We are indebted to Hon. benjamin 11. Hill, >l
LaGruuge, (la., for- a letter in behalf of T. J.
Judge. Esq , the Opposition candidate for Con
gross iu the :td District of Alabama. It was writ
ten to define bis position, as .-owe gentlemen had
heard that he was giving the “benefit of his influ
ence to Mr Clapton.’ Like the Montgomery Mail,
we had never heard the rumor, but still are thank
ful for the letter. It comes in the very nick of
time! We waive any notice of the compliment
the distinguished writer pay s the demucraoy in
charging it with being capable of “any tag nay
thing near the vh.se of n canvass,’ and the denun
ciatory spirit and ungenerous tone which charac
terize the letter. We desigu now to speak efita
salutary effect in the coming Alabama election.
It is known that Mr. llill is a strong Union man.
having first left the democratic foM in 1860, and
fought under the Union banner in that dark pe
uod of Southern submission and wrong. In 1860
when Fillmore Elector in this State, he addressed
a letter to the Columbus Knquirer, in which he
said, “American* ! the battle for the f’*ion it udth
‘/*♦ /” Thus attending to erevh the Southern
-pint and chivalry rising in the hearts <<f true freo
men throughout the State, and make oppression
and inequality tolerable. Still later, only a tew
weeks since, the opposition party nt his owe home,
passed resolutions extremely .Vu (#*<*/ in lone
and sentiment. They were Milling to unite with
“n!i men North, Houth, East and West,” in the
organ I*.i tion of um party. They unequivocal
ly sai l the Itemocrativ parly was “too teH tonal,”
and wanted n national party to rise on its ruins
This will give our Alabama readers tin idea of
the antecedent:, of Mr. Hill, who thus comes at
this late hour to the rescue of Mr. Judge. Will
the endorsement of Mr. Hill help the opposition
candidate in the 84 District? Air. llill is for
Union and a party of the odds and ends of every \
political organization to deleat tho Democracy. I
Mr. Judge is* no Union man, and is opposed to j
uniting the Americans South with the elements j
of the Opposition faction North. Mr. Hill says
that the Democracy are “too tectiontU Mr j
Judge that it is too national. Mr. Hill defends !
Crittenden and Hell, fkcallies of Douglas: Mr.
Judge denounces them. Thus stands these great
chain pious of Opposition principle*! If Mr.
Hill ean *upport Mr. Jndge, with all hia Union
loving proclivities, it is time that the States j
Rights meu of the d.l District were beginning to j
inquire into the causes of such affinity. This j
letter of Mr. Hill may prove as disastrous to Mr. j
Judge at this particular juncture of his canvas*,as ■
wero tho political sentiment of Johu Mimor
Betts to the election of his friend, Mr. Hog
gin,. to the Hibernal,trial Chair of Virginia. I
They smell of Uuiou! Besides, Mr. Hill,
who is so clever personally aud worthy of imita
tion in all the private relations of life, ought to j
have a little moru Christian lorboarancc, tuid not :
abuse the Democratic party so harshly. It only’
heaps upon hi-head v ials of wrath, and keep* in •
stoic for liirff/piejttdicf, which one duy he may
have to encounter. But above all. he should not j
Wound hi-friend- by the impolicy of his own acts.
We believe Mr. Judge will receive no aid from a
letter, wh*e author differs so widely with the
Southern Bights men of Alabama, as to the puli- I
cy and coarse for the South to pursue !

ti) the Austrians wen- Defeated
Why did the Auxtrians loose the great battle?
Why have they lost every battle that has been
fought iu this war? It is not that they are less
, brave than the French. Iu this very engage
ment, according to the official accounts of each
army, the Austrians killed and wounded 12,00 b
1 Freuchiueu, with a loss to tbeiusulvos of but
I 0,000 killed aud wounded. There could have
t been no tlight when the numbers Mend thus at
the cud of tho day. Nor are the Austrians in
i ferior as marksmen. Their riflemen hit 720
French officers, whereof one hundred and twenty
i were shot dead,while the French succeeded in kill
ing and wounding only two hundred and thirty of
the Austrian officers. They certainly arc not in
ferior to the French in discipline. Their tit iner
; tim is magnificent, ami they retreat invariably
i with u bold, steady front to the foe. Why is it,
then, that they who enu loose valiantly con
never win? Bccuuso, unfortunately for them,
I present knowledge is present power, and their
( knowledge is uot of the present, but of the past,
j They area stagnating respectability. They are
j governed und directed by old rules, old men und
I old routine. They have nn enemy who does not
j care a centime for antiquity, and is uot above ta
j king the most irregular methods to win a victory,
j The Emperor of Austria made up his mind to do’
. a remarkably line piece ul Louis Quartorze strut -
, egy. He executes an elaborate piece of old sash
; toned deception, crossing the Miticio with his
j whole force, and then rccrossiug it, with his
, 20,0000 men, aud fixing his contemplated eur
j prise of the enemy at 0 o’clock in tho morning.
J The Emperor of the French, representing theju
enile irregular school, refuses to he surpris
! and. Having recourse to a new-fnngled expo
; dient which no trustworthy veteran who can
: count his eevonty years would condescend to use,
he Rends up utnan in a balloon: and, ut tbo ex
pense of a few yards of Bilk and a few square feet
of gas, is told the exact position of all those
masses which are drawn up so scientifically out
i of his sight, with the intention of surpriniug him
at the comfortable, leiiuroly hour of nine A. M.
The man of his time—the clever, active, shrewd
: nothing contemning adventurer of the nineteenth
century —ly dint of this small contrivance, bo
j conies master of the poritioii, lie knows what is
going to happen and where his enemy is, and how
, many he is ; and while the heavy, self-cotupln
cent Austrian is chuckling at tho terraul surprise
I that U to come off at 9 A. M., bo attacks, at day
break, chooses his own time and point of at
tack. and remains master of the field. So again,
tho Austrians coming by very respectable means,
j iu no respect sullied by any inventiveness or
; breach of precedent, iuto possession of a li no bo
j dy of sharp shooters, dealt tremendous disaster
against the French. The French opposed arti
ficial to tho Austrian natural advantage, but not
so as to equalize the two armies in the rifle. •
There vvu,i another point however, in which the
two nations were equal. The Austrian Moun
taineers do not use cannon in their Sunday games.
Hero France went ahead, and Austria marched
’ *.i pa*. The consequences have been obvious
! enough. The battle of Solterino hu been won
jby the superiority of tho French artillery. The
; -hells from tho French rifled -nunon fell at dis
! t-tnee* whence the old guns could not reply. Kve
jry reader can work out the result Tho enemy's
artillery was silenced before it could come within
effective distance. M&u'h thews und flesh are
to-day as they were it thousand years ago, but
and ('•miago, and standing still in squares, ami
coining forward in lines, ia of no use if there is
an engine two miles off which will mow down
your linen and reap a death harvest in your
squares before you can reach your living enemy.
All that is left in such a case to it gentleman of
(he old school is to die with dignity and constan
cy, scorning, if he should s<> pfan.se, with his Inst
breath, the foe thnt seeks victory hy such plebeian
j and irregular mentis.

T<> the Editor* of the Loniarille Journal:
Lot isvii.li:, July Ist, 186®.
Oysrt.KMKN: -Ifind there is on idea gaining
ground by its repented publication that my de
clension of the candidacy for Congress iu this
District, resulted from a feeling of dissatisfaction
ua my part with what is known us the interven
tion joinciplr, asserted by you and the Opposi
tion candidates generally. 1 wish to pay through
your pu|*er that this idea is erroneous, und that
my course has not been dictated at all Ly the
motives attributed tome. My view is this. The
territorial government is the creature of Congress
has just tho capacity, and no more, that Con
gress chooses to give it, aud Congress cannot
impart to it a power Congress does not itself pos
ies*.
If the slaveholder has the right to carry his
slave into a Territory aud ban the right to hold
him there as a slavo (and the Dred Scott decis
ion says he has this right, and 1 believe it,) then
my opinion is, that tho Territorial Legislature can
neither abrogate or annul or impair this right by
its legislation, and l said in a speech made in
Congress last winter, and mow I repeat, that, if
the territorial Legislature should pass a law with
such on object or effect, I think it would be the
duty of Congress to draw the Congressional pen
through the law and send it back to the Territory
a* a usurpation Congrttt hat ahrnyratid. I would
not wait for the law to be pronounced uneonsti
tutionalby the Supremo Court of the I'nited
States, but 1 would act upon it at once in Con
great, it f could Induce Congress to do Its duty In
n thin regard.
I have no doubt of the power of Congress, to
provide remedios for the redress of all the griev
ances a inau can suffer in the Territories in the
enjoyment of his rights and his property, for
though Congress may delegate to the Territorial
i people the power of legislation and give to thorn
legislative, executive, and judicial departments
of a territorial government, still Congress docs by
this only perform Its own duties with m"re con
venience, for the responsibility of Congress to the
! States and people, that thia creature of its making
shall act properly, constantly continues and eari
noj lie shaken off, until the Territory becomes a
State, and thereby “acquires the mourn of self
fovernroent.” (Seethe language in American
ns. Cos., vs. Canter, Peter’s report.)
Asa practical Statesman, In tho present con
dition of public sentiment as to slavery, Ac., 1
I would say that the South hue the deepest inter
j cat in tranquilizing tho public mind on the whole
•erics of questions connected with slavery, and
1 therefore I would sy that we will wait for the
occasion which shall prove by the judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction, that the reme
dy is wanting t*> ensure the practical enjoymeut
of the slaveholder’s rights In the Territories, hut
whenever that fact appears, / would apply lo
(imgnst, if necessary to afford that remedy, and
1 would agitate it sessiou after seaaiou,
and Congress after Congress, until I obtain
ed my rights, and until l could embody the pop
ular sentiment to do the Southern Deople justice
under the Constitution.
These have been and remain my opinions, and
I am not willing that there should exist any mis
apprehension abut them, for still, now os iu 166tJ,
1 would not “give the toss of a copper” between
Black Republicanism and that Houater Hover
1 eign idea which accords to me a right, yet claims
’ the countervailing right to deprive me of the eu
; joymeut of all that which is my own.

The Knd of the War- Fracc Declared.
It ian matter of congratulation with thefriouds
of peace throughout the world, that the bloody
scenes, which have been enacted upon the Jrania
of Europe for tunny week *, te now closed forever
from viaw. Tho dogs of war are now chained,
aud Austria ia no longer an enemy to Sardinia
and France. More than u hundred thousand
soldiers have been laid in their graves, and tho
horrors of war aro now forgotten lu thejoyous im
pulses of peace. Tho terms of the treaty were
published yesterday. From which it was soen
thnt Austria no longer persists in her unjust de
mands, that Lombardy shall be under the control
of her own people. She was stubborn for a long
time, nnd only gave up her inclination to rule in
Sardinia at the point of tho sword, and after a
terrible conflict in which the prestige of her arms
has bean destroyed and her national pride woun
ded to the quick. She has been defeated on every
battle field; driven back from every post, and
while offering a formidable resistance to her eue
rules.the result of every engagement has shown her
inability to cope with her adversaries. Exhaus -
ted and weakened, her treasury empty, her sol
dier.-* distrustful of their Generals, Hungary in
revolt, Austria has relinquished all her hold up
on Lombardy. Sho has emphatically yielded,
and inglorUiiiflly submitted to the demands of her
allies. So it should have been. The indepen
dence ..f Sardinia from forcigu dominion was a
consummation devoutly wished for hy the friends
of freedom throughout the civilized .world. Na
poleon comes out of tho war with all tho honors
of a conqueror. Within six weeks from tho tir
ing of the first shot at Montebello, peace has
been declared. Italy responded with enthusiasm
to hia call—his own troops excelled thnmselvos—
France was quiet as in times of Josephine or
Marie Louise the people boro with pationoo the
burdon of war und now, the Kuiperov returns to

Tho nows of peace i hailed with deinunstra •

An Important ( ontrlbutlon to PolltOEl History
The South Carolinian, published at Columbia,
tfoutain.s a long aud elaborate communication
from the Uou. F W Pickens, our present minis

connected with the political history of this coun

Louis Napoleon and Kobsutil —The Lon
dou correspondent of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, writing to that journal, under dato of
July Bth, says
A revelation has been made to-day which has
excited great interest, and would have caused a
great increuse of apprehension but for (ho news
of the armistice. It consists of a full detail of an
agreement entered into by the Kiuperor Napole
on with M. Kossuth for exciting an insurrection
in Hungary.
From these it appears that tho Kmperor wanted
at first to make use of him without giving guar
antecs to do auytbing in return. But Kossuth
was too wise to fail into the trap, and when fold
that if he refused to move, steps would be taken
to revolutionise Hungary without his aid, he
promptly ansewered that ho would instantly ad
dress a manifesto to bis countrymen, warning
them not to trust the Emperor's assurances.
This soon brought matters to a crisis. The Em
peror sent for him to Paris, and there agreed for
mally to u serici. of conditions.
Coupled with these thing* we have a statement
that Russia is marching 80,000 men against Khi
va. with tho connivance and approbation of Per
sia. Considering that she has lately professed to
desire only opportunities for cultivating social
progress and restoring her finances, the selection
of this moment for such measure is extremely
significant. If she can spare an army for the
German frontier, and 80,000 men for an approach
to our Indian territories, she must be in a singu
lar state of preparedness for vigorous self a*ber
tlon.
Evidence that intrigues have been ripened In
Turkoy is also furnished every day, and the last
announcement is that the Nultan had resolved,
for reasons of State, to pay a visit to his Egyp

The t an> as* In Alabama.
The election in Alabama for Governor and
Members of Congress, takes place Monday. There
is little excitement, except in the 3d Congression
al District, where tho vote.it is supposed, will bo
close betweon Mr. Clopton, the Democratic Can
didate, and Mr. Judge, the Opposition Candidate.
Two yours since the latter was defeated hy Mr.
Dowdell, only hy 97 majority. Hence, thoro is a
deal of speculation ns to the result of tlie present
can vans. Both candidates have measured anus
with each oilier on every stump in the District,
and llioir friend* arc satisfied with their labors.-
If there are no changes -luce the race of Mr.
Dowdell, Mr. Clopton will carry the Dbdriet by
small majority. .There has been ohuugee, how
ever, which may be put down to the count of Mr.
Clopton. Mr. Judgo oau only rely upon Mont
gomecy and Macon counties, which, it is believed,
will not give more than 160 majority each. This
is a liberal calculation. Especially for tho county
of Macon, the home of Mr. Clopton. In tho oili
er counties, via: Autauga, Tallapoosa, Chambers
and Russell, Clopton'* majority will bo between
460 nnd 600. This is a democratic calculation at
the lowest figures. We shall await patiently the
result, sanguine that the Democrats will do their
duty, and work as the Enquirer says, “like bea
vers.” This they will do, as the opposition are
not leaving a stone unturned to carry theelection,
mid ureeven betting freely upon the result. The
democrats must not ho overcome, like Pompey,
from an excess of confidence. They must rcmem
her the small majority of Mr. Dowdell, und resolve {
that the gallant “little Davy,” who has borne
himself Bo t woll in this contest,who sacrificed every •
selfish consideration upon tho altar of patriotism .
und duty, niul lc elected.
* RefUset the frown.”
There is un amount of modusty in the opposi
tion rank* that in truly praiseworthy. Their
leaders have no auibitiou to hold office uud actu
ally refute to be candidates for Governor, when
the nomination is tendered them. Hon. Benjamin
11. Hill, of Troup, is the only ‘•true blue” among
the luudera, ami his party friends are looking
again to him. Wo protest against such an im
position on Mr. Hill’s good nature. ll has been
sacrificed already for the go<>d of his party and
ought not to be forced into a canvass for the
mere honor of a deftut. The Southern li reorder
speaking of the Opposition Convention, says :
“It will be perceived, however, that tho Con
vent ion made no nomination for Governor. A
nomination was tendered to several gentlemeu
who wore present, hut refuted ; also tho names of
gentlemen not in tho Convention were mentioned
as suitable candidates, but their friends in Con
vention spoke for them, refusing the honor.”
“M> Darling Nelly (.ray “
Wo fully concur with our neighbor of the Spirit \
of the South, wn tho deleterious influence of negro !
melodies, such ns the above, on tho institutions of j
tho South. Tho spirit breathed forth in these
songs, is more stealthy and dangerous to shivery j
than the most high-handed and violent assaults
of the open abolitionist. Like (lie subtlety of the
serpent that tempted Eve, tho bud influence of
those melodies is gradually stealing over the
sunuoN of tho Southern people, and steadily throw -
ing around them a spell more dangerous than wu
are wont to imagine. Let Southerners beware of
this abolition music. We are nursing a viper

uud uu*ti**’ *-."• ,
encourage abolition literature, yet under the
em.Ql | rwy; iiai v| „„ ir-mwrirwir rin t.iitn-gwiiix'iJt
to a more destructive foe.
This is the nuiuu of quite a popular song we
have soen floating in society. Someone has re
rnarkod, that he cared not who made tho law sos
a uation, if ho might be permitted to make its
songs; intimating that the popular songs of a
people, are “n power behind the throne, greater
than the throne.” In other words, that they are
inoro potent to mould and direct popular feeling
and sentiment, than laws and law givers. There
is unquestionably much truth in the reflection. —i
A vest deal of infidelity, scepticism, heresy, and ;
pseudo-philanthropy, which poisons and so wo- !
fully mars society, is imbibed through u nation’s I
minstrels.
In “My Durling Nelly Gray,” we have a nice
ly -uigur pill of pure abolitionism. It runs thus:
“On# night 1 went to see her, hut “she’s gone”
the neighbors say,
The white man bound her with his chain;
They have taken her to Georgia for to wear hor
life uway,
As she toils in the cotton and tho cane ”
While the meter is uot captivating the scutiment
is decidedly odious. Indeed it smacks of what
might be considered libelous upon the charaotor
of Georgians.
Tho result of the monstrous tale “the neigh
bors” told the sentimental wretch, is seen in the j
next verse;
“My canoe is under water, nnd my banjo is un
strung.
I’m tired of living any more.
My eyes shall look downwards and my song shall
he unsung.
While I stay on the old Kentuck shore.”
To relieve such sentiuieutal vagabonds, lYom
their “ttndluin vUsk,” wo recommend their trans
portation te Georgia, to toil like “Nelly Gray”
“in the cotton and the cane.”
“My Darling Nelly Gray” may be a very pret
ty and very sweet one, but we submit, she does
not grace or benefit Southern society; except
where the Georgians placed her. —Spirit of the
South.
Tho Richmond Enquirer says that during the
hot weather the ludies of that city do all their
shopping in carriages, and require the dry goods
clerks and salesmen to exhibit their goods at the
carriage doors, thereby saving to themselves the
exertion of alighting and entering the stores. It
pronounces this conduct of the ladies, barbarous.
(ippodtlon Parly
The Opposition or Know Nothing party of the
State Is very much in the condition of the mili
tia company that was told by its captain, after a
very unsatisfactory drill, “you are dismissed, dis
charged and disgraced”- with this little, but not
unimportant difference, that the Opposition party
has not. yot elected their captain, nor have they
been able to find any person that will accept
such a position as captain of their awkward squad.
The evident conclusion is, they have no honors
to confer—no profits to guarantee— and their on
ly trust is “trust In luck.”
As to platforms of principles, they uro ready
to subscribe (•> the most elaborate mosaic political
patchwork that uuu bo constructed ;t>e all thingMo
all men, and all creeds and parties—and iu favor
of everything and opposed to nothing, and op
posed to everything and in favor of nothing—
and yet for all their plastic qualities, ropellnnt
attributes, and “winning ways,” like the country
lady who first donned her yellow ribbons aud
blue parasol to “catch a beau,” and found herself
more laughed at and .pitied than admired, the
Opposition party have invited ridicule where they
solicited admiration, and are now a mere thing
forßCorn to point its finger at.— Comtituttonalitt.

Atn recent meeting of the Cotton Planters’

by the House of Representatives, ho sub
mitted !. report, in which he placed tho averngo
value ol the annual cotton crop of the Foiled

. sum titm,tutu as the value of the cotton crop
produced in other countries—thus stating the
i-.tiil production of the world at MJJ,OOO,OOO.
Supposing thst of the product thus raised in

j But the manufacturing countries which receive
I this cotton turn it into textile fabrics which ac
quire a greatly enhanced value above the cost of
the raw mate! i it. This increased value ismode
ratcly estimated by the committee ut six times

: mauufar:ured cotton is not needed for home con-
Huuiption, and, u.-cording to the best tublcs that
