Restoration Demanded.

The following appears in the advertising
columns of the New Haven Conn Regis
ter, from which it is presumed that the
missing property alluded to is somewhere
in that vicinity:
5000 zen Of South carOna ''C durns 9Th, the
march of General Sherman, in February, 1865
the following articles for the return of which the
above reward will be promptly paid, viz:
One Silver Communion Set, consisting Of II
pieces, engraved donation to Scion Preaby-
terian Church, Of Winnsboro', S. c.
One Silver Tea Set Of pieces, engraved I. E.
A."
One Miniature Breastpin, on Ivory.
One Ladies Ring, engraved ''J. +. A. to E. 1.
o. Single diamond.
The above articles did not cost, collectively over
the amount of the reward offered, but are most
earnestly desired for the associations connected
with them.
These articles with at least five times their
Value in other teras of gold, silver and Jewell
ry, &c.,) were taken possession of by soldier
known as Captain Fuller, supposed to belong to
the 14th Corps, U. s. A. Three hundred dollars
will be paid for the return Of the Communion Set
(Which only cost $262) satisfactory references
have been lodged with the editor of this paper
that the money viii be paid if the articles
turned.
The New York World, commenting upon
this advertisement, says :
" Within the past two years our New
Orleans and other Southern correspondents
have more than once written to the World
that responsible persons were willing to
pay handsome rewards-in most instances
far exceeding the pecuniary value of the
stolen goods-for the return of plate, pic
lures, libraries, and souvenirs Of all sorts,
which were stolen from private houses Of
the South during the war New England
villages are full of such plunder, and in
some instances these stolen articles are
brazenly paraded as rebel relics, or '' Sc
cession trophies" 1t is time these things
were restored to their owners. There is an
opportunity in many instances to receive
more than their value, and the money can
be safely pocketed as a reward Of loyal
ty.' There may be Il time when a search
warrant will strip some of these New Eng
land houses of the "rclics and /" tro-
phies, and place the unlawful possessors
in an unnleasant nOSition

A correspondent Of the Philadel
phla Inquirer has been visiting JEFF
Davis. He found him well, enjoying
the most expensive luxuries, and
growing richer by doing nothing than
he could do by any amount Of labor
Formerly his letters were examin-
ed, and when Gen. Miles was relieved
from the command Of the fort, over
twenty five thousand dollars had been
received in contributions from the
faithful to the false god of their idol
airy. These evidences were not, at
the time OF their receipt, handed over
to Mr.. Davis, but are, without doubt,
held as his property. But however
this is, for n long time past he has
received all letters and packages
without examination, and. as their
number and bulk have not diminished,
it is probable that he is at this mo
mcnt enjoying as good an income as
the President OF the United States.
On Christmas day there arrived an
amount OF presents which nearly
broke down the resources Of two ex,
press companies. Ii is a curious fact
That many.-oi. these presents came
from .Doston. Mr.. Davis, being only
bound by parole, is quartered in a
part Of the, fort so obviously inse-
cure that he could at any time escape.

demn him but by the law-judgment Of his peers
or by the laws Of the land We will sell freerrint
TO justice and H. administration to no man, anS
we viii not deny nor defer oither right or juste,
10 any man."
The above is an extract from magma
chdrtd, a charter OF liberty extorted
from King John by our semi-barbari-
an ancestors in the year 1915. In the
conhrmat0 chdrtariUm in the reign OF
King Edward, 1897, and in the reign
of Henry Ill, there was like declar-
alton. From that time TO the present
the violation of this charter has been
thought sufficient aronnd for the
deposition and even execution of n
British Sovereign.
Even in those barbarous ages, a
right to trial by jury of his peers
was thought to be an essential safe
guard 70 the individual. This right
was re-asserted in our Declaration of
dependence. Yet to-day, living un-
der the American flag, are twelve mil
lion people denied the right of trial by
a jury OF their peers. Any one of all
these millions may at the present day,
in this so-caIled land of the free, ''be
taken or imprisoned, or disseized of
his freehold or free customs" may be
"outlawed or banished, or in any way
destroyed, at the will and pleasure of
a military commander who is not even
responsible for his acts to his military
superior.
According to our theory of govern
ment all power is vested in the peo-
pie. In a large section of our country
the people are at the present time de-
priyed of all power, and are as much
at the mercy of arbitrary rulcrs, as
are the denizens Of the most despotic
country upon the face of the earth.
We have been told, and we believe,
that, this country cannot remain half
slave and half free. The people of
the North cannot enslave the people
of the South without creating a gov
ernment which in the end will en-
croach upon their own liberties.
If there is any historical fact, more
important as n lesson to us, than any
other, it is this. No free people ever
succeeded in cnslaving another free
people without losing their own ibcr-
ties, as a necessary consequence of
their ambitious folly.-.Salem States

.HiII,

[From the wnliamsport tPa) Ga1ettel
On Friday and Saturday, July 10
and 20, the great mill belonging to
Messrs. Dodge & Co., in this place,
made the largest run ever known on
this river, and we are inclined to be-
lieve on any mill in the United States
or Canada The mill runs three large
gangs and one pony or rclapboard gang,
with the necessary gates to slab for
the same. Gang No. ! was not in
racing condition, as the saws were
worn down to an average width OF
three and half inches, and would only
carry the lightest feed The mill run
precisely twelve hours each day. On
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1867-08-08
Also, 6s,OO0 plastering lath and 1000
fencing pickets. On Saturday

Also, 10000 plastering lath and 5000
fencing pickets; makinga total in two
days of 532 ,524 feet of lumber, l2s, 900
lath and 5000 pickets.
If any mill in the United States
will show an equal product from same
amount of gates, we will try again
being satisfied that Dodge's mill can
cut a thousand feet every two minutes
for twelve hours. The accidents of
Friday amounted to four hours's top
pages of the Pony Gang and two and
a half hours stoppage of Gang No. /.
The lumber was all well manufactured.
Not one hundred feet was spoiled in
the two days The thicknesscs were
five-eighths, four-fourths, six.fourths,
eight fourths and ten-iourths. Tho
amount was measured and counted by
Messrs. Ault, Garrett and Ames, gen
tlemen whose characters for integrity
and accuracy are undoubted The
mill dock is in charge of our well
known iellow-citlzen, John G. Marvin,
whose ability as a sawyer is second to
none on the river The power depart
ment is under the able command of
G. T. Jones, Esq. The millsare under
