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 ! fteni.M iuUt Ftwiitlvr CutnmUti c The Democratic Executive C<>mmiitt far the Second Congressional District, appointed by the rTCfi’K,,, „r ,u i,-—rntimninn, is n* follows: James M ItuMcdl, ofMoscogce County.

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.

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.

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 France, the great liviug Captain of the age.

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 ter! o Russia, on several very important subjects connected with the political history of this coun try. It was written from St. Petersburg, and is designed to be a vindication of Mr. Calhoun aud President Polk, from certain allegations contain ed in Col. Bouton's “Thirty Yours iu the I nited States Senate,” relating to the Annexation of Tex as, the tariff, the visit of Mr. Pickens to Mr. Polk, the dismissal of Messrs. Blair uml Rives from the “Government organ,” and many other matters of interest. Tho publication of this re markable “refutation” would have been made ut au earlier period, but for tho death of Col. Ben ton in the spring of 1868. As Mr. Pickens was the original, and now sole depository of the facts upon which Col. Benton's representations are al leged to have been founded, he deems it proper at this time to make public a full and true state inent of everything that transpired iu the visit al luded to in Col.

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 tian dependency. < 01. t orhran Withdraws.

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.

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.

(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.

L'ompured with such u mass of onuibutunK some of the most celebrated battles of the century appear like skirmishes in point of numbers. Thus at the famous battle of Marengo, the French force was 32,000 and the Austriun 10,000. At AuhtorlUs, the French uuiu bored 70,000, while the Russians and Austrians had 90,00 U—altogether being but ten thousand more than the Austrian strength alone at Molferi no.
