The Greatest Wonder of the Age The
Kerolullou In the Mouth.
From the Herald.
The Southern political tour of Senator Wil
son, of Massachusetts, inaugurated at Orange
Court House, Virginia, on Saturday last, in
liis opening speech there to the Macks in be
half 'of the Republican party, and continued
in his speech Monday evening, to six thousand
Americans of African descent, marks a new
chapter in the history of our political parties.
The Republican leaders are becoming some
what anxious as to the drift of the Southern
negro vote they have created as a political
balance of power; and Senator Wilson is but
the pioneer of a host of Republican orators
who will soon enter the Southern fields as
reapers of this inviting harvest. But it is evi
dent, from the letters of our attentive cor
respondents in all the Southern States, that
the Republicans will not gain this Southern
black vote without a struggle; that the saga
cious loaders of the ruling Southern white
class will make a vigorous light to bring about
a iusion of Southern whites and blacks, land
owners and laborers, as in a common cause,
and that to this end the late Southern white
master will not hesitate to meet Lis black
fellow-citizens, lately his slaves, on the plat
form laid down by Congress the political
equality of whites and blacks.
Of all the wonders of the niueteentli century
the most astounding and the most gratifying
is this wonderful revolution universally inau
gurated in the South under the decisive re
construction laws of Congress. A mighty
revolution was effected by the late war for the
Union in the total abolition of African slavery;
for this was the removal of the foundations
upon which the whole superstructure of the
social, religious, and political institutions of
the late slave States rested. Reconstruction,
upon the basis of universal liberty and civil
and political equality, thus became inevitable;
but from the beginning to the end of Presi
dent Johnson's half-way experiments it was
made manifest that even for generations to
come, so long as there were any reservations
of discretion left to the ruling whiteclass of the
Rebel States, those States would be held back
under the hope of a restoration of the old
order of things at least to the extent of a re
construction on the old civil and political dis
tinctions of race and color.
15ut Congress has solved the problem. From
Virginia to Texas there i3 an active, earnest
movement among the Southern whites in re
cognition of the civil and political equality of
the blacks. It is a revolution casting out
those fixed ideas of two hundred years' growth
those ideas resulting from negro bondage
upon which the Federal Constitution was
founded, and upon which the Government
has been administered for three-quarters of a
century. Is not this great revolution in
Southern ideas the most remarkable of all the
revolutions in the history of mankind ? In
the Oriental nations, and in Greece and Rome,
the transition from the restraints of slavery to
the equalities of freedom was easy, because
Blavery was not marked by the enduring badge
of color. The same may be said of the emanci
pation of the serfs of Russia. Hut American
slavery, limited to the negro, and resting upon
the religious belief of the negro's divinely
appointed subjection as a slave to the white
man, is a totally different thing. Still with
us, even yet, in nearly all the Northern States,
political distinctions against the negro, re
sulting from negro slavery in the South, more
or less prevail.
AU these things considered, we can hardly
helieve the reports of our correspondents or
the evidence of our senses touching this won
derful revolution in Southern ideas. Thus,
for example, stands General Wade Hampton,
of South Carolina, a disfranchised leader of
the Rebellion, pleading the old abolition plea
of "liberty, equality, and fraternity" to a
meeting of blacks, who only the other day
were his absolute slaves, and regarded by
himself as divinely placed under his sovereign
will and pleasure as their lord and master.
Neither suffering nor policy could work such
a change single-handed; but where helpless
ness, necessity, and sound policy combine,
even those old Southern inborn ideas, inherited
with a thousand negro slaves ideas which :
have survived a four years' disastrous war for
the sovereign rights of slavery, are vanquished
and dismissed.
General Wade Hampton represents the in
terests of the Southern landholders against
Senator Wilson and the interests of the Re
publican party. As the content goes on, the
lines dividing the future political parties of
the South will begin to appear, and the ten
dencies of the negro vote. At present it seems
to be drifting to the Republican camp, and
under Borne vague notion that confiscation is
to crown the work of emancipation, but when
this fallacy is dispelled, as it must be, the
Southern negro will take a clearer view of his
political policy, and will shape his course
accordingly. Meantime it will be intensely
interesting to watch thy developments of this
new political era in the South, and its reaction
upon our political parties in the North.

How hard it is satisfactorily to name a baby
is well enough known to Paterfamilias and his
Amiable lady. It is a matter of taste, an affair
of diplomacy, a question of euphony, in which
the party principally interested has, unfortu
nately, no voice, and may be rendered misera
ble for life by the baptismal indiscretions of
his begetters. As it is with brand-new in
fants, so it is with frenhly acquired territory;
and we are not at all astonished to hear that
Mr. Seward is puzzled to determine by what
name to call his glaciers, icebergs, and rock-
ribbed acres. Congress will have to settle the
matter; hut a recommendation from Mr. Sec
retary would co a ereat way with both
Houses. A cood name, as the acute Shake
speare observes, is an immediate jewel;
and however easy it may be to title a
hamlet, and to call a house, a bam, a black
emith'8 shop, and a grocery, Rome or Athens,
Carthage or Palmyra, the naming of a Terri
tory ,1s a matter of more difficulty. Voyagers
liave frequently bestowed oeocraphical appel
lations which are mournfully suggestive, such
as Point Famine, Headman's Inland, or Cape

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
vise Mr. Seward to go up and take a private
view lefore deciding, were we not approhon
stve that he would bo frozen to death before
lie could be starved to death, and bo ba sent
home harder even than lie is now, to be
exhibited in a glass case in the department.
He would find an immense field for ingeuuity,
the only productive crop probable in those
parts, and every facility for making mint
juleps except mint and peach brandy, sugar,
spoons, and other trifles. In his present
botheration, however, we are glad to notice
that he has the help of the newspapers, and
may yet come out of his trouble with lucky
felicity. Some of these journals are all for a
Russian name something ending in "ski,"
and dangerous to unsophisticated American
jaws. One editor, of whose monarchical pro- I
clivities we are ashamed, proposes to call
the desert " after one of the Russian
Czars," forgetting that the insult might be
made a casus belli, or, at any rate,
cost us the good-will of the Muscovite mon
arch, whoso wrath might be extreme at finding
that, though rid of the property, the fact of his
previous ownership was to be historically per
petuated. Some are for calling this howling
wilderness "Columbia," but besides being a
name general to the whole country, the
Britishers have their "Columbia," and it
would bo cruel by an unnecessary repetition
to distract the brains of the school-classes in
geography, who, what with British Columbia,
and Spanish-American Colombia, and our old
established Columbia, and tho District of
Columbia, to say nothing of "Hail Columbia,"
might be Hogged within an inch of their
blighted lives for making confusion worse con
tounded. No; another Columbia will never
do. "Asiaua" has been proposed, and if it
could be always pronounced "Ass-iana," this
name would have a moral bearing, and might
be a useful reminder to future generations
with plenty of money, and with a passion for
collecting glaciers. "Asiana" is, no doubt, a
clumsy piece of verbal joinery; but, per
haps, barbarous regions deserve no bet
ter than barbarous titles. With respoct to the
highly respectable constellation so called, we
would offer the name of "Ursa Major," out f
compliment to the grizzlies, but as we are not
certain that Mr. Seward will not be buying
that whole cluster of seven golden stars before
he goes out of office, we refrain from urging
our amendment. "Terra Incognita" would be
good, if it were English, and especially proper,
inasmuch as one man swears that the new pur
chase is a New-Canaan, with rivers of milk and
with mountains of honey, while others aver
that the little busy bee could not live in the
neighborhood, to say nothing of the fodder
loving cow. As we know rather more
of Central Africa than we do of this mys
terious land, we would postpone the bap
tism until we discover what the
bantling is like, which will be when Mr.
Seward has plodded his weary way up there,
and hoisted the American ilag upon the North
Pole, to the intense delight of the frisky walrii3
and the meditative whale. Of course, he will
make a speech. There will be nobody to hear
it except the monsters of the deep, and of the
ice-floe; but if St. Anthony preached to the
fishes, why should not Mr. Seward hold forth
to the bears 1 Being the only inhabitants, he
might promise these animals the right of suf
frage, upon condition of their not eating him;
and as he would not be in very good case after
his meanderings, even the hungriest bears
might prefer a vote to such victuals. We
should; but still it is a matter of taste.
With the best intentions in the world, we
believe that we have thrown no light upon
this tenebrilicous subject. The longer we
look at it the darker it grows. There seems
to be but one way of settling the matter, and
that is to leave the territory altogether alone
in its gloomy grandeur and sublime isolation,
with the bears growling, and the wolves howl
ing, and the icebergs cracking, and the aurora
streaming, and Mr. Seward in nine frieze over
coats calling the elements to order and pro
claiming American sovereignty.
Our Gold and Silver Resources Why la
Alining Unprofitable!
Front the Timet.
There are some curious anomalies in the
business of mining for the preciou3 metals,
and they are admirably illustrated iu Mr. J.
Ross Browne's report to the Secretary of the
Treasury on the mineral resources of the
States and Territories west of the Rocky
Mountains. An approximate estimate shows
the annual product of the Paoifio slope to be
in excess of $100,000,000. California's share
of contribution to this aggregate has been, for
the last four years, about one-third of the
whole amount, although in 1851, when the
I vast inilux of prospectors and panners had
brought the productiveness of her shallow
"diggings" to its culmination, her yield was
U5, UOO,O00. Since that time the placers, the
source of two-thirds of the gold product, have
steadily decreased in profitable working, and
although the quartz interest has proportion
ably increased and is rapidly bringing itself
into a condition of regularity and trustworthi
ness, yet the gold product of the State has
grown less every year. We had a vivid ex
emplification of the importance of our annual
gold crop during the commercial and financial
crisis in Europe last fall, when, within sixty
days, San Francisco exported 12,000,000 in
hard gold and silver to sustain American credit
and its English holders. Not only so, but
there is a striking tact which it is hard to
realize, that the product ot precious metals
for last year on our W estern coast exceeds all
the gold and silver in the JNational lruasury
and in all the banks of all the States, although
it was less than for many years before.
But, notwithstanding the impression of
wealth we get from conning over these state
ments, the production of all this bullion has
not been a source oi much pront to the men
whose capital and labor brought it forth.
Indeed, the proportion oi caiitornia miners
who have acquired fortunes is much less than
that of Illinois larmers. mis may to Borne
extent, perhaps, be accounted for by the rise
r 1 ... I il... .'lt..., ..nit nf tl... it!. !
i real estate in me aiaicn a mo mmauun,
but tho same principle holds good in California
usen. The internal revenue returns snow
that, outside of the cities, the majority of large
incomes are rather in the agricultural than the
mining districts, and this when the mining
interests arj far less pressed upon by taxation
umn me ianning.
There have be
re have been various reasons Ior this
strange state of affairs. The most obvious
was the unsettled and shitting character of
the mining population; and, in its turn, that
was pruuutibu not on v bv the abnormal ex
citement of gold hunting and the ..mercurial
disposition of the adventurers to rush in any
direction aftur the merest rumo of a trace of
gold, but also by the uncertain tenure by
which they held their claims. No man could
own his mine except by the imperfeot and
shaky title of custom and miners' regulations
Hence there was no desire to cultivate or im
prove the land, except Just so far as was ab
solutely necessary to sustain life and ' to make
milliner appliances effective. That difficulty
hai been now removed, and the law passed
by. Congress last summer will do more for
California and the mineral West, by providing
good titles and permanent interests among
the people, than if it had given them millions
of dollars.
The other, and perhaps the main obstacles
to success in mining, are inherent in the pur
suit itself, and will be so long as mining
meann "speculation" instead of "business."
It is difficult, at the start, to get a really good
claim. If the property has been opened and
proved, it is held at a "fancy price." If it is
undeveloped, its "indications" may be followed
by thousand of dollars and years of labor, and
prove barren in the end. But look at the
numberless mines really rich in precious metal
that have come to naught. Of over $70,000,000
of silver extracted from Nevada mines not one
third returned to the capitalists whose money
bad paiil for the property, the machinery, and
the labor, and sustained untold "assess
ments." In California it has lieen the same.
When the placers began to be left for the
more enduring and steady quartz veins,
many email but exceedingly rich claims
were owned by combinations of two
of three partners only. Then the expenses
were directly and economically administered,
the chances, and, indeed, the motives for
peculation were wanting, and a combination
of small capital and hard work brought a
legitimate return of steady, sure (and often
enormous) profit. Then began the company
furor. The temporary productiveness of the
mines brought about liuge incorporations,
vast stock capitals, inflated prices, and ex
travagant notions of prospective value. Single
"feet" in some few mines, originally costing
two or three dollars, paid monthly dividends
of from $300 to $.r)00, and commanded prices
from $,r00 to $15,000. On the strength of these
results, over excitement set in, undue specu
lation followed in new and untried mines,
wild extravagance was the order of the day
among the company officers; splendid offices,
costly furniture, expensive "improved" ma
chinery, and all the long list of follies brought
their natural result. We need not look all
the way to California for the effects. We are
here in the same plight, and there is many a
man who can testify to the truth of the fore
going picture.
A notable example of it is a well-known
mine in Nevada, which, under the cautious
and economical management of its four origi
nal owners, paid at the rate of $20,000 per
month. Of course it must be sold to a com
pany. It was thus sold, and the company
managed iu two years' time to spend $2!l!l,0iH
upon it, to take nothing out, and finally to
so wind themselves up that the property
passed out of their hands into the control of
a lew practical men who were able to buy up
its bonds and get the wholo thing into their
own power. Within two months after the
second change, the sensible administration of
the few managers who were directly interested,
produced a yield of f(!7,O00 from tho "played
out" mine.
The fault, generally, is not so much in the
mines, then, as iu the miners or rather the
mine-owners, who subscribe vast sums of
money to be frittered away by incompetence
and extravagance, or pocketed by downright
peculation. Combined capital is one of the
levers of the modern world, but it must be
applied to mining, just as to every other en
terprise, in a practical, economical, judicious,
and business-like manner, or capitalists will
find that their money has been worse than
wasted, and their falsely named "enterprise"
will biing no return.
France and Prussia.
From the Trimei.
We have at length an official statement from
the French Government in regand to the ne
gotiations with Holland respecting the cession
of Luxembourg. On the 8th inst. the Marquis
de Moustier, in reply to questions from seve
ral deputies, announced in the Corps Lt'gis-
latif that the Government had brought to the
consideration of this matter "thoughts only
of conciliation and peace." France had not
raised the question of her own accord. At
tracted by the undecided position of Luxem
bourg, France made several unofficial commu
nications on the subject to Holland, when the
Dutch Cabinet indiscreetly let out the secret
to Prussia. This gave the question an inter
national character, and introduced elements
which France would have been glad to keep
in the background until the purchase could
have been quietly arranged and actually con
summated. Prussia answered the revelations
of the Dutch Cabinet by an appeal to the
treaty of 1831), and thus blocked the little
game which the Emperor of France was so
quietly playing. Upon this Napoleon assures
the world that in casting his eyes upon the
convenient Duchy he always kept in view the
consent of Holland, the examination of tho
treaties of the great powers, and the wishes of
the inhabitants of Luxembourg, who were to
be allowed the privilege of deciding, by uni
versal suff rage, whether they would be sold to
France or join the North German Confederacy.
As France is Btill willing to abide by these
views, and to examine the question in concert
with the other great powers, the Marquis de
Moustier, speaking for his imperial master,
believes that the peace of Europe cannot be
disturbed.
This is the official view of- the situation.
We find, however, that the French papers,
as a general rule, see the matter in a less
favorable light, and are inclined to regard
war as not improbable. La France, admits
that the time may come when the Emperor
may be compelled to vindicate the national
dignity against the obstinate refusal of the
German States to grant the guarantees to
which France may consider herself entitled.
Another journal, which has never favored tho
annexation of the Duchy, takes tho same tone.
The question, it says, is no longer one of
territorial aggrandizement, but one of national
.1! 5 T.fl . . 1. i il'..u.l
dignity aim lnimence. franco cannot aim
to put forward pretensions and renounce
them at the bidding of another power. To
do bo would be to announce her own downfall
from the first rank anion'' nations to a lower
position than Spain ever occupied. Having
taken a positive staud in regard to Luxem
bourg, she must maintain it at all hazards.
The Duchy must be evacuated by Prussia,
or war must ensue. These are the conclu
sions reached bv the Frenth Tinners. UP to
our latest dates bv mail, and thev accord with
the uncertainty and apprehension felt in the
commercial circles of Europe. We have had
intimations, by Atlautio Telegraph, of a plan
submitted to the consideration of Franco and
1 mania by the other great powers, to secure
the peaceful settlement of the question. As
Napoleon has signified his willingness to
accept the propositions embraced in this plan,
t is to be presumed that they afford him faci
lities for covering hU retreat from a position
where, except for this friendly assistance, he
must either fight or surrender. It is appa
rent that t rance does not wish to light, and
that she will not fight, except for the pw
, Bervatiou of her national dignity and hur rank
as a . European power. The French oare
nothing for Luxembourg.but they care'a great
deal for glory and national lienor; 'and if
Prussia Bhould. persist in holding on to the
Duchy iu the face of Napoleon's represouta-
tionsand demands, they will throw themselves
into a war with as much enthusiasm as if it
were for a chosen cause.
Horace Ureelejr Hen.
From the World. '
It is rash U infer from the ease with which
a roan can walk the tight-rope on his toes
that he is competent to edit the works of
Lactantius. General Sheridan snatched vio-
tory from the jaws of defeat in tho Valley o
the Shenandoah, but it does not therefore fol
low that he could write a threnody on the
death of the late lamented Lincoln fully equal
in poetic merit to the ode of Dryden on Alex
ander's Feast. It used to be said of the Bos-
toniaus that their belief in the capacity of
Daniel Webster would have made them acuui-
esce in his election to supersede Fanny EUsler
as the leaaer oi a uaiict; and it is cer
tain that, since the death of tho great
expounder of the Constitution, the
bnme intelligent citizens have reached
the point of thinking that Charles Sumner
could have made a better speech than lie in
reply to the oration of Colonel Hayne. When
we see the Republicans of New York nominat
ing the author of the "Potiphar Papers" to a
post which would have called out the best
powers of Chancellor Kent, and proposing to
pair Mr. A. J. II. Dnganne with William M.
Evarts in the revision of the fundamental
law of a Commonwealth inhabited by four
millions of the busiest and most prosperous
of the Anglo-American race, we are forcibly
reminded of the importance of recalling men
to the simple pomological fact that
apples do not grow on willow trees nor
pears on pumpkin vines. That "some
things can be done as well as others" is an
ancient and fish-like, but perfectly respect
able axiom; yet it is an axiom just as
ancient and just as respectable, that it is
perilous to call upon the cobbler for work
unfamiliar to his last. Here, for example, is
Mr. Horace Greeley, whose success as an editor
cannot be properly questioned, and whose
turnips, we believe, are, iu the average, very
fair specimens of the results of genius concen
trated upon ruta-baija. But, no longer ago
than the 15th of Octolier, lStili, Mr. Horace
Greeley dropped his pen and threw away his
hoe, and, pluming himself upon some pre
sumed faculty of incubation, made his bow to
the public in the character of a hen. The
nominations of the Republican party for the
State Legislature of New York having, at
that date, been made, Mr. Horace Greeley
came out in the Tribune and declared them a
great improvement upon the nominations of
previous years. "Some excellent members of
the last House," said Horace Greeley, "have
declined a re-election; but many good men
have been nominated in their stead, while
most of the bad eggs in the last House
have been set aside by their constituents."
We then took the liberty of doubting whether
the new-laid eggs over which II. G. thus
cackled might not in the end prove to be
addled, and, if not unmerchantable, at least
unwholesome for consumption by the body
politic. Six months have scarcely passed
away, and we now behold the same II. G.,
with erected feathers and clucks of inox
pressible indignation, driving into the horse
pond of infamy the chickens hatched at
Albany out of these identical eggs, over
which so much maternal pride was then pre
maturely displayed. Of course, nobody is
surprised by this save 11. G. himself; but it
may be of some use, even to Republican
voters, to consider whether it is wise to
accept, in a case of so much lasting import
ance the ovarian droppings of a hen whose
legislative ducklings and goslings have bo dis
mally disappointed the expectations of their
fond but sligtly fatuous parent.
The Coining War.
Vom the World.
All the indications in Europe point to a war
this summer between France and Prussia.
The speeches in and out of Parliament, the
newspapers, the state of trade, the stock lists,all
furnish evidence that the conflict is considered
inevitable. Not that the Emperor Napoleon
wants to fight; he would avoid it if he could
with honor. Personally, he is far from well,
his army is not prepared, the French needle
guns are not yet ready, and the Exposition is
under way; but events will not wait. The
French people are in a passion of wounded
national vanity, while Prussia is insolent, iw
perious, and evidently determined to force a
light. Bismark seems to be of opinion that
blows from without are essential to the con
solidation of tho great German power he has
called into being. He insists that France shall
not have Luxembourg, his King threatens the
French Emperor in a speech from the throue,
while the needle-guns swarm on either bank
of the Rhine.
But if war takes place, what then? On
which Bide will victory incline? The event
alone can answer these queries. It is only
certain that the French Emperor has had a
run of ill-luck for the past two years, while
fortune has favored his rival.
Russia also seems to be uneasy, and not
unwilling to take advantage of the Luxembourg
imbroglio to seize Constantinople. Some of
the news we publish has a look that way.
At any rate, 1807 promises to be memorable
in the annals of Europe.

During the winter of 1M8 1 was very mach oat or health,
aitllcttd with a severe cough.paln in the aide andLungs, aud
a general degression of healtn to such an extent as greatly
to alarm myself and friends as to the result. Duitug this
time 1 tried several highly recommended remedies with
little or no goed result, and bad concluded to try the ellect
ol a Southern climate non my health) hut, before carry
ing this resolution into ellect, I was induced by the urgent
solicitation of yenr agent, Mr Uontlsy.togive Dr. Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry a trial. I did so, and to my great
joy found Immediate and permaneat relief by the uae of
only one bottle, and I am now in as good health as ever.

Colds, and all Lnng Diseases, now In use, and con
scientiously recommend It as such.
