PEACE MEN IN EARNEST first an
niyersary of the Radical Peace Society
was held at Masonic Hall, New York, on
Wednesday. The creed of the society is
that no human institution is worth the
sacrifice of a human life, and war, for
whatever cause, is wrong. As the Consti-
tuition of the United States confers upon
Congress the right to make war, every
Congressman who votes for war authorizes
murder, robbery, theft, and piracy, and
every one who votes for such Congress
man is classed in the same category /;
therefore no Radical peace man considers
himself eligible 10 Congress until the law
is changed. Resolutions covering these
points were adopted.

DISPENSING THE COURT.-On Friday
last, whilst Judge Myers was holding his
court-having before him plaintiffs, de-
PENDANTS, and witnesses-a stranger en-
tered, and assuming to belong to the
Freedmen's Bureau, dispersed Judge, par
ties, witnesses, and all present. The Judge
left his subterranean office for more ele-
waited position, whilst the others fled in
great haste. The stranger was quite bois-
ferrous in his manner. 1t is scarcely ne
cessary to say that he was an imposter, and
had no connection whatever with the
Freedmen's Bureau Of this county; but
it was good joke on the court and attend
nts.-CharleSto,o (Va) Free Press. 9Th.

BUNCOMBE MARTYRs.-The reader will
enjoy the following paragraph as coming
from Forney. 1t shows that the Radicals
wish now that they had let Mr.. DAVIS es-
cape. The Press says:
alt is reported that two of the Rich
mond papers have been indicted for in
citing TO treason in the United States Cir
cult Court. AS so far we have been IN
able to convict or punish anybody for COM
hitting treason itself, even when that trea-
son was committed defiantly behind breast
works and bayonets, it seems TO us that
these indictments are supertiuous and
harmless. We are opposed to manufac-
turing any more Buncombe martyrs like the
nations guest ut Fort Monroe"

JUDGE KELLEY IN DOUBT ABOUT THE
RECONSTRUCTION BILLS BEING FINALITY.
Judge Kelley, in his speech delivered at
Memphis on Monday, advised the colored
people to vote with the Republicans, as
Democrats would never have given them
suffrage or liberty. In conclusion, he said
he could not tell whether the military re-
construction bill would be finality or not !;
but if the rebellious States rejected it, all
he would ask of them would be to read
Thaddeus Stevens's confiscation speech, as
that foreshadowed what the ForEeth Con-
gress would do in the event.

CANNoNs ABRoAD.-It is announced that
the new French cannon, the construction

mute. 1t carries with accuracy two thou
sand yards, and single discharge would
destroy the whole front of battalion. 1t
is so light that two men can easily lift it.
France shows great Partially for breech-
loading cannons, but England is discarding
them. England is experimenting with
needle-guns, but the great delay of her
Government in deciding upon a proper
weapon for the army, whilst other Euro
pean nations are rapidly arming with
breech- leaders, is complained Of by the
London newspapers.

EVASION OF STAMP DUTIEs.-1t has been
the practice of certain banks to take in.
struments in the form of a receipt instead
of promissory notes, as follows: A APP
plies for loan of $4,000, which he pro-
cures upon lodging United States bonds,
&C., as collateral security. Instead OF
giving the bank his promissory note, he
gives an instrument in substance as fol-
lows: Received of - Bank ten
thousand dollars, advanced on ten thou
sand dollars United States bonds" To
this he affxes two-cent stamp only. The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has de-
cided that such an instrument is evidence
of an amount of money to be paid, and as
such is liable to stamp tax at the same
rate as promissory note, and the Comp
troller of Currency has directed all bank
examiners not to recognize such instru-
ments with two cent stamps only affixed as
valid and legal.

IMPORTANT GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY
At the annual meeting of the Swedish
Academy of Science, NJ. Nordenskiold an
nounced that discovery of great i'm
portance to geological science had been
made in the hill of Nullaberg, in Sweden.
A large deposit of bituminous gneiss,
thirty three metres in thickness, has been
found imbedded in layers of gneiss and mica
schist. 1t is composed, in addition to field
spar, quartz, and mica, of black sub
stance like coal, containing carbonated
hydrogen-in fact, real organic sub
stance, formed of the remains of plants or
animals coeval with the deposit. He added
that there could be no doubt as to the an
tiquity and geological situation of the
strata of Nullaberg infiltration was inn
possible. The inference was that the crys-
talline stratified rocks Of Scandinavia were
formed when there existed animated crea-
lures, but at time long anterior to the pc
riod when life is supposed to have first ex-
listed on the earth.

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY.-On Tues
day occurred in Bristol shooting case of
singular character, and perhaps of fatal
results. 1t appears that during the war
man named Patrick, who served in the
Union army, was taken prisoner by Con-
federate named Kelly, and confined for
some months in the Jail at Wytheville.
On Tuesday Patrick met on the streets OF
Bristol a man named Pat Ryan, who lives
there, and whom he thought to be the man
Kelly who captured him. Immediately on
confronting Ryan, Patrick drew his pistol,
and told Ryan that he must die, in accord
ance with an oath he (Patrick) had made
to kill the man who had taken him pri-
soner. Ryan denied being the party re-
ferred to, but Patrick would not believe
him. Just as he fred his pistol square at
the breast of Ryan, the latter knocked it
down, and the ball, instead of passing
through his heart, passed through his
stomach, inficting a dangerous and per-
haps fatal wound. He was not dead, how
ever, when the train left yesterday. Pat
rick was at once apprehended.-Lychb,rg
Republican.
