The Confederate rIus.

The hearts Of the loyal thieves of
South Carolina native and alien
"rc stirred to their deepest depths by
an incident in tho recent election
cont st between the towns of Barn
and Black,illc. The election was
held III accordance with an act of the
Legislature, to determine which town
should be the capital or county site
"t Barnwcll county. After severe
struggle BaInwell came of victorious
by majority of less than fifty votes.
After the result Of the election bc-
camo known, the people of Barnwcll
made noisy celebration Of their
triumph, and horns were blown; and
cheers were given, and banners flung
tho breeze in the usual election style,
Nut some partisan of the drrca,o
B!ackvil!o set aNoat horrible ru-
NOR TO the clcot that F'thc friends of
Barnwell paraded the streets with
wagons from. (which tloated n Confcdcr-

"Iho intelligence was duly for.
warded to Columbia, and tho news Of
this crowning rebel outrage hlazoncd
to the world. Tho scalawags and
carpet -Sagsers howled pitcousIy, and
the loyal organ commented upon the
occurrence "in such language as such
an Nnwisc and impudent act merit

and all of this SnpGrloyar indignation,
It now appears that the owner Of the
wagon from which the Confederate

perhaps displayed the talent which secured
him the greatest reputation, was in the set

The SOLDIERS WHO ENLISTED FOR THREE
YEARS, OR DURING THE WAR.-When the
rebel armies surrendered, in the spring Of
1865, very many Union soldiers who had
enlisted " for three years, or during the
war, chose to consider the war over, and
returned to their homes without waiting for
the little formality of discharge. As a
consequence, the charge of desertion was
entered against them on the rolls, and they
have been unable to obtain their bounty
and back pay. 4 resolution was adopted in
the House, yesterday, directing Indiana :
Senators and Representatives in Congress to
urge the passage of a law TO restore to
them all their rights, the same a. if they
had been legally discharged, and TO remove
from the rolls the charge Of desertiOn
against them. Their offence was technically
that Of dcsertion, without a doubt, but as
they had served faithfully until the war
was virtually ended. and as many Of them
really supposed that the surrender Of the
rebel armies and the cessation Of hOstilities
was the end Of the war and terminated
their term of enlistment, it is to be hoped
that Congress will overlook their escapade
and relieve them of their disabilities,
especially as their offence has already been
admitted by the military authorities TO have
been a venial one by the neglect to bring
them to trial.-IndRapohs Journal, FebrU-

The GREAT GRAIN REGION OF THE NORTH
WEsT-In a hearing before the Railway
committee of the Massachusetts, Legislature
last week, Mr.. c. Carleton Coffin called at
tention to the grain trade. England, he
said will expend SI95 900 900 for grain this
year. One third Of last years supply came
from Odessa, and about a third from Ameri
ca, 274 per cent. oft from the United States.
We must try to get that Odessa trade. The
wheat is carried in sailing vessels which are
sent there in ballast, $500 miles. Buffalo
has been one of our great marts, but it Is
now supplanted by Montreal. But the St
Lawrence Is closed in the winter and Mon
treal has but p months TO operate on the
fall crop. We can get our grain, via the
proposed ship canal from the St. Lawrence
to Lake Champlain, and Boston can get the
start Of New York by four days. Boston
can take the trade from New York, and even
from Russia. Mr.. Carlton went on upon
his favorite topic, the Northern Pacific. 4
route from Lake Nipissing to Lake Minni-
peg. has been surveyed, and found absolute
~ impracticable. The nOrthernmost passa-
bic route must come into the States at Saul
de Ste Marie, then strike the Northern
Pacific at Duluth, and leave it at the Red
River of the North. In that region wheat
yields from 40 TO 80 bushels an acre. double
what it does in Minnesota, and better wheat
And the wheat area l. large enough for an
empire Now to Puget Sound from Boston
Is 5000 miles; from Boston TO san Francis
co is 3,357, by grades that virtually add ca
miles more in going west, and 1T in com
ing east, than those Of the northern route.
