A Puutical Portrait.—The Boston Post thus shows up the past history of some of Ihe Mouiliern renegades who are prominent in gelling up the Radical Convention at Philadelphia, on the 3d proximo : Tlie immaculate Southern Unionists, who are in hold a Convention in Philadelphia next month to aid the Radicals, are like most nun who pretend to be better than their fel lows. 'often not quite as good. Stokes was a furious secessionist and rebel; Jack Hamil ton, the Houston Telegraph informs us, “lrom 1853 to 1838, was a most violent se cessionist, insisting on the recision of the articles ol annexation ol Texas to the Union, and seeking support for public office on that platform. He was thus in favor of secession, by “separate State action,” before anybody else in the Sou'h was, in consequence of Northern aggressions upon the institution of slavery. About the same time he was openly and earnestly an advocate of the re-opening ot the African slave-trade. And last of all, after the war commenced, he applied to a leading merchant in Galveston for money to raise a company for Confederate service! haunt—the great Southern Unionist and Radical orator—held a commission in the rebel army and said the way they served laukees, when they caught them, was to ™ng them to the first tree. Hahn held a commission under the Confederate Govern- tutut, and so on. There is scarcely a man among these puerists who was not a seces sionist sometime during the rebellion—who either encouraged its commencement or sus- tamed it afterward. This could be forgiven •licm if they were not so intolerant them selves and so brazen in their pretensions. Financial.—The Washington Star says : la consequence of the amendments made the tax laws by Congress, and which were unnecessarily deferred until the last days ol tn- session, the sixty millions due to the Gov ernment from the people on account of the income tax, could not this year be collected " s heretofore in July, when business is dull, -mu the drain from circulation but little felt; ™t was necessarily deferred until September, vuen the active fall trade usually sets in. *“ e anxiety felt in commercial circles as to hie embarrassment likely to result from this f ™se, has been relieved by the official an- U'lnucement.of Secretary McCulloch -that af- l ' r the 20 th instant all temporary deposits in Treasury, except the clearing house cei- hScatcs, will cease to bear interests. The I'tiect of this decision will be that the depos its. which amount to sixty-nine millions, will 1* withdrawn before the clos of the month. The ten millions of interest due on the first s «ies of Seven-thirties is now being dis bursed, which, with the $70,000,000 falling due on the 27th instant, will make $80,000,- bw payable out of the Treasury, to effect the 860,000,000 of income tax, payable into the Treasury, thus adding $20,000,000 to our cir culation lor business.

It is well known that strenuous efforts have lately been made in Washington, and interviews have been sought with President Johnson over and over again, though in a more quiet manner than formerly, by Charles O’Conor and many other warm friends of Mr. Davis, for the purpose of making a final effort to secure his conditional parole upon the ground of his continued ill-health. The pressure which has thus been brought to bear upon President Johnson, and other considerations and influences, it is generally thought, have at last forced him to yield, and that he will shortly grant Jeff. Davis a parole on very neatly the same conditions pre scribed to Clement C. Clay. In fact this is tbe prevailing opinion here, and many have remarked, by way of corroboration, that Mrs. Davis lias appeared more cheerful and lively since her sudden return from Canada than was ever before noticed in her usually des ponding countenance. The State Road.—We learn from the Car- tersville Express that one who traveled oyer this road a year ago would hardly recognize that it is the same thoroughfare—so great have been tbe improvements inaugurated un der the present administration. Governor Jenkins appears to have been very fortunate m the selection of Major Campbell Wallace, as Superintendent, and bis assistant* in all departments have proven themselves faithful and persevering officers. The track from Atlanta to Chattanooga—with the exception of a few miles on this end of the line, below Marietta—has been put in thorough order; several miles of new track have been laid, new depots have been built, new machine shops, round house; many new and substantial bridges; engines and cars renovated, and everything along the line put in order. The road is bountifully supplied with wood and crossties, and everything is working as smooth as clock-work. These expenditures have cost vast sums of money, but the reve nues from the road will, it is believed, be such as to leave the-pockets of the people un- bisturbed, and the credit of the State unim paired.-—Auffvstct Chronicle. New Boors.—It would hardly be credited that a little work, published several years ago, entitled “Universalijm not ot God, sold to the extent of 80,000 comes. Its au thor, Mathew Hale Smith, has a new took nearly ready, ‘ ‘ Mount Calvary, or Medita tions in Sacred Places,” which will!)® warmly welcomed by lovers of devotional and de scriptive reading. It comes from the press ot Carleton, New York, Who wUl also pub lish a new book by Hartba Haines Butt Ben nett, entitled “Pastimes with my Little Friends.” The Feeling in Ireland. We have had James Stephens' bold and emphatic declaration, made in this country, that before tbe present year is out the stand ard of rebellion will again be raised in Ire- laod.and the British power defied. -It sounds like an empty boast, but dispassionate ob servers in Ireland write that such an event is not at all UDlikely. A Dublin correspond ent of the New York News writes, August lltb: Are tbe repealed declarations of James Ste phens, relative to tbe imminency of an in- surrectionaiy movement in Ireland true? and is it true that tbe members of that con spiracy, against which the British Govern ment have dealt such vigorous aud crashing blows, have not yet abandoned the intention of speedily trying their fortunes on the field of battle ? are the first question which I would wish to be permitted to discuss. I desire to answer them chiefly because these are points on which public opinion has un dergone a remarkable change, ana the con sideration of which is materially affected by certain recent developments among tbe brotherhood. It is a serious matter to say, but j would be trifling with the facts were I to Conceal from your readers that among those possessing peculiar opportunities for forming a correct judgment on the matter there is but one opinion, and that opinion is that before the world is six months older, there will be a great deal of bloodshed and confusion in Ireland. Let there be no mis take about it. There is a body of men here, numerically small, perhaps, io proportion to tbe population, hut active, resolute and un scrupulous, determine^ at all cost and at all hazards to come to blows with the British Government before many, mouths. They are not the best portion of our population, nor the wisest, nor, I am convinced, the most patriotic; they form just the nucleus of tbe great organization which crumbled away before the action of the authorities or fell to pieces through internal dissensions and distrust. They meant to fight iu September last, and in each succeeding month up to February. That they did not attempt something of tbe kind has been to me always a matter of sur prise ; that they will attempt it shortly there is little reason to doubt. It must be remem bered that these men were baulked, not beaten. Believe'me, James Stephens means what be says, and so do thousands of bis fol lowers here. They are resolved on taking up arras and sounding the tocsin of war be- fore|1866 has expired ; but never wa9 there a more suicidal aud hopeless contest than hat’^struggle will be. The belief that tbe conspiracy will never again attain its former proportion in Ireland may be incorrect, though I do not think so. Expected Release of Mb. Davis.—Fort Monroe, August 25.—Tbe impression stead- ily gains ground* here that Jefferson Davis will soon be released from bis long imprison ment. This impression, however, is not produced by any action that has as yet been taken by tbe Government that could be con strued as a preliminary to bis release, but it is merely the result of a frequent expression ......

Lauer Secre- A jury of twelve, composed of old and prominent citizens of the city and country, were then appointed to try the murderer and his accomplices. A commit tee of five citizens were then appointed to guard the jaiL The committee |hen adjourned to the city park for trial. The immense crowd then began to move toward the park, aud for the space of one hour it was almost im possible to cross Tenth street, so dense was the crowd. Soon a space of twenty feet in circumference in the center of the park was cleared, and a rope stretched around the space to prevent porsons from coming within the circle; but so anxious were they to bear the testimony that they paid no attention to the rope. Some fifteen or twenty policemen were then put on duty, and, after much difficulty, succeeded in keeping tbe crowd outside until the trial commenced. The committee appointed to guard the jail were ordered to bring the prisoners, Casper Friedrick Dircks and his accomplices, Bichard P. Ford aud Se bastian Deitcb, from iheir cells to the park. Wit nesses were then sent for, and the trial was had as closely under the forms of the law ah circumstances would permit Lawyers for the prosecution and de fense were selected, and the arrangements for the trial commenced. ****•& After the examination of witnesses, the counsel on each side reviewed the evidence, and tho case went to the jury. The jury, after retiring for consultation, returned and brought in a verdict of wilful murder against Cas per Dircks, and recommended that Sebastian Deltch and Richard P. Ford be remanded to jail for further trial before the District Court. A proposition was then made to hang Dircks imme diately, but, upon the request of many citizens, a respite was granted until 6 o’clock P. M., and at 2>£ o’clock the prisoners were taken back to the jail. Workmen immediately commenced the erection of a scaffold on the Court House square, and preparations were made for the awfnl finale. Rev. H. T. Davis, of the Methodist church, attended the prisoner in his cell, and gave him the last cousola- tiont that religion can offer. At 6 o’clock the prisoner was brought and placed upon the platform, and a prayer offered by Kev. Mr. Davis. Dircks then said, taking hold of the noose : “Holding as I do this rope, which is to send me into eternity, I declare that I am guilty of the larceny ; but of murder I am not.’I He was afterwards asked sev eral times if he knew who killed tlia boy. He re plied that he did not. He then said, “May God have mercy on my soul! ” and the drop fell. He struggled a few moments, and all.was over. The following items concerniim his past life, he gave us an hour before he was launched into eternity: He said: “I was born in Germany; am 27 years old; the son of respectable pareuts; ran away from homo, came to America, entered the regular army, aud served five years under Col. Robert Lee. At the out break of the rebellion raised a company in the G5th Illinois, with the commission of 1st lieutenant. Last September was mustered out of service as lieutenant colonel. Was a member of Andy Johuson’s body guard in Tennessee, and accompanied him from that State to Washington.” LBTTEB TO HIS LADY LOVE.

Profits of Northern Manufacturer* [From the Columbus Enquirer.) The great evil attending thw old plantation system of the South, was that the business of raising cotton and investing in lands and negroes so much engaged Ike attention of our people that they paid no regard to the other means of thrift aud prosperity at their com mand. They did not even make aJl that they could make out of their cotton—no, not tbe half of it. Con tent with raising the staple, they permitted others to avail themselves of the great profits attending its manufacture. That these profits were very great, have abundant evidence in the wealth of the “ lords ol the loom,” and the value of stock in their factories. We have recently published some startling facts show ing the large dividends declared of late by the cotton manufacturers, and now we have some reports of sales of stocks in manufacturing establishments, that bear equally strong evidence of the enormous profits of this business. There is no other investment in any busi ness of the country now so valuable. Some petroleum stocks may be as good or better, but these are rare and liable to depreciatjop at any time; whereas the business of cotton manufacturing is one of established safety aud stability. * Introducing the accounts of sales of stock, above alluded to, the Memphis Appeal says : “ It has been amply demonstrated In the Northern States, that in the manufacture of, say brown sheetings or shirtings, yard is equivalent to one hundred per cent, on the capital stocknmployed, and so on. ret this is notori ously a small profit with those engagfil in cotton spin ning and weaving at present in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This is apparent from the market value of the stocks in the principal manufacturing companies in that section, which, be it noted, are so valuable as rarely ever to be on tale, and then only in case of death of the holder, dissolution of partnership or other similar causes, which makes Bale by auction inevitable for purposes of partition or settlement In a late number of the United States Economist and Dry Goods Reporter, it is stated that at recent sales shares in the following companies brought the large prices respectively quoted, viz : Mass. Cotton Mills (par value $100j, 997 % Middlesex Mauuf. Co., “ 214@215 Lawrence Manuf. Co., “ 92*^ Merrimac Manuf. Co., “ 1.315 Androscoggin Mills, “ 185 Pepperell Manuf. Co., “ 1,105 Pacific Mills, “ 2,012^(0;2,015 Nashua Manuf. Co., ** 75U(o>765 Stark Mills, “ 1,275 Chicopee Manuf. Co., “ 275 Salisbury Manuf. Co., “ 270)£ Bott Cotton Mills, *‘ 1.080 Laconia Manuf. Co., “ 1,200 Amoskeag Manuf. Co., “ 1,312% Great Falls Manuf. Co., “ 215 Let any one weigh a yard of the ordinary brown muslins on sale in this city, and estimate approxi mative^ what it must cost to fabricate it, and a good idea of the profit may be formed by comparing what was paid the manufacturer for it. It is now known that the early manufacturers in New England used to make brown cottons, weighing about four ounces to the yard, with cotton at 25 cts. per pound, at the cost of 10 ots. to the yard, for which for years they re ceived at tbe mills from 30 to 40 cents. That is a profit of 600 per cent, at 30 cents. .It was this fact which created seven (j-eix cotton factories within the scope ot thirty miles around Providence. Rhode Island. The sum of one thousand dollars invested in a stock pays 100 per cent, and constantly reinvested at once, is all can see at a glance, becomes over a mil lion in ten years. Paying 200 per cent the million is reached in a little over six years—and at 310 per oent., within five years. It would appear that nothing could be more simple or certain than the calculation which capitalists are able to make preliminary to any investment, of the character we would urge upon them as prospec tively so profitable, while fraught with immeuse ad vantage to the future of their, city, end of course the improvement in value of their other property aud in vestments. The cost of buildings, machinery, coal and labor can be ascertained with sufficient accurary to enable any one to reach a fair idea of the possible profits, leaving a wide margin foi* contingent ex penses. If this is thoroughly investigated, we are satisfied if will open out a field of greater richness for our capitalists than any as yet known to to them. Pabsons on Promissory Notes.—A pub lishing house advertised in a city journal, “Parsons on Promissory Notes;” referring to which the editor aemarked: “There are a few parsons whose notes, not to speak of their indorsements, are not of much account in Wall street.” “And this,” says the Knick erbocker, reminds ns of a remark once made by the late John Sanderson, the witty author* of “The American in Paris,” touching cer tain unnegotiable clerical “paper” which he keld: “They will take the minister’s word unquestioned, every Sunday, for the eternal future, but won’t take his note, with only ninety days to run!” Since Harti^ll)65|gjbe war has been brought io a successfuPcdiciusiqh ms immense armies have been disbanded; evtey soldier has begf )lbd before being mustered oufcof the service; all maturing obligations otite Government have been teftfafitctorily provided foF,%$iile the natiopal debti&jiearly two hundred and (fifty miliioua less tlpmJt was estimated it would be at the profit time,and the reduction of it ha j averaged for the past year more than ten millions per month.

In my opinion, the people of the United States are to make republicanism illustrious among the nations by establishing tbe fact that the securities of a republican government are tbe safest of all securities, add that the people who impose taxes upon themselves are the most jealous of their national credit. 1 do oof, howevever, disgaise the fact that .great financial difficulties are still to be overcome; that our present prosperity is rather apparent than real ^ that we are measuring values by a false standard; that we are, in fact, exposed to all the dangers which attend an inflated, an irredeemable currency, which dimin ishes labor—the true source of national Wealth—and stimulates speculation and extravagance, which lead invariably to thriftlessness and demoralization. "Be fore the country becomes again really prosperous, the specie standard mast be restored, prices reduced, In dustry stimulated, the products of tho country in creased, the balance of trade between the United States and other nations cease £p be against us; all the great interests of the coUniry cared for and protected by wise aud impartial legislation, and a'l sections of the country be brought again into harmonious aud practioal relations with the General Government. That the country will be again thus really prosper ous is as certain as anything in the future. That it should be so at an early day, that too, without a finan cial crisis, it is only necessary that there should be proper legislation by Congress, economy in the public expenditures, and fidelity on the part of those who are entrusted with the management of tho public revenue.

Some years ago a young man, bolding a subordinate position in the East India service, twice attempted to deprive himself of life by snapping a loaded pistol at his head. Each time the pistol missed fire. A friend entered his room shortly afterward, when he requested him to fire it out of the window; it then went off with out auy difficulty. Satisfied thus that the weapon had been duly primed and loaded, the young man sprang up* exclaiming, “I must be preserved for something great!” aud from that moment gave up the idea of suieide, which for some time previous had bfcen up permost in bis thoughts. That young man afterward became Lord Clive. Two brothers were, on one occasion, walking to gether, when a violent storm, thunder and lightning overtook them. One was struck dead on the spot; the other was spared, else would the name of the great reformer, Martin Luther, have been uuknown to mankind. Bacon, the sculptor, when a tender boy of five years old, fell into the pit of a soap boiler, and must have Xierisbed, had not a workman, just entering the yard, observed his head and delivered him. When Oliver Cromwell was an infant, a monkey snatched him from his cradle, leaped with him through a garret window, and ran along the leads of the house. The utmost alarm was excited among the inmates, and various were the devices used to rescue the child from the guardianship of his newly found protector. All were unavailing ; his would-be rescu ers had lost courage, and were in despair of ever see ing the baby alive again, when tbe monkey retraced bis steps, and deposited its burden safely on the bed. On a subsequent occasion, the waters nad well nigh quenched his insatiable ambition. He fell fntoapfind^ from drowning in which a clergyman named Johnson was tho sole instrument of his rescue. 4 * 1 v At (he seige of Leicester, a young soldier.about sev enteen years of age, was drawn out for centry duty. Oue of bis comrades was very anxious to take his place. No objection was made, aud this man went. He was shot dead while on guard. This young man, first drawn,afterwards became the author of “Pilgrim’s Progress.” Doddridge, when born, was so weakly ^ra infant ho was believed to be dead. A nurse standing by fancied she sfiw some signs of vitality. Thus the feeble spark of life was saved from being extinguished, and an eminent author and consistent Christian preserved to the woild. John Wesley, when a child, was only just preserved from fire. Almost the moment after he was rescued, the roof of the house where he had been lell in. Of Philip Henry a similar instance is recorded. John Knox, the renowned Scotch reformer, was al ways wont to sit at the head of tho table. With his back to the window. On one partfo liar evening,how ever, without being able to account for it, he would neither himself, nor permit any one else to occupy his place. That very night a bullet was shot in at the window, purposely to kill him; it grazed the seat in which he sat, and made a bole in tho foot of the can dlestick on the table. Many years have row elapsed Fince three subalterns might have been seen struggling in the water off St. | Helena; one of them, peculiarly helpless, was suc cumbing, He was saved to life as Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington. Tbe life of John Newton is but the history of mar vellous deliverances. As a youth he had agreed to accompany soqje friends on board of a man of-war. He arrived too late; the boat in which his friends had gone was capsized, and all its occupants drowned. On another occasion wh*n tide surveyor in the port of Liverpool, some business had detained him, so that he came much later than usual, to tbe great surprise of those who were in the habit of observing his uude- viating punctuality. He went out in a boat, as here tofore, to inspect a ship, which blew up before he reached her. Had he left the shore a few minutes sooner, he must have perished with the rest on board.

Extension of the Atlantic and Gulf Road.—The Bainbridge Argus of the 25th inst., has an editorial in whioh the editor un dertakes to stir up the “Decatur Stockdold- ers,” and dissatisfy them with the present manangment of the road. M e think such conduct disingenuous, and wholly unworthy of our usually fair and reasonable cotempora ry. It is well known to those who have the opportunity of looking on, that the preent managers of the road have been and are still doing every thing in their power to fulfill their obligations with the “Decatur Stock holders,” and such counsel as that given by the Argus, serves only to produce discord and embarrass the operations of the Compa ny No one doubts that the Atlantic & Gull Road will be extended'to Bainbridge,. and over here, it is believed that the work will be done at the eariiest possible moment We tbiv.tr the CompSny deserve great credit for what has already been done since the war, and we think also that onr Decatur friends should be satisfied if they get the road in three years after the great loss and delay oc casioned by the war.
