TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1861
The Historic Events of 1860.
The past year has witnessed some of the
most remarkable political changes that .have
ever occurred, and the historians who will,
in future, accurately describe them, will have
an abundance of themes to enlist their high:
est genius.
The most fortunate and favored nation has
been Italy. Many weary centuries have rolled
around since she could point. to two years as
full of hope, promise, glory, and substantial
advancement as 1859 and 1860. Until Within
a recent period, she was divided up into a
number of distinct and divided , Govern
ments, controlled by influences it:deafen' to
her true welfare, and resolutely hostile
to the liberty of her sons. Austria ruled
with an Iron hand over a large por
tion of her fairest dominions, and, by close
diplomatic relations with her petty despots,
wielded almost as much power over their sub
jects as she possessed over the unfortunates
who were completely at her mercy. Mamba,
of infamous memory, tyrannized over the Two
Sicilios, and in dying transmitted to his son all
the hereditary hatred of tho;people which had
long. cbaraeterized hie rice. But a won;
drous• change has been Wrought' with alinost
magical rapidity. The long-severed and dis
tracted Mobs of nations has been reconstruct
ed into one mighty and imposhig Government,
strong enough to command respect among the
haughtiest monarchies of Europe, and power
ful enough to make every citizen' feel pre;ud
of the name of Italian, and conscious that:it
will prove a mantle of protection at home and
abroad. Venetia and a portion of the territo
ry of the Papal States alone continuo uncon
nected with the dominions over which Vroron
Emnfaxusr. presides amid the joyful acclaim-
tions of his people. This great revolution has
startled the world after P. long series of fruit
less struggles had created the universal con
viction that All projects of Italian unity were
vain and chimerical, and that all the struggles
of her people to better their condition would
only strengthen their chains and plunge them
into still deeper misery. The lesson thus
taught is full of significance to all countries,
bdt nowhere should it make a more profound
inapression than in our Own long-iavored rime
now unhappily distracted land.
In Japan, too, a progressive spirit has been
awakened after it had slumbered for many
centuries; but whether the light of civiliza
tion now lot in upon• her and the numerous
complications with the long-excluded foreign
ern, which appear to be inevitable concomi
•tdiits of her new policy, will prove more bene
ficial than injurious to her, the Arturo alone
can determine. The white race has rarely or
never benefited mon of a darker hue when ad
mitted into free intercourse with them, or at
all events, for every advantage it has con
ferred it has exacted a fearful penalty.
It,; enslaved the negroes, destrOyed the In
dians.of North America, conquered and de
spoiled`. the dusky children of Ifindoostan, and
after long destroying the Chinese, by freely
supplying thed with opium, and impressing
them into a hopeless and fatal service as
Coolies, has fought its way up to their capital,
spreading terror and consternation on every
side.
The visit of the Japanese Embassy to this
country was ono of the greatest triumphs of
which American diplomacy can boast, and
should secure, for ns important commercial
advantages If it is at all possible for our enter
*ratty° trade with Japan: — lfebeth,
athaounced the arrival of our late guests, in
e t toty, at Hong Kong, on board the noble
asiamer Niagara, and they have ore this, no
doubt, safely reached their homes, and are
I even now recounting to their countrymen the
rang wonders they beheld during their Ame
tin tour, prominent among which will, doubt
less, figure the sights they witnessed in our
own beautiful city.
Almost simultaneously with their arrival at
Elfmg Kong the news of the fall of Pekin
retched that city. This event is well calcu
lated to arouse the fears of the cautions 'and
exclusive Government of Japan, and to
dampen the ardor of their reception. As the
Emperor of China, on account of difficulties
indirectly growing out of the foreign trade of
his subjects, has at length been driven in dis
grace from his throne by French and English
bayonets, the Tycoon may not unnaturally
anticipate that there is serious danger that
he, too, or some of his &lemma may, at
no distant day, share a similar fate. At
all events, those who have always strenu
ously advocated a restrictive policy will now
have strong new reasons to urge in support of
it, and the glories and delights of the great
Japanese expedition will not be t linmingled
with regrets that such great dangers have been
encountered.
Never did the future of the Chinese Go
vernment appear more unsettled than at the
present moment. While a foreign foe has
entered, sword in hand, the precincts of its
sacred capital, the Insurgents, too, have
achieved a long series of brilliant triumphs,
and now have undisputed possession of a large
portion of the country. It is not impossible
that a destiny similar to that of India awaits
China, but, as the soldiers of Franco have
fought side by side with the troops of Great
Britain, England will not, in this contest, be
permitted to monopolize more than a mere
share of the honors and rewards of victory.
Louis NaPormon is determined that If the
flowery kingdom is to be cut up or made a
European dependency, ho will secure a large
portion of it.
While these mighty changes have been wit
nessed in other lands, in which we have but a
limited interest, our own country is now in
the throes of «a revolution, bloodless as yet,"
which has awakened the apprehensions es
every patriot. In all our past domestics dis.
putes and dissensions we have looked to the
ballot-box as a peaceful arbiter to adjust them,
and when its decision was announced all dis
cord was hushed, and its decrees cheerfully
complied with. But now, threats of an appeal
to arms, of a dismemberment of the Confede
racy, and of civil war, are loudly. resounding
throughout the land. Each day brings new de
velopments, more startling than their prede
cessors. The public credit has been destroyed,
the treasury has been plundered, the arms of
the nation so distributed as to be available for
the destruction of its authority, but not for the
enforcement of its laws, and rebellion assumes
a bold and defiant front, while the Executive
arm of the nation is completely paralyzed,
half by imbecility and half by sympathy with
treason in its most audacious shape. Never
was the well-being of the American people
and all their great interests placed in more 1
fearful jeopardy than at the present moment.
It is difficult to realize that the long day of
prosperity and happiness we have enjoyed is I
soon to be followed by a midnight of aufibring
and abject misery ; but If tho dark clouds now
gathering thick and fast around us are not
very quickly dispelled, such will be our fate.
The destiny of nations, like that of men, some
times changes with magical rapidity, and for
every blessing of the fortunate period of their
career, they are compelled to endure a corres
ponding curse, after their evil genius gains
the ascendancy. If order does not quickly
succeed chaos, and harmony the existing strife,
we may find, too soon, that some of the most
deplorable of national tragedies which history
records will be re-enacted upon our own soil.
The Political Events of 1800.
The year which has just closed has been
one of the most eventful of modern times—full
of stirring incidents at home and abroad—and
in entering upon the portals of a new cycle of
time we find ourselves unfortunately in the
midst of a financial and political convulsion,
which awakens fearfni apprehensions in every
thoughtful breast.
During the last twelve months our national
politics, in which a deep and absorbing Into•
rest has always been, felt by the great body of
our citizens, have 'aroused a degree of atten
tion ,and feeling almost unprecedented,in our
history. The sectional animosities; which for
many years have gradually been growing in
strength and intensity, and which not onlythe
discussion of every current political topic, but
the differences in American churches, North
and South, and the exciting serraonspreached
in thousands of pulpits have served to in
crease, have become so bitter that the Union
is in far ,more serious jeopardy than at any
proviousTeriod of our national existence.
?At a time like this, •when so much is at
stake, and when it is the true province of the
patriot rather to allay the prevailing discon
tents—to deal with the practical issues of the
hour, as they arise, efficiently—to so direct the
course of events as to still secure, if possible,
a hopeful and a , happy future, perhaps no
good purpose can be Served by a careful and
scrutinizing review of .the past year, which
weuld tend rather to raise bitter recollections,
and to Invoke crimithitions and recriminations,
than to,promote our extrication from existing
difficulties. But certainly, in reviewing the
course of this journal during that period, it is
a satisfaction to feel that we are unconscious
of having aided in any way to create the pre
sent troubles, and-that we have done all in
our potiv to strengthen instead of weakening
the bonds by which tho•fathers of the Consti
tutionloPed to make the Union perpetual.
It must, ()rat least should, have been appa
rent to every shrewd 'observer of the political
signs of the times twelve months ago, that
the honest instincts of the Democratic masses
of the Northern States had been so outraged
by the• infamous Lecompton polloy.of the Ad
minlstrationj.by,the 'shameful proscriptions,
thanniesi..and Corruptions Which followed it,
and by the extreme . demarids made upon, them
by .the politicians' of the South, with whotn ,
they had , been Previously allied, that, unless
the Detneeratic National 'Convention selected
a ; candidate of unquestioned courage, inte
grity, nnd fidelity—one who had been tried in
the hottest fires of Southern, as wall as of
Northern fanaticism, and been found faithful
—there was no earthly hope of the success Of
the :Democratic Presidential nominee. With
tint Mot staringthe members of the Charleston
and Baltimorb :Conventions Rill in the face,
the nomination of JudkaDOTIOLAa was earnetit--
ly, and gallantly sustained by men who fully
comprehended hoiv much was at stakelahis •
Selection as the nominee of the whole Denf.i ,
matte party, ou the ono hand; and on the
other it was- reaisted"with unparalleled perti
nacity and unseruPulo'usness; not only by the
pensioned agents of a tottering Administra.
lien, who Were governed' Merely by perm
animosities and hatreds, but by other
more desperate, calculating, and dangerous
schemers, who deliberately planned the divi-
Mon of the great organization which had long
controlled the country, in order to place be
yond a doubt thstmecess of the nominee of
the Republican party, and thus to obtain a
pretext for their favorite project of destroying
the American Confederacy.
Nearly every step in this great political
drama has, up to this period, been as success
ful as Its authors could have expected or de
al - 4./' Having destroyed the unity and power
of , the once invincible Democratic legions, and
by their mercenary allies In the free States
sowed such seeds of discord da to render the
triumph of LINCOLN and Herm an easy task,
they have, in strict accordance with the pre
dictions of the faithful Democratic journals of
the-time, proclaimed the very result which they
had themselves thus artfully produced, to be a
sufficient and Irresistible cause for rebellion;
for overthrowing the authority of the National
Government; for compelling this long-happy
Union to ignore her past precedents of
us—li no tumisaion to the decrees of
grown - gretn ° ,-t.....mular, which, _she_ has
and to establish here the terrible reign of
conlitsion, dire distress, and civil war which
has made our neighboring Republic of Mexico
a scoff and a by-word among the nations of
the earth, impoverished and destroyed her
people, and divided her history into two
painful chapters—one of anarchy and desola
tion, and the other of a tyrannical military
despotism, both being equally baneful to the
well-being of her citizens.
Unhappily, these appeals have been but
oo successful. Already South Carolina has,
in the most formal and solemn manner,
announced her withdrawal from the Union,
and it is evident that the sentiment of a
number of the Gulf States will not only
Justify, but demand similar action. Even
in the border slave States there is a strong
secession feeling, although it is fortunately
still held in check by an earnest attachment
to the Union. Amid all this tumultuous agi-
talon, and with daily multiplying evidences
of complicity with treasonable movements on
the part of those who have sworn fidelity to
the Union, and who are bound by the most
sacred obligations to preserve intact the Go-
vernmont over which they preside, it is evi
dent that a crisis has been reached in which
those citizens of our country, without dis
tinction of party, North and South, who de
sire to preserve the political fabric which
so long has shielded us, and showered
down unnumbered blessings upon the whole
country, have now almost as important a duty
devolving upon them in vindicating its au.:
thority, in securing the faithful administration
of its laws, in upholding the principle which
is the very corner-stone of American institu
tions—that the will of the majority, legally
expressed, must bo respected—as their pa
triotic ancestors, who fought the battles of the
Revolution, or the wise and sagacious states
men who laid the foundations of the groat
Republic which is now so seriously menaced.
May they be equal to the task !
A Southern Gentleman Attempts to
Mope with a Young Lady of New
York:
•
The New York Times, of Monday, says:
Quite an excitement was caused at Jersey City
on Saturday, amongst certain, circles, consequent
upon an attempted elopement of a young Southern
gentleman with a blooming young Mies of fifteen
summers, an adopted daughter of Mr. Dane Woolf's,
of No. 17 Grand street. Mrs. Woolfe '
who is the
sister of an ex•indge in New York, is said to have
planned the elopement without the knowledge or
consent of her husband, and very nearly succeeded
in her plans. The knowledge of the affair coming
to the ears of a friend, he at once repaired to Wif
liamsburg, where Mr. Woolfe is engaged construct
ing a city railroad, and informed him of what was
about to take plane. Mr. Woolfe' hurried at once
to Jersey City, and consulted with Counsellor M
HOS, when it was deolded that he should proceed
to the terry and wait for the runaways. Hardly
had he rived there when a eart, containing a
large box and tome trunks belonging to the
Southern gentleman and his fair one, came up.
After some talk it was decided, in order to pre
vent the mettef becoming public), to have the
baggage removed to Mr. Gaffney's stable, there
to await further notion. The indignant father,
the gentleman from the sunny South, and Mr.
MIS', then repaired to the aloe of the tatter,
and two hours were oeoupled in consultation.
The father was very angry—refused to be recon
ciled to the union, and, it is said, used some very
strong language. The young Southerner protest
ed that his intentions were honorable, and in the
elopement affair he was merely carrying out the
plans laid by Mrs. Woolfe. Mr. Woolf. was finally
prevailed upon to give his consent to the mar
riage, which he did after examining the bag
gage. The box contained an outfit, consisting of
bedding, As., which had been furnished by Mrs.
Woolfe, and the trunks the young lady's wear
ing apparel. The happy couple were united at
two P. M , and a abort time afterwards they left
for the purpose ofpeg on beard the steamer
for Richmond, Vir a. The young man is 22
years of age, and s said to be connected with a
highly respectable faintly in Richmond.
INDIAN BANDADITIVI ON TEE TNXAN RDON-
X/Nlt.—T.bo Galveston News contains many par
ticulars of the tont savage foray upon the north
western frontier of Texas. A letter of the 20th
ult.from Jaoksboro', says :
"'Parsonlifedarts, with many others, have just
arrived on.the square from the scene of trouble:
The road is lined with women and children coming
in. The frontier is broken up. Parson fdedaria•
tells me that twenty.two persons have been found'
in Jaok county killed and scalped by the Indians;
six in Palo Pinto, and one in Parker. Reborn
Ikard's wife and two of his ohildren were carried
off by the Indians, from Jack county, and have not
been heard from. Movers from the frontiers are
still coming."
A BarrrimOßN despatch says: fc The sohr.
Alcre Mom, arrived here from St. Domingo,
Weirs news that the guano island Alta Vela, in
the Caribbean sea, in iesal possession of American
oltisens, has been forcibly taken by the Dominioan
Government, and the parties on the island taken
prisoners to St. Domingo, the Government aieo de
stroying the American property on the island.
This Is viewed as a great outrage, and a violationof American rights."

odn Increase their stores of information from its

engravings must be of incalculable advantage to
all. The literary portion consists of a History of

Coins; 'Pried of. English Collis; Remarks on
Some Rare Coins of the . United States; Table
of: Comparative rarity of American Coins ;

fifty years. The only °Wootton the, book is liable to
is; that hatpin short in its records of foreign modern
coinage : for example, there is not'gl6on any coin
of George ILL and IV., or William IV,. and Only
a medal of Victoria. Neither does It notice the
line coinage of , the French Empire: The American
'coinage is pretty fully delineated, brit not so mush
so, of course, as in the recent works especially de
-1 voted to Amerioan Numismatios. Mr. Prime bas
done his authorship of this book ably, indufitrioualy,
accurately, and instructively. The price ($2.50)
is' marvellously low, considering that there 'are
nearly a thousand engravings.
Some time ago, we noticed the first Series of
Essays to Biography and Crtticans, by Peter
Bayne, published by Gould le Lincoln, 'Boston. A
second volume has just appeared. Mr. Bayne is a
clever young Sootohman, whose first book, " The
Christian Life, Socialtind appeared
in 1854, and deservidlY obtained a high
place in publio estimation. A favorable review of
its by the late Hugh Miller, attracted the atten
tion of Gould d. linooln, who republished the
wcrk,and had the satiefestlon of finding their enter ,
prise rewarded by a large wale. This led to their
treating with Mr. Bayne, for the republication, in
a collective form, of various essays which he had
contributed to a Scotch Magatine. This made the
first 86110. The second oonsista of papers Wm
quently written, and, we think,' with still more
power and judgment. The articles upon Charles'
Kingsley, the Duke of Wellington, Napoleon, and
the Pulpit and the Press, would 'do credit to
almost any living writer. They are as much
superior the platitudes, dogmatism, and su
perficiality of George Gilfillan, the sen
tence-spinner, ae Gilfillan himself is superior to
a; tadpole. Since August, 1857, Mr. Bayne has
been editor of the Edinburgh Witness, having
succeeded poor flugh Miller in that chair. Mr.
Bayne's Essays aro on sale by Smith, English, a
Company.
J OVZNILII BOOKS
:As this is the Gift•seaeon, we shall mention a
few juvenile books, of a higher class than ordinary,
Which have just been published. 1. Bonnie Scot•
/and : Tales of her History, Heroes,' and Poets, by
Grace Oreenwood,"—a pleasant volume ! whielt
wlll instruct the young, and please the old.
well-written. 2. Tito Seven Louie Sisters who
Live on the Round Ball that Floats sn the Air.
The round ball is the Barth, and the seven sisters
are the various rases who inhabit it. The idea Is
neatly worked up. 3 Bruin: or the Grand Bear-
Hunt , by Captain Mayne Reid, is a tale of con.
siderable excitement, in width are' cOuentrated,
we suppose, all the adventures about bear-bunting
ever recorded. How the youngsters will' enjoy,
while • they shudder at, the perils - it relates.
(These three books are neatly illustrated, and pub
lished by Ticknor & Fields )- 4. Up the River, being
a new volume of 11 Stories of Rainbow and Lucky,"
from the prodnotito pen of Jacob Abbott, has
bgen published by ?desire. Harper. It continues
'the instructive tale which the writer hu pleated
to put into a succession of small volumes, and we
are reminded, not unfavorably, of !Mies , Edge
worth's Frank." It contains ten engravinge.
6.: The Chtldren's .Pteture-Book of Birds,
Illustrated with sixty-one engravings, by W. Har
vey, is another of Harpers' valuable jcivenlle
boas, and is well adapted for all ages, from two
to; fifteen. 6. The Life and Adventures of
Dandy „Tack, by Uncle Tobias, published by P.
E. Tilton & Co., Boston, le skeimaainery history of
'an Equestrian Circus-monkey,• related with some
humor, and prettily illustrated. 7. The Ninter
Boy; or, How Ben Franklin made his Mark,
by William M. Thayer, also published by Mr.:
Tilton, is of the same character 'as 6 , The Bobbln
Boy," by the same pen. The design Is to llMs
trate the familiar maxim that, the boy is father of
the ban. It win be followed by The Farmer
Boy ; or, How (surge Washington became Presi
dent." It is our purpose to notice more fatly, at,
the earliest opportunity, this biography of Frank•`
lin, and we shall only say now, that a better book
for Youth has not been published this season.' It
is 'well printed and handsomely illustrated.

of Common Pleas within the last year, and that
thirty-two applications are still before the smart
for consideration. The number is entirely too
large, if it could be avoided, and shows a state of
