Rome Reviving as the Centre of Euro pean Civilization. Amid all the cliancs nnd evolutions of our wjrcly ngilnlcd period the numo of Rome ri'luitig its immemorial influ ence. Time, war and tlio elements Imvo bent on tlie nncient city in vnin. The fully of prince and the turbulence of the puoplu linro uliko atlhjeelvd it to ioks oi pouiieni power atiu oi inau'nai prosperity havo defaced it within and iHolutt-d it from without, while impairinir all itsicfouices and dimin iahinir its population; and yet, in all its lutilinc'ns, iiome has continued from ago lo ago to wield an undiminished empire over the human mind. Thi she has maintained under every form of government and in the very pres ence of the mighty States which have arisen in Europe and the Went while her ancient glories wore crumbling to ruin. At tliis moment sho dispute with Paris the interest of mankind. The French capital, so lately the thief seat or all tho refinements ot modern lile, tho centre- of the most cont-picu-ous, if not the tnoxt formidable, itn Dcrittl rule on cath, and tho nioulJ of fashion for every elegance) and grace of other communities, is desolate with in its wulls under the slia.lowr of itn pending destruclion, and is girdled unci iiiuiiutlcd with tiro and steel by tho fierce, besieging armies Unit encir cle it and cut It oil I ro in tlio world, lis hour of humiliating submission or of material downfall lias tome ! While mankind waits with baled breath to behold thisJolemn fpectacle n new light is beginning lo dawn over tho churches and monuments of Homo. Tho gigantic shadows of her ancient sanctuaries tiro brightened by the presence of tho throngs of visitors who desire to become residents, streaming in to her lrotn the most distant coun tries as we ll s from every pari of tlio huropenn t ontinetit. Her hotels and lodging houses arc all crowded and tho most princely terms arc oiicred for even the humblest tencmonts which arc but decently hubitablo. Tho band of restoration and improvement is al ready vigorously at work, and the keen glance ol intelligent speculation is directed to means of comfort and profit which the exigencies of tho past few hundred years havo coin)flled even tho most enlightened ol her princes to neglect. And not to the poetic fancy alone, but lo the coolest prnrtieal mind of our day, well may a dream of substantial glory lhatglory which consists ol reconstruction lor Iho cood ol fellow man tako shape and grow until it becomes a grand ro ality, in recalling what was once achieved upon this Bite of power and in lorsecing what may yet co done. hat an area ot tliouylit is unloldea lo the gaze that ranges over tho Eter nal City, the Campaign around it and the horizon crowned hy tbo Alhan and tho Sabine Hills, on the ono sidn, and gilded by the shining waters of the Mediterranean, but twenty nttlcsaway, npon the other, when tho beholder looks out from the ball perched far above tho doino of St. IVlcr's I From the banks of the narrow Tiber, which winds almost immediately be low, extends tho Cily of tho I'a-sars, partly masked by tho buildings of the modern city, which did not oven exist when world-w'iilo fumo belonged to the edifices and monuments whoso very ruins chnllongc admiration. Those temples In Iheir splendor rmimnt, Mid ares and etwllsks and domes anlowera, ltefleetit g hack the radiance ot tha VW.t. But if wo endeavor to recall tho ng- preirato of splendor und wealth of whieh this imperial city was the cen tre in tho later and more prosperous ncriod of tho empire, wo shall find tho retrospect imposing. In the reign of ihe Kmperor Claudius, one of the suc cessors of Augustus, liomo which wis tho chief luminous ccntro cl elegance and luxury and of substantial manu factures, as well as of tho fine and decorative arts whilo at tho same limo tho star of sc ience, Ihe tongue of oratory, tho mistress of poesy and biiks kltirs and the instructing and commanding bead of religion held undivided sway over ono hundred and twenty million human beings, on every known continent and islund, in every climo,and of tbo most smar.ing variety of raeo and culture. Her established authority reigned equally supreme on the banks of the Thames and tho Tiber, and tho glory that rested on her arms was only eclipsed by the respect that was willingly paid by all tho tribes beneath her scepter to the wisdom of her legislation and tho grandeur of her ititelleetu.il development. Italy alone contained cloven bundled and ninety-seven hnndsome cities; and it is a question whether, judging by the remains of pagan splendor lound there, somo of them did not exceed in an tique limes the magnificence of their tiionl notable modern successors. Tho Roman provinces of Gaul could boast twelve hundred cities, thoso ot Amca three hundred and thoso of Asia five hundred, many of those, like Antioch and Alexandria, dispulinr the palm with Rone hersair. Th leading NOT MEN. plates wore connected by a grand Ro man rond perfectly constructed and accurately divided, which, as tho his torians tell us, extended from tlio wall of Antoninus to Jerusalem a dis tance of three thonsnnd seven hundred and forty English, miles. Around Home itself, tho vast Cumpagna, now a mephilic waste dotted with pools of stagnant water and affording only coarso pasturage lo herds of shaggy Italian buffalo, was ono continuous ex panse of the most beautiful gardons and meadows, crowded with flowers and fruit and picturesque shade- trees shel tering tho colonnades of sumptuous vilas. Thoso extended lo tho verv foot of tho distant hills aud clnmborcd tip tlieir alopos, in well ordoroxl luxu riance, revealing the opulence which argosies sailing at stated periods from the numerous ports of tho empire brought from every accessiblo shoro of the Orient and of tho West, to lay in the lap of tlio world's acknow ledged queen. H lulu all this, in tlio peculiar lorm and fashion of the ago of tho Anto- nincs, can hardly bo replaced in these late days, since tlio nature of our civi lizalion is absolutely different, we may readily anticipate, that with tho loco motive ulrcady stretching in to the ancient pales from every part of Italy and steamships daily multiplying in Civita Vecchiu and at the mouth of the liber, all essential splendors will soon bo revived. Tho affection of twenty seven million Italians centres intensely upon tho scut of unciont ro now ii, of modern art, of political sig nificance and of supreme ecclesiastical control, which is their pride end boast; and tho tuet and culture of a II Euro pean nations converge to tho same centre of past tradition and present influence. To Rome tho whole Catho lio world looks with profoundest ven eration and interest, and to liomo tho scholar, tho statesman, tho orator, the poet, tho printer, the architect, turn incessantly for ever fresh at d lusting inspiration. Iho plans ol Southern Italy aro as prolific of the vino, the fig, tho olive and tho rich grain of imme morial rcpnto as ever, and modern cultivation will work magic in such a climo. Tuscany on the north ar.d Naples on tbo south aro continuous granaries, orchards and vineyards, and the sea on tho west and cast opens wido tho doors of African and Asiatic trade; whilo through tho Mont Cenis tunnel all upper Europe and through tho Suez Cnnul, Arabia, India, China, Japan and Australia aro made tribu tary to the Italian ports. The majes tic aqueducts still stretch over tho Cnmpagna to tho mounlnins beyond, and onco repaired woutd bring the sparkling waters of Tivoli and Albano to the city ; whilo tho broad plain itself would bo easily drained and ogain covered with verdure and bloom, licit why continue? Tho site, the land, the associations, tho occasion, aro ull there, and tho timo is ripo for a transformation so nntural and so salutary. Tho work has begun, and tbo hour hastens when tho domo of St. IVter'B will nso over a sceno of brilliant life and a social power far wider and grander, because rr.oro hal lowed to tho law of loro and pence, than the wonderful display of half barbaric opuleneo that culminated in tho Golden llouso of Nero and tho storied carvings of tho l'ltntheon. .V. I'. Herald. Night nntl Day. What a bcaulilnl thought is embod ied in thoso words of Holy Vrit,"and the evening and il.o morning wcro the first day," "end tho evening and the morning were the second day." Morning has, and ever shall, follow the evening ; und ibottgh our whole lilo may seem like ono continued night, it ahull bo succeeded by tho brighlncHS of eternal day. In our customary method of com puting timo, wo reckon that day commences at twelve o'clock, and thus wo have both its extremes shrouded in darkness. A similar idea havo wo of life, of morning's child hood and evening's old age. Hut it need not bo thus with tho Christian's life, for Iho ovetiing timo may be brightened with tho radiance of our Heavenly Father's countenance ; so that which seems to us like a beauti ful sunset sceno, is really, but a sin gle ray from tho sun which ushers in the glorious resurrection morning. e read of thoso in ancient timo who died being old and full of days, vet how many have died being old and full of nights. Evil thoughts and deeds, unthankfulness and complaint aro sncli as mako up our nights. Our days arc made of pure thoughts, right eous deeds, sorrows patiently borne, words of loving sytnmthy to tho poor, bereaved one, Itltlo acts and loons oi kindness which bring back tho glad sunshine to somo weary soul, and arc an bulm to the wounded spirit. They oro the bright, procious gems, whose radianco sparkles throughout all timo, and by whoso dear light wo can bohold the highway cast up for the ransomed of tho Lord. Then wo can look bevond to tho "River of life," and lhat citv which hath no need of tlio sun nor ol tho moon And thus may .. . .1 .

Tho denonmenl of Mr. Motley's ca reer as Minister to England is one of tho most curious and instructive inci dents in our diplomatic history. Tho wholo enso is marked from first to last by striking and oven ludicrous fenturcs. It bus also its painful as poets. No one likos to suo the col iripso of an amiable and well-meaning man, who has acquired n corlain do served reputation, like Mr. Motley. Hut whon it comes of a foolish social ambition, or a desire prompted by vanity to got into high places, our re grots are abated. Mr. Motley never was fit for the English mission. On the contrary, he was totally unfit for it ; and tho point of the wholo corres pondence is lhat the last paper ema nating from the Stato Department flatly and plainly tolls him so. The statements made in that paper aro very damagingto Mr. Motley, becauso they are so fortified in their details as to bo seen to bo perfectly true Mr. Motley might havo escaped this cul ling reply if ho had sense enough to say nothing after ho was asked to re sign. Rut bii vanity beclouded his perceptions when he sought the place, and it continued to becloud them to tho end. Ho could not see things us they were. In a word, he did not know himself. We believe him fully when ho Buys he tried his best to follow the instruc tions of his Government. But, really, tho truth must bo confessed : he did not know enough to do it. This is what ho is flatly told by tho Depart ment, and it is what makes tho final rejoinder bo bitlor and bo crushing. It really extinguishes Mr. Motley so far us hi diplomatic qualifications aro concerned. It is shocking for a di plomatist to bo informed over and over nguin that he is vague and loose und extravagant in his language, and that ho does not pcrceivo tho points made in his instructions, and fails to discriminate in bis discussions between what is important and what is not. And yet this is what Mr. Motley is told, and what is said and reiterated in reply to his complaint that ho thought lio was doing just right, and could not sco why ho should bo removed. The constant refrain of this memorablo re sponse from tho Department is, "Mr. Motley, you havo a facility for writ ing showy periods, but ns a diploma tist you are really quito incapable." The most grcvious misfortunes Of this case consists in tho fact that this incapacity was not recognized in Ihe outset, before Mr. Molley was ap pointed. Wo tried our best to in struct tho President and the Depart ment on this qucs'-ion at the timo. While tho subject was yet ponding, wo begged Gen. Grant and the Sen ate "not to send a boy to do a man's errand." Wo pointed the futility of intrusting tho Ahibnma claims, and similar important national questions to a man of tho marked deficiencies of Mr. Motley. Ho is not a man of political instincts. He has neither tho education nor tho high qualities of a statesman. He lacks penetration, reticence, and judgment. He is a scholarly man. Ho is happy in sketching fancy historical pictures Ho lias a rotund mid dcclumutory stylo. Ho dotes on a picturesque ac- itnatiun ot delivery, ile is tond ot tho showy. Ho loves social distinc tion. He is happy in the presenco of titled ladies and gentlemon. Wo not imputo these as grave faults, but wo rcgurd them as weaknesses aud fail ing", disqualifying their pnaaowior for important public stations. ... . . - .i - r nemrn nuw io anotuer view ui this case, in which wo confess our sympatntes tire a niiio on me siuo oi .Mr. money, no couiu noi sco wnui he ought to bare seen, but what bis natural inaptitude for his position prevented him from seeing. This was tho weak as well as tho strong points in tho Alabama case, and his failure here was partly duo to tho an omalous condition of tho State De partment, a most important feature in ibis imbroglio, as we shall presently demonslrnlo. Ho had come under tho influence of Mr. Sumner, who had inspired him with a profound regard for tho whole budget of ordinary und extraordinary complaints mado by that Senator in bis remarkable speech on tho Alabama question. Mr. Mot ley had swallowed tho whole doso. He had red taped tho entire budget, as a firccious magazine of projectiles which io was lo cxplodo from time to timo npon tho British Cabinet, as opportu nity served. Ho reckoned their value rathor by their number than thoir kind and quality. He could not quickly discriminate, if indeed at all, hotweon their relative poworand mer it, and this proved a prolifio source of Ins subsequent woes. Ho especially mado the trrcat mistake ol laying as much stress npon tho compluint il,n r..ooii.ltntfl 'linn of the) British Govorntneht in recognizing tho belig crency of tho rebels, as upon its ne glect to arrest the Alabama, cither at the start, or afierward at her numer ous visits lo British colonial ports.

We can not help seeing in this correspondence tho quoor consqquonees arising from the di verso views entertained and ex pressed by diverse writers in the State Department. Tho final reply to Mr. Motley's complaint evidently docs not como from the same source as tho long despatch which wo have ascribed lo Mr. Gushing. Noither does it cmunato from the samo source in the Department us thai which con sented to Mr. Motley's appointment, and was favorably disposed toward his shortcomings afterward. It is evidently the work of somo man who was boslilo to Mr. Motley from the beginning, aud who is fully imbued with tho idea of hi incapacity as a diplomatist. This gentleman we as sumo to be Mr. Hunter, one of the Assistant .Secretaries ol SUtto, and the sttmo who had Ibo credit of writing Mr. Webster's fumotm reply to the Austrian Minister liulseinunn. Mr. Hunter is a capable, truculent man, naturally peremptory, and whoso long official career in an authorita tive position has given him a certain insolence of tone. Mr. Motley, who had been encouraged to the exhibi tion of his weakness by Mr. Cusliing's cluborato manifesto, and who had hud them from timo to time condoned by grnllo criticisms from favorable Lands, going to tho very vcrgo of op proval, is at length brought up with a round turu by being handed over to tbe lender mercies of Mr. Hunter. This theory uffurds the only consis tent explanation of the steps by which Mr. Motley finally roceivejhis death-blow; and we give it as tho real clue by w hich ho and his friends may discover how it is that tho al ways serene and complacent bead of tho State Department can socmingly blow such extraordinarily differing currents from his mouth. Mr. Motley's sacrifice, wo thus per ceive, it one iu which justice and in justice are unequally blended. Where the lujuslieo appears we sido with jUr. Motley. Where justico predominates (which wo are constrained lo say, is where tho substance of this case dwells,) we have to consent even to his full. Mr. Sumner should not have urged his nomination. The President should not have appointed him. Tlio Senate should not havo confirmed him. lie was not a tit man for the post. And however caustic Mr. Hun ter's final review, wo must concur in its justico X. Y. Sun. Lawyers. ni Honor, Juclgo Agncw, nt Phila delphia, recently delivered the opinion of the Court in a case arising on Ap peal and Certiorari to tho Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny county, and mado the following very pcrti nent und sensiblo remarks : He says: "The office of an Attorney nt Law, is a highly honorable one, as well ns ono of great importance to society. The necessities of men in u state of high civilization, required the profession of tho law as a distinct call ing, one to be exercised by men trained lo it by a long conrso of study, and qualified by skill and learning to un derstand, protect and sssert the rights of others, who by reason of the stato of society, or their own innbility, can not act for themselves. As prosperity increases and new forms of it are developed, new institutions created for its management, and as the variety of business multiplies, inter weaves and expands, and wcaiui ai.d luxnrv follow in the train of cotnmcrco - . . i and the arts, tbo regulations ol man j becomo more and more complicated, Rmi render tho prolesston ot tho law- ft cr indispensable and important. tcgrity,as well as skill and learning, is cssentinl lo iho character of tho profession, and it becomes tho duty of tho nonch, as well as ot ttio nariiscn, to preservo that character in its high est stato, as a means of usefulness and of answering tho Iruo ond of a profes ston so honorable, and at tho samo timo so ncedf.il. Notwithstanding the prejudices of some, tho ignoranco of others, and oven tbo discredit occn sionally brought upon the ofrleo by unworthy members, we are glad to know that the bar is filled with many worthy men, and that a trust and confidence almost unlimited, is justly reposed in it by the public.

Ho has inunagnd lo secure a good ileal of puffery for the ocliviiy !) ho displayed in trying to prevent the l'ucitio railroad from swindling the gnvernmentont of many millions of dollars Now it turns out thul Boulwcll kept his peace until tho damage was irreparable, stid then sent up a Into anil ciy which was meant to cover up his share of the in famy. Tho history of tho whole nffuir is now made public, and theso are the simple facts, without anything having been extenuated, nor aught having been set down in malico. When the Pacific railroud bills were first before Congress, allegations were mado and -denioil that Mr. Oakes Amos, a mem ber of tho llouso of Representatives from Massachusetts, as well as others on tho floor of the House, were pecu niarily interested in lis passage, lie- sides the land grants', in themselves enormous, Congress gavo money to build tins road to the urnount of iU,- 0110,000, with the understanding that the company would pay the money back, and until such payment was made meet promptly tho interest. Tho United Stales were secured in a first lien on the road, and on other property of the company, and the inter est paid amounted to $2,417,401. This tho thieves considered too honest en tirely, und greedy for additional gain, they seen red the passago of another bill giving to third parlies the first lien, and thus the government lost its security forever. Through a series of disgraceful manoenvors tho corpora tors of the company became possessed of, without the expenditure of a single dollar, the stupendous sum of 820,000, 000, as well as tlio cash avails of all the first mortgage bonds and stock, together with a first lien covering the roads themselves." When they pro gressed thus fur, they slopped paying the government interest, and Mr. Boutwcl! permitted this outrago to go on until the arrears amounted to $b 402,602, and the people were fast en quiring a knowledge of the facts. As Boon as Boutwell remonstrated, tho company refused to pay, and not only that, but gave it out thul it was unable to meet the indebtedness. Then ulthisopportnno moment, Oaks Ames, tho Radical Congressman, ar.d bosom friend and crony of Boulwcll, fails in business. The Ames Plow Works, tho largest manufactory of the kind in tho United States, stops at onco, and so does Oliver Ames & Sons, and bnlfdozon other works, all of wl iuli are owned wholly, or in part, by Oakes Ames, tlio member of Congress, nnd Pacific railroad corporator. Ofcourso tho bonds of tho Pncifio road fell to very low depths, and a panic in the market was the result. Ames says ho failed because tbe bonds, of which he had two millions dollars worth, fell, and tho rumor in the street attributed tho decline in the bonds lo the failure of Ames. Now, wo bear of Ames and his con federates, one of whom is, in all proba bility, Mr. Boulwcll, buying up the bonds at very low figures. II is presumed thul lully IIOU.UOU,- 000 id casb will be realiaod Irom lb la , transaction, besides all the equipments of tho roads ond ono hundred and fifty thousand square miles of arable lands. Wo utliro tho roads will eventually bo brought to Ihe hammer, and the friends and relations of bankrupt (!) Ames and the proxies of Mr. Uoulwell will buy in the wholo concern, and lhu posses themselves of the fruite of tho most disgraceful scheme ever inaugurated in the United States. If radical Ames, or pious ponsiiea uoui well, have a defeeso to these charges wo would like to bear from them. The raper. No Home No homo. What a misfortune! How sad the thought!
