It has been the province of the
Lynchburg Virginian, we believe, to
furnish more of the remarkable rebell-
ion literature OF the South since the
war, than any journal of like faith
and Importance in the South. Its
present political status also, is in
tcnscly Democratic. These facts in
vest its utteranccs with peculiar i'm
portance With what understanding
then, shall we read the following,
from a recent editorial respecting the
Confederate cause and the Constitu-
ton of the ''so-called Confederate
States :"
THE rebellion was not war
against the Union, or our form Of
Independence of the South, but the
government and the same Constitu-
ton, with q few exceptions, was spe-
cially noted by Mr.. Davis in his ad-
Provisional President. He showed
that the separation of the States
would be permanent, but intimated
that, all chance of sectional quarrels

prevent any and every State Of the
Union from entering into the new
Confederacy and a permanent Union. p"
The declaration of this extract may
throw new light upon hitherto much
discussed subject, viz: the ground on
which the Democratic party OF the
North based its fierce and persistently
continued opposition to the war and
war measures during the rebellion.
1t is near US yet in memory, the course
OF disloyal Democrats. They opposed
the raising Of troops, and their pay
and subsistence. They not only die
couraged enlistments, but with force
opposed the draft, when enlistments
failed to meet the call for troops. To
further their reasonable wishes, they
were banded together in oath bound
societies, and constantly were they
actuated, as if they, too, then believed
the rebellion was not a war against
the Union, or our form of Govern
ment."
Yet, while doing these acts, for
which their leaders were imprisoned
and banished the country, they never
failed to profess their loyalty to the
Constitution and the Union. What
is the inference2 1t can be no other
than that they believed that in the
action the South had taken, it also
was acting loyalty to the Constitution
and the Union. Hence the Northern
wing of that party would have ected
loyalty to the Constitution and the

A Cincinnati genius claims to
have discovered a plan by which
the smoke and cinders from q 10
connective can be carried to the rear
end of tie train and there set free
without annoying passengers. The
apparatus consists of a simple tube
a foot or so in diameter, running
from the smoke stack over the tops
of tho car to the rear, the theory
being that the speed of Che train
will create tiraught of sufficient
power to suck in all the smoke and

as much from it as will cover the wart,

on the forehead, fasten it on with
strips of plaster. It may be removed
during the day and put on every night.
