General Grant has instructed General
Hancock to reinstate the members Of
the Common Council of New Orleans,
recently removed without any other
reason except their Republicanism, and
they have accordingly been reinstaEed.
There is a report that General Hancock,
offended at this, will ask to be relieved
of his command. If he should do this,
no loyal person would regret 1t.

itary element, and upon the victories
claimed to have been won through his
prowess, it was held that the Radical
party could triumph at the ballot-box,
if it could triumph at all.
This is the secret of GRANTS nomina-
tion. Separate his military achieve
ments from his history, apd the remain
der is infinitesimal. Of statesmanship,
he knows nothing; the science OF gov
ernment has been beyond has reach If
not beyond his comprehension. In pol
itics he is tool, and in civil life dunn
my. Tried by the standard of war
times, he is an accomplished butcher;
measured by the demands of the living
present, applied TO the ponderous prob
lens of finance, suffrage, reconstruc-
tion and all the grave questions OF
American political economy, be is as
worthless as would be gnat to criti-
cize the dome of ST. PETERS; as power
less as pulling infaat to comprehend
infinity, or grasp the purposes of om-
Impotence in the government OF the
Universe.
CoLFAX is a concession. His nomiua-
tion, like GRANTS, admits the weak
ness of Radicalism upon its principles,
and aims at success through policy.
WADE OF WILSON would have fairly
represented Radicalism as it is; CoLFAX
is the exponent of what it must appear
to be, in order to catch the fleeing and
confirm the wavering. WADE would
have been rugged candor. CoLFAX is
simply polished inanity. 'In the art
of Misunderstanding and making bows, be
is the most accomplished statesman in
the country" Take from him his dan.

"Across the Continent" and any New

1t is respectfully suggested that, as
far as may be practicable and eonve-
pisut, the Delegates be chosed by Town
ship or County Cow entions, on
SATURDAY, JULY 4th, 1863.
Il is also recommended that
tine Delegates from the First and Sec
and Congressional Districts in attend
,nce upon the State Convention nomi-
nate Congressional candidate and q
Presidential elector for each of their
respective Districts.
The possibility that, owing to their
r.moteness, some of the counties of the
Third Congressional District may not
be fully represented, has induced the
Committee to leave the selection of the
time and place for making their Con-
rrrssional and Electoral nominations
entirely to the discretion of the Demo-
cratic and Conservative voters OF that
District.
Fellow Democrats and Conservatives!
Your political brethren i'll all parts OF
,hc country where elections have been
utlu WIlnln tue last Twelve mOuruo,
have achieved magnificent victories.
The great reaction which is to redeem
the nation from tyranny aud Inisrule
he's fairly set in. In other States, it.
progress is irresistible. Let us, too,
press forward in the work OF
redemption. Net one moment
should be lOst-no exertion spared.
County, Township and School District
organizations should at once be COM
pleted, and every man who can be
moved to eSpOuse the right, should be ap-
preached, Informed and melted to ac-
ton. The work is in your hands. If
you are truoto yourselves, your State
and your country, you cannot fail.
Success will crown your efforts, and the
blessings of good Government, so long
unknown in West Virginia, will once
more bring to her people peace, prosper

But far from it. He has nothing but CEN
sure and disapprobation to bestow upon
the Indian Board, and Las Cases, the au-.
thor of the ordinances. In speaking Of
the fate of Blasco Nunez, that first martyr
to the abolitionist cause, he makes use of
a few words of sympathy, which he soon
after contradicts by the most bitter criti-
cism. How could it be otherwise? At
the time Prescott was sv riting, great
courage was necessary to any one who
would venture to uphold abolition doc
trines. Some ten years previously, the
City of Boston had witnessed scenes of
disorder caused by anti-slavery propagand-
ism-perhaps untimely and imprudent-
and from that moment, by kind of tacit
agreement, silence was maintained by
writers on that subject.

The TUBE WELL BoRER.-Messrs. Cusheon
Co., patent agents, have laid before us
model of this celebrated patent, which was
practically used in the Abyssinian war, and
by which water was procured at depth of
100 feet. This well borer is so constructed
that it can penetrate through the hardest
substance and cannot get choked or impeded
in any way. 1t is claimed that it is partieu-
larly adapted for California, or any dry or
sandy portion of the country; that il Is suit
table for any kind Of pump, and can be made
available in almost any locality. The tube,
perhaps 21Sinches in diameter, terminates
in a sharp steel point, which is intended to
90 through any substance less hard than
granite rock Next to this steel point is a
section Of tube composed of perforated iron,
covered with braided copper or brass wire
net work, and the remainder of the tube Is
of wrought iron, like large-sized gas-pipe.
The tube being driven with the sharp point
downward into the earth, joint after joint Of
the pipe is Joined on and follows it down un-
til water is reached. The water precolates
through the wire netting into the tube, and
a suction pump applied TO the upper end
raises it to the surface readily. This process
obviates the digging of large and expensive
wells, and when the army moves on the tube
can be pulled mt and carried of, TO be used
at the next i'.ng place.-AAa-
