ergetic an amiable friend. John Grouse.
Esq as will be seen by his card in our adj
vertising columns. has opened wholesale
and retail liquor store in JOhnstown. We
have tested the quality of Mr.. Crnuse's Ii
quors. thanks to his kindness, and kno1r that
they will stand the test or the strictest scru-
tiny. They are well selected, and being Of
fered at fair prices, we can see no good rea-
son why our Cambfia friends should go to
Pittsburgh or elsewhere to buy liquors, when
they can do as well in quality and price
with Mr.. Grouse in Johnstown. Let home
enterprise be properly encouraged when it
is found worthy of patronage.

a RUNAwAY LOCoMoTIvE.-NdrrOtc ES-
cape and SeriOUS Wrcck.-An accident some
what destructive in its results occurred to
the eugiue of Mr.. j lmes DOran, on Saturday
morning last, while descending the eastern
slope of the mountain. 1t seems that Mr..
J'urau had assisted in hauling the Cincinnati
Express west, and while in the vicinity Of
kittan1ing Point, on his return trip to AL
toona, the brake chain on his engine snapped
asunder. With great presence Of mind Mr..
Doran reversed his engine Immediately, but
the strain on the steam chests was too severe
aud the result was that one OF them exploded,
thus rendering him powerless to control it.
The grade here is about ninety feet to the
mile, ard it required but few moments for
the engine to attain fearful momentum,
and Mr.. Duran and his fireman were com
pclied to abandon it. at this time its speed
could not have been less than forty miles per
hour, and it is matter Of aston shment that
both escaped without serious injury. The
runa way engine, with constantly accelerating
speed III he'd do with mountain, and, about
four miles beyond the point where the brake
gave way. c)llided with freight ira which
was passing down on the same track. Tne
result can be imagined. A number of the
cars were completely wrecked, aud the ell
CINE vas stripped Of the cow-catcher. head
ght aud ortion Of the machinery. No
blame can attach to Mr.. Doran, as this was
one Of those accidents Which no amount of
foresight could provide against.

enter into th combination against loss from
sales made on time. Let the stock OF the COM
oany be FIVE hundred thousand dollars, with
shares at one thousand dollars each, ten per
cent. to be called in at once, with liability to
assessment in the way o. losses, in the same
manner as q Mutual Fire Insurance Company
Upon the formation of such company, tins
directors would agree upon the rates to be
charged for guaranteeing certain classes OF
debts, say thirty and ninety day bills, or sales
at six months as also the rates to be charged for
guaranteeing number one debts and those OF
other grades. The practical working OF the
matter would be thus: A customer from Iowa
proposes to buy bill Of goods at ninety days.
Inquiry is made at the guaranty Office: "What
will you guarantee that bill for?" The answer
is-half per cent, one per cent, or, II 1t Is
doubtful customer, three to five per cent, or
not at all. But if the company guarantees the
bill at all, having strong capital, and the best
of credit in the community, the liability to loss
is evaded at once. Such guaranteed bills
would be as good as cash in any bank and
could be realized on instanter.

Footing tho Bills.

The St. Louis Republican argues that
since Congress asserts the right of holding
the ten States as territories and managing
for them their affairs, the entire expense Of
the reconstruction business should have
been lifted from the shoulders of the people
Of those States. They could as justly be
called upon to pay the expenses of the FIVE
District Commanders as to pay those of the
conventions, since the latter are as truly
the agents of Congress as the commanders.
Whatever work they do is of no effect till
Congress approves it, These States, it truly
says, are wronged deeply enough by being
dominated by conventions, which they abhor,
and by military rulers, without being called
upon also to foot the bills TO demand
money of them for this, when they are SO
poor that they cannot save their property
from sale for taxes, is extortion and op-
preston.

Congress and tho Smokers.

The Congressional Committee of Ways
and Means is smoke blind, By its own con-
fession. It is in doubt whether it pays to
smoke. and solicits information on the sub
ect from all the world and his wife. We
have no doubt the wife will say that
smoking does not pay; that is, viewed from
her peculiar standpoint. All the world,
however, may think differently; that is, if
he dsres to differ with Mrs. W. Jesting
apart, it is melancholy to think Of this un-
fortunate committee seated in its gorgeous
committee room in solemn conference upon
the tobacco question, smoking the pipe Of
perple1ity aid utterly befogged in its own
smoke. Let the smokers of the country
rally to its relief For one, we are ready
to contribute our quota of information and
consolation, and if the committee wants our
opinion on the pending questions, viz
"Shall every cigar have a revenue stamp
affixed to it; and, if so, how is the stampto
be affixed ?" it shall be gratifed on the spot.
First, then, we object to the revenue stamp
in toto. Stamps are good things, doubt
less; we don't object to them on bank
checks payable to our order; but it is quite
possible to have too much of good thing,
and a revenue stamp on segar would furnish
case in point. Secondly, if we must have
the stamp, we object to its being affixed to
the cigar. We-all the world-can't afford
to indulge in SO expensive luxury as smok-
ing revenue stamps. We have heard of
people lighting their cigars with bank notes.
But that was in the good old days; and even
then the act was thought to SAVIOR of prodi-
gality. And besides, the habitual burning
in efigy of United States Commissioners of
Internal Revenue, might be supposed to
have smack of disloyalty about ii, and
our cigar bills might hereafter be brought
up in judgment against us. No, if we must
have the stamp, let it be placed on the back
of the smokers neck. 1t would thus have
the double effect of vindioating the smok-
er's patriotism, and aiding him in the re-
duction of the refractory weed; and if the
committee would only declare bounty to
be awarded periodically in each collection
district to the smoker who should present
himself before the assessor with the great
est number of stamps (duly cancelled)
ranged along his spine, we have no doubt
the happiest results would be obtained.

The Late John M. Daniel.

Mr.. FREDERICK S. DANIEL, of Richmond,
Virginia, will publish at an early day vol
ume containing memoir of his brother the
late JOHN NJ. DANIEL, with selections from
the writings of that gentleman as editor of
the Richmond Examiner.
JOHN NJ. DANIEL is one of the great men
of the century. Savage, bitter, and sar-
castle, but true, earnest and devoted to the
cause of the South, he filled the columns OF
the Examiner with fervent appeals to the
patriotism of his countrymen and scath-
ing denunciations of the leaders of the Con-
federate cause. No man had more at heart
than he the well-being and fair fortune OF
the Confederacy. Few men, nevertheless,
did more to discourage hope, to weaken
faith, 10 encourage disloyal despair.
With the death of Mr.. DANIEL the Exam
iner fell from its high estate. Bereft OF
the genius which had so long shone in its
columns, for q time it strove feebly and in
effectually to N intain the place which the
dead giant had won for it, and vainly sought
by vulgarity and abuse to initiate the match
less power of his pen. Such is the natural
termination of the career of journals which
rest all their claims to public favor upon
the spirit and fire of their denunciations.
They decline steadily and surely from the
day that the master mind is lost to them,
and nothing but its in6rmities remain.
Mr.. DANIEL was man Of brilliant power,
n strong writer and deep thinker. The
book promised by his brother will be looked
for with interest.

CHI AR E S TON.
THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 90. 1863
A welcome for the South.

It is amazing to note how cordial anu
unanimous the Radical newspapers of the
North have suddenly become in favor of the
instant admission Of these Southern States
into the sacred sisterhood of the Union.
Those who three months ago were loudest
in their protests against the reception of
ssunrepentant rebels" are now the foremost
in bidding US welcome. 1t tmatters not that
we are difident about our loyalty, and
would prefer longer probation; they will
not listen to any excuse; we must come in,
and at once. Even the New York Herald
joins in the cry. II contends that the
whites of the South, having all the lands
and controlling all the capital and manufac-
lures, must, within year or two at
furthest, secure the preponderating indu-
ence in the State governments, to which
they are entitled. 1t therefore urges: "Let
"these excluded States be brought in at
sonoe on any terms which this Radical
"Congress may think proper, because,
"when it can be shown that these recon-
ostructed States are under conditions of
"negro supremacy aagrantly unjust to the
"whites, the people of the North will have
sc word to say upon the subject in the ap-
"proaching elections for the next Congress.
elf, in the admission of these sufficiently
"badgered Southern States, there shall
"come up to Washington sprinkling of
"negro members of Congress, it will only
"widen the popular Northern reaction
"against this whole Radical negro supre-
"macy system" These kind and conside-
rate suggestions, so different from the kicks
and cuffs and curses to which we have
long been accustomed, prompt the inquiry:
Whence this newborn anxiety of the Radi-
Gals in the Northern States for the company
of their "wayward sisters" of the South?
