Forty or fifty journals having seen fit to soy that wo have assumed or asserted that there was no funda? mental difference between tho lato Southern rebellion and the American Revolution, we ore moved to remind them that wo consider the two os wide asunder as tho poles-the one a struggle for liberty, tho other an effort to diffuse and perpetu?te slave? ry. If this is not a difference, wo know not what could be. But they were alike in this, that each of them was a formidable insurrection, under local authority, against what had previously been tho paramount or national authority; and they were alike in coming within the purview of the dootrioe laid down by Mr. Webster in hie earlier Bunker Hill Oration, os follows: "The battle of Bunker Hill was attended with the most important effects beyond its immediate result as a military engagement. It created at once a state of open, public war. There could now be no longer a ques? tion of proceeding against indivi? duals, as guilty of treason or rebel? lion. That fearful crisis was past. The appeal now loy to tho sword ; and tho only question was, whether tho spirit and the resources of the peo? ple would hold out till the object should be accomplished." Why is it that most of those who seek to differ with us on this matter are as shy of this passage as the Evil One of, holy water, or a mod dog of water of any kind? One valiant soul does venture to say that the Federal Constitution defines . treason otherwise than as above. But do you fancy Mr. Web? ster ignoraut of that definition? Yet do you observe how broadly he takes his' ground, os if it were universal and incontrovertible? Now let us look ot tho constitu? tional provision: "Treason against the United States sholl consist only in levying war against thom, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and com? fort." Hero is a plain effort to so define treason as to preclude all constructive or artificial treasons-to confine it within nnrrower limits than those prescribed by tho common law. Evi? dently, no ono dreamed of impli? cating a largo class who were not traitors by British low. Who, then, are traitors by the terms of the Federal Constitution? Not all who levy war against our country; for tho British ead the Mexicans have dono that, yet were in no sense traitors. Nor yet all who live in this country, yet levy war upon us; for Indians often do that, yet are not held guilty of treason. Nor yet al] that owe allegiance to our Govern? ment; for when the British, in 1813, undertook to treat as traitors the Irishmen fighting against them, Geu. Scott resisted, with the full approval of our Government and people, and would havo hung every British officer then in our hands, if the British hod shot or hung our Irish soldiers as traitors. Doubtless, our Government might, in the infancy of tho rebellion, havo seized and tried tho leading seces? sionists as traitors. But when the progress of events lind created what Mr. ^Webster torms "open, public war," and we had recognized the fact by exchanging prisoners, and oven privateersmen, the case was bravely altered. "Thero could now bo no longer a question of proceeding against individuals os guilty of trea? son or rebellion." So says Mr. Web? ster; ond we do not believe on Ame? rican jury could bo fairly selected in any Stato to reverse his judgment. [Neio York Tribune. Five-sixths of all tho apples in the low-lands of Indiana havo been killed by the frost. SPEECH OF GOV. ORR.-At the ear- i nest solicitation of many friends, his Excellency Gov. James J_. Orr con? sented to addresp tho people of the District, on last Monday, in the Gonrt House, upon the political con? dition of the country. After roviowiug tho vari' us plaus presented since tho war for tho recon? struction of tho Government, he ear? nestly insisted upon tho acceptance, by tho people of South Carolina, of thc pinn of reconstruction now pro? posed, ns tho only means of prevent? ing tho administration of tho affairs of this country from passing into tho hands exclusively Of tho ignorant, and consequently thc barbarian and tho tyrant, and os tho only hope of making this country cventolerable. He showed, from tho census of 18G0, tho great preponderance of colored over white voters in tho State, and our utter inability to defeat a conven? tion, or to protect ourselves when? ever wc tnako an issue directly with the colored people. According to tho census of 18G0, it appears that there aro GO,OOO colored voters in tho State, while thero aro only 40,000 whito ve'ers; leaving a majority of 20,000 colored voters. It is true, perhaps, that there aro not as many colored men in South Carolina now as in 18G0, but it is almost suro that the proportionate decrease has been much .greater with tho white than with thc colored men in thc State, since tho commencement of the late. war. Gov. Orr insisted upon tho cultivation of the most cordial and kind relations between the two races iu tho South, and tho formation of no alliance with tho two great pol.'tical parties of the nation.-Anderson Intelligencer. ---?-??-? DlFFEUENCES IN TUE SHAPE OF FEET.-Tho New York Hide and Lea tlter Journal notices a few of tho dif? ferences in tho shape of tho pedal extremities of people in various sec? tions of the couutry: "Shoes made for one locality are not adapted for all. For instance, a broad shoe, wido in tho shank, is best adapted to thc Eastern trade, a narrow sole meeting with but little favor. Rhode Islaud, though tho smallest Stato iu tho Union, cnn boast of having some of the biggest feet that ever trod solo leather. Tho Middle States require slimmer shoes and higher iu tho instep than the East. Tho instep grows higher as we progress Southward, commencing with Virginia, and tho foot shorter and more plump. Karoly, at tho North, does a full-grown man wear less than a No. G, running up in tho scale of sizes to No. ll; but, at tho South, many a full-sized man wears fours and fives, and seldom over nines." Thc ladies of the South have con? fessedly alwaj's had tho smallest and prettiest feet of any race iu the world. ?K0REA8B AND MuiiTTPLY. -The New York Times says: It is pleasant to find one branch of Southern industry which has not been ruined by tho war. Tho fishe? ries on the James River, according to the Richmond papers, are yielding an unusual harvest. Tho fish havo been less vexed and thinned out during tho last few years thau usual, and havo had time to increase und multi? ply. Herring and shad aro im? mensely abundant, and aro said to be flooding tho markets at remarkably low prices. They constitute the ouly portion of tho Southern inhabitants who havo led anything like quiet ami peaceable lives for the last fivo or six years. Peace has prospered them, as it does overy community. REGISTRATION TN LOUISIANA.-In consequence of tho stringent rules enforced in Louisiana, aud thc ne? glect of the whites to register, thc New Orleans papers say tho propor? tion of registered colored voters to whito voters is so largo as to becomo alarming. Outside tue city, thc pro? portion is still greater. At tho latest accounts, tho voters registered at Batou Rouge woro thirty-six whites and three hundred and fifty colored. At Ascension, fiftj*-ouo whites and seven hundred and ninety-six colored. Part of tho disproportion is account? ed for by tho fact that every qualified negro registered, while a largo pro? portion of thoso whites not disfran chased by law refusod to register1. STRAWS IN VIRGINIA.-Tho row hitherto reported as occurring bo twecn negroes and tho United Statos burial corps at Danville assumes a different aspect when wo learn that tho burial corps was formed of ne? groes also. It was Unelo Sam's nig? gers against Virginia niggers. Unelo Sam's niggors put on airs, as they do to a groat extent in many places in the South, and tho Danville darkies whipped them out of town. Virginia niggers, therofore, have sympathies that are to some extent local. [jVeuj York Herald. SPECIAL NOTICES. PANKNIN'S HEPATIC BITTERS are rapidly gaining in publi? esteem.

A gentleman told me that his son has been taking thc Queen s Delight, and is moro benefited hy it than by any other medicine. lie wants a dozen bottles."' Extract from a letter: "It is duo to you to state in this public manner, in order that the poonta may know tho truth, that I have tried your Queen's Delight, and found it not only what yon said it was-"a tune medicine"-but tho best medicine I have ever taken tor eruptions and g?nerai bad health. I had an eruption all over my hedy, with impaired dige.-tion and disor? dered liver, and have tried a great many medicines without any benefit. I have taken ono bottle of your Queen's Delight, the emption has disappeared, my appetite is better, my liver and digestion :s im? proved. I am satisfied one or two more bottles will cure me." Extract from a letter: "At the close of the war, my constitution was shattered. 1 could nut eat, bleep or perform any duty whatever, such wi>.s my prostrate "condi? tion. Medicine and medical aid I had in abundance, snell was my condition up to a tew months since, when I began thc use of your Queen's Delight. I have used two bottles, my constitution is greatly im? proved, my appetite in good, enjoy refresh' lng sleep, and am able to perform my share ol daily labor." Extract from a letter-Wonderful effect ol' only one bottle: "I have used ouly a liait bottle of 'Queen's Delight' for boils and eruptions of the skin and itching hu? mors ol' tho blood, which annoyed me very much. I am entirely cured. 1 think your medicine a valuable one." A remarkable case of liver complaint and headache cured Ly tho i:?e <,t "Heinitsh's Queen's Delight.'' A lady of unquestioned worth and reputation voluntarily gives les tim..ny of th?: wonderful effects of th; medicine. she has been from early years a martyr to neadachos, caused by imper? fect action of the liver, producing intense headache and pain over tho eyes. Sho has taken only four bottles, and assures us of the perfect euro it hus made. She now en? joys good health. Still another: "During last spring, I had been troubled with obstinate chilla and fever, which, when cured, left my system in a wretched condition, blood impure, and I was afflicted with an angry, and, as I at ono time thought, nu incurable, cutaneous eruption over my entire body. The most violent remedies suggested failed to work a cure, until, at tho iustnnco of a triemi, 1 tried Dr. Heinitsh's Queen's Delight. Less than two bottles cured me, leaving my skin in a healthy condition. My general health is as good as over. For such purooses, I have, ever eineo my cure, nnhcsitatingly recommended your Queen's Delight." Don't buy any bot the right kind.

THE various diseases to which that no blo and useful animal, tho horse, is subject, and the little knowledge that is known of them by farriers and ignorant ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to be offered to the public under different form-, with high encomiums, and sauc tioned by dignified names. Some of these are injurious; others, at best, of little use, and many entirely worthless, and do net meet thu want. " A good medicine, freo from objections of this kind, has long been d< sired ny many gentlemen who havo va? luable horses. Wo therefore ofter tho only good medicine-the true."GERMAN HORSE POWDER," which has proved so efficacious in all tho diseases, lt fs pro pared from tho original recipo of Dr. Hei tiitsb, of Germany. Its extraordinary vir? tues aro attested to by thousands, and for fiftv vears has stood, and still stands, first in the estimation of all experienced farm? ers and agriculturists as the best medicine for the horse. It is recommended for horses foundered by eating to excess or drinking cold water when healed, to such as have symptoms of glandors or aro ex? posed to the infection hy being with other horses, for indigestion, distemper, hide? bound, drowsiness, loss of appetito, inward sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, SOPO eves, swelled legs, grease, mange, surfeit, old coughs, for exhaustion from work. It carries off all fonl humors, purifies and cools the blood, and prevents ho. ^es be? coming stiff and foundered. It is a stimu? lus for weak stomachs, and renders the limbs and skin soft and fine, giving a smooth coat to the bair. Ask for "Hei niteh's German Horso Powder." For sale by FISHEB ?
