A YOICE FROM SILVER SPRINGS. The Labor Congress Las not only been agi tated from centre to circumference by the momentous woman's rights question, as re presented by Miss Anthony, it has also had one of the Blair family on its hands. Be tween old Frank, young Frank, Montgomery, and various subordinate little twigs and branches of the parent stem, it is next to im possible to have a demonstration of any kind at which some one member of this am bitious household does not attempt to force his views upon the public. Of late, young Frank seemed to have taken the lead. In 180!) he won the Democratic Vice-Presidential nomination by his advocacy of a new re bellion, and a few months ago he eulogized the leaders of the Rebel army at a meeting of Union officers in the most inappropriate and offensive manner. But now old Frank, the original Jacobs, is determined not to be kept perpetually in the background by his ambi tious offspring. He wrote a letter which was evidently intended to create a great sensation in the Labor Congress, but that body wisely refused to have it read. All the entreaties of a little knot of old Frank's friends could se cure nothing better than a resolution that it should be referred to a special committee. However, as the reporters obligingly embo died it in their accounts of the proceedings, it was forced before the public, and the author gains the notoriety which is so pleasing to his vanity. A leading object of this document is to re hearse for the thousandth time the history of Blair's connection with the war against the United States Bank. This would be pardon able enough, if it were not intermingled with the suggestion that a similar war should now be instituted against the National Banking Bystem. The shameful manner in which the old demagogue attempts to array the preju dices of those whom he ostensibly addresses against the banks is sufficiently indicated by Lis allegations that they clear "at least forty per cent, on the amount of their capital," that he knows of "instances in which the capital was doubled the first year," and that tlhi$ is the crushing taxation that is ruining the country!" If the workingmen and voters of the United States believed these allegations, a terrible new financial war would soon be waged, and in the uprooting of the present system, and destruction of the present basis of business operations, all classes and especially those yho earn their living by daily toil would Boon learn what hard times really moan. The grievances now complained of are as nothing when compared with the enforced idleness and the absolute want which would quickly follow an attempt to give practical validity to Blair's financial schemes. His proposed project is too visionary to re ceive serious consideration. When the United States Government starts a bank that will loan money on real estate security, it may be a capital thing for the Blairs, and all other Washington operators who, like them, under stand the art of advancing their personal for tunes by political intrigue; but no citizen who Comprehends the practical workings of our governmental system can doubt for a niouien1 that partisan adventurers, rather than Bolid business men, would be the chief recipients of the Government money; nor that, in the end, hundreds of millions of protested notes would bankrupt the Treasury beyond redenip tion. Of all the crazy schemes submitted to the Labor Congress, Old Frank has offered the worst, and his effort to lead the men con nected with the labor organizations to de struction deserves as severe reprehension as the new rebellion projects of young Frank It really looks as if the family had resolved to ruin the Republic in consequence of the mortifying failure of their schemes to rule it A PROFESSIONAL TRAITOR. John Mitchel has turned up again, and this time in the role of an injured innocent, who Las been damaged in pocket, health, and, moreover, in reputation, through the illegal action of one John A. Dix, formerly General commanding the United States forces in the Department of the Atlantic. In the summer of 1805, just after the collapse of the Rebel lion, Mitchel, not satisfied with the utter anni Lilation of the cause he had espoused, refused to submit to the authority of the United States, and undertook to carry on the war on Lis own hook. General Dix promptly sup pressed Mitchel, and clapped him into Fortress Monroe, where he remained for four months and fourteen days, with an excellent opportunity to read the Bible aud repent of his sius. The absence of General Dix from the country while he held the position of Minister to France prevented this irate Celt from taking vengeance; but now that the offending Gene ral has returned to this country, Mitchel has appealed to the law, and has brought a suit for damages in the sum of twenty-five thous and dollars, which he thinks is about the pe cuniary equivalent of the injuries done him. General Dix has promptly entered bail in the amount required, and it now remains to be seen how much Mitchel will make out of him. It certainly seems, however, that United States officers ought to have some certain pro tection against suits of this nature brought by scamps like Mitchel, whose traitorous actions brought them into difficulty; aud whether General Dix wins or loses in this contest, he trill 19 subjected to an annoyance and expense JiUil it i J?1'0! tti bliould bear. This man Mitchel is a professional traitor, and his treasonable efforts in Ireland appear to have been prompted more by an inclina tion to be in arms against law and order than any desire to benofit his country. Meagher and other of the Irish compatriots of Mitchel proved the sincerity of their love for freedom and the honesty of their efforts to liberate Ireland by the patriotic course they adopted on the breaking out of the Rebellion in this country. Thoy were on the side of freedom under all circum stances, while Mitchel is a natural outlaw, and he promptly proclaimed himself a traitor to the country that had honored him, shel tered and protected him, and made him one of its own citizens. One of the most impu dent things in his affidavit against Goneral Dix is his claim to be a citizen of the United States and of the State of New York at tho time of his arrest. If General Dix had promptly ordered a drum-head court-martial, and had Mitchel hanged for his treason, it would have been a warning to other of fenders; and even if the law had to bo stretched a little to do it. no one would have complained except those who deserved a like fate. Such a man as Mitchel is entitled to no consideration whatever. Like all of his tribe, he is prompt to appeal to the law when Le thinks its protection will be of advantago to him, and he is equally ready to set himself against it whenever it suits his convenience to do so. Tho only way to treat such a fellow is as an outlaw, whose hand is against every man, who has no rights that do cent men are bound to respect, aud who is a nuisance to society. That such men are allowed tho privilege of bringing suits in the civil courts is a commentary on the leniency of the Government towards tho traitors who sought to overthrow it; and it is enough to make any loyal American's blood boil with in dignation to see tho brazen impudonco of a foreign-born scamp like Mitchel, as displayed in this case. A SOANDINA VIAN UNION. The latest European mail brings tho particu lars of the recent marriage of Frederick, the Crown Frince of Denmark, to the Princess Louise, tho only child of Charles XV, King of Sweden and Norway. The event, it is said, was mado the occasion of groat re joicing throughout both kingdoms, and all the principal Scandinavian towns testified their gratification by sending marriage pre sents to the royal couple. At Copenhagen and Stockholm there were magnificent fetes, at which the auspicious event was made the subject of unqualified approval on tho part of the people of both high and low degree. At the official dinner given at Copenhagen, Mr. Founesbock, the Danish Minister of Finance, delivered a speech, in the course of which he said: "What fives the ministers a right to the scats they occupy Is their hearty sympathy with the cause not only of Denmark, but of Scandinavia, a cause fur which they zealously labor. I hope the kings of tho North will always know how to understand the signs of the times. 'i tm present government, especially, treats Denmark as forming part of Scan dinavia." These sentences give the key-note to the popular sentiment of both countries, which is manifestly in favor of the union, at the ear liest practicable moment, of all the Scandina vian countries. Prince Frederick being the heir apparent to the throne of Denmark, and the Frincess Louise the only child of the King of Sweden and Norway, tho event of their marriage renders tho consummation of this union extremely probable. The three Scan dinavian countries would make a very respec tably sized nationality, when united, the area and population of each being as follows: Area in Sinare Mile. Imputation.

The Labor Convention appears to be playing a little game of thimble-rig with Miss Susan B. Anthony Now you see her, and now you don't see her. On Monday last they refused to admit her to their councils, on Tuesday they permitted her to take a seat, yesterday they turned her out again, and there is now a fine chance for the betting fraternity to make money on the question as to whether sho will be in or out of the convention to-day. In the meantime the object of all the difficulty is keeping herself before the public. She has succeeded in creating a disturbance, and in having herself talked about, all of which is better even than being a member of tho con vention. It is to be presumed that Miss An thony is happy, and if she can only keep the conventioners discussing her merits up to the day of adjournment, it might add several hundred new subscribers to the list of the Revolution. It is, we believe, now definitely understood that a special meeting of Councils is to be Held on next Monday. We may console our selves with the old maxim, "Better late than never," but as the pressure of the water-fnm. ine was seriously felt on Saturday last, nnrl a the citizens are now obliged to husband their resources in the most parsimonious manner, it is deeply to be regretted that tho Councils were not summoned last .Monday instead of Monday next. It may be asked what can they do when they are assembled.

The public had to a great extent lost its in terest in tho scandalous quarrel between Lord Byron and his wifo, and beyond an indotinito desire on the part of the admirers of Byron's poetry to know all about the mystorious and much porplexod episode of his erratic career, there was very littlo thought bo stowed upon tho subject. Tho CoiinlosM Guiccioli's book renewed tho scandal, and laid tho blamo of tho separation on Lord Myron, accepting implicitly Liidy Byron's version of tho aff air. This work has elicited a statement of Lady Byron's side of tho question, from tho pon of Mrs. Harriot Boeeher Hlown, which wo publish on our Hixl.li pajjfn to. day. This is tho first time, that Lady Myron has had n hearing, and U, nurnitivo N on that account, if no other, of (rreiil. inlirnit. During her lifotinm nl,e iiiuiiitained n nludloiM silonco on tho subject, or the qmn rn with her husband, and boro. without any coiripliiinlni, the odium which tho vnnliid of fi'irinly ul. tached to her.

Imr tiri"(.ii.niiilil y, austerity, coldness, and iiinineei ily wero Him causes of tho separation. She felt, however, that hIio was unfilled to a vindication, and that the largest charity to wards tho real guilty parties did not demand that sho should be silent after they hail passed away from earth. During Mrs. Stowo's visit to England, shortly after tho publication of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Lady Byron sent for her and entrusted her with tho secret in her possession, leaving it to her discretion to give it to tho world at the proper time. Tho frightful nature of tho secret thus confided to her appalled Mrs. Stowe, and oven after Lady Byron's death sho hositatod to give it to the world, and was only induced to do so by the reiteration of tho old scandals in the Countess Guiccioli's book, and by a deep con viction that Lady Byron's memory domanded this vindication. The story is elaborate but still indefinite, but enough is said to bring out the whole truth ere long, if there is any truth in Lady Byron's statement. Wo would fain believe that this is not the case. The charge brought against Lord Byron is so infamous that it is impossible not to suspect that it might have been merely the result of Lady Byron's mor bid imaginings a crude suspicion developed into a positive conviction by long years of bitterness and mental suffering. Be this as it may, there is a probability that all tho facts of the case will now bo brought to light, and the memory of Byron cleared from the charges brought against him, or else con demned to perpetual infamy. Mrs. Stowo's narrative will be read everywhere; but it will excite more comment in England than in this country, and it will bo interesting to note tho impression that it will make on society there. In the meantime, we commend it to the atten tion of onr readers as a vividly interesting contribution to the history of a man who, whatever his sins may have been, was one of the greatest poets of his age. OKITI'AllV. Cliurlea I). Cleveland. Yesterday morning, at his temporary residence in this city, Professor Charles Dexter Cleveland, a gen tleman and a scholar well known not only In this community and country, but across the seas, died so suddenly of heart disease that neither a physician, his sons, nor daughters were by his bedside when his spirit took Its night. The deceased was tho son of Rev. Charles Cleveland, of Boston, and was bom In the town of Salem, Mass., on the 3d of December, 1802. His early life was passed in the counting house, as mercantile pursuits were intended to be his ; but In 1823, moved by the promptings of a taste for literature, he forsook tho desk and betook him self to schola.' tic studies. Four years subsequently he graduated, with honor at Dartmouth College. He had a peculiar aptness for the classics, aud his knowledge of Greek and Latin was unsurpassed. In three years from the time he left college he was elected Professor f Latin and Greek at Dickinson College, and afterwards was called to the Latin chair of the University of New York. In 1834 he removed to this city, and hre established a school for young ladies, which met with great success. Falling health compelled his relinquishment of this pursuit, and President Lincoln tendered him the appointment of Consul at CurdiiT, in Wales. He remained several years at that port, but, not Improving In health, he resigned his position and returned here. Afterwards he passed a year at llfraeombe, in England, reaching thlB city again but a brief while before his death. He was a voluminous author, and his works all be came celebrated. Besides numerous text-books pre pared almost exclusively for the use of his school, he edited an edition of the works of John Milton; com piled several valuable compeudiums of literature, including two of English authors, one from the earliest writings In our language to tho beginning of the nineteenth century tho second devoted to tho present century exclusively. He also prepared a compendium of American literature, and translated the best speimens of the authors of Greece and Home, for the benelit of realtors unacquainted with Greek and Latin.

Tlie Frixon Convent mid the pillanre for Tor. Iiii-lna The Horror of a Modem Iikiiiiuiuoii. The Austrian correspondent of tho London Times writes as follows in relation to the case of the imprisoned nun at Cracow: 'While the inquiry Into the nunnery case In Cracow Is being continued, driblets of Informa tion only hero and there ooze out. As for the immured nun herself, since sho has been re moved to tho lunatic asylum sho seems to re cover gradually from that state of almost savnire ncss in which sho was at first. Sho has ceased to talk in obscure language, as she did at first, and, now that fdio is in a clean apartment, that constant complaint about tho bad smells to which she gave vent at first is nevoi heard of. Bhe has become quite a pattern of cleanliness, and us for tearing licr dress or the bedclothes, which was alleged as tlie cause of her being without clothing, slio never once attempted to do it. Tho brother ot the ex-confensor of tho convent writes to tho cia cow papers that his brother, who, as you re member, died suddenly when the whole Btory got abroad, died a natural death, haviug been Ul for several weeks before. Tho depositions oi the nuns, which are being taken, seem rather calculated to indispose public feeling against them, for they all go to show that they took In Wm tU Vow of banishing, all hJiUUl Hons from the sisterhood. One of tho nuns, who lins been repeatedly superior of the c n vent, let out that Barbara' I'bryk was not taken to tho lunatic asylum, because the General of the Order In Home forbade It, and because she herself thought that, oftcr passing her fiftieth vmir, Barbara would become calm and mire composed. "The Austrian Minister of Piddle Worship, ad intrim, has sent n despatch to the Governor of beinberg on the subject, In which he says: 'The revolting facts which have occurred, and the le gitimate indignation aroused against the nuns by the discovery, Impose on the Imperial govern ment the duty of most seriously considering what measures 'ought to lie taken. " First of all urine the question whether that community can com Intie to receive the annual subvention of one thousand eight hundred tlorius which has hitherto been paid to It in virtue of an Imperial de.b lonof the Mh of .lime, 1 W17, and which U inliii Ipiill v taken Irom the resources of the tHatc. But. the Government cannot confine Itself tothat point. In i oiiHciiucncc of the natural excitement etei y where iiroiliiecd by tills allair of the Cannel the ( iibliiei h compelled to consider whether the eniiiit, nation ol the existence of this convent - tiom willed, under the most favorable hypothe sis no i"iod work can lie expected for many yum In reeonellablc with the public interest. On lha diiliji-rl request you to place yourself In immediate eoiuiniinieatlon with the diocesan, I'.Kliop GaleeM, In order that he mav give his opinion oh to whether the maintenance of the f armellle nimriery Is desirable, even on behalf of the Chureh ItHcll. You will be pleased to liifoini me as soon as possible of the prelate's reply, as well as j our own views. But first of all I detdre to know at once if, in your judg ment, any reasons can lie urged ngafust the im mediate withdrawal of the allowance. Incase none sneli exist, the Imperial Government nciievcs men bound to stop the payment forth with." The London ltniln Tvtrgraih says: "Tlie famous Cracow convent seems to have possessed more elaborate appliances for torture than n dark cell. The commission which has been appointed to examine tho house is said to have lound a w hole collection of such instru ments of torture as tyranny winkled iu medkeval times. Two crosses, each weighing elghtv pounds, and intended to be worn on the backs o'f the nuns, us a punishment: two heavv blocks of marble, which the penitents placed on their chests: crowns of thorns, wtth long Iron spikes, which they wore on their heads; and girdles with nails pointing inwards, which they wore next their skin, were among the weapons found in the spiritual armory of the religious house. We arc not informed whether they have been recently used for the purpose of waging war ag'aiust tho world, the flesh, and the devil. Indeed, they recall the worst spirit of medkeval barbarity, rather than the humane spirit of our own time. It is true that people shut out from the world like the nuns of Cracow cannot fed the humanizing influence of this age so keenly as tlie secular and the profane: and hence they must be guided bv less cnlinhtned consciences." Alter the horri ble revelation of the manner in which they have treated one of their 'sisters,' It Is also pos sible to believe the Cracow nuns guiltv of any thing. Nevertheless, it is uncomfortable to re flect that in the nineteenth century a convent should systematically use Instruments of tor ture which would have found a fit place only in those rel'glous houses which centuries ago were deus of depravity."
