WADE HAMPTON is one of the pram cite . „ a i m o f t h e south—in some respects the pattern 'knight and gentleman of the Caro linasg So many of his class having refused to accept the stern fact of defeat and of con quest, it is a healthy sign to see him telling them that they must abide by and obey what they:cannOt alter, and - without which they cannot prosper in this country. There is nothing more pitiable than the selfish woe of people "who have seen better days," espe daily if they were born to wealth never -earned by honest toil, and tumbled from riches into ragsWithouthaving tasted a day's work. The reason why there was so much profound contempt for the presumption 4:s South - Carolina among the old-fashioned :statesmen, was because she made herself into a sort of exclusive god, without decent pretensions of any kind. She had money, -coined out of slavery, but she had neither unrivalled rgenius, enterprise, nor influ -ence upon others. Her code of laws was a _mockery and a sham, and her public men, with one exception, never made a lasting mark, or attracted the honest admiration of mankind. That exception was Jour; C. -Cauloinc. And what, with all his ac -quirementS, was CAnnouri ? A cold and -caleulafmg casuist, who, in his eager desire to separate a happy people, and to found a system upon what he knew to be merely a profitable profligacy and a licensed lie, lived and died preaching the shameful and shameless philosophy that his fellow-beings -could insult God and enslave man, and not be punished for it. In hisbrain was born the rebellion. Five hundred thousand Southern that went out in battle for his heresy, are pleading for his damnation at the eternal bar to-day ; and the State that elevated, followed, echoed, and worshipped hint, is a graveyard or a 'desert, from the sea shore to the Savannah river, and from the head of the Tugaloo to the North Carolina pines; made so by a war fought for his doctrines and by the poor dupes who believed in them. The old statesmen - understood and repudiated this bad man. JACKSON, CLAY, 'WEBSTER, BENT ON , in :stifled-rely saw the mischievous and fatal tendency of Ids theories, and by their bold and sudden attacks, and their incessant vigilance, kept him in a minority in the South, and cabined and cribbed •him within_ the limits of South Carolina. It was only when JAMES BUCHANAN allowed the poison to spread, that the whole Southern section was struck with the- disease which has ended in the double downfall of aristocracy and of slavery, And now a polished and not a foolish follower of Cannoule sees the path of painful duty and proposes to - walk in it. It is a candid as well as a busi ness-like proceeding, and we respect WADE HAMPTON for it. The days of the chivalry are gone. We are in the midst of the prose •of a practical patriotism. Wehave a Govern ment that demands fealty in return for pro tection ; that can punish with an emphasis AS marked as the kindness with which it forgives. And he perceives and accepts the reciprocal relation. It is no time to whine over losses brought on by the self-de lusion and the arrogance of the South, or to moan for the vanished ghosts of extinguished 'Treason. There may be some sanctity to IL rebel in the graves of .CALIEOtfII, ELMORE, MCDBFFIE, KEITT, BROOKS, and IlAm mom"; nurthera -to no hope for slavery in their contemplation, and abundant warning to all who may hereafter dream of raising their feeble hands against our embattled and vindicated Republic. THE MINERAL WEALTH OF 01711 NEW IVERRITORIE9. The settlement of the Territories of the United States is one of the marvels of civi lization. A few decades transformed what was known to our ancestors as the North western Territory into powerful, prosper - -011 S, and populous comnionwealthe, and made Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wiscon sin, and lowa, rivals in energy, wealth, and influence of the proudest of the old 'Thirteen Colonies. -- Rven our SOuthwest? ern Territory, although cursed with slave ry, advanced with magical rapidity. Cali fornia, under the stimulus of the gold ex citement, outstripped, in the speed of her Klevelopment, any of her sister republics. We have now reached a new and pecu liar era in the gigantic progressive move ment which has already civilized and de veloped so 'much of this magnificent con linent. The great Rocky Mountain dis trict is approached alike from the base fur nished by California and Oregon on the Pacific coast, and that faced by Nebraska,, Reuses, and Texas, and supported by the - whole tier of Atlantic States. Forbidding and formidable' in appearance, it is in re ality the most valuable and attractive por tion of our domain, and from present indi cations is destined to a more speedy and profitable development than marked the history of any other section of the Union. Neglected and disdained • here tofore on account of its rugged aspect, the difficulties of access, and the presence of hostile Indian tribes, the mighty task of commencing practically, earnestly, and energetically the extraction Of the Untold treasures locked for ages in its bosom, seems to have been providentially • reserved for this peculiar period. What has been popularly and generally described in our school books of geography as the Reeky Mountains, is, in reality, a continuation of the great mountain -chain known in South America as the Andes—the backbone of the world— the dividing line from which streams flow alternately into those two mighty cccans, the Atlantic and the Pa cific, and which in its course through our territory over 'an area of millions of square miles is as prolific in mineral wealth as the Spaniards centuries ago demonstra ted it to be in Peru and Mexico. The phy sical characteristics, geological formation, and climatic influences of this region are entirely different from those of the Atlantic States, and are in many respects more favorable to the prosperity of the human race. The pioneers of our day are called upon to mine gold and silver instead of coal andiron, and to breathe an atmosphere conducive to longevity instead of one bear ing widespread the seeds of consumption 413 r of pestilential fevers. All the preliminary labors necessary to facilitate and accelerate the work we are -describing, have already been performed. In the infancy of the Republic great expedi tions explored - the country under the guid ance of such men as LEWIS and CLARK. It has since been illustrated by the genius of FrtEistowr, and by the numerous explorers engaged by the Government at great ex pense; to survey many diverse routes for the contemplated Pacific railway, and to pub lish to the world at length the results of their researches. All this has been followed by the prompt action of Congress in,wel eoming Nevada into the Union, and in establishing territorial governments in New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Dacotah, Washington, and Arizona. That these Territories abound in mineral wealth has been proved by the substantial success of numerous miners, and by the vast stream of emigration, attracted by their favorable descriptions, now flowing to our new gold .and silver regions. Already several of them possess more than sufficient pdpula lion to entitle them to seek the rank Of States,, and in a very brief period they will all be 'mocking at the doors of Congress to ask recognition as new sovereigns. If re 'organization in the South proceeds as slowly us many apprehend, these - ate -auriferous Rocky Mountain Rephblies snay all - be receivedinto the Union before the people of the South have concluded to pur sue a just and honorable Policy, and to cont ply with the only conditions upon which they can fully'regain their old status. The difficulties of access are rapidly being re duced day by day, by the extension of rail roads from the Atlantic States and Califor hia ; bythe permanent establishment of the great overland mail line of stage coaches, and by the creation of other facilities for travel ; and only a brief period will elapse before the Pacific Railway itself will bind With an iron link San Francisco and Philadelphia.. In mining knowledge and experience we have advanced with infinitely more rapidity than any other nation. The Spaniards, in devoting so large a portion of • their attention to gold and silver mines after their discovery of America, were doubtless prompted to that species of in dustry by the success which had for cen turies rewarded the working of the mines of Spain. They made the New World the theatre of energies which they had profita bly and persistently displayed on their own soil. Our California experience created a new interest in this important branch of human labor, and increased, as it has been, by the successful working of the great gold fields of Colorado and the rich silver mines of Nevada,. we have in the aggregate an immense number of the most skillful miners of the world, ready to toil with unflagging zeal themselves, and to impart their knowledge to their in telligent fellow-citizens. A vast amount of research and ingenuity is constantly being devoted to the discovery of improved methods of separating our rich minerals from the quartz with which they are inter mingled ; and already so many improve ments have been effected that American genius is apparently destined to achieve one of its most valuable and important triumphs in this comparatively new field. We have made great advances upon the old Spanish methods ; and as we possess an inexhaustible abundance of ore of superior richness, we are on the eve of making an nual contributions of unprecedented value to the available stock . , of precious metals. In quartz mining, capital will combine with labor in hastening immediate returns, and in reaping rewards for enterprise. While this feature of the Rocky Mountain district makes it differ from the placer mining of California, it promises to greatly increase the gross product by impressing the Briarcan arms of machinery into useful service. Here, then, is the great industrial move- Meat of the day:; the tempting' field opened to our discharged soldiers, our hardy pio neers, our skillful miners, our new immi grants, and to all unemployed capital. We have half a dozen new gold and silver em pires, already founded, to cultivate and to develop. They have given repeated assu _rances of the certainty and liberality of their rewards for well-directed toil. They require but a tithe of the energy and money we expended in crushing the rebellion to supply us with more solid bullion than the war for the Union cost the nation, and to open unfailing sources of mineral wealth, that will for centuries to come enrich.the continent, and make America commercially and financially, as she is now politically, the foremost nation of the earth. THE BEWTISH ELECTIONS The election . * having ended, we can be gin to estimate the comparative strength of political parties in the new Parliament, which will probably not commence its ses sion before the first week in February. To make this estimate upon approximating data, it is necessary to go back a few years. Beaten, on the last day of Mara!, 1859, by a majority of 330 against 291 votes, on the Government Reform Bill, the DEEBY-Dis liAELI Ministry dissolved the Parliament, on the 19th of April, with the avowed pur pose of " taking the sense of the country," as ,it is called, upon the question, which which party should hold office. It was a trial fir strength, outside the walls of the Hquse of Commons. The new Parliament assMnbled on the 7th of June, 1859, and on a C d ommons' debate on the address on the Queen's speech, the DERBY Ministry were left in a minority of 13, the votes being 328 to 810. They resigned, and Lord PALMERSTON became Premier, which office he has held ever since without interruption. Early in the session of 1860 Mr. Gr,AosroNE involved the Grovernment in a great deal of unpopularity, by in creasing the income tax from five pence in the pound to ten pence; and it may be remarked that the reductions of taxation made by that ingenious gentleman, and so greatly praised by his followers, have chiefly been remissions of imposts which he had himself laid on or augmented. When he first entered office, the annual revenue was about fifty-three millions sterling; and it now is close upon seventy millions. On the first of March,. 1860, Lord Joan - Rua- SELL, in fulfilment of a promise given by the PALMERSTON Ministry, introduced a new Reform Bill, which, after having been lengthily discussed in the House of Com mons, read a second time, and even con sidered in committee, was suddenly with drawn. From that day to this the PAL mEnsTois Government have ignored reform, which the people want ; and the old national distrust of out-of-office promises, and in office non-performance, was revived. The Parliament was retained AS long as possi. ble, and its successor has now been elected. The 'Vote of want of confidence which dis solved the Derby ministry in 1859, gave thirteen, majority to the PAIarERSTON clique, but so unpopular had PALMERSTO.Zi become, that on the 3d of July a vote of censure upon Lord Chancellor WESTBURY, his colleague, was earned against him by a majority of fololeen, so that he was twenty-seven votes worse off than when he entered office. The newspaper accounts say, very , loose ly, that the result of a new election gives PALMERSTON "a net Liberal gain" of twenty-four to twenty-six. This does not correctly express the fact. It is not that in the House of six hundred and fifty-eight members, the Ministry has only twenty four votes more than the Opposition, but that they have gained so many on their opponents. Thus, if they lost a supporter in one place, they may have gained two in another. In the House of Commons, now elected, the Liberals will have a majority of less than eighty Over the Tories. It must not be supposed, however, that Lord PALuErarrow will have this majority, or any thing like it. The English journals, for the sake of conciseness, have broadly divided the members into two parties, Con servative and Liberal, briefly designated by the initials C. and L. It would be extreme folly to say that all the Liberals are to be reckoned on PALMERSTON'S side, while= it cannot be denied that the Conservatives, who constitute "Her Majesty's Opposi tion;" are against him, almost to a man. Every political party in England consists of sections, itut while the Opposition includes only the old Tories and the liberal Conser vatives, the Ministerial party, in Parliament is split up into half a dozen sections, each riding a hobby of its own, and sometimes managing that hobby so wilfully that it upsets its .friends.. Thus, in February,. 1851, the RUSSELL Ministry was severe ly injured by Mr. LOCUE KING, one of its general supporters, obtaining a heavy majority against it on the ten pound county franchise, and, precisely a twelvemonth later, was broken up .by Lord PALlfEns , ron's opposing its Local Militia bill :—thus, in March, 1857, Mr. Connau defeated the PALucusTort Ministry by car rying against it, he being a leader of the Peace party, a motion censuring the China war :—thus, in February, 1858, the same Ministry was broken up by Mr, MIL - Nun G insox , ar rying against it a vote of cen sure on the Conspiracy bill ;—and thus, on July 3, 1865, Mr. ROUVERIE, a decided Li beral, beat it, by a majority of fourteen, on the vote censuring Lord. Vlnssinunv ; but of the three hundred and sixty-seven Liberals in the new House of Commons, a great many will not only not support, but will actually oppose Lord PAimzusTot4 . • on se „veral importantrquestiohs; while the Con `Servatives, united in OppoSition;Will pick up these stray votes, and swell their own numbers with them. In the late election, whatever his numeri, eal majority, PALMERSTON has sustained some heavy blows. FREDERIC PEEL, Lord BURY, Lord ALFRED PAGET, and Colonel WHITE, high officials, have been rejected by various constituencies. Mr. GLADSTONE, turned out of Oxford, has barely been elect ed for South Lancashire, coming in last on the poll, after two Tories. Mr. Jorrw WAL TER, principal proprietor of The Tinies, has been turned out of Berks, in which county his landed estates are, and a tory elected in his place. Lord AMBEALNY, (son of Earl Rus- SELL, ) has been beaten-at Leeds by a Tory. The ultra Liberal parl7, on the'other hand, has increased its stlrength and numbers. Among those set down with the "L." to their respective names, are Mr. GOSCHEN, for London, and author of the Oxford Tests Bill ; JonE BRIGHT, for Birmingham; ROEBUCK and HADFIELD, for Sheffield; J. B. POTTER, for Rochdale, and Alderman SALOMONS, for Greenwich ; while, among the new men of that section, are MILL, for Westminster ; TORRENS, for Finsbury ; Tom HuortEs, for Lambeth; FAwcErr, for Brighton ; SAMUEL MonLEy, for Notting ham'; Su CHARLES BRIGHT, for Green wich ; Sir JOBE SIMEON, for the Isle of Wight; BARRY, for Dungarvon ; PIM, for Dublin ; AICCLAREN, for Edinburgh, and Sir ',JOHN* GRAY, of the Dublin Freeman's Journal, for Kilkenny. This ultra-liberal party, which consists of about forty members in all, will vote again 4 the PALMERSTON Cabinet on many im portant public questions—such as the' ex tension of the electoral suffrage, vote by ballot, reduction of public expenditure, in crease of nasal and military defences, taxa tion of dissenters by tithes and church rates, and so on. There will be an unusually large number of petitions against members' return, but as the gain here will probably equal the loss, no harm can be clone any way. Deducting the ultra-liberal section, whose votes may be counted as hostile on many great ques tions, it is doubtful whether Lord PALMER: sTON, when the session opens. next Febru ary, will have a worldng majority of more than ten over his opponents in the House of Commons. Thus he has gained a victory nearly as bad as it defeat. HORACE MAYNARD. This intimate friend of ANDREW JOHN soN having been elected to Congress from , the Knoxville (Tenn.) &Strict the follow ing views, which lie uttered just before his nomination, may be profitably read and remembered "A great clamor is made against negro suffrage. I do not think that a majority of the American people have determined to establish this measure unconditionally, but, if you de sire,to prevent it, hostility to the Government Will not keep it on, but, will rather hasten its establishment.: If the nation finds that all its magnanimous offers to you are in vain, and that all ifs efforts to reclaim a rebellious popu lation are in vain, it will be very apt to give suffrage to the negro population . who have all this war proved its fast and faithful friends. This measure, in the event, will be adopted as an indispensable means of establishing loyal civil governments in the South, when tile sedi tious white pOpulation refuse to submit to the laws and discharge their duties asprudent citizens. "Some of you threaten to rebel in that case. You tried that once before, when you were a great deal stronger than you are now, and you know the sad result. What will your rebellion amount tot It would only give the nation a good cause for doing what it would now avoid. As Major General Logan said in a speech the other day, 'Let them rebel again; that is just what we want!' Now, if you want to live at peace, obey the laws, and turn away from those unprincipled politicians who cry out, !Bine-bellied Yankee,' Abolitionists, 4 and !Nig.ger equality,' to get your votes. They are the tame, men who asked your before the war, how you would like to see your daughter marry a buck nigger]' "Much bas been said about the radicalism of Chief. Justice Chase's views on the subject of negro suffrage. Mr. Chase believes that as the white Unionists of the South are in the mino rity, Very largely so in many localities, it will become a matter of 'absolute necessity to en franchise the black population, which is uni versally loyal, in order tO prevent the rebels from regaining the government of their re spective States, at the ballot-box. He believes that the nation will be compelled to resort to negro suffrage for self-preservation, especially for the preservation of the white loyalists of the South. Now, the nation was not eager to resort to emancipation, but you forced a resort to that measure by obstinate rebellion. It hesitated to enlist negro soldiers, but was h forced to arnilltem by the continued rebellion of the South ; and it found that they made very good soldiers, and could shoot as well as anybody. This revolution is not yet over, and a great many of these subjugated rebels are acting, and talking , very boldly. Rest assured, if that you still defythe National Government, - the nation will be forced to think serionSly of putting the ballot into the hands of loyal ne groes, to enable them to vote down the rebel- Americanized Hotel in London. Our neighbors, on the other side of the At lantic, are very slow in adopting the improve ments which American enterprise and Inge unity are constantly making, not only in arts, science, and mechanics, but in the social com forts and luxuries which increase the pleasure of life itself. They have net yet adopted our admirable railroad ears, which are too repub lican for their aristocratical taste; but they are making some creditable attempts to im prove on their hotels, taking the American as their model. Within the last few years, seve ral magnificent hostelries, very much on the American plan, Dave been erected ih Paris, and, properly conducted, each of these has been commercially successful. We may parti cularly mention the Grand Hotel du Louvre, Rue Rivoll, opposite the palace of the Louvre, and Grand Hotel on the Boidevard des Capti chines. In one respect, these have im proved upon our - system, for the price of lodging is graduated wording to situation of the chamber occupied. Until very lately, little was done to improve tie hotels and their accommodations in Lon don. But there was lately completed and opened there the Langham Hotel, situated in Portland Place, which "visitors to London will recollect as onp of the noblest streets of that metropolis—a continuation of Regent's street up to Regent's Park, towards which the hotel looks. A little before it was formally opened, the Prince of Wales went over it, and, being a great traveller and laving much caravansarai experience, pronounced it superior to any hotel he had ever seen—that lit the Fifth Ave. nue, New York, excepted. The 'Anglian). Ho tel covers more than an acre of land, and one of its peculiar features is a spacious inner court or quadrangle, which is to form a winter garden, whereby an immense quantity of light and ventilation is secured. It is superbly fitted up and decorated, and is, architectu rally, one of the handsomest of the new pub lic edifices of London. A full-page engraving in the . llltestrated London News of July Rh, fairly shows its aspect. The structure is 150 feet high, contains eight floors and over 600 rooms and apartmenta. It has thirty differ . ent suites of apartments, each suite having private sitting roomse bed-ebam bers, dressing-room, bath-room, etc., attached. There are 300 bed rooms and 30 baths. The scd(c de manger is 100 feet long by sal. wide; the entrance hall 50 feet Square. There are Rye lifts for persons and luggage, worked by hy draulic power, and the water used in the hotel, whole 25,600 gallons a day is the con sumption, is raised out of an artesian well 300 feet deep. The cooking and warming are per formed by steam, and the ventilation is said to be admirable. The hotel is owned by a joint-stock cOmpa. ny, who had placed its management in the hands of Mr. Charles Schumann, for several years at the head of the Great Northern Hotel. One excellent feature is that a bed can be Obtained there for a moderate price—co* me - ming as low as thirty-sit cents, and, we dare say, going up much higher. This, though, for people of moderate means is ad !nimble. 'the business advertisement of the Laugharn Hotel, which appears in The _Press, may be advantageously consulted by persons who clesire to visit London. A firs&class hotel, in the best and most central part of that vast metropolis, with accommodations varying with the means or disposition of the guests, is what Americans in London have not hither to been able to find. They can have it now. PROMOTicm—Lt. -Cob William IL French, ith U. S.

" • • THE PRESS:7-PITILADELPHIX, TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1865: EDITORIAL LETTER: The Effect of the War Upon the Meta Who Have Fought in it. (From Monday's Washington Chronicle. How the 'war lute affected, the citizen who served in it is an interesting and important inquiry. That fine soldier, General Parsons, who adds to his patriotism the highest busi ness qualifications, and whose connection with the transportation of troops gave to his state ment the weight of truth, told the faculty and. scholars of Yale, at the Commencement at New Haven, last week, that Secretary Stanton had discharged and sent home, since the sur render of Lee, nearly 800,000 men. From this statement some idea may be obtained of the mighty numbers that have undergone the va ried experiences of the war, and of their direct and moral influence upontite mass of the Arne ricap population. If so many have been dis charged in so short a time, leaving, as we know, a large army behind, will not the aggregate, beginning with th e begin ning of the rebellion,. sum up 'into mil lions ? This living current, constantly changing ite form, starting from the fountains of society and of home, and then going back, as ft were, sadly diminished in volume, for re pose and recuperation, must undoubtedly work some marvellous transformations. Re garded in comparison and in connection with the spectacle of the forces of the rebellion, it is easy to predict that hencefor ward the United States will be the most formidable military Power on earth. where the same race has fought the most terrible Natio on the great est issue that ever called a people to arms, that of holding a mighty Government to free dom or consigning it to slavery for countless ages, their posterity will surely imitate their fathers. I have no fear of the moral herveet. The conquest of Truth will not end with the physical battle-field. Our children will all be Abolitionists, and the South will be the home of genuine freedom and Christianity. The effect of the war upon the men who have served in it is worthy of observation. That- mans" return turbulent, quarrelsome, full of mischief, and desperate, is true; but all such were at least as reckless when they enlisted. Do not let us forget that the war was a terri ble attraction, and, in some cases, a glad alter-. native to hosts of adventurers—nor that at was not expected to reform or even to mode rate bad passions. But it rescued thousands from the depravity in which they must have perished had they not been tempted into that great human school-house. I know of many a neighborhood pest and bully that rushed into the ranks for a change, or a chance at doing better, who has come back a welcome and ex emplary prodigal. .Why may not the lessons and, if you please, "the conscience of the fight," have done their work upon him as upon others less offending and more susceptible? And, in connection with this thought, it is clear to my vision that the politicians have made a sad mistake in supposing that the fighting men have -not also been the thinking men of our country. Retribution will as suredly punish this blunder. Tile men who offer their lives for their country have a right to know "the reason why." And in the many pauses of the storm of strife —the hours and days of rest that come to the rank and file, on picket, at the bivouac, and in the friendly talks in strange regions, meeting new people, with new nrejudices habits, and ideas—the exchange and the attrition of opinions is as natu ral as any of the offices of life. Did you ever note hotv much information the sailor gathers in his trips to foreign lands? And yet his home is mostly on the untracked' and soli tary deep, and his sight and taste of shore few and far between. The Union soldier, moving onward with steady tramp, meeting men and women he never dreamed of meeting before, hearing all sorts of complaints, accusations, and predictions; to-day a suffering prisoner in sonic nagseous rebel den; to-morrow the commander of his recent captor and eV rant—such a man must be a dunce indeed if he does_ not find himself gathering know; ledge with every hour. He is like the Printer at his composing stand, or the re porter who takes down the weighty words Of some cool and thoughtful mind—he ac quires In spite of himeelf. And every col_ titer laden with these stores of experience, delights in retailing them to his companions, his friends, his children, and the happy home circle where he has so long been hoped for, prayed for, looked for, and where he is now BO honored and distinguished a - guest. As pass along our streets in the evening, I see groups gathered around some young soldier, too often maimed for life, listening to and drinking in his anecdotes of the war. How patient they are as he talks, and how proud of him ! for eneli feels as if he had taken stock in the young " veterane] Many of these men call upon me (luting the day for objects of their own. They are surprisingly apt, intelligent, and well-balanced fellows. Their soldiering has given them new views, individually and nation ally. Many came home, after being mustered Out, only to prepare to go back and settle In tile South. Yesterday, for instance, I eneOuns tered a "four-year-old' Reserve, who was going back to Savannah to begin business among the men he had known before the war. Another has settled at Newbern, N. C., to deal in turpentine, rosin, tar; &a. .A:printer writes', tome to get Mr. Stanton to let him off for the six months he has to serve, that he may esta blish a Union paper at Winchester, vs.: The engineers and locomotive builders who intend to return to the South, after arranging their business at home, would make a brigade of themselves. The exodUS of the colored people Southward is very remarkable. It would be it fair estimate to say that the sixty thousand colored population of Pennsylvania have re ceived few permanent additions since the war began and since President Lincoln issued his immortal Proclamation. Among the results of The war, that of destroying or moderating sectional, party, and personal prejudices may be enumerated. The Union soldier, has no hate for "Johnny Rebe] as he calls him. He despises leadeis like Davis, Breckinridge, and Buckner, because these men should heye restrained instead of having rushed the see tions into war. The strongest feelings are those against Winder (since dead,) the brute who had Libby Prison in charge ; Northrup, the rebel Commissary General ; and the unparalleled savage, Wertz, who kept the gates of the Andersonville pest holleee I Perceive that General Cox, the Union candidate for Governor of Ohio, wake of the animosity of our troops to the negro. Other generals that I have conferred with do not second this opinion. If it exists, it is probably the offspring of the sentiment of fraternity be tween the Union and the rebel privates. But time will certainly cure it. We have only to mark the surprising success of the Colored man in securing the advantages of civil life, to set the limit to these unjust and cruel preju -dices. It cannot be that a brave andjust people will continue to be controlled by u - hat is at best a borrowed hatred. In the South the slave was never hated—it was only the free. black. And it is a 11101)*trOua ' paradox that we of the free States should refuse, after betak ing the chains of the slave, at 'the same time to break the chains of a. ' , prejudice so unworthy. Nothing has impressed me more favorably, however, than the mo desty of the Union soldiers in asking office. I have referred to the fact that millione have taken part in the great struggle, and yet few are candidates for place. In the recent com petition for the Federal patronage here, but one active and prominentofficer in the great battles asked for recognition, and more than thirty thousand men were sent from Philadel phia to swell the Union column. I observe similar indisposition to seek place in other pectione. But the politicians must not be de ceived. If these brave men do not themselves . solielt office, the people, who revere and honor them, - will gee that they are cared for. And it is, my hope that the Union party of the United States will prove to have splendidly acquitted itself, and to have surpassed all others in its spontaneous, generosity to the defenders and saviors of our free institutions.

Though all such force less less" innocents" deserve the pity? and receive the contempt of every old settler; still, for his consolation, (especially if he .has a little of the emigration fever, but is chilled by the lumbering,) lam hound - to tell him that lum ber tit not the onlymateriai of which buildings are made in Texas. Neither is, it the best, nor the cheapest. If one builds of lumber, it is usually because he has a fancy for a frame house, and is willing to pay for what he ; fait= cies. Many parts of the State have building mate rials peculiar to themselves. Washington is built of red brick, burned from its own clay; Seguin, from concrete composed of the sand, gravel, and lime, that are abundant at its doors; Spanish San Antonio of adobes, struck from the clay beneath its foundations; Inde pendence, from the limestone blocks and chips with which its hills abound; and Anstin of the soft white stone cut from the bluffs 'of the Colorado and Onion, and fashioned into form by the saws and planes of its workmen. These are but specimen localities selected, and their different materials arc found scat tered over the State. Bricks are probably made M a hundred localities. 'Limestone is the foundation of the State, and sand and gravel are no rarities. But were all these to fail in any given loeatiOn, ten to one, the post Oak opening stands there as a friend in need, and offers its straight, solid; and durable bodies as good substitutes for everything else. And thus provided, a couple of men with bandy axes, in it:few days can put up a good glged block house, that when chinked,. pins tered, and nicely whitewashed, giVett all - the convenience and comfort; and when over grown-with.vines. and smiling in flowers, has snore of the picturesque and beautiful than residences of ten times more pretensiont and cost. ' • But, perhaps, when the limestone, the sand, the gravel, the soft atone, and the brick•yards are neither of them at band, the post oak may just then refuse to stretch out its rescuing arms—and what then? It is the experience of an extensive observation that there is scarcely any'nntihabered region - of any extent, a per- Um - Of which is not underlaid by some kin.d PuitANiimpuut, August 5,1 P OTHER BUILDING MATERIAL or clay, it may ye iotat, to burn.brlokfrom— perhavi blue, yellOw,Or joint ; still, making good adobes. So, when nothing else is to be bad, let the settler open a olaypit, (as the Mexicans did of yore, and do still,) tread cut straw or grass into the stiff mortar, strike out adobes about six by ten inches in size, set them in the sun, and when well dried, build up the Walla of his house, covering them with a roof that extends three or four feet beyond them, and a hundred years hence his descendants may be inhabiting the same mansion, still thankful for the labors Of their ancestor. It is surprising how durable are some of the apparently frailest materials. These sun burned bricks, so easily broken and crumbled to pieces, need the evidences of experience to give us faith in their ability to withstand the wear and tear of years. And in the old Spa nish possessions, wherever the Jesuit prieSts have left their tracks behind them, these evi dences, ancient and time-stained, are still giving their testimony. The old mission houses, with their long, low, sombre 'chapels, around which, a century or two ago, the hooded monks gathered their Indian converts, and taught them the faith and follies of Spain, Were often built of unburned clay; and, having withstood the storms of the many seasons that lie between those days and the . se, arc still remaining, with their tiled floors, now seamed, sunken, and worn ; their open roofs, spider-webbed, (May and area; and their precious old altar-pieces, begrimed and torn,as the eloquent monuments not only of the durability of the homely material of which their walls were erected, but of the un faltering energy and tenacious faith of the rude Old 6, Fathers" who reared them. But more suggestive still are they as monumental piles, standing to tell the utter ruin and ex tinction of an entire race of men By one race, before it hardly had a foothold upon the new shores, and few and trembling, they were built to civilize and Christianize another— and that other numerous as the stars, and owning and occupying the whole land, from ocean to ocean. . The new race, since then, has crept from shore to shore, and left its cross-capt spires on every road it has travelled. While that old, Magnificent people, who might have crushed it out beneath the weight of. the MOWS of a single tribe, have sensitively shrunk away be fore its villainy and its religion, alike, till both themselves and their altars are perishing from the land. But, 'from Jesuits, missions, and red-men, turn we to present Texas, know ing full well by Many a past experience, that if once fairly among these relies and ruins of a past time, (whose beat historians they are,) our wanderings will be too long, and our thoughts too singular for the short, staid pages of The Press. • If the reader has carefully followed my pen, he can take the map of Texas in hand, and draw lines for himself, marking otr the ditrec_ ent productive divisions into which its soil and climate have cast it. Ile will at once see within'what limits, as an immigrant, he would desire to settle. Whether as a sugar grower, upon the gulf and among the canebrakes, where alligators wilt-guard the pigs, and the snakes the chickens; where - the mosquitos and black dies will contrive to do the billing and cooing of the whole faintly ; 'and the ague of its own accord - will shake all the limbs that are not upon the trees; where the only offsets are beautiful flowers, delicious fruits, and "heaps of money or, as a cotton-grower in the middle counties and along the river bot toms ; or still higher up, as a farmer at large; or still farther out in the West, as the hunter of "cattle upon a thousand hills i" or the tender of sheep, with dog, and seep, and crook. But he may find himself inquiring, who would be his neighbors in either easel and thinking that that, perhaps, might influence his choice of roads into Texas. I will suppose the clues' tion whispered in my ear; and since it is not unlatulably curious, nor saucily inquisitive, I will tell him WHO LIVES THERE. • And, first, there aro two races that turn up everywhere. Like spice in a pie, they flavor the whole. They are the sons of Abraham, and the universal Yankee. The Jew, with his Cheap John store, his peddler's pack, his knavery, and his "monish," is in every city and on every road, doing his share of lying and cheating the world, while waiting for destiny to be fulfiled, and the tribes to return to Jerusalem ; while in no new town or vil lage on this continent where the English lan guage is half spoken can a visitor drop into a parsonage, a law office, a doctor's room, a school-house, a railroad depot, or a shop, with out standing more than even chances that he finds a Yankee making himself at home there. And if he chance to be struck with the idea that the Yankees are all professional charac ters, he has only to disabuse his mind by taking a trip among the rest of the world, and he will find some of the sane genus moulded into every class he meets. He seems equally at bottle in the pulpit and the field, at the bar and the desk, on the ranch and the river. He ellmbe as high and burrows as low as humani trims learned to go; and,. of course, is per feetlyat honie inTexas. It used tobe an old southern notion that Yankees'were all peddlers, with wooden clocks and nutmegs . to sell ; and, though cute at a trade, sneaks, and desolate at heart, with neither spirit to resent an insult nor courage to chastise it. But the world has grown wiser since; and I have witnessed a few " inte. resting *cones,!' in which the chivalry have had their respect wonderfully increased—if not for the Yankee's religious turn of mind and meek and peaceful disposition, at any rate for his readiness for a quarrel and perfect ability to take care of himself and his own affairs. But, the Yankee and Jew aside, we &Abe to particular& The settlers upon the sugar lands are largely from Louisiana, and have come to Texas for cheaper lands than those they left behind them. A traveller through Eastern Texas and the middle coun ties would recognize in almost every neigh borhood the expreSSiolla peculiar to half a dozen of the other Cotton States ; and, were he to ask the negroes upon any plantation where they came from, he would be likely to be told, from all the lower Southern States. These men have nearly all come in overland, and brought their families, their negroes, cattle, horses, mules, hogs, farming-tools, and customs along with them. They moved for more room and better pay, and have almost universally met with good fortune to pay them for their pains. In travelling through the northern and a part of tine western portion of the State (the grain region,) one is struck by the Change in its inhabitants even more than by the change of soil and scenery. It is an intermixture of northern and western men, and of Missourians and Arkansas men, with a fair sprinkling of foreigners from every European State. After crossing the Gaudalute, and getting into western. Texas proper, or the "stock lands," northern men and Germans aro mostly in, the ascendant. The Germans, however, occupy a sort of intermediate territory be tween the grain and the stock, embracing the New Brawnfels and Fredericksburg region ; where, in virtue of good fanning and partial irrigation, they contrive to compel good crops, whether nature is willing or no. Bravery Rewarded. It will be remembered that several letters were received hy. General Grant last winter ti - om individualg in different seetiOnS of the Country, enclosing small sums of money to be given as a reward to the first person in the military service of the United States who should _plant the stars and stripes over the city of Richmond. 'The following letter from Gen. Grant explains the disposition made of the money : HEADQUARTERS Amass OE THE UNITED STATES, W ASH iimrox, July 22,1365, 2b Sergeant David W.

Wash burne's oration at Portland, on the Fourth of July, contains the following. • "And that no example might be wanting to illustrate the gefieneracy of the times and the perfidy of the public men, who at sueh aperiOd could alone occupy the highhiees of power, it was found that an administration of the people's choice, and representing what ap peared to be the average s opinion and senti ment of the country, hd deliberately set itself to the work, in concert with open trai tors;of betraying and destroying the Govern- Mont it had been appointed and sworn to pre serve: And so well were its plans laid for the accomplishment of this flagitious purpose that they could scarcely have failed, if not to ac complish the end designed, still to have pro• duced such complications, and given the re hellion such additional advantages, as would have • rendered the preservation of the Union, if possible, a matter of Vastly greater difileulty and cost than it haB been, had it not been for one of those fatal blunders, which, under the overruling hand of Providence, men engaged in wicked enterprises are so apt to make. We tremble when we think that the salvation of the nation's prestige and honor, if not of its life, and of the cause of free government everywhere, depended upon the accident, as it seemed, of the aceeosion, in the winter of 1861, of Edwin , ill, Stanton to the Cabinet' of President Buchanan. He made himself at once the ruling spirit and the directing power of that false but weak Administration; and by his own personal strength, which was as the strength of ten,' by his - his iron will and his sublime devotion, averted that monstrous crime, that unutterable disgrace, and that last calamity-disunion by consent of the govern. dent itself."

The petition says: "The Common Council of the city of Peters. burg most respectfully represent to your Ex cellency, that for several years previous to the war, the United States dovernment and the City of Petersburg expended a large amount of money in deepening and otherwise improv ing the Appomattox river for a distance of about seven miles, to deep water, and had so far succeeded as to admit vessels drawing ten feet water to come up to our wharves. During the war the military authorities obstructed the channel—Ant, by sinking arks mica with rock and sand,itt a point about six miles below the city ; secondly, by constructing a tempo rarErailroad bridge across the river. "These works caused bars to form in the channel, so that at present vessels of very light draft only pass through. Several rail roads centering in this city are being rapidly repaired, and will soon be in running order. it is, therefore, very desirable that the chan nel of the river should be restored to its former depth and width as speedily as possible, so that produce arriving here may be shipped at the least expense and delay, and thereby relieve the_pressing necessities of our people. "The citizens of Petersburg, not being in a financial condition to incur the expense, Or any portion of it, most respectfully ask that the Government cause these obstructions and liars tote removed.

We intend no reflection upon the proprietorship of the Philadelphia Press or the Washington Chronicle by denying it, nor do we feel any indignation or any sent ment but of contempt at the charge. But as the fact is not so, as there is no shadow of truth in the charge, as the story is false and slanderous, why does the News adopt and give voice to the falsehood i What earthly interest has the News in the circulation of a slander What possible inducement can it have for the assertion of an absolute lie?

In these mercenary days of money getting it is refreshing to learn of occasional acts of dis interested benevolence for worthy objects. An association of wealthy persons in New York have commenced erecting a block of twenty four cheap houses in the opposite town of .liamsburg, within about live minutes' tisalk of the ferry, in a good, airy, and: healthful lo cality.

It is intended to sell tlum at lhe Soil, to worthy applicants, or to rent them at simple interest on the outlay. This laudable effort is merely preliminary.

The Commerciat LW, of this city, has the fol lowing sensible remarks on the folly of de pending upon foreign markets for quotations for our Own. loans: ive do not like the idea that the values of United BMUS GOYernment stocks are to be dependent upon sales at the London Stock Exchange; and yet it is becoming apparent that our stock brokers are depending entirely too much on British quotations. Tb.e amount of United States Government loans held in Europe is very small in comparison to the issues. There are not enough of them held in England to affect in any manner their value at home.' Our own citizens hold hun dreds of millions of dollars worth of them, and we know precisely what the prospects are of the payment of interest and of their ultimate redemption. In England there is not a proper knowledge of these circum stances. During the war, while we of the loyal States were perfectly satisfied of our ability to carry on the war and end it tri umphantly, British prejudice was so strong against our cause, that the Confederate loan was sold at much higher prices than the loans of the United States. The latter were, indeed, in the British stock market, lower in supposed value than the loans of Turkey, and other countries which were notoriously upon the brink of insolvency. ACellrate.linauctal know ledge of the condition of the United states was not sought in London; all that was promul gated in reference to our affairs was the result of prejudice,which indulged in a depreciating policy. There is no likelihood that a better feeling now exists toward us. The misrepre sentations and falsehoods of the rebel emis saries still continue to influence the English stock market. The holders of Confederate bonds lose no oppretilnitT to depreciate our securities by the promulgation Of Slanderous statements. If we are to regulate our own ideas of the worth of our Government pledges by accepting the opinions of a country inimi cal to us, we are manifesting a sad want of that national independence which was formerly our boast.
