Carroll County.—By rile jmM-mllnga of a meeting held at Carrollton on the 4th, .And which wo lay Isdorc our readers tM* morning, it will bo seen that the people of --old Carroir are moving In the right di rection. Igitorliigall past party predilec tion*. they are Working with an eye single to Reconstruction, and have made their nominations liccdfdlngly. IAjt the frtenfl* 4>f Reconstruction In other eoutitle* follow tlw example thus set, and tlfr result cannot fie doubtful. tiii’iACHYfKNT—>'l7ie Probable Programme. The administration organs In Washington and elsewhere are on the rampage over the propositions broached in the late dispatches »* the New York Times for the passage of .a hill providing for the suspension of all .Federal officer* during trials under Im peachment charges, whleli they Haim will result In the punishment of the President before his conviction. In connection with This matter, says a Washington letter. It will he Interesting to know that several prominent mem tiers of Congress have ad vanced the opinion that immediately fol- | lowing the presentation to the Senate of ar ticle* of lm|N>nehnieiit by the House, the President would lie placed In the same con dition ns a man Indicted hv n grand jury for any crime or misdemeanor* and its a iiiituml sequence would be virtually under arrest or lit the custody of the ollleers of the House. They claim that the passage of a Mil of the uature aliove mentioned is not necessary, as the logical result, of iutitcach- luent would be the suspension of the ofll- rcr impeached pending Ids trial by the Sen ate. They also argue that the President^!n suspending Secretary Stanton, although he acted ostensibly under the provisions of the Tenure of Office Bill, lists established a precedent w hich the House can consist- ently follow, as they insist that if the Sen ate refuses to •tiHtttin the removal of Stan ton lie will be restored to the War Office, and that if the Senate refttso to tind Mr. Johnson guilty of high crime* and misde meanors under the articles of impeachment presented by the House. If they are pre sented. lie would 1h? restored to his office. There Is no douht hut what these views on ibis subject will he submitted early during Hie coming session, and may exert con siderable influence on the passage of the MU providing for such suspensions. Miw. Lincoln's Waudroiik.—Mr*.

Good Ai>VICK.—The Richmond Whig asserts that a strong tide of Northern em igration l* now enriching Virginia, and that it isaeeompliftldng great benefits for the planter*, who have "too niucli land and too little money.** The Whig wisely adds: If wo treat new settlers kindly, and if we secure restoration and tranquility by going through the reconstruction process with out delay or disturbance, w« may at once licgintorcAp the bonetltf of an hiimcnso emigration, with all the capital, skill, en terprise anil development that will accom pany It. If we pursue an opposite policy we must linger on Indefinitely in poverty, weakness and stagnation, ami to accomplish by indirection what he has failed to secure tty legitimate political warfare. The Democratic leaders of the North, knowing full well that the conse quence* of this protracted and fruitless quarrel cannot, by any possibility, make their condition morn liopele**, hut that, all the 111* Incurred by It must fall almost ex clusively upon the heads of the Southern people, have allied tlictnodve* with the President, and seek every mean* for the de feat of Reconstruction. I* it n«*t singular that, with the experi ence i,f J.SiJJ yet fresh h; our memories, we should longer continue in a mood to be deceived and betrayed into litter ruin by this party ? Who docs not know that, but for the |Mipiilar belief in the South, In 18C1, that the Northern Democrat* would re main true to their pledge*, and thus be come allies of the Gulf States in a contest for State Sovereignly, we would never have seceded and taken up arm* against the General Government ? Who does not know that this very party, which encouraged us to go Into rebellion, acted treacherously with u*. and piisilianiuioiisly toward the Union party? And who doc* not know that, to-day, among the ranks of the Dem ocratic party, there Js a feeling of selfish 1 mliflercnee toward the South ami the Southern people ? If Democratic leaders can flutter and hoodwink us into their ser vice, ami thus use us as pliant Instruments in the work of reinstating tin: in selves, they w ill have gained their point, and wo may go to the duee. ii* wo did in 1801. If their -elieme should Jill!, they id11 have lost noth- ioij; thin poor South must receive the *Lripe* provoked by their cupidity, whilst they who originated the mischief, ami now to keep up the strife, would be unmolested. THE PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION. The event* of this day. In Pennsylvania, w ill do much to determine the future of the Southern States. The Restoration of the Union 1* the lending question of the day.- A Democratic victory in Pennsylvania would not. in all probability, defeat Re construction; Imt it would encourage Mr. Johnson - hi the work of resurrecting Ills ••policy.** lb* would drag it liefore the INHiplc. and limmic emlmldcned to play a desjieratc game for supremacy. Tills would l»e misinterpreted by many who are now disposed to accept the situation, whilst it would confirm tho obstinate, and thus conspire, not to defeat. Imt defer und pro long the work of restoration. It would Ikj accepted as such a reaction a* would war rant resistance to the law* of Congress; nnd Hits could hut result in the Imposition of'terms of additional harshness upon the Southern masses. Our people should steadily keep In view one fact: Let the elections In Pennsylva nia and other Northern States go a* they may. the present Congress will remain iin- elmnged for nearly two years to come. Mr. Johnson's “policy” Is among tho thing* that were. \Ve might us well undertake to resurrect the Issues of 1830, as to go hack to 1863. The country lias got beyond thoM* periods.

Petroleum as Fuel.—A trial of the cap abilities of iictroleuin a* a fuel for produc ing steam was made on one of tho •‘dum my” locomotive* on tho Hudson River Railroad on Wednesday. The mode of us ing the petroleum was the method introduc ed and patented by 31r. Calvin Pepper, and Its chief peculiarity consists in thedispen- alng of all the ordinary ‘•burners*’and ••re torts,” and burning the oil in connection with water, from a surface of sand. The grate and ash-pan of tho furnace had been removed, and in their place wax substitut ed a circular pan of cast-iron, about eigh teen inches in diameter and eight inches in depth, having a jiorforatcd bottom, ci cred with a disk of wire gunge. The j Is tilled with coarse sand, and the oil Is conducted from its receptacle, through a pipe. Into a mass of sand. Another pipe conducts water from tho tank of the loco motive into the sand, and the oil rises to the top of the water, and burns on the sur face of the sand. The water, beside* ftir- nlslilng a convenient means of controllng the strength of the lire, also becomes de- coiuposciFby the heat, and aid* the com- bustiou of the oil. The bottom of the fire box Is made air-tight, and a blower, driven by steam power, furnishes a draft, which may bo regulated at pleasure. If prefer red, the exhaust steam from tho engine, or a steam-Jet^from the boiler, may bo used to supply tlie draff. The boiler used in the experiments of Wednesday was of tho un- rlgnt tabular style, about four fret In di ameter. ami about ten feet in length, and two-thirds filled with cold water at the 6bmmcncement of the experiments.— Twelve quarts of crude petroleum nnd three quarts of gasoline for lighting were poured upon the sand In the fire-box. In 15 minutes’ time from the application of tho match, va|H»ur licgan to show at the upiXr gunge-cock, hi about 38 minutes, with an efficient draff of air. the gunge in dicated 5 pounds pressure of steam, and In 00 minutes it had risen to 30 i>ound*.— Wnftt the pressure reached 110 pounds, the locomotive was started, and run about 20 minutes, when it was found that the appa ratus for supplying tho air-draff was sodc- llclent that the supply of steam could not bo maintained. Further experiments were therefore postponed to another day.— Though tho fire wn* kept up nearly two hours, only about 15 gallon* of petroleum were expended. Tiik Irish non Imuaiitiai.
