The niflgio hovu wl.ich I M.eron gnvo to Sir Iluon set every one duiicnig who happened to bo within oar.-hot of its blunt. Thus, while the benrer of the gift vns surrounded by ene mies, and could lurdly of IjIh ow n resources find his way ont of the dil'ic.iilty, ho had but to blow liiH horn, sot his fics jiiuipiug and jigging, and escape amid thoir punting coti iusiou. The Doininioiiisth iu Canada Het-in to he trying an experin ert borrowed from the lively c antos of W ie I ami's poem. They appa rently hope to get out of nil their dillieulties by hitting Trinee, Arthur and all parties and sectH, and the population generally, dancing to the roystering music of the Highland reel. 'The l'rince danced with everybody, duneid down everybody, danced as only princes in newspaper descrip tions ever do dunce; and he carried away the atlection of a populace of perspiring competi tors. "Dance bgut, for my heart lies under voiir feet, love," is the refrain of a pretty bal lad which all the loyalists of the Dominion lni'dil have chorused in the modest ears of voting Arthur. Where are your auti-Domi-iiionisN now your annexationists, your nialiguants, who were v out to set the mari time provinces in a roar? Danced away, ap parently, as sail thoughts are said to be in another ballad whereof we remember nothing more. Still, Hoineliowl there remain difficulties hanging over the luturo of the new Dominion which your only jig-maker though he be a prince, cannot cuarm away. Doubtless the (Queen's third sou is very popular in Canada. He seems a winning, intelligent lad, who has not yet arrived, and we trust never may arrive, at the season of Schneider, and can can, and music hull, lie appears to have lent himself to Uio fcMivo business of the visit with thorough good humor, and his presence, no duuu , has I'oen a social success. JSut if it was M'lioi'Mv proposed to use it as a counterblast to the- dissatisfaction of a certain portion of the Canadian people, it will prove a decid.-d failure. The loyalists of Caiia la art- ;.lr;;:dy loyal enough in" all conscience; it is only spurring the will ing horse to administer fresh stimulaut to their devotion. Indeed, there still exists among certain i iss.es in Canada a senti mental, high-Uin .1, nit ;i,;'Vid loyalty, which died out of Jvi;,l m1 wiih the Stuarts. A n-allv loyal Cunu ion ..f this stamp, when he visits F.ngl.ind, ' to find himsell understand his r all about the so : mates his cluv ! liriciiccs a chilling shocU i.uong people who harlly duns, unil have forgotten il' lv.ic loyalty which aui- .1 !

On these devoted Canadians the pre-.-ncc of l'rince Arthur will have little addii 1.1 i.d etlect. and on nobody iiny ert'ect whatever more it of the Scotch reel or the else will it havi lasting than the ! bubbles of the The future of hiiinpngn" which followed, i.inadn will be settled by .strictly practiced aud id'tisa'c considerations. '1'he Nova Scoti ms, who tiro ihe bitterest ene mies of the C'oMiclcriiici measure, are among Hume of the poji iutu.n wLo have always been most noted for loyalty: and yet their loy jdty did not tw yi sirs ncjo, and does not now, prevent them from declaring loudly for annexation to the United Status rather than a federation of tho British Ame rican provinces Those meu see no advan tage iu the Com ederu' ion scheme, aud they iii i see mat ino Kit nation oi tno maritime pro vinces, tho vast mid dreary distances lviiu between them and Ottawa, the total dissimi larity of interest-, and objects which forms a still drearier iii ervc tiiug distance, render it impossible to think with patience of the per manent cohesion of the I iiiiuiuion. They see. too. ((ttite clearly t hat l.iif;lund wants to be rid of them. We commented a few days a;;o upon the remarkable frankness with which ir John Yonng conveyed to tho Canadians the assuraneo that England is ready to let them go whenever tht-y plo.ise. The dele gates from the several Uritish American Pro vinces found ont. this fur themselves, to the great surprise of lua'.iy of them, when they went over to England to agitate for and iigaiust the Doiniuinn project. The notion taken np by sume of our New York contemporaries, that the English Gov ernment have sent 1'iiuee Arthur to Canada for the purpose of ottering him to the Cana dians as a king, is utterly chimerical, and, in deed, shows a curious ignorance of the feel ings of tho Engii-di public i'ud the opinions of English statesmen. - may all rest as sured that 1'rin. w Arthur's mother and l'rince Arthur's friends would no more allow him to accept tho crown i:f Catiadu than the crown of Dahomey. ''The Crcn." sr give themselves to me." said tho cr.udi nis Trench KiuL', " ni"i if le tlonne mi ilinhh." Triuce Arthur will never, wo fancv. receive i.ti v such offer from the Canadians; b'U, if he should, his answer, although not couched in just the same lan- cun;e, would assuredlv be to much the same ctt'eet. If there is any political significance in the visit, it is Kiniply in the fact that the Donna lonrst are trying to make capital out of it. ro iar as ivjigianu i: concerned, it means nothing. Canadu will, in fact, soon tind her- Hdt practically rtnveu to choose between trv ing to set up for an independent Stato and annexing herself to our great republic. When it comes to this even the most antimiated of monarchists, even the most ambitious of titlo- loving politicians, will look, at the one bide. .1. .v..

LO! THE TOOK NEGEO. Frim the A". O. ricayunt. The fruits of the cuorts of the fanatical preacher and politician of the North are ripening daily, aud the harvest of death will be frightfully large. lreeilom, and the e.nialitv of tho black race, sociully aud noliti callv, with the white r ice, have been decreed. and the results are being made manifest. The laws of nature are fixed and immutable, and when, judging from tho whole past history of the world, we see that tho negro is the lowest in the Bcale of the human race, we must con clude that a fixed, an rternal law so decreed. W e can nee no change in the condition of the negro, morally, intellectually, and physi cally, go back as far in we cun. They re the name now as tiu v were at the date oi the building of the I'yrami Is no change for llu better. It is certain that they had us good a start In the race of life as the other varieties of the human specieH, but the inex- ' oral le fact is, they alone have not improved. 5ut here in the United Statss, nnder a mild system of bondage, some advance was mtde by them, but as soon as the controlling influ ence of tho white race was taken away, we find the negro lapsing into his original bar barism. Tho increase of population in any considerable degree depends upon relief from cares and a sutHcient quantity of food and clothing and shelter from the changes and inch mencios of weather. The census, par ticularly that of lN'iO. shows that tho natural increase of blacks was much greater th.m that of the whites, proving clearly that the condi tions if life were more favorable to increas ing the blacks than that of tho whites. With out cares, with comfortable cabins, with good clothing, and a sufficient quantity of whole some food, the negro improved and multi plied. l!ut now, left to the tender mercies of his pretended friends, ho is sinking fast to his original condition, and gradually, or rather rapidly, disappearing. Not long since we read of the sufferings of the negroes in tho District of Columbia, that only portion of the territory of tho United States under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress. The Chairman of the National Freedmon's Relief Association appeals for tho relief of ;t,Oi) negroes, suffering for tho want of the neces saries of life in tho District of Columbia, aud his appeal is responded to by a donation of a barrel of onions and a barrel of potatoes,' worth iyK'iTiO, all the way from tho North, tho region where the negro is regarded as a man and brother. An appeal to the benevolent, to contribute to supply tho wants of negro, was never heard of before tho advent of radi calism. But now, right under tho nose of Congress, :'(,( li.nt of its wards aro crying for help. There is no help for them but in themselves, and as we know that Providence only helps those who help themselves, wo can .see no relief for them, for they aro as help less now as when they first made their appear ance upon earth. It is a hard fate we pity them but their present deplorable condition was thrust upon them by the fanatical North. That they are not increasing in population is apparent, and that they will finally disappear is also evident. Let this one extract open the eyes of their pretended friends: "P.emiforl, S. C, says tlio Lynclilmrjr Snr.i, onec the fashlonulile watcriUjT-pliice of Sutita Carolina, lias become decayed, rajrifiid. lunacies, aud a uiiirc clam-bed. Once It was to the Smuli what J.oiir KraiKii and Newport are to tin- North. It bail ltd hundred boats and battlers, but now there area lew mean whiles who intermarry with the negroes, a few low liquor shops and clothing stores, a few ex-oillcials el Hie Treasury, who hope to get a lit le Sea Island cotton, and a few Kiuntcil palmettos. Tlie correspondent, of the I'.oston 'J'mr.elrr, who tells us ol the decay, adds I lie luiiowitur el the urirro rare: "Away tin the sandhills, m the bomii-prools of fo! ts. under eld forts and decaying tents, tins lamily of colored nu n, lun:iir the war industrious and happy, are now parsing t in-lr lives in the wilder ness el the desert islands, aions their idunes or in I lie woods of the inner islands. Such lives will soon be past, l-'or they tell us that the surf, which can be heard so distinctly. Is the only voice that sings the dirges of hundreds that almost daily are laid in the cold square tenements, dug in the sea beu "h. doing down to death, a who e race, at the rale of a thou sand a day, and leaving noiir behind to bear their lianies. This, then. Is fr-edom ! SuH'crinR for fojtl. lor clothing, lor eve-ything, having no money, no trade, no employment ; nothing to hope or to live for. Free to search for labor they cannot llnd ; free to die unnoticed and tinknelled, one arter another, until the latal fiftieth year comes round, when, at the present rate of disease, the whole race will luve gone into the gloomy hereafter.'' THE lirSS ASNIVEI1SA11Y. Vd-.ii the X. Y. Utvahl. At l'rague, f n the 1 th, ."ith and dth of this month Saturday. Sunday, and Monday will be celebrated the rive lmndreth anniver versary of the birthday of John IIuss. Great preparations are on foot to give this festival an imposing character. All parts of Lohemia and Moravia will be represented by deputa tions. A large number of guests are invited from liussia, Servia. and other Slavonic coun tries. France and England are also to send their contingent of visitors. It is stated that (iuiot, Victor Hugo, and other distinguished Frenchmen will be present. This festival, intended to do honor to tho memory of a man who inaugurated one of tho most remarkable movements iu mcdiieval Europe, is sugges tive of many reflections at the present time. It is four hundred aud fifty-four years since John Huss was burnt by order of tho Council of Constance, and after death his ashes scat tered to the winds. According to the sen tence his body was delivered to the hre and bis soul to the devils. This was done although a ( lenimn emperor had pledged his word to give the great Doctor of l'rague a sate con duct to the council aud back. It was supposed that with the death of IIuss the ideas which he represented would lie stilled. hat was the result ( AH Dohomta rose up, and for twelve years undisciplined peasants bade defiance to the best troops which the empire could send against them. and compelled Home and Germany to make terms with men whom thev anected to looic upon as heretics and rebels. All this would have but little interest at the present day. ext ent for tho student of history, were it not tor the lact thai ouesuons raisou iu uouenua by IIuss in the fifteenth century are pre-omi nently the questions of to-day in Europe. On their proper settlement depend tne peace anu development of tho world. Ul these ques tions one is political and tho other religious, At the present time peoples or tho same race and lantsungo aro striving to iorm tueni selves into homouoncous croups. This has inven rise to what is now called the question of nationalities, which is without doubt tho chief i outictd question of Europo in our time. The ereat struk'tiies anu rivalries are between governments which have placed themselves at the head of the national move ment and those whose personal or dynastic interests are opposed to it. Tho animating idea of German v is a united fatherland, which till Uismark's time seemed to bo merely dream of poets, but which since tho battle of Sadowa is last becoming a rotuiiy Austria, unable to bring about Gor mnn nmtv. does not wisu mat u should take 'place under the auspices of her great rival; hence the grievances oi iiuuui f i Delist, who, n we may oenovo ins speocues aud despatches, bestows much unrequited love on ungrateful Prussia. Trance, ot course, cannot but give a word of sympathy to the ill-used Austrian unanceiior duo sym pathizes with bis separatist movements, fear ing that a united Germany nngui nave ioo much significance, and the "Grande Nation" be forced to take a second instead of tho first place in Western Europe. Italy is yearning and btrnggling for national unity; but the l'opo stands in tho way. Tho Slavonic and Greek populations of Turkey aro struggling for a position among the Christian nations of tho earth. 'Western Europe, or at least tho Governments, affects to believe that tho rule of the "sick man" is a wise dispensation of l'rovidence. Everywhere we find tho traditions and in stitutions of ages of conquest and violence coming iu conflict with tho legitimate aspira- " una tendencies of the people. The struggle ,iUiy i,e louj mt its issue cannot be doubtful. On every side we find the question of nationalities to bo tho question taken up by the people, and as such destined to con- qner, cabin No efforts of diplomacy, no tricks of nets, can prevent the union of nonuU- tions of the same race, language, and ten dencies. There are few better examples of the vitality of a great idea than that afforded by the history of the movement begun in Bo hemia in the fifteenth century. The ques tion of nationalities, supposed to have boon set at rest forever by force of arms, has become the leading idea of Europe, and its realiza tion is of prime necessity. With a united Italy and Germany, with' a constitutional Trance, satisfied with the rank which her natural genius and her geographical position may ennble her to maintain, not inspired by the vain belief that sho is and must bo of necessity the first of nations, Europe might follow the example of America by disbanding her armies and paying her debts. Sho might men educate her ignorant populations, in stead of overburdening them with taxes and military service. The religious movement in Bohemia was very different from Protestantism of a century later. The object of the struggle was to re tain a certain amount of local independence in the churches of different countries without separating from communion with Koine an endeavor to reconcile liberty with unity. A similar attempt was made in Franco, but without success. If the Bohemian and Galli can movements had succeeded constitutional ism might have become tho form of govern ment iu tho Catholic Church, and reform made possible without revolt. Since it was announced that an Ecumenical Council was to be held at Koine during tho present year, wo have takon a deep interest iu its probablo issue. Many persons, judging from the encyclicals, the syllabus, and differ ent allocutions pronounced in the Vatican, suppose that a decided stand will bo taken against the most cherished tendencies of the age, and that Pius IX will anathematize modem civilization as unholy and unchris tian. If, however, Komo has retained even a portion of thut wisdom which bo distin guished her in other times, we may venture to think that this course will not bo taken. She will perceive that the main questiou is one government. By the introduction tif a rigid system of imperialism into the ad ministration of the Church, the Papal power puts itself in opposition to every modern de velopment. If the Ptipe but reads aright tho signs of the times, ho will be able to provide for himself a surer support than can be ob tained by opposing reforms in Austria and enlisting zouave in France and Canada. This support will not be obtained by strug gling against whatever is most valued by the present age, but by bidding Godspeed to all tho legitimate strivings of tho people. By liberalizing the internal administration of the Church, and by making himte'.f tho senior Bishop of Christ. n lorn, tho position of tho Pope would be such as to need neither zou aves nor Chassepots, of which, as temporal sovereign and absolute Chief of the Church, he seems to In Jin need. SICKLES AT GETTYSBURG. Frtmi the S. Y. Wrhl. "We gave in yesterday s issue a circumstantial BUii: account of the manner iu which tho insubor dination of General Sickles resulted iu' such erriblo slaughter among the Union troops at the second day's battle of Gettysburg, aud caino near occasioning the defeat and con sequent annihilation lor del eat would have een annihilation of General Moados entire army. Jho account is lortitieii in tno most conclusive manner by the evidence taken in eferenco to the battle ot Gettysburg by tho Committee on tho Conduct of the War, and is illustrated by a diagram taken on tho spot and tallying precisely with tho strategic in- irniation lurnished under oath iy General Meado and the principal officers of his com- nand. The motive prompting Sickles lo venture on so obvious a blunder as the assumption of ho position mdicatod in our diagram has never been exactly Known, tiioujm it nas been stated that he thought himself compe tent, by thrusting out his unsupported corps. o cut ieneral Lee s army in two and thus se cure for himself a fame on the order of that accruing to Wellington from tho battle of Waterloo lho ignominious manner in which this vainglorious effort failed was very fully set forth in our article ot yesterday, and with it appears curious fact in connection with this sanguinary blunder that nas not Hereto fore been brought into prominence. It is known that tho losses in Sickles' com mand, tho :id Corps, were appallingly neavy; but, from tho tact that the battle ot Gettysburg extended over threo days, it has passed into a general acceptance that these losses were the natural result of bo lont'-con- tinued a struggle. .Now, from tho evidence presented, it is beyond question that tho iid Corps was not in action at all on the first of the threo days' li id dint;, and but slitrhtlv engaged, with "very small loss: says Gene nil Dirney, who commanded it after Sickles was wounded on tho third aud last day. All its casualties, or virtually all. aro there- lore directly traceable to tho operations of the second day. On this day, tho testimony is unanimous Unit tho assault by tho Con ledeiates began at 1 1'. M. and terminated at about dusk, or, at that time of the year July about seven o clock, vwihin those three hours, then, the lighting was done aud the corps sustained its icrrino loss of so many thousand men. Desides the :td Corps losses, nenrly as many more men were killed and wounded in the other corps and parts of corps that were ordered np to save tho Third from annihilation, General Meado boin forced to bring up five to one before he could beat Loiipstreet oil ot the command upon which ho had swooped us soon as tho opportu nity was divon him. iheso men, then, ot thtso other corps fell as much vie thus to Sickles as 'did tho unfortunate soldiers of his own command, and tho Aggregate is perhaps as bloody a slaughter as is chargeable in tho annuls of warfare to tho incapacity on any one occasion ot any one commander. Iu Sickles' immeiliate com mand, tho retrimcnts participating in tho action aro given byname and number in our article; and, as tho fighting of the ."id Corps was from I V. M. to 7 I', M. ot tho L'd oi July, 1 Hilt, those who lost friends or relatives in any of those regiments at Gettysburg may know verv distinctly to whom the sucrilice oi thoir kin-peoplo ami friends is duo. As to tho last count in tho indictment against this epitome of vileuess, it will bo seen that, but lor tho tremendous ouorts put forth by five-sevenths of Meade's army to hold Longstreet's corps at bay, the result of Sickles' blunder would have been tho end of the United States and tho establishment of the Southern Confederacy. With tho loss of Gettysburg would have come tho occupation of Washington, foreign intervention, the raising of the blockade, the perpetuation of .1 1 .1 . i J .1. siuvorv, uiiu iuo independence oi uio oomu. lleber C.
