The following article, clipped from the New York Iribune, is indicative of the untir ing determination of Northern capitalists to appropriate the commerce of the whole country, to the sustaining of the present ascendency of their section. Now that slavery is abolished, the manifest interest of the Southern States is to encourage direct trade with Europe, and, if let alone, our cities will soon be in active competition for the commerce and carrying trade of our more fortunate rivals farther aortt.; Could any thing be more disinterested than the extract we give below ? General Rosecrans lias written a letter in favor of a Southern' trans-continental rail road, to add another to the many railway spokes now running from West to East across the United States and having Aheir hub in England. What the Sonth needs is not bet ter communication with Eagland. Every one of its rivers, except the Tennessee and Cum berland, runs toward England, and tends to carry its commerce abroad. The greater the relative trade of the South with England compared with its trade with the Northern States, the weaker is the Union. The greater its commerce with the Northern States, the stronger the Union and the less the need of bayonets to hold it together. If national aid is to lie' called for to build Southern railroads, lei them ran from North to South, so as to increase the transportation of Southern cotton, tobacco and molasses into the Northern States for manufacture and consumption, increase the transportation of men, machinery, capital stock, goods and tools from the North into the South, and thus weld" the two sections in all their interests more firmly together, and render the Union not a union of States with diverse or conflicting interests, but a union of populations and industries whose interests are identical. In Prussia, forty years ago, similar steps were taken to unite iu interest all sections of the German Confederation l»y so perfecting the means of railroad communication be tween all parts of German}’ os to facilitate their internal and domestic commerce, at the same time that by the Zollverein all the States of the Confederation were surrounded by a cordon of protective tariffs which amply sus- sained their home manufactures and agricul ture from injurious under-bidding by France and England. The result is seen in the growth of wealth, the spread of popular edu cation, the growing comfort and individual freedom of the North German people, and in the advance of Prussia to the position of a first-rate European power. Had Germany converged her railroads toward London-in- stead of toward Berlin, and given France and England the free trade they coveted, her rail roads, might have carried more produce fbr the first five years, or might not, but Germany would have continued the same weak, dis tracted conglomeration of sectional and dis cordant principalities it was then. The fu ture center of American industry lies between Pittsburg, Chicago, St.. Louis -and Memphis. Let the means of communication between all payts of the South and these points be perfected, and let that section forget, as soon as possible, that it ever relied on a foreign market for the sale of its raw products.

Desperate Encounter Bbtweem a 'Weasel and a Shake.—The following singular occur rence, says the Bridgeport (Conn.) Standard, is narrated by an eye-witness as having trans pired some time last sqnaiger on t^e farm of Mr. Wm. H. Bibbius, in Fairfield. The nar rator was spreading bay in a field, when his attention was attracted to a clnmp of tall grass at some, little distance, from which a weasel was constantly springing np into thei air. Approaching cautiously nearer, he dis covered the cause of this singular conduct. On a little mound of hay a laTge copperhead snake, at least three feet long, was coiled up, and.with head erect, darting tongue, and ex posed fangs, was watching the weasel, who was making a series' of springs at the reptile, evidently with the intention of seizing it by the throat. The snake dodged and the wea sel continued his attack till at length by a sudden spring he caught the snake by the throat, and a furious struggle ensued. The weasel held on, and the snake wound himself around the body of the animal, almost en tirely covering it, and seemed about fo' crtish it to death, when bis weaselship let go his hold on the snake’s throat, and “popped," iu true weasel style, out of the convoluted em brace of his enemy, springing at least two feet into the air. The spake then crawled under the mound of hay, and in a tew moments the weasel re-appeared and crawled after him, and from the tossing of the hay a desperate fight seemed to be going on be neath it. It ceased in a short time, and the weasel came out dragging the snake after him, dead, with his throat bitten open. The weasel dragged the spake into a neighboring fence, and they both disappeared.

If “Has accom plished all its mercifjuLwork for whiffr created, and has now aegeneratedlnto a po litical curse—the most powerful engine of political trickery that has been known ih the world since God made Adam.” Now, if Hunnicutt denounces the Freed men’s Bureau, that, by its agents and teach ers, permeates the South, as “a political curse —the most powerful engine of political trickery that has been known in the world since God made Adam"—why should credit be attached to the statements of such parties and their confreres concerning alleged outrages and crimes of the Southern people against Unionists and ne groes ? Why should not the white people in the Sonth refuse to associate with the person- net of so great a “political curse?" Federal officers report a perfect condition of peace and repose in Virginia, which is kept out ofthe Union, while in States afar'ofi; that have been admitted into the Union,, wholesale murders are alleged to have taken place by presses here, like the Chronicle., while no particulars are given, simply from the foot that none are known, and no such crimes have taken place/ : ’*3 - ■ *“ w® Under the Constitution there is no authority for the intervention of Federal troops in State affairs, except upon the call of the Executive of the State, and the present clamor for more troops to continue military rule in these States is undoubtedly founded on military ambition to control the people by the - sword, or that for the presence of troops and armies to benefit markets and business, or for the purpose of dragooning the people, negroes in- ciaded/.ihto an iron rut in politics, i .. - , The ukase of General Howard; militant and ■ fighting Christian within the pale of the Church, recites as a necessity to Freedmen’s Bureatr purposes in each of the Southern States, of “assistant commissioner nnd chief superintendent of schools; one disbuising officer for educational department and pay ment of claims; two agents for payment of bounties;' two assistant superintendents of schools, and clerks.” The above are to be .superior officials to a great number of schools, which in themselves call, for an army of teachers. Concerning education, .the .New York Express well re marks that the “Freedmen’s Bureau has been a political machine Horn the start The Southern States are mainly in the hands of the Radicals. Negroes are entitled to no more money than negroes at the-North. Their labor is needed npon ten thousand cot ton, sugar and rice plantations, and upon ten hundred thousands of acres devoted to corn and wheat. The United States Govern ment is doubly prostituted when it legislates parfiaily,' or legislates at all. for a class.— States ean and: must, in time, provide for all internal government—for police, for schools, for suffrage, for all, indeed, for which the Federal Constitution does not provide. This Freedmen’s Bureau is an asylum for two classes of miserable citizens—those icho make public office a private hospital, and those who make it a receiving net for public 'plunder, it has done no real good—certainly, none at all which has not been overbalanced by liarm. It is expensive, against the genius of self governing States, unconstitutional, and, Os a precedent, every way dangerous. ” Upon this general subject, the Alexandria Gazette speaks as follows: “Oat of their own mouths they are con demned- ' The Washington Chronicle prints a letter furnished by Mr. Forney, from a cor respondent of his, who, he says, is an ad vanced Radical, and 'believes in his politics as he does in his religion.’ This . correspon dent has resided in the South for nearly three years, and 'has never concealed his senti ments,’ and yet he affirms that 'he has never been disturbed nor even menaced for utter ing them in trains, steamboats, hotels and streets, ’ He insists that the Southern people should not he condemned for the outrages of ruffians, and declares that by this rale no community could escape—certainly not the West, judged by the - recent excitements in Kansas.

As Mr. Doxey was firing the third and last- shot, the dying man exclaimed, “Don't shoot again; yon have killed.me already, and I am nnarme'd.” The remains of the deceased were subsequently taken chargC-Of by his friends.

Doxey also stood well in the community in which he lived. No - animosity had pre viously oxisted between the parties as far as we could learn. Tlie Tcntire-of-OlHce Daw. The most interesting subject of discussion with the Radicals at present is the propriety of repenting the Tenure-of-office law. The ultras of the party are already manifesting a bitter opposition to the repeal. - They are un willing to trust the new President, and many Of them expect a rupture with him at no dis tant day. If the quarrel does come, having lost the two-thirds majority in the House, they would not be able to re-enact 6uch a law, and they are consequently utterly indis posed to relax or relinquish the control whieh Congress now holds over the offices—at least, not until they are better informed and satis fied as to General Grant’s disposition and in tentions. More moderate men, however, see that a refusal to repeal the obnoxions act would not only continue to prevent efficiency in the administrative departments of the Government but would almost inevitably, by implying distrust, provoke the very rupture with the President which they desire to avoid. There are, it is said, not far irom fifty thou sand offices to be disposed of, and evevy Re publican member has hundreds of friends urgently demanding appointments. But with What face can these gentlemen call upon the President far favors of this kind, while hold ing over him the offensive restraints imposed upon his predecessor? Even Radical “cheek”. is scarcely equal to that; and it is apparent that the taw must be repealed, or many pa triotic Radicals will be likely to lose the hoped for chance of serving the country in ; official places. The discussions of this.mat- ter in the party cancuses when Congress meets are certain to be earnest, and will,, most probably, be bitter to a degree, quite in compatible: with the brotherly love which should prevail in the “loyal” oamp. Hav ing no. direct interest in the matter, the De mocracy will be able to observe the progress of the contest with a serene indifference ap proaching the complacency of. the affection ate wife while watching tlio fight between her husband and the bear. Of one thing there can be no doubt, aud that is, that if Gen. Grant dues not intend to be' the mere tool and registrar for the edicts of his Radical friends, he will find no better opportunity to strike for independence than that now in his hands, while the fifty thousand offices can be used as a lever to move Congress iu favor of the repeal of the law in question.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

The' strangest thing about these Ku-Kluf was that they did not hesitate to unmask themselves when asked to. do so; and out of toe whole party none were identi fied. Every one who saw' them says their horses were more beantifiil than, and far su perior to, any in the country round abont. They spoke, but little,.but always to toe pur pose.

It was per- formed in Palermo^ at tho Hospital della Concezioue, by Dr. Albauese. A young man had a leg amputated for a bad humor, while in a very low state; bnt toe operation re duced bun to a worse, state than ever,; and it became apparent that he was fast sinking, toe pulse being imperceptible and the body cold. . In this emergency the. transfusion of blood was proposed. Two assistants of. toe hospi tal offered to have thev veins opened for this purpose, and tons, at two different intervals, two hundred and twenty gmu. qf blood were introduced into the parent’s system. After the first time‘he recovered the • faculty of ich,.and stated that before he could nei- lersee nor hear, bnt; now felt aa if .he ..were flying in. the air. At latest dates he was re ported in a fair way to. recover. This is one of the few sneoessful cases ofthe kind on record.

Hot .Springs, just outside MTTtah city, and hav ing heard muoh of their medicinal properties, was about, ,ta bathe in one of them. After .he had disrobed, and just as he was abont ,to plunge in, a stranger approached, and told him that he could not bathe'in that spring. The Western.,Gentile’s ire became at once .aroused, and .thinking that it was another in- ’ stance qf Mormon despotism, ho immedi ately replied: “The h—11 can’t; Td like to see old Brigham or anybody stop me,” and in he plunged, but he got out sooner than he got in, for it was a boiling sjpring. His anger against too Mormons^ had not permitted him to ask the stranger why he cfaild not bathe there, but he was determined to show Brig ham that he-could not stop him from bathing.
