In tho Bourse of a veefr

theeitjfatiQß with lightning speed. Ihe
fdV report# from the N"r;bern Army
were dreadful; they produced the im
pression of a disorder, such as hitherto
was unknown with Austrian armies, and,
.according even to Prussian report*, did
not actually i>;pt>r in the bfttfe oi Kon-i
•iggrat* (Sadow#/) The seyx-ral parts of
the army are joining again, and will stand
nnder the walls of t)lm®t» b/ to morrow,
(ought death in the battle.—
Ramming and Gab'enz, according to la-'
*sl reports, have proved themselves wor
thy «112 iheir good name. Of the Austri
pu BoJd*wrs, publio opinion is everywhere
that they figbt heroically.—
Tbis fame will not be lesfeued by
campaign in Bohemia. Byt t,h# tsc,tical
dispositions of fjbe ComimaLder in-Chief,
the tocauiand of several certain corps

/he Subsistence Department, was exceed
,Bgly faulty. Nevertheless the loss of
,<tne battlo could nevgr bare hud so de
pressing effeetj if onr ruler* had haen
conscious that jt/hey are the represents
tives of the public spirit, borne up by the'
/•onfidenoc of tlie people. However in
genious, experienced aud well -meaning a
statesman may be today, without a broad
«oaceetion with the cititcns and without
the consciousness that he is but the col*
leotive expression of their wayyp and de
sires, he can achieve but Julie in modern
time#. The policy of J.|iu mere balaucing
of forces does no lwK er " ll ®j w-nt of
initiative and ()l development. destruction
of character and of material means, is
fhi} eoosequuuce. Austria, therofore,
;nust niako her election ; it may not be 1
cany, but put off it can v.iw only be for a
few pecks. History and the nature of
things point us to tho fact that Vienua
and l'esth are tfco constitutional centers
of tho Empire; in other things we must
advance to a similar g, r oupitfg and ar
rangement of nationalities as exist in
Hwitserland. But of this hereafter. For
tho present thore :« yet in Hungary an
untouched stream of power »nd njanli

the people aro much more courageous
than is believed ; but it must not be look
ed upon with the eyes of t()ose Bohemian
authorities, who \yere fjrai in flight and
behind in everything eise. Vienna a ' Bo
has higher and uoblcr desires than to be
•aved from the danger of an invasion.—
Considering tho enormous Pru sian los
ses, the flanking position of the army at
JJlmuti!, tho vast distance from there to
♦he Danube, the prospective liberation of
.our Southern army, and the threatening
attitude of Napoleon, our military condi
tion appears anything else but hopeless
Our political «ud financial dungera por
tend greater dangers. An arniistiue of
six weeks septus either toq long or too
sljorf. That Austria, exclusive of Ven
etia, should suffor a loss of territory, we
do not believe; but in the future conse
quence lies the danger. Shall these not
consume us, not a ui"mcnt ought to be
passed to free the powers of tho people,
\o porrect the preseut evils through a free
expression of public sentiipent pi)d opin
ion, and by the culture of knowledge of
ynind and of labor, to constitute the basis
for a sound organ zation of the State.
The Prussian Needle Gnn,
JJeJ'ore the commencement of the war
agitating Europe, it was thrown out that
Prussia had in her possession a secret, in
a new kind of fire arms, which would
make her invincible. It was stated that
the inventor was guarded night and day
to prevent his revealing the secret. It
will strike a fatal shot at five hundred
paces distance, and we|| (fained su|d|prs
ean fire it four 01 fire times a minute, so
that during a charge of the enemy's cav
alry, the Prussian soldiers—making ev
ery allowance for the excitement of the
combat—can fire at least three times be
fore receiving the horsemen with the bay
onct. As to preoision, tbe Prussians,
with this formidable weapon, are said to
Jiit their target ninety time? out of every
hundred. The following description is
given by the correspondent of the New
York Timet:
'I This arm, already adopted ip the
Prussian army, is a carbine o« aeedle
gun, that is to say, a central Oritur gun,
being loaded from the breach, on a sys
tem similar to that of the guns which
•re beginning tube used by our gr cat atp-
jateurs of tbe chase. The cartridge ia
placed in the chamber with the rapidity
witich is required to discharge the gun
of and nil other pieces in
vrhicfe the barrel is discharged by a sim
ple movement. This barrel receives its
«toarge and is restored to its placo iu a
few Because. The firing, in place of be
ing determined by tho employment of a
cap, as in our fire arms, is produced by
ihe cowtact of a needle with the cap.
grljicb cay u placed in the centre of the
cartridge, and the movement of this nee
die it produced by the play of a battery
which works upon a strong spiral spring
placed the lock of the gun. This
spring runs through the powder and
pushes against ac explosive lozenge, cap
or priming placed betweeu the charge and
the ball. The firing then is central, in
ferior and instantaneous. Thf powder
xaking its full force of expansion at a
time, the charge may be less considera
ble ; the piece beiug rifled, the precision
is much greater. This portable fire arm
beiug light does not fatigue the soldier,
nnd being loaded by the breach, and tbe
priming lining attached to the cartridge,
the discharge may succeed each other
in as rapid successiqp as those fired from
e revolver. Such is the weap
on which has excited so niuoh ridicule in
so many military circles iu Europe, and
«112 which Prussia is making such tprrible
use today to her own aggrandisement."

The Mask Thrown Off.
When the President resolved to Uciray
the Republican party mid Jiand over, it'
possible, tlje gowowment to the control
of the rebels uad copperheads. he thought
it prudeat, as far as practicable, to con
ceal liifl real design. He repelled as an
insult the insinuation that he meditated
treachery; protested he honestly meant
to eschew the path of Tyler and Fillmore,
and auowed that whatever differences ex
isted between himself and the tufa who
aideo his election, he would figbt out l
soside the Republican lines. There ygyi
»6 sincerity in these protestations, fty-
was essential to his Policy. \Yhat
e hoped was by making these cwwpnra
tively pacific and honorable decimations
to alienate many Republicans from their
associations, and to attach tbeiu to
his fortunes ; in tho end to lead them in
to the camp of Democracy. From the
this was apparent to some, but not
to • Now, subterfuges and disguises
pre discarded ; the amalgamation of the
Republican followers of the President
with the Democrats is openly urged, and
measures for its accomplishment actually
t ken.
Jii#t here the difficulties of the P«sj-
Aeut reajly begin. Doubtless the Demo
crats are rejdy to accept the offices, or
any proportion of them, from t]»e Presi
dent. So far as his schemes for the fu
ture icotcur with their own, they are wil
ling to endorse his ideas. But they aro
not eager to accept of him and his scores
or two of followeis, as their party leaders
What they did by Tyler and FiHmore,
they are not inclined to do by hij# and
hi«; but beyond the measures of Demo
cratic precedent as in the
cases of those emiftflat apostates.
Not is thjs «U Somo Republicans
who werf bewildered by the President's
sgj)|ilstries into the acceptanoe and ad
vocacy of his Policy, have drawn back
upon finding into what company ho woijld
introduco theui. Loyal themselijes, ifl
all their principles aud sentiments, per
haps by temperament or conviction mov
ed to deal leniently with enemies over
thrown, they had no thought of surren
dering the government into tho hands of
the men who madly sought its life. Fin
ing such the eutcrtuinnieut to which they
were invited, they arc making haate to
vindicate their fame ip returning to the
old affiliation.
What consolation the President will
find in the Philadelphia Convention the
event must discloso. We do not look
with trepidation or despair on its convo
cation We like Free Spe.ch. Using it
ouiselves, we are willing every body else
should avail themselves of it. Let the
rebels and their sympathizers, together
with the Conservatives, meet and say
what they want. They may help to a
better understanding of the situation ;
but we have not much faith they will,
as we judge the Convention is quite like
ly to be rent by dissentions; or if they
agjec at all, to agree in making such de
mands as the President will hardly dare
affront tho mas«»s ol loysl people bp en

When tho )iMt Constitutional Amend
ment passed, the understanding, in Con
gress and out, was that op its ratification
by any one of t)je seceding States the
delegations from such States should be
admit'.cd to seats in the Senate and House
of Representatives. On l9th l9th inst.,
Gov. Browulow telegraphed to Washing
ton that the Tennesaeo Legislation had
ratified the Amendment, 43 to 11 —two
refusing to vote, thus uiak'tS 56 WBHi
bers, a fulj quorum, jiresent when the
vote was taken.
As soon as his telegram was reoeivod,
a motion was made in the House to ad
mit the TeuncHsee members to seats.—
This was resisted by Mr. Stevens from n
desire to ascertain whether or not the
Amendment had been sanctioned iu a
way to be legally bipding- He finally
succeeded ip getting tbo question put
over to the ue*t day, when the joint res
olution passed, twelve members dissent
ing. among them Mr. Thomas Williams,
but not Mr. Stevens.
The two members of tbe Tennessee
Legislature who record their votes were
recusants brought into the hull by 'he
Sergeant-at-Aruis. This Is cue of the
duties of that t fficpr in all deliberative
bodies. At Washington, quorums of one
or both Houses are frequently obtained
through his instrumentality, and no one
has ever questioned the legality of pro
ceedings had under such coerced attend
ance. The members are bound in htw to
be present, and when they fail voluntar
ily to be iu-their places, it is reasonable
»ud right they should be constrained.—
A member wlio so wishes can resign, but
he is nover at liberty to defeat legislation
by absenting himself without leave flrst
asked and obtained.
Upon the adoption of the joiptresolu
tion by the Scpatc the members elected
for Tennessee will he ut liberty to present
their credentials. It docs not follow that
whoever presents credentials, duly attcs
ted. will be admitted. Each House still
rctaius the r.ght, and is in duty bound,
to iuquirc into the loyalty of the holders
of credentials The Test Oath is still in
force. A claimant who cannot take that
Oath mint surely stand aside. But be
yond this, each House has a right- to its
own standard of loyalty, and may exclude
any one who does not come up to it. On
this head the right of each House is full
pud osclpstve Even the President has
aftrmed this right in very strong tpripp,
and on various occasioas. There is po
probability tbat the Senate or House will
enforce a factious or unreasonable stand
ard of loyalty ; but it ought to be under
stood from the beginning that leaders in
the Rebellion "must take back seats;"
that no inau will be admitted whose hands
are stained with the blood of tbe defen
ders of the Goverptflept There are men
in eaph of the revolted States, eminent
ly fitted for the performance of Congress
ional duties, *ho pan qualify under this
standard, and if the Southern people are
j pot in a frame of mind to elect them,
they are not yet in a mood to take part
in fne national deliberations. — Pitt*. Ga

Soou after the Constitutional Amend
uiciit was posacd by Congress ant] certified
to tlii different States by the Secretary ol
State, Governor Brownlow eallod an ex
tra session of the Legislature, in order to
have immediate action on it, preparatory
to of Tennessee to her lull
fights as a State in the Union. The Pres
ident was opposed to the adoption of this
amendment, and.it is alleged threw
the weight of his influence, against it in
Tennessee 1 The result was that sonje of
the members of thp i,Q(ju!ature absented
theniscjvps from their Kats, foi the pur
pose of leaving the House without a quo
rum to do busiucss. The Sergcant-at-
Aruis was sent out and a sufficient num
ber dually obtained, whpq t|iu ameinl
rnent was finally passed by a vate of 43
to 11 —two members refusing to vote. ,
Upon the consumation of this grand
achievement. Governor Brownlow tele
graphed to Bingham, of the House, that
the amendment was adopted ; and, after
Lis congratulations, requested him to
give his compliments to the "Dead Duck"
in the White House ! Upon ih<" receipt
of this news a joint resolution was at
onceinttoduced declaring Teunessee again
restored to her former relations to the
Union, which passed both branches witli
unt much delay, and was finally signed by
the Preside»t after a little growling ip a
special message
Soon after this result, the wo miters
present from this S'ate oamo forward and
were sworn into office An exception,
however, was mado in the Sanate, in the
case of Patterson, one of the Senators
elect, who, it was alleged, has filled the
office of Judge in a gtate Court uudprthe
Confederate Government to which he hid
sworn allegiance. An effort was made
by his friends to have thetest oath waiv
ed in his case, on the grounds that he had
bpen in heart a Union man all the tiine,
and that he had only taken the oath from
necessity and under protest. A resolu
tion to this effect passed the Senate, but
was lost in the House (being a concurrent
resoluiion). So the matter goes over for
the present to be tenewed, we suppose,
when Congress meets in December.
Since writir.g the above, we learn Sen
ator Patterson came forward and took the

SfltTii CARQMN*, July 10, 'B6. |
FRIEND KOBINSON S —l promised to
give you in my next letter spme account
of the nf raising the sea-island oot- |
lon, of the characteristics of the natives,!
Ac., nnd, although a little slow a 1 out it,
will now attempt to redeem my promise.
The sea-island cotton oan only be grown
along the ooast, and on the islands where
the soil and atmosphere are impregnated
with salt. The ttsplo of ifcVi et>tton is
twice or three times as long as that of the
upland eotton and of much finer texture,
and brings in market about five tiuies tfco
price ef the ether. Some loU were sold
U#t spring as high as two dollars »»d sev
enty-five cent* par pot»»i«i r »»4 it is M
pen tod that all the cotton raised on the
islands this year will bring at least one
di'llar and fifty cents per pound.
A good average crop yields one hund
red pounds of giuncd cotton to the acre,
(two hundred have been rtispd) a ld oae
prime hand can. with the hoe alone, work
frouffour to five acres of land.
The land. whet* ouCtirated every year,
has to be manured with salt mud from
the surrounding marshes. When this is
done, wotk should be commenced in Jan
uary. Heretofore the land has always
been prepared for planting with the hoe
alone, but northern men who are going
to try planting next yeir, expert to per
form must of the work with ploughs
Christy aqd Kennedy from Pcrtersville,
have planted, this year, over ono
hun dred and fif'J »«r<» of Cflttou in whieh
they have used the plough extensively,
and they have onp of the finest crops on
: tbu Island.
The first operation in preparing the
laqd is termed "fisting this is done hy
dragging all the dead grass or other veg
etable matter on the surface, intothe al
ley between the oil) cotton rows, and with
the t> ue "ff about two- inches
in dppth of the surface of tho toil*'so as
to hril*£ #'! tho grass- roots into a heap
wtth the matter already collected tf
there was much grass and weeds on the
ground, this operation should be perform
ed tiarly so as to allow it to decay before
columenciug the second operation which
t{nued ''banking, 5 *
This consists ip going over the ground
aj£»iti npd hauling a considerable quanti
ly of larth on top of the "listing," farts-
ing a had about twenty inches wide and
ten inches high. This jLs neatly round
ed up, and the earth on t|ie top pulveri*
led. The grqpid is then rea lv pff plant
ing, which is doue at auy time from the
first to the twenty fifth of April. These
beds. or bands, are five feet apart, and
the seed U droppad i» » boU wad* by a
stroke of th« bye in the top of the bed,
at distances of from twelve to eighteen
inches apart, and from foar to six saads
in a place and covered with two or three
inches of toil,
A&M the ootton has grown to a height l
of thaca or four inches, the hoeing com
mences, the amount of which depends on
the nature of the soil and on the season,
as the grass mutt Ik- kept down ; but in
dependent of the grass the cotton requires
ahoty£ four hoeings and at each of these,
one or two stalks of ootton is removed
fruiu eaojj bill «ofil but one stalk is left.
Tt)is thinning process requires experi
enced hands to perforin it or the crop may
be ruined. Tha plant is bisexous, (I
think that is the term ) having both male
aifi) female plants, and, as is generally
th» case, only the female will produce
any thing; the male plants arp all thinned
out, and judgment is in seleot
iqg the proper stalk to remain as some
stalks will shoot up tall andaijljr put ont
branches near the top; the object is to
leave a stalk that will throw out branch
es from th<s very bottom. An experien
ced hand will also decide at a glanee
which plants will produce the Aua*t oot
ton.
About the second hoein» the operation
of hauling is also performed. Ttiia con
sists in hauling the tuaiu part of the soil
betvpen the roys, up on the top and sides
of the bed.
The last operatiop before pieking sea
son i» termed "laying by the crop." In
thi* uli the soil in tb* sllo. is drawn up
o<t the oottoin row, leaving the bjttom of
the allej' ju the shape of the letter V, and
the cgtfjun row; a mound about two fret
high, fire feet wide at the the base, »j)d
one at the top; this is done just before
the plant gets so large that hoes cannot
be used without injury to it. After thin,
if the grass gPt# too rauk, (which is sol
dom the case) it can only be removed by
th« band, from around the root of the
plant.
Cotton planted io April is in full bloom
about the lUlh at' July, and I am told
the pods begin to open and the picking to
commence nbotit the first week in Sep
tember, and ol'tcu continue? until the last
of December.
Cotton is undoubtedly the most profit
able crop that ean be cultivated. Y< u
can make tljo papulations for yourself.—
Hand* tan b» hi rod at 810, or at most,
Silt dollars per mouth aud rations. Tbo
latter usually consists of a bushel of corn,
12 pounds of pork or b&ooir, a htili gaV
lon of fcurlasses, anl a little salt, por
month Uy using a mule and a plough
to every four hatrds, twelve hands will
work one htfndred acres of cotton, aud
twenty-five or ihirty of corn or other
provisions. And it is safe to olicayi cal
culate on 75 pound* to the acre, (you jpaj
get twipe that amount) aud fur yours 00,
at (oust seventy-five cents per pound for
cotton, as the pea-island always so|4 at
from forty to fifty ocnU por pouud; One
man can manage three or four hundred
uuros eually,
Now is a very good time to purchase
lands here, as farms that before the war
sold at from sixty to ninety dollars per
acre, can now b«r bought at from thirty
to fifty.
And my opinion Is, after six month's
reafcfeticc here, that any northern nmn
who cotoff and suttlct here, minds bis
owft bijstasfss, and don't strive to make
himself obnoxious by continually harp
ing on questions on which he may differ
in opinion with the old residents, will be
welcomed and treated eourloously and
fairly.
The old citizens here discuss freely I
with northern gentlemen the questions
on which the two sections have differed
fof th« last forty veal's, and discuss in a
friendly and reasonable manner, but do
not appear to be particularly fond of such
discussions. They appear to acoept the
new condition of things pretty cheerful
ly and are inclined to give the 'rco la
bor system « fair and impartial trial. A
few have faith iq it, Out most are doubt
ful of its success as applied to cotton Clo
ture. From my own observation* I hare
HP doubt of it? efifirc success ; but it may
require a few years to give both planters
and laborers the education that is neces
sary ta iDuke it a complete success.

their iuibib'ng and hiding places, ready

thus making the night hideous with
their bacchanalian revelry. While they
were in this condition, a peaceable and
respectable citing passing along the pave

the inhabitants in the aroused

these contemptible deeds, and perfected

their boisterous conduct they were now
ready to proceed to the various points ol

The brawl wa« be*un by the utterance
of such howlsj screams and jells as would
have been shaped and fashioned "PI.V by

they took to be with them, and which we
apprehend, were stronger than wine,

A New and Grand Fpoch in Medicine!
J>ft, MAUUICIJ is the founder of a new
Medical System ! The quantiurians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paralyic tbe bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health aud appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary l'ills, and-cures the
most viruleut sores with a box or so of his
wonderful aud all-healing Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast
superseding all the stereotyped nostrums
of the day. Kxtraordinary cures by
Maggiel's Pills and Salve have opened
the eyo* of the public to the inefficiency
of the (»o called) remedies of others, aqd
upon which people have «o long bliptjiy
depended. Maggiel's Pills are qotof the
class that swallowed by the do»en, and
of wbioll every box full takea creates an
ahsulute necessity fur another- Ope or
two of Muriel's Pills suffices to place the
bowels in perfect urder, tone the stomach,
cieates ao appetite, uni re.ider the spirits
light sml buoyant ! There is no griping,
ap<ltH> reaction in the form of constipa-
Voq. If the liver is affected, its func
tions arc restored; and if the nervous
systciu is feeble, it is invigorated. This
lust quality makes the medicines very
dosiraMe fir the wants of doliouto fe-
I males. Ulcerous aud eruptive diseases
arc literally extinguished by the discn
fectaut powur of s Salve. In
fact, it is heiu announced that MAQOIEI/H

Such a thing is not only potable—-

Napoleon's overtures are not only spurn

It is too preposterous to think of it a min

I'russia commenced this War, was a closer

provinces she would thereby lose, by thu
cession of lfts<o-Cassel, llcsse Darmstadt

above named States are to be indemnified
by receiving t|>e Prussian pruviuees of
the lett bauk of tI»P Whiuc. Truly
We do not know what to a .inire morn
in this proposition, its stupendous ins
solcnoo or its deep cunning. Franco
offers to the victorious Prussians as
a oompensMtion what is even now In
their possession, and endeavors to uollect
on its frontiers a crowd of small Prince.*,
who would have to look to France for
protection, and would in reality be noth-.
ing better than French vassals. Prussia
might as well commit suicide at ooce, as
accept such a proposition. If she would
not consent to have weak I'cmuark stand
with one foot on Gcruiau territory in tho
North —she oan impossibly suffer power
ful Frauoe to enjoy this privilege in tbo
West, and this proposal is tkjwefare as
absurd as the first. Not even never
does Napoleon allow to Prussia, although
it could, if hostile territory, with opo
blow sever tho vital arteries of Prassia.
No liadeo is to receive it as compensation
of territory ceded to Franee; Or, da
these propositions contain uo demand for
land on the side uf Franc? ? Some towns
and districts were kindly permitted to
joiu France, If su inclined, and if this is
not a demand clearly expressed, we con
fess pot to kqow the meaning of the

Ab a matter of oaurso, Prussia could
not, did not foi a moment meditate tho
qooepvion of tho«6 proposals. What alio
demands, ii in keeping with her achieve
menu: exclusion of Austria from tho

eral States, the right of Prussia to com
mand the Federal army and to represent
Germany at the foreign Courts. This ia
worthy of Prussia, but N-ipoleao becomes
alarmed, he sends the Prussian demands
to all the foreigu Powers and points, to.
them, as something injurious to European,
