At the Congress of Paris in 135G the Sardinian plen ipotentiaries. the Count de Cavour and the Marquis de VilJamarinn, submitted a memo rial to tbe assembled representatives of the Great Powers, in which they set forth, with precision and truthfulness, the evils under which Italy was suffering from foreign despot ism, ecclesiastical thraldom, and the tyranny of domestic rulers. Tbe oppressive nature of Austrian domination in the Austro-Italian States, and of the Austrian military occupa tion of the States of the cbnrcb, and the Du chies of Tuscany, Parma, and Modena; the deplorable condition of the Papal dominions the galling tyranny of tho Papal rule; the in capacity of the priesthood to administer the government, and the fact that by foreign mil itary repression alone does the successor of St. Peter maintain himself on his temporal throne, the excesses and atrocities of the King of Naples; and the deep-rooted hatred of the entire Italian population against their foreign and domestic oppressors, were severely dwelt on, and detailed with a truthful severity which might well'have arrested the attention and earnest consideration of the governments of Europe. These distinguished Sardinian states men exposed, at the same time, tlie immedi ate danger which threatened their own coun try from the irreconcilable antagonism that existed betwen the constitutional and parlia mentary freedom of Sardinia and the military despotism, religious tyranny, crushing taxa tion, and wasting conscription of Austria, and they asked tbe Great Powers of Europe, in tbe interests of peace, civilization, and human progress, to insist on the adoption of some re forms by which a certain measure of justice and good government should be granted to the Italian people, which would enable them peaceably to work out their own regeneration, and obtain that moderate amount of social and political liberty for which they had so long whyed in vain. Whether it was that the European powers considered the subject one which involved dif ficulties too great for diplomacy to surmount, or that they did not acknowledge the accuracy of the Sardinian memorial or admit the jnatico of its prayer, nothing was done, and tbo evils of which Count de Cavour complained in I85G exist to-day, not only untodressed or unmiti gated, bnt embittered and intensified bv time. The Italian despots havo increased raihor than diminished the pressure of their government, and the number of their soldiers and their spies is now greater than at any former period. As might be expected, Sardinia was, and is, the especial object of their detestation. They see there tho establishment of a government based on constitutional liberty and. represen tative institutions working with equal benefit to the ruler and tbe ruled. They see there that tbe spiritual despotism of the priest has been broken down, and that the people, un like their own discontented, disaffected sub jects, are contented, loyal, prosperous, enlight ened, and happy. The contrast between free Sardinia and their own dominions is painful to them, not only because it serves to rally the entire Italian population round Sardinia, as tno champion of Italian independence, but because it affords to the world the most con vincing refutation of the assumption that the Italians arc unfit for freedom. The fact that tbe Sardinians have planted the flag of liberty on the soil which has been during long years devoted to despotism, and that tlie oppressed and the outraged of their kindred have rallied round that standard as tbe sign by which they hope to conquer independence, is sufficient cause to make Austrian statesmen denounce Sardinia ns the enemy of social order, and de clare that her free institutions are destructive of her safety and tranquility. Constitutional bo other than tbe embodiment of political snd religious heresies to despotic, military Aus tria ; aud thus the freedom of the former is incompatible with the “paternal government" which the latter exercises directly at Milan, and indirectly at Florence, Rome, and Naples. The coufiict betwen tbe two systems is dead ly, and hence the collision which we fear has already taken place, ami from which such in calculable disasters will result to Europe. Whether Sardinia has acted rashly and in discreetly, or been actuated by ambitious and selfish motives, in precipitating the battle; whether France, for sinister and interested purposes, has encouraged the dissension and a lined the flame of discord; and whether Aus tria was or was not justified by strict law and the dictates of self-preservation ip availing lierself of tbe advantages of her position, and declaring war at once, when she found that the conflict was inevitable, arc questions which we propose to discuss at an early day. 1\e have confined ourselves iu this article to an exposition of tho grounds of quarrel between Auetria and Sardinia. To a matter which so deeply affects tbo interests of Europe the peo ple of the United States cannot be indifferent. Washington Constitution, 7th. MACON, MAY 17, 1859. Volume SXXIII.—No. 34. Cwil il Room, Baldwin Blces. ■ ) Saturday Evening, May 7, JS59,.£ At a regular meeting of tbe Baldwin Bines at their Coinpany Room, Capt. Doles in the Chair, and a lull attendance, On motion, a Committee was appointed to draft suitable resolutions touching the Military Encampment just terminated at Camp Ogle thorpe. The CoJimittee, consisting of Lieutenants Haas, Kenan and Briscoe, Ensign McComb, Sergeant Carakcr, Corporal Conn, and Private Moore reported the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted: The Baldwin Blues having just returned from the Military Encampment near Macon, realize it Dot only as a duty but a pleasure, to give some public expression to the feelings which animate their bosoms on a review of their late sojourn at Camp Oglethorpe. It is not tbe formality of idle words, but the pure out gushings of earnest aud grateful hearts which they place on record, in saying that never were the sources of enjoyment more complete; or the pleasures of such a meeting less disturb ed by unhappy incidents. From tbe time of their reception to their departure, kindness and hospitality met them at every step, and flowed in upon them from every side. Not only their wants but their simplest desires sepm to have been anticipated and provided for. Therefore, Resolved, That our obligations to tbe Floyd Rifles, whose special guests we were, are deep and inexpressible. To the kind invitation of that gallant corps, are we indebted for the privileges and pleasures of the late encampment, whilst tbe vigilant and cheerful attention of all its members relieved us from every care or want. Its officers are not only accomplished soldiers, bnt nature’s noblemen in all respects, and the privates are fnlly worthy of such commanders. Long may it wave! Resolved, That the hearty and active co operation of the “Macon Volunteers” and ‘Bibb Cavalry” in contributing to the enjoy ment of each one of our Company—their pro fuse and generous hospitalities—their courte ous deportment, and gallant bearing on all occasions entitle them to our admiration and gratitude. May their ranks never be less and always filled as worthily as now. Resolved, That in the “Montgomery True Blues” of Alabama, we found a band of chiv alrous and accomplished gentlemen, proficient alike in Military science and tho civilities of social life. The intelligence that three of its most estimable members were accidentally in jured on tbe last day of the encampment thrill ed our bosoms with sorrow, but ere ibis, we hope the period of danger, if any, has elapsed, and that each and all may long live to adorn the profession of arms, and rejoice in the ap pellation of “True Blues.’’ Resolved, That to the citizens of Macon generally, whose polite attentions and unre mitting care contributed as much to our com fort and enjoyment, we return the homage of grateful hearts. Especially, we might name tbe honorable Mayor of the City, O. G. Sparks, Col. J. II. R. Washington, the Messrs. Par ker, I-ittle Mac, Mr. Newcomb of the •‘Geor gia,’’ Frank Bloom, George M. Logan, of the “Lanier House,” John Cumming the worthy Marshall of the City, and Mr. Gatewood, who, with many others gave us substantial proofs of their regard and generosity. Resolved, *That to the fair daughters and noble matrons of Macon, we are much indebt ed, the former illuminating our pathway with their smiles, and the latter sustaining us with their creature comforts. To Mrs. Charles Collins, Mrs. Woodruff, and Mrs. M. E. S. we tender our sincere acknowledgements for bouquet’s most tastefully arranged from tbo rarest and most beautiful flowers. Resolved, That our thanks are tendered, in an especial manner, tc Mrs. Qeorgc W. Ross, —the wreath and star—; the former decked with choicest flowers, and surrounding. the latter, on which is most tastefnHy inscribed tbo name of our Company, and all surmoun ted with a beautiful bouquet. Prepared and transmitted by fairy hands, it shall be cher ished with soldier, pride, the fit and insepara ble companion of the colors which we bear. * Resolved, That our thanks are due aud hereby tendered to tiie Officers of tbe Central Rail Road, for tbe reduction in fair, as well as tbe facilities afforded us, in going to and coming from the place of encampment. Resolved, That wc are under many oblig* tions to tbe Press of Macon, fc* providing us with copies of th<>^ respective papers, during our *<journ in their midst Resolved, That the proccedingsof this meet- ipg ho published in the federal Union and Southern Recorder of this City, and that the papers in Macon be requested to copy. 1 CHAS.

That in our recent encamp ment (in connection with the Macon Volun teers,) with the Baldwin Blues and the Mont gomery True Blues, we have enjoyed a season of privilege—we have had tho benefit of asso ciation with those who are not only skilled, but tcell skilled in the military art, and have had the pleasure of greeting as guests those whose gentlemanly deportment and generous impulses have awakened, not alone our admi ration and high esteem, but have engendered friendly tics which memory will love to clier ish, and which time can never sunder. Sid. That we gratefully acknowledge the courtesies extended to us by our brethren iu arms—the Bibb Cavalry and Macon Volun teers. Their kind attentions to this corps have added another link to the chain which binds us as friends and fellow soldiers. The festivi ties they prepared were scarcely surpassed by tbo splendid entertainment furnished by the Montgomery True Blues on the day of the encampment, and which did honor to the whole-souled hospitality of those noble sons of Alabama. 3d. That our more immediate guests—the Baldwin Blues—have, in their return to their homes, our best wishes for their success and happiness. May they long live to be an orna ment and protection to the capital of our be loved State. We shall ever remember with emotions of pleasure that it was our privilege to extend them tbe right band of a soldier’s welcome. 4tb. That tbo Ladies of Macon have done no more than we expected. Observation and ex perience have long since taught us that they constitute tbe most important element of at* tractiveness of which our city can boast. Wc cannot, however, forbear expressing our high appreciation of the sumptuous banquet provi ded by them during the encampment in honor to the guests^ of the Volunteers and of this Company. Nor would we do justice to our- sdves, did we fail to mention in this connec tion, the untiring attentions and courtesies of the Committee who superintended the arrange ments of the evening, Messrs. If. A. Wing- field, A. A. Roff, and R. C. Grier. The “La dies’ Pic Nic’’ will long he remembered as one of.the most successful entortainments of the ktnfl cvcr provii led in our city. Council of Macon deserves our thanks, and wtii receive tne approbation of those they re present _ Oth. That our acknowledgments arc espe cially due the worthy Mayor of our city, Hen. O. G. Sparks, for his many acts of kindness to ourselves and our guests. IJis noble generos ity wjll long be remembered. _ 7th. That whilst numbers of our fellow-ci tizens did much to render the sojourn of our guests pleasant and agreeable, we feel it to be but an act of justice to say that wc are much innebtod to our friend. F. S. Bloom, for ma ny attentions which this corps cannot fail to appreciate. 8th. That the Montgomery, Milledgeville and Macon papers copy the same. W. M. RILEY, Sec’y. C. B.

Upon one occasion a witty lawyer by the name or Talcot was his opponent, and the latter wish ing to show to the J ury how strongly tbe rival case was fortified, made use of a phrase which he presumed would come home to their feelings. “Not only,” said he, “have my client’s rights been thus invaded, but also, in order to sustain that inroad, you find arrayed against him tbe best talent in the country—I may say, the right bower of the profession! “What does the gentleman on the opposite side mean by the ‘right’ bower ?” said Mr. F., who bad never played a game of euchre in his life. “Why,” said Talcot, with a sly wink at the Jury, “I thought everybody knew what that meant—the biggest knavo in the pack 1”— : (ho ller.

Tbe Blues were presented with a rich silver set by the Floyd Rifles, to be shot for by them, which was won by private Worsham, also a leather medal which was won by our npighbor of tbe Federal Union—private N>shet. \Ve will here digress Uy sayilig that we were not surprised at our neighbor’s bad shooting, if some of his editorials are specimens of politi cal raarkmanship. A portion of tbo lady cit izens of Maoon presented tlie Blues with an elegant wreath of flowers, surrounding a star, with the name of the company upon it. Tho Blues have drawn up a set of resolu tions expressive of their regard and thanks for the kind hospitality extended. ■ See resolutions in another column, Rceonler. A Dog in the Pulpit. Nothing in the way of a practical joko lias amused u.-i so much for a long time as a dog notice that was given at the Orthodox Church in Lancaster last Sunday. It may do well as a burlesque on advertising all things from tbe pulpit. A notice was sent to the sexton— doubtless vBh tho intention of having it posted on llie ineeting-housc—which by some mistake he was led to pass over to the minister. Tbe officiatiug clergyman was a stranger, and when be came to read this notice be hesitated some what ; but, after a preface to the effect that, being a stranger, be did not feel at liberty to decline reading what was given him, let ou t as follows : “All owners of dogs are hereby noti fied “that if tbe same are not registered, by the 1st of May, “they will be killed according to !svr.'.’ The effect on tho congregation can be imagined.
