Thursday Morning, Jan. ‘2B, tßfl.
Inter-State Negotiations.
It is not denied that any overtures
from tbe Confederate Government to (lie
Statu of the North would meet with vio
lent oppqsition by the Federal uulhori
tien at Washington on “Constitutional
principles.” No one, we presume, is
prepared to believe that the Govern
ment which denies the doctrine of State
Sovereignty, would admit the right of
the States composing its present domin
ions to treat with other States, (or their
Representative at Richmond,) which
have by force of arms asserted and
maintained the doctrine—that the State
authorities are supreme. The Federal
Government as administered by consoli
dalionists consider tbe act of secession
an unconstitutional one, and hence they
wage a war, ns they say, for the “pre
servation” of the Constitution. The
Confederates, on the other hand, are
waging a defensive war for the preserv
ation—not the establishment—of the
doctrine of State Sovereignty, and for
the principles, ns they understand them,
enunciated in the old Constitution.
Washington represents Federal supreme
acy; that is, consolidation: Richmond
represents—or was intend'd to represent
—State supremacy, that is Local Sover
eignty. It is quite natural, therefore,
that Washington should ignore Kicfi
mond and propose treaties with the
States South in accordance with Lincoln’s
amnesty proclamation. Then why should
wo object to our Representatives ignor
ing Washington, and proposing negotia
tions with the Stales North upon the
State Sovereignty platform ? This is hut
the natural tendency of the controversy.
Richmond and Washington are repre
sentatives of antagonistic principles ; tho
suocess of one necessarily destroys the
political Blalus, if not the very exist
ence, of the other. Negotiations cannot
pass between than, for tho reason that
neither oan consistently recognize the
other. Nothiag is more natural *llian
that the war should be closed—(should
the doctrine and practice of State Sov
ereignty and free Government survive
it) —by inlor-Stale negotiations. This
would bo an open acknowledgement. of
all wo'claim, to wit : the supremacy of
State authority. All admit that the war
must close some time, and if the States
cannot settle the controversy, then the
two Confederations must ; anti They will
be able to do this when ono yields to
tho power of tho other, but, in our opin
ion, not a moment sooner.
The Lost Steamer.— Passengers in
the Btcamor Vesta declare that her loss
was owing to carelessness and gross mis
management of her olliccrs. Her cargo
is said to have been a most, valuable one,
consisting of shoes, blankets aud other
quartermaster stores for the Confederate
Government. It is generally supposed
that had the Vcsla been laden with Yan
kee dry goods and French gewgaws, she
would have run the gauntlet with perfect
safety.
Various Items.

Tua London Times on the Was. "
The London Times reminds those who
anticipate an early break down of the
Confederate cause, that conquest in the
field must be succeeded by military occu
pation. President Lincoln proposes on
Republican principles to rest the Gov
ernment of each seceded State in one
tenth of the population, »ho will swear
allegiance to him and obedience to bis
acts of Cdhgress and his proclamation
These men will be no more able to uiain
tam themselves than were the tyrants of
Athens without the aid of the Lacede
monian garrison. The Times adds that
“though we conceive it to be quite pes-
| tat ’ ® Terto rne by constantly res
cruited nnmbsrsand immense resources,
the South may become unable to retain
large armies in the field, yet between
that and subjugation, there is an tntervJl
"“ lch we do not expoct to see filled up.”

The Nkoro to bi Crushed.— A cor
respondent of tho New York Times. Writ
ipg from Norfolk under the’Signature of
“Wiu. Turbis,” says :
However, whatever may be the fate of
tins war, one thing i»certain- it is writ
ten as by the finger of inspiration—the
negro will be crushed beneath its iron
tread. Subjugation, if that were pod- i
sible, will necessitate the quartering j
upon Southern soil two hundred thous- |
and bayonets to guard and protect him ;
and this for generations to come. The
feeling of hatred, intensified and in
humed by Nortbern dominion, by injus
tice and violence, by perfidy aud fraud,
will burn with increased fury and like
tbe Indian, whose imperial rule over
this beautiful land no white man once
questioned, but who paled and waned
beneath the advancing tide of civiliza
tion, lie will be hunted and preyed upon
by the instinct of antagonistic forces,
until his name and very existence will
have disappeared forever.
Union, then, upon the basis of eman
cipation and the proclamation being utter
ly impossible, the war will go on ; slaugh
ter, blood and carnage will follow in its
train ; hundreds of thousands will perish
and be wiped out of existence forever—
billions of treasure expended—aud for
what? To gratify the most fieudish feel
ings—the most senseless purpose—that
ever controlled the bosoms of men. The
issue then is fairly made- subjugation
or independence. Mr. Lincoln hits made
it by this, his ultimatum, and doubtless
the South accepts it iu its spirit und its
purpose. if I were interrogated to
know, can the South he subjugated? I
should answor, if there be any truth in
history, never! never! 1 know Southern
character well—l know iter ability, her
means, her purposes, her aim, her re
sources, for defensive war.
When the Bpring opens, her soil will
be trod by the finest soldiery the world
ever saw She will, by that time, have
equipped and put in the field more than
six hundred thousand men, whose hearts
beat in unison to tho popular will, and
who, as tho issue-is now made, will court
death anil danger on every bloody field.
Her circulating medium will, by legisla
live fiat, be reduced to tho pecuniary
wants of the war programme. Stripped
of Its redundancy and its plethora, it
will give vitality and vigor to every de
partment of the Government, and restore
the confidence of the people in the ulti
mate success of their cause.
Genus against Life. —We have, from
Montrose, Scotland, another painful ex
ample of what the old Dutchman, called
“to schwcrt itih too sohary for the chap
purl.” Alexander Miller of that town,
well known by the name of “Tho Calcu
lating Roy,” recently died at the per
wuturo age of sixteen years. The Mon
trose Standard thus giveii an account of
this precocious child of genius :
His wonderful powors of mental calcu
lation gained for him the latter name
while he was quite a child, and when,
under ordinary circumstance, he would
not have been expected to huvo got. fur
ther on with his arithmetic education
than tho simple elements. Hut at that
time he could, with tho utmost ease, and
with wonderful rapidity and correctness,
solve very abstruse aud ditlicult ques
tions of calculations, seldom, if over,
making a mistake, and doing it solely
by mental effort. For u marble or other
small remuneration, he would then, in a
few seconds, tell a person how many
souonds he had lived, only requiring the
date of the year and month, und never
failing to make due allowances for leap
‘year. It is ntffitlljss .to say that his
powers were often tested. At ssltppl he
out distanced his fellows, ns might be
expected, iu arithmetic; but he q)so
kept up well in other dcparlmeats of
education, lie latterly became a great
collector of old postage stamps, and so
retentive was his memory and quick his
perception that had ho been asked at
what post olficc a stamp had been oblit
erated, he at once correctly answered
after looking at the number on the ob
literated mark. Within the past month
bis bodily health has declined, but to
tho last his mental powers retained their
full slrength. He was a unlive of Auch
mithic, his father, wo believe, being
a fisherman.
Why Jbwkssks auk Beautiful.—
Chateaubriand gives a fanciful but
agreeable reason for the fact that Jew
ish women nro so natch handsomer than
the men of their nation. He says Jew
esses have escaped tho curse which
alighted upou (heir fathers,
and sons. Not a Jewess was to be seen
among the of priests and rabble
who insulted tlp> Son of God, scourged
him, crowned him with thorus, and sub
ject him to infamy and the ngony of the
cross. The women of Judea believed in
the Savior, aud assisted in soothing him
under affliction. A woman of Bethany
poured on his head precious ointment,
which she kept in a vessel of alabaster.
The siuner anointed his feel with per
fumed oil, and wiped them with her
hair. Christ, on his part, extended
mercy to tho Jewess. Ho raised from
tho dead tho son of (lie widow of Nain,
and Martha’s brother Lazarus. He
cured Simon’s mother in-law, aud the
woman who touched the hem of his
garment. To tho Samaritan woman he
was a Spring of living waters, and a com.
passionate judge of the woman iu adul
tery. The daughters of Jerusalem wept
over him ; tho holy womeu accompanied
him to Calvary ; brought him balm and
spices, and weeping sought hitu in the
sepulchre. “Woman, why weepest thou?”
His first appearance after tho resurrec
tion was to Mary Magdalen. He said
to her, “Mary.” At the sound of his
voice, Mary Magdalen’s eyes were open
ed, and she answered, “Master.” The
reflection of some beautiful ray must
have rested on the brow of the Jewess.
I'bkttv Good.— ln the House of Rep
resentatives, recently, Mr. Moore, of
Kentucky; offered a resolution inviting
Maj. Gen. Breckinridge to a seat on llie
lloor.
A member moved to odd the name of
Lieut. Gen. Ilardec.
Others from the several States moved
to include the names of Brig. Generals
Henning, Hoke, Quarles, S. E. Jones,
Gregg, and others, when Mr. Hilton, of
Florida, stated that there were many
j’rivates in Richmond just ns distinguish
ed as somo of the brigadiers, and there
fore he moved to include them in the
resolution.
Mr. Moore then asked leave to with
draw his resolution.

Mr. Howard’s fine basso was, as it always

music of Madame Ilailini. It seemed to

DR LEMOINE,
A Craftsmaster, from the Grand Orient,
of France, calls respectfully upon the
craftsmen here and everywhere, to Jielp
him to pay tbe printing office for the
publication of Dr. Lemoine’s Masonic
Lecture on the History of Freemasonry.
The intention is to print ten thousand
copies for the instruction of Masons and
no Masons.
it is not a disgrace nor a shame, lo
work for an honest livelihood. . it is
better to get the bread of life by work
ing, than cheating. I will teach how to
speak French, with true French ac
cent. To learn French with a teacher
who is not a native of France, aud be
sides that, a literati, is llic.same*s to
learn English with a Spanish cow Ei
ther a doctor or a teacher, makes no dif
ference ; for, I am Dr. Lemoine all (lie
time.
Kcnicnibcr Death.
VTUMEBOUS fanciful theories have
l\ been devised by Y'onkee quacks to
cheat the people in the South. Before
the war, every little bit of Yankee bugre
had the idea that a Southern man was a
fool. The Confederacy will give to Cicsar
what belongs to Ctcsar. My prescriptions
are from the Medical College of Paris,
lo act in harmony with the great laws of |
nature, and expel diseases without doing j
violence or injury to the system. Cer
tainly there is no remedy in'the apothe
cary’s store against the disease of death;
but still, life without health is worse than
death. Let every man be married, the
health of mankind will improve AH
Ihe heads of family or church iu anti
quity were married men. Tho Apostles
of Christ were married men. Lei every
man be married, aud bo faithful lo his
wife—health and life will lie preserved.
God made !*ho Woman purposely
to be the wife of man. The marriage
life pleases God, because it is the law of
God. The single life is a vicious life,
which brings forth diseases arid death.
Venereal diseases are generally caught
by unmarried persons. I know what I
say by a long experience in medical life.
Without health aud strength we cannot
enjoy any of the pleasures of life; but
without temperance in enjoying, health
and strength fades very quickly. Love
gives life, but intemperance in love gives
death.

Doctor R. V. Lemoine, a Master Masou.
Be with him ns light as possible at the
J*erry House. Any kindness to our bro
■Ler, Dr. Lemoine, appreciated

W The last survivor of that heroic bat
talion, who gained the first victory at
Manassas, sold me a Confederate flag
which was used at that battle. I bought
it with the sole intention to keep the glo
rious and invincible Hag for eternal me
mory, and to have iuy dead body enve
loped in this flag, to my grave'; but ne
cessity has no law. I want money, to
have my Masonic Lecture printed ; there
fore I offer for sale to some good South
ern patriot, a Confederate Flag of the
Tigers Battalion, at the Victory of Ma
nassas.
The Age of Reason, By Titos. Payne.
I have a printed copy for sale.
Subscribers to the publication of Dr.
Lemoine’s Masonic Lecture : Oglethorpe
Lodge, No. 47, $175.
Iu the event I may be able to get here
the fund necessary, I will publish at the
Sun printing office, ten thousand copies
of my Masonic Eecture.
The Masonic Love Will Sever Die.
The man that makes the most noise,
secures the attention of the world. A
silent elephant may remain unobserved
amid the foliage of the woods, but the
croaking frog is sure to attract attention
in the darkest night.
The Pyramids of Egypt, the Hercules
Pillars, the Walls of Babylon, the Ruius
of Palmyra, I have seen with -my own
eyes.
During my travels in Palestine, from
Cairo to central Egypt, thence to port of
Jaffa, I stopped at the city of Jerusalem
five weeks. I have been on the spot of
the Temple of Solomon, Joseph’s House,
Herod’s Palace, Pilate’s House, Zion’s
Gate, House of David, and David’s Tomb.
I saw the place where Judas betrayed
Christ; where Peter denied his Master;
where the Unbeliever, Thomas, formally
refused to believe in the Resurrection of
Christ. I heard of the impiety and in
graJitude of Israel to God; the hidden
mystery of the Conversion of St. Paul.
Now 1 have lived a long life—l have read
five -housand seven hundred and thirty,
live scientific and historical books, in
seven different languages; I have trod
with my feet, the land in both worlds, I
that millions of men have scarcely seen
in the geograghical maps. I don’t know
when the sun and moon stood still,
when the waters of the Jordan were di
vided—when God sent his message from
Sinai; in what manner Moses received
the two tables from the hands of God.
The Bible speaks about David’s adul
tery ; Judah’s incest; unlawful marria
.goe, aud the horrible crimes of the
daughters of Lot; the Bible speaks of
vices and drunkenness. But my friends,
the world, the states, families and indi
viduals are not governed by histories.
Everybody bas his own head, aud is i
governed by his own mind. Apply, if
you please, this kind of reasoning and
natural logic to your own judgment; you
will see clearly that the laws of human
nature can be perverted by excesses of
passions, turned from the right way and
perfectly destroyed, independent of all
the ancient and modern histories or mo
ralizing sermons in the church or else
where.
Truth often causes hatred; bnt truth
is afraid of nothing. Truth, by whom-
soever It is uttered, comes from God.— j
Veritas vincet.
Those who may agree with mv ideas, 1
will applaud me; others ot a different i
mind, will blackguard' me: ih.u i- lie i
strong arm of the opjiosbion 1 makes]
no differer/ce.
