AUGUHTA, C»A..t TUESDAY MORNING Juno IJ, 1866 ji*BKAR IT IN MIND THAT THE DyuLY PRESS ADVERTISES MORE CHEAPLY THAN ANY DAILY IN THE CITY MERCHANTS WHO DESIRE TO REACH FAMILIES WILL FIND IT A MOST VALUABLE MEDIUM. The Polioy of Congress and the Policy of Concession. We cannot resist the indulgence of a special wonder as we reflect upon the policy of the Radical party towards the South. In our judgment, it is always the part of wisdom and prudence to make friends of your neighbors, and the height of folly to allow them to remain enemies. But the Radicals take a dif ferent view of affairs. They prefer to have the Southern States restless, sullen, dissatisfled enemies, than to bring them back into the Union, aud bind them there with the chain of love and mag nanimous concession. Why this should be so we cannot imagine ; blit that it does exist and “overcomes us like a midsum mer’s dream.” is unfortunately most true. They do assert that their policy is to make tfeason odious and to punish those who had engaged in a wicked and cause less rebellion against “the best Govern ment upon the earth.” Now, if a hand ful of men, without cause and without purpose, had got up a war against the Government they would have deserved punishment. But the war was not made by the South ; it was on her part only a war of defence, against a war of ag gression made upon her by the North, because she had asserted and exercised a right upon which the very Union itself is based —the right of revolution. The sovereignty of the States was admitted by a majority of the people of the Union, and it was even contended by Mr. GreelyJ of the New York Tribune, Mr. Lincoln, the President, and other high Republican authorities, that a people had the right to revolt against a Government which they believed to be oppressive. Mr. Greely asserted that, it a number of States sufficient to make the movement respectable, should secede, he was for permitting them to go out of the Union peaceably; while Mr. Lincoln went even further than this. He declared that a majority of a people in revolt had a riglft to compel acquiescence in their move ment on the part of the minority! Later in the history of the country, and when the fires of secession were lighting up throughout the South, Mr.Seward, then, as now, Secretary of State, wrote to Minister Adams, in England, that the President (Mr. Lincoln), would use no force to compel the Southern ' States to remain in the Union, as the effort to coerce them to do so would be inconsis tent with the principles of Republican ism upon which our Government was founded. Such were the doctrines enunciated by the leaders of the party which is now engaged in depriving the South of her just rights under the Constitution, and in efforts to. make the very doctrines, which they so earnestly and urgently advocated, odious. This, however, does not surprise us ; for we well know that that same New England which gave birth to this Radicalism, introduced Slavery into our midst, relinquishing it only when it ceased to be profitable to them, and is now engaged, through its Yankee school teachers, in inflaming the minds of the negroes against the white people of the South. Their consistency consists only in their inconsistency ; and we need not be surprised that Radical ism yesterday preached the right of revolution, and to-day pronounces the exercise of that right treason ; that yes terday it declared that it was only fight ing to restore the Union, and to-day re fuses to permit that Union to be restored; that yesterday it blazoned upon its ban ners, at its shibboleth, “the Constitution is a league and a covenant with hell and to-day declares that “it must and shall be preserved and, that, with the exclamation, they trample it under their feet, and scatter its tattered pages to the four winds of heaven. We say that we ought not to be sur prised at anything that this party does ; and yet, as we have already said, we cannot help wondering at their present attitude. They could not do without the South. If they could, they never would have sacrificed millions of men and money to retain it; and now having coerced it hack under their power, why do they not act with the magnanimity becoming an enlightened people, for give the past, and restore the Union, as far as possible, to its former greatness aud power ; They will prate about the oppression and injustice of England to wards Ireland, of the cruelty of Spain in permitting the bombardment of a de fenceless seaport, and, in the same breaths, deprive cx-llebels of the right of citizenship, and demand the life of the Confederate ex-Preaident. There is no oppressor so oppressive as the Radicals would be, if President John son were not there to stay the hand of tyranny, and to shield the South from being crushed to the earth. But sup pose that they had pursued a different policy—one of magnanimity, one of concession and brotherly kindness to wards the South, how different would be the result to-day. Instead of a sul len, dissatisfied people, they would have under the “broad stripes and bright stars” of the national banner, a “Union of hearts and a Union of hands,” which would secure the “American Union forever.” Some of our readers may recall to mind some of the lessons of history on this very subject of concession and cot> filiation. One that is now before us is in the siege of Calais, in the year 1347. When, after a year's siege, famine compelled the unhappy inhabi tants to surrender, and Edward, in view of the trouble and sacrifice which the siege had cost him, demanded that six of their best citizens should suffer death, a little band of patriots, of the number required, stepped forward, headed by Eustace de St. Pierre, a man of humble birth, but of exalted virtue, and offered themselves as the victims of royal ven geance. Queen Phillippa arriving at the critical moment, Sir Walter Manney, whose magnanimous soul could not brook the idea of seeing such noble men die for the unparalelled patriotism which they had exhibited, flew to the Queen and laid the case before her. Her Majesty, at once, by tears aud ar guments, persuaded the King to spare the lives of the gallant Frenchmen, and she had them summoned before her. When they came to her, says the his torian, “the Queen, with an aspect and an accent of mildness, thus addressed them: “Natives of France and inhabitants of Calais, you have put us to vast expense of blood and treasure, but you have, no doubt, acted up to the best of your judgment. We loose your chains, we snatch you from the scaffold, and we thank you for the lesson of humiliation you teach us. “You have shown us that excellence does not consist in birth or station. that virtue gives a dignity superior to that of Kings; and that those whom the Almighty endows with sentiments like yours are justly and eminently raised above all human distinctions. We give you freedom, and we offer to your choice the gifts and honors that Edward has to bestow.” “Ah, my country,” exclaimed St. Pierre, “it is now that I tremble for you. Edward could only win your cities, but Phillippa conquers hearts /” “Brave St. Pierre,” said the Queen, “wherefore look you so dejected ?” “Ah, madam,” said he, “when I meet with another such opportunity of dying I shall not regret that I survived this day 1” Such was the policy of royalty—the conquest of a people by concession and kindness; and if the so-called Repub lican Cougress had as much of the magnanimity and true Republican sen timent, as history teaches, as has been and is practiced by the monarchs of the earth, the people of the South could exclaim to-day, in the spirit of the gallant St. Pierre, “Your armies Could only capture cities, but your Congress conquers hearts 1” ‘ And agaiu, we might say to them ; as Pitt said to the British Government: “Mercy cannot do harm ; it will seat the King where he ought to be, throned on the hearts of his people.” Let them try this policy then—concession to the people of the South—mercy to the noble Davis who stands charged with a crime of which he is not guilty. So will they conquer the hearts of the South, win back the love ot its people for the once “glorious Union” and make it, indeed, what Dr. Warren prayed it might be, “the land of liberty, the «eat of virtue, the asylum of the oppressed, ‘a name and a praise in the whole earth’, until the last shock of time shall bury the empires of the world in undistinguished ruin.” A New Mineral.— Professor Wohler, of Gottingen, has discovered anew min mineral in some platinum ore ot Bor neo. It forms black, semi-metallic, very brilliant grains, similar to chrystalized iron. The specific gravity varies from six to nine. It .consists of a compound of sulphide of Osmium and sulphide of Ruthenium. This is the first time that the platinum metals have been found in combination with sulphur, and will at once be seized upon by the advocates of the theory that the sulphur iu the aurif erous pyrites of Colorado is in chemical combination with the gold, as gold is classed by them in the platinum group. Wohler proposes the name Laurite for the new mineral, an account of which ho will soon publish in the German jour nals. THE LATEST HEWS. LATER FROM EUROPE. New York, Tune 10.—The steamers At lemsntlue, Matt* Denmark and Edinbwrg have arrived with European dates to the 30th nit. In the British Parliament the Govern ment was beaten on Bonverie’s motion for the prevention of bribery and corruption at elections. The Government measure wus lost by ten votes. The Consolidated Bank of London bnd stopped payment. The Powers have all accopted the invita tion to join in the Conference which was to moot at an early day. The belligerents are still preparing for war, nevertheless. The Italian volunteers are mobilising rapidly. The Austrian nnny now comprises 600,000 men, with an im mense park of artillery and siege guns ready for service. The Prussians are concentra t ng at Glatzlandshat. Prussia and Italy bare agreed to postpone hostilities until they can kuow whether the conference fails. The Austrian second conscription at Vienna caused great discontent. The army oommenced marching towards Venetia on tbe 24th May. Italy engages not to attack during the sitting of the conference, but is busily -en gaged in rebuilding her forts to resist new and improved artillery. The Paris Payet says compensation to Austria for the loss of Venetia may be found in territory on tbe Adriatic coast, Prussia to return the Elbe Duchies, Northern Schleswig to be restored to Denmark, and the Rhine provinces to form the States at tached to tho Germanic Confederation. Turkey will not occupy the Dauubian Principalities as was threatened, consequent upon the Prussian and French declaration against such intervention. LATER ADVANCE IN COTTON. Farther Point, June 10.—The steamer Hibernia has arrived, with European dates to tbe Ist inst. There has been no change in continental affairs. The time of the meeting of the Conference had not yet been designated. La Ruete says Napoleon will preside. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Liverpool, June I.—The sales of Cot ton for the woek amount to 86,000 bales, with a buoyant market, and an advance of Id. to lid. for and Id. to Id. for other descriptions. The sales to specula tors for the week was 12,500 bales. Sales to exporters, 9,500. The quotations are : Fair Orleans 16Jd Fair Mobile -....15 Jd Fair Uplands ~...15jd Middling Orleans ]sd Middling Mobile lljd Middling Uplands 13Id The sales on the day of the sailing of the Hibernia were 70,000 bales, tho market closing firm and unchanged. The sales to speculators and importers were 2,000 bales. Stock of cotton in port 975,000 bales, of which 400,000 bales were American. Breadstuff's were steady. Provisions dull. The bullion in the Bank of England had increased £21,000. Consols 871. United States five-twenties 66|a66J. BAIL ASKED FOR MR. DAVIS. Washington, June 10.—Horace Greeley and others from New York are in town, their business being to seo Judgo Under wood, in order to urge upon him the justice aud propriety of admitting Jefferson Davis to bail. Some Congressmen speak confi dently that Mr. Davis will be bailed, while others are equally confident iu the opposite opinion. THE RINDERPEST IN NEW YORK. New York, June 10.—Hon. J. Staunton Gold, President, and Col. P. R. Johnson Secretary, of the New York State Agricul tural Society, have prepared an important circular, in which they say : “We do here by make known the existence of the Rin derpest or pleuro pneumonia among the cows in the stables of New York aud Brook lyn.” LATEST FROM THE FENIANS. New York, June 11.—Special dispatches from St. Albans have been received here announcing the finale of the Fenian inva sion. The right wing of the army had re treated to that place from Pigeon Hill, and the men were preparing to go home. The wholo force is completely demoralized, the officers and men refusing to do duty, and deserting by wholesale. After a council of war General Spear reluctantly ordered his forces to abandon the soil of Canada. No arms or reinforcements had reached them. Gen. Spear declared he would rather bo shot than leave in such a way. The Uuitod States Government is fur nishing transportation to the Fenians, who gladly accepted the opportunity to get home. Gen. Meade made a speech to the the United States soldiers, and said the set tlement of this trouble would prove satis factory to our own and other Governments, as tending to Show that the United States Government, notwithstanding the past, would do to others as they would be done by. Gen. Spear and staff had surrendered at Ogdensburg. An Ogdensburg special dispatch states that an American schooner was hailed by a British armed vossel under threats to fire into her. Tho American Captain hoisted his colors and suggested the danger of firing on an unarmed vessel with that flag. The vessel was allowed to proceed. —Why are most ladies, who go to dry goods stores at this season of the year, like gentlemen who seem to be dejected?
