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- !

that a Fenian expedition across the lake
was contemplated, in connection with j
other simultaneous movements along the ?
frontier.

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.

-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.

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

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.

Having well cleansed the hair, a
liberal use of pomadej' or oil, will
tend to strengthen it. 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. Molt the wax
in the, oil K>f almonds by a'wat?r-j
bath at as low a temperet tire as j
possible; stir the mixture as it cools,
first adding the esseutial oils. Do
not pour it ont into jars until it is
nearly cool enough to set, and let the !
jars it is to be poured into be slightly
warmed.
PERFUMED Oms ion rm-: HAIR.
Tue basis of these oils is either al- j
mond, olive oil, or oil of ben. Which
ever is used should be perfectly fresh, '
and of the best quality.
MACASSAR On,.-This oil is mane
by the natives in the island. It is ?
obtained by boiling the kernel of the
fruit-tree resembling the walnut, ;
eulh/d in Malay bade?n. 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. If required red, .
color the oil with alkanet root, and
strain before adding thepurfunie. |
BANDOL?N E FOR KEEPING TUE HAIR
IN PLACE.-Mucilage of quince seed
is used-mucilage of picked Irish !
moss, carefully strained, is said io |
answer still better. 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.
