TUE DECLINE OF ENGLISII, MANU
FACTURING INDUSTRY.
Very recently, Great Britain boasted her
self the work-shop of the world. Hert fab
rics ha every branch of textile construction,
her -maohinery, her simpler metallic pro.:
ducts, her contribiltions, in' short, to the
material needs of society all over the globe,
once - gave her the control of every market
'to which she had access on equal terms,,
simply because - British goods were the.
cheapest and best. The mineral wealth,
In coals and metallic ores, with_which a
bountiful nature had endowed her, lay per
haps at the bottom of this great superstruc
ture of manufacturing enterprise, skill
and capital, which in a few- gene
rations has • rapidly advanced the
• United Kingdom to a leading position among
the producing peoples of the earth. 'So
potent has become the influence which Eng
lish manufactures have gained, not only
upon foreign markets, but reacting upon
the whole range of questions affecting the
interior condition of the people of that Em
pire, that the past half century has wit
nessed the elevation of Productive Industry
into the very highest practical lank - as a
social and political power, in the `internal
concerns of, the, kingdom : ; From the days
of, the first Reform-bill and of the first for
midable agitation for'a modification of - her
Corn-laws,•the tendency of public affairs
has teen ever inclining more completely
to be .governed, by the interests, which
equally expressed the pentiments, of the
'middle classes of the people, and in these
classes manufactures, operative production,
have decisively assumed the lead.
The middle classes .of the British people
have little community of interest with the
higher ranks of heieditary privilege. We
may be amused with occasional exhibitions
of that pitiable , weakness of self-respect
which some writers call snobbery or flunk
eyism—meaning, th i ereby, a degraded and
still more Aegrading sense, really often 'un
founded ill fact, of inferiority in the presence
of mere titled iink,—but, in the main,it must
be - admitted, of the English middle classes
of the later period, that they have shown
a dignified consciousness of their own great
social influence and political power, and that
thousands ,Of instances may be found of
Commoneis who have been the architects of
their own fortunes, who appreciate the po
tency of their class as the great spinal coi
-1 ,umn of English independence and strength,
l and who (, justly consider themselves at
{least the peers of the proudest Dukes in the
'realm. But, between this middle class and
the masses ,of the' people below them in
wealth and influence, the connection is,
however, direct and constantly maintained.
No conventional but impassible barriers
of caste and constitutional distinction septi-_
rate s any portions of the English
commonalty. The humblest- factory boy,
the meanest navvie or the most ob
.scure miner may . legitimately - aspire
to wealth, with the station , and influence
following in its train. The meanest En
glish subject may obtain the highest untitled
distinction, simply through the force of his
own.natural energies, acquired skill, or that
good fortune which usually results frOm a
combination of both. The middle class, of
which kits.wnromr, ! WATT, STF,2IIZINSON,
Paw, Conime and Itmono are represents-
fives, has been and continues to be steadily
recruited from the mass of the lowlier peo
' ple of England. .
It is thiii class 'which, developing and
swelling through two generations the tide of
Material prosperity in the Empire, by mining
and manufactures, and with them'the result
ing and dependentcommerce,have owed their
success to the advantages of superior skill
and science directing their competition with
the Industries of-other nations of% Christen
dom. Precisely in the proportiOn that Bri
tish practical science and the higher type of
its mechanical skill have .borne to the de
grees of those qualities 'exhibited by other
peoples, in that proportion have English
goods, the results of her industry, controlled
the markets Of the world. Until yery re
cently, the superiority of her productions
hes been everywhere acknowledged,' even to
a very great extent in such =viten; as those
of America and France, and _British indus
try has been accordingly stimulated. '
We now note the most decided evidences
that Operative Production in Great Britain
is chee and at leait standing still, if ,
not retrograding in the competitive conflict
with rival nations The American market
is measurably lost, and on the Continent of
Europe she now meets' the' 'active,' MOH
gent and successful rivalry of labor more
perfectly trained, 'of capital more scientifi
cally directed, and of an energy so applied
iti theleading lines of material eroduction
that France, Belgium, Prussia and Saxony
hold their own markets,* and- even export
largely of their fabrics into the United King
dom.'"The English have inventive gen
ius. They , possess remarkable power
of adaptation in availing 'themselves
of the scientific discoveries and prac
tical attainments of other nations. English
Science is never to be decried,' while we re
member DAvY, Nnwton, P&RRADAY, and
thelong roll of other names - , familiar to the.
world, which have 'Made England Mufti-,
sus in the past. ',Yet English manufacturti
are confessedly drooping; a paralysis seems
to be gradually creeping over her produc
tive industry, and Englishinen perceive with
alarm that they are no longer first in all or any
of the marketi of the globe. ,The industries
of the American end European continents
not only dispute with them the lead which

TriTTSBUItGIi GAZETTE:' TUESDAY TULY. 28, 1868.2
Tug Fur - price BILL, which passed the
Senate on Saturday in the form agreed upon
by-the Committee of Conference, passed
thellouse yesterday. The President signed
it.; This bill provides for the new loans, the
avails of which are to be applied to taking
up and cancelling the 5-20 bonds. Both are
distinctly payable in coin. The first will
run thirty years, and draw interest at the
rate of four and a half per cent.: while the
other will run forty years, and draw interest
at the rate of four per cent. .No commis
sions are to be paid for the sale of either
of diese loans.
Two questions touching this matter now
await practical solution.
1. Will the holders of the 5-20 bonds'ex
change them for either sort of these Aids
It is apparent that any shotk given to the
national credit, by considerations involving
either its willingness or ability to meet its
obligations, will affect these various classes
of securities equally. Conceding that the
government is able and willing ultimately
to pay all its debts, then the holders of the
5-20 s will naturally weigh whatever uncer
tainty exists asto whether they are payable
in money . or currency, and whether or not
specie payments will be resumed before the
expiration of the full term of twenty years.
If thee resumption of specie payments before
twenty years shall Seem certain, then the
exchange or non-excbege will be deter
' mined mainly by a computation of which
bonds will afford- the largest amount of in
come. .
2. If the holders of the 5-20 s shall not see
proper to , take the new bonds in lieu of
those they now hold, can the new loans be
placed to a sufficient amount in the hands
of other persons ? • It may well be doubted
if there is a sufficient amount of capital un-
employed and eager for this sort of inves
ment to make the cancellation of the out
standing bonds, in the way proposed, alto
gether easy for the Treasury Departinent.
At all events, this will be fouad true, that
whatever shall tend to beget mistrust as to
the honorable intentions of the Government
will c'reate an indisposition to take either of
the new loans.
THE DEMOCRATS of South Carolina held
a State Conventloa, at Columbia, the other
day, to ratify the nomination . of SEmoim
and 131.Aut. GOT:PERRY, who bad been a
delegate, said that "WADE HAD:mow was
the lion of the Convection." And he
added: ,
"Hampton was courted by all parties, Worth,
South, East and West, and when. u a member of
the Committee on Platform. he submitted that see
rion which declares the reconstruction acts Told and
revolutionary. the rest of the Committee told him
to make it as strong as he pleased, they would en
dorse it." - • . •
Does it.gratify the Democracy of Penn
sylvania to be thus assured, upon indispu
table testimony, that the party has officially
committed the statement of its national prin
ciples to an unreconstructed and defiant
rebel like WADE Plastrroza What a nice
expounder of Democracy was this man,
who, on his way homeward through Balti
more, thanked the Maryland rebels for their
aid &ring the war ! He was is pretty man,
to demand, - in the name of a Democratic
Convention, the "immediate restoration of
all the State, to their rights, in the Union
under the Constitution !" What an admira
ble High-Priest or Demociacy, to declare
. the Wgislation of Congress revolutionary
and void ! With a WADI?. HAMPTON ticket
au4latform for the Presidency, and with
the miscegenating, • hybrid combination
which represents their minty politics, the
Democracy of Allegheny must feel proud of
a party which gives them these rebels, ex-
Know-Nothings and renegade Republicans
to vote for,;on a platform of secession and
the lost eau restored. 'Never, in our po
litical history, has the unwitting confi
dence of &party been so abused and out
raged by its leaders, as are the Democracy
of the North, this year. -
Taz . New York Democratic Empire Club
had a very refreshing season a few even
ings since. After speeches by an ex-rebel
General from Idississippi and a North Caro
lina preacher, who proved to the clear satis.
faction of the Club that the negro was, not
physically capable of being a man or a broth
er, and was therefore unfit to be made a cit
izen, HENRY Gwriiie, of Georgia, next took
the stand and pronounced a high eulogy up
on Democracy, This was not only well
enough, but it was all the better for the fact
that GW/NN was himself a negro, dark as
the ace of spades. Couldn't the Demo
cratic Committee of Allegheny get him to
come here and make speeches for their mis
cegenation ticket? He could advocate a
white man's government and would draw
fins audiences, especially if supported by
addresses from WADE HAMPTON and FOR
REST on the duty of loyalty to .the old,fiag,
and from their candidate for the State , Sen
ate on Know Nothing dark-lanterns, "the
Papists," and political consistency gener
ally.
• PRINCIPLES are of no consequence, said
the' New York - World on the morning when
the Democratic Convontion met. "If we
carry the election, it makes little difibrence
on what platform, or with what candidates."
Evidently, this has hien the ruling idea of
the party everywhere. The New 'York
platform is in consonance with that Idea,
i
and, as foot. candidates, the party swallows
rene ade Republicans or unreconstructed
rebe , "LINCOLN'S hirelings," or the ex
tinguished dark-lanterns of Know Nothing
ism, with equal alacrity. Nevertheless, it
might be rather a dangerous experiment for
S. miscegenation candidate in Allegheny
county to rehearse his old Know Nothing
oath of hostility to foreigners before a
Democratic audience. The question is,
him, many of our foreign-born citizens,
especially the Irish and Germans, intend to
support the ex-Know -Nothing Miscegena
tion ticket?

tharcwas written by LIZIOIAN ADLIIR, him

The Amazons of Paraguay
Apropos of the Amazons.of South Ameri
ca, it really appears that an army of .ffie .
women of - Paraguay has been enrolled for
service by Lopez. Brigadier Eliza Lynch
commands the main body, and her' right
wing rests on the, road to Villa Rica under
Mrs. Captain fierier°. • Tebiquary is • held
against the allies by Mrs. Lieut. Col. Mar
garet Fcreia. The rifle-green uniform of:
the lady officers is declared to be becoming
and worn with grace and self-possession.
The figure and extremities are well described
by the spencer and bloomers, and some of
the lady officers are types of beauty. Mrs.
Lynch, from her name would seem to be
Anglo-Saxon, but is,on the contrary, a
handsome Spanish bru ette, dark in feature,
i
of mysterious origin an a thorough milita ire,
who has fought several duels and wields an
iron sway over her command. There are
blondes too amongst the officers of
the Amazons of open . • One is des
cribed who holds ur male prisoners,
something as the Co air in the good old
1 3
days retained from a c ptured and murdered
crew the. Western f males as his slaves.
She is a slight, play ul-faced blonde wit 4
large blue eyes, square vitit,7.• teeth anti
back hair in braids like an English Mary.
She has battled for two years, has .been
wounded, always distiguished herself, and
IL
is twenty-three. In th army she is called.
a German', but her -n tty feet and small.
hands and her comm d of the Spanish,
English and Franch languages, likewise
reported of her, smack of Gallic birth and
the convents of France. She has been
known to have six captives in her house at
once, treated like war__ prisoners of rank,
dininr , at tier table, etc. . These prisoners
are those e she selected after her forays as be
ing of mien and bearing worthy of her hos
pitality. Other lady officers are like her
in, this respect, reversing the order of the
Oriental rover and his odaliaques, and
few of them of the higher rank are na
tives of the country, Ameiicans, French
and Germans some , are known to
be, and so popular la the rank and file 'that
relays of girls are constantly arriving at
headquarters from the provinces. •The
males are absorbed" in defending Humatia,
Timbo, Villa Ries and the fortifications at
lambare. There is no exageration, says
the Standard, of Buenos Ayeres, in the fast
that Lopez had ' commenced ' recruiting
women, though the writer cannot state - the
exact number of them under arms. But for
years a great deal of camp work has been
done in Paraguay by the female sex. The
trenches about Hun:mita were all made and
,shoveled by them, as wasinany an invading
soldier's grave. The steamers in the port
of Asuncion have been entirely discharged
and laden by the mothers and wives of
soldiers, and many of the rank and file
under Commander Eliza Lynch having lost
male relatives, fortune and home by the
war, now give all that is left—their lives.
The Fearful Famine In Finland.
Mr. Campbell, British Consul in Finland,
gives the following account of the famine
in that region :
"Never, perhaps, within the memory of
the present generation, has the Grand Duchy
of Finland experienced such a disastrous
year as the one lately closed. In the north
ern districts of the' country the crops have
more or less failed for ten successive years,
but the' appearance of the fields in the
month of July and August last led the least
sanguine to hope that the harirest of 1867
would be rich and abundant. The hope,
however, was but short-lived, for in the be
ginning of September, one night's frost
blackened all the crops and , plunged the
whole country into misery, famine and des
pair. To add to the distress, that dreadful
malady, ' the 'famine typhus,' soon made
it appearance, and for the last six
Months 'has been making fearful ravages
amongst the starving thousands. No dis
trict from the north of Finland to the south
has escaped it, and at this moment, even. in
Efelsmgrors, it is carrying off hundreds of
both rich and poor. It is stated on author
ity that during the past winter one tenth of
the population of Finland Lave fallen vie
time to this epidemic. Russia has certainly
done much to relieve the poor Fins. Fin-.
land itself has done its utmost, and the Eng
lish people, ever foremost to lend a helping
hand where misery and distress prevail,
have sent considerable sums of money for
distribution in the various provinces; but
with all this - the sufferings are tmparled.
The bread given to support life is composed
of pea straw , combined pith: Iceland moss
and a small proportion of flour. Some is
also made from the root of the 'butomns
umbellatus,' without any mixture of flour,
which has been tried with great success.
As a last rosource they are actually baking
and distributing bread consis ng of two
parts clay and, ono part flour."
The British Hugel
The London Teiegraph urge that speedy
and vigorous steps mast be taken to relieve
the Mitish Museum from the stat l e of plethora
In which it has so long been; but deprecates
e.ther the partition of its contents with Botith
Kensington, their dispersion elsewhere, or
the bodily removal of the whole collection to
some new site. The building itself, although
gloomy in .appearance, is not ugly; and so
simply massive are its proportions, that it
would easily and Eonsiderably be improved
by enlargement, either in the rear or laterally.
There is no reason, if the Duke of Bedford is
"agreeable," and terms can be come to with
the leaseholders, why block after block of
mean and shabby houses to the tight and left
of the Museum should not be absorbed
in new Grteco-Icnie constructions, and
where a crossing occurred between the
blocks, a handsomely arched bridge could
be thrown across the street, similar to those
which connect the Union with the Pitti
Gallery at Florence, and the Winter Palace
with the Hermitage at fit.':Petersburg. But,
as regards locality, the British Museum hap-
pens to be precisely where such an Institu
tion should with the greatest _propriety. be
situated. It is midway between the city
and the West end, and in the very heart of
middle-class and professional London. In
the Southern suburb it would degenerate:
into a quiet haunt for a fear dilettanti, and
of recreation for a floating population of
lounging young ladies and gentlemen,
children and nurserymaids.

TIIE Atlanta New Era thus felicitates its
readers upon the ratification of the Amend
ment and the restoration of Georgia to the
Union : • . •
By this vote Georgia emphatically pledges
herself to the permanent integrity of the
Union, and the sacreg.iipl;ti of the public debt.
By it .the policy of the Union men of the'
State is endorsed, and that of the opposition
condemned. Thus,: once more, .the people
resume their rightful sway, and reject the
leadership of extremists who would lead
them to irretrievable ruin.
Restored to the Union, Georgia may hope
for influx,of capital, increase of population
and production, the development of tier re
sources and largely augmented titellities for
communication with tlitirent portions of
her own territory, ,and 'her neighbors
and the world. A new impnl:e will be

On the last clay of the session of Congress
large numbers of persons are generally
present. This heti, however, has been an ex
ception, and when Congress assembled but
few spectators were present. The Senate
assembled Sunday night at half-past seven
o'clock. and remained in session until after
Iwo o'clock. Monday morning and before
adjourning disposed of all the Indian trea
ties made by the Indian Peace Commission- ,

At midnight it commenced raining, and
has steadily continued since that hour with
no prospect of its ceasing. Fears are enter

flooded, and great damage done to prop

Dispatches received from Savannah,

and that he will be represented in ihe corn

trial as a mere farce, and not worthy of se

News from Georgia announcing that Ex-

An Appeal to German CUizens.
The German Republican Club, of New
York, of which Dr. A. Jacobi is President,
has out forth an address to the Gerizana of
that State, in which the issue of the cam
paign is thus distinctly staled :
Shall peace be secured to the Republic,
according to the words of General Grant,
py wisely husbanding the results which
events have produced? Shall the daily life
of the citizen and the pursuits of business
take upagain their undisturbed course?
Shall the' honor and credit of the Union be
preserved ? Or, on the other hand, and in
accordance with the programme of the
Democratic party, as laid, down by their
candidate for the Vice Presidency, shall a.
new civil war be kindled, in order that all
things now existing and auspiciously regu
lating themselves may he plunged into in
terminable chaos, to the end that the de
feated enemies of the Union, and their al
lies, the crafty demagogues of the Demo
cratic party, may, again have an opportu
nity to domineer over and plunder the
country ? Shall the faith pledged by the
Republic to its creditors be broken, and
thus the finances and business of the corm
try be engulpihed in ruin and desolation?
This is the alternative to which in the last.
analysis everything that is said or done in
the present strife of opinions and purposes
reduces itself: Strip the kernel off the
coverings in which sophistry has disguised
it and you will find the naked question to
be simply this: ,Shall peace and prosperity
come to the Republic from the election of
November next, or reaction and a newcivil
war? Can there be any doubt fora moment
as to what every citizen who seeks the wel
fare of the country should do P. whatever
differences of opinion there maybe upon
matters of detail, no honest or thoughtful
citizen can desire the complete overthrow
of the present state of things; other
words, a second rebellion. - The Grant and
Colfax Campaign Club of the City and coun
ty of New. York, animated by the views
above expressed, and full of confidence,
turns to all the German-Americans of the
State with the summons: "Look and ex
amine for yourself, and decide for the good
of the Republic."

came up with a howitzer and'bred on the
Indians, who responded awl fell back,
when, being again reinforced, they made
a stand and drove the soldiers back, kill
ing one and wounding one.
