The bitter and unrelenting spirit exhibited
by the secessionists of the South, indicates
unmistakably that the conflict commenced
six year ago for the destruction of the Amer


lean Union is not over, but merely transferred
from the battle field to the political arena
Defeated in their purpose eff overthrowing the
Government by force of arms, they now hope,
by the aid of Andy johnson and his satellites,
to accomplish their designs by obstructing
the wheels legislation, preventing the en-
forcement of the laws of Congress, and
wearing out the patience of the loyal people
of the North.


1t is useless for any one to argue that the
Confederates contemplate submission to the
requirements of the Federal Government any
longer than necessity compells them. If
they felt any compunctions on account OF
their warfare against the Government, and
desired to accept the National authority in
good faith, and forever give up their ideas OF
separate independence, they would certainly
act in a very different manner from that
which has characterized them since the sur
render of Lee If they honestly intended to
live peaceably under the laws in future, they
would have been willing to remain quiet and
allow the loyal element among them to assert
its rightful prerogative, and lead off in the
work of pacifcation and reconstruction. If
they no longer cherished disloyal designs
they would forego their hostile threats, stop
prosecuting Union men, cease numbering
the United States. If they intended to per
manently abide by the decisions of the war,
they would gladly accept the liberal and
Just requirements of the Constitutional
Amendments, and strive to soothe the pas
sons and annimosities engendered by the
conflict. But the fact is, they do not desire
any permanent adjustment with the Ma
tional Government, and merely desire to gain
respite and strength for new appeal to arms
whenever a favorable opportunity occurs
The power and responsibility of thwarting
them in their traitorous schemes and pur-
poses, and rendering them forever powerless
for evil, devolves upon Congress, and if that
body fails to perform its duty. it will de-
serve and receive the scorn and execration of
all true friends of American liberty and law
for all time.

CHuRNrowN.-The present season has
been propitious one for the miners around
Buckeye and Churntown, and most of them
have improved their chances. Hills and
ordinary season have been mined this winter
with the best results. If plentiful supply
of water could be brought into the Churn-
town diggings, thousand men could find
employment where not over sixty or seventy
can work at present.

REp WARRIoR.-We learn that the owners
of the second extension of the Red Warrior
lode, in the South Fork district, are making
preparations to commence work on their
claim, and are determined to find out some-
thing of its extent and value as soon as pos
sible. Kelton & Kellogg, of Douglas City,
are the principal owners, which fact alone is
a sure guarantee that something will be done
besides empty talk. They are men of enter

One very singular fact, says the " Youth S

inquest was ever held on his body; no legal
evidence taken as to the manner of his death,
nor was single person accused of connection

is there to this day any legal testimony
whatever as to the manner of his death, the
cause Of it, or who killed him.

 Bs- The Liverpool Journal of Con- merce. of February 9th, has the follow ing in it's editorial notice of the news of the day:

 The latest and most suicidal project vet conceived by American politicians is bill about to be brought forward by the reconstruction committee for dividing the States which took part in the rebellion into five military govern mcnts. The people in the North, in stead of cndeavoring to heal the ani- mosities and hatred aroused by the late war, and acting with magnanimity to their cl,ow-countrymen, arc apparent ly doing everything to pcrpctuatc the bitter hate between the North and South, and forgetting the principles upon which the Union is based and has risen to greatness. turning the power of one section of the people into an instru- ment of tyranny against another sec- ton. If the States are ever divided. surely such legislation as has lately been proposed is the one thing most likely to effect that end.

Charles F. Browne, the widely known s'ArHmus Ward whose early death in England we recorded few days ago, com meneed life as journeyman printer, and was an honor to the craft Though of late years in the possession of wealth, the earn- ings of his genius, he did not forget the hardships and severity of circumstances which so often overtake tho less fortunate of printers.

 He had seen men of talent broken down by the severity of labor; had seen men grow up old without having laid up any thing for old age; he had seen them wan dering from office to office, and city to city, seeking employment, and sometimes in want of means to continue their journey. There is necessarily, in profession in which there is so much general talent and in which intelligence and even genius is the rule and not the exception, a feeling of oppression and pain, when fellow workman, unable to labor, or too old to Ia, Dor, or suffering from waat, is brought tc public attention. f'

 MT. Browne has, by his will, provided for the commencement of an institution which, by the least possible attention, may be made one of the noblest and best en dowed charities of the country.

 Mir. Browne has provived in his vii that after his mothers death his proper | ty, amounting to possibly S60,00o, shal be devoted to founding an asylum fol printers.

 This bequcst, as honorable to the mem ory of the donor as it is to the craft O which be was a member, will of course bt | postponed until the close of his mother. life. It provides for charity which ap pcals directly to theheart of every printer and We suggest that steps be taken iminc diately to create fund which, added t, that donated by Mir. Browne, will secur. the endowment of an institution of tho first order

 We propose that the craft in all part. of the country, by united resolve, pro vide that there be retained by the foreman of each newspaper and printing office, iron the earnings of the journeymen, sun equal to five mills upon each dollar of hi. weekly bill. This small tax of onc-hal cent on the dollar should be paid over tt a local treasurer weekly, and by him for warded to a general treasurer, to be in vested until such time as the asylum funl will be available.

 Tho tax is a small one to each person but in ten years time, if properly invest ed with it's earnings, would constitute !; fund equal to the establishment and en dowment of an asylum equal to the de mands of the craft, and worthy of the mcr whose in6rmities of body may make then its inmates.

 We think this proposition worthy of tho attention of the typographical body of tl' country, and as it only needs union to mak, it success, we expect to see it carried, il some form, at an early date, into praetica operation -[Chicago Tribune.

The following article fsvOring the con-
struction of proper system of sewers
in our village, is from the pen Of one of
our most prominent citizens, one well

he treats, and we commend his cOmmu.
nication to the attention of our citizens,
as it contains many practical ideas, sug-
gestive of great good and benefit to the
village:


Editors Rutland Herald We noticed in
yesterdays HERALD an article entitled
"The Question of Sewerage" and were
pleased to read it, and as we regard the
affair one Of importance we feel it a
duty to keep the ball rolling.


This is applicable to Rutland, Vt, as

where the subject needs more agitation
and attention than here. 1t seems to be
a matter as yet that concerns no one,
and consequently no one is concerned by
it. Life and health is not the question
considered, but dollars and cents per-
haps more so. 1t seems to be the STRAIT

to free himself effectually OF the stencil
and effiuvia of his own privy and sink;

by, which is certainly q disgrace to any
place like Rutland.


Now, Citizens and Officers of this Vii.
lage, it is your business, all and every
one of you; your life and health Is posi-
lively at stake. 1t is at d time in the
year when Summer Complaints, Dysen-
terry, Fevers, OF Typhus and Typhoid
type or form, are liable to come upon US
with extreme severity; and there is GER
tainly enough etiiuyia emenatipg from
this public filth to generate all these dis
eases, and Cholera with them, as well
as others that may spring up from
contaminated atmosphere.


How shall we dispose of the offending
nuisance? Our soil is Of a too compact
material to act the part of filter; so
there is only one more way of removing
it; by sewerage. Now let the meeting
that Convenes this evening adopt ef-
fcient means for the same, and appoint
men and officers competent for the task
those that feel an interest in their neigh.
bOrs' welfare. Then let it be such Of
flcers' business and no others to attend to
the matter Then people will not go
oEt authoritatively and say to q village
Trustee, "You shall not disturb my
drains neither disturb the ground in
front of my residence" Such cavling
will be at an end.


The Trustees and Officers that we have
are competent enough, and would per.
form it as they have done their work be-
fore, with zeal deserving of commend
alton. Give them power. Let there
be q large capacious sewer from every
street, emptying into still larger main
one for the whole village, and that
emptying into East Greek and then
when completed, or before if needed,
send in the tax against the taxable in.
habitants, or raise the money required
in such other way as those appointed
may deem expedient.


This is matter at present that de-
serves the careful attention OF every
health loving citizen far in advance Of
beautifying the village with trees.


Let health be first considered the
greatest of all blessings as far as we can
protect it, that we may be safe from its
destroyer in our pleasant and comfort
sble ZONES. Then we may heartily en-
JOY our elastic and marble walks and
beautify our village with trees and
parks to an unlimited extent II desired.

The fate of the prohibitory system seems to have been settled for the present at least In Massachusetts that issue was fairly tried before the people and the pro- hibitionists overwhelmingly defeated We have never felt entirely certain that the Maine law was correct in principle We of Puritan descent must remember our he- reditary tendency to over-legislation. Our ancestors labored strenuously to make all men christians; but if, after reasonable time allowed to perfect his "evidences," !" any, ,one could not tread his title clear, " they inclined to set him in the stocks till he could. Nevertheless, our belief is that the time will come when liquor drinking, and consequently liquor selling, will be considered crime. As yet, VIC who vote Maine Laws, do not abstain quite strictly enough, ourselves, to warrant our compel ling others to abstain; while the really temperate half of our population are dis franchised.

The Water Power Company have been cementing the bottom of their ditch, where 1t leaked so badly when they filled it with water few weeks ago, and are going to let in the water again, this week.

In succeeding columns will be found , report of the interesting trial which ha. resulted in the conviction of the man call ing himself William H. Greene. Although the circumstantial evidence against hin was strong, he owes his conviction, WI think, to his infamous previous character, and suspicious subsequent conduct. Amar of good reputation and honest behaviour could not have been hung on such testimo ny.

 Greene is man of more than ordinar, intellect and plausible manners, and a nat ural orator. The fact of his having mar ried three wives within two years. and the hardened villainy of his conduct at and af ter the murder of the second, make us sus pect he may have deceived, and perhaps murdered other women. The proved truth, however, is bad enough, without in dulging in surmises.

 Atrocious criminal and hypocrite as he is, it was impossible not to pity him as the damning evidence was gradually unfolded to the jury, and as he stood up to receive their verdict. His is not one of those stol i'd countenances we usually see in the pris oner's box, expressing but feeble apprecia tion of the danger, and none whatever oi the infamy of their position. On the con. trary, every line of his face and every movement of his limbs showed the keen sensibilities, the quick perceptions, and the yearning for sympathy that perhaps neces sarily accompany the gift of speech. His most revengeful enemy could hardly have required more than to see him as he was brought day after day before hostile au. dience, vainly looking about for friendly face, and watching, with shrinking ex- pression about the eye not pleasant to be- hold, the cautious working of the machine ry by which the law was reaching his life.

 He is to endure the further torture of a years delay of execution, at the end of which, his sinful soul will be hurried from the gallows to it's final account.
