On the 9Th of March, 1863, the Craw-
ford County Forum, of the pure Copper
head species, contained the following:
al am amazed that any one could
think of peace on any terms He who
entertains the sentiments is fit only to
be slave; he who utters it at this time
is moreover traitbr to his country, who
deserves the scorn and contempt of all
honest men," '.
The above beautiful extract is taken
from the letter of General Rosecrans to
the Ohio Legislature, in acknowledge
ment of vote ofihapks from that body.
Read and re-read it. He is receiving the
pay of Major Notwithstanding over
SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS a month-and
is opposed to peace on any terms;' wants
the war to last forever, and the suffering,
destitution and death it is causing TO
continue. Shame! There is no such
expressions as the above and for that
reason he is lauded to the Skies by the
Abolition press and gentry. 5f5 ~ if

The country newspapers, many of
them at least. are treating their princi-
pal patrons, the merchants and business
men Of their own neighborhood, very
unfairly. They profess to have regular
rates for the insertion of advertisements
and usually charge all local, short run
ming advertisements, at the rate of two
dollars per square-ten or twelve lines
of nonpariel or minion type-for three
insertions. These same newspapers will
make q contract with an Eastern Ad-
vertising Agent by which he can insert
IN their columns an inch of matter one
month for the sum of fifty-five cents
The newspaper charges the local adver-
tisers two dollars and fifty cents for. in
serting an inch hadvertisementfourweeks
and at the same time the Advertising
Agent takes the same sized advertise
ment, and frequently ofan Objectionable
character, from an Eastern advertiser
for fifty-fiye cents, of which amount the
Agent gets 20 per cent.-We have on our
table the circular of an Eastern Agent
who has contracts made with newspa-
pers all over the country, who boldly
makes the proposal to insert an adver-
tisement of II lines nonpareil type, in
453 newspapers one month for $3.50. Of
these newspapers, thirty are located in
Ohio. Now, gentlemen, of the the Ohio
prass. we want to know whether yo,l are
not treating your home advertisers badly
in charging them regular rates and then
inserting the advertisements Of foreign
advertisers at less than one-fourth the
rate you charge them? You charge the
home advertisers $50 cents for II lines
one month and allow the foreign adver.
tiser to ceme in competition with them
and insert his advertisement for the
sale ofthe same kind of goods, and only
charge him fifty-five cents for the II

The gold customs reduced 70 currency,
amounted to about $4SS. .eg0, 900, aor some
$50, ,OO0, 600 less than the revenue of Great
Britain. OurpopulatiOB is about II, ,000,-
900, or say 40 per cent. greater. The re-
ceipts for British customs were Sl12 ,000,-
600 gold, against $l8Ss s000, 900 In the Uni
ted States. There Is, however, to be ad-
ded to American public revenue the
amounts raised by the States, which
would amount to over $150,000,O 900 more
showing that the people OF the United
States pay only about $50, ,000, 600 more

The result of Gov. Boutwell's admin
istration of the Treasury Department
appears i'll proposition from a German
house in Frankfort to loan our Govern
ment shree million dollars at five per
cent. which the Secretary has, of
course, been obliged to decline. His
view is that we may within year bor-
row all the money we want at four per
cent, or certainly at four and a half per
cent. and present indications would
seem to be, though it is not intended to
speak i'm his name. that he will next
winter advise such loan for the pur-
pose of paying off the tive-twenties due
now or whenever the Government
chooses ,te SO consider them. A private
letter, not to the Secretary, from we'll
advised source in England, expresses
the opinion that bond at four and a.
quarter per cent. can easily be negotiat-
ed in Europe withinsix or eight months.

THE vARIEGATED DEMOCRACY.

In Ohio the Democratic party is in
favor of repudiating the payment of the
bonds, and for free trade. In Pennsyl-
vania it has a "bloated bondholder" for
its candidate for Governor, and is in
favor of paying the debt in gold, and for
q protective tariff.
In Ohio it denounces the XVIII
Amendment as unconstitutional and is
opposed to negro suffrage. In Virginia,
Tennessee and other Southern States it
is in favor of the. e.Amendmenta and elects

New YORK, July 26.-An American,
just returned from travelling in Cuba,
says the revolutionary forces display
muchsmore activity than the Spaniards,
and are constantly making raids and
otherwise harrassing the enc my. There
is, however, very little disorder outside
of that usually connected with military
operations, and private individuals
travel from place to place without mo-
lestation. Supplies are obtained from
the plantations and as the country is
very productive, both parties have an
abundance ef provisions. f ~ia
The principal wants of the revolution
lists are arms, medicines, salt, clothing
and shoes. There is no lack of men. and
the patriots have ammunition enough
to last them many months They also
have arsenals established for the manu-
facture of cartridges and repairing arms
that may become disabled in action.
The patriot leaders state that they do
not need any men from abroad, and
care particularly for arms with which to
equip the large number of patriot volun-
teers constantly presenting themselves.
. Great Inducements are shelti out to
blockade running. A fast stasteamer, such
as was employed by the Confederates,
would have no difficulty in landing a
cargo, and in addition to her receipts
from her regular cargo of arms, wsuld
make an immense profit on medicines,
salt, cotton cloth, rubber goods and
shoes, and would be given, free of charge
a cargo of sugar or tobacco with which

The excess was placed upon the Gen
erai Revenue list for extraordinary ex-
penditures, 80 that the amount lavished
in this way might not Overburden the
appropriation bill. All moneys coming
into the Treasury not otherwise appro-
priated, nave beeu habitually set aside
by law for the redemption of the public
debt, under Republican usage. This
year, however, the excess is appropriat-
ed to General Revenue purposes, to sup
ply expected deficiencies in appropria-
tions necessary :or the public service
These latter are thus excluded from the
sum of appropriations which appear on
the statute hook. In the law fixing the

purposes was changed from one and

tenths of a mill-was put upon the levy
for other extraordinary purposes. lh'

A Questionahle Law.

isEf Questienahlc Law. ,l.f IS ~
Within few days it has come to the
knowledge of the steam users of this
State that during the last hours of the
session of the Legislature, sn act /" Reia-
ting to the inspection of steam boilers
and for the better protection nef life
and property against accidents by
steam boiler explosions" passed that
body. A careful reading of this law
leads to suspicion that it was not got
ten up in the interest of steam users,
but rather in the interest of parties
having for sale . patent boiler attach
ment which the law requires shall be
placed on every boiler in the State. Par
ties refusing to comply with this law are
by its provisions liable to heavy penal
ties. This is no new scheme. The same
has been tried in other Staves. Some
two years ago a law almost identical
with this was rushed through the New
Jersey Legislature and its enforcement
attempted. The principal steam users
of the State, regarding it as an outrage,
combined together TO resist it. Fines
and penalties were threatened, but with
little or no effect. A petition for its
repeal was presented to the following
Legislature, and it was repealed. Thus
tempts were made last winter to secure
the passage of similar law in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
The Franklin Institute, Of efPhiladelphia,
took up the matter, and unanimously
voted to act With the steam users in pro-
testing against its passage in Pennsyl-
vania. Other States took similar action,
and these bills were defeated in every
instance except in this State; and it was
supposed to have been defeated here,
but final action, it seems, was delayed
until the last hours of the session, when
it was rushed through without giving
parties interested an opportunity to ex-
press their views or wishes in the mat
ter. The steam users are now informed
they must comply with the require
ments of the law. or they will be visited
with heavy fines and penalties. Some
of the Smaller manufacturers, rather
than incur trouble, submit. a,rt-
1t is estimated that there are three
Thousand steam boilers in this district.
The appliances required by law to be
attached to each of these boilers will
cost one hundred and twenty-five doll
lars. At this rate it will be seen that to
comply with the, requirements of the
law in this district alone will cost the
handsome sum of three hundred and
seuenty:fre thousand dollars. f,sill. 4,
This tax steam users are compelled to
pay for putting attachments to their
boilers that they declare are worse than
useless. We are. informed that the
heavy manufacturers of the State will
investigate this matter and see if they
must submit to such, special legislation
SO materially affecting their interests,
without being allowed the privilege of
an opinion.-[Cleveland

lines. 1t is, no deabt, very nice thing
for tie Agent; and he has grown rich by
pocksting his 20 per cent of the gross
cost of all the advertising he has fur
nished you, while you have not received
as much for the work as would pay the
price of the composition. AS long as
newspapers will employ these middle
men, and authorize them to take adver-
tisements for half the price they would
themselves make contract directly with
the advertiser for, they never will be
patronized by merchants and manufac-
turers, but will always be treated as
appendages to- advertising agencies.-
And We are inclined to the opinion that
they ought not 70 be patronized by local
merchants as long as they allow the for
eign merchant such unfair advantages
over them in their columns.
