
representation OF our public affairs is to bo
made by members of Congress for the unhO-
ly aud iendish purpose Of perpetuating Sec
tional bitterness, ard prolOnging the un-
christian and unnatural strife of ruined
people, that justice may be done to every man
and the truth of history may be viadicated,
l hereby most respectfully request that all

of the Federal authority, are earnestly re-
quested to address the undersigned, stating
in precise, simple and uncxaggerated terms,
a full statement of all the facts known to the
writer touching his own Imprisonment, or
treatment of others, either soldiers or citi.
zens, giving, as far as possible, names, places
and dates, with names Of Federal officers in
charge, and those instigating those crimes.
The great body of the officers and soldiers
in both armies were maniiestly honest in pur-
pose Of prosecution of their terrible work of
death. The history of wars demonstrates
that the vilest men have charge of prisons
a history of the cruelty to OPrisonerS on both
sides in the late war, is one which will mako
hell ashamed and turn the cheek of darkness
pale" and be, for our own history's sake, for
gotten but if told, it must be truely told,
that each party may be shamed into silence
by their crime. Not having the peoples
money to waste in postage to kindIe the fro
of revenge, will trust to the kindness Of the
sufferers to transmit to me, by mail, all com>
municatiOns upon this subject at their earliest
convenience.
L am, very respectfully, your obedient
servant,

THE LONG AGO.
nv B.F. TAYLOR.

o. wonderful stream Is the river Of Time
With faultlcss rhythm and nusica rhyme,
And a broader sweep and a Eurgc sublime,
As il blends in the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like fake sof snow,
And the summers like birds between
And the years in the sheaf; how they come and
they go.
On the rivers breast, with its ebb md flow,
As it glides in the shadow and sheen,
There's n gical isle up the rhvcr Of Tim,,
Where the softcst of airs playing;
There's clOudIess sky and n tropical cline,
And a song as sweet as VcsPer chime,
And the Juncs with roses are stTaying.
And the name of this isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there
There arc brows of beauty and bosoms ofsnow;
There re heaps of duFt-O, We loved them so;
And there are trinkets and tresses OF hair.
There are fraPmentso Of song that nobody sings,
And parts of infants prayers!
There's lutc Uuswcpt, M harp without strinCs:
There arc broken vows and pieces of rings,
And garments our dead used to wear.
There ha nds hot waved when the fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air:
And sometimes We hear throug the turbulent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is tair.
o, remembered for ave be that blessed izIe,
All the day of life till night,
When tho evening glows with it's beautiful smile,
And our eyes closing in sIumbcr awhile,
May the greenwood of soul be in eight.

The Life Of the Happy Man.

The happy man was born in the CITY of
Regeneration, in the Parish of Repentance
unto Life he was educated at the School of
Obedience, and now lives in the Plain of Per
severance; he works at the Trade of Dill
gence, notwithstanding he has a large Es.
tate in the County Of Christian Contcntmcnt,
and many times does jobs of Sell: Denial; ho
wears the plain Garment of Humility, and
has better Suit to put on when he goes to
Court, called the Robe of Christ's Righteous
ness; he often walks in the Valley Of Self
Abasemcnt, and sometimes climbs the Noun
tains of Spiritual Mindcdness; he break
fasts every Morning upon Spiritual Prayer,
and sups every evening upon the same; he
has meat to eat which the World knows moth
ing of. and his drink is the sincere milk of
the Word; Thus happy he lives and happy
he dies. Happy is he who has Gospel Sub
mission in his Will, due order in his Afec-
tions, sound Policy in his mind Sanctifying
Grace in his Soul, real Divinity in his Breast,
true Humility in his Heart, the Redeemer's
Yoke on his Neck, a Vain World under his
Feet, and a Crown Of Glory over his Head
happy is the life Of such one /: In order to
attain which, pray fervently. believe firmly,
wait patiently, work abundantly. live holy, die
daily, redeem your time, love Christ, and long
for Glory.

One l set butt down, the other top down
At the end Of ten years the one set butt
down was rOtted off, and reset it in the same
hole. At the end Of six years it was rotted
of again, and put in a new ore. The other
lasted four years longer, when it got split in

thirds rottcd off. Six years ago ! set six

REMARKABLE DTsCovERY.-A few days
ago while some workmen were excavatiug a
celler in Polk township. Monroe county, Indi-
ana, it appears they came to what seemed to
be solid ledge Of rock. They then sat down
to rest, when one Of them began idly to pick
at an apparent fssure, whereupon block Of
stone, some two feet square, disappeared into
the ground with adult, heavy and unnatural
thump. The men were, Of course, greatly
astonished, but nevertheless set eagerly to
work, and after removing the earth remaining
in the pit, exposed a chamber with ceiling
six feet high, and some eighteen by twenty FIVE
feet within the walls. The walls are of solid
neatly secured stone work, vieing with the
best Of modern masonry.
Ranged in rows, on neatly constructed
shelves, we're twelve skeletons, each with
tomahawks and arrow head by its side, ear
rings and bracelets Of solid silver lying where
they were dropped, and piles Of what appeared
TO have been furs, in the centre Of the plat
form, each pile crumbling to dust just as soon
as exposed TO the light. 4 number Of tools,
made Of hardened copper, hardened and re-
fined equal to the best cast steel, were found,
and fresh discoveries are constantly being
made.-NGttoon (LH) Democ1aL

Lord Bacon, he ran down Sir Walter Raleigh,
and your lOrdships know what became of my

wards Earl of Strafford, ran down the Duke

Earl of Straford, and your lordshiPs know

So let Judge LAWRENCE beware. History
is continually repeating itself. The persecu-
tor of to day, is the victim of tomorrow.
But 1 have auothdr crow to pick with
Judge Lawrence before close. Chancellor
Kent, he tells US, says that the constitution
has rendered the President amenable by law
for "maladministration." Well, what is trea-
n-bribery-high crimes and misdemean-
ors? But what will your readers say, when
| inform them that when, with establishment
and doubt, l turned to the volume and page
of Kent to which was directed, found, in
the very words of the Constitution, that "the
President, &c, may be imPeached for trea>
son, bribery or high crimes or misdemeanors.
Now, however Judge Lawrence and may
differ on.other points, he cannot, am sure,
fail to agree with me in this, that judge who
misquotes and misinterprcts the law, is ut
terly unfit to be judge, and ought to be
impeached, whoever else goes free.

Alas for him who grows old without
growing wise, and to whom the future world
does not set open her gate, when he is ex-
cIuded By the present. The Lord deals 50
graciousIy with US in the decline of life, that
it is a shame to turn deaf ear to the lessons
which he gives. The eye becomes dim, the
ear dull, the tongue falters, the feet totter,
all the senses refuse to do Office, and from
every side resouDds the cali, s'Set thine house
in order, for the term of thy pilgrimage is at
hand.' The pIaymates Of youth, the fellow
laborers of manhood, die away, and take the
road before US Old age is ike some quiet
chamber, in which, disconnected from the
visible world, we can prepare in silence for
the world that Is unseen.

Of as many lemons as you like /; about two to
