angfslaéery has been the cause of our woes
and our burdens, it is our duty to labor for
its abolition. An institution antagonistic _to
liberty, opposed tothe first elements of chris-
tianity, which, in its barbarous tendency,
planned and perpetrated a cowardly, brutal,
and murderous assault upon freedom of
speech. and upon fidelity to truth, and to the
demands of justice, in the person of ascholar-
ly and accomplished statesman in the Amer-

our sons, and sent them by tens of thousands

unTI'ilengisgtgition recently. manifested by. a
rtion of our fellow-citizens to exercise
clemency towards the chief actors in these
revolting scenes is a cause for serious alarm.
At the time of the occu ation of Richmond
by the Union armies, an of the defeat and
capture of the insurgents under Lee, this in-
clination extended itself for a time with a
rapidity and power which threatened to dis-
re rd the claims of justice, and which made
that period one of greater peril to our liber-
ties than any since the commencement of the
rebellion. ' . . _
Leniency, without a- distinction between
loyalty and treason, is more certain to sub-
vert the government than is the rebellion It-
Clemency, at the sacrifice ofjustiee, is the
abandonment of government.
The treason of the hour is a crime» against
law and liberty. They who are guilty of it
have forfeited all rights to citizenship and all
claims to vernmental protection.
Every old of carnage, every rebel prison,
eVery 801d181'8.g1‘ave and the blood of the
martyred Presi ent, unite with a violated
law and demand the penalty.
Let it be inflicted, beginning with the lead-‘
ers in crime, and let it be followed up with a
firm hand, until the innocent and the loyal
shall be conscious of security under the vin-
dicated majority of the law.
Then, and not till then, may we safely re-
store forfeited rights and extend forgiveness
with a beneficent prodigality.
i If, during this struggle, we shall sustain
the general government in the performance
of its proper functions, abolish the inhu-
man system of slavery, punish traitors, and
adhere perpetually to the demands of truth,
righteousness and justice, we may hope that
throughout an undivided nation our pros-
parity will be increased, our peace be unin-
terrupted, and our liberties be eternal. '

December, 1864. Judge Patterson, who is
alsoa son-in-law of the president, lives in
Nashville. Mrs. Johnson has been in very

Wanted.
For four long, weary years, Mr. Jefferson
Davis, the first and last President of the
Southern Confederacy, (so called) has been
trying, with great perseverance and all the
ability he could master, to enter the city of
Washington. But circumstances prevent—
ed his entering the city as he desired. Cir—
cumstances have lately changed, and every
facility (including free transportation and
rations at government expense,) is now of—
fered for hi.° visiting that city. His modesty
. however now stands in the way, and he pre-
' fers wandering through the southern coun-
’ try looking for a last ditch. But so urgent
is the desire of certain of his former friends
and companions to see him, that one of
them, Andrew Johnson by name, offers to
give the snug little fortune of $100,000 to
anyone who will “induce" the said Jefferson
I, to make his appearance at the “ Republi—
can Court." Several other gentlemen of the.
“chivalry persuasion,” are wanted, but it
seems that they, too, prefer an extended no—
madic existence, to the warm reception guar-
anteed; them by Andrew Johnson. Very
,well, justice can. wait, for“-time will bring
.I them sooner or later, nolens oolens.

There shall his grave be made,
And there his bones be laid!
The funeral cortcge of President Lincoln, after
passing through the principal cities of the Union,
arrived at his old home, Springfield, Illinois, on
Thursday morning last, and thousands of people
were present to participate in the last funeral ccrc-
monies over his remains. The procession was un-
der the charge of Maj. Gen. lIookcr as marshal-iii-
chief, and Brig. Gens. Cook and Oakcs. The mili-
tary appeared finely. The guard of honor was the
same as during the entire route. Tire procession
was a very long one, and included the governors of
seven states, members of Congress, state and mu-
nicipal authorities, delegations from adjoining
states, Free Masons, Odd Fellows and citizens. The
vault in which the remains were deposited, is at the
foot of a knoll in a beautiful part of the grounds,
which contains the finest trees of all varieties. The
vault has a Doric gable resting on pilastcrs, the
main wall being rustic. The vault is about fifteen
feet high and about the same in width, with semi-
circular wings of brick projecting from the hillsides.
The material of the vault is limestone procured at
Juliet, Ill. Directly inside the ponderous doors is an
iron grating. The interior walls are covered with
black velvet dotted with evergreens. In the centre
of the velvet is a foundation of brick, capped with
a marble slab on which the coffin rests. The front
of the vault is trimmed with evergreens. As part
of the religious exercises, Rev. Mr. Hubbard read
the last Inaugural of the late President, and Bishop
Simpson delivred the funeral oration, which Is
said to have been in the highest degree eloquent

DIPLOMATIC AGENTs.—The four grades of
diplomatic agents are embassadors, embassa-
dors extraordinary and ministers pleuipoten-
. tiary, ministers resident, and charges d’af-
faires. The first named are the highest and
are rarely or never sent by the United
States. They are accredited di-
rectly to the sovereign or executive of the
foreign state, are supposed to represent in a
peculiar and personal manner the sovereign
or executive of the home government. Em-
bassadors extraordinary and ministers plen-
ipotentiary are the next highest in rank,
ministers residcfit form the third class. ,A
charge d’afi‘aircs—a French this meaning
charged with business—is the lowest of di-
plomatic representatives. He is never ac-
credited to the sovereign, but to the minis-
try of foreign affairs, and is supposed to be
sent outby the ministry of foreign affairs of
his own country. Since the passage of the
diplomatic billof 1865 this grade has been
abolished, except in the case of the absence
or death of a minister, when the allies for
the time being bears the title.

MR. EDITOR—A stranger in this beautiful ’
region is naturally struck with the aspect of
.wealth, enterprise and refinement which
both of the villages ofNorwalk present. As
“no man livctli to himself” the enquiry uri- .
see what is this community doing for itsowu :
moral and intellectual elevation? What is
being done to educate and elevate the masses
tliature growing up to be a power for good
or for evil in our country? When peace is
restored it will need more than ever before,
men of strength, wisdom and virtue to cm-
ploy its boundless resources and to maintain
and perpetuate its institutions.
In addition to the influence of the family,
which is primary and fundamental, and of
the school which is limited in extent, every
community should provide means for men-
tal md aesthetic culture supplimentary to
these. Libraries,Reading Rooms, Opportu-
nities for scientific and other lectures are
needed and apparatus and facilities should
be provided. To give character and perma-
nence to these, a suitable building should be
erected.
Which of these beautiful villages will ini-
tiate such a step? Which will have the
honor of first erecting a Town House or
Hall that shall gather within its walls the
means of di.sing intelligence and enkind-
iing patriotism in this community ?
New York will honor to the latest gener-
ation the name of Peter Cooper, for the
large-hearted philanthropy that has embodi-
ed itself in his Institution. Brooklyn will
remember with similar gratitude the name
of Graham, whose liberality erected and en-
dowed a Lyceum from which thousands of
the youth of that City drew instruction and
amusement through its free library and Ice-
tures. Would that every City and Town in
our country had such benefactors. Whose
honored name shall such an Institution in
Norwalk transmit to posterity, associated
with the acknowledged culture of the com-
munity in which it is located“? Who will
contribute of his wealth to develop and los-
tertbe native talent which God has given
to the youth around liim,—but which for
want of such kindly help may grope its way
in obscurity—never to bless the world by
its power!
Artists of Old have built themselves into
sculptured stones to perpetuate their name
toadmiring generations. Who would not
rather incarnate his life and executive fame
in an Institution that shall be rich in results,
inmental quickening, and moral education,
to unborn millions ? *

gions as his twelfth labor. A cow was de~
livered Of a calf having two perfect heads—

was short lived. The rest of the body' we s
according to the regular course of nature.
It was thought by some who saw it, that,
had it not been injured while being taken
from the cow, it would have lived, and, of
course, would have been a fitting subject for

inclination to discredit the report prevailed every-
where, but as dispatch after dispatch was received
the doubt vanished, and every one was thrown into
the saddest thoughts and reflections imaginable.
The sad news, so quickly following that of great vic-
tory by our army in Virginia, made the shadow more
dark and feelings.more gloomy; the thought of the
Star OI‘Peuce being so near, and then our President
to die by the hands of a villain and assassinator was
to all a serious, saddening blow. All Public build-
ings were draped in mourning. Early the morning
of19th, Flags floated sadly at half-mast, draped in
solemn black, Bells tolled throughout the Crescent
City and all seemed sud indeed. Foreign Flags
wore the mourning and were placed at half-mast,
also private buildings generally throughout the city
were draped in full mourning, and all was still save
the solemn toll of Bells. All business not really
necessary to public service was suspended for the
day, 19th, and most of the 20th. Generally great
sympathy is shown by the citizens and utmost
indignation is depicted in every look and word,
hopes that the assassinators would be brought to a
speedy judgment and condemnation are freely ex-
pressed. -
There wasalarge delegation of officers and citi-
zens, assembled at the foot ofcanal street, the even-
ing of the 19th, to welcome back to the Depart-
ment of the Gulf, Maj-Gen. N. P. Banks, who was
reported at 8:30a. in. passing Baton Rouge on steam-
er Pauline Carroll: She arrived at Stocks Landing,
(2miles above the centre ofthe city) at 10 p. m. from
whence General Banks proceeded quickly to his res-
idence attended by a few friends, disappointing the
delegation, yet with the sad news previously receiv-
ed, all was for the best as no one could feel cheerful.

GREAT—A nation’s greatness should con--
sist in its goodness and justice to the people
then it would have the truly patriotic for its
defenders, and the people, watching their
own interests, would ever be vigilant. A
man’s greatness is his goodness. A man is
good in proportion as his works which exalt
him. We see by the acts of F. B. BALDWIN
that he does much more for the community
than business requires, as he does not contin-
ually “ mark up” his goods by the gold mar-
ket, but actually sells gentlemen’s and chil-
dren’s suits of clothing, considering the qual-
ity and style, thirty per cent. below any of
the Broadway stores. No: 70. and 72 Bow-

One of the objects of my writing you, is to
put you or any of your friends, on their
guard against some of the most stupendous
lies ever printed in a newspaper, which I ac-
cidentally saw copied in our Bulletin from
Beecher’s Independent, N. Y., and which I
enclose. It speaks of a certain tract of land
near Santa Barbara, (I have been there) con-
taining a number of Oil Springs, and» where
oil wells have been bored, that are yielding
immensely in oil. Now that country is
about two days travel from here, by the
Steamer going every few days, and besides
they are trying for oil all over the State,nortli
and south, and to the dat'e‘ofithis letter they
have not in a smgleinstancc found an oil
spring or sunk swell and found oil, and the
advertisement in the Independent is a false-
hood in every particular, except possibly the
presence of Asplialtum in large quantities,
which is well known, and out of which a
kind of Kerosene was extracted years ago,by
a Mr Morril of this city, but after expending
$10,000 in extracting a large quantity of it,
(some hundreds of barrels) it was found that
it could. not be purified so as to burn, and
was totally unfit for a chemical use, and was
thrown away.
As further proof, the only Kerosene ever
received in this‘city, as a native article, came
here for the first time about a month ago,
from Stockton, and was extracted from some
soft coal found near there, and up to this
time there has not been more than 100 tons
ofit brought down on the Stockton bonls ;
and this is all that has been found in Cali-
fornia.
As we in this State have been badly bit-
ten in wild cat stock Operations during the
last year, I feel it a duty to avert it, if pos-
sible, on your side of the land,-if telling the
truth does any good.
WThe above is copied from a private letter re-
cently received by Mr. Theodore Smith. of this
place, from his brother, Mr. A. V. Smith who has
becnaresident of California since 1849, and given
to us for publication. Accompanying this letter is
along article on the same subject, from the San
Francisco Bulletin, taking the same ground, and
most emphatically calling all the California Petro-
leum Companies humbugs. If these statements are
true, it is full time to expose the base imposition
and put the public on their guard. Mr. Smith claims
to have personally visited the land purchased by
“the California Petroleum Co.,” and pronounces
the statements made by that Company in their Pros-
pectus, to be false. On the other hand Prof. Silli-
man, of Yale College, who has the confidence of
the public, and Is believed to be a capable judge,
claims to have made uscientiflc exploration of the
tract, and gives most glowing accounts of its im
mense wealth, and on the strength of his reports,
the land has been bought, and a company organized,
having for its officers some Of the first business
men in the country, and it does not seem possible
that it is a bogus compuny,—if it is, it is indeed a
swindle of the first magnitude. We trust, however,
that Prof. Silliman and the officers of the Company
will yet be able to explain this matter satisfactorily.

this have long been in use for covering

are such as to render it perfectly water--

Persousof sedentary habits troubled with Weak
ness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of ap-
petite, distress af‘ter eating, torpid liver, constipa-
tion, d'c. deserve to suffer if they will not try the
celebrated
PLANTATION BITTERS.
which are now reccommended by the highest medi-
cal authorities, and warranted tO produce an imme-
diate benificial cfi‘ect. They are exceedingly agree-
able, perfectly pure, and superceda all other tonics
where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required.
They purify, strengthen and invigorate.
They create a healthy appetite.
They are an antidote to change of water and diet.
They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours
They strengthen the system and enliven the mind.
They prevent miasmutic and intermittent fevers.
They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach
They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation.
They cure Diarrhoea, and Cholera Morbus.
They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Headache
They make the weak strong, the languid brilliant,
and are exhausted nature’s great restorer. They
are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, win-
tergreen, asssafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in
pure St. Croix rum. For particulars, see circulars
and testimonials around each bottle.
Beware of impOsters. Examine every bottle.
See that it has our private U. S. Stamp unmutilated
over the cork, with plantation scene, and our sig-
nature on a fine steel plate side label. See that our
bottle is not refilled with spurious and deleterous
stuff. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-
tersby the gallon or in Bulk, is an impostcr. Any
person imitating this bottle, or selling any other
material therein, whether culled Plantation Bitters
or not, is a criminal under the U. 8.. Law, and will
be prosecuted by us. We already have our eye on
several parties refilling our bottles, &C. who wil
succeed in getting themselves into close quarters.
The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from In-
dies, clergyman, merchants. doc. is incredible. The
simple trial of a bottle is the evidence we present of
their worth and superiority. They are sold by all
espectable druggists, grocers, physicians, hotels,
saloons, steamhouts and country stores.

with Mr.
JOHN s. HARDY,
The ll’orld-renowned American Horse Tamer! who
will give a series of public Exhibitions and Lee—
tnres, practical and demonstrative, of his system of
subduing Wild and Vicious Horses! Mr. Rarey iii-
vites every one having vicious and hitherto unman-
ageable Horses—110 matter what their temper or
how badly broken they may have been-do bring
them to “ WREELER’s GREAT INTERNATIONAL CIR-
CUS," on the day ofExhibition,’either in'the After-
noon Or Evening, and he will not only subdue the
most savage and furious of them by kind and gentle
means. but also in his Lectures instruct their own-
ers how to do it themselves. In illustrating his the-
ory. Mr. Rarey will introduce Lord Dorchcster‘s ia—
mous English Horse.
CRUISVER.
Upon whom he first displayed in England the mighty
magic of his art. For three years CRUISER had
been unmastered, no person having dared to ap-
proach him. He was vicious from afoul—a perfect
fiend incarnate—whose maiicc and fury rendered
him a terror to his keepers. He would often kick
and scream with rage for ten minutes towether;
tear up the ground with his teeth. sna iron ars in-
to fragments like pipe stems, and kit: ’ his stall into
the finest fragments, until they confined him in a
box plated w1th iron. His grooms were compelled
to dress him by the aid ofn long 10, to which the
curry—comb was affixed: a great iron muzzle (which
has been preserved by Mr. Rarey, and will be shown
during the lecture) was placed upon him by strain-
gem when it was necessary to bring him out, and he
had to be fed by food thrown to him from a safe
distance. In the course of three lessons. this “fiery
untamed steed” was completely subjugnted by Mr.
Rarey, and became as gentle and docile as a lady’s
pet pony. In London. Mr. Rarcy gave his Lectures
and exhibition Of CRUISER iii the presence of
Queen Victoria. her family. and all the principal
Nobility of England, the price of tickets on this oc-
casion being flve guineas or over fifty dollars each.
No man before RAREY ever succeeding in subduing
ubiting. kicking, vicious Horse by it humane and
rational method. It is RAREY’S system to TEACH
the Horse instead of breaking him. The variable
CRUISER, though getting old, is still a fine speci-
men of an English thoroughbred. and is now in the
possession of Mr. Rarey. Mr. Rarey will Deliver
his lecture and Exhibit Cruiser. Afternoon and Eve-
ning. Unmanageablc Horses may be broughtin to
