ENTITLED THE NEGLECTED WARNING; OR, THE TRIALS OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL TBACRLit, From the peg of the gitfted. KART KYLE DALLAS. whose name has become a household world wherever the English language is spoken. The story in question is made up of mingled fad and fiction. and the heroine is a young lady who from tax ence is reduced to poverty by the death of a father. who is rendered bankrupt by the schemes and machinations of a villain. Thus impoyneished, the friendless girl looks to teaching in a public school for the means of tan nest, and the authoress. with that nervous power which marks all her literary productions. carries her through the hying ordeals which ever beset the young and friendless girl who tries to obtain a situation as teacher Having been ateacher herself hire. Dallas is thoroughly familiar with her subject. She knows it in all its de tails, from the commencement to the finish, and she is Posted also with regard to the ch traders of most of those who occupy prominent positions in relation to the ma nagement of the public school system. Where merit is due she freely accords it; but where censure is warranted she applies it with an unsparing hand; and in a manner calculated to make the recipients of it wince. Altogether, 'we doubt if a more exciting, and at the same time a more useful stow, as to the moral which it °olives s. was ever offered to the public, and we shall ba Much mlataken if its publication does not load to wide spread comment. That it contains several Paigham charges.,which will "strike somewhere," the public. may reef aseured. Let no one fail to secure the opening chapters, and our Word for it they will not be slow in looking after what follows. Besides the above great story, the NEW YORK WEEK. LY is now publishing a. splendid romance. entitled. " WHITE EAGLE. T THE RE AVENGER: or THE BRIDE OF STTLEET.' by Francis B. Smith, and another most exciting serial, entitled "MARIE BERTRAND: or, THE FELON'S DAUQH• TELL" from the pen of Horatio Alger.

A meeting of the Germans in New York, on Friday evening, was addressed by Dr. Reinhold Solger, Lieut. Col. Ried, (formerly of the Holstein army,) and Fredrich R app—all scholarly and eloquent ex patriots of Germany. The meeting adjourned, amid three rousing hurrahs for Schleswig•fioletein, and the singing by the whole assembly of the national Sclileswig•Holstein hymn. Resolutions were passed tendering cordial Sympa thy to the inhabitants of the two Duchies ; calitog upon the Germans throughout the country publicly to express their condemnation of the shameless at tempt to make Danish provinces of the German Duchies ; declaring that the succession is less a question of legitimacy or dynastic policy than of the title to the German nation to one of the fairest portions of the German land, the defence of which Is a national matter, since its loss would open a path for the enemy to the heart of Germany ; that the London protocol of 1852 is null and void, and that this violation of the rights and interests of Germany must, if need be, be repelled by force of arms • that it would show a lace of self-respect were not the German people, forgetting all party diedinctionis, to exert their united power to secure to Sch,estrigliolstein that political independence which was lust to her in 1850 by a treason unparal- Jelled in history ; that our present misfortunes do not permit tie to perget our duty to home and to the German name, and chat we will aid our brethren is Schlesceig-Holstein by every means in our power; that a transcript of these resolutions, and the pro ceedings of this meeting, be lent to the Central Com mittee of the German National Verein, and to the GOvettunent of Schleawig ; and, finally, that the committee which called this meeting be re quested to continue in the good offices for realizing the rights of Schleswig-Holstein. Progress or civilization. The Chinese are about entering upon the study of Emopean international law. An Englishman, Well versed in the Chinese langauge, having translated portions of Wheaton, Minister Burlingame sought an interview with the Imperial Council for the pub. pose of laying it before them. Of this interview, a letter in the Timcs, dated Pekin, Sept. 14, thus speaks: "That book," said Mr. Burlingame, by way of in ducing them to sanction the expense of printing it, "may yet nave you expense of a foreign war." "If it spans us a war, it is not the expense which we consider, bat the life," they replied, attectiag that sublime indifference to pecuniary c insiderations, which is only exhibited by an avaricious people, and a parsimonious government. "The author," ended Mr. Burlingame, "bas a European fame. When published here, he will gain a Chinese re putation." The President .replied With the Mr of one who imagined that he was adding the top stone to a co lumn, and utterly unconscious that in publishing a system of international law his people are only lningiug up the 'ear of civilization. "He is acknowledged.," said Mr. Burlingame, "as the standard publicist in the cabinets of Eu rope." " We," said the President, determined not to be inveigled into a premature acknowledgment of an unknown code, "we shall deal with him ac cording to the maxim of Confucius Cull out the right, and observe it ; cull out the wrong, and cor rect it.'" Viewing it in 'Ebb light, they seemed to have little hesitation in regard to its publication ; imagining that, because it addressee them rather in the lan. guage of an ethical philosopher than a legislator, they are at liberty to adopt or reject its precepts, as may suit their convenience. * * * * . . . . _ Mr. Burlingame had remarked that "f would fa. minute the degpfatoh of busic eta tor them to learn the usages that govern the intemourse of nations." "Not only so, ), the President added, "it wilt serve as a guide for Me embassies we may send to foreign Powers." Recruiting in the lentil tbr Our Armies. Governor Andrews' recommendation, that the ranks of our depleted regiments might be recruited in the South, by the offer of pecuniary inducements, is expressed in the following language: Raving sent into the field one man at least out of every three of her enrolled militia, at some time or another, since the war began, and having spent for the service already not less than $16,000 000, in cluding municipal expenditurh, but not including the national taxation, I do not think it unbecoming the people of this Commonwealth to suggest any • Measure of justice tending to preserve her industry, her ability to be useful to the country, and yet to swell the ranks of the national armies. fiWith this view, I think it not improper that she should be allowed to recruit her wasted regiments On the very fields where those regiments have borne the national flag with honor, and in the very States they have helped to grasp from rebel usurpation. Every man she might thus induce to join her ranks, Would be one civilian saved to the national industry, one soldier added to the army of the Union, one the less possible victim of rebel conscription, one Union man of the South enjoying, in the form of a Massa chusetts bounty, some compensation for the waste and want with which the rebellion had visited him. Now, whether white man or black man, why should we not be permitted to invite them to come ? Why should we not encourage them by the pecuniary a vantages of a remunerative servicel Why , not weaken the walls of the house of the enemy by at tracting whatsoever supports them? And how could the mission he more actively prosecuted of disabusing misinformed Southern men, and spreading over the South, Low ruined by an insolent aristocracy, the principles of the democratic North? I venture to suppose that the opportunity offered to any inhabitants of disloyal Stares of serving in the regiments of the patriotic free. State volunteers." of being helped and relieved by their bounties, of marching under their tried and experienced coin. menders, shoulder to shoulder with their intelligent veterans f,of the rank and Me, would be the begin. ming of one of the many moral victories of the war. This measure, already proposed in Congress, of per-, milting all the loyal States to recruit for their volun• teer corps in those States to which no contingents are assigned, I respectfully 'submit, deserves the sup port of the Legislature of Massachusetts. Nevertheless. under whatever decisions and awe, with fidelity and courage unswerving and indom itable, her people unit do their duty. Periodicals Received.

The counties invaded by the colored troops were completely p Ante stricken. Scores of families, for no cause but a guilty conscience, lied into the swamps on their approach. Never was a region thrown into such commotion by a raid before. Pioud Batons of chivalry, accustomed to claim the most abj,ct obedience from their slaves, literally fell on their knees before these armed and uniformed blacks, and pegged for their lives. I wee frequently asked bow I, a ejtiten, - darea to trust myself among such inearnaßeAssisons. '" What shall I do to be caveat" waa the queation asked on every side. No sooner would a brigade enter a neighborhood, than General Wild's quarters would be besieged by Mote wishing to take tee oath or allegiance, and ae. cure the protection of the Government. Their slaves might all go—they would give them up will. ingli —only • let their lives and property be pro tected. Union meetings were held in several places, and delegations sent to General Wild, proposing to do any thing " to bereaved." One set of resolutions was signed by fifty-nine planters, and ano'her by seVenty.six, while the re• turn of the expedition was preceded and followed by hundreds of North Csiolintans, hastening to Nor folk to obtain certificates of their loyalty. One hundred and twenty vehislee crossed Great Bridge in a single day, containing persona journeying thither for this laudable purpose. An army of ho,. ono blacks could march from one end of rebeldom to the other almost without opposition, the terror they Would inspire making them invinetble. . i r err < : : 111 T • Nir We left the camp near Portsmouth about nine o'clock In the evening, and, dashing, into the dark peen, arrived • in an hour at Deep Creek, where a regiment of Gen Getty's brigade is now stationed. A bum delay here, caused by the countersign differ ing from the one in our possession, and we entered the towpath of the Dismal Swamp Canal, which volumene." at this point. Passing several picket fires, at each of which a cavalryman cried," Dismount one ; advance, and give the countersign !" we came at length to the imerve. This consisted of some twenty men, belonging to the sth Pennsylvania cavalry, Who were seated around a blazing fire of fence-rails, near a deserted house, with several prisoners that had been brought in. This we learned Was the last of our picket-posts, that it was twenty five miles to Elizabeth city, and that there were plenty of guerillas ahead. It was about midnight when we bade our friends good-bye, and entered the enemy's country. We were now in the Weariest and wildest part of the Dismal Swamp, the darkness was dense, the air damp, and the ghastly silence was broken only by tee hooting of owl., and crying of wild•eate. For two hours we roge through the stygian blackness of the forest, when we arrived at south Nitric—a collection of about twenty houses—where we stopped to rest our hones. Here we left the canal and descended into another swamp of Hades. The narrow crooked, road was flooded with water, and crossed innumera ble little rickety bridges, over which our horses picked their steps with great caution and re. luctance. A mile of this road to Jordan, a slept. don I bad expressed that we had missed the way, strengthened every minute. Turning a bend, a picket fire, with four men standing by it, ap• peard ahead, while further on a large camp fire lighted up the forest. What could this meant We knew General Wild to be in Elizabeth City. Were our friends the guerillas on the war-path? or had a rebel force come down from the Black water 3 Turn ips our horses 'aside, after a brief consultation, we decided to advance, come what might. In a moment we were challenged. Colonel-Draper-dismounted, and led his home toward the picket. Presently we heard exclamations of welcome, and then a call of " All right—come on 7" Hiding up, we round that the picket was-from Draper's own regiment, and learned that General Wild bad left a considerable force behind to guard the bridge he had built. I need not say that this was an agreeable surprise. In a few moments we reached tee camp, which presented a scene of sin gular picturesqueness. All about were strewn tim ber., boards, joists, shingles, and the miscellaneous debris of the buildings torn down, among which, under shelter of every imaginable device, the sable eolciers were stretched upon beds of cornstalks, whiln a hundred blazing fires threwtheir glare upon the sleeping figures, and lighted up the green cen,ar swamp around. lIANCVIN6 A CIITZICILLA. About noon, the sun coming out, a halt was oirlar ed. The general and his 'staff rode forward to a small unfinishee building, designed for a post office, stand ing upon a knoll at a cross-roads. Sufficient boards and laths were knocked off to afford an unolratruct• ed view of the proceedings from two sides, when one of the officers, producing a cord, tied a hang. manta knot at one end of it, and, standing upon the head of an empty cider barrel, made the other fiat to one of the joists overhead. Alter considerable experimenting, the barrel was made to serve for both the scaffold and the drop, being ingeniously balanced Wren One of the fioor.timbers, anti held in place by a wei'ge which could be instantly removed. Prom this to one of the windows a board was laid, and thence another to the ground outside, forming an in clined plane. Meanwhile, most of the °fibers had ridden forward, and tied their horses to the fence of an adjacent farmhouse, whoae inmates had closed ail the window-blinds and a crowd of colored soldiers encircled the building, watching in silence these ominous proceedings. Lieut. Col Shurtliff, of the nth United States, walappointed spiritual adviser to the criminal, and went back with a guard to bring him to the place of execution. When informed that he bad but a few minutes to live, and was couaseled to improve this time in making his peace with God, he dropped upon his kneea in the road aad prayed: "0, merciful Father, look down-upon me! 0, met'. ciful Father, look down upon me !" These words :done he repeated a hundred times, until the acting chaplain stopped blur. Re then rose to his feet, walked up the inclined board with a firm step, at the point of the bayonets of the colored guard, ad vanced quickly to the head of the cider barrel, and stood under the noose. This being placed around his neck, 001. Shurtliff invoked the Throne of grace in behalf of the guilty wretch. As the word "Amen" dropped from his lips, the General, who had taken charge of the drop, purled the wedge—the barrel tipped, the guerilla dropped. He was a man of about thirty, a rough, stout fellow, was dressed in butternut homespun, and looked the very ideal of "a guerilla. Re died of strangulation, his heart not ceasing to beat for twenty minutes. Then a slip of paper was pinned to his hack, on which the General had previously written: "This guerilla hanged by order of Brigadier General Wild. Daniel Bright, of Pasquotank county." And the body was left hanging there, a warning to all passing bush whackers. BIOTAFIOR OF TR& NEGRO TROOPS This raid possesses historical importance. It is the first of any magnitude undertaken by negro troops since their enlistment was authenzed by Congress , . and by it the question of their effimecoy in any branch of the service has been praetically set at rest. Thoroughly obedient to their officers, during a march of 300 miles their conduct on every occasion was truly admirable. One inoidant in this connection, coming within my own esperience, may be properly related here: On the morning after the fight at Sandy Hook, when Gen. Wald had de termined to return and attack the guerilla camp, the men were drawn up in line to be reviewed, and all who wished to remain behind were asked to step cut. Only thirty.fire—and those footsore and lame—did OM I was instructed Dy the general to find a hunered for the camp guard, and went down the lino endeavoring to persuade more to volunteer, telling them that there would be a big fight—that the guerillas would have them at great advantage down in the swamp—that they lost a number of men yesterday, and would lose a great many more to. day, and that they had better remain nettled and help take care of the camp, where it would be per feetly safe, with little to do. I got but one man out of five hundred, all the rest replying, " No, no I want to fight the Wrillas.,, THE GENSITS. Population. of the United States of the Military Ages. The National Intellfgencer publiphea a page from the proasheete of the forth• coming volume on popula tion, alluding-to the eighth census, from which we extract: One of the orators of the American Revolution expressed a statistical estimate of his time when he observed, "We are three millions one-fifth fighting men." Indeed, were a population has reached nearly its permanent condition, as in Europe ' and the old States of America, one.fltth of the total population is still found to represent very nearly the number of males between the ages of eighteen and forty-five. But the emigrating ages are allied to the military , ages ; and in the newly settled States of the West, the proportion of "fighting men" is accord ingly greater, with partial exceptions, than in the Atlantic States. Thus, beginning at the east and proceeding westward, the number of white males from 18 to 45 is. in Maine, 185 per cent. of the whole white population; in New York, Mk per cent.; in 'lllinois, 22 1 per cent., in Minnesota, 23.8; and in California, 47 1 per cent. The similar proportion in Virginia is 18 7 per cent.; in South Carolina, 18 9; in Arkansas, 20.1 ; and in Texas, 21.9 per cent.

In accordance with this statement, the following ap• proximation is presented for the increase during 1861; the total foreign arrivals being 91,919:.- Entering on 1E years of age. raaaiag over 45 years of age Difference - 148 9fo Deduct natural deaths of the military class 07.000 Annual home increase 91.900 Add for immigration in 1861 - a 603 Total military inorease in 1861'Ur ' . .403 From this last number the losses by war in ma, beyond the usual number In a state of peace, should. be deducted to complete the estimatefor that year.

General Butler's reign of terror has commenced in earnest. He is enforcing the oath of allegiance to the Lincoln Government with great rigor, and tne world Of it It the promised protection is of no avail. His Demo soldiers are sent out in every direction to waste and destroy the country. Those who claim to be loyal citizens are told that they should give freely to the Government they have sworn to support, and they receive no compensation for stolen property. Others fare still worse. Many poor women in this department have had everything taken from them, the last horse, and the last mouthful of food, and this is the Government we are called upon to swear allegiance to, or to be driven out to starve. We can not tell how soon OUT once pleasant and comfortable home may be taken from us and filled with negroes (for that is the programme now), and, like many others of the highest standing in Norfolk, be turned out unbent a blanket. Should this be the ease, we must try and .aubeist across the Federal lines until softie employment can be procured. tbetefore write to request you to ask Mr. —if be can pay the mortgage in your possession. If he cannot conveniently (and I should not use to die tress the old man) will you buy tee mortgaget Set ting aside friendship, I ask you in the name of hu rormity to accommodate me in this, it it should be necessary for me to have the money by the first of the year. I cannot make you a legal title to the mortgage as I am now situated, but the title shall be given, as soon as possible. You have the mort gage in your possession, and it shall never be taken from you. The greatest proof Lean give you of soy houesty is that I look upon the command " Then . .ighalfrnet forswear thyself" as binding as the courniand "Thou shalt not steal," and rather than lie down upon my dying Led with a false oath upon my con science, I will go forth at sixty years or age without a comfort, so necessary at my time of life, to earn my bread in the best way I can. - God help us !

This evening he bids me use the pen In his behalf, and say to you that there can be no difficulty in complying with your request, it you will turnish him with the necessary power of attor ney by which he can accomplish it. The simple act of biting the oath of allegiance to the noblest and best Government the wisdom of man ever devised, is an easy, just, and only way of settling your pre sent dilemma, and empowering him to assist you. lie bids me tell you that the "reign of terror," which you describe Gen. Butler's rule to be, is a mere (Moo°. The noblest vineliestion, and the truest that can be made to the malevolent slanders cast upon that wise and heroic patriot, is to point atten tion to the acts of beneficence by which he saved the hunk ty populace of New Orleans. Deeds such as his must Wee in the,hearts of grate. ful men, and through them be transmitted to an ad miring and reverent posterity. Bit was the hand to clay the ruin brOught upon 80,000 Suffering poor, which the selfish pbam of traitors bad all hut con summated; and when the rebel leader Lovell, re geroless of honor and the principles of common humanity, remorselessly sought to carry out his plane of dastardly treason, General Saitler's energy and benevolence opened the way to rescue these starving victims. ! I he malevolent spirit which by fraud and false. hood originated this rebellion, has not tailed to exer- Mae its blinding power to mislead the oth rzeise good and true ; and, we presume, (from the virulence of the hatred you express towards the beneficent Go. vet/talent we glory in supporting) that you and yours ale among the tied victims of that dreadful celosioo. The Wood of the patriots of courses so vigor ously in the veins of my own being, and of those dealeet to me, that, by God's blessing, treason to US is en impossible crime ; but the same grace which prevents so foul en evil, sives to us all an earnest pity for the misguided sufferers who have been less meicdully Could you see, as we do. how God'a blaming has sheltered our land with unnumbered mercies, how from every quarter outpour the resources of which till tins moment we were ignorant, how manufac tures increase, art flourishes, commerce yields more abundant luxuries. you would wonder and with anguish of spirit mourn for the folly and sin the South has committed, in throwing to the winds her prosperity and scorning the sacred treat of her ho tin ight ! In taking the "oath," you but re• rums your natural position, and retrace, from the paths of dishonor and ruin, your footsteps toward. peace and luxury, contentment and integrity:- It were simply worldly. wise thus to do, did no higher motive impel you to the act; for as certain as there is sunlight at noonday, so surety will our cause pre vail. In true Northern hearts tnere has been out one feeling, and that has been the conviction of ultt mate success ; not by might, not by power of wealth, rot by prowess or superior courage, (for were we not opposed to our own brethren—our own bloodi) but by the might and power of the justice and immut able truth of our cause. On it we could call down by earnest invocation the blessing of the Eternal. Without malevolence, without subterfuges, we could battle for the right! &just and righteous indigna tion mingled in our recognitiOn Of toe frightful ne• cessity of conquering our foes in consanguinity, and the men that was ready to strike not only for tile lire of the Union, but for the life of liberty and hu manity, was long etsyed in its vengeance by the God given virtue of magnanimity. We believe that when our great and gracious Fa ther shall have su.aluently disciplined us for the to lerance we gave in mistaken magnanimity to the en of Southern slavery, we shall see the fruition of att our peat and present expectations. Even now, how nearly it is accomplished it take. small wisdom tolils cover, tint* throughout the length and breadth of re. beidom we see the power Of treason quivering in dark throes beneath the dauntless and uedevieting march of law and truth. Your cousin has felt deep solici tude for you and his other relatives at the South, and he has refrained from writing to you of late, bi cause he felt there could be no assimilation in sea• timints where principles were so much at variance betweeu you. Even now he would not dictate to me the words he has given you in these pages, did he not feel that as you did not restrain both %totemic and bitterness towards all we hold most rrecious and honorable, he reed not longer be quiet in utter. ante of his unwavering loyalty. He urges you to be wise while you may, to recall the impulsive vio lence which is but the unfortunate result of misap• prebeneron of plain truth, and accept the blessing God offers in loyal treasures. • • * With every sincere emotion of friendly interat for tou and yours, and in earnest hope that you mat choose the wise way.

AZT ELOQUENT TRIBUTH TO THE SACRIFICES AND Governor Andrew's message has the following ad mirable conclusion : Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representa. fives: Several topics—among of others, the militia—omit ted from this address. already long, can be better matured hermit' r, should omission demand their discussion. I must not omit to bear public testi mony again to the efficient manner in which the re armament of volunteers is conducted through the municipal governments. The work is brought directly home to the people. Led by their own local ii,agierrates, it is patriotically done. Time, an ele ment not usually understood ) will enable them to till OUT COntingent. I can never express my sense of the kumblime devotion to public duty I have witnessed in this people from my watch tower of observation, nor the gratitude I owe for their in dulgent consideration. But the heart swells with unwonted emotion when we remember our sons and brother., whose constant valor bar sustained on the field, during nearly three y can of war, the came of our country, of civiitr, Bon, and liberty. Our volunteers have tepreiented Massachusetts, during the year just ended, on almost every field and in every 'department of the army where our flag has been unfurled. At Chancellors viW, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Port Hudeon, and Fort Wagner, at Chickamauga.

Übigni tone as the stock they descended from, nationar in their opinions, and unlvereal in their sympathies, they have sought shoulder to shoulder with wen of all sections and of every extraction. On the ocean, on the rivers, on the land, on the heights where they thundered down from the clouds of Lookout Moun tain the defiance of the skies, they have graven with their swords a record imperishable. The Muse herself demands the lapse of silent years to soften, by the influences of time, her too keen and poignant realization of the scenes of war—the pa thos, the heroism, the Herce joy, the grief of battle-- but during the ages to come she will brood over their memory. Into the hearts of her consecrated priests will breathe the inspirations aloft, and undying Beauty, Sublimity, and Truth, in all the glowing forms of speech, of literature, and plastic art. By the homely traditions of the fireside; by the head stones in the churchyard, consecrated to those whose forms repose far oil' in rude graves by the Reppa• hannoek, or sleep beneath the sea, embalmed in the memories of succeeding generations of parents and children, the heroic dead will live on in immortal youth. - By their names, their character, their set vice, their fate, their glory, they cannot fail : "Ties never fail who die . . .

Let us unite our efforts for this noble end, and let us only study obstacles to vanquish them, and ineredubilily to confound it." ?Re NEW PRIM= CIRCULAR ON Tan cononssa. The Meniteur publishes the text of the new French circular on the Congrser, from which we quote : Panes Dee. 8,188 t. .S/s: The Sovereigns have replied to the Bap& roes letter, and in their replies all have rendered homage to that bold initiative, which, laying bare the dangers of the situation, proposed the most PO* lltio ann the most loyal means for averting than. As you know, the majority of the Courts adhered without reserve to the proposition of France; others accompanied their adhesion with certain reetrio tione, to requesting the French Cabinet to draw up beforehand the programme of future deliberation& Under these encumatances we have to express our regret to the British Cabinet our thanks to the So vereigns who have unconditionally accepted, and give an explanation to those who have asked for la formation. The French Government did not consider itself authorized to Confine within a programme the high jurisdiction of Europe. It was fer from the thoughts of the Emperor to set himself up as an arbitrates. To enumerate the dangers which threaten the peace of the world is superfluous; those dangers are evi. dent. Was this a Utopia? Recent events prove the eon trary, and justify sooner than we thought the Eat. perorts provisions. The King of Denmark diem; passions are inflamed, the peoples grow excited, and the Governments undecided balanee 'between the letters of treaties and the national sentiment of their country. A. Congress might alone reconcile the sta tics of the sovereign., bound by oonventioni m andttte legitimate aspirations of the peoples. The refusal of England has unfortunately ran. dared impossible the first result that we had hoped for from the appeal made by the Emperor to Europe. There now remains the second hyeothesia—the rotted Congress. its realization depends upon the will of the sovereigns. When a general Congress was in question, the Em peror could not, without changing the part he had traced out for Lime°lf, draw up a programme, or concert with some of the Powers, in order to submit afterward to the others a plan prepared beforehand, and commence thus with a negotiation distinct from the deliberations in which he had decided to present himself without preconceived ideas, and free from special ergagemente. But as this reunion cannot now become complete, it will not have the arbitrary authority belonging to an European Congress. We feel, therefore, that before meeting the sovereign should instruct their foreign ministers to agree upon the questions to be discussed, in order that the C4n press may have more chance of leading to a practical result PRINCE NAPOLEON AND THE PRO, , ,PECTS OF WAR The Nation reproduces, from the l'Or , lned of Vienna, the following letter, attributed to Prince Napoleon, and expressing an opinion that war le inevitable.

The Surrey S.andard gives the following account of the way in which the police succeeded in performing the hazardous duty of serving the smomonses : The sumniOniee were handed over to Superintend ent Bennett, to find out the men, and serve mei personally, if possiblo. Mr. Bennett immediately proceeded to London, and solicited the assistance of one of the metropolitan police. They went to the bar of the public house kept by Robert Travers (who is a men of color) in Castle street, _Leicester square. Mrs. Travers Raid Mr. Travers was not at home.. Mr. Bennett - •s colleague, however, knew Travers, and, after waiting tome time, heed his voice. Re was soon found and eon ed with a summons.

They then went to Holywell lane, to the 01(1 King John public bowie. kept by James Mace, who, it was stated, bed gone into the country, 10 it was un certain when he would return. Mier going to a number of other places visited by fighting men, near midnight Mr Bennett and his companion pulled up at the Pavilion nestle, Whitechapel. By persuasion and threats, they got to the stage by a private entrance. In 'the boxes they found King, Alter reading the summons to him, he wee very ex cited, used bad language, and said they all ought to he ashamed of themselves to summon him. Super intendent Bennett then served the summons on him. In the same box was "Boss" Tyler. On Super intendent Bennett reading the summons to him, ins said : "My name is not Boss Tyler [Boss, it ap peared, was only a nickname, he having only one rya], and it is an insult to call me that name." Suporintengent Bennett said "You are known by that name, and I shall serve the summons upon you." Be replied : "I shan't take it, and if you take the liberty to touch me with it, give you some thing." 'Mr. Bennett's colleague said : "Boss, Its no use to talk in that manner; we know you." And Boss, after giving a verbal opmimen of ruffian iam, cooled down, and invited his "friends" to crick, which they declined. Two other men then came up. to whom Tyler said Why the ain't you summoned l You was at the tight, as well as me." The men said: "Nonsense, Boss; you know we were not there."

Blow, M. 0., from Missouri, intro. duces to the publio the following letter from Mr. James Yestmar,, President of the sanitary Com- Itiliazio. of St. Louie: The Government roust first adopt the policy of leasing small farms, say from 00 to 200 or 300 sores to 'suit the convenience and means of persons desiring to lease. This should be done as speedily as possi ble, and publicly announced, as leases should be ruses by the let of February, or very soon thereafter, as the land should be plowed and cotton all planted by the let of April. Parties proposing to lease theca lends should take with them evelytling deemed necessary, as nothing is to be he din the country except labor. Say, for a farm of 100 acre , dvo or six good mules will be re quired, one good wagon, four plows, hoes, and such other farmir g implements as. may be necessary. They should also take with them, or arrange to have sent, from time to time, feed for mules, nufficient to last six or eight months until the corn and fodder, which they would grow, would be ready for use. Also, !MC prOViriono, gooS bacon or pork, and corn to make meal and hominy_ Also, good material for negro clothing, ouch as heavy brogans, linseys, jeans, and osnabuige. Under the present system of leaning, the wages of a negro is $7 per month, women $O, the lessee finding them and ouch persons as are im• Me °lately dependent on them. The ration furnished per week, under the lemie system,-is four pounds Of polls or bacon, or six pounds of freahor salt beef, ten pounds of corn meat or six pounds of flour, two pounds of beans, peas, rine or hominy, and one pint of molasses. I hope to see some charges in the present system, that is, better pay for the laborer, and that the la borer should feed and clothe himself and family. Hand can be procured, but mostly women and young boys. although I doubt not that large num bers of able-bodied men will come in, so moon as they know that permanent arrangements are made for employing them. The wages should be increas ed at least to the former hire of the slave when cotton was worth but ten Cents per pound, the. la borer to feed and clothe himself. I give herewith. an estimate for the entire expenses of stocking and working, 100 acres of land with product of same.
