The Bbip Eliza, for Bremen from New York, waa run into and sunk off 1'ortlnnd. \ All but one perished. Thc London merchants propose giving | Mr. George Peabody a banquet before leaving for America. The Loudon Times' Paris correspondent says that Marshal Niel, who commands one of'the greatest French military divisions, had an interview with the French Emperor in Paris. It is inferred from these circum -stauces that if war break? out between Prussia and Austria, a corps of observa? tion would bo formed on the Rhino, Mar- I ?hal Niel commanding. The Italian Ambassador at Berlin, in a despatch to Turin, announces that war is | inevitable. Italy is preparing, in case war occurs, to j attack Austria in Venetia. The Fenian*. Nrw YORK, April 25.-The Fenian opera- i tions have takeu a novel aspect at Oswego. | Several boxes of a ponderous nature, and marked "machinery," having been received at that place, directed to Patrick Regan, a prominent Fenian, the Government au- ; thorities on Sunday night thought it ad- ! vieable to investigate. The boxes were found to contain 140 Springfield lill? ?, which were accordingly transferred to the : United States fort. It is ascertained that' several hundred rifles had been already distributed before the detectives discover- ! ed tho business. Circumstances indicate that a Fenian expedition across the lake was contemplated, in connection with j other simultaneous movements along the ? frontier. CALAIS, Me., April 23.-Two supposed Fenians, while crossing the bridge to St. Stephens, this afternoon, were turned back j and refused passage. One of them drew a revolver and fired one shot, but without I effect. Both were arrested by the guard at the Calais end of the bridge, and after wards handed over to the civil authorities. The affair has caused considerable exeite -?jjient on both sida? of the river. Prom Mexico. SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-Passengers bv the Golden Age report thc recent defeat of the French near Mazatlan is fully confirmed ! by the arrival of a French frigate at Ac?- ? ?ulco, which brought the bli ther news that I ho Imperial forces under Jazalda, whilo advancing from Tepic to operate with tho j French, were routed by the Liberals under j Corona and Rubio. The Imperialist Consul, Guilien, has re- ' ceived official despatches from Mazatlan, i asserting that the stories of Imperial re- ! verses are false; that the Impcrialiats were i victorious at Presidio, near Mazatlan, aud j that Lagoda defeated the Republicans at Acapomta. Private letters ana newspapers i seem partially to confirm these despatches. NEW ORLEANS, April 23.-Rio Grande advices on the 15th instant state that General Mejia had returned to Matomoras, leaving a portion of his forces with Gen. Jeaningro, who was charged with the operr.i/ons against thu liberals. On his retu? a, Mejia fell into an ambuscade during the night, commanded by Canalez and Cortina, which he penetrated, losing six killed and wounded. The Liberal lose is unknown. Mejia brought into Matamoras 200 wagons, containing $500,000 in coin. Before Mejia's arrival, it was reported that Corrinne came within three miles of Mata? moras and hung two conductor? of thc train, lt was also reported that the Libe? rals procured eighteen pontoons, and were crossing artillery from the American to the Mexican side. The statement has proved false. -.-??-? AN ACCIDENT.-A letter from the \ proprietor of tho Express, who spent a few days in Union, informs us that Mr. Jeter, the President of the Spar- j tanburg and Union Railroad, met with a serious accident two weeks ago. He was riding on the front of a push car, with his legs hanging down, when his feet caught on thc cross-tries, which threw him on the track. The car dragged him six. or eight feet, and ran off. One of the wheels passed over his body, fractur? ing the left .lin above the elbow and severely bruising his right thigh. He was doing well, and could attend to the ordinary business of his office. Tho President was in fine spirits, and hoped that the road from Alston to the river would be finished by July. [Spart*tilbury Exj>ress. A detective from Montreal joined a Fenian expedition at Calais and lias not been beard from since. Trouble is anticipated on account of the ex? clusion of Catholics from the Mayor's Court for the trial of the Cornwall prisoners. -Vitro-ttlyccrlnc-\V5?at li lt J The Panam? correspondent of thc f-New York Times givfs the following j"accoirnt of this fluid: Tlie fluid known by the name of rnitro-glycerine wits first made about fifteen yeats since, by M. Pelouz?, of Puris, who fhoughf it too dangerous for practicable use. A short time I since, Air. Alfred Nabel, a Swedish j chemist and engineer, thought he had ; so improved upon M. Pelouze'a re? ceipt as to avoid this difficulty, and i established a house for its manufac- j turo, at the head of which he placed a younger brother. Mr. Nabel claimed that the compound wss inso? luble in water, that it cannot be ig? nited by simple contact with fire, "thus removing all risk of accidental explosion in store." "The discharge can only bo effected under certain circumstances, which are indicated in* the directions for nsing the article. On applying a Lucifer match to the oil, the latter decomposes without cxplosiou, and on removing the match, the fire immediately extin? guishes. It can bear, without dan? ger, 212 degrcM of heat, (Fahreu heit,) but explodes at about 360 de? grees." Put notwithstanding the claim which Mr. Nabel made, that the oil could be manufactured and used with ?o much safety, one day in January, 1865, Mr. Nabel's factory, together with his brother and work? men, were blown into such little par? ticle-? that no trace of building or workmen were ever after discovered. Of course the cause of the explosion, ?ts was that of the Wyoming Hotel, and now of the European, is wrapped in mystery. This oil is described as being in color of a light yellow-a compound of glycerine (the sweet principle of oils) and nitric acid, its chemical formula giving eighteen parts of oxy- j gen; and Mr. Nabel claims that as by j combustion the carbon takes twelve : atoms of oxypen and the hydrogen five, its complete combustion leaves a surplus 0 only. Ho states that each 100 parts of exploded blasting oil leaves a residue of: Carbonic acid, 5S; water, 20; oxygen, 3' ? ; nitrogen, 18 U-1,000; and that us the specific weight of the oil is 1.6, one volume produces 1,208 volumes of gas; that is to say, steam 554; carbonic acid, 469; oxygen, 39; and nitrogen, 236. "Weight for weight the blasting oils bears very favorable comparison with gunpowder, which is calculated ordi? narily to produc? about 250 volumes Of cold gas only, the nitro-glycerine would consequently appear to be, other things being equal, about five times as effective as gunpowder." j Mr. Nabel claims more than this, for j he says it is difficult to determine the 1 degree of heat produced by an ex ploding substance, and that, accord? ing to theory, the blasting oil, on account of its completo combustion, ought to develop a more intense heat than gunpowder, and thus the heat developed by the explosion of nitro? glycerine is twice that generated by gunpowder, and from this calculates that nitro-glycerine, compared with gun-powder, possesses about thirteen times its power, when volumes are considered, and eight times its power for equal weight. THE REST; LT OF ABOLITION TEACH? ING.-On Monday night, the 2d inst., a daugter td* Mr. Wm. Griffith, of Jenner township, this County, aged about seventeen years, eloped with a full-blooded nigger, black as Erebus. Sometime after night, Miss Griffith | slipped out from her father's house, ; met the nigger on the road, accord ing to previous anrangement, and the same night walked to Johnstown, eighteen miles distant, with a view of taking the morning train for Harris? burg, where they ,vere to be married. Mr. Griffith, discovering the absence of tho parties, and suspecting their intentions, proceeded forthwith to Stoystown, the nearest telegraph office, and there telegraphed to tho police of Johnstown to arrest them on their arrival, which was accord? ingly done. Miss Griffith was taken to her father's house, aud thc nigger was, on the 4th inst., committed to the jail of this County, to await his trial at the next Court, which will amount simply to nothing, as it is no legal offence; but purely a matter of taste and smell. The nigger has been in theemployof Mr. Grillith for some time. During the last winter, he fre? quently took his daughter aud Mrs. Griffith and other female members of the family sleigh riding. He was ou a perfect equality with the family eat at the sameuible, slept under tho same roof, and enjoyed all the rights and privileges that Mr. Griffith's children did. Mr. Griffith is tine of the original Abolitionists of the County, has voted that ticket for the last twenty-two ; years to our certain knowledge, and has advocated the cause of negro equality in a zealous manner. Hu often said before his family that a "negro was plenty good enough fora poor white girl," and similar expres? sions, showing tin? bins of his mind. The daughter, having confidence in j her father, imbibed his teachings, i and concluded to act upon them. I Pennsylvania Democrat. New York advices of Sunday, say , that the cholera is increasing on the steamer Virginia at a fcariul rate; thirty-three new cases have occurred. 1 Thc hospital ship at quarantine is capable of holding seventy-five per? sons, and there are sixty-four on board. No other accommodations have yet been provided. >?mj^miiSS^ -!--?-li The organs af the revolutionists persist in declaring that the testimo? ny of General Lee and Mr. Stephens, ol Georgia, before the "Obstruction Inquest," is exceedingly damaging to the canse of the South. They derive much godless satisfaction from this opinion, for they are deeply interest? ed in the Southern people being re? garded aa exceedingly perverse and stubbornly disloyal This, they al? lege, is proved by the declarations of two ol the foremost and most honored of our citizens, who declare that the temper of the people of the South has not improved during the last six mouths. Tearing this testimony from its context, and presenting it in a frag I mentary state, they say that a people thus "stubbornly rebellious should not be restored to all their civil rights." The falsehood of this accu? sation consists in the assertion that the Southern people are not respect? ing the laws and Constitution of the United States, for, if they are "still rebellious," they are unfaithful to their oaths of allegiance to tho Go? vernment, j Both of the distinguished witnesses ! declared that no recently defeated people could possibly Tb% moro obedi? ent to the laws than we have been. If our feelings are not as kindly towards tho Government as they were j before the meeting of Congress, the fault lies at the door of that body. If there are sectious of the South where the people are gloomy, morose and discontented, the misconduct of ne- j gro troops, the predacity of so-called ? Treasury agents, the unnecessary ; harshness of local mUitary command ants, and tho arbitrary arrests o[ I private citizens without due process ! of law, are the prolific causes of this unpleasant state of things. And if ! the "general feeling of our people is not as friendly as it was some months j ago towards the Government," it is because our Representatives have been excluded from Congress, and our section denounced for nearly five months by one of tho departments of the Government. The respect for our misfortunes, ? and the liberal terms of capitulation proposed by Grant and Sherman, ! produced a most favorable impres- ! sion. We expected the same mag? nanimity upon the part of Congress . that the successful Generals exhibit? ed. We thought the liberal policy of the President would be seconded, and ! uot violently and factiously opposed by Congress. We also thought ?.hat four years of terrible war having beeu | waged to restore the Union, the will ' of the nation would bo respected by the representatives of the nation. In each and all of these expectations, we have been miserably disappointed. ! We have, nevertheless, in no in- j stance, "rebelled" against laws the complete protection of which we have ! not enjoyed. We have submitted to taxation without representation, and j borne with noble fortitude much which might have beeu omitted by ; generous enemies. A different course of policy than i that pursued by the revolutionists would, wo sincerely believe, have j healed many of the wounds and i effaced some of the bitter memories I which have survived the late struggle i of the South for independence. Treated as enemies, branded as j "stubborn rebels," accused ol' hypo crisy when we mado open professions of loyalty, denounced as "traitors" if j the proud spirit of our people resent ed insult, it is not strange that our! people do not devote much time to conciliating a revolutionary party whose hatred is implacable. But our i gratitude for noble, generous conduct { like that of President Johnson has been unbounded.-Richmond Times. THE BILL TO AMEND THE HABEAS COKPCS ACT.-This bill has passed both Houses of Congress. The os tensible motive for enacting it-the ! protection of office? of thu United States army from vexatious suits for i damages in consequence of acts done ! in the line of their duty-is com- j mendable enough, though we fancy ' the desire to screen certain noted par ties from the legal consequences of j their misdeeds contributed not a little to securing the success of the measure. Some of the provisions of tho bill are declared by able lawyers to be uncon? stitutional, and will probably be held so by the Courts. This is less to be regretted, as tho law, in its present shape, has several objectionable fea? tures about it. It is retrospective in its operation, and therefore comes under the con? stitutional prohibition against ex post facto laws. Moreover, if any citizen has been damnified by tho tortuous act of in officer, a right of action ac? crued to him at the time the trespass was committed; and such right is a vested right, of which no subsequent '. legislation of Cougress can divest him. All that Congress can properly do in the matter-all that it ought to do-is to relieve an officer who has innocently rendered himself liable to suit, from the consequences of his act, by assuming his defence aud pay? ing the judgment, if one should be had against him.-New York News. The last bill for slave labor against the United States was audited in the Treasury Department yesterday, lt was for the work of slaves belonging to a Charlestonian in repairing Fort Moultrie iu the early part of 1861. The claims bore the endorsement of Lieut. Foster, Maj. Anderson's engineer, and siuce Major-General of Volun? teers. . The Washington corresponden t of the Now York JJerald, writing nuder date of the 24th inst., says: The rumpus in the radical camp is constantly increasing, aud tho strength of tho President, is propor? tionately augmenting. The cause of the disaffection in the ranks of ?he Congressional disunionists, aud the rumpus among their leaders is be? coming apparent. Their chief men outside of Congress are beginning to see tho futility of their opposition to the President's scheme of restoration, ? and are looking: about for some plan of accommodation or compromise. It j is rumored ou the street that lien j. ? lintier is engineering a scheme for j the preservation of the Kopublicau i party, which embraces a set of mea- ! sures between those settled upon ! by the President and the crude ! ideas entertained by Thad. Stevens, i Sumner and their adherents. Butler's | scheme is said to be, first, that the ; President shall make a complete change of his Cabinet, and call i to his council men in full accord with tho policy to be pursued. Ile then proposes a general amnesty to j all thc people of the South, with the j fewest possible exceptions, such ex- | ceptious to be confined to Davis and i his Cabinet, Weat Point graduates who have served in the rebel armies, ] members of Cougress who vacated their seats nt the breaking out of the ? rebellion, and perhaps a very few i other notoriously bad cases; that i Congress shall then pass some sort of ; an enabling act, requiring of the j Southern States that they shall en- : dorse the political proscriptions, 1 amend their constitutions to conform thereto, give equality to all men, re? pudiate forever the rebel debt, and : officially manifest an accord with the accommodating disposition of the ? General Government; that tho test1 oath be then abolished, und Congress adjourn for three months. On the acceptance by the Southern States of these terms and their adop? tion, elections to be held throughout1 the South for members of Congress, any person not specially excluded by thetermsof the amnesty to be eligible to election. On the re-assembling of Congress, if it ahull appear that the Southern States have- conformed to j the terms, their Representatives shall j be at once admitted, on the same conditions and footing as the North- ; ern Representatives. This is the outline of the general scheme, which is carefully drawn np and matured in all its detail--.. This scheme com? mends itself to thc more intelligent, of the radicals, who can see the ab- ; sence of any hope for the success of their Jacobinical ideas, and explains thc breach cf cordiality between Sumner and .Stevens on the recon? struction business. It remains to be seen whether or not the Presiden! is prepared to abandon the plan that was conceived by bis lamented pre- . decessor, and which has been so un? waveringly pursued by himself. The Louisville Journal lets off the following bunch of sky-rockets: We wish that the women would make among themselves an anti-stay law. Happy remarks are often made by very unhappy men. Obsequious men cannot i >_> soon ' have their obsequies. A reckless dispenser of pills de? serves the pillory. A vaunting man's mouth is a per petual gas bill. The Dead Duck was, even in life, a ' political quack. There is many an uneasy mau in an easy chair. The men fret and women flounce. Better be a toad than a toady. Chief Justice Chase does not think that the President and Congress can ever agree. We don't suppose that Congress would agree with Andy even if he. were to swallow it. The President's peace proclamation did not ?rente peace. It was simply the official annunciation of a peace already in existence. AU the crops fail sometimes, except the fool crop and the knave crop.

Tho reports on the Quarantine Commissioners' books show that from the 12th to the 20th of April, inclu? sive, forty-seven deaths from cholera occurred on board the Virginia; on tho 21st. four, and on the 22d, ten; making in all. down to Sunday ni^ht, sixty-one deaths.

One of the best onguents for the hair that is made is termed Philocome, the mime of which is a compound of Greek and Latin, signifying a friend to the hair: White wax. five ounces; al? mond oil, two pounds; oil bergamot, j one ounce; oil lemon, half-ounce; I oil lavender, one-fourth onset!; oil j cloves, one drachm.

Tho oil is : mixed with other ingredients, and has ' something of a creosote smell But j the Macassar oil sold in this country has probably no relation to the above, i except in name. The following will ' produce a good article of Macassar oil: Olive oil, one pound: oil of origil- I num. one drachm; oil of rosemary, one ; drachm, mix. Rose hair oil is made of fine olive or almond oil, one pint; oil of rose, twenty drops.

The following is 1 particularly recommended: Gum tra- ? gacanth, (finest picked,) one ounce; reduce it to a coarse powder; rose water, one pint. Put them into a wide-mouthed vessel, and shake them j together for two or three days, then ? strain with gentle pressure through ! the linen. The world over, the practice of j dyeing the hair is adopted l>y persons who have grey hair. The following is an excellent recipe for hair dye: Powdered litharge, two pounds; : quicklime, half-pound; calcined mag? nesia, half-pound. Slake -the lime, using as little water as possible, to ' disintegrate, then mix til? whole. Directions for use; Mix the powder with enough water to form a thick, creamy fluid; with the aid of a small brush, completely cover the hair to be dyed with this mixture. To dye : a light brown, uliow i. to remain on the bair four hours; .birk brown, eight hours; black, twelve hours. As the dy. does not act unless it is moist, it is necessary to keep it so by wear- I ing an oiled silk cap. After the hair is dyed, the refuse must be thorough? ly washed from the head with plain , water. When drv, the hair must be oiled. An excellent application for the i hair, which ia also a remedy for skin diseases, blemishes of the com- : plexion, etc., is as follows: Take of1 precipitated sulphur and sugar of lea'l. each, one drachm; rose water, four ounces; mix well. This is not au instantaneous dye. but should be applied twice a day till it gradually restores the color to its natural shade. The addition of half an ounce of glycerine will take from it a drying property which is unde? sirable.- -.Yoe V'/ck Doitidur.
