At that time it had not been learned there whether or not the Great Eastern, with the Atlantic cable, had arrived at Heart's Content. As the submarine telegraph across the Gulf of St. Law- rence, between Aspy Bay and Newfoundland, remains intorrapted, steamers havo now to be depended on for oommunication between the two places, and the reception ‘of nows from Heart's Content Is consequontly much de- layed. THE NEWS. Imporiant South Carolina news is contained in our @orrespondence received by the steamship Granada, which arrived at this port yesterday, from Charleston on the 5th instant. A misunderstanding betwcen the civil and military authorities has arisen, in consequence of Governor Perry having in his proclamation reappointed the old county officers who were in position under rebel The rebel Sheriff of Charleston had demanded the surrender of the county jail from General Bennett, post rule. commandant, who returned a prompt refusal, stating that South Carolina is still under martial law, and that he will deliver up no property in his charge until ordered to do g0 by his superior otlicer. The military generally, and the Union men of the State, what few of the latter there are, are iadignant over the proclamation and the attempts of the unadulterated secessionists to make use of it to regain their lost political positions, Many con- gidored that Governor Perry had exceeded his power, while others asserted that he was acting in accordance with the President's instructions, General Gillmore had started on an inspecting tour into the interior, and was ‘expected to proceed as far as Columbia and have an in- terview with the Governor. It is said that tho General ar ae tothe War Department the retention ‘@ponsiderable military force in the State for some tindg yet. It is belioved that the State convention will have a majority of delegates of the school of the old fire-eaters, nullifiers and rebels, who are determined, if possible, to regain their lost power. Late intelligence of interest from Mexico is contained in our despatches by the steamship Manhattan, which arrived here yesterday, from Vera Cruz on the 28th and Sisal on the 30th ult., and Havana on the 3d inst. In the city of Moxico the imperialists were congratulating themselves on tho fancied bright prospects of the cm- pire, and their expectations of its early recognition by the United States, for the purpose of securing which lat- ter desideratum it was reported that General Almonte ‘was preparing for a trip to Washington; but our corre- ‘S2ondents describe the present condition of the country as anything but flattering to the new government. he republican armies are still large and efficient, and hold ‘undisputed possession of a great portion of the terri- tory of the country, while the guerilla bands roam through nearly every section, still giving infinite annoy- ‘ance to the imperial troops, and the friends of Juarez aro said to bo gaining ground everywhere. Ex-United States Senator Gwin had left the capital and gone to after having had his plans for colonizing the Northcrn Mexican States completoly squolched by Meximilian, Our Vera Cruz correspondent gives accounts of moat atrocious vandalism and outrages committed by orders of the imperial army officers. At the meeting of the United Service Socioty of this city on Monday evening, at Masonic Hall, Thirteenth sroot, the preliminary stops were taken towards holding ® public mass meeting to advocate the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine in reference to Mexico. Tho election for members of Congress and the Logis- Jature took place in Kentucky on Monday; but we have not yet received returns sufficient to indicate with accu- racy tho actual result. Gencral Lovell H. Rousseau is elected to represent the Louisville district in Congress, The election of General Rousseau, a thorough anti- slavery leader, gives some reason to hope that progres- sive and onlightened views will eventually take hold on the minds of the people of Kentucky. Rousseau has made himself the foremost man of his State. Four Years ago, when fighting Kentucky neutrals and South- ern rebols, he began alone, without the fragment of a party to back him. He destroyed neutrality in 1861 by @ briliiamt coup de main in taking military possession, with @ few hundred men, of Muldraugh's Hill, cover: ing the approaches to Louisville, and he has vigor- ously aided, during the past four years, in putting down the rebellion. He returned to Louisville a month or six wocks ago, and accepted the nomination for Congress of the administration party of the district, He began the work of canvassing with but few friends to back him. He has during that time built up a party of voters, as he did a party of fighters four years before, and he has ‘beon returned by them to Congress by a handsome and gratifying majority Aconvention of the colored people of Tennessee, in favor of petitioning Congress and the State Legislature for the privilege of voting, assembled in Nashville on Monday and continued in session yesterday. George N. Sanders will not allow himeelf to be le alone, A Montreal despatch reports another attempt to abduct him, and our Montreal correspondent makes this the fifth effort of the kind. Sanders, it is said, goes around with two revolvers and a bowie knife. The mys- tery i# that, with so formidable an armament and eo many attacks upon his personal liberty, he has never yet managed to hurt anybody. Sanders himself is probably the ringleader in these farcical plots for his own capture, which he devises tor the purpose of keeping his name in the newspapers, Three of the persons alleged to be im- plicated in this last attempt are in custody. The Canadian Parliament was opened yesterday by Lord Monck, Lieutenant Governor of the Proviney, In his speech from the throne he expressed a hopedhat the Legislatures of the other Provinces would accept the confederation scheme, He regarded with satisfaction the “happy termination of the civil war which had for the last four years prevailed in the United States," which result Could not fail to exercise a beneficial influence on th» commercial and industrial interests of the Province. It is said that the appointment of a Lower Canadian, Sir 1. Bolleau, to the post of Premier had given great offence to the Upper Canadians and the partisans of both Brown and MeDonald, each of whom expected to obtain the position, Complications and trouble will be the result. The British brig T. H. A. Pill, which arrived here yesterday, from Hamilton, Bermuds, on the Sd instant, brought among her passengers Mr. Henry Peck, Commis. sioner and Consul General of tho U 1 States to Hayti, Who returns to this city in conse © of having beon wrecked on the passage to Port au Prince from Now York, tn the bark Wihelmina, and landed at Bermuda The case of Supervisor Cheshire, of Kings county, ro eontly commited to the Albany Penitentiary in puren. ance of the decision of a court martial finding him guitty of shalfeasanes while a member of the Board of Rnro! mont fn the Second Congressional district, wae again befure the Suprom) Court in Brooklyn yesterday, tn re. | ply t the writ of haven corpas requiring Mr. Pipsbury, | koopor of the Peni‘ent i roduve Mr, Cheshire in corrt, counsel fy the r ent stated that tt was im. poveiblo to oomply with the demand, as the prisoner hat bon voved from the charge of Mr. Pillsbury b ‘ | of Albany, in accordance with Gris (ur Pragideut Joluouu, Ab tho conclusion of | Gable gasociatons, (NEW YORK HERALD; WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 186%, Violent Attack Upon the President's Polf- | Union Is just a8 great a secessionist as the per argument on both sides the Judge made some rowarks condemnatory of the course pursued by the sushorilics relative to Mr. Cixeshire, and postponed his decision on the matter till the 4th of next month. It is sald that Cheshire Was taken from Albany to Boston on Monday last, and it is rumored that he has been conveyed from the latter place to the Dry Tortugas. Tn the United States District Court yesterday, Judge Botts presiding, the United States District Attorney moved for an order of condemnation aud salo against nineteen kogs of brandy, the same having been imported in smaller casks than allowed by law. No claimant appeared, and the order was made by the court. A simi- Jar order was made against seven thousand five hundrea cigars, seized on board the steain sloop Columbus, The cigars were seized in consequence of their not appearing onthe manifest. A similar order was also made in the cage of the United States against two puncheons of rum, fiid a bexos of clgars and soine other articlos, seized on board the brig Henry, the same not appearing in the manifost. 4 The proceedings in the Court of General Sessions yea- terday were interesting. Several charges of larceny were disposed of, aud two pickpockets, named Roberts and Edwards, were sent to the State Prison for three years, Adelaide Irwin, who, though yo.ing, is a noto; rious thief, was also sent to the State Prison for three years. An interesting sketch of her carcer will be found in our report. f= Surrogate Tucker yesterday heard and decided some three dozen petty motions. Charles P. H. Bock was ro- moved as guardian of Lena Bachman, he having ab- sconded and abandoned bis ward. Tn the large «state of Mrs. Auna Maria Forman, deoéased, an application was made for a collector, pending the question of probate of her alloged will; but it’ appearing that the husband had letiors of administration, the Surrogate denied the motion. It is designed to have music in tho Park, during the remainder of the summer, on each Wednesday after- noon, as well as on Saturdays, and, if the weather shall be favorable, the first of this new series of concerts will take place this a{ternoon, on the lake, between half-past three and half-past six. The bodies of Mr. George D, Cooper and John M, West- lake, victims of the explosion on board the steamer Arrow, in the North niver, on Saturday last, were found floating in the water near the city yesterday, and the body of a female, snpposed to be that of Miss Ericsson, another of the vic.ims of this disaster, was found in the Kast river, at the foot of pier 11, last evening. ‘A movting of discharged soldiers and sailors was held yesterday at Pythagoras Hall, in Canal street, to take measures for the relief of the largo numbers of them out of employment. They propose to form in procession on Friday morning of this week and march in a body to the offices of the Mayor and other city officials and tho business places of the leading employers, to solicit work and assiatance. A meeting of the Cartmen's and Laborers’ Association {street cleaners) took place last evening. The committes appointed to wait on Mr, Devoe (one of the streot clean. ing contractors), stated that that gentleman bad informed them that as vacancies occur in the employ of the con- tractors the members of the association will be ongaged. Nothing else of importance came up. Another meeting of the German lager beer retailers of the city was held yesterday, at which it was announced that their arrangoments for starting a brewery of their own, on a capital of thirty thousand dollars, in five hun- dred dollars shares, have been completed, and that the moncy has bee: procured. The Union Musical Association, composed of the Hol- landers resident in this city, had a musical and social festival at Lion park, Eighth avenue, yestorday, and a very gay and pleasant’ time generally. Among thoir joste were the officers of tho Netherlands war vossel ‘atergeus, now lying in our harbor. i There was unother large attendance on the Saratoga racecourse yesterday, inclading many prominoat sport- ing men from all parts of the country anda brilliant array of ladics. There wore two races, tho first one of two miles, for the Saratoga cup, for which three horses contended, and which was won by Kentucky, he going the distance in four minutes and one second and a half. The second race was one of mile heats, best two in three, for a purse of four hundred dollars, five horses running, and Arcola being the winner, The racing will continuc to-day. Williatn Jonos, alias Jack Sheppard, who some time ago escaped from Sing Sing, whithor he had been sent for stealing thirtecn hundred dollars worth of goods from infront ofa Broadway store, and who had thus far managed to avoid rearrest, was yesterday captured at an express office in this city, to which place le had gone to claim goods shipped by him from Boston, whore he had occupied the term of his stolon vacation in following ox- tensively the same line of business for which ho was sentenced to State Prison here, He has boon remanded to Sing Sing.

The Old Colony is over throe hun- dred and twenty feet in length, of eighteen hundred tons burthen, and a very handsome boat i all respects. Secretary of the Interior Harlan and the Commissioner of Ind'an Affairs bad avery satisfactory conference on Monday last, in Philadelphia, with prominent Quakers of that city, who propose to assist the government in its dealings with the Navajoe Indians, by establishing and maintaining among them schools and other civilizing in- stitutions. It fs expected that the plans for this philan- thropic enterprise will shortly be agreed upon between the Interior Department and the Quaker gentlemen alluded to, A New Orloans despatch saya that the State Treasury at Austin, Texas, was recently robbed of thirty thousand dollars in gold. Tho stock market was firm yesterday.. Governments were atendy. Gold opened at 144% and closed on the street at 14434. There was a decided lull in business yesterday—tho markets for nearly all kinds of morchandiso being ro- ported dull, This was especially the case with importod goods, which sold very sparingly as a general thing. Domostic produce was dull or quiet, and very little activity was noticed anywhere, Cotton was dull, heavy and doclining. Groceries were quiet. Petroleum was dull and mostly nominal. On ‘Change flour and wheat were quict and steady, Corn and oats where higher. Pork opened $1 lower, but closed rather firmer, Lard was heavy. Whiskey was quict but steady. Tus Instosiicance or Jerr. Davis.—No pun- ishment can be so terrible and withering to an ambitious man as the contempt and indifference of his cotemporaries. If a notorious career ends in triumph and is crowned with success ambition has its full reward; if it ends on the scaffold, its admirers will declare that end to be only a glorious martyrdom, and ambition will find its reward there also; butif it has neithor of these ends, if it passes out of view amid so much indifference that no one can say exactly how or where it went, posterity will forever sneer at it as the most miserable of failures, That is the proper punishment for the now utterly unimportant and insignificant leader of the late rebellion. Events have made him as little as his worst enemies could ever have wished to see him, and his own acts bave le him sidiculous, and all this bag happened while his whole activity has been cted to secure bis own fam tipo records but few in- stands of ata defeat, Lot him go now and he will sink forever out of the public sight, or come into it only to be laughed at. He can do no harm, and to punish him would be to dignify his carer, by reviving ite more forml, cy—Fright of Poor Forney. The recent election in Richmond, the de- velopments in Kentucky and in many of the States engaged in the late rebellion, furnish strong indications that some of the secession- ists ‘will come back into power through the machinery of the conventions and the popular vote in those States. This result follows as a natural consequence, for in most instances there are no other persons qualified for the offi- cial positions whom the people will trust, The abolitionists of ihe North and the Jacobin agi- tators seize upon these facts and magnify them into a conspiracy to inaugurate another re- bellion, declaring that the only salvation of the country ig in immediate universal negro suffrage. Poor Forney sees in the return of these men to Congress the end of his fat pick- ings around Washington, and forthwith joins in the Jacobin crusade and comes out with o bitter, violent and destructive attack upon the policy of President Johnson. In order that his real object may not be discovered, he an- nounces that an extensive conspiracy is organ- ized between the secessionists of the South and their copperhead allies in the North, to repu- diate the national debt, through the return of the former to Congress. With this he assails the reorganization programme ot the President, declaring that the republic is in great poril. This the Tribune and the abolition organs geno- rally take up and make it the basis of side attacks upon the administration, and point to negro suffrage as the only remedy. If poor Forney will read carefully the events of the last three months he will have no trouble in finding the original men in this repudiation party. There has been a movement started for that purpose; but it originated in Massachu- setts instead of the South, and among the abo- litionists instead of the late secessionists of the Southern States. Wendell Phillips was the originator, and boldly promulgated it to the world. What is more remarkable and striking, Wendell Phillips announced that the debt ought to be repudiated unless suffrage was given to the negroes; and now the abolitionists claim that the only thing which will defeat the plot which Forney has discovered is the same remedy. That is the cure-all for the nation’s ills, The substance of all this is that the Jaco- binagitators are determined to force negro suf- frage upon the country. They very plainly seo that their day of political power . is gone without it, and that their last and only hope for office is in securing the votes of the negro. Failing, notwithstanding their threats and manceuvres in the North, to force their policy upon the President, they have gone to work stirring up the people in the South, and endeavoring to so obstruct the ad- justment policy, that the reorganization of the Jate rebellious States will be delayed until they can secure their object, Phillips and his asso- ciates were 80 effectually frowned down upon his first’ utterance in favor of repudiation that they have changed their base to the South, and have now frightened poor Forney with dreadful apparitions, which, in fact, are only the schemes of the abolitionists developed ina new form. Tt reveals the desperate condition to which that class of agitators has been driven to secure the endorsement of their schemes. But even this dodge will be of no avail, for the govern- ment has for some time past been in possession of positive information of all these attempts, and understands fully how they were to be brought about. They were prepared for this disclosure of Forney, and understood full well that it originated with the Massachusetts aboli- tionjsts. Poor Forney’s attack upon the Presi- dent’s policy will, therefore, only recoil upon himsolf; and, like his Massachusetts abolition masters, he will have to try again before he accomplishes anything in that quarter. The reports from all sections of the South clearly prove that the great bulk of the poo- ple, with but On, are thorough! cured ot thelr secession heresies. gi now reaping the bitter fruits of their rebellion. As a genegal thing they staked their all on the fortunes of war—have beeii defeated, accept the result as final and conclusive, and are anx- ious to enjoy the blessings of a restored Union as soon as possible. The restoration of the South to her former position in the administra- tion of the affairs of the government, and with the representatives of those States in Congress, will enable the conservative elemetit of the country to organize and sweep tho radicals from position and power before the arrival of another Presidential clection. Hence we have the alarm sounded by Forney of a Southern repudiation plot. The repudiation of the debt will not be half as probable under the admission of Southern representatives as it will under the Jay Cooke-Chase radical theory of military rule, coupled with the idea that an enormous national debt is a national blessing. As to the election of men to Congress who ‘supported the late rebellion, no sane man could expect other- wise. There is hardly a man in the South of position or intelligence cnough to command the respect of the people, or of sufficient promi- nence to secure their votes now, but was com- pelled for self-protection to tako part in the rebellion. But if they take the oath of alle- giance, and manifest, as nearly all do, a dispo- sition to support the Union and constitution, that is all we can ask. This is simply follow- ing the example of all the Christian churches throughout the world. The universal custom among religious denominations is to accord to the vilest and most wicked sinner who repents the same rights and privileges in the Church as the old members, Why should there be any exception in the case of a repentant rebel? The fact of th. matter is, the pacification of the South would interfere with the political aspirations of the radicals and abolitionists, and hence all this commotion. Poor Forney is afraid that he will have no place under the new régime, and therefore joins the abolitionists in their attack upon the President. They thus hope to manufacture a public opinion that will justify Congress in rejecting the repre- sentatives sent from the South. Suppose, for inatance, that Congress does reject these repre- sentatives, they will be re-elected again ond again, until finally Congress will have to de- termine whether it will dictate who shall repre- sent given districts in the South, This may continue the rule of the radicals a few months longer, but will make their fall all the more disastrous in the end. The only safe plan for the country lies in the support of Mr. Johnson's policy, and in so strengthening bis hands that he can effectually put an end to ell, the dangers which threaten the peace of coun- try.

The contest of the white and black races in this country, originating from the miscegena- tion schemes of the abolitionists, has begun in Connecticut. A negro married a white woman, which so incensed the neighbors that frequent difficulties arose, and finally culminated in an attack upon the black man’s house by a parcel of boys, during which a black woman shot one of them dead. The coroner’s jury discharged the accused upon the grounds of justification. This is the commencement of a succession of similar conflicts between the two races for which the miscegenationists have been so long conspiring. It would be the glory of the nigger worshippers to reproduce the same scenes here, and all over the country, and they will succeed in doing so if the miscegenation journals in this clty are not suppressed. The rebel journals are bad enough, but thoy are not half as dangerous in -the present crisis of affairs as the. miscegenation organs. Tho rebel press of New York has lost its fangs now that the rebellion is over, but journals of the other class referred to are encouraging and directly bringing about a social condition, in the North and South alike, almost as bad as the rebellion through which we have just passed. They should, therefore, be stopped before the bloody work enacted at Greenwich goes any further. President Johnson has positive information that the abolition radicals, such as Wondell Phillips and other agitators of the miscegena- tion idea, are trying to stir up an insurrection in the South.” Mr. Johnson knows how to deal with these Jacobin revolutionists, and we hope he will handle them promptly—both the agita- tors and the miscegenation newspapers. He should put down the papers and put up the agitators higher than Haman. ‘The labor question now agitating the coun- try and perplexing the policy of the govern- ment, as well as the Iate muffer in Con- necticut, which, as we said, is the begin- ning of a war of races, naturally brings up for review the subject of African colonization. What to do with the emancipated negro is a query not vory easily answered. If it were, the reconstruction of the South would not be such a diffioult task as it presents itself to President Johnson, nor such a mischievous engine as it places in tho hands of the Jaco- bins. The President of the American Coloniza- tion Society, Mr. Latrobe, published a letter in these columns on Sunday, replying to the assertion of General Cox, candidate for Gov- ernor of Ohio, that African colonization was hopeless and tyrannical. Mr. Latrobe con- tends for the colonization of Liberia by tho negro. It must be admitted that tho emigration of this race, being Svluntary, is not # tyranni- oal measure. They are not compelled by any Jaw of Congress ‘nor any. proclamation of the Executive to abandon this country for Liberia or anywhere else. That they bave hitherto exhibited a disposition not to do'so is trac, and the colonization scheme so far has not been a great success, It might, indeed, in view of the anticipations created for it, be denominated a failure; but in the present state of affairs the negro might be found more willing to return to Africa. It would be less hardship, one would suppose, for him to emigrate to his native soil than for tho Germans to leave Fatherland or the Irish to desert the Emerald Islo. However, there is another question involved in this colonization scheme which affects more interests than the future of the blacks. The labor of the three millions of negroes now made free was always made productive to the extent of the cultivation of the Southern States. They were never half cultivated at the best, and the de- mand upon their resources, and indeed of the Sof the wholo country, ia greater now than before The War, for we BAYS & heavy sh- tional debt to liquiddie; Now, tho “voation 1s can we spare the labor Which African colonia.’ tion would draw ON? We lost by the war in various ways—by death on the bagtle fleld, by wounds and broken constitutions—a million of workmen in both sections. Immigration ¢xunot supply this deficiency in five years, even au- mitting that it attains an average of two hun- dred thousand a year, which it reached in 1864, because less than half the immigrants are not aduli laborers, Circumstanced as this country is, with its rapid progress and the inexorable demands upon\it for the fulfilment cf its destiny, we can- not affoxd to wait for the manufacture or the slow impdytation of a working population. It may suit the nations of Europe to wait twenty- one years for th & child to become a man; but we must have men, ’S labor instantly or the pro- gressive machinery o,f the country would siop. Our gold and silver would slumber in the bosom of the earth, our .¢W Territories and States would lie barren in t.°¢ Shadow of the forest, and our magnificent rivm.* Tan idly to the sea, The half worked Souther.” States— now more than ever in need of skilled (abor— would remain a profitless waste. All this { contrary to the’ spirit of the country; s\ that, in fact, we require a working population more to-day than we ever did before. Apnrt, them; from the humanitarian question ot the future prospects of the African race, we think it is manifestly our interest as well as theirs to keep the black laborers in the country, ailot- ting to them, of course, their proper position as voluntary workmen, but not forcing upon them, as the Jacobins insist upon doing, am “equality” which never could be real, and would entail upon them misery unendurable and the speedy annihilation of their entire race on this continent. The spirit which gave rise to the terrible incident in Connecticut, referred to at the opening of this article, is a strong evidence that this will inevitably be their fate in tho contest with the white race, to which they are now being hounded on by the abolitionists. Goon Nuws From Sovrm Canoniwa— Wank Hamrtox; tv A New Live —Wade Hamp- ton has concluded not to emigrate. For this the whole country should be duly and truly grateful, and doubtless is. We could better sparc u much better man, Wade is the last of the fire-caters—the last represent- ative of the ancient and terrific chivalry of the worst whipped State in the Union. If he should leave us the country would become de- cont and dull—it would degenerate into stupid respectability—than which nothing can be more horrible. How, dull would most men be if they should «uddgnly cut free from all their little vagaries and, ‘vioes—the toddy that made them 60 morry add quaint—the fooblo morality Just so it would be with society if it should suddenly 10% all its comical fellows—its antic caperers and extravagant asserters of wild no- dena. tn eked all its Wade Hamptons. Life would be more,tedlous than any of the ton times twice told & les that meander through tho monthly magazh e¢—worse than six folio volumes of sermons—‘luller than a funny pa- per. Therefore society should be congratu- lated upon the fact that Wide Hampton has de- cided to stay with us. We congratulate it, Wade informs us of his purpose through the columns of the Columbia Pheniz—a sug,sestive name, He proposes to rise from his own ashes with all the old badnoss burned out, and to He a better bifd than ever. But he has only reaohed this conclusion, he: gives us to , after much deliberation; for months he was Wade in the balance. He advises all his fellow citizens to do as he intends to do—“devote their whole energy to the re-establishment of law and order, the promotion of education,” &c. What has become of his Toledo blade, bis flery Rosi- nante, and all his last ditches? We hope they will be sent to Barnum for the new Museum. We hope also that Wade is in earnestin what he says about education. We expect him to open at once @ school for little niggers, He would be a splendid figure, with a birchen rod in the red right hand that recently brandished the glittering steel on so many magnificent retreats. Brady ought to get his picture. Napoleon’s European Congress and Its Effect Upon Our Affairs. The latest advices from Europe inform .us that the Emperor Napoleon atill adheres to his scheme of a European congress. When this idea was first proposed, England rejected it rather cavalierly, and of course this ended the affair temporarily. But with that remarkable obstinacy and that equally remarkable patience which form such marked characteristics of b's temperament, the Emperor has by no means relinquished his original plan, but has been content to wait until the stern logic of events forced it again upon the attention and recom- mended it to the favor of stupid John Bull. His oracular utterance, “® congress or war,” has greatly alarmed those who, give him oredit for some ‘knowledge of the future and those who recognize the fact that he would make his prophecy come true himself, if it did not come true in any other way. One by one those na- tions which objected to his scheme have been brought to perceive its merits, advantages and safety. Even England, the first to reject it, is now eager to avail herself of its influence. The Emperor, however, will not be hurried. He waite until the demands become clamorous before ho will yield to them. He will not again propose a congress until ‘he feels sure that the proposal will be at once accepted. He’ keeps his own wishes subsidiary, and prefers to: be asked: for a revival of his plan rather than to renew. the attempt+o press it upon Eu- rope. By and by he will gracefully yield and the congress will be held. We were in favor of the Emperor Napoleon’s original idea, and we are in favor of its revi- val. There are several questions of State in Europe which ought to be settled, and the congress will be a very good place to talk ‘them over and arrive at some general conclusion in regard to them. The most important, perhaps, of these questions is in connection with the Pope. We believe that a congress would finish the Pope’s political career, which has already lasted too long for the comfort of Christendom. It was not by ac- cident or through ignorance that the official Moniteur announced, the other day, that the capital of Italy had been removed from Turin to Rome. The writer knew very weil that the oxpital had been located at Florence, but he substituted Rome under instructions from his governmont. This is one of the feelers which Napoleon constantly throws out to test public -ninion, When be finds that public opinion ur — will suppore “ima in 80 radical a movement, he will boldly declare tnas @ Pope is the bead of the Church, but not the head of a sraporgl soy» ereignty, and he will withdraw those soldiers who have hitherto prevented the unity of Italy iy supporting the Papal throne on the points of thelr bayonets, He wishes, and he dosigns, to ad- minister his government like a second Charle- magne. Thete fs not the slightest bigotry in his composition. He is rathdy a tatalist than a religious fanatic. Whon the congress meota it will be so guided as to eottle the Italian question and the Pope, together ana finally. All true Roman Catholics will rejoice to see tbe tule of the Holy Father restricted to a king» dom which is not of this world. Since Spain has cordially recognized Italy, the Pope is left without a supporter in his untenable position. He catinot repudiate Spain as he has repidiated Maximilian, because the interests whicli he has at stake are too heavy. Thus the Roman Catholic nations and the head of the Roman Catholic Church are playing a game of cross- purposes, and the only way to escape from this ridiculous dilemma is to strtp the Pope of his {emporal power and restrict him to his religi- ow’ prerogatives, The European congress will do tin.3 ond end the affair satisfactorily. Singur tly enough, although we have care- futlly evoked those entangling alliances and Buropesn co™plications against which Wash- ington wisely warned us, we are vory deeply interested in Nap. leon’s international congress. “It will oxert a decided influence upon our affairs; but we shall e.xert an influence no less decided upon its deliberations, The immense strength of this country mnt be acknowledged. We now hold the balane’ of bower in the world. The main idea of an European con- gress is a goneral disarmament of the nations represented. The congress is held in the in- torest of univorsal peace. It is expected that the great Powers wilt disarm and retrench in order to allow the weaker nations to do tho same, and that war will be abol- ishod by unanimous consent. But Kurope cannot disarm until the United States agree to the measure. 'So long as France holds Mexico, England retains Canada and Spain claims Caba, we shall be a@ standing menace to those nations,,and if they do not lay down their arms none'of the other govern- menta will do. a0, The whole congress, there- fore, will await some authoritative develop- ment of our policy before taking any dofinite action in regard to the reduction of armies and navies, In this way we shall influence these Powers; and, in return, they can influence us Maximilian to take care of themselves and of each other if France will recall her troops and Canada to be independent. We are prepared to purchase Cuba from Spain at s fair price, as we purchased Louisiana from the First Na - poleon. Let these terms be accepted, and wo will guarantee peace, and the congress can proceed with its work. But, if these terms be rejected, the Monroe doctrine will stand, like e spectre, at the council board; our tremendous army and navy will cause all Europe to main tain its armaments, and, at some unexpected moment, we shall let loose the dogs of war and obviate the necessity of any congress by over- turnitig half the thrones of the Old World.” The South. American republics have already banded together against foreign intervention im tho affairs of this continent, That treaty should serve as & warning to those concerned. When we head this | Europe mmy reasonably tremble. We say to Napoleon and Palmerston that they must settle the Americam question in their congress on our terms or bid farewell to hopes of peace and prepare for a gigantic war.

Ravan, N. 0., August 3, 1865 Parties arriving here from different parts of the State say that there ia a great change in the conduct of the late rebel soldiers. Thoir complete submission and good intentions to the government for the first fow weeks after the collapse of the rebellion challenged the admi- ration of all loyal men. But since the wholesale display of clemency to the rebel leaders of wealth and iufluenoe, this treachorous and arrogant class have poisoned the minds of these goldicrs against the Union, and are now organizing them for ® political conflict with the government a war against the Union menand ne- roes. They are having everything their own way in Eaigeatin the delogates to the convention which they ex] will soon be cailed. jhless the government interferes and oxoludes those leaders from participating in this boay the truo Union men. will have nothing to do with its deliberations, which they claim will result ina farce, and ruin all are associated with it. ‘Wm.
