The criminal record of the last six months, as indicated in the press of the country both Jsorth and South, is absolutely appalling-, and calls loudly upon civil authorities and the public to adopt, if practicable, some more efficient measures for the protection of hu man life. We .find our exchanges, from day to day, filled with accounts of the most re volting murders and other crimes perpetrated in almost every city, town and neighborhood throughout the country. This slate of things unfortunately indicates a growing disregard of law, a reckless tempting of its penalties, and a disposition on the part of the passion ate and lawless, to resort unhesitatingly to deeds of violence and murder, to revenge any real or fancied injury. A New York City paper reports as many as ten murders that have occurred there within the short space ot time of one week, and most of them under circumstances of peculiar atrocity. Respectable and uuoffending citizens bave been shot down in cold blood. Similar deeds of violence have recently occurred in the States ot Kentucky and Tennessee and in other parts of the South. The simple recital of these painful facts is enough to chill one’s heart with horror —and when we come to think of the fearful consequences to others, the magnitude and fiendishness of these of fences are increased a hundred fold. In many cases a loving wife is murdered, chil dren made fatherless, and a wide circle of relatives and friends are plunged with the deepest grief. What is the lesson that communities ought to learn from crimes like these, now becom ing of such frightfully frequent occurrence ? We think that one thing that ought to be learned is the necessity of sterner, and of especially more speedy justice in the pun ishment of offenders against the laws. For years before the war there had been a con stantly increadng immunity secured to crim inals, through the quirks aud quibbles of the law, it? delays and uncertainties; and, as a consequence of the mawkish sentimentalism that has poisoned the public mind on the subject of capital punishment, until it has become to be understood that it by no means follows that the trausgressor will be hanged, because it is clearly proved that he has been guilty of deliberate murder. The reckless, presuming upon the aid of lawyers, the in efficiency of the courts and the looseness of public sentiment, confidently calculate that their chances for the gallows or the peniten tiary are quite small, and that, at least, they can postpone any punishment until the crime and its attendant circumstances of horror have passed away from public notice. The events of the last few years prove that their calculations in regard to the compara tive safety of murderers are but too well founded. To correct this uufortuate state of things in many parts of the country, the in fliction of the extreme penalty of the law ought to follow the conviction and sentence with the least possible delay. Unless the course of retributive justice is made more sure and speedy, there will soon be in many localities no security for human life. *• Georgia Items. —Some of the iuterior papers are depre cating the shipping north of osnaburg9, yarns and sheetings. On the ground that they are plentier in the Northern States than Georgia, so that it is like carrying coals to Newcastle. The scarcity of money, however, seems to render the exportation necessary. —Capt Dan Fry, formerly of the ill-fated steamer JacksoD, has contracted at the North for the building of a fine boat for the Chat ahoocliee. % —A pacing match between Mr. Louis Pic* quet’s c. m., and Mr. Sharkey's c. g. Pharaoh, came off last week. The geldiug won in 3.02, on a heavy track. A despatch from Wuskiugton states that there are no counterfeits of national curren cy, so far as known. There is slight dif ference between $5 notes issued to the first five or six National Banks and those subse quently printed, but only a trifling change of lettering/ The Nature or Diamonds. —The uondon Athenteuin says: Professor Gceppert’s long expected prize essay "On the Vegetable Nature of Dia monds” has recently been published, illus trated by colored plates. Experiments show that diamonds cannot be produced by Plu tonic agency, ns they lieroine black when subjected to a high degree of temperature. That they are, on the oontury ot Neptunian origin, and were at one time in a solt condi tion, is proved not only by the impressions of grains of sand and crystals on the'surface of some of them, but also by iuclosurc of cer tain foreign bodies, such as other crystals, germinatiug fungi, and even vegetable struc ture of a higher organization. If Professor Goeppert s conclusions be accepted, confirm ing and extending as they do tbe views held by Newtou, Brewster, and Liebig, diamonds seem to be the final product ot the chemical decomposition of vegetable substances.

The Late Prime Minister of Canada.— Sketch of his Life—How a Canadian Rebel became the Chief of the Govern ment. The Toronto Leader gives the following obituary of Sir E. P. Tache, who died at Quebec on Sunday last: Descended from an ancient French family, Sir E. P. Tache was born at St. Thomas, on the Lower St. Lawrence, 1795; and was therefore about seventy years of age at the time of his deatii. At the age of twenty-six he found in the breaking out of the war of 1812 an opportunity of gratifying those mili tary aspirations in which the first glimpse of the development of his character becomes apparent; and he became an officer in the Canadian Chasseurs. The close of the wvar left him, as it had found him, without a profession ; and it was now that he studied the profession of medi cine, which he followed till 1841, when for the first time he entered Parliament. This would have been rather late In life—he was then 46 years of age—to begin to take an in terest in politics; but if he had not before been elected to tbe Legislature he had not been indifferent to political affairs. lie felt toward the old ante-responsible Government regime of Lower .Cauada very much as the majority of his compatriots felt. When the Lower Canada Assembly refus ed to vote supplies, aud the Imperial Govern ment cut the knot of tbe constitutional diffi culty by seizing tbe public chest, Dr. Tache was one of those who thought and had the courage to say that this act of Imperial ab solutism dissolved the connection between the colony and the mother country. On the 16lh June, 1837, when Louis Joseph Papin eau was making the whole country ring with his complaiuts against the Government of Lower Canada, backed by that of England, a monster meeting ot the two counties of L’-Is let and Bellechasse, was held near St. Thomas. At this meeting Papineou was received with something like military honors—armed cavalry and the booming of cannon—by Dr. Tache and Messrs. Lalbutniue, Morin, Fortier and Fournier. Dr. Tache moved a resolu tion which was in effect a declaration ot in dependence. A wide gulf separates these times from those of later date, when Dr. Tucbe gets credit for having said—the speech owes its currency not to the steno- but to the recollection of one of his colleagues—that the lust guu that would be fired in favor of British supremacy in Cana da, would be fired by a French Canadian. Sir E P. Tache remained in the Assembly as a private member, from 1841 to 1847. In the winter of 1847-8, the Liberals had carried a large majority of the eleclious; and when the Lafontaine-Baldwin Ministry was form ed, Dr. Tache became Commissioner of Pub lic Works. In December, 1849, he became Receiver General. This office was held by Dr. Tache till near the close of May, 1856, when he reached the top of the political lad der. Sir Allan McNab had for some time been Premier. But the gout deprived him of the power of attending to his duties, and some of his colleagues intrigued against him, aud some of them resigued as a means ot ousting hint from the Cabinet. Sir E. P. Tache, who was probably not in the intrigue by which he was to profit, became Premier. Tired of the cares of public life,Dr. Tache resigued the Premiership and his two offices —for which he had taken only one salary— on the 24th November, 1857. Soon after he was loaded with honors by the head of a Government whom he, twenty-one years be fore, charged with having ruptured the con tract which existed between Canada and the mother eountry. Iu November, 1858, he received the honor of knighthood at the bands of Queen Victo ria, and iu July, 1860, he Mas appointed* lo the honorary ranks of colonel iu tbe Bri tish Army and aid-de-camp to the Queeu. He was also a knight of tbe Roman Order of St. Gregor}*. From November, 1857, to the Spring of 1864, Sir E. P. Tache was per mitted to enjoy retirement, when he was again summoned to public life as the head of the new coalition. The vicissitudes of the' life of Sir E. P. Tache are those of his country ; cirfcum stances bad much to do with his position and his political fortunes ; making them one thing to-day and another to-morrow. Ho was not a mere cynic ; but showed elasticity of temper enough to be* satisfied with the reforms he had asked, in the dark days of colonial misrule, and to change with the triumphs of reform from a revolutionary radical to one of the staunchest upholders of British authority in Canada. The Gold Regions of Canada. —lt is ¥)ut a few years since the auriferous deposits of Canada were considered of sufficient im portance to warrant investigation, but of late they have attracted considerable atten tion and the investment of some capital from tbe States. The best knqwn mines are those of the Chaudeire region, located on rivers Gilbert, Famine and Du Loup, about seventy miles east from Quebec. The only place, however, where laborers are actually mining is on the Gilbert river, a short dis tance from its mouth. Here are some forty or fifty men, who are said to average from $3 to $4 a day. A, company is erecting large works on the river, with a flume of 2,000 feet in length.— The river takes its name from that of the Gilbert family, who own land upon its banks. About thirty years since, a daughter, while leading a horse to water, picked up a yellow pebble about as large as a pigeon's egg. Her father, thinking it of some value, look it to a Quebec jeweller, who paid him forty dollars for it. Such a discovery in a Yankee neighborhood would have caused an investigation into matters very soon, but the real development of that region has but just begun. The Gilberts now let their lands to miners tor fiom SIOO to S3OO an acre. Agents from the United Slates are prospecting in the re gion about, but find the terms too high for profitable investments. Companies, however, arc building road3 aud otherwise preparing to develop the value of the country. Another mineral region attracting attention is a iew miles from the foot of Memphrema gog, and about ten miles trom Sherbrooke. The most extensive mine in this locality is said to be owned by a Boston gentleman. There are also other mines in various stages of progress, owned entirety or in part by persons in the States. While some of tjie talk about the value of the Canadian lands is possibly for speculative purposes, there is little doubt that the gold/egion, if properly developed, will afford a profitable return- The chief obstacle to an early success seems to be the exorbitant rates at which all pri vate owners hold their lauds, and the need of some liberal policy to render them acces sible. In Nova Scotia the product of the mines for 186* was $259,032, an average of $406 for each miner engaged. Most ol the capi tal invested here is from the States.— Boston Journal. t . The Convention of the| Protestant Epis cofai. Church. —The General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, which meets in October, in Philadelphia, jv*d be called upon to note a large number of va cancies in the House of Bishops. Since tbe last meeting, in 1856, eleven of the bisbop9 nave died, including Bishop Brownell, of Connecticut; DeLancey, New York; Doane, New Jersey; Potter, Pennsylvania; Meade, Virginia; Cobb, Alabama; Otey, Tennessee; Freeman, Arkansas; Polk, Louisiana; Boone, China ; and the suspended Bishop, Onder donk, of New York.

Cotton is n6t king. That is settled. But for all that, it i9 a magnate of tbe very first rank. And it will be a most serious mistake not to be prompt to recognize it as such, in this new era. It must hereafter, as before, tie tbe great regulator of our foreign ex changes, and thereby the great conservator of our financial soundness. Herein it ba9 a certain divine right which we could not alter if we would. Providence has ordained that the belt of North America embraced between the Atlantic and the Rio Grande, covered by the Southern States of this Union, shall by tbe region adapted above all others, upou the face ot the globe, for the growth of the best qualities of tbe cotton-plant. This can be said of no other American product ion. Wheat and all the grains, sugar, rico, tobacco, every agricultural staple produced by us, can be raised elsewhere, nearly if not quite as well. Other lands are dependent upou us for them only to a very limited* measure. They can meet but comparatively little of the heavy balunce that yearly accrues against ns. Without cotton, gold, tbe life-blood of our currency, must be continually drained away to satisfy these demands. How soonest to get our cotton production back to its amount before tbe rebellion—five millions of bales—is one of tlie most impor tant problems of the day. Two things only are in the way: a civil insecurity, repelling capital, and the disorganized coudiiiou of labor The first of these we trust will soon disap pear. We cannot reconcile it with any cur rent idea of the practical sense ol'Ameiicans to suppose that the Sputhern people will prefer to be in discord rather than harmony with the National Government. The sober second thought will prompt them to bury all past resentments, and to co-operate with the government for an establishment ot every civil safeguard necessary to universal protec tion. We cannot help believing that after a little time every Souttiem State will exhibit tbe same respect for all the great personal rights, as prevails here in the. North ; that all forms of political and social persecu - tion will disappear, and that capital will be able to plant itself anywhere in the South without the slightest misgiving of any soil. The more serions difficulty is the disor ganized condition of labor. We have no feeling but contempt for the men who are eternally fining fault with the feedmen.— Doubtlesss they are faulty enough; but what Gov. Johnson, of Georgia, said of them the other day, in the City Hall of Macon, is true to the latter: “Under the peculiar ciicum stances with which they arc surrounded, no people ever behaved better than the blacks have done.” Us course, they do not easily adapt themselves to their new situation; probably not more easily than do the mas ters themselves. * * * * It is doubtful whether they ever contract in dustrious habits as freedmen which will make good the amount of labor forced out of them under the old system, it is certain that, at the very best, this cannot be re alized for many years yet. If we rely upon emancipation to restore soon the old cotton crop realized by slavery, we shall certainly be disappointed. The training of the freed men to be capable gos this will require far longer time than we can afford to wait.— There must be other resources and other helps. What are they ? Northern and European laborers must be encouraged to become tillers of southern soil. Applications have already been made to our Foreign Emigrant Commissioners, from Southern planters, for field hands. The pretence that white men cannot work under the blaze of a Southern sun is too stale now to be heeded by anybody. The non-slave hokling Germans of Texas long ago proved that Southern cotton-raising is no greater tax upon tbe white man's constitution than Northern corn-raising. The lands which pro duce cotton are generally dry and healthy, and the white laborer needs only to be a little careful to be able to meet with peifect security every requirement in the cultivation of cotton, from the fiist plant to the last pick But the great agent, for the agricultural re storation of the South ought to be labor saving machinery. It is this which has ena bled the great Northwest to develop its re sources at sueli a marvelous rate. It. was this which made good the great drain of the strongest laboring men of that section, occa sioned by the war ; so that, though hundreds of thousands were taken from the field to tight through the four years’ war, the crops, instead of being reduced in amount, actually became larger than ever. It is a well known fftet, that labor-saving farm implements en able the farmers of the Northwest to accom plish three times the amount of labor that they could without them, with the same number of teams and men. These imple ments are applicable, good judges say, to the planting aud cultivation of coLton iu all its stages up to the picking, which must be done by band. Yet they have never been used for that purpose to any extent, worth mention ing. Slavery never had enterprise enough to venture upon new methods. * * * * It was content with mere brute force to produce its gains. Being rid of it, an opening is now made such as did not exist before, for the great inventions of civiliza tion. If a prompt resort is had to them, and if their management is consigned to intelli gent*and faithful hands, they will very soon restore the old cotton crops, however back ward the mass of the freedmen' may be in coming up to the white standard of. work. The importance of securing this end speedily forbids its being left to tbe contingency of tbe disposition or indisposition of the freed meu to do regular labor. It should be sub ject to no contingency; and this may be se cured by relying primarily upon white jabbr, and its mighty auxiliaries, labor-saving im plements. The queen of the Sandwich Island*. The New York Sunday Mercury having spoken of tbe widowed Queen of the Sand wich Islands, in terms of ridicule, au Eng lish gentleman, Wm. St. Maar Bingham,late Colonel in the Royal Life Guards and Artil lery, Hawaiian Army, has addressed a letter to the editor iu vindication of the Queen, in which he says: Her Majesty Queen Emma, consort of his late Majesty Kaincbameha IV, is the daugh ter of Doctor Rook, au able English physi cian, a gentleman and a scholar, who has resided on the islands tor upward of forty years (I believe now dead), and a native" princess his wife, a descendent of the grand father of the present monarch. She, Queen Emma, is a lady of great personal beauty and highly accomplished, with an education second to no lady in the United States; and so exemplary has her conduct ever been,that the voice of slander has never dared to raise itself against her. She is purity and virtue itself. She has not the dark tinged skin of tiie native of the South Sea Islands, but is as fair as any light brunette in this city, her hair black as the raven’s wing, andiustas glossy, in long silky tresses aud glorious curß. But why describe what I trust you may yet see! and for which my poor pen would be quite inadequate. Iu short, you can scarcely trace in her beautiful complexion any of the blood of heT native land. But even should you do so, is there disgrace or ridicule to be attached to her for that ? Nog decidedly no. She ought, if any, be more honored for it, as being of a race which, in despite of surrounding adverse circn instances, have raised themselves, almost unaided,from a state of absolute barbarism in the short space of eighty years,, to take rank among tbe Christian and civilized nations of the earth. Therefore, instead of holding the good little Queen of Hawaii up as a mark of ridicule, let us honor and respect her, should she come among us, 03 a good, virtuous, highly-educated, and exemplary lady. A Slcw*Cl»apter in Ainei-icaii History. [From the London Timc3.] The birthday of American Independence was duly celebrated yesterday, and never since tbe 4th of July, 1776, has that famous anni versary been ushered iu by events so grati fying to national pride. During the last four years, the most sanguine of American pa tiiots must have welcomed its recurrence with mingled feeliugs. However, robust his faith in (lie destiny of bis eountry, he could not shut his eyes to the evidences of actual disruption and possible dissolution. The foundations laid by Washington, Franklin and Jefferson had been displaced, and no one could predict, with confidence, that they could ever be restored to their original ‘posi tion. No wise man would, even now, com mit hinigelf to such a prediction; but experi ence has abundantly proved tbe extraordi nary strength of the fabric. So far, those w’ho believed in tjie native vitality of the great Federal Republic have a right to exult, but we venture to think that one or two speakers at Willis’ Rooms last uight, somewhat misstated the nature ot their victory. It is not Democracy that has van quished Aristocracy, but Federalism that has triumphed over State sovereignty, and es tablished the subordination of all other con stitutional rigbls to those of the central power. The result must be the reconstruc tion of the American Union, and it is diffl cult to believe that any future secession can be more formidable than that organized by Jefferson Davis. The Federal tie will pro bably be strengthened, and the American people may gradually become one and indi visible, but it remains to be shown whether that unity can be reconciled in practice with the principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence. The subjugation of the South, however, is as much feat accompli, as the Declaration of Independence itseli; and anew chapter has thereby been opened iu the history ot the United States. Henceforward other battles, siege and capitulations, will take the place of Bunker Hill, Saratoga and Yorktown. Corn wallis and Burgoyne will be dwarfed by Jackson and Lee, and it will not surprise us if Lincoln occupies a pedeslal of equal height with that of Washington. If, indeed, the im portance of occurrences be determined by their scale, the War ot Independence hardly admits of comparison with that which has just terminated. The forces collected on either side, the distance traversed, the lists of killed and wounded, and the ruin wrought of the former, are 03 nothing by the side of the records of the late civil war. The titles of outrage and havoc inflicted by the British troops, which have horrified three genera tions of Americans, are already being super seded by more recent and vivid memories, and the heroic age of America will soon be transferred from the eighteenth to the nine teenth century. For years to come novelists will lay their plots iu this revolutionary period, and ora tors will draw their most excitftig material from the same source. Nor can it be denied that the issues at stake were in proportion to the magnitude aud desperation of the con test. Whether or not there should be a balance of power on the North American continent, and whether slavery should be ac cepted by modern civilization, were ques tions mevitably involved in it, though thrust out of sight, by more obtrusive motives.— Upon these questions, and upon the further question whether the sudden abolition of slavery wa9 to be desired for the sake of the negroes themselves, opinions may still differ, but that the settlement of them will be the effect, if it was not tbe object, of the war, admit of no refiSlmable doubt. If the French Revolution, with all its manifold influences on society, was the indirect consequence of American independence, no one can say what changes may hereafter be traced back to the crisis now in course of development. The Defeat of tiie London Times in the British Elections.— There is more signifi cance iu the defeat of Mr. Walter, the prin cipal proprietor of the London Times, in tbe English election contest, titan at first sight appears. Until recently, this gentleman has not identified himself at all publicly with the valuable newspaper property he owns. But some two or three years ago he tosk to tile business of having his dull parliamentary performances reported at great length in his own journal. And the unfair character of some of these reports—or what was alleged to be their unfair character—led to a person al discussion iu the House ot Commons, re lative to Mr. Walter's connection with Print ing House Square. Little came, directly, of that discussion. But since then the defeated proprietor has affected a consequence aud standing which his natural talents indiffer ently sustain. His specialty has been public education, and all the heavy things he could say on that novel subject have been re-pro duced in the best columns of the Loudon Times. He has also made no secret of his desire to become a Peer of the Realm, so soon as his Parliamentary votes and the Min isterial organship performed by his journal should give him a feasible claim upon Lord Palmerston. The electois of Berks have spoiled, for the present, this laudable ambi tion. Mr. Walter's connection with the "leading journal,” instead of bringing hiih credit with the yeomaury of England, has, by his unfortunate avowal of it, brought him political discomfiture. And to-day his peer age must be a irMre distant prospect than it was before he took to trading in bis newspa per connection — N. Y. Times. J[n passing along the line of the Georgia Rgilroad, one cannot but be painfully struck with the appearance of large numbers of idlers congregated at every depot and wood station. They are of every class, sex and color; freeduiefl, however, forming larg er part. The arrival of each train is the sig nal for the assembling of these motley groups, seemingly awaiting anxiously the turning up of that “something’ which never came to poor Micawber, hut iu the persistent expectancy of which his whole life was ren dered a l'atluic. Just so will it be with thou sands of the iudoleuts in our country ; they have not summoned the energy necessary to shake off the lethargy, that a stagnated con dition of the country and business has thrown around them. Winter will soon come, aud to the improvident it will be a pinching one. There is something for every man to do, and especially iu the present desolated condition of our country would we enjoin it upon our people to he up and doing. Thpre is work tor every brawny arm where there is a will to wield it. —Atlanta Intelligencer. The iRRErRREssiHLE Conflict.—On yester day afternoon a fracas occurred between a party of the frith Massachusetts Vols., (col ored) and two of the local police, occasioned by tiie disorderly conduct of the former aud their open violation of orders in carrying and brandishing sticks. The police, in the dis charge of ttieir duty, remonstrated and in sisted upon the relinquishment of the sticks, when open violence wae threatened, by the colored soldiers, and only averted by the prompt aud fearless action of one ot the police, who fired upon the ringleader aud dispersed the crowd. Later in the evening complaint was lodged at the Police Station by a young lad who had been unprorokedly assaulted by a negro aud had received a severe cut iiMhe bead, from a brickbat thrown by the latter. Measures were promptly taken for bis arrest.— Char. Courier.
