General Rosecrans’ has’ returned'to’ Wash- ington and freely reported to all inquiring friends the character, object and result of his late expedition to the West Virginia White Sulphur Springs. It) thus appears, first, that his mission was voluntary; that he thought it would be a good thing to have a smoke of the pipe of peace and a talk, with the master doctrinal and viewed politics as secondary, while this will be necessarily political. ‘At Nice the Church came forth to pronounce with a voice of authority against the tampering Seeretary Sew: sent instructions on Thursday by the cable to Minister Webb, at Rio Janeiro, direct ing bim to insist upon the passage of the United States steamer Wasp through the allied lines to Asuncion, and io case of refusal to demand his pass: ports.

Henry Wendt, who was serving a fifteen years’ senton-e in Ue Penhsylvania Penitentiary for having outraged @ number of littie girls under his | metaphysics of Arius, At Trent the bishops’ inspected the great structure to find if the explosions ‘of free. thought in Germany had shaken the walls. At Rome the Church must come forth as one presenting a plea for exist- ence; for if it comes in any mood but this its effort will be fruitless. If it merely prays:to, the gods to intermit the plagues of spreading intelligence and increasing knowledge; if, as {t has so much done lately, it impiously suppli-, cates divine power to change its plans for human development and so modify them that Rome, while remaining benighted, shall not lose her influence in the world, who but will wish that such supplication shall be. unheard, and who but knows that it can have. only the one effect of giving to men a new reason to rejoice in the fall of the Great City? There are some indications from Italy’ tliat ‘the Counell will prove a solemn mockery, that one of its serious topics will be a consultation on that grand panacea for ecclesiastical evil, the utterance of a new dogma. This new dogma’is to round the temple of mariolatry; and as the evil of the age seems to be that it has not enough fuith, the Council will xemedy that evil by giving men something new to believe in— giving crippled fuith a fresh burden to bear. But we believe the Council will be under the influence’ of a mind too perceptive to permit that nonsense to have an important place in its labors. This Council is Louis Napoleon's: instrument. Such a relation as Constan- tine held to the Council of Nice and | Charles V. to that of Trent, the pres- ent Emperor of France will hold to the Council of Rome, in so far as he in- spires it with a view to keeping in an effective state the great machinery of moral influence over populations not highly enlightened. But he holds also another relation to the minds of the late Southern confederacy on the political situation, and that having plenty of leisure time upon his hands he went over to Greenbrier for the purpose suggested. Secondly, that-he freely:and fully talked over, the political. situation with Alexander H. Ste- phens, General Lee, General Beauregard, Genera) Echols and company, and that he found them tn an admirable frame, of mind for sectional conciliatign aud, harmony, and wag well pleased ‘with their views and opinions. Thirdly, that whether he will make a report to the public on the subject or not isa question which remains to be decided, and that the de- cision rests entirely with him. Fourthly, that he has no faith in negro suffrage and Southern negro supremacy. We think there is nothing very novel or startling in all this; but, then, according to sotne of our radical organs, it is all a move- ment in the interestof Seymour and Blair: We guess, however, that General Rosecrans, like a great many other intelligent men, isinot in) his politiea), views of | this contest, cane trolled so much by his. love of Seymour. and. Blair.as by, his dislike and distrust of radical financiering, ‘radical teconstraction, | radical taxations ‘and radical extravagances, squan- derings and corrnptions—a position which ia not very surprising on the part even of a loyal soldier who thinks for himself. The radical journals, nevertheless, seem to think the dis- closure of this White Sulphur mission. posi- tively shocking, and that it all means: that General Rosecrans. our Minister to . Mexico, “by and with the advice and consent of the Senate,” has been cheek by jowl with Andy Johnson and has gone over to the peace plat- form of General Blair, Wonders will never cease, and yet we dare say that the sun will still continue to rise and set just the same as if General Rosecrans had never gone to Green- brier and had. never seen Andygohnson. Prorection to Prvsstay Emiorayns, —We learn by ‘late despatches that the North Ger- Pope. The Napoleons claim the rile of Charlemagne. Charlemagne was not only the champion of the Charch, he was the very personality of the temporal power. In all the recent turmoils of Euro- pean history Napoleon If}. has sustained the- Pope, not merely because Charlemagne did, perhaps, but, for he same reasons that moved. that. great exemplar; be- cnuse in the Pope and the Papacy he sustains a power capable of profoundly in- flucncing, if not the higher intellect, at least the common thought of the world, Through such machinery he can, when’ the time, is ripe, rally Catholic Europe round ® single name, and by a wise use of opportunity in identity- ing his dynasty with the defence of Rome he may establish a fair balance against some ob- noxtovs “fdeas prevalent im France and throughout Europe. There, are, more men in France believing in the Pope than cating for the republic, and it is almost’ as important to hold Rome as Paris. It is quite possible that we may have a new Pope noxt year. The fact that no Pope bas ever passed St. Peter's years in the Holy charge, has escaped from prison and it is thought gone to Buroy Af inquest was held yesterday on the body of Susannah Lat‘on, who d'el in childbed at a lying-in establishment on Amity place, The testimony of one | of the studenta at the Institation went to sirow (hat her culid was (immediately adopted out, and that no record was kop? of it of of other children thus dis- posed. of, as ladies frequently called for (he purpose | of adopting them.

There is no doubt that the whole system of emigration requires » thor- ough overhauling. Our government ought to be able to afford ample protection to all emi- grante from every conntry in Europe. There are laws enough on the statute books covering this question, but it pnfortunately happens that these laws are not discriminately carried out. We have Commissioners of Emigra- tion and emigration societies, the former regt- larly appointed and the latter legally char- tered, yet we find abuses of the most flagrant description existing both on board, of emigrant. ships and in Castle Garden, On ‘board ‘ship sanitary regulations are constantly violated, and the morality of the passengers receives #0 little attention that female emigrants are not safe in the pest holes of the emigrant ship, All these abuses require correction, and it is. no doubt because of the glaring fact that they do exist that this consular official from North Germany comes here to invoke the interference of our government, THe Onto DemMocracy.—There seems to be considerable sareness among the Ohio de- mocracy on account of the flanking of Pendle- toa ia the Tammany Mall by Seymour, and from the Third Ohio Coagressional district, on this head, we have what purports to bea democratic protest against Vallandigham. Asduming the document to be genuine, Val- landigham has a rough road before him, and Seymour, too, in Ohio.

The Sultan on Thursday last visited “Ad= miral Farragut on board the flagship Franklin, This visit. is one of the consequences of the Sultan's ‘remarkable: deviation from ancient precedents hy visiting Western Europe; and particularly of the new position which the United States government, has, naturally,as- | sumed in relation to the other great Powers of. the earth since the successful termination of our late civil-war. Only a few years: ago and such a visit would have been still more extra- ordinary. ; Atithat time, except-in Russia and perhaps in. Italy, the arrival of United States vessels. in almost any foreign port would have been’ ‘a comparatively. unnoticed event. But now the relations of, the United Statesgovern- ment’ to, the’ other, great Powers have been. completely changed. Into whatever port the flagship of Admiral’ Farragut has entered it hasbeen ‘recognized as bearing’ not only'a hero of our war, but also a representative of our national grandeur, In England and France, as well as in Russia and Italy and Turkey; Admiral Farragut has been welcomed with unprecedented attentions as a citizen of the great republic. ‘Ifthe Sultan were. to visit the United States he would hiniself meet with a heartier reception than was accorded to him in Paris, in London® or in Vienna. * Our own reception. of, William ,.the ,.

Presipent JUAREZ ON ‘THE OESsION OF MEXICAN Soit.—According to the telegraphic despatch from San Francisco which we’ 'pub- lished yesterday President Juarez, of Mexico, emphatically denies that any negotiations have taken place for the sale of Sonora and Sinaloa, or any part thereof, tothe United States. But runiora to the contrary have been so frequently repeated, and public men must so often vary their policy in conformity to actual exigencies, that we cannot lend implicit confidence to the protestation of President Juarez, It has been intimated that General Rosecrans will probably offer the support of the government of the United States to that of Jnurez in considera- tion of the cession of 4 liberal slice of Mexican territory. But the ultimate solution of the | Mexican question must, after all, be found | the absorption of Mexico by the great republic. For forty or fifty years all sorts of experiments have been vainly repeated, and it must at length be patent to the world that the com- bustible elements in Mexico predominate to such a degree that self-government on the part of the Mexican people is impossible. No other solution can be anticipated than the one which we have indicated. Senator MorGAy’s Ortston as to A Sxp- TEMBER SEssION OF ConGress.—Whether there shall be or not a September session of ‘Congress is a question which the two houses have left to the judgment of Senator Morgan, of New Fork, and Representative Schenck, of Ohio, It is given out that on being consulted on the subject Senator Morgan answered that in his opinion it was too soon yet to decide the question, which simply means that it is too soon to make the call; for that there will be a reassembling of the two houses on the 21st of September to strengthen the backbone of the radical party in the South we hold to be morally certain. The Southern radicals in the two houses of Congress demand it, and as in the matter of overriding the President's veto they now hold the balance of power their de- mand must be respected. They are in a tight at home, and Congress, being called upon ta hélp them, must come together. |Tur Nationa Dean—Greeley says that the, exact figures of the national debt are §2,401,324,477; for round numbers we will jsdy twenty-five hundred millions.
