Trial* eT Travelers—Union Pacific Rail*
: ai .pftHi-i • j&L
: ; The telegraph some time ago gave us a
brief account of the sufferings of over two
hundred passengers on the Union Pacific
Railroad, while detained by the snow in the
Rooky Mountain section. The New York
Times has a letter giving details of the af
fair. The through train was stopped on
thi 13th ofFebruary at a place called Raw.
lings. Thera the passengers remained till
the 2?d,‘grumbling, growling and threatea
ting. Mr. Hopper, the superintendent of
Wasatch division, received th-m always
with a.smile, promising from day to day to
let them start, and each day brought disap
pointment. One day the hands were hard
at work, and would be through the next,
and the next brought despair by the inform -
ation that the snor had newly drifted into
the deep cuts, and it was impossible to get
through.
Mcautimothe passengers were allowed
the use of the telegraph, and they freely
transmitted curses of the road to thi er-t-
-erncities. ' ;t
On the 2ist, Mr. J. N. Campbell, super
intendent of the Laramie division, telegraph
ed that two hundred passengers going west
had been supplied with “three locomotives
and shovels, with the understanding that they
should shard throughHe adds: “They
left here yesterday morning and have only
got about twenty miles. They find that it
is no play to shovel on-tv! One-fourth will
not work at all." I his was cool enough!
No wt-uder that tin th rumaieter wa» on the
'next day twenty-seven degrees below zero.
It seems; these wostward-bound two hund
red made little headway, and what became
of them the correspondent of the Times
does not say. The castward-bjnnd passen
gers left Rawlings on the 22d, with thr e
locomotives and seven days’ rations. They
proceeded forty-fivo miles and lan into a
snow-bank, where they remained forty-eight
hours. 1 his eata-trophe, in the opiui.in of
otic of the railroad condu.tors, was uot out
of order, since, when they started, he told
them it would serve them right if"they ran
into a snow-bank.
WlieD arrested by this deep bank of snow
the passengers got out and worked hard,
shoveling tiie snow from the track ; but as
fast as they cleared it away it wis blown
baek by the wind, nntil about midnight, in
despair, they gave up, and the traiu and
locomotives were still and motionless. That
night the'thermometer fell to twenty-seven
degrees below trio. Over seventy passen
gers were frozen, more o~ less, including
Judge Southard, of San Francisco, who had
his uose-frozen, and Mr George E. Whit
ney, who had both of his ears nipped off.
On Wednesday, tlie24tb, ninety passen
gers started to walk through to Laramie, a
distance of ninety miles. Others afterwards
followed so that not more than twenty-five
passengers stuck to the snowed-up train.
Oft the 25th instant they ■: ado seven miles,
on the 26th they traveled twenty-six miles,
eleven of them by a part of the number of
travelers, on a locomotive to Miser Thi ncc.
again by-foot the wearied and suffering pe
destrians journeyed on, through wind and
'etidw,'' till they" fCachftd Laramie, on the lBt
of V pril- Many ' were frost-bitten and all
were greatly distressed
•1 This is but a brief sketch of the horrors
of this journey on the Union Pacific Rail
road, which, as a winter ronte. is full of
perils to travelers—even in summer they
aie rot safe from snow-storms Oneoccnr-
red last June in" the Rocky Mountains,
-which subjected the passengers to intense
suffering.
- .Tbis road has been a pet of the Govern
ment. Its corporators have amassed mil
lions through Government bounty. Yet
the - Government has reihsed assistance to
the line via the Southwest Pass, which is
free from the perils of frost, and whose
glades are'easy. How strangely are we
governed! Nevertheless, the road via the
Southwest l ass will be bnilt by private en
terprise; and when it is finished if anybody
from the'Pacific has his nose or his ears bit
ten off by frost on the Union Pacific Rail
road in February or Juae, it will be his own
fault.—■Richmond Disp tch.

Facts about the Cuban Revolution.
The present movement for the liberation
of Cuba from Spanish tyranny, says the
New York Sun, began on tbelOth of Octo
ber last, when one hundred and twenty-
seven men at Yara, under General Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes, declared for the inde
pendence of the Island. In less than six
months it hasspresd until it now embraces
an area of 20,000 out of the 30,000 square
miles included in the Island. Within these
limits there are one hundred and forty-seven
'pities, towns and villages, of which more
than one,half are in tfie hands of the revo
lutionists.
Out of the 150,000 men- able to bear
arms in the whole Island 45,090 are in the
ranks of the patriots, 30,000 of them being
stationed in the Eastern, and 15,000 in the
; Central Department. The total population
of. the district in rebellion is 548,838, of
which there are in the Eastern Department
126,368 whites, 86,374 negroes, free before
the revolution,- and 51,778 slaves, jnst
emancipated by the patriot leaders. Ia the
Central Department the numbers are 172,>
567 whites, 42,444 negroes, formerly free,
and 69.207 slaves, newly freed. The pa-
.triots have thus, it will be seen, given fib
.erty.tp more .than 120,000 slaves, and, when
ftey succeed in redeeming the whole Is
land, will |4q the same for 180,000 more.
The, estimated wealth of the real estate in
the territory held by the patriots was, in
1862, $550,000,000, and its industry apd
commerce were reckoned as representing a
capital of $774,000,000. The annual pro-
ductions were: Sugar, $62,000,000; tobac
co, $15,000,000 ; other produce; - 852,000,-
000.
It will thus be seen that the insurrection
is ( by do meanstbe trilling matter the Span
iards represent it to be.

Sone one in the Editor’s Drawer 01
“Harper’s Monthly,” says: “Levi Pock-
well, of East Windsor, Connecticut, is a
gentleman who seems to have had certain
notions relative to the expenditures requi
site for the comfortable maintenance of his
honschold that differed from the views of
his spouse Julia. Julia having decided
upon making sundry little purchases that
Levi calculated he could not and would Dot
afford, aud deeming it his duty to apprise
the public that hr went upon the cash plan,
annouiced that lact to the public in the
following stanza;
“Julia, my wife, has grown quite rude,
- She has left meins lonesome mood;
She has left my board.
She has took my bed,
She hoe gave away my meat and bread;
She has leftme in spiteol friends and eh-irch,
She has carried with her all my shirts.

Since she cut this reckless caper,

ed the following advertisement:

Apd here is one more somewhat similar
iu sentiment—though perhaps both are
equal’y poeti ■:
TO LET.
To be let at a very delicate rale,
A snug little house in a fine healthy state,
Tis a bachelor’s heart and the agent ia chance,
A free lien the rent—to he paid in advance.
The owner, as yet, has possess'd it alone.
So the fixtures are not of much Tains; butsooa

Take a lease for the term of her natural life.
The tenant will have a lew taxes to pay—

Provided true title, by proof, can be shown
To a heart unencumbered and free as hi. own.
So ladies, dear ladies, pray do not forget,
Here's an excellent bachelor's habitation to let.
“Legal Technicalities.”
According to the Chronicle’s account
says the Macon Telegraph of the interview
between Gov. Bullock and the President
upon the Georgia question, all is right be
tween those functionaries. President threw
the responsibili y of deciding the constitu
tional rights involved in the rna'ter upon
Congress, who he said were better law
yers than he could claim to be: and besides,
there was a necessity in the matter which
would override all “lega technicalities.”
This easy-going interpretation of his offi
eial responsibilities will at OBCe resolve a]
donbts. and put the President upon hel
b.-st possible footing with the Supreme
Congress. The day of vetoes, founded up-
ou constitutional law, is over. The Presi.
dent, we arc to understand, will shelter him
Bdf in respect to them nnder a plea ofjw-
tonal modesty—a line of policy which might
be something safer if the Supreme Con-
g ess would show a little ofthat same quality
in its assumptions of power in defiane of
the Constitution. Bnt where Congress is
wholly without modesty or sctuple in their
own unwarrantable usurpations, and the
President is too modest to oppose his crude
conclusions against their better knowledge,
the Constitution stands no chauce at alL
And finally, to clinch the matter, and re
solve all doubts the President brings for
ward again that same old tyrant’s plea of
“necessity” which has over-ruled all law for
the last ten years, and is in iact the on
ly rule of action now in existence. Partisan
“necessity” is the Moloch to which every
substantial interest of the people, has been
and will be remorselessly sacrified. The
friends of Grant should sne out an injunc
tion to stop Forney from publishing such
wretched trash as this to the discredit of
Grant, whether true or not
Brother Philips is hot Again.—In
his last Anti-Slavery Standard he pay
Georgia a cimplimept, find shows hov the
Constitution can be amended, if necessa-
ry:
“The amendment must not fail. We
must, if necessary swamp Deleware and In
diana by the creation of djiv States. There
is Georgia vaporing in old Southern style,
and in insolent defiance of the nation’s will.
She is not a State, having not yet been re
constructed nor readmitted. She could
easily be divided into two good size States,
and admitted when she sees her way to the
adoption of the fifteenth amendment.”
“This is no time- for maudlin sentiment. It
is a time for swords, and for going to the ex
treme verge of our constitutional power. We
say, therefore, to Congress, carve out of
rebel territory like Texas and Georgia,
enough States to ratify tbe amendment, if
events shall show it to be nesessary.

COTTON NOT TAXED.
The tin cation Settled Definitely.
To remove all doubts on this subject, so
far os they can be settled by the authority
of the Secretary of the Treasury, tbe com
mercial editor of the Memphis Avalanche
addressed a letter of inquiry to that- offi
cer, to which be received tbe following re-
ply: „
Treasury Department, ").
Office of Internal Revenue, -
Washington, January 26,1869. J
“Sir—Your letter addressed to the Sec
retary of the Treasury bas been referrd to
this office for answer. In reply I have to
say that the act of February 3d, 1868,
abolisbiogthe tax on cotton, is so clear as
to admit of no doubt as to its meaning and
effect. The language of tbe aet is,“tbat all
cotton grown in ift United States after
the year 1868 shall be exempt from internal
tax." This operates to exempt, -not only
the crop of 1868, but the crops of all suc
ceeding yean, until the act shall fee repeal
ed or modified by subsequently legislation.

Fiendish Murder.—Correspondence
of tbe Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel from
Washington, Wilkes county, gives (he pars
ticulars of a most foul assassination. He
informs that paper that a most fiendish and
horrible murder was committed about
twelve miles irom Washington,on Wednes
day night last, in the direction of Lexing
ton. As Mr. Thouuis Thaxton, a member
of the special jury, and detained as such by
the court,was returning home in Us buggy
that night, about eight o’clock, when with
in a quarter of a mile of Us house, he wa&
fired on,three balls taking effect in bis neck
and bead, and died immediately. Mr.
Thaxton was a sober, uniet and peaceable
citizen, without an euemy in the county’
eithet among black or white No clue ft
the perpetrators of this foul deed have been
discovered, though suspicion rests upon two
or thre eneuro men who had threatened the
ife of another man,and.it is thought,killed
Mr. Tba ton through mistake. It is to be
hoped no diligence will be spared in finding
out tbe parties guilty of this shocking af
fair.
LI rail Lies!! Lie*!!.
Hon. Charles Sumner, of tbe United

perfect network of lies from Georgia,and if
violent and oppressive measures are passed
reconstructing reconstruction in Geoagia,th*
bla ?e should not Test upon them,bat upon
the incarnate devils in hnman shape wbo
have gone to Washington to destroy the
future prosperity and happiness of onr peo
ple in order to promote their own wicked,
selfish and diabol cat ends. As a Grant
Republican,we loathe these monsters in hu
man shape,and hope they may perish by
the way-side, and that the State may never
again be cursed by their presence. We ad-
voe ted reconstruction from the start as a
principle, but we are not willing to assassin
ate it in order to make big men out of noth
ing. The men who would root up recon
struction an begin de novo,would do worse
if they could,aud we now brand them as

Labor Saving Soap.
Dissolve a quarter of a pound of lime in
a gallon of cold water, then take off the
clear; dissolve half a pound of sal soda in
a quart of water, and mix it with the clear
lime water. One pound of brown soap dis
solved in a gallon rf watrr is then to be
added to the clear liquor, formed with the
sal soda and lime water, and this forms soap.
This soft soap is excellent for boiling white
linen; it removes all grease that is in them,
because it contains an excess of caustic lye.
About one quart of it is sufficient for boil
ing clothes in a ten gallon wash-kettle. A
qnanty of this may bo made and kept for.
constant use.
The Tenure-of-Office Law—The Compro
mise Adopted.
• The joint committee of conference on the
late disagreement between tbe two houses
on the 1 enore-of-Office law came to a com
promise yesterday, which was adopted by
■both booses, aud 0 ly needs the President’s
signature to make it the law in his remov
als and appointments. The Senate modifi
cation of the Johnson law struck out the
section tying up the President in reference
to his Cabinet, but made his suspensions
from office during a recess of the Seqaft
subject to the consent of that body at its
next session—the s spended officer being
reinstated i the event of the Senate’s dis
approval of his suspension. The conference
report adopted provides that when the Sen
ate shall not concur in the nomination made
to supply a suspension, the President shall
nominate another person as soon as practi
cable for said office, which Is a material
change. Under the conference amendment
-he President’s removals are decisive, while
as the Senate had it they depended npon
the will of the S note.
This is an important point gained by
General Butler; but still there is an impor
tant point surrendered to the Senate. It
is in the first section of the n«N t)ill| ft-
tained from the Senate lull, which provides
that all civil officers appointed with the
conseo( of the Senate shall hold their offices
for the regular term of their appointment,
unless sooner removed with the consent of
the Senate or by a new appeintmeotapprov-
ed by the Senate. It strikes us this sec
tion still keeps in tbe Senate the wbiphaod
oyer the President in reference ft hia remo
vals, including tbe Cabinet, daring the sit
tings of Congress; while he can only reach
objectionable subordinates, in the absence
of the Senate by the half-waj remedy of
suspensioo.
General Grant ought to veto this bill and
take his stand for a clean repeal of the Ten
ure-of-Office law. Now is his time ft bring
the two houses ft b P oyn* terms. Under
tbe yielding policy the more he yields tbe
more they will demand; but by a simple
veto of this bill, with his reasons tensely
stated, be will at oace become master of the
situation. W e apprehend however that his
amiable disposition will prevail in this case,
and thus give up a fine opportunity to es
tablish his position on the old groqed f T
the sake of peace-—jV ¥■ Herald.

“ Message ut President Great
9 be-fellowing message of the Piesident
was received by Congress at four o'clock on
the 7th inst:
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
While I am aware that the time in which
Congress proposes now to remain in session
is very brief, and that it ia its desire, as far
as is consistent with the public interest, to
avoid entering upon the general business of
legislation, there is one subject which con
cerns so deeply the welfare of the country;
that I deem it my duty to bring it befoie
you. I have co donbt that you will coocnr
with me in the opinion that it is desirable
to restore the States which were engaged in
the rebell'on to their proper relations to the
Government and the country at as early a
period as the people of those States shall be’
found willing to become peaceful and or
derly communities, and to adopt all consti
tutions and laws as will; effectually secure
tbe civil and political rights of all pen on*
within their boundaries. Tbe authority of
tbe United States, which bas been vindicat
ed and established by its militaiy power,
must undoubtedly be asserted for the abso-.
late protection of all its citizens, in fall en
joyment of tbe freedom and security which
is tbe object of a republican government;
bnt whenever the people of a rebellions
State are ready to enter in good iaith upon
the accomplishment of this object, in entire
conformity with the constitutional authori
ty of Congress, it is cert ainly desirable that
all causes of irritation should be removed as
promptly as possible, that a more perfect
Union may be established, and tbe country
restored to peace and prosperity. The Con
vention of the people of Virginia, which
u.et in Richmond on Tuesday, December
3d, 1867, framed a constitution for that
State, which was adopted by the 'Conven
tion on the 17th of April, 1868, and I de
sire respectfully to call the attention of
Congress to the : propriety of providing fey
law for the holding of an election in that
State, at some time during'the months of
May or June next, under, the direction of
the military commander of the district, at
which the question of the adoption of that
Constitution shall be submitted to the citi
zens of the Statej and if it should seem de
sirable I would recommend that a separate
vote be taken upon such parts as may be
thought expedient, aod that at the same
time, and under the same -authority, there
shall be an election for the officers provided
under such Constitution, and that .the Con
stitution adopted by the people be submit
ted to Congress on tbe first Monday of De
cember next for its emsideration, so that if
thesameis then approved the necessary
stops will have been taken for tbe restora
tion of the State of Virginia to its proper
relations to the Union. I am led to make
this declaration from the confident hope and
beli.'f that the people of that State are now
rea ly to co-operate with, the national gov
ernment in bringrogit again into sueh re
lations to the Union arit ought, as soon as
possible, to establish and maintain, and to
give to all its prople those equal rights un
der the law which were asserted iu the De
claration of Independence, in the words of
one of her most illustrious sons. I desire
also to ask tbe consideration of Congress to
the question whether there, is. not just
ground for believing that tie Constitution
framed by a Convention of the people of
Mississippi for that State, and once reject
ed, might not be again submitted to her
people in like manner, and with the proba
bilities of the same result.

Washington, April 8.—Gen. Young,
representative from Georgia, informed tbe
delegation from that State to-day, that
Butler’s Georgia bill will not probably be
resumed this session, and if taken up, would
certainly be defeated.
General Sheldon from the second Loui
siana District was seated to-day.

the Third South Carolina District, was
seated. Reed, who received the majority
votes, was unable to take the test oatb.
Tbe bill authorizing the submission of
the Constitution and election of State offi
cers and members of Congress in Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas, passed by 125 to 24.
It authorizes tbe President to order elec
tions at discretion; it also authorizes him
to snbmit the entire Constitution, or sepa
rate provisions, and forbids election in Tex
as until authorized by the President. The
Commanding General . may, with the ap
proval of the President, suspend any exist
ing State ■ law in any of these States, if
deemed oppressive, nntil action is had by
tbe Legislatures which shall assemble the
fourth Tuesday after the ratification is pro
mulgated by the Commanding General.
Medicinal Herts and Roots
A correspondent of a North Carolina pa
per, writing from the town ofLenoir in that
State, says that a considerable trade has
sprang up recently in that section in medi
cinal roots and herbs. Among those most
sought after axd which bring remunerative
prices aje Poke Root, Rattle Weed, wild In
digo, wild Ratbane, Gravel Plant, Liverwort;
Star Root, Palm of Gilead Bnds,’ Indi
an Hemp, Bine Flag, Batterfiy Boot, Bit
ter Boot and Queen of the Meadows.
All. these find a ready market in Phila
delphia and other Northern markets and
considerable sums have been realized from
tbe traffic. They grow spontaneously all
through the woods and old fields and many
farmers devote their time exclusixely to
the digging and preparing them for mark-
et-
We are glad to note this new evidence of
tbe thrift and enterprise of tbe people of
the old north State, and trust that onr own
people will avail themselves also of the
handsome profits which this , branch of in
dustry offers to those who undertake it
All through this State there are untold
sources of wealth which are daily wasting
simply from the lack of the necessaryIndus
try and energy in bringing them into a
market Hundreds of the more feeble and
impeennioos of ear population wonld find
the search fer and preparation of the num-
berless valuable menicwal plants and Toots
which everywhere abound in the State, a
pleasant and remunerative employment
which, if energetically and inteUectnally
pursued, will not only enrich them bnt
prove also a valuable fine of trade and com
merce to the State.—Chron. & Sen.

Last Monday, at tbe Quaker L.mjnary,
about two miles northeast of Salem, there
was a scene enaoted that Quaker eyes were
unused to. Young men from various places
attended school, but most of them a re Radi
cals. One Pinkem is the Principal of Semi
nary.* Last Moaday two negroes applied
for and obtained admission' 1 to the school.
No sooner was it fonnd out that such was
the case than the white boys called a meet
ing and resolved thrt if the negroes remain
ed they wonld not. A committee was ap
pointed to inform Pinkem that, although
they recognized his right to teach whom he
pleased, yet if Sambo and Jim remained
they wonld not. Pinketn yielded, and the
“men and brothers” made tracks.
Our old Quaker friends look nponit, I am
told, with feelings of amazement.-—They fear
that the rising generation will not be con
trolled by tbe peculiar creed of tbe Quakers.
I give this.as one of the signs of the times,
as going to show that, whatever a radical
Congress may do, although hacked up by a
legislature who hold their seats in violation
of their solemn pledges to ths people upon
the question of suffrage, they cannot cam-
pel the whits race to intermingle with the
