France Among the Nations.
France is the bugbear of Europe. .Essen
tinily a military nation, especially rom the
time of Louis the Fourteenth, it has been
almost constantly in arms, chieffy with
aggressive views, ever since the English Re
volution of 1688. It has so happened, in most
of these wars, that England has become in-
Volved. WAPHIN ()TON IRVING, in his inimi
table, because truthful and pleasant sketch
of John Bull, described that old gentleman
as §0 impetuously and impulsively fond of
quarrel, that, no,sooner did he hear the
cudgels at work, than,_ hastily grasping
bis own bludgeon, he rushed into the
strife--sometimes not examining into the
cause of the quarrel until it was ended,
but almost invariably being cheated into
paying most of , the expenses. This ten
dency has cost England very dearly.
It is not too much to say, that the
National Debt of England was increased
to the extent of one-third by the war
With France, which commenced in 1793,
and was continued, with brief intermis
sions, until 1815, when the great NAPO
LEON met with his final reverse. That war,
Vilistever its nominal pretence, was com
menced and carried on tor the express pur
pofe of maintaining Legitimacy in France ;
that is, of forcing upon the French people a
monarch of the direct Bourbon family—a
race alternately bad and feeble, and some
tunes both. Twenty-two years of such a
war, - with an almost countless expenditure
of blood aad treasure ! What was the re
suits The Bourbons, restored in 1815, were
again deposed and exiled in 1830, and the
Duke of WELLINGTON, who had fought for
tutu during the last seven years-of the war,
(If-08-'15,) being Prime Minister of England
when the Revolution of July broke out, had
the courage as well as the sagacity to de
via; e that England must not again fight for
the Bombons, and that a nation had a right
to choose its own form of Government and
to elect its own ruler. ' This same non-in
teifercnee principle, now the recognized
rule throughout Europe, was dominant in
1813, when France repudiated the crafty
IJLX of the Orleans line, and in 1352,
when she elected Louis NAPOLEON BONA
TAI.TE to the imperial crown.
The English tendency "to drift into a
war, — (to employ a phrase which has now
become historical as well as proverbial)
was exemplified in 1854, when the Emperor
NAPOLEON, a singularly astute man, con
trived to involve her in that war with Bus
Ala which be, and he alone, had contrived,
chit fly for his own glorification. Mr. Kirin-
LAnE, with singular clearness of narration
has shown this Prussia, which had seized
Wellachia and Moldavia, hoping that Tur
key could not resist and that Europe would
not interfer, found an a.nglo-Gallic determi
nation to baterfere, and immediately, as the
Ecotehnian said, went "bock again," by
evacuating the provinces it had occupied.
At that moment, had France desired peace,
the question might easily have been settled,
by simple negociation, without any blood
ahed; but NAPOLEON had to win, military
.glory, to satisfy the greedy vanity of France,
and he took care that there should be no
ending, but war., It cost England some-
What about $40,000,000, and the lives of
over 100,000 gallant men ; it cost France
aiot much less What of that ? France
was gratified :by seeing " perfidious Albion",
play a secondary part in that Crimean war
and by having new laurels entwined around
the flag staff that proudly bore her tricolor.
Since then, England has carried out, as
far es possible, the principle of not interfe
ring in the quarrels of other nations She
has had a war with China, in which, once
Incie, the tricolor was side-by-side with the
Vr.icn-jack ; but this contest. though scarce
ly justifiable, was successful without much
cost. .he avoided getting into the Italian
'War of 1859. She may be on the eve of a
set ere contest with Janan--indeed, it seems
inevitable, unless s.he determines to abandon
all inteicourse with the Japanese, which is
precisely what they most desir% It is pos
aible. too, that the rising complicity as to
the .1 . 14.1.1.5 of Denmark may drag England
ho n some show of interference.
the policy of England is thus pas
the policy of France is active, and may
become aggressive. The one desire, domi
nant sad eternal, of Lours NAPOLEON is to
continue Emperor and transmit the sceptre
to his descendants. His interest has been
to keel on good terms with England, nor
do we think that he ever intended to go to
'war with her. But the anti-English party
in France is powerful, and he might have
been committed by it to hostilities with Eng
land.
France is aggressive. In other words,
France has great ideas of aggrandizement.
Frenchmen want to extend their Empire, so
as to make the Rhine its frontier. This
would involve him with Germany. He does
nothing for Poland. He does not assist
Vic , ron EMMAN crEL to make a strong Italy.
He hangs off, as yet, in the trouble about
Denmaik. If he ever obtain the frontier of
the Rhine, he will soon count Belgium as
gait of the French territory—and, if Bel.
gium, how long em Holland will again be
seized, on the plea that it is the alluvium of
French rivers.?
The Me:jean expedition, to use TALLEY
MAND'S saying on another occasion, was
►' a blunder, worse than a crime." From its
commencement to the present time, it has
been most unpopular. It has caused great
Expenditure of money and blood, and the
results, as yet, are contemptibly small.
It has enabled NAPOLEON, however, as in
Scorn, to humiliate Austria by tossing the
Mexican crown to one of her Archdukes,
which, if latest accounts can be relied upon,
has been accepted. How that diadem can
be safely worn, no one can foresee, Mexico
being imperial, under military direction, in
the small territory occupied by French
troops, and republican in every other place.
The French troops withdrawn, and they
must soon be recalled, what will maintain
MAxarrmAx on the throne of, Mexico ?
Nothing, as yet apparent, save his aeknOw
iedgment by Jxvsunsosi DATIs ! What a
reed to lean upon.
Neroutou will enter into his fifty-seventh
year in 31arch. The facts that age grows
upon him and that he is mortal, appear to
be all that Europe can at present rely upon.
As years advance, impulsive action usually
diminishes, and ambition relaxes'its desire
for further conquests. But NAPOLEON
never was impulsive, and his ambition is
that of his great namesake—to augment his
own power, by increasing the glory, the
Conquests, the possessions of France.
sc Which Side has Suffered Most t"
" Which side has suffered most in the
conflict," remarks the London Times, of
J anuar y 51,12, alluding to Our Union struggle,
"or is at the present moment most capable .
Of sustaining the terrible pressure on all the
resources of the nation, is open to dispute ;
but that a pacific settlement of the quarrel is
less possible now than in the first year of the
war is certain." The charming truth em
bodied in this exquisite paragraph would be
refreshing if we had not had so much of
the same article. Boit, like brandy and soda
Water taken in excess, it begins to lose its
effect. It palls upon the sated senses. And
the only reason we now dwell upon these
choice paragraphs of the London Times is
- because truth is truth all the world over,
and because the London Times is such a
very deep well that we cannot even see truth
at the bottom of it.
It is a matter of no dispute in this coutt
txy, nor would it be a matter of dispute to
impartial observers in any quarter, as to
Which side has' suffered most in this civil
iftople. It is equally no subject for dis
pute a s t o whiph side is at the present ino
meat most capable of sustaining the terrible
pressure :an all the resources of the nation.
The question, indeed, started by the Lon
don Timm, is so very amusing, that'we at
the North can afford to laugh at it. The
pressure, however, is a very serious matter
down South. It is so serious that it is
killing them. It is eating them up by ells,
not by inches. Arguing on from small
things to great, the London Times comes to
the conclusion that " a pacific settlement of
the quarrel is less possible now than in the
first year of the war." Labored misstate
ments and biased views are idiosyncracies
of the London Times.
6 , It seems also," continues this. amiable
organ, "that the descriptions of suffering
and want endured in the South, given in
the Northern journals, have been : grossly
exaggerated. The general state of affairs
of the Confederacy, and, what is more im
portant, the feeling of the people, indicate
both ability and determination to continue
the struggle. They consider Mr. Liriconn's
last proclamation as a new device to secure
political support in the North. Its terms
they regard With contempt." Let the funny
gentleman who writes those articles in the
London ri71268, read the testimony of refu
gees and deserters, the accounts of the
Southern papers themselves, to be con
vinced how true his statements are. Such
an access of intelligence will make his late
assurance doubly sure. The news which
we receive from those quarters most
in
terested in its being favorable, give a direct
denial to the representations of this journal.
Let the South speak for themselves in this
matter. Let voices from Richmond cry out
aloud in their anguish, and represent in their
slightest intonations tie depth of distress
they are enduring. Young and old there
are suffering alike, and it is the sheerest
folly in the world to deny it. Do we at the
North complain of starvation yet ? Are we
half-naked as well as half-fed ? The South
informs us with their own lips that they are,
and these statements at least must be be,
lieved. But we have no words to waste
over the verbose malignity of the London
Times, and are very willing to treat its
terms with the same feeling with which it
states the South regard President LIN
COLN'S.
Pennsylvania Journalism.
From Bzw.rAaurri FRAITKLIIVE, private cor
respondence we quote the following passage
upon the personality of the journalists of
his time. It is worth reading as a proof of
our progress in refinement
"The inoonilatency that strikes me the most is
that between the name of your city, Philadelphia,
and the spirit of rancor, malice and hatred that
I
breathes in the newspapers. For learn from those
papers that your State is divided into parties ; that
each party ascetics all the public Operations of the
other to vicious motives; that they, do not even
Suspect one another of the smallest degree of hi).
nesty ; that the anti-Federalists are such merely
from the fear of losing power, places, or emolu
ments, which they have in possession or expec
tation ; that the Federalists are a set of conspirators,
Who aim at establishing a tyranny over the persons
and properly of their eelanirymen, and who live in
splendor on the plunder of the people. I Learn, too,
that your justices of the peace, though chosen by
their neighbors, make a villanoue trade of their
offices, and promote discord to augment fees and
fleece their electors; and that this would not be
Mended were the choice in the Executive Council,
who, with interested or party aims, are continually
Making as improper appointmenti—witness a 'petty
fiddler,
sycophant, and scoundrel,' appointed judge
of the admiralty ; an old wodian and fomentor of
sedition' to be another of the judges, and a Jeffreys'
chief justice, etc., etc., with 'harpies,' the comptrol,
ler and naval officers, to prey upon the merchants;
and deprive them of their property by force of arms,
etc. lam informed, also, by these papers, that your
General Assembly, through the annual choice of the
people, shows no regent to their rights, but, from
sinister views or ignorance, make laws in direct
violation of the Constitution, to divest the inhabi
tants of their property, and give it to strangers and
intruders, and that the conned, either fearing the
resentment of their constituents or plotting to en
slave them, had projected to disarm them, and given
orders for that purpose ; and, finally, that your Presi
dent, the unanimous joint choice of the Council and
Assembly, is ' an old rogue, who gave his assent to
the Federal Constitution merely to avoid refunding
money he had purloined from the United States.” ,
There is, indeed, a good deal of man's inconsistency
in all this, and yet a stranger, seeing it in our own
prints, though he does not believe it all, may
probably believe enough of it to conclude that Penn
sylvania is peopled by a set of the most unprin
cipled, wicked, rascally, and quarrelsome scoundrels
upon the false of the globe. I have sometimes. in
deed, suspected that thbse papers are the manu
facture of foreigners among you, Who write with the
view of diegraeingyour country, and making you lap•
pear contemptible and detestable all the world over;
but then I wonder at the indiscretion of your printers
in publishing such writings. There is, however, one
Of your inconsistencies that consoles me a little,
which is that though, living, you give one another
the character of devils, dead, you are all angels. It
is delightful, when any of you' die, to read what
'
good-husbands good fathers, good friends, good citi
zens, and good Christians you were, concluding with
a scrap of poetry that places you vith certainty in
heaven. So that I think Pennsylvania a good'
country to die in, though a very bad one to live in."
With what proud satisfaction may the
philosophic mind reflect that these days
have gone by I No longer do we see, the
evils of which FRANKLIN complains, but,
on the contrary, peace, liberality, and im
partialthought There is not a Copperhead
newspaper in all Pennsylvania that calls the
President a rogue 5 he is only accused, in
the most good-natured way, of imbecility,
tyranny, a wicked wisdom, and indifference
to the fate of the country. The incon
sistency of the parts of this accusation is
proof that it is only made in the kindest
feelings of respect. The Secretary of War
is not denounced as a villain ; the worst
ever said of him was that he was another
NERO, and even General McC.LELLAN,
with his usual magnanimity towards his
enemies, only accused him of doing his best
to ruin the army. Is it not astonishing how
the press of Pennsylvania has changed for
the better ? Why, even the leaders of the
rebellion, the "Copperhead journals treat
with a tenderness that is really touching.
WILLIAM B. REED speaks Of JEFFERSON
DAVIS as "that stern statesman ;" his fol
lowers are so indulgent to treason that they
seldom call it by its right name, and so mer
ciful to slavery that they never speak of it
asa curse. They carry out the Biblical pre
cept, "love your enemies," to such an ex
treme that they sometimes seem to hate their
friends. If PRANK.ux could have lived to
see this wonderful change, the noble exam
ple of political moderation in abuse might
have actually persuaded him to oppose the
Government for the sake of polite company.
It is true that we sometimes find in Demo
cratic papers our best and wisest men de
nounced as thieves, jackals of a corrupt Ad
ministration, minions of the American Czar,
tyrants, fools, noodles, idiots, fiends, mon
sters of inhumanity, beasts, brutes ; but it
means nothing. " They do but murder in
jest—poison in jest," and every one knows
they do not believe what they say.
Arkansas.
Two reliable telegrams report that the
President has authorized Gen. STEELIT, to
order a Convention of the loyal people of
Arkansas to abolish slavery, and a general
election for the organization of 'the State
under a Grovernor and other executive offi
cers. This intelligence announces another
State added to the Union—another great
victory achieved for the Union. The ex
ample of Arkansas has its chief value in the
assurance which it gives that other States of
the South will follow it in the same way.
It will multiply itself in effect, and secure
to us in time at least two more redeemed
and free States. In fact, the examples of
Arkansas and Louisiana guarantee a future of
freedom to the whole South.
Fnoigt the character of current news, the
public mind will be led to expect another
fierce struggle in Tennessee—perhaps the
last great effort of the rebellion. The power
of the South is reconcentrating in that quar
ter, and we are already warned by the tele
gram which reported the falling back of
Gen. GRANGER before Gen. LONGSTREET.
We cannot be far wrong in supposing that
the rebel leaders will stretch forth every en
ergy to present an army formidable to Gen.
GRANT. For this purpose the forces of
Gen. LEE_ will be depleted, if necessary.
Even if Richmond itself must be abandoned,
the rebel Government is bent upon the de
feat of Gen. GRANT. This is alike its best
and worst alternative. In this prospect we
can only see additional encouragement to
the Union.
Tui GOVERNOTt of Kentucky only de
ceives his people , when he refuses to allow
the recruiting of free colored men from that
State. It is very brave to say "we are
ready to fill our quota from the free white
citizens of Kentucky," but it is not strictly
rational. Let us suppose that Kentucky
does not volunteer its quota. The white
people who do not own slaves may then
judge whether Governor BRAMLErrE is the
best friend of the people, or only an ally of
the slaveholders. •
WE call attentiop to the meeting to be held this
evening, at the etareh at the coiner of t ßroad and
Arch streets, in behalf of the Union refugees at
Claire. A letter from Brig. Gen. H. T. Reid, Com
manding at Cairo, states that refugees are arriving

in a destitute condition. - .

Gold in Idaho.
The GOnarnizeloner of the General Land Office re
ceived an interesting letter from Mr. G. E. Upeorr,
dated Bannock City, Idaho Territory, November 23,
1863, giving a description of the gold region in that ,
vicinity. He says
"Bannock City, or East Bannock, is situated on a
tributary of Beaver Head, called Grasshopper ri
ver. The mountains on either side of the stream in
the vicinity of the city are fully five thousand feet
above the level of the stream. In this valley or
gulch, and clear up the Sides of the mountains, • dig.
glop , for over twenty miles have been discovered,
and claims have been staked off wherever a show of
gold is to be seen. The highest yield thus far to the
pan has been five hundred. The average yield to
the pan is about five dollars."
General Officers.
A circular has been issued from the Adjutant
General's office to the major generals and brigadier
generals, requesting them to furnish, for the in
formation of the office, a succinct account of their
military services while in the service of the 'UnitAd
States since March 4, 1861. It is proposed to bind
the reports in book form, to be preserved with the
prominent records of the office.
Rebel Prisoners and the Amnesty.
There is little doubt that At least mme•hali of the
rebel prisoners in our hands would cheerfully avail
themselves of the President's Amnesty Proclama
tion if they had an opportunity of doing so. The
following extract from a letter, written by a captive
at Point Lookout, to his brother here, expresses the
condition and feeling of many rebels now held as
prisoners of war :
"I am here a prisoner against my will. I have no
sympathy with the South, and, although I now wear
the uniform of a rebel soldier,' never had any sympa
thy with her. I was forced into the rebel ranks in
1562. During that time I have made three attempts
to escape the hated service by-deserting. The last
time I tried to get away, I was caught, tried by
court-martial, and sentenced to be shot for deser
tion. Pay life was saved by the interposition of my
colonel.
"I am as loyal to the Union as you are. Won't
you try to have me released. I would rather die
than be exchanged and go back into the rebel ranks.
There are now in confinement here rive thousand
men who mould be glad to take the President'. oath,
and more than one-half of them would gladly join
the Union army."
The Union Sentiment in Arkansas.
CArao, Jan. 20.--. The steamer Forsyth, with the
10th Illinois Regiment (re-emitted), six hundred
strong, and the 3d lowa Cavalry, given hundred
strong, under Col. Caldwell, brings the following in
formation from Little' Rook, concerning the recon
struction movement in Arkansas:
The State Convention which assembled on the
Bth inst., had about completed its labors. Mush the
largest portion of the State was represented, and
no deliberative body ever assembled in the State
comprised more solid worth and intelligence than
this convention. The article prohibiting slavery in
the State was carried with but one dissenting vote.
The Constitution is to be submitted to the people on
the second Monday in March, at which time State
officers and member of the Legislature wiLl be
elected.
The Legislaturckito meet.on the third Monday
in April. The action: of the Convention is very sa
tisfactory to all loyal men. The qualification of
voters is to be the oath prescribed by the President's
proclamation, and it is believen that the !loyaliciti
zens will be able to poll 20,000 votes for the Consti
tution. The Convention will recommend a suitable
person for Provisional Governor. Judge Murphy
is spoken of as the probable nominee.
Weerrixerrox, Jan, 25.—The President has par
doned Mr. Griffith, one of the Arkansas .delegation
who is now here, and was a member of the Con.
Vention which passed the ordinance for the secession
of that State. The delegation will return to At ,
kansas during this week to arrange for the calling
of a convention to bring back that State into the
Union.
Printed forms have been prepared, by order of the
President, to facilitate similar proceedings other
revolted States.

arrested by the military authorities for publishing
sentiments, and the paper has been sup.

LONGSTREET RETIRING, AND THE NA
TIONAL FOROES IN WINTER QUARTERS
—REcONSTIWOTION IN TENNESSEE
- - -
NASHVILLE, Jan. 25.—The excitement regarding
Knoxville is totally without cause. The demonstra
tions of Longatreet were apparently intended only
to recover the forage ground taken by Poster, and
the latest information is to the effect that the rebel
chief is retiring. Our troops are in Winter quarteri,
and General Foster anticipates no attack and is able
to repel any that Longetreet can make.
There are reasons to doubt the truth of the report
that Lee has reinforced Longetreet. No active ope-,
?Mims need be expected in that quarter for several
weeks.
General Vance and his brigade had captured one
of our forage traiae, when Sturgee went in pureuit
and captured the entire rebel force.
Efforts are being made to reconstruct the State
government, but with little hope of Its early return
to the Union. The radicals, with Governor Johnson
at their head, favor the calling of a convention to
nullify the Constitution and frame one on emancipa

reviving their old prqjeot of forming a separate
Mate of that section. Rebel officers and soldiers
continue to come in daily,desiring to take advantage
of the amnesty proclamation.

BALTIMORE, JAR. 25.—The Baltimore American
of this morning, in alluding to the addresses of
Messrs. Hicks and Swann before the Maryland Le

" Senator Risks spoke very briefly, but found
opportunity to declare himself in favor of prompt
action by the State in reference to emancipation.
Then is, he declares, no practical benefit in tempo
rising over a subject which has already been disposed
of virtually by current events.
" Mr. Swann wee more distinct and emphatic in
his declaration. He declared immediate emancipa
tion the only remedy; avowed the intention of him
self and friends to push the steed of emancipation
with whin and spur until every valley and every
hill-top ;hall feel the tramp of his glorious mission,
and the whole State of Maryland, from its centre to
its circumference, shall be awakened to an edict of
universal emancipation." These are good word.
and if they be well supported by acts, as Mr. Swann
said, "We are truly a united party."

Tea NON•OI7OCBee Or THE NORTII.—The greatest
success of the North Wall the capture of Viatiabiug,
whioh, it was asserted, opened the whole course or
the Mississippi, and divided the revolted States to
the emit and west of that river. Yet, by the last
account', ft is evident that the great river of the
West is not "open" to navigation. The Federate
hold New Orleans, at the mouth of the Mississippi,
and many other points in its cowrie ; but the stream
is all Mlieh 'flexed for traffic as when the Con
federates garrisoned Vicksburg- Not a steamer
can pass up or down without the risk of being at
tacked by the Southern guerilla band. on both
banks. The immense territory through which the
river winds baffle' all attempts to occupy it. The
whole army of General Grant now concentrated in
East Tennessee would not aniline to "command"
the Mississippi and "keep its navigation open."
For the greater part of its course it runs through
a territory of which the people, as our correspon
dent says, are "bitterly hostile" to the Federal'',
and, as the actual consequence of such hostility,
the river is closed. The same difficulty is encoun
tered on the inland line, of comMUnieatiOn. All
the troops the North could raise would not be
enough to fight and protect many hundreds of miles
of railway at the same time. It would require 100,000
men to keep the single line from the Mississippi to
Chattanooga in working order. The distances ap
pear to baffle all military skill, and oo diminish the'
value of a successful operation that it is followed
by very slight results. A country may be too large
for decisive war, and the waste of whole armies in
America aeems to approve the fact. Napeleon swept
over everything between Paris and Vienna, but
Spain and Russia defied him, and exhausted his
troops in a conflict with nature itself. General
Grant is now contending with the same kind of difg
conies, while the Southern rental appear to be rally
ing in his front and rear. It is evident that the
Federal occupation of Eastern Tennessee, even
if it can be maintained, will not bring the war
nearer to a conclusion. In Virginia, the South
erner, have lost nothing in all the campaigns, and
every attempt to penetrate their country in tide di
rection has been defeated. The real task of the
Army of the Potomac is to defend Washington,
which has been as frequently in danger of capture
during the war at Richmond. The siege of Charles
ton has failed, and the fleet of monitors has ant:fared
so much damage during the operations that it cannot
venture within range of the Confederate batteries.
The blockade of the Southern coast does not deprive
the people of an ample supply of imported articles,
nor does the depreciation of their currency appear
to disable them from purchasing. Goods to the va
lue of a million of dollars arrive in the port of Wil.
mington every four.and.twenty hours, The contra
band trade must be profitable in spite of captures and
inconvertible Southern notes. It seems, also that
the desoriptiona of suffering and want endured in the
South, given hr the Northern journals, have been
groiddy exaggerated. The general state of affairs of
the Confederacy, and, what is more important, the
feeling of the people, indicate both ability and de
termination to continue the struggle. They con
alder Mr. Lincoln', last proclamation at a mere de
vice to secure political support, in the North. Its
terms they regard with riontenipt. Time enough has
now elapsed to test the eWoot of hie first preclamation
in reference to slavery. From Mr. Lincoln's message
to Cone rem, it appear. that the total number of slaves
the Federal armies have liberated is 100,000. This la
the whole result of three year. of war in the name
of Abolition. And at an awful price it has been ob.
tamed. For every negro thus freed it is calculated
that three white men have been killed in the contest.
If the four millions of blacks are only to be emend
paced at the same cost, the calculation becomes some
thing terrible, and the feelings of humanity will be
appealed to on behalf of the superior race. The
worst evil that hell grown out of the system of
slavery is the war carried on to extinguish it .
To be Successful, the conquest of the Southern
territory must be complete, and, after all the waste
of life and money, moat of the task has still to be
done. What has been effected in the work
of Abolition is even less in proy,ortion. The war
has liberated one hundred thousand negroes, leaving
the condition of millions of slaves unaltered. Can
the most bigoted philanthropist assert that, as a
war of emancipation, the conflict has been marked
by successi Or, taking it as a war of conquest, has
thiii North gained territory enough from the South
to destroy its power of reolatance and make its re
turn to the Union inevitable? If either of the ob.
jests of the snuggle had been obtained, the fourth
year of the war would not have found these clues.

They came from Italy, and'three of the number
are Italians ; the fourth gave an assumed name. It
is asserted that one of the conspirators had made a
complete avowal of the criminal object of the con
spiracy. At their residence were found a quantity
of gunpowder, four poniards, four revolvers, four
ingenious air-guns, and eight hand•grenades of the
Orsini pattern.
A letter dated at Lugano was found on one of the
conspirators compromising all concerned.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
says : "Insinuations have been thrown out that the'
attitude of the Opposition in the Legislature has
something to do with the arrests, and the authority
of the Government would be less controlled were it
known that the people were conspiring."
The trial of the Italian. will take place during
the February assizes. Nothing has been discovered
to compromise any other persons.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times

The Danish troops still occupied the northern part

It is stated that Prince Augustenberg intended to

The London Times says : With a view of assisting
English diplomacy and for the protection of British
interests, it is not unlikely that the channel neat

owing to British counsels that the Danes have aban
doned important positions and sacrificed the greater
part of the country which is the subject of dispute ;
but as there is a great difference between sympathy
and interference, England is bound to weigh well
the consequences of any act which would entangle
her in war. To the prudence of the Government,
therefore, the conduct of attain must be committed,

lotion asking for an investigation of the straits of the

penditures of the naval powers of Europe, excluding
Italy and Denmark. They amounted last year, in round
numbers, to $139,100,000, so that we are now called upon
to spend this year more than the combined world, with
the exceptions of Italy and Denmark The naval ex
penses of krailand and France during the Crimean war
amounted to three hundred and fifty million dollars. In
a period of three years and five months we are called
upon to spend forty millions more per annum than this.
On motion of Mr. RALE. the matter VMS referred to a
special select committee of three, with power to send for
persons and papers. Messrs. Hale. Grimes, and Backs
law were appointed the committee.
• The Oath Prescribed for Senators.
On motion of Mr. SUPINEA. the Senate proceeded to
the consideration of the rule requiring Senators to take
the oath.
Mr. SAULSBURY. of Delaware remarked that the im
portance of the decision of the Senate did not depend
upon any immediate result to follow: but from a con
sideration of those which might hereafter arise. If it
was contended that this act of July 17th. 1862, applied to
Senators and Representatives, he could
.conceiire of but
one object which the Liends of the measure had in view
in its passage—the exclusion of the States now in re YU
lotion from representation in Congress. Rauch was the
oldest the friends of the measure had in view, they must
be considered as the rankest diannionists, because to
ex
elude any one who had air in any way the existing
revolutionwas to exclude . ose Stairs from representa
tion in Comma, and o bet persona could properly
represent them. He quoted from the Constitution to
show that a Senator was not an officer under tne United
States Government, but as a representative of a State in
a body convtitnting a co-ordinate branch of the Govern
ment, which body was part of the Government, and not
the body under the Government.
Be cited Madison on the nature and power of our Go
vernment, and conteneed that the act of the 2d of July
and the proposed .order regarded the Government as
Purely national, avd not federal, which he denied,
claiming that the Government was chiefly federal and
only national in tart.
He attributed the opinions of those who were ad YOCO,
ties this measure to a disregard of the fundamental prin
ciple of the Constitution. If this oath Is required the Se
nate could demand, as qualification of a member,
that he bad swam the Hellespont, looked into the crater
of Vesuvius, or had split rails in Illinois. Also, they might
inquire of a person applying for a'seat here, whether he
had vcr ed for Mr. Lincoln, and whether he would con
tinue to do so, and that they had never opposed his po
licy.
Thus Would admission here depend upon caprice, or
partisan whim and dictation. Mr. Collamer's argument,
he said, urea based wholly on the erroneous assumption
that the subsequent act of July. 1862, to punish treason.
created a it gal disability in the act prescribing the oath.
Na shewect by onetime from Hamilton bow < tt r vise
aa cl great men of the past had been deceived In reference
to the practical operation of our Federal system, Ham
ilton thought that State government would be a perfect
security against encroachment of the Federal power. He
(Mr. Saulsbury) came from a State that was the first to
adopt the Federal Constitution. Under the influence of
F e d era l power it had been practically ‘ blotted out. The
fate of Delaware to-day may ei; was fate or every State
tomorrow. Shell the rlghte of the people be maintained,

of the present times.
Mr. Sumner's Remarks.
Mr. SUMNER said this was not a (emotion of the pas
sage of the statute, but a question of the enforcement
of its provisions. Considering its simplicity, he was
surprised that so much discussion had arisen. He had
vindicated heretofore the constitutionality of the statute.
He would now inquire the meaning of it. Mr. Sumner
Proceeded at length to give a history of the passage of
the law, and its application. There could be no two
opinions about the necessity of such a rule. He argued
that Senators were civil officers under the rule, as they.
were neither navybr military.
Mr DOOLITTLE agreed with the Senator from Ver
mont. Mr. Foote. that there was no occasion for such
action on the part of the Senate, as the establishment of
this role.
AiIINEON, of Maryland, said he would sacrifice as
mochas any man in crushit g the rebellion. and re
storis g the authority of the Constitution in the seceded
States, bathe would not sacrifice the fottunee, the lives,
and the interest. of the loyal States in a war of subin
cation. Re mould not annihilate four or Ilse millions
of whites. because he believed it to be unnecessary in
this case.
Mr. Johnson proceeded at length [to argue the Con.
stitntionelity and expediency of the proposed rule, and
replied to the remarks of Messrs. Ooliamer, Sumner,and
Doolittle, saying that the ifesolution•• of Mr.- Sumner
would not effect Senator Bayard, which was the chief
object the Senator bad in view. The Senator had alread.Y
entered upon his duties, audit he was disqualified, the
question of his expulsion could be raised on every vote
lie ehould cast here. If the law is defective because it
Prescribes no form of oath, this body had not the power
to modify it. Bad the Senate forgotten the case of
Bright, who was expelled because of having addressed
a letter to Jefferson Davis as President of the Confede
rate States of America? We had the power to expel
traitor' here without the establishment of these rules.
Have we no confidence In ourselves, or in our succes
sors? He Lad no fears that the leaders of the rebellion;
with hands red with loyal blood, would creep in here.
When the military power of this rebellion is crushed,
as he believed it would soon be, these leaders will call
upon the rocks and mountains to hide them from the
wr•th cf the people they deceiv, d.
When the shackles shall fail from the people. these lead
ers would fear them as they would the wrath to come.
He believed there was a large roam of the Southern peo
ple who were forced into the rebellion by force of arms.
and who 3 earned for a return to loyalty and Union, and
be 'would welcome them with open arum and heart. ,
while he would have no mercy for those who, by the
excrete° of a despotic military power, had crushed them
under a despotic yoke.
In his State i here wag a universalist preacher who, on
one occmion, before the 'war broke out, used to express
a disbelief in theexistence of shell or of a future punish
ment. went to the war as a chaplain, and when he
came home, in addreating the people, in speaking on this
subject; he Bloke crime of the lowers in rebellion
as greater than any ever committed on earth. He said
as fellows " Citizens, you know what my opinion
was formerly. but now. I have come to believe in
a hell as a military necessity." [Great laughter.]
He would go as far as the farthest to punish now
and hereafter the leaders of the rebellion, but for
the people bowed down under despotic power, he had
.3qm...thy, and he was not ashamed to avow it here and
elsewhere, and he Wald like to see this despotic power
broken, and the heat is of the Southern people allowed
to break into patriotic line for the Government, which
has never cone ought to oppress them. We are living
in an enviable period. Grand as were the revolutions
that bad occurred in the countries of the Old World. and
that bad been carried out to shake off the fetters of
bigotry and despotism—grand as was our own Revolu
tion, there was a grander one now occurring. The part
we have to play is as important in the history of the
W ord as that -played by our forefathers. Our capacity
to maintain constitutional liberty is now on trial. If
we succeed or fail. we involve the constitutional liberty
of all mankind. We were all in the boat together, lie
believed it to be our duty to rise to a fall comprehension
of the era in which we are living, so that regenerated
as a people we could stand in the vanguard of the na
tions of the world. He would ask the Senator to with
draw his resolution, as it did not effect the object pro

Mr. MOORE, of ifew York, said the proclamation of
thelPresident. for emancipation of slaves. would not end
the war: it must be done by the sword, and fulmination
of ordnance and Minnie rifles. To say the proclamation
wculd do it was a delusion.
Mr. SMITH. of Kentucky, said : As a Southern man.
identified with the institution of slavery, there re
mained behind the rebellion that which gave it strength
and power, and which must be des roved and over
thrown while the army moves in front. The very life
blood of rebellion is drawn from African slavery. and
whenever we tap this fountain our efforts will be
effectual. [applause.)
The Administration avid 'Kentucky.
Mr. MALLORY, Of Kentucky, entered hie solemn pro
test against the eentimeate uttered by MC colleague.
Kentucky scorns them. and hen given evidence of the
fact that she does so .
Mr. SAME, of Kentucky, asked whether Kentucky
did not, after the issuance of the proclamation, five
.9,000 majority for the 'Union and the enforcement of the
laws 7
Mr. MALLORY replied yes; but against the Adminis
tration end President Lincoln as denounced by his col
league himself. Did his colleague deny this ?
Mr. SMITH said, I do deny it
Mr. MALLORY, of Kentucky. said the voice of Ken
tucky. was expressed through her Legislature and Con
stitution. He Would stand by the Slate through thick
and thin, while opposing the emancipation proclam
ation, as a usurpation.
Mr. SMITH, of Kentucky, explained his position in
the late canvass. which was that, while opposed to the
operation of the proclamation upon Union men of the
South, as far as rebels in- arms were concerned, he
would take their negroes and their infernal lives, and
crush them to atoms. [Applause.l
Mr. MALLORY replied he would carry on the war
withall - the power the Constitution conferred. He would'
destroy the rebel armies, and reduce the rebels them
selves to obedience to the Constitution and the laws.
Then he hoped he would have magnanimity enough lb
stare private property. and to let the people of the South
come back to their, allegiance. living peaceably under
their own vine and fig tree, for he wanted no heart
burning.
Mr. WADSWORTH, of Kentueky.referred to a speech
Of Mr. Smith, to show the latter WAS opposed to the radi
cal ;measures of the Administzati.na, and that, if sleeted
to Congress. he would vote for a Democrat for Speaker.
Mr. SMITH replied. that there was no War Democrat
he could vote for. None such bad been nominated. He
therefore supported the gentleman who now so ably fills
the chair, and be was proud to stand by him, because
that gentleman is for the Government, Constitution, and
the Union, and who never sustained any man opposed
to the war.
Mr. WADSWORTH.ef Kentucky. arraigned his col.
league, Mr. Smith, for his betrayal of the Union party
or Kentucky, and as unfit to fulfil the pledges he had
nade to them. Se regretted that his colleague's opinions
were not corner known. If they had baen, the people
would have elected a man opposed to the radical mime
sures of the Administration. •
Mr. SMITH explained his position. He went into
the election on a principle high and sublime—love of
country and pure philanthrophy. Hewes nominated by
a convention which the Louisville Journal denounced
as radical abolhion. and he was elected by over 5,000
maiority. Men who own more negroes than all of them
together, had endorsed his course in voting for Speaker
Colfax.
Mr. CLAY. of Kentucky. wished to know whetherhe
was included in the charges of violation of pledges.
Mr. MALLORY replied he had not in remotest man
ner winded to his colleague, and be did not know Mr.
Clay's views on the emancipation proclamation.
Mr. CLAI said he had made a pledge that he would
make no pledgee: he was thualett free to vote for Speak
er for the man best qualified for the position. He was
Independent, and would act in such a manner as would
benefit the country, and on thie would return to and
fare his constituents .

GIFT Sy THE PRIM& OP WALES , r 0 HARVARD
COLLEGE LIDEARv.—The Prince of Wales has
made a valuable present to Harvard College, ac
companied by the following letter
" SANDRINGHAM, November b, 1863.
Sin I tun desired by the Prince of Wales to say,
in answer to your letter of the 22d ult., that it will
give him very great pleasure to present to the Li
brary of Cambridge University a copy of the photo
graphs of the Samaritan Pentateuch, taken during
the visit of hie Royal Highness to Icabloos.
The above note is in answer to the request of a
clergyman in Cambridge for a photograph of what
claims to be the oldest MS. in the world for Harvard
College Library. The Samaritans profess that it is
more than three thousand years old, and by the
grandson of Aaron.
The Prince of Wales desires me to add that he will
always be glad of any opportunity which may ens
ble him to evince, in however slight a manner, the
lively sense which he entertains of the kindness and
hospitality which he received during his visit to the
United States; and that with these recollections be
cannot fail cordially to reciprocate the wish td
which you have given expression, that nothing may
occur to interrupt the friendship which ought ever
to subsist between the old country and the new.
I have the honor to be, sir,
Your most obedient servant,

Mr. Davidson, a Southern engineer, proposes to
launch into the upper regions What he calls a "Bird
of Art," or flying machine, with which he intends
to cruise about, above common range, and drop
shells into 'Yankee camps and ships. A short ex
tract from the inventor's memorial to the Legisla
ture of Virginia, will serve to show how this most
desirable object can be accomplished :
"Now, let it be supposed that the number (1,000)
of these Birds of Alt were stationed at the distance
of five miler from a hostile military camp, fortifica
tion, or armada of war vessels ; that each Arlisavis
was supplied with a 60 pound explosive shell, and
being started singly, or two or three abreast, going
out or dropping those destructive missiles' from a
point of elevation beyond the reach of the enemy's
guns, then returning to the place of departure and
reloading, and thus continuing the movement at the
rate of 100 miles per hour. It will be seen that
within the period of 12 hours one hundred and dft
thousand death-dealing bombs could be thus rained
down upon the foe, a force that no defensive art on
land, however solid, could withstand even for a sin
gle day, while exposed armies and ships would be
almost instantly destroyed, without the least chance
for escape."

WALPTIIT•STREET THEATRE.—The Walnut•atreet
Theatre bad a fair chance for a full house last night.
By an unusual coincidence both the Arch and the
Cheitnutstreet Theatre. were closed ; so the
Walnut and Buckle Western had it all to them•
selves. The Walnut, consequently, 'Was deprived
of standing•room. Miss Western is as good and as
bad as ever as Lady Isabel and Madame Vine. With
charming pertinacity she still persist! in pro•
nouncing "shall" " and " excess n
cess." As a rule she draws well, for she is a fine.
looking woman, and in the main points tries to do
hes very best. The present season will probably be
a successful one. itliss Western soon departs
for California.
101186TNIIT-9TBIIBT THlLLTltll.—Tonight . Mr.
Grover begins his season, and introduces, in the fine
play of "The Veteran," several of the beat members
of his company. Others of his leading artiste have
not yet reached the city, having made brief engage.
manta elsewhere before Mr. Grover secured their
services. His company is, however, strong Wit*
and it will not be long before it is strengthened by
Miss Johanna °Janssen and other,. The theatre
will no doubt be crowded this evening, and we trust
the public will find Mr. Grovet's company and ma
nagement all that it has reason to expect.
CONCSICT HALL..:tThe first of a series of five peen.
cal lectures, by Rev. Dr. Cox, of New York, will be
delivered this evening. The literary reputation of
Dr. Coxjustifiest the expectation of a valuable enter
tabament.
Dit. Dro Imwrs, LBOTURE.—Bishop Potter, Dr.
H. H., Smith, and others, having invited Dr. Diu
Lewis, of Boston, to deliver a lecture upon physical
culture in this city, he will make his.appearance at
Concert Hall tomorrow evening. Exercises illur
trative of his system of new gymnastics will be
performed by members of Mr. Gillingham's classes.
THSTITIONIAL.—The grand testimonial to be given
this evening, by the attaohdes of the National Circus,
to Mrs. Charles Warner, the directress of the insti
tution, will amply repay a visit. The performers
will appear in their beat and moat classical pieces.
Mrs. W. fully deserves the compliment for the able
manner in which she has conducted the institution,
and inns made the scenes of the ring—what they
ought to be at all limes—popular, amusing, and in.
strustive.
