« Baily&afwrer. JOHN II. SIAIIT1.V Kftllor. COLUMBUS: Friday Morning, Nov. 17. 1865. The C'oiieUhitlonnl Amendment f«» hr Adopted — Knotty Htti'Nthun Neillnl liy It. \Vn inny now regard tlio adoption r»f tho constitutional umcitdinGJi*, abolishing slavery throughout tli«* United stale?, as h fact accomplished. Thn adoption of the a men dm on t by the Loa;i laturo of South Carolina, and the triumph of the Republican** in New Jersey, c ottlo the question. The ii«?riil of only thren more States was noed .'1 befuro thoso ovonts, find the romiiininK vote required will easily be obtained, nvon without drawing upon another of tho cotton State?. Tho scope of this amendment i* larger than moit of our people at tho South liavo heretofore cotitemplated. Thu flrat clause declare? slavery forovi r abolished in all tho Slate? of the Union, and the second clause empowers ('<in^rcPs to pass all laws necessary to carry tho first into ofl’ect.— ( Wo havo net tho amendment before us, and cannot quote its precise word*, but tills is it? substance*.) How will Con^ro*? construe its Rrant of power under the second clause, and how carry it ifito el* fl*et° We have liftTdly tv vloubt on the subject. Tho majority of tho present ConKro** will confitruo it an ompowering them to do everything doomed by them necessary to protect tho ne^ro in his now relation, and they will legislate for the Stales in this respect. They will compel the States to admit negro testimony in their court?, if any of them bliould re fuse or neglect to do so through their own Legislatures. Wo think that wo may a* well, therefore, make up our minds at once that "to this compUrli<>n it must come at lafct." Wo will have to accept negro toptimony, ih we huvo nlready had to accept emancipation, as < no of tlio ic on Its of the war. Wo am far from bnl loving that this kind of interference with the domestic polity of the States is in accordance with tho general in tout anl spirit of tho Gonstitution, or that even tho cofHtitulional amendment, interpreted with a duo regard to tho the ory of our complex Hy c tom of govern ment an il the other provisions of the na tional compact, can fairly bear such a construction. Hut wo know that th* puily in power in CongrO'S have never been Hcrupulou- in regard to the rights of tin* Slaton, or slrift con.‘ Irucliofiihls of any part of the Constitution which they found in tho way of any of their ofnl?. Happily, Hfe Ou&titution itself inter pose* an o.xpress and Insurmountable Iffir- rier to ('oiigrotodntml interference with the rights or limitations of BUllrago in tho Statos. It guimmtios that each Stale shiiTl bn tile sole judgo of the qualifications of Its oleclorK, leaving to thorn oven tho de termination of the qualifications of elect ors of Representatives to CongrosM. This will he a barrier to Congressional encroach ment on tho rights of the Stales in this respect, for the grant of power to pa*? all laws necessary to carry into (died onu clause of tho Constitution cannot be con strued to uuthoriz.u the disregard or annul ment of another and older constitutional provision.

The Appeal, as our readers know, had n rough lime during tho war, being kept almost as constantly on tho movu as our armies in the Hold.

Tliey appeared at ditJerenl pnitits, iti smad foree, leaving it a matter ol doubt wheth er attack <»r feint was intended. At length a charging par'..;/ was l«»uml to attack in ••urnn^t the artillery jeekets ut the south west part of th.* eity. 'J'he charging par ty made ut' iu dut-poiatioii what thoy lacked in numbers for a time. The artil lery picket xviif* foiced hack, leaving thoir gun* behind. At this juncture tho gun boat Puriuno, commandod by C’olonol Anselnin Gr'ihlo, steameit down tho riveT to the MHSiiultod point, and by a well di rected life, pul the outlaws to flight, when thn artillery picket retook their guns, and opened on the Hying outlaws. At the sumo time the fort commanded by our co- temporary, S*rmr Don Miguel Ponn, opened a .-hocking lire upon tlio outlaws, and though at long taw, aided the gun- bimlin • 'looting the clmpparol of the lafet Hciimp.

A* an ticipated. Colonel- Rubin and Pena won •n opinions for cool and determined net, and fe- clear perception shown in notion. While thn charge was being irlo at tho lower end of thn line, a furi- s artillery fire was lining kept up on the upper fort?, but without oileding any thing.

Altogether the fir ing continued for two hours, when it diod out. The Imperial troops maintained their enviable reputation admirably. The citizen . responded nobly, and wore on hand for u light, in which they wore disappoint-al. If possible, thn confidence in General Mejia was augmented. Al though Hfty-oight prisoners were taken, and largo rmmhors of outlaw* killed and wounded, the Imperial loss was several W'»tiruled and loss than h do/.on killed.

Fknianism in Canada -K.vriiAou- pin ary tfruKrH. —Tbo Montreal Tran script bus tbo following report: On .Sunday, tho UPth of Octohor, imino- diatoly after High Mass, Mr. Perruult, tho vvpreseutivtiyo iu Parliament of the coun ty of Richelieu, addressed the largo as sembly attending Lho service at Sorel, from before tho church door. Mr. l*or- raull dcciuiimd against tin* confederation of tho Provinces, und augured from it miseries and disasters. As this portion of the discourse was of the stereotyped order, it need not bn pavticuliu ly adverted to. 'Phut oortiuu which wus of tho more ex traordinary nuluro wus his di.-courso to the French <huiadiuns, whom he adilroesed upon tho Fenian moyementa and the ori gin, alms, and di termination of that body. Mr. Ver.vttult told hL audience that the Irirh wnrediivoo, by tho tyranny of Eng land, L» avenge themselves upon thoir hereditary foes aiuJ tyrants m the nmnnor they are iiov doing. The Society of Fe nian.- was incited by the wrongs of au in- jured people. lie said that the Funiuns would invade Canada daiing the ensuing winter, and would hold the Upper Province. That they could do .*0 \\;p no matter t>f doubt. They would then have tho money of tho Provinces iu their hut ids, with which thoy could buy and equip shins and carry on a war ugnimd England. Mr. Perruult then expatiated with energy upon tho wrongs Ireland had suffered, and which had driven her to seek this mode of re dress. The ^pencil was extremely ener getic, and end. d by his reassertion of tho intentions of the Feninus of tho United States to invade the Provinces, and of tht ir suerei.ii in to doing. Mr. Perraull’s reprcsenlation* wore of so posltivo * na ture, as to induce a belief that his authori ties cuino from other source* than more sm uiiie; and that tho warning came from actual authority. Upon listening to tho conversation of those in the crowd assem bled, there appeared to be a full belief in A >ew lixplosive Material—The Chemistry of the ffulVeiau. The accident at tho Wyoming Hotel on Sunday will probably provo to ho the startling announcement of tho advent of a new explosive material. W<* have hoard much during the wnr of tnrpodoes find othor infernal machinos, that Hiecoinmu- nity f‘H(iie tiulurally to the conclusion, on the first Account, tl»**t the myR'-rious box so 1* fig neglected in tho hotel contained only one more of tho destructive devices of our enemies. Hut the slalornent of I^ers that tho box contained specimens of "chemicul oils," brought here with a view to inakff money, ana with no evil purpose, is in all likelihood true. Leers brought tlm box from Hamburg, which place he left in June, Some few months before that, a chemist of Hamburg, Mr. Alfred Noble, announced tho discovery of a now blasting oil, which ho cluimod would supersede gunpowder for all ordinary ex plosive purposes. Nobel’s compound pro duce**, on oxplo.don, five times the volume of gas produced by an equal weight of gunpowder, and, as its inventor claims, has thirteen times tho power. It is a chemical compound of thirty-seven parts of nitric acid with one of glycerine. This nitro-glycerine is a yellowish, oily fluid in appearance, It is not soluble in WHter nor explosive by liro. It detonates under cor* tain circumstances. Tho accident in Greenwich street answers in all rospects to hti explosion of this material, especially in its turrillc power. It is evident that the explosive material was a fluid ; there wa? somo evolution of gas just before the ex- ploeion, giving out an odor that was mis taken for that of hydrochloric acid, and whuh the box was let fall on tho street, thuro was n sufficient blow no doubt to explode a detonating compound. Before tl.o b*»x was carried out, flames issued from it, and Nobel’s nitro-glyeorinc will burn without exploding. Nobel’s compound, though without the immense force of chloride of nitrogem, ha? been found to possess great power in mining operations. Had General Grant nt the time tlio mine was run urid"r the rebel works ut Petersburg nlacod in it a weight of thi« material equal to tho woight of gunpowder placed there thu oxplo.-ion would haveaimulatod an earthquake. He would have shaken down every fort that -to<»d between the two urrniea and every house in Petersburg, and would have mado himself foil throughout the territo ry then held by the enemy. It is difficult to say w hat might have become of the two armies. This chemical discovery is one more of the secrets of nnturo secured by science; and it is still safe to say that wc are only on tho threshold of discovery in this direction. Gunpowder, nitre-glyco- rine and chloride of nitrogen stand per haps a* only A BC in the ascending se ries of explosive forces with which Hie great operations of nature have been wrought. By thoir aid we may dimly guess at the powers whoso explosion piled up such ranges of granite as the Rocky Mountains, tlio Am.es and lho Alp?; at tho lesser powers that have torn upon tho mountains through which great rivers, as the Hudson, flow to tho sea* that have "(lusted down the domes’' of cities like Lisbon, und that require such va?t vent holes and safety valves as Vesuvius and Etna. By considering the earth a? one grund chemical laboratory, with forces of unknown and unimagined power opera ting within it according to fixed law?, wo can gain a better conception than in any other way of the operations, of nature that have most UhlonLhed Hie world, that they have boon most regarded as impontrnblo mysteries, that havo been most used by superstition to darken the human mind. From a purely chemical standpoint,also, wc can gam our only possible comprehen sion of tho oldest of truditions—tlio great est puzzlo of philosophers of every ago— tho story of chaos, when tho earth was "without form and void." Chembtry shows us Imw, by tho laws of nature, tho sumo body tm»y exist in a solid, a fluid m a gaseous form ; how from a solid it may he futiflod to gas, and how again may from an expansion that sounds almost fabulous ho condensod and restored t-» its solid form. The application of this law of con doiisation on a grand scale to niHlter ex pnndml through space in a gaseous form might result in the formation of planets— lho chemical contact of tho various gases in the evolution of heat—and heat in mo tion. So out of proportion are the gas eous and solid forms of a given body that our own earth might perhaps besoratifled a? to till tho whole of tho space in our sys tem. Science, while thus looking upon tho visible uirivorso as tho rosult of llxod laws, yojUt os that the powor which mado and fixed those laws is still incomprehen sible; tHough it tench nr* us to regard that power with infinitely higher thought than »h possible to any blind lklth. Wo can best understand the history of tho Uni- vorsoandof tlio Earth by regarding tho succession of events as so many grand chemical changes, by looking at them in tho light of a corlainod • laws id science ; and hence the axiom of the faith of mod orn philosophy, 'Man, 1 the servant and interpreter of Nature, understands and performs so much as hu has gathered by observation or experience, nor does Jus knowolodgo or his power extend further. [AVio York Herald. lion. John Wilson, tho Republican Congressman elect fioin the Lafl^'elte District; lndiaun, bus boon making a spooeh; in which ho fully endorses the re construction policy of President Johnson. There is considerable sense in the follow ing extracts from Ills remarks. Ho says . THK CONSTITUTIONAL POWER. Congress may admit now States, but has no powor to expel old States. By solemn acts of Congress all the rebellious Elates have been adiuiltod to tho Union except four, which wore of tho original thirteen which formed the Union. Thero is ro power in tho Constitution, either express or inipliod, to reduce States to Territories. It is the duly of tho Unitod Stales to guarantee to ovary State in tho Union a republican form of government, and this guarantee is not a flee ted by rebellion. Khodo Island, Massachusetts and Penn sylvania did not cease to boStatos boentue of the rebellion in thoir hordors, nor have the Southern Statos. Ho adds: IS IT NOT BETTER? Is it not the dictate of sound policy to proceed with thu restoration of tlio South with tho least possible delay ? There is an immense debt to be paid, and we want the South placed in a condition to help pay it.
