Friday Morning, Feb'y 16, 1866. I I
The Negro Difficulty iu Colum
bus.
From the Columbus papers of ed
oesday we gather a few more particulars
in regard to the recent affray in that city.
The negro soldier who was shot did not
die as was reported. He was hit three
times in the arm, but no ahot struck him
in the body.
Mr. Lindsay was captured by negro
soldiers, who were only prevented from
killing him by a corporal. He was con
ducted by them for some distance, when,
it is alleged, he was rescued by the citi-
I na.
Mr. Crew, was knocked down by a
musket in the hands of a negro, though
seriously bruised, is not dangerously in*
jured.
Major Warner, who had his leg ampu
tated in consequence of a shot fired at
him from the barracks, is doing well.
A gentleman and lady were also fired at
hut without receiving any injury.
The Enquirer concludes its account es
the affair as follows :
"It is said that one or two officers of
the garrison, who had just arrived from
the east that evening, returned in the
same direction yesterday morning. What
report of the affair they may carry to
higher officers, or what recommendations
they may have to make concerning the
future garrison of this city, is not known.
It is to be hoped that they were made
acquainted with the repeated instances
in which the troops have insulted unof
fending citizens, some of them ladies, and
the indignites to which several of our
people have been causelessly subjected
since their advent.
‘‘We did not see any of the troops on
the streets yesterday; the presumption is
that they were kept within their barracks
by their officers. There was still consid
erable excitement among our citizens;
but, though all felt outraged by the con*
duct of the troops, no one entertained a
thought of resisting the authority of the
Government. They felt that the conflict
grew out of personal misconduct, which
could not be approved by white officers,
or by those in high authority.
"The City Council, at its meeting held
an hour or two after the conflict, appoint
ed a committee to investigate the facts
of the case and to lay them before the
proper officers. This committee consists
of two of the leading Union men of the
State—one of them ex-Prov. Gov. John*
son. No one can doubt that the facts
will be impartially and truthfully reported
by theDf and we believe that they will
find the circumstances such as warrant
them in earnestly requesting the substi
ta’ion of white for colored troops as the
garrison for this city.”
From the Rio Grande.

|A Terriific Scene*
We find iu the Titusuille, Pa., Her
ald, the annexed description of the ter
rific scene which occurred at Beunehoff
Run, in that State. Twelve thousand
barrels of coal oil, besides numerous
dwellings, barns, and outbuildings, all ,
on fire, at one time, must indeed have |
been a terrific spectacle. Here is the ]
account: ‘
About five o’clock in the afternoon,
while some carpenters were engaged ,
in covering a tank full of oil at the
Getty well on Bennehoff Run, sparks
from the smoke stack were being driv
en by the wind directly over where
they were working, and oue of the men
apprehensive of danger, went to notify
the superintendent of the fact, but he
had not proceeded far before the oil ig
nited. The men on top of the tank beat
a hasty retreat and escaped without in
jury, and in a few minutes the tank
burst, and an immense sheet of flame
and smoke shot up into the heavens.
As the firery stream rolled past, it
attacked everything in its course, tank
after tauk burst and all the inhabitants
of the valley rushed to the hillside to
prevent being swallowed up in a river
of liquid fire. The stream continued to
roll on until it reached within half a
mile of Petroleum Creek; here it came
in contact with a large aocunftlation
of ice and snow, which stayed its pro
gress. This, however, did not last long
as the oil forced its way through the
ice, but came out at the other side ex
tinguished, and flowed on its course un
til it emptied into oil creek. The scene
was now grand beyond description; for
nearly a mile one vast sheet of flame
shot heavenward, and the dense blach
smoke covered the whole country with
a black cloud. The sun was now sett
ing and the reflection upon that cloud
rendered it first of a dark purple, then
of a red color, and the peculiar rolling
produced an endless variety of
shade till at last it became dark and
black as before. The bright blaze of
the fire made every object distinctly
visible after, and the hillsides were at
one time so hot that an individual was
heard to remark that if the infernal re
gions were anything resembling it he
never wished to visit them.
Groups of houseless and panic-strik
en women and children were wending
their way to Petroleum Center, while
gangs of men were at work with pick
and shovel, damming the creek at vari
ous points. The noise of the splitting
rocks was like the constant roll of
musketry, and as the burning fluid fell
over the dam it produced a sharp, crack
ing sound, like the discharge of innum
erable pistols. The flames at one time
completely surrounded and played upon
the large iron tank containing 2,800
barrels or oil belonging to the Ocean
Company. Had this burse, the town of
Petroleum Center would that night have
been laid in ashes. Good fortune, how
ever, saved it. About 9 o’clock the fire
. had spent itself, and the oil not con
. sumed was on its way to the Gulf of
( Mexico.
Saving of Lecbauical Power.
The Philadelphia Press notices an in
-1 vention pattented by a citizen of Phila*
• delphia, Mr. David fEldridge. It con*
j sists in the use of an anti-friction
I wheel, or wheels, between the pullies of
. belt-gearing. The saving of power by
this simple contrivance is most wonder
’ ful, and would hardly be credited except
upon occular demonstration. Yet a
, moment’s reflection will show any one
conversant with mechanics, that the
principle is not only correct, but sus
ceptible of almost indefinite application.
The anti-friction wheels serves to trans*
1 fer the friction of the shaft from its own
f journals to the rolling surface of the
wheel, no matter how heavy the draught
of the belt may be upon the shaft, the
1 whole resistance is brought upon the
anti-friction wheel.
. Mr. Eldridge has made a practical ap
. plication of his invention to the gearing
of a portable circular saw, worked by a
treadle, and its results more than equal
the most sanguine theoretical anticipa-j
1 tions formed of it. Two public trials
of this invention, as applied to the
saw, have recently been made before
large collections of practical mechanics,
and in each instance its operation elici
ted the most enthusiastic commenda
dation. The judges at these trials deci
ded that it saved in labor in material at
the rate of from three hundred to five
hundred dollars per week over the
hand-saw.
Os course, any can see that the ap-
E dication of this invention to the circu
ar saw is only one out of innumerable
instances in which it may be applied.—
’ In mills, foundries, machine-shops, fac
tories, in short in almost all cases when
i belt-gearing is used, this invention
■ must prove of the very highest utility.
The members of the Cincinnati Relief
Union, embracing some fifty 'of our
leading citizens, have petitioned
the Ohio Legislature to pass an act au
thorizing municipal and county courts to
rescue the children of drunken parents
from the neglect, ignorance, and vice
in which they are growing up, and to
place them under the control of orphan
asylums, children’s homes, houses of
refuge, etc., for proper training, until
of an age to take care of themselves.
This the Legislature is asked to do in
view of the fact that the vice and crime
against which society has to protect
itself, at great expense, grows out of
such neglected children. They also ask
for legislation making it lawful to im
prison confirmed drunkards in work
shops or other reformatory institutions.

Twenty-Seven Children Drowned.
—The Dayton (O.) Journal of Friday
says: The engineer on lhe Dayton and
Michigan Road yesterday learned, at
Waupakoneta, that twenty-seven chil
dren were drowned in the reservoir at

ble calamity occurred.
SELECTED TELEGRAMS'
Washington, Feb. 13.—Recent, re
turns to the Government Land Office,
show tha; at Detroit 5,587 acres were
taken up in the month of January—a
portion under the provisions of the home
stead law, a part consisting of the cash |
sale of laud, and the residue of county I
land warrants. At LaCrosse, Wiscon- j
sin, 3,688 acres were entered in law for j
actual settlement. At Marysville, Cali- j
fornia the cash land sales for December, 1
amounted to 83,007, aud at Oregon city, ,
Oregon, 2, 931 acres were taken for actu
al settlement under the homestead law
in the same month.
A swindle concocted by a partner of
a New Yorker, was yesterday exposed
by Washington detectives The party
called at the police station recently, rep
resenting that his firm had been robbed
of 812,000 in United States bonds, and
that he believed the criminal parties
were in this city. After a brief investi
gation the detectives concluded they
were being misled, and telegraphed for
the other member of the firm, who duly
arrived iu town, and was confronted
with the complainant, whom he charged
with the abstraction of the missing bonds.
The result was the production by the 1
artful dodger, of 7,000 dollars of the i
Stolen property. f
During the week ending the 10th ult., <
the disbursements at the Treasury De* i
partment amounted to 84,407,982,37. I ’
During the same period the Department i
issued certificates of indebtedness 1
amounting to §510,000, and redaAud ■
old ones to the amount of §3,000. The i
receipts from internal revenue last week i
amounted to the large sum of §4,774,-
115,05.
The total National Bank currency is
sued last week was $1,756,850. The
total issued up to date is §3,116,380,
New York, Feb 14, —The Tribune’s
Washington special says : The United
States Minister to England, Chas. F.
Adams, will probably return home. It
is supposed his place will be filled by
Mr. Malley, now Minister to Vienna.
Either of; these vacancies would probably
be filled by Gov. Curtin.
The Tribune’s special says : Great
indignation is felt among the parishion*
ers of Dr. Tutherland’s church, in
Washington, because the Trustees con
sented to the use of the edifice for the
lecture of Fred. Douglas.
The Post’s special says the Ways and
Means Committee is considering the tax
on whisky and cotton and the income
tax. Report will be made very soon on
these points.
The Freedmen’s Bureau bill, having
passed the Senate and House, will be
sent to the President to-day.
The friends of Mr. Van Dick here are
very certain he will be appointed Collec
tor of New York within a few days.
Washington, Feb. 13.—Senate—
Mi- Morgan, of N. Y., presented the
credentials of Mr. L. E. Parsons, sena
tor elect from Alabama. Mr. Morgan
said : As the State of Alabama is one of
the States that during the period of four
years war, has been in rebellion against
the United States, and as Congress has
not determined whether the political
condition of that State is such as to en
title the State to representation ir. the
■ Senate; Ido not expect that Gov. Par*
sons will be requested to come forward
and take the oath at this term, and I
would ask that the credentials be read
and laid upon the table, to await the fur*
ther action of the Senate. It was so or
dered.
Mr. Wade, of Ohio, offered the’ peti
tion of colored soldiers asking the
of suffrage.
Mr. Saulsbury said the Senate and the
country were very familiar with this
word “colored” as applied to the negro
v race. He would like to know what au
thority there was for the use of that
word. The only place he had ever seen
it iu history so applied was in the his
tory of St. Domingo, where it was used
to denote mulattoes.
Mr. Fessenden, from the Committee
on Reconstruction, reported a joint resos
lution to amend the constitution with a
constitutional article as follows: That
Congress shall have the power to make
all laws necessary and proper to secure to
i. all the citizens of each State the privi*
leges and immunities of the citizens of
the several States, and all persons of the
several States equal protection in the
rights of life, liberty and property.
The resolution was o dered to bejirint.
ed.
Washington, Feb. 13.—House—Mr.
Whaley, of W est Virginia, offered a
resolution re affirming the Monroe doc
trine and requesting the President to
take steps for entering into alliances
with all republics on tin's continent to
resist French encroachmeats, which was
referred to the Committee on Foreign
A flairs.
( Mr. Smith, of Kentucky, moved that
James N. Johnson, claiming a seat
from Arkansas, be allowed the privi
ges of the ball.
I Pending the consideration of the
ease, Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania,said
it was monstrous to thus admit men as
members from defunct States.
Mr. Smith repudiated that idea, deny
ing that the Southern States were de*
funct.
Mr. Kasson, of lowa, advocated the ad
mission of Air. Johnson.
Mr. Whaley, of West Virginia, sub
mitted the following preamble and res
olution, viz: Whereas, this House, at its
last session, interpreting the sentiments
of the American people, passed a reso
lution endorsing the traditional policy
of the Government towards the repul «
lies of thia continent, and reprobating
in unmistakable language, the erection
of a monarchy upon the ruins of the
neighboring repuMic of Mexico; and,
whereas, the flagrant infraction of this
American continental nolicy occurred
while this nation was in conflict for its
own unity, which conflict has now hap
pily ended, therefore,
Resolved, Ist, That this House do
hereby reaffirm the resolution of the
last session, and declaie that the estab
lishment of a political protectorate by
France in behalf of an Austrian
over the Republic of Mexico, and the
introduction of a scheme of policy
which carries wi h it right to interfere
in our own as well as the affairs of all
the republics of this continent, is a
measure to which this country can never
submit, and which should be resisted by
all the means in our power.
Resolved 2d. That, to the end of mak
ing good this resolution, the President |
solicits the alliance of the Republics of
this continent and use all the means in
their power against such aggressions.
Mr. Whaley demanded the previous |
question, but the House by a vote of 13 | 1
to 95 refused to second it. ,
On motion ol Mr. Banks, the resolu- 1
tions wore referred to lhe Committee
on Foreign Relations.
[Special Dispatch to the Freaa an I Timer
Knoxville, Feb. 13.—At a snlo of
government property here to-day, Lieut, i
Col. Dyer, late of the First Tennessee
Cavalry, was shot through the heart by
a negro soldier. The Colonel had pur
chased some article* at the sale, and on
going to pay for them, was ordered to
stand back, and simultaneously shot.
Soon after a large crowd gathered in
front of the military headquarters and
demanded the person of the negro sol
dier.
After finding him the crowd hung
him to the branch of a tree until dead.
The greatest excitement prevailed.
Chicago.—The Chicago Republican
of February sth, reports as "another
mystery:”
"At an early hour yesterday morning
officer Prince, of the Third Precinct Po
lice, discovered two human arms lying
upon the platform of the freight depot
of the Galena and Chicago Union rail
road, just below State street bridge.’’
On which occasion the Cincinnati
Commercial comments:
“There is no mystery about it. Those
limbs were undoubtedly ejected from a
hydrant, and then blcwn about by the
wind until found. It is only a short
time since Chicago was startled by the
discovery (we quote the Times') of dis
membered portions of th< human body,
which ware picked up in broad daylight,
in the most crowded thoroughfares of
that charming city. Discoveries of
this sort—fragments of bodies in the
streets, aud thumbs and fingers spirting
out of the water pipes—however, no
longer startle, or create even a ripple of
excitement. The citizens think no more
of picking up an estray index finger, or
an unclaimed big toe, than they would
of finding a cast horseshoe, or a truant
hairpin. The limes speaks of finding
‘a pair of fingers’ lying about loose as
‘a insignificant affair,’ but it is of opin
ion that the finding of a bundle contain
ing ‘two human arms,’ freshly dismem
bered, ‘the hands turned up to the
shoulder,’ the whole tied up in a mosqui
to netting (which it says happened the
other day) is well calculated to cause
an exclamation of horror to rise to the
lips.
If all this is true, Chicago must be a
“deadly lively” sort of place.
Manufacturing Statistics.—The fol
lowing statistics are gathered from a state
ment of the manufactures in the United
States, recently sent to Congress by the
Secretary of the Interior:
Louisville is the twelfth city in the
Union in population and manufactures.
In manufactures there are 5,869 males
and 990 females employed. The amount
of capital engaged is §4,66;7,588, and the
yearly value of the products §12,933,*
092.
G’incinnati is the seventh city in popu
lation and the third in manufactures.—
Male bands engaged in manufactures,
23,192; females 6,309. Capital employ*
ed $17,885, 735 ; value of products 46,*
436’648.
St. Louis is the eighth city in popula
tion, and the seventh in manufactures.
Male hands engaged 8,645 —female 707.
Capital emploped §9,205,205, value of
products §21,772,32 3.
Nashville is the sixty-seventh city in
manufactures. Male hands employed I,*
176 —females 68. Capital employed
$1,454,00 —value of products §1,857,590.
Canada and the Reciprocity Treaty.
* The Montreal and Toronto papers ex
press satisfaction that the provincial
delegates have not accepted the terms
proposed for the continuation of the
reciprocity treaty. One paper, the
Globe, says: One happy result of the
course adopted by the United States
will be the speedy confederation of the
Br’tish American provinces, the abso
lute necessity of which will be now ap
parent. With consideration will be
carried out the improvement of internal
communications aud throwing open
lands to free settlement and the gradu
al reduction of the customs tariff, open
ing new markets, tne vigorous prosecu
tion of the fishery and mineral entei
prise, the opening up of the northwest,
the commencement of an enlarged sys
tem of emigration westward, and a re
vision of the system of banking and
currency. The people of British Amer
ca need not doubt that brighter pros:
pects in the future are before them.
A Probable Ink Mine—The Cali
fornia Zayrexs mentions something new
It states that a gentleman recently ar*
rived at Los Angelos from thejvicinity of
Buena Vista Lake and the oil springs
there, having in his possession a bottle
containing “a mineral substance very
much resembling crude petroleum, but
without any smell, and possessing all
the qualities of a fine black writing
fluid.”

CEDRON BITTERS.
f The Latest and Most Important
i DISCOVERY
I
OF THK
MIMETEEMTU CESTEBY!! I
No name Is mors Ultimately cimnccted wltti the
history < f MATERIA MEDICA of the •ft'*’’“ r
more favorably known as a pioneer in Medical Dlscove
ry, than that of
John Bull, of Louisville, Kentucky.
His Inimitable preparation Cf S»r»ap»rlll«, has
long stood at the bead of the various compounds of that
valuable drug.
V
His Compound of Wild Cherry has be
come a household word
throughout the
West
, His Worm Losen-
ges, in less than a year
after their introduction, attained a
t
Reputation as wide spread as the continent of North
America. But the crowuingg'ury of his life remains to
be attained in bii discovery, ur rather combination, for
be does not claim to have been the discover es CKD*
RON, which is the basis of the Bitters now offered to
the public. That honor belongs to tbe native inhabl -
tanta of Central America, tn whom ns virtues have been
known for more tuan two hundred yvars. Armed with
it the Ind‘an bids a* fiance’’to the most deadly maiarH
and handles, without fear, the m<>st venomous serpents.
]t Is a belief with ibt-m, that while there is breath in tbe
body, tbe Cedron is potent to cure, no matter wbat tbe
case may be.
While Dr. Bull is not prepared to endorse this extrava
gant pretension, he is nevertheless satisfied from a
thorough examination of the evuiecce relating to its
“ virtues, that as a remedy and preventative for al! ds
oases arising from exposure, either to change of weather
or climate, or to miasmatic influences 9 it stands
‘W'ltla.oTi.t a rival I
And justly deserves the reputation it
has in Central America
and tho Wwk Indios.
IN DYSPEPSIA.
And its attendant train of symptoms it acts more Elite
a Charm than a medicine, ahsre is nothing in the
whole range oi Materia Medea that can fora moment
bear a comparison with it in this diseasi.
A full account of this wonderlul plant rnay be found in
tbe 11th edition of the United S ates Diepensitory, pages
1387 and 1888.
A series 01 experiments in which Dr. Bull has been for
years engaged, has just been br ugbl to a successful
termination, and he is now enabled to off jr the public a
•ombinatiun of Cedron with other approved tonics,
the whole preserved in the best quality ot copper distill
ed B mrbon Wnisky, which he is confident has no equal
, in tne world.
- He might furnish a volume ot certificates, but lhe
public have long since learned to estimate such things
by their true value. The safest plan is, for everyone
l to test lor himself tbe virtues of u new medicine.
