The Wisconsin Democratic Convention lias nominated Charles Flanderson for Governor.— The resolutions oppose negro suffrage. The Radicals in Congress, true to their in stincts. have begun to laud Juarez and rejoice over tlic murder of Maximilian. The expedition which left San Francisco some months since, to search fur the newly discovered island iu the Pacific, Las returned unsuccessful. It is believed, however, that the is 1 and lies in the vicinity visited, as a track ol' discolored water and birds were seen.

Grant will refuse* ' bis-name for thy Presidency if the '^i'skfc in riiu»!ng one of their avow themselves advocates of the long since exploded philosphy that it is right to do evil that good may come. In the first, place no man knows that we will never receive better terms, for we doubt whether Congress can ever offer worse. Surely these good citizens of the South have never reflected upon the conse quences that will inevitably follow the eccep. tanee of the Sherman bill. A conflict of races must swiftly toiiow, with ail its concomitant evils. We have not space to enlarge. The answer to this question is very important just here: Will Congress admit Southern Represen tatives, even though their States get down in the dust and eat Hie dirt et the behest of their oppressors? Nay. Did not the liump refuse to admit the Representatives from Kentucky, although they possessed every legal and consti tutional qualification? If the concern would thus act towards Kentucky would it not act likewise towards Georgia? Why not? The controlling reason for refusing admission to the Kentucky Representatives was, those gen tlemen were not Radicals. Unless, then, Geor gia should send men who would misrepresent her people and interest, she need not expect treatment different from that extended to Ken tucky. All that the citizens of this noble State can hope to receive, for a huge amount of dirt-eating, is the poor privilege of having her Representatives ejected from the halls of Con gress, or of sending such men as we know will be representatives only in name, but rms-repre sentatives in fact. The question is then asked, What should the Southern States do? YCe answer, reject the poisoned cup, stand by their rights under the Constitution, and trust.to a returning sense of justice in the North. We are positively in formed that the hope of such is vain. We ask, how do you know ? But concede the North is permanently mad, and reason forever dethroned, still a rejection of the (Sherman bill w:ii not harm us; for a compliance with the I’emands oi the enraged lunatic gives no secu rity against the threatened blow. But we are at a loss to know how we can accept the infamous terms. I ho voter is required to swear to sup port the Constitution of the United States, and how. then, can he vote for a measure that vio lates a dozen or more of its provisions ? More over. by that bill, in many instances, the South ern soldier is required to disfranchise his trusted leader — the voter his chosen official — the neighbor his fellow-citizen, and the sen his honored father. Tell us that a measure abound ing in such iniquitous aud unnatural demands merits our acceptance. No, no—justice, hu manity. and common sense repels the verv thought.

It is stated the State Department lias a scien tific agent exploring Greenland with a view to its purchase. Russia has a Siberia to which she exiles troublesome characters, and why may not America have a Greenland for the same purpose. Juarez’s probable programme is—crush the church party—expel foreigners, arid then de stroy all natives except the pun- Aztics, to which race he belongs. Mr. Raymond says he never offered for the Austrian Mission, and would not accept it if conferred. The great African Missionary, Dr. Living stone. is said to be alive, and the report of his murder false. Hrownlow has disfranchised the Conservative county of Blount. This is his 19th county.

Fort Brown, on the east bank of the Rio Grande, was invested by the Mexican forces. Its immediate surren der was demanded, with a threat of severe treat ment in case of refusal. It was then subjected to a bombardment of one hundred and sixty consecutive hours, in the course of wliich Maj". Brown, its commander, was killed, but it held out until relieved by Gen. Taylor. Among the defenders of the fort was Capt Braxton Bragg, of the U. S. Artillery. Among ; the deserters was a negro servant of Capt. Bragg, ; who made his escape to the Mexican lines! — j This man was captured, some fifteen or sixteen : months afterward, by the American troops, j when thei toon, possession of tlie citv of Mex- | G 3 -, Iic tl ] en stated that he had been made a j lieutenant in the Mexican service—a statement ■ no ^ credited by our informant, though it was believed that he had really been in the service of the Mexicans, either as soldier, camp-fol lower. or something of that sort. Such is the account of the affair given us by very good authority, it may be inaccurate or defective in some particulars, but we have rea son to believe it substantially correct. The matter is a small one—not worth mentioning, except as an illustration ot the singular incon sistencies and. absurdities in which Radical leg islation has involved us.
