The following extracts from a recent article in the Providence (K. I.) lb-ess, entitled “Mutual Confidence Neceswry to Permanent Union,” are peculiarly gratifying, aa coming from so Radical a course. It is rather by such conciliatory language that harmony is to be restored and the Uuion reconstrudßd, than by violent harangues and incendiary threats. Let ns hope that it will become more general among our Radical brethreu. The /Vws says: All that seems to be necessary for a complete nnd satisfactory re union is a more general understanding of the views which govern the actions of men. Asa nation we are sectional, because we do not know each other. We are too jeal ous ot political power. We are too ready to attribute false motives of ac tion to each other. Among our own political trends, we are always ready to give credit for honesty of intention j of the sincerity of our political opponents, and especially of those occupying a different section of the country, we are generally skeptical. We demand a confidence in ourselves which we are uuwilling to accord to others. Political bigotry is the bane of dcmo cratical institutions. It is confined to no particular section, but is as wide as the continent itself. Although no visible in quisition is established, every party has its proscription, which is as crushing and hateful as any inquisition that has disgraced the history of Christendom The great and imperative necessity of the nation at the present time is confi dence in individual honesty nnd political sincerity. The North and the South must leant to respect each other. We must begin to understand that ouf in terests are not diverse but mutually dependent. That the promotion ol union and harmony will prove of com mon benefit to the nation. Rivalry in the different departments of industry, only serves to develop the material re sources of the country. Our wealth springs from the sinewy arm of 1 floor. Ihe power of the govern ment is but the reflected power of the nation. In it it should take an honest pride. Our political controversies should not be for the attainment of personal umbition, but for the welfare of the country. Parties must ignore men and strive for measures. The whole people should be animated by the desire to promote the interests of their commtfn country. Any other motive than this is a reproach to democratica! institutions and a dishonor to their citizens. Mutual confidence is an absolute necessity for a successful republic. It is the very key to its permanence and dignity. If this •nation can only realize that it is. a family, united by kindred ties, enjoying a common patrimony and an equal heri tage of freedom, it will soon reach the position, which has’ been the fondest hope of all true patriots. Out of this Congressional excursion, therefore, we expect the most satisfac tory results. Not that the few words which the delegation spoke, will be of great importance, but that they may lead the people of the South to think more earnestly of their condition, and to conclude that the North has no motive to oppress them, but every reason to conciliate and forgive. United by so many bonds, with interests never con flicting, situated in our relations with each other as if placed by a Divine hand, we cannot live apart. Nature demands Union that her resources may lie developed. Commerce requires it, that she may pour into our lap her golden offerings Mechanic art flourishes by its kindly nurture, and will not be satisfied without it. Civilization itself demands it, that the world may have a model and i guide. With mutual-for-- liearance and confidence, union ij cer tain. Our faith iu each other will make us whole. Ujiited States National Demo cratic Convention, Louisville, Ken tucky, Tuesday, May 2, 1807. —There will be a United States National Demo cratic Convention held in the city of Louisville, Kentucky, organizing at 12 o'clock, noou, of Tuesday, May 2, 1867, on which occasion the Democrats of the United States are invited to meet for the purpose of consultation and a reorgani zation of the parly, and for the defend ing of the Constitutional liberties ot the States and the People. Every Congressional District in the United States, from Maine to Calilorniu, will be eutitled to two representatives in the Convention, and there will also be one from eßch State and Territory at large to be elected by the district dele gates, and it is suggested that notice be given by the Democrats of each district, and the aforementioned delegates be elected as soon us possible. The object of the above National Democratic Convention is to reorganize for victory on the basis of the principles of our bathers —equality of States—no taxation, without representation—equul taxation law, order and domestic trait quility. Let the memories and examples ol the pas. —the darkness ol the luturc, and the hopes ol posterity be our guide and our strength lit this grert effort in defense of the Sight, thu principles ol Liberty, and the success of that sell government which derives its strength and support trom tbe consent ol the governed. TII E PEOPLE. United Slates, January 10, 1867. “ Everybody interested will please btar in mind that the List of Letters is published in the Daily Press, as the Paper having the largest circulation witbiu tbe required limits. T Her Book. •a? ton, Pakll»Mr», 413 Rroldw.y. London : 8. Low A Cos. IMT. Gao. A. Oates, Augusta, Ba. We enter upon a ciitical notice of this work with uo little hesitation and misgiving of oer ability to do the fair authoress justice, particularly afyrr her scathing, and, we fear, too often ferited rebuke of those professional critics, whose principal duty seems to be to write down all anthora, or, at least, to point out their faults in glowing colors, and paint their merits as dimly as pos sible. And again, onr well known gal lantry would lead us to deal kindly with a lady’s faults, even if we felt it a duty to expose them. Fortunately, however, in this instance, there is so little to con demn, that it is unnecessary to even refer to its faults, for certainly- it has some—as what book of human author ship has not? Leaving these, then, out of view, we pronounce Su Elmo ns the best of the three books which Miss Evans has writtcti ; nnd if we were to write columns in its tavor, we could add no expression of greater praise than this; for who that has read “Beulah” and “Macaria” but will pronounce them capital and captivating novels ? Miss Evans has wisely sought to con vey great moral truth through the pages of her novels; and in St. Elmo, she has given us some political views which are worthy of commendation, and would not suffer from a comparison with Mills, and other political economists- She is pe culisrly gifted as a word painter, and a beauty and even sublimity characterizes many passages in the work under con sideration, which render it grand and attractive even in its simplicity and clearness ot style. It is true, she often draws comparisons from classical and scientific literature, and illustrates her positions by quotations from the Latin and foreign tongues; and for this she has been accused, by some critics, as pedantic aud ambitious of displaying her knowledge—an injustice which we must repel; for surely such varied refer ences and deep research as are shown in St. Elmo, evince a refinement of talent, aiid degree ot learning that could uot be found in hasty references to text books, Encyclopedias, and Classical Dictionaries. This charge must fail harmless at the feet of the fair author ess, and is best answered in the refer enced .to a similar charge against her heroine Edna Earl, who is also an au thoress : ‘‘Whereat the young author could not help laughing heartily, and wondering why, if her learning had been so easily gleaned, her iri.tj and insulted critics did not follow lnr example” (.) And again Edna says: “When will they begin to suspect that what they may imagine sounds ‘learned’ in my writings, merely appears so to theiq because they have not climbed high enough to see how vast, how infinite, is the sphere of human learning? No, no, dear reader) shivering with learning-phobia, I am not iearned. You are only a little, a very little more ignorant. Doubtless you know many things which I should be glad to learu : come let us barter. Let us all study the life ot Giovani Pica Mirandola. and then we shall begin to understand the meauing of the word learned.” We trust we shall be pardoned for quoting Miss Evans’ defence of her heroine against a similar charge, as applicable to herself, with the single exception that the former is “learned”— learned not only in the knowledge which books afford, but learned in the nature of men and women, and more particularly in that of the latter; learned in the use of words and the knowledge of stringing them together beautifully. This learning she has most charmingly displayed in the pres ent Novel, and we take pleasure in en dorsing the following complimentary and highly flattering, but well deserved, notice of the the book, from the Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligencer: “We regard the whole book as sublime in conception, and excellent in execution. It is a ehnrming volume, full of beauty, and at times, abounding in such eloquence ns moves upon the great deep of the soul as the ocean is stirred by a mighty wind. If Miss Evans needed ono more achievement as a culminating point for her fame she has it iu St. Elmo. We predict for it an immense sale and tender dealing at the hands of impe rious criticism.” The South has reason to be proud of Miss Evans’ fame, and she has cause to be proud of St. Elmo. Those who have not read it should do so at once ; and fastidious must be tbe taste that is not pleased with it. Aouicui.tukal Colleges. —The Lex ington (Ky.) Gazette, speaking o! the ngricultural department’of the State University, says : This department of the University is last failing to the capacity of uccum modatiun. There are about eighty students, and a fine and more gentle manly set of yonng men are not to be found in any collego in the country. Jt is a handsome sight to see them ou parade, with their new uniforms and martial air, stepping with the precision of veterans to the drum and fife. There are no bfudents faken under sixteen years of age, and those now entered are lino grown, athletic young men, in tin very picture of health. They presents marked contrast to most college students, with their sickly, bent forms and caffe verous countenances. This is the result ol the out-door exercise and wiyk which they do. The drill, which they go through, straightens their forms, and their mental discipline deprives them of the brutal expression which >s observable in the mere soldier. The following is given as the statia* tics of the Protestant Episcopal Church in this country: Whole number of par. isliers, 2306 ; number of clergy, 2630; total membership, 161,225 , col tribu iious for the past year, $3,951,067. Onr Position, Onr D&o£pr, and Onr Duty. Itlltl IT. Editor of the Daily Press r—lt is th e organised passion, prejudice, and hos tility of the majority of the Northern people which we haM to encounter and which we must overtome before we can expect a cessation of the injustice and oppression with which the Radicals in Congre«s are pursuing us. While that organized hostility continues, the power of Stevens and Sumner is unlimited. Whenever it ceases, those individuals become us impotent to harm us as the little pages who carry their letters to the mail. The Radicals know this, and, therefore, it is that their dreams by night and their thoughts by day all tend to inflame tbe passion, foster the prejudice, and envenom the hostility of the North against us, and that there is no art, or Rrtifice, no misrepresenta tion, or falsehood, to which they are not prepared to resort iu order to carry out their own purely selfish purpose. Whenever the Northern people find out that the people of the South are honest, sincere, and law-abiding ; that they want nothing but peace and good fellowship with all meu; that they are not turbulent, faithless, lawless, or cruelty loving, as they are represented, the death knell of Radical dominion will have sounded, and we shall cease to be the victims of wrong and injustice. All the insults, vituperation, aud threats of the Radicals are designed with the studied purpose to goad us into the commission of some intern perate act, or the expression of excited feeling, which may appear to afford justification for the oppression with which we are treated. The Radical leaders hate us with deeper intensity for our moderation and submission to law than they would were we really guilty of the crimes which they impute to us. It we really made the murder of negroes our daily pastime, and varied that amusement with the occasional assas sination or torture of Union men, as the Radical journals daily inform their leaders, we should not be nearly ns odious to Mr. Sunnier as we are, nor would it be necessary for him to fabri cate a correspondence recounting the catalogue of our crimes, in order to give point to his “tales of wonder.” It is of vital importance to the Radical politi cians, that the North should believe that we are violent, aggressive, intractable, rebellious, contumacious, stiff-necked, barbarous, and that a number of other adjectives of similar import, give only a feeble idea of our criminal acts and in tentions. By these misrepresentations the "organized hostility” to which I re fer is preserved. To undermine and break down this is our first duty, and one which I feel convinced we can suc cessfully perform, nnd that too without the slightest forfeiture of houor or self respect. We c-au disarm passion by modera tion and patience. We can dissipate prejudice by proving that it is unfounded nnd unjust; and when we have done this, hostility will die out for want if fuel. We may refuse to adopt the pro posed Constitutional Amendment and thereby become the bribed traducers oi our own brethren, and yet be willing and ready to make concessions to secure peace nnd rest. We may claim ail onr Constitutional rights without angry defij ancc or the creation of sectional issues. While we profess nnd observe a religious obedience to all constitutional laws, we successfully maintain that by that very obedience we prove our right to protec tion against injustice and discriminating legislation. While we declare our wil lingness to submit to equal laxation, we assert our right to equal representation. While we cheerfully agree to fulfil all our dnlies, we prove most conclusively our title to all our rights. At the same time that I hope that every Southern State may decline to adopt the Constitutional Amendment witli the same unanimity of popular sentiment as was manifested in Georgia; and while I trust that the South will never yield one jot or tittle of her honor through fear, or to purchase thrift, 1 do hope that she will use all honorable means within her power to avert the calamities by which she is beset, and defeat the schemes by which an unprin cipled political faction seeks to work h> r destruction. Li my bumble judgment, it is as fool ish as it is certainly ruinous for us to declare that we refuse all terms and compromise, because we do not believe that we can get the exact terms which we desire ; and it appears to me equally imprudent to wrap ourselves in sullen silence because we have refused to accept a proposition which we think dis honorable. To talk and write as if Leo was still at the head ot the glorious army of Northern Virginia, and John ston still commanded the army of Ten nessee, may gratify pride, hut. it is cer tainly inconsistent with wisdom. Tlie tacts by which wo are sur rounded are too stern to be denied or Overlooked. It is plain that we must make concessions to the united senti ment ol the North before we can hope for a termination of our troubles. By onr readiness to make such con cessions ns onr honor nnd safety will permit, we may conciliate oppositii n, assuage angry teeling, and incline those who have the power to moderate their demands. By a contrary course—by a haughty refusal to treat—we certainly consolidate and intensify hostility and precipitate our own ruin. We may he convinced that it is unjust and un fcnerous to force us to make any fur ther concessions. We have done every thing that ought to bo requir and of us. We have abundantly proved our good faith. But of what avail to ns is this conviction, where an irresistible major tty, professiug to govern as conqueror, governs subjects and say that they are tot satisfied, and that we must do some hlng more? To refuse to speak is piite as ruinous to us as active resist , ..tnce would be, Xylon. New Advertisements. HOUSE OR ROOMS TO EEHT.

Admirably adapted to the Organ of Sight, and perfectly natural to the eye, affording altogether the best artificial help to the human vision ever invented. Sold only by the Professor of Optics and Spectacle Manufacturer. THE ADVANTAGES of these Spectacles aver all others, are— -Ist. The only true Lens known, being per fectly free from chromatic light, so well known to be the cause of injury to the vision, and which makes the change from Spectacled to Glasses of stronger powers, so often required, while both near and distant objects are seen with equal facility through the same Glasses. 2d. Can be worn with perfect ease for suy length of time at one sitting, giving astonish ing clearness of vision, particularly by candle or other artificial light—comfort to the Spec tacle wearer hitherto unknown. 3d. When the eyes ache or pain through the action of a bright light, such as is reflected from snow, sunny weather, white paper, and in reading, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored bodies, these Lenses, by softening the rays, effect a most agreeable sensation and give great relief. 4th.

TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS From Medical gentlemen, Professors of the highest Opthnlmic talent iu Augusta, Ga., and iu the Union : Augusta, Ga., December Bth, 1866. I have examined tbe Glasses of Dr. Bern hardt, and find them of good quality. His testimonials arc very iflnnerous and exceed ingly flattering. ,L. A. DUGAS, M. D. Augusta, Ga., Dec 7, 1866. I do most willingly bear my testimony io favor of the superiority of tbo Australian Crystal—single and double vision spectacles— ever all other kinds. They aro constructed upon tho best established and understood prin ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the buiean eye iu its different conditions of vision is so perfect, as to render sight easy without effort. In my opinion, nooe others should, used, since the eyes once used to those do i. seem to grow old, and by having a focus, any point of the surface, they nppear to re store tbe eyes to their youthful energy. LEWIS D. FORD, M. D. Augusta, Oa., Doc. y, 1866. I have examined a great variety of Glasses manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, aud in justice to tbe Professor, must say that his Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to mcot the wants of almost every eye, where the vision is in any way imperfect. The Professor selected tor me a pair of tbe Australian Crystal Glasses, which are of a very superior quality and workmanship, rendering vision very dis tinct, almost us perfect us in youth. 1 yield this testimony in favor of tho Professor’S Glasses most cheerfully. C. 0. PRITCHARD, M. D. Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1366. I very cordially recommend Prof. Jl. Bern hardt to all who may require Glasses. DeSAUSSUBE FORD, M. D. Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1866. We have examined the Lenses of Professor Bernhardt, Rnd consider them superior to any we have scon. They are admirably adapted net only to improve the imperfections of impaired sight, but to relieve tho weariness of vision which constant study produces. Many of the Glasses are of new and ingenious contrivance. We cordiatiy recommend the Prolessor to all those who require scicn'ifio optical assistance. H. 11. BIGNOR, M. D., JOHN L. COLEMAN, M. D., W. H. DOUGHTY, M. D., WM. 11. CLARKE, GREGORY DUGGAN. Augusta, Oa , Deo. S, 1866. I have examined the Glosses of Dr. M. Bernhardt, of Europe, and have tried them. They are very remarkable for their beamy of workmanship, and for their power to assist the vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt has made Optics the study of his life, nnd is evidently moat thoroughly acquainted with tbe science. He is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has studied there, but has for several years bceu a resident of New York. The diseased and aged will find great relief from tbe use of his Glasses. I have >ecn numerous testimonials to the ex cellence ol bis Glasses, and to bis skill as an Optician, and I would recommend him to ail whose vision is impaired either through age or disease. JOSEPH R. WILSON, Pastor First Presbyterian Church. Savannah, Ga., Nov. 29, 1866. I horehy certify that Mrs. Davenport has been affected with Ainorousis for about two months; it became almost complete. On the 2d of November last, according to my own advice, she placed herself under the charge of Dr. M. Bernhardt. Her vision has rapidly improved. She can now read small print.with ur without glasses. JURIAH HARRIS, M. D. I fully endorse what Dr. Harris has above anid. W. N. WARING, M. D. Savannah, Ga., Nov. 29. 1866. Prof Me or M. Bernhardt, Optician and Oculist : I obtcrfully state to you that a farther ac quaintance with you and your most excellent Glasses has confirmed my first impressions us to your thill and tboir superiority over the general run, and I recommend all whoso vision is in any way impaired, as mine unfortunately is, to avail themselves of your science.
