Twelve thousand Africans have left the United States and carrried with them Amsrican law, literature, and Christianity, and reproduced them in the land of their fathers. Thia is a hopeful aign. The black race in this •ountry owe a duty to their fatherland. Their ancestors were brought hither and placed in bondage, by a wise dis p naation of Providence,that they might learn civilization and Christianity. Let the present generation now go out as emigrants from the United ■States, un der the auspices of the American Col onization Society, to the shores of heathen Africa and re-create there free institutions and a nation modeled after our own. Who will aay but that the whole system of negro slavery in this country, and its tragic termination, was not a scheme of the Almighty to civilixe and christanize the black man? Th* Legislature of our neighbor State, Tennessee, noted for its radical sentiment and indifferent material, is •bout to give way under its own weight. Nine resignations took place in one day, the 26th, making fifteen in all. For two days there had been no quorum, con sequently the franchise bill could not pass. The radical members propose to declare themsdves a quorum and to go on with the proceedings. That would be the fitting end of a Legislature which never represented its constituency, and which has violated every parliamentary usage, as well as every article of the State Constitution. No one, familiar with the element now in power at Nashville, can be surprised at this re sult. When the wicked rule the State must mourn. Extreme men are iu pow er there. The people will it differently, •nd they should delay execution no lon g®r- The present attitude of the Romish Church in antagonism to the Fenians, way take a direction that few have con templated. It leaves Irishmen to choose between their ancient religious faith, and the cherished object of the Fenian movement; which is the independence of their country. This may or may not restilt in a revolution. The Roman Cnurch denounced the Ftench Revolu* tion. The result was to suspend the au thority of the Pope in France, never to be fully restored. The attitude of the Church of England toward the Wes* leys, organized an opposition to the es tablished Church which came nigh over throwing it The Irish are now, to all appearances, deeply in earnest, ably di rected, and her ancient enemy some what weak and distracted. The result is not easily foretold. Things are taking a sad turn in East Tennessee. Indeed they have been sad for some time, but theyVnay become worse. All the good citizens have either left or are preparing to abandon that section te the rabble and the negro. It promises to become a desolate waste, possessing the finest lands, minerals and climate in North America. A recent letter from a reliable source in that section, says : “You can safely notify your patrons that a crisis is impending in East Ten nessee. If they have newlv made bills, (unless on old, nodoubted houses, they will do well to look after them. Even real estate at sheriffs sales here will not bring one-fourth its real value.” The Queen’s speech, delivered at the opening of the English Parliament on the 6lh, is being republished in Some o the Northern periodicals. It is charac terized by the usual insipidity which pervade her political efforts. The English reporters state that she wore a black— some say a deep purple velvet-robe, which looked intensely black io the dim light of the Chamber, trimmed with white min iver, and a white lace eap. Around her neck she wore a collar of brilliants, and •ver her breast the blue ribbon of the Order of the Garter. Her dress evidently attracted more attention than her speech, as is usual on such occasions. The action of the Radical Congress in expelling Hon. D. W. Voorhees of In diana, is wholly indefensible. There was no show of right or justice in the claim •et up by his competitor. Mr. Voorhees was a conservative, administration man. He was therefore a bad political sinner- He was able and fearless. Hence the Radicals feared him. He was a thorn io their sides, and a stay to Andrew John •on. Therefore they expelled him. The people of the hootier State will reverse the ir.iquitious judgment at the election, in September next. A few days since as the ferry boat was crossing the river at Columbus, Ga., the fvrrymau lost his hold upon the rope and the boat floated down over the falls below. The passengers were rescued by some bye who had skiffs conveniently by ; but the horse and carriage were swept over the falls. Strange to sav the horse Was not killed. They have a Horne Iniuranoe Com pa np in Louisville,Ky. It was chartered by the Legislature last winter, and is said to be doing a swimming business. It was .. chattered tsol*-'” * * The Turning Point. Seward and Raymond, the brains of the old Republican party, have both de clared unequivocally for the Administra tion. Beecher, the head and heart of the politico-religious party, is equally com mitted to the President’s policy. Thiity seven of the original Republicans in Congress have acted in concert with the President on the Freedmen’s Bureau Bill. The War Democrats and the copperheads meet and embrace upon the Executive platform. The South is a unit for An drew Johnson and the Constitution.— The people of every section are holding mass meetings to sustain the President. Under these circumstances, it is natural that the Radicals should give expression to feelings of mingled hatred and alarm They realize that their power is depart ing. The indications are unmistakable. If two extreme and rival parties inaugu rated war, contrary to the wishes of a majority of the people, the dominant fac tion will not be permitted to continue the contest after its antagonist has made a anal surrender. The people of this country are beginnii g to realize the ne cessity of placing none but moderate and conservative men in power. They are tired of civil strife, and of political scram bles for place. They are tired of being held at the mercy of mere politicians.— This is not a politician’s government. — The Jacobin faction is to be hurled from positions they have so long disgraced.— Andrew Johnson has founded anew party upon the ruins of three old ones, the ob ject of which is to restore the Republic to i's integrity and prosperity. It will succeed. It is believed that Congress, seeing the importance of a Southern connection with the Pacific railroad, will provide for a railroad byway of Levenworth, Lawrence and Fort Gibson, through the Indian Territory. A «on of United States Senator Trum bull was instantly killed on the 20th at the Chicago stock yard. An accident occurred tea lacomotive on which he was riding, by which he was crushed to death. Henry Ward Beecher on the Veto. The man of all others in the United States whom we had expected to be the last to approve of the President’s veto, was among the first. Henry Ward Beecher delivered a lecture in Brooklyn on Tuesday evening last, in which he thus spoke: ‘‘There is a Freedmen’s Bureau.— There was in Congress a bill for the more efficient organization of it. All men’s hearts have been to-day excited by the tidings that that Freedmen’s Bu reau bill has been vetoed by the Presi dent. (Some hisses.) I am sorry that he felt it to be his duty to veto it, and lam sorry that theblH was so drawn that he was obliged to feel it to be his du ty to veto it. But, mark! this is not vetoing a bureau, nor an amended or re organized bureau, but only that particu lar form of bureau which that bill con tained. It does not commit the Presi dent against any proper department ad ministering to the blacks throughui.t the South. We know, on the other hand, that he is in favor of such a bu reau. And I confess that on reading his message it has left a profound im pression upon my mind that he urges most serious and weighty reasons why, in the form in which it went before him, it should not have become the law of the laud. But I believe and am sure that no man in this land is more in fa vor of some legislation that shall amount to an efficient protection for the black man than President Johnson him self. (Applause.) Men who have knowledge of the freedmen may be warped by their sympathy and by their generous sentiments so as not well o consider that while legislating to save the freedmen it may be at the expense of those laws and those instruments in which his very safety itself resides; and if they are carried past the point of moderation, it is welt there should be op portunity for reconsideration.'’ The words in italics are a clear expres sion of Beecher’s opinion that the bill was very objectionable. We feel confi dent from this and other indicatinos that the President will secure the support of two-thirds of thr people even of the North on this issue between himself and the Radicals. Again, says Mr Beecher: “Do you suppose that you will always have a President like Mr. Johnson ? But lam mistaken in my judgment if there has,since the earliest and bestdays of our presidency, been a man more hon est, more single-minded for liberty, who, without bias of the feelings or of the heart, without bias of any kind, endeav ored to do that which he thought best for the interests of the country, and the whole country. [Applause ] Not an other man. “I hold it would be better that the States should be brought into the Umon to-morrow : every one <f them. And iu this regard allow me to say that I can* not go with cither the President or Con gress. I would bring them all in at once; they mean to keep them all out at once. [Laughter.] They would let in a part, and let the rest wsit and see how they would like it.” Beechsr is a representative man. He speaks the thoughts of the property-hold ers of the North. All up in J SOT. Dr. Cumming’s prediction that the world will come to grief in 1867, is ir reverently comment d upon by the Au gusta Constitutionalist; it says : “We are firm y jiru d d that ting will prove to be a ‘a great cry and little wool;’ for shavo the pig-headed world as you may,bristles alone fall into the apron of the inspired barber. All this raving about the end of the world is mere bosh •nd indigestion. A bad Hom mb is the origin of a vast deal of the lugubrious re '"••on of our fellow creatures, and Dr. well either to go to a “n’uary com ■"nwiou Henry S. Foote** Book—Curious Scjl'l'CtN. The appearance of a history of the war by Henry S. Foote has been an nounced. The following extract will.be read with interest: Just about the time that I was la boring most assidu >usly to relieve the department of war of Mr. Benjamin, by calling forth, as far as it might be in my power to do so, co-operative responses from the people, an < ccurrence took place in social life in Richmond which liad much elf et, not o ly upon the fate of Mr. Benjamin, b it. which, in the se quel, had much influe, enoe also up n the course of public eve..ts. I chanced to be invited to a dinner-party, where some twenty of the most prominent members of the two Imuses of the Con federate Congress we e eongrega e I, i ■ eluding the speaker ot tin- House ol rep reseutut ves, Mr. Or , of S mth Caroline, and oihers of equal rank. General Joseph E. Johnston was also an invited guest. While the banquet was proceed ing, Mr. Beniamin’s gr. ss acts of official misconduct becoming the subject of conversation, one of the company tinned to General Johnston, and inquired whether he thought ii even possible that the Confederate cause c uld sucee d with Mr Benjamin as war minister. To this inquiry, General Johnstm , after a I little pause, emphatically responded in | the negative. Tins high authority was ! immediately cited in both Houses of Congress against Mr. Benjamin, and was iu the end fatal to his hopes of re maining in the depaitmeut of war. Air Davis, after deferring the sending in of bis nomination for cabinet appoint ments, under the permanent constitution for nearly four weeks, in order to have it in his power io p. rsuade the Senate to confirm Mr. Benjamin as Secretary of War, iu the event of his being re-nomi na ei. ultimately reli quished this object in de? pair—that, bodv, however accmn modating itself in general to executive fancies, having been found unwill ng to participate it the terrible r. sponsibil.ty of sucii au act. Mr Benjamin was final ly nominated for the Department of State, and was confirmed, by a very small majority, or that pl ace, where he had it in bis power, both abroad and at home, to perpetiate more barefaced acts of corruption and profligacy than any sin gle individual bis ever been known to commit in the same space of time in any part of Christendom. I wII here re mark, in pissing, that this frank and manly declaration of General Johnston rendered both Mr. Davis and Mr. Bee jamin alike hostile to him, and he was fated to experience the <ffct of their malevolence on more t han one subsequent occas ou previous to his ultimate depri vation of military command. Very gv at mischief notoriously result ed to the confeder. te cause from the long retention in the office of commissary general of Col. Nmttirop. This person is umiers’ood to be a native ot South Carolina, and had spent several years in the city of Chat les: on, anterior to the war, as a practitioner of medicine upon tho vegetarian system. Some mysterious circumstances, not heretofore explained, and in some way. many years previous to the commencement of the war, estab lished relations of special amity and con fidence between himself and Mr. Davis, in consideration of which he had been located in an < ffleial position for which he was in every way as utterly unfit as any human b?itig could be well imagined to be His appe .rance was most unpre possessing indeed ; his manners were coarse, overboaring and insulting; Lis temper austere crabbed and irritating; he was utterly ignorant of the duties of the post a-s gned him, and was not at all i solicitous t> ml)ke liin > If acquainted wi h them. His self-esteem was the most inordinate that I have ever known any human b ing to p ssess, and no man at all capable of judging of such a matter would have regarded him as in all res pects compos mentis. A general impression had long prevail ed in Charleston that he was, in point of fact, more or less disordered in mind; and dur.ng the three years that 1 occup.ed a scat in the confederate congress, I receiv ed numerous b-tieis in m citizens of the high st respectability residing there, urg ing me, in the wannest terms, to aid iu displacing him t orn the position which he was so signally d sg acing. I am not p epared to assert anything in regard to his pecuniary honest q but it is undoubtedly true ihat all over the confederate Staes he had been employed to purchase supplies for his depaitmeut of notoriously bad characters, not a small number of whom are known to have ac cumulated large fortunes during the war, tiie names of some, of whom I could, were it necessary, quite easily specify, having brought the.r iniqu ties heretofore to the view of the confederate congress. The heartless tyranny practised by this monster of iniquity in all the States of the South, iu connection wi h the system of fonine impressment established, has, I am persuaded, scarcely ever been equall ed. His brutal indifference to the suffer ings of confederate soldiery, by all of wuom he was most cordially detested; h.s indecmt and bab tual disregard of the requisitions made upon his depart merit, from time to time, by the various military commanders with whom he was nee<ssanly thrown into contact; his open and notorious employment of disrespect ful and conn m -tiious language in regard to those in official stations to whom he was legally suboidinate, are mattersupon wh ch it would be now superfluous to dwell. Yet he was retained in the Commissary Department for four years, in utter con tempt of remonstrance-, of complaint, and of direct and po-itive accusations of de linquency. It is even true that Mr. N‘ rthr p was not a constitutional officer; after the commencement of the perma nent confederate government, he was never nominated to the Semite. But, though this matter was brought to Mr. Davis’s special notice by grave proceed ings in both Houses of Congress, he s ill hi I<l on to North.op, nor did he ever deign to present his name to the Senate f>r the sanction of that body up to the latest moment of his own official exist ence. The President Won’t See Forney.— lt seems too plain for argument that this officer (Secretary of the Senate) should enjoy tie personal esteem of the Presi dent, or, to reduce the question to its lowest issue, that his violent, unseemly and slanderous animadversion upon the latter, personally and officially, through public journals, his own property, as well as in unreserved conversation, should not be a mutter of vulgar notoriety.— National lideltigenceripjjicial.)

J .dm H Gee, formerly Confedcratu Commandant of the Saulsbury prison, N. ; ' C , was begun iu Raleigh on the 21st. — I 1 lint substa ice of the charges and speci* 1 fictitious are as lolows: The first charge ’ is u violation ot t le laws and customs of war. i lie first specification seis forth I at length the official position nf Gee, as j a Maj. r in th ■ reb' I army, and in charge ol the prism at Saulsuury, where t< n thousand prisoners were confined who j w*re entitled to g ,od treitment, but Le left them in a condition of ext: cine want •nd Miff ring, and did Wilfully and ma liciously, and in violation of the laws of ! civilized warhire, fad to pr.aide them j witii shelter, food, clothing, fuel or med ical attention. Tnis caused deaths to the number nt 1,2i)0 a month from disease, starvation ami exposure,for winch wrongs Gee is ace untable. The second specification se's forth j that while the prig iners at Saulsbury | were sta'vi ng sick ami dying, and sun- j dry citizens offered b> rel eve io s me de g ee their wants, Gee did c avardly, and tn violation ot the rules of civibzod war fare, prevent siid citizens from exercis ing deeds of charity ami kindness. The second charge is murder, in vio lation of the rules of war. The list I specification seis forth that when there : was a slight disturbance in the prison, caus 'd by starvation, in which (only a small number of the prisoners participa ted, Gi-e, in violation of the laws of civ ilized wait ire, ordered the entire prison guard to fire upon the mass of prisoner* indiscriminately, and further ordered two pieces of artillery, one Io ided with scrap iron and one load dw th shell,to tire up on the mass of prisoners, by which ten. who were sleepiinr in their t<‘t)ts, were wound' d,and some died of thei • wounds. The seen specification sets forth that Gee did maliciously order a guard to fire at and kill Lieut. John Dana, of the 135th New York.

A la g j number of witnesses are pres ent for ttie defense. Great interest is felt in the trial. The friends ot Major Gee claim that he is not responsible for bis official conduct. They plead that by the terms of cpiti.lr ion agreed upon by Sherman and Johnston, and the pa role granted to the officers and soldiers who surrendered under Gen. Johnston, that tho United States, by its accredited agents, pledged its faith that these offi cers and soldiers shall not be molested so long as they comply with the terms of their parole.

The P thole Record of 8 turilaj |ha tbe following additional details of the rematkable surface oil strikes in the city, brought to light during the late fire , there: “The oil-wi.ll excitement still contin ues, anti the presence of the oil has I been found ou nearly all the side of the lull above Il.dmden street, and there are numlu rlcss springs which are yield ing oil freely. People fr m all parts of the oil regions are beginning to arrive i for 'he purpo.-e of seeing these 11 iwing j oil springs, which are considered by all I to be one of the greatest curiosities yet ■ seen even here, where our wells flow forth freely from one hundred to one thousand five hundred barrels per day. To see a c< innion wooden pump bringing forth its full volume of oil, worth three dollars and fifty cen's per barrel, convinces u.s that there is more I money to be made in Pitho e than any where in the oil regions. The wh.de ground seems saturated with oil. One man dug a hole in the ground about a foot deep, and in a few minutes got a paihul of oil for his trouble. The ground is now being riddled with shal low holes, iu wh ch large quantities of oil ooze up, and the scene forcibly re* minds us of gold digging. Mr. L. 1.. Hill’s well pumped out twenty-five bar rels of oil in fifteen h >urs, and lie is now erecting a tank for its reception. At one of the springs belonging to the Buffalo House, the proprietor had gath ered four barrels of oil with a tin d:p- I per, and there are many others who have been equally fortunate. I Oil was found in a great many cellars yesterday. Mr. Bernard Alma tan tilled a large wash tub with oil from his wa- let pipe. At the first discovery of the wells, the excitement to increase, and a mt n who had beard nf the various fractions u-ed in the nil trade, "fferi'd to pump all day furj.ine-thirty-seveiith of the oil ; others were more selfish, for they would pump all the time, but wanted halt the oil, and were willing to take the washer woman into the bargain. An Irishman, who had a small spring, was highly elated the turn fortune was taking ; said he, “Yisteaday I wasn’t worth a cint, and, be jabbers, to-day I’m worth me thousands upon thousands. ’ Curious and interesting phenomena in the Pennsylvania oil region, briefly no ticed in ti legraploc di-pa ebes a few days ago, are thus rep »rted by a correspondent of the Meadvil e Republican : “Ilavitij heard so much in the last few days about the burning oil well, a pirty of us started last evening (Februa ry 7) for the well. Taking the ice ou one ol the small ravines winch are so nu merous along the banks of the Allegha ny, we, after reaching the mouth of East Sandy creek, which empties into the AL leg any seven miles below Franklin, again took to ti e road, and after walk ing and riding ab>nt five miles further, came to Mayer’s Hotel, whence we stifl ed loot io the great burning well, which is nearly two miles from tl e hotel,down by the steepest and narr west path that can be imamued until we reached the flat lands, or hot om ; and afer going through a shmt piece of woo s. a most mag iificent sight met our g izc ’’ imagine a -p ice of p -i haps forty feet square -sending up a solid sheet of flame nearly sixty feet in height. It lights up the country for miles around, so that one can see to read a newspaper at a dis tance of four or five miles. The heat of the fire has started veget ition to growing, and grass can be plucked there as green as that found in summer time. The well is owned by parties in Rochester, N. Y., and was struck some four weeks ago. It commenced flowing oil and water with a very strong force of gas, and the owners were confident that they had a good well ; but two weeks ago last n'ght, the men going to supper, the well took fire, it is supposed, from the engine, and has been burning ever since. The flame, when first discovered, was coining out of the driving pipe, and was not more than three or four feet iu diam eter ; but after burning two or three days the driving pipe was melted off two or three feet, and thus allowing the gas and oil to separate before reaching the top, spread over a sunace of thirty or forty feet square. It has burned ever since with no cessation. Sometimes the ii ones will reach to a height of one bundled fat, and livening the tr-"es which crown the summits of the surrounding hills, and the reflections against the sky produce an i ffect which no pen can describe oi pencil do justice to. Is this inflammable article to bring I about the laiter end of the world ? Tile President’s Position. The Chicago Evening Journal, of Fri-> day last, publishes the following, with studied conspicuity, and, as it declares, by “authority :” ' “A friend of the President called up on him the other day, and, in the course of an earnest conversation, Mr. Johnson declared that, he is a Republican, believs believes iu the spirit and principles of that party, and intends to adhere to the Union pirty organization that, nominated him at.
