STILL DISLOYAL.

The radical papers tell US that the south
ern people are still disloyal-that the old
rebel spirit still manifests itself, and as proof
of it they say that social ostracism of north
erners7 still prevails--that in New Orleans
and Mobile no man of loyal-sentiments "can
be admitted to intercourse with the rich
Creole or other aristocratic families" This
is terriblel 1t is crime against shoddy
loyalty for which the stubborn rebels" de-
serve the severest punishment, and it must
be put stop to, right off Where's Sheri-
dan? These "rich Creole and other aristo-
cratic families" may as well understand at
once that it is not for them to say who shall
be admitted to their houses and society
Congress has taken on itself the task of
demonstrating, the cities and people of the
southland q plaguy costly one it is, too!
But if these 'srich Creoles and other aristo-
cratic families won't stand quietly, and be
reconstructed, Sheridan ought to issue an or
der forbidding the wearing of hoop-skirts, and
the smoking of meerschaums. That might
bring them to their senses; but if such a
flank movement should not be successful,
there is still left the example of Ben. Butler,
who used to visit the residences of everybody
he choose to, whether they desired it or not
and in that way, it is said, made UGluable
acquaintance among the "rich Creoles, and
left lasting impressions of his manners, if not
of his visits 1t may be the expense of en-
tertaining such "northerners," that leads the
''aristocratic families of New Orleans to
this seeming "social ostracismi-but it is so
unlike what the treatment of these radical
editors would be if southern soldiers were
demonstrating" the north, that we wonder
the ''rich Creoles" can persist in such an ex
hibition of bad manners, to say nothing o.
bad tase They would ego out and compe
them to come in"-after the manner of the
good man in the parable! They would
literally ''freeze to 'em" The right of PEG
pie to close their houses to whom they please
was "submitted to the arbitrament of arms
and lost" and he who has not discovered it
is not fully up to "the line of the nineteenth
century"

. The mania for petroleum for fuel on our
western rivers, where coal is abundant and
ought to be cheap, is about to be effectually
crowded out by the automatic fireman." or
feeder, Mccormick invention.
The primary object of this new fire king
is to use and consume the refuse coal, the
dust or very fine coal that accumulates at
the mines to the extent of thousands of tuns,
or rather acres, and cannot be either used,
sold or given away. 1t can also use saw
dust, tan bark, ''bagose" and peat as fuel,
the continuance being merely hopper OR
receiver of the material for fuel, which is
then carried to the furnaces, similar to the
elevator of wheat and flour in mill.
1t is claimed for this invention that i
saves seyenty-fve per cent, in labor anc
thirty three per cent, in fuel, while in the
latter case It bring into use material for fue
which may as yet be elassed as useless and
worthless.
This new invention has been tried, and
can no longer be considered an experiment
1t is now in successful operation at the saw
mill of M. Woods, Ferguson & Co., on the
Point, whose machinery is worked bv thu
steam raised on the saw dust made, ant
then used as fuel. The Mail Line Compan,
have also adopted it, and machine ha
been made for the Major Anderson, but no
yet applied. Louisville Courier.

Washington Sept. III Correspondence of the
New York Herald.
After carefully striving to get at the truth,
so far as the controversy between congress
and the President is concerned, have ar
rived at the conclusion that both congress
and the President mean mischief. The rad
idals intend to press impeachment at the
next meeting of congress, and the President
is firmly determined to resist It, M ct drnsis,
by using all the powers and agents under
his control. The radical leaders have come
to the conclusion that the President is re-
solved to carry out reconstruction on terms
least oppressive to the conquered southern
people, and least in sympathy with the con-
gressional negro supremacy plan. They be-
heye his purpose to be to restore the disfran-
chised whites in the south to all their rights
as citizens, and particularly that of suffrage,
OF which they are deprived by the present
system of registration. They believe he
will employ the whole power Of the execu-
tive to carry out this, his policy, of saving
millions of intelligent whites from the do
mlnion OF an inferior, ignorant and but half
civilized class, SO recently delivered from the
bonds ofslavery, and suddenly invested with
the rights of freemen. They see in the exc

From the Davenport Gazette
Peoria g. Rock Island Railroad.

The people at Peoria and along the line
of the proposed railroad from Peoria to Rock
Island are in dead earnest about it's construc-
ton. Davenport Is interested, as we have
demonstrated again and again, to an extent
equal, if not superior, to that of any locality.
Eighty-two miles of road, furnishing com
plete connection with the Pennsylvania Cen
trail Railroad interest, (which has reached
Peoria and desires connection with the Miss
issippi river, ought to be constructed at
once, and every property holder and bust.
ness man in our city should see this matter
in its right light and do what he can with
alacrity, thereby showing our friends at the
other end of the line that we are not asleep
A considerable amount has been subscribed
conditionally in Davenport, but we must
have more. We hope the matter will be
started afresh and under the impulse of re
viving business, that we shall have the OPP
| portunity of speaking handsomely wheI
| called upon finally. Read and see what is
being done in Peoria county and city. W.
extract from the Transcript of the l4sh o
September:
| "The board of supervisors yesterday, with on
| ly two or three dissenting votes, decided to sub
NIT the question of the county voting $4,000 il
| the stock of the Peoria 4 Rock Island Railroad
to the people at the annual November election
Accompanying the order are resolutions that the
| bonds be issued-ffty thousand on completion Of
| fifteen miles of the road and the balance wher
| the road is built through the county.
| "The action of the board shows the estimation
| in which the people of Peoria county hold thi.
enterprise. They are willing to put 500, 600 in
their corporate capacity, into it, only asking the
reasonable safeguards that the road shall be built
or put beyond the question of failure before pay
| ing over the money.
| "H now remains for our city council to submit
the question of city subscription to the voters
of our city at the same time, and thus secure an
other 100000 in aid of the enterprize-for we
| have no doubt that the voters of both city and
county will vote in favor of the respective SUBJ
| scriptions. at
"We can say to the friends of the enterprise in
other counties, that it shall not fail through any
neglect or lukewarmness on the part of the peo-
pie of this county,"

that the part between Kenosha and Rockford
was completed some time since, when the
charter passed into the hauds OF the Chicago
& Northwestern. The constant demand upon
the energies of that company In Its western
connection has hitherto prevented further
extention of this road, but the necessity Of
opening communication with the coal beds Of
the lower Rock River, and the fact that BY
it The route from Rock Island to Chicago
will be materially shortened, has called foi
the completion Of that part at once. The
only remaining piece not now finished or un.
der contract is that between Dixon and Rock
ford along the valley of Rock River, which
Coblentz says is also soon to be under con
tract. Aside from the exhaustless supply Of
coal to be thus reached, and in which the
people of this region, as well as the compa
ny, are deeply interested, the additional ia
cilities to be thus afforded for the receipts
and shipments of freights will be of great
value.

Horse Tanning 4 Training,
The MOST Practical System known
< in the World.
TESTIMONIAL.

q TESTIMONIAL.
Rock ISLAND, August ~, 1867.
The undersigned, having witnessed .Exhi-
bition OF Capt. H. c. Miles system OF breaking
and training colts and handling vicious and
tricky horses, take pleasure in adding this test-
moniai to the many which have been furnished
Capt. Miles elsewhere.
The theory which his system is founded is
supported by common sense and is practical and
affective. No one who has any occasion to han
die horses, of whatever age or disposition, can
fail to be benefited by thorough understanding
of Capt Miles system. skR
Its chief beauty is in the fact that everything
IS done by gentleness and kind treatment-no
harshness or beating-no Rarey ropes to aggra-
vate or injure the horse.
yse same principle is adopted in the training
OF horses on the track, and experience has shown
1t to be as successful here in the first breaking
of the colt.
In our opinion Capt. Miles syetem is superior
to any we have seen attempted elsewhere. There
is no humbug in it. It commends itself to the
common sense of all who appreciate the noble
qualities of the horse. ..--
