INTERVIEW BETWEEN TIIE I’KBal-
DIS1VT AND TIIE DELEGATION FROM
VIRGINIA.
Washington, Feb. 10.—This afternoon a
core mittcc from the Senate and House of Del
egacies of the State of Virginia, callfld upon
President Johnson for the purpose of present
ing him with the Resolutions adopted by the
General Assembly of Virginia. The follow
ing named gentlemen constituted tbo commit
tee iTOin the Senate: Messrs. E. Keen, A. 8.
Gray, and Dale Carter. The following rejv
resented the House of Delegates: Messrs. J,
B. I laid win, James Marshall, A. R. Grntton
A. G. Pendleton, and W. T. Jones. They are
gentlemen of aclcnowlcdged ability, and it is
clnimcd that they fully represent the State go
ogrnphicaily and politically, being from the
North, South, East and West Virginia, and
every shade of past and present politics.—
James Marshall, a venerable looking gentle
man, is a nephew of the celebrated Chief Jus
tice Marshall. Messrs. Marshall, Gratton and
Judge Jaynes arc the ablest lawyers of the
State. Mr. Baldwin, Speaker of the House
of Delegates, ns Chairman of the Committee,
presented the Resolutions and delivered the
following address in behalf of the Committee:
Mr. President: We arc a committee of Sen
ators and Delegates sent to present you, in
person, certain resolutions which have re
ceived the unanimons approval of the Gener
al Assembly of Virginia.
Wc come as representatives sent by one of
tlic States in tlic Union, to confer witlx onr
Constitutional President in regard to mat
ters affecting the common Government, and,
therefore, of interest to all the States and all
tho people. We come to you, Mr. President,
for the reason that yon recognize our com
mon interest in the Government under which
we live, nnd because, thus far, wc have been
denied the Constitutional means of communi
cation by which other States nnd other peo
ple make known their opinions, purposes and
feelings in the councils of the nation.
In declaring thnt the people of Virginia
and their representatives accept and abide by
the results of the late contest, and that they
intend in good faith to meet all tlic obliga
tions thereby incurred, tbe General Assembly
expressed a sentiment of a purpose which
has been uniformly recognized by our people
individually and en matte, and in regard to
which there is no hesitation or division in all
Virginin. Chief among the results thus ac
cepted is the universal conviction that the
Union of these States is an established fact,
and that the future of our people is indisso
lubly bound up for weal or woe with tlic suc
cess or failure of the Gqpernment of the Uni
ted States. We recognize the government ns
our government, its Constitution as our Con
stitution ; the duties which it promises arc
our rights. Another great result, accepted
by our people, is the final overthrow of tlic
institution of slavery. This has been com
pelled by a Constitutional Amendment, the
leading force of which is usually admitted,
for although we aro not represented in the
Congress by which it was proposed, the fail
ure to so be represented was our own choice.
The condition of the freedmen among us,
nnd the policy to be adopted with regard to
them, will be recognized by you as calling
for the exercise of the highest faculties of the
statesman nnd the best feeling of the Chris
tian philanthropist.
The General Assembly of Virginia is en
gaged earnestly in the consideration of these

The Insurrection in Spain— The Speech of the King of
Prussia—The Tear 18CD.
Paris, January 19th, 1S06.
To tell you the truth wc arc without any post
tlvcnews respecting the rising which toak place
a few days ago at Arungnez under the lead* r.dilp of
General Prim. Yonr readers would hold their
sides with laughter were thcjmble to read the tele
grams sent U9 by tbe Spanish Ministry, and which
have been reproduced with much gravity ia the
Mon! to nr Francals. Every telegram tells us the
samu thing, it runs as follows: All is well, and the
rebel-troops hotly pursued by General Libula—will
shortly have to lay down their arms or will hare to
cro„»t!ie Portugese frontier to return no more.—
What, however, proves the contrary, and that the
rebellion is In uo way crushed, Is that the French
Government has Just sent a ship of war to cruise
off Barcelona nnd other Spanish porta, in order to
protect the subjects of the Emperor In case of need,
notwithstanding that the friends and admirers of
Prim are desirous of attaching little importance
to all these dispatches, there is no donbtbntthat
the General is in a Tery crit leal position, and I think
thst there ia little doubt hut that the vicioiy be
longs to O’Donnell.
You will ask me why? And I will answer you,
because O’Donnell has, for the last month, given
evident proofs of rare courage and uncommon
moderation. The garrison of Madrid which at
the first breaking out ot the rebellion, had shown
some indecision as to which side it wonld take, has
now pronounced in favor of the Ministry, and for
tbe following reasons:
Two days after tho outbreak of the cavalry at Ar-
anguez, Ci’Donnell was informed thata regiment
in the barracks near the Pucrta del 80I was calling
out, down with O’Donnell! Down with the Mlnls-
trv! He immediately proceeded to the baracks un
attended, and when he had arrived in the court yard
of the same, he addressed the mutinous soldiery
in thejfollowing terms:
“Soldiers, you wish for the death of O’Don
nell ?”
“Yes. yes,” exclaimed the troops.
“Well,* then, strike, for jie stands before yon!
Of a sudden the muskets fell to the ground, and
the swords rctnmed to their scabbards, and from
thnt moment O’Donnell’s late enemies were trans
formed into faithful adherents.
The grest fault that Prim has committed is to
have raised the standard of the Progreaaistos
without tho adhesion of Espartero, and to have
talked of tho Iberian Unity, which can only take
place under the auspices of the King of Portu
gal. lie has, moreover, wounded the pride of one
of the most sensitive nations of the world, as we
see in tho case of Paseja who has pnt an end to
his <lavs because one of liis cannon boats was
captured by a Chilian erniter. O’Donne)] has
also shown much moderation, which has won
over many of the Progressistos to his cause. lie
ran reckon upon the friends of Marshal
Narva**. _ . . . ,
T,a Correspondence, nil official journal, says
that nothing shall determine the presentGovern-
ment to depart from a moderate tolerant line of
poliev. which will be to reduce the expenditure
nnd taxes in everv possible manner. Liberty is
also to be tbe order of the day. I am assured
thnt the article of La Correspondencia will do
morn for the repression of tbe rebellion than nil
tho Generals who ere sent after the rebels with
orders not to take them prisoners.
As regards the republic, a form of Government
which some persona think adapted to Spain, I
fear that it is not likely to assure the happiness
of the Hidalgos for some time to come.
The Spaniards are too much sunk m the super-
• A* 1 r at.. —MJU A re A a HflfT DM attach* it
stitions of tVe middle ages, and too attached
to the monarchical form of Government (which
in rav opinion will some day disappear from the
face of the world to make wav for republics! to
adopt any thing else. Moreover, if the socialists
are verv numerous in the Peninsula, republicans
rroperlv speaking are in a very small minority
and not calculated to have sny weight »n the
doctrines of the countries. O Donnell has everv
chance of success, if he changes his home and
foreign poliev nnd adopts the programme given
I Victor Emmanuel wonld appear in the Holy Ctty.
Priests and women have “full liberty,” it is said -
The cabinet of Florence made no complaint of the
Pope respecting its good faith. M. Dronyn de
l’Hnys, theKrc-nch Minister, seems to have been
quite iffectcd at the despondency of the Holy
Father, and has begged the Ttahan Government to
reassure him as regards the safety of the Tope.
This stop has, no doubt, been taken to eatUiV the
plrrtrr of France. Lsimarraora bas informed the
Emperor that Pio None runs not the 8,, eh*J*t per
sonal danger. It has besn remarked thatfor the

between the King of Italyand-Do Aono Fortu-
natelv, tbe Italians are so taken up with thMr in
ternal affairs that they will have no tunsL to JUten
to the bowlings from the Vahean. The Italian
Minister «eems determined upon fellowiag a1 most
economical line of policy. Let ns hope it will not
be like Mons. Fonlffs. which, after all, was ‘‘much
ado about nothing." However, let us return to
FRANCE.
On Mondav next the French Chambers will be
opened, and the public is looking forward to the
Emperor’s opening ipeech with much Impatience.
We have every reason to believe that his Imperial
Majesty will, no donbt make some allusion to Gen.
Schofield’s presence in Paris, and our envoy
at Washington, Mons. dc Montholon, has sent
over a secretary to the Tuileries to hasten mat
ters, with respect to the withdrawal of troops
from Mexico. There is again talk of economical
measures—peace and plenty and so forth. A few
days age there was a grand ball at the Tuileries,
and nothing else was talked rfsave tbe Mexican
question, and the Emperor appears determined
to recall the French troops. H:s Imperial Majesty
is not in good health, and wishes for quiet and
absence from laborious duties. He will, there
fore. by holding out promises, set aside every
kind of troublesome questions. Bat I do not
think that theso tactics will succeed, as tho dep
uties aro exasperated, and the members of the
corps legislatif, who do not feel the ground under
them very secure, have only one object in view/
which is to make a certain show of independence
and opposition before 1S69, when the gicat Ac
tions are to be held.
1869—X FATAL DATE.
For if the reigning dynasty does not talc care
this date may be as fatal as 1852 for tbe late
French republic. Some superstitious arsons
affirm that as the universal suffrage will then
attain Its majority, the French will takosone de
cided step to free themselves from the thraldom
in which they arc held. Should the empire fall,
its fall will he rapid—more rapid than that of tho
government of July, for it ia said, ‘‘lie who rules
by the sword shall perish by the sword."

Mrnnr.n at Darien, Ga.—We are indebt
ed to Mr. Charles Domnt, Purser of the
ttesmer H. M. Cool, for the particulars of a
murder which occurcd on Thursday last at
Darien.
It appears that a captain of n small smack,
at that place, sent one of his men to purchase
some nails for him, and when tho man came
! ack one of the hands ofthe vessel asked him
fur some of them, which he gave him. lie
then went to the captain nnd handed him
the balance, who asked him, why be gave
the nails to the man. saying: “You s—n of
11*— li, why didn’t you obey orders.” The
man then said to the captain that “he had
stood this thing long enough,nnd if he didn’t
j:kc him he had better pay him off nnd let
him go.”. Some other words ensued when
the captain struck the sailor. The sailor then
turned around and gave him a severe thrash
ing. Tlic captain then went aft, ’ when the
sailor remarked: “I suppose you arc going
after one of your d—d pistols,” and went for
ward. The captain came out of liis cabin
with a revolver and attempted to fire twice,
hut the pistol failed to go off. The sailor
ran forward, but stumbled over something,
when the captain aimed the third time and
the Distoi xvent off, the ball striking tl.c mail
ln tur forehead, After suffering extreme
agony for the space of teu hours, the man cx-
pired.—Sat. llerald.

Great Fire at Hilton Head.—Wc learn
from the Savannah Herald of the 9th, that
* i>0 ut 5 o’clock on Wednesday morning, a fire
*fcurrcd at Hilton Head, which did an im-
•“Mise amount of damage. The fire was the
work of an incendiary, and was started in

their labors, we can only say that whatever
policy is adopted will be addressed in good
faith nnd with kindly feelings to the improve
ment of the physical", intellectual and moral
condition of our freedmen. You can under
stand, and will readily believe, that tlic
feelings of our people towards those
freedmen arc those of kindness, sympa
thy and good will, and that to treat
them with harshness or injustice is op
posed as much to our feelings as it is to
our interests and our sense of right The
policy pursued bf you, Mr. President, to
ward Virginia and other States in like condi
tion has its strong foundation in broad and
comprehensible views of constitutional right
and of national policy, and must look for its
ultimate success on the conservative sense of
justice to nil the States. It is due, however,
to you and to our people, to assure you that
xyhen our General Assembly dcclates the ap
proval of that policy by tlic people of Vir
ginia they expressed wlmt each one ol this
committee here present knows to he a living
truth. It happens that your position places
you between us and a threatened danger, nnd
the general assembly have hut given voice to
the real feelings of our people, when they
tender to you the warmest thanks of Vir
ginia for the firm stand you have taken
against the facility with which it is proposed
to change the fundamental law. Wc would
not, however, claim os the only or chief merit
of the course you arc taking, that it affords
to us protection in a time of trouble. It is
as a defender of the general Constitution that
you deserve and commend the confidence
nnd support of the people of the United
States, nnd it will be hereaftej remembered
ns your highest claim to the character of a
republican statesman that under ail tlic try
ing circumstances by which you are sur
rounded, you have not only proclaimed the
Constitution of the United States to be the
supreme law of this land, but have defended
it alike from violation nnd from innovation.
The following is the response ot the Presi
dent to the Virginia delegation ■
The President replied—
Gentlemen: To the resolutions you have
just presented to me, nnd the clear and forci
ble and concise remarks which you have
made in explanation of the possition of Vir
ginia, I shall not attempt to make a formal
speech, but simply enter into a plain
conversation in regard to tbe condi
toin of tilings in which we stand ns
a premise to what I may say. Permit me first
to tender you my thanks for this visit and
next to express the gratification I feel on
meeting so many intelligent, responsible and
respectable gentlemen of Virginia, bearing
to me the sentiments which have been ex
pressed in the resolutions ot your Legislature,
nnd in the remarks which accompany them.
They are, so far as they refer to the Constitu
tion, the country, the sentiments nnd princi
ples embraced iii thnt charter of the Govern
ment. The preservation of the Union ha3
been, from my entrance into public life, one
of my cardinal teneLs. At the very incipi-.
ency of this rebellion I set my face against
tlic"nssevcration of the Union of tiie States.
I do not make this allusion for the purpose
of bringing up anything which lias transpir
ed, which may be regarded as of an unkind
or unpleasant character, but I believed then
os I believe now, nnd as you bare most un
mistakably indicated that security and pro
tection of the rights of all people were to be
found in the Union. Upon this conviction I
based my opposition to tlic efforts which
were made to destroy the Union.
Tiie Con federates in Mexico.—The
Nashville Banner says:
A letter from the city of Mexico, recently
received by a gentleman in Columbus Miss.,
who has kindly sent it to us lor our perusal,
contains the following paragraph : “Gov.
Harris, of Tennessee, visited the city in the
middle of December to lay in, as lie said, his
supplies for Christmas. He looks better than
ever I saw him. His beard and moustache
are cuta fimptrinle, he wears a sombrero with
a brim broad enough for an umbrella,, and
swears be never felt happier in his life.—
His ranche near Cordova is already in
full blast.” The same letter speaks of
Messrs. Shelby and Price in glowing terms,
and adds: “Gov. Alien tells me that he has
his newspaper, the Mexican Times, in good
condition; it over pays expenses and. is
increasing in patronage.” It is a great pity
that these poor exiles cannot be left in peace;
but wc very greatly fear that tlic power of
Maximilian is on ’ tiie mane, and thnt the
withdrawal of the French will be the signal
for his overthrow.
The Banner need give itself no uneasiness
on that point. If the French troops should
be withdrawn Maximilian will have enough
left to sustain his government against all dis
affected Mexicans, and if any other people
interfere the French troops will very soon be
sent back.

A PENN AND INK SKETCH OF PRIM, COUNT OF
REUSS,
who is a ’ittle man of fifty-eight years, of sal
low complexion, bald head and of restless dispo
sition. T saw him in Paris a few years ago: he
was a man of fashion, and seldom failed to be
present n* ‘he first performaneeof any new opera
or vandeville. He was to he seen on a fine day
at tho Bois de Bonlogne. riding a spirited horse,
and smoking nneeasingly. It was in 1839 that
he began his military earee-with the volunteers
of Isabella J. and ever since then, up to 18«!>.
when he took part in the campaign of Morocco.
Prim has done what all 8nanish Genera is before
him have done, i. e.. be has taken part in pro-
nunciamrnfos, sometimes successful and some
times nn'iieeessfnl. one day being named Count
of Reuss and another running the risk of being
shot: be has also been nnjustlv accused of wish
ing to nsssssinste Nnrvie*. Prim also took an
important part in tbe Crimean war.
Of unbounded ambition, he, at one time, hoped
to build up a throne for himself on the ruins of
the Juarez republic in Mexico. The French in
tervention in that country alone prevented Prim
from succeeding. Since then he has been trying
apronunciamento 01 two, which may be consid
ered the first stage on tho road which lead,
either to jiower or exile. No one knows what
the arch-conspirator has in view, but if you were
to ask me what is tho impression enusod in
France by the insurrection in Spain. I will an
swer that there is but little interest taken in the
late pronunciamento in Paris, tho inhabitants
almost entirely given up to pleasure, are getting
evoryday more apathetic with regard to foreign
politics. I will tell you what occupies the Pa
risians of the present day.
TIIE PARISIAN OF TnE BAS-KMPIRE,
now, like the Romans of old, only take pleas
ure in tbe games of the Circus ond In the society
of courtesans. Batty, the great Lion tamer, is
now the wonder of the day in tho gay capital,
and crowds are nightly turned away from the
Cirque Napoleon, Boulevard de TVmpA,unable even
to procure standing room. It must be owned
that the animals now performing to delighted
audieuces are of the present character, not like
those in Shakspeare’sMidsummerNight’s Dream,
fir many of the fair sex quit the arena in fright
and do not cry out
“LET HIM ROAR AGAIN.”
A few nights ago the intrepid American had a
very narrow escape, as one of the lions, irritated
by the blows it received, made a sudden spring
nt his master and nearlv tore his lett cheek off
Batty, in no way intimidated by the boldnei* of.
the animal forced it to crouch down in the corner
of its den, to the enthusiastic admiration of the
overflowing audience. Tho Parisians take great
delight in tnote cruel perfqrances as well as in
the trials for murder of which we have had too
many of late. Shortly we shall have the execu
tion of
TUB MCRDZRCB POXCET !
Whose dreadfnl career deserves to be told. Some
time ago, an unfort unite was found with her head
almost severed from her body. Her murderer had
killed her in order to rob her of the few trinkets she
posse-sed, and the police were unable to lay hands
upon him. A lew days alter, an individual who
had tried to strangle Madam X***, a painter was
arrested aud on his lodging being searched, several
articles, the property of the unfortunate who had
been murdered some days back, were found In his
trank, lie soon after confessed that he had com
mitted several other crimes; it may be said with
certainty that the hand of providence is visible ln
all this sffiiir.
Another great criminal bos just been condcmed
to death lor the muider of an aged English gentle
man, and be states that he has served through all
the American campaign.
B1SMARK n.vs AGAIN SPOKCN.
On the 19th ot January, the Pusslan Minister,
who is much more the King of Prussia than Wilhelm
I himself, spoke ai the opening of the Prussian
Chamber, lie his lost uotblug of bis arrogance or cf
bis pride. He tells the Chambers in a polite way,
that the Government will continue to act as here
tofore, spending the revenues of the country as it
thinks fit; that there will be money wanting to get
up a Nary, an Arsenal, etc. That much for home
matters. As regards exterior affairs, he means to
keep the Duchies of Schleswig Holstein, as possess
ion is nine points cf the late. The Piesldcnt of tbe
Prussian Chambers answered in a speech which
mav be looked upon as a protestation, but all the
protestations in the world will avail nothing, un
less some decided measures are taken by the op
position.
We must not forget that it is jast four years ago 1
that the great Von Bismark began to govern Proa-!
sla, and since tbe day that tae deputies of tbe
Chamber applauded the premier for his intention ■
to rob Denmark of the Duchies of Schlewing Hols
tein, since that day, I say, tney have lost all pres
tige and all authority in thecountry. It the Cham
bers have not yet been dissolved, it is because there
is only one sesson to run and it is not worth while
to kill ptoplc who are about to die a natural death
and this is the man that was to form an alliance
with France. O, shame.
THE FEARS OF TnE POPE.
In Paris is interesting enough. Several ladies
converted by the works ol Messrs. Dipin A Sar-
don. directed against the extravagance in ladies’
dress, have just formed n club or nssiciation un
der the strange title of LaSaintcMotttclinc. All
these ladies, members of the grande monde, have

matter over a while, until 1c came to the con

Wo heard recently an amusing in

was in Washington, interceding for a parden
for her rebel husband. Her application to
tho President was well received, and he
treated her with great considcratio* and
kindness. In speaking of her interviews
with him to a friend, the lady remarked that
the President was very cordial and gracious;
spoke very kindly of her husband and bis
family, and invited her to stay at tic White
House while she remained in Washington.—
“Well,” said her friend, “you accepted the
President’s hospitality?” “No,” Kmarkcd

Washington, February 7.
INTERVIEW OF A MONTANA DELEGATION WITH
THE PRESIDENT.
Tlys morning a large number of citizens of
Montana Territory, now in WnshiLgton,
called on the President. B. M. Pinny, United
States Marshal for the Territorv, Chief Jus
tice Hosmer, Gen. Barrow, and twenty-five
or thirty others, were among the number.—
Mr. Pinny addressed the President on behalf
of the delegation.
Gentlemen : It is no ordinary pleasure for
me to meet you here on this occasion, and to
hear the sentiments you have announced.
To receive vo large and respectable a tody
of intelligent gentlemen from that region of
country from which you come is highly grat
ifying to me.” “In response, sir,” addressing
Mr. Pinney, to the eloquent manner in which
you expressed the sentiments of whom you
represent, I might content myself with sim
ply returning my thanks for your kind ex
pression, but you have made some allusions
to which, under circumstances surrounding
us, I cannot be indifferent. You hare allud
ed to great principles of our Government,
having been enunciated in a paper sent 1
short time since to tbe Congress of tlie-Uni-
ted States. The declaration by me of those
principles was not the result of impulse—it
vvas the result of a thorough and calm con
sidcration of those great truths.
If I should take hold of a piece of machine
ry that had been constructed and trained to
run harmoniously in one direction, and at
tempt by reverse action to run in opposite di
rection, I say no one can mistake the doctrine
ot that message. It is very easy for persons
to misrepresent it, and to make assertions
this, that or other lias taken place, or will
take place, but I think I may be permitted to
say to you on this opcasion, taking all my an
tecedents, and going back to my advent in
public life, the cardinal doctrines set forth in
that paper have been my constant guide.—
After having gone so far, it is too late to turn
and take a different direction. They will be
my guide from this time onward, and those
who understand them may know where I
shall always be fonnd when principle is in
volved.
Here let me say to you, in order to disa
buse the public mind, as far as possible for
an individual to do so, that my public career
is well nigh done. The sands of my politi
cal glass lias well nigh run out. If I were
disposed to refer to myself I might trace my
career back to tlic log cabin; and then an
Alderman and Mayor in a village; and then
through both branches of the legislature, and
then for ten consecutive years in the national
House of Representatives; then through the
gubernatorial chair to the Senate of the Uni
ted States; then Provisional Governor, with
a slight participation in military affairs; then
Vice-President, and now in the position I oc
cupy before you. If I can be instrumental
in restoring to tbe Government of the United
States—in restoring to their true position in
the Union those States whose relations to the
National Government have for a time been
interrupted by one of the most gigantic re
bellions that ever has occurred in the world,
so that we can proclaim once more that we
are a united people—I shall feel that the
measure of my ambition has been filled, and
filled to overflowing.
“And at that point, if there be any who
are envious nnd jealous of honor and position,
I shall be prepared to make them as polite a
bow as I know how, nnd thank them to take
the place I have occupied, for my mission
will have been fulfilled.
“In saying this in the performance of my
duty, and in response to the encouragement
you have given me, I feel that I am in a con
dition not to be arrogant; not to feel imperi
ous. I feel that I can afforchto do right, and
so feeling, God being willing. I intend to do
right, and so far as in me lies I intend to ad
minister this Government upon the principles
that lie at the foundation of it. I can inform
aspirants who are trying to form their combi
nations for the future, who want to make one
organization for one purpose and another for
another, that they are not in my way.
“I am not a candidate for any position,
and hence repeat that I can afford to do right
—and being in that condition I will do right.
I make this announcement for the purpose of
letting all know that my work is to restore
the government, not to make combinations
with reference to any future candidacy for
the Presidency of the United States. I have
reached the utmost round. My race is run so
tar as that is concerned. My object is to per
form my duty, and that I will endeavor to do.
“Let us, then, all join in this great work
of restoration, and while we are restoring
and repairing the breeches that have been
made, let us also unite in the work of mak
ing new States, and populating them with a
people who are worthy of the Government
which protects them, and let those new State
governments be founded on principles in har
mony with the great machinery devised by
our fathers. So far as regards any aid or as
sistance that can be given here, in the pro
gress and in the consumation of this great
work of building up new States, as well as in
the restoration of all the former States, you
will find mo a willing and a cordial helper.
“Gentlemen, I did not expect this demon
stration, but you will please accept my
thanks for the compliment you have paid me
on this occasion, and the encouragement you
have given me in tlic discharge of my duty.
“All I can say in conclusion, is to assure
you that any assistance you may need from
this quarter will be most cheerfully given to
advance the interests of the community you
represent.”
TnE Contemplated Change in the Cabi
net.—The New York World has the follow
ing remarks on this subject:
President Johnson is still in the early part
of his term; and when he reconstructs his
Cabinet, wc suppose lie will aim to compose
it of statesmen who will go through with him
to its close. Of the seven members, ho will
doubtless take two or three from tiie Southern
States. It is well known that 3Ir. Lincoln
tried to do this, although the party that elec
ted him had no existence in those States; and
he failed only because tho persons to whom
lie offered places declined to accept them.—
President Johnson will, therefore, have a
precedent which the party thnt elected him
cannot very well fipwirh, ill going outside
it to find appointees. It may, indeed, be
said tliat the relations of tbe Southern States
have changed; that when Mr. Lincoln offered
offices to their citizens they were still in the
Union, and represented in Confess, whereas,
at present they are not But tlic Republican
National Convention answered tills argument
in advance. When they went into one of the
States now denied admission to Congress for
their candidate for Vice-President, they set a
precedent which they could more easily com
plain of anybody else for following, than of
Mr. Johnson. It is in consequence of that
selection that he is now at the head of the
government; and it would be the climax of
absurdity to say that States which may pro
perly furnish a President cannot furnish a
cabinet officer.

A Peruvian frigate and steam corvette had

All the Spaniards residing in the Province of
Lima had received orders not to leave the

also taken other precautions to have reprisals

possession of any port on the coast, or inflict
any other heavy damage.

If unyiic'of the pr— at dominant j-artv of rab
id “Disuniontsts” and “Dc ■tructiv could amaze
or astound the rest of the world, surely the recent
propo.-altolnflieta “penal tax” of five cent- per

cause every patriot; and every ric'.tly think in :r man
the world over, to stand dnmb-foumlered v.-ith

production is so deeply felt, and yet its culture, in
existing circumstances, can be comraenaedar.d car
ried on only under unparalleled difficulties and dis

regard for the comfort and tho thrift of either our

would have felt inclined to foster the growth of

NO MORE WAR.
From the Chicago Times.]
The junior abolition newspaper of this city
is very much alarmed at the growing signs of
discontent which the country exhibits over
that treasonable action of tiie rump congress.
It has cause to fear. It may not be that the
people will resort to arms to redress their
grievances, but their indignation is likely to
take a shape at the ballot-box that will as
effectually quash radicalism as if it were put
to the sword.
Arguing simply from analogy, why should
not the people of both the North and the
South rise, and, with arms in their hands,
march upon Washington and dissolve the
Parliament that now substitutes treason for
legislation ? ^A Cromwell once did the same
thing for less cause, and posterity not only
holds Cromwell guiltless, but makes him both
a hero and a patriot.
This nation fought four years to hinder dis
union in the Sonth. Is disunion in the South
any more infamous and any more worthy
of retribution than in Washington? Why
should this people permit a few radicals to
do at Washington wliat they prevented the
South from doing at a cost of half a million
lives and an expenditure in money of billions?
We would not tolerate secession when'it came
from South Carolina; is it more tolerable
when coming from Pennsylvania and Massa
chusetts ?
We do not want war. The old secession
movement, led by Jeff Davis, could have
been put down by simply referring the whole
matter to the unbiassed action of the people.
The new secession, inaugurated by Stevens,
can be put down in the same way. War is
as much justifiable now as it was then; but
it is better to do now wliat should have been
done then—leave the question to the sove
reign people.
Posterity will have a nice question to de
cide, whether a greater traitor ot the present
day is Jeff. Davis or Thad. Stevens. The
latter has the merit of success, the other the
disgrace of failure. The only reason that
will prevent posterity from gibbeting Stevens
that men do not hang successful rebels. If
Jeff. Davis is ever hung, it will not be be
cause lie seceded, but because be failed in his
enterprise.
We assure our trembling cotemporary that
although there is reason for war, there will
be none. The people will not allow them
selves to be precipitated into another contest.
They will take up this matter at the polls. If
they do not dissolve a treasonable congress,
and hang its leaders higher than Human, it
will not be because they ought not to do
these things, but for the reason that the bal
lot offers an equally sure, although a less
swift, remedy.

1ST A New York correspondent tells the
following stories of Comodore Vanderbilt:
He has a will and an obstinacy that cannot
be equalled. He got mad with Collins and
swore he would run his line off the ocean, and
he did it. Fifteen years ago he held some of
the bogus stock of the New Haven Railroad,
issued by Schuyler. He demanded pay of
the Company. His demand was refused. He
told the Railroad Company lie wonld have it,
if he spent all he was worth. So lie lias fol
lowed the Company through all the courts for
fifteen years, and at the close of the last term
of the Court of Appeals, the Court of last re
sort, gave him a decision by which lie gains
$750,000 and costs. Vanderbilt is a “big
gun,” but he will never be translated on ac
count of his amiability.
Tan Stevens Faction.—The full strength
of tbe faction of confiscators in tbe House
was yesterday brought out on the amendment
to the Freedmen’s Bureau Bill, moved by Mr.
Stevens. The amendment in question, sum
marily stated, was to declare the whole of the
Southern States to be conqurcd territory, or
more practically, to take everybody’s prop
erty and give it to everybody else. The
party of general confiscators numbers exactly
thirty-seven, neither more nor less. That it
should number even so many as this is a reflec
tion upon our civilization. But, all things
considered, it is, perhaps, a matter of felici
tation that the faction is uo stronger than
it is. Let us invito all our readers to care

Texas State Convention.—Nf.w York,
Feb. 10.—A special to the New York Tri
bune, dated Austin, Texas, Thursday, Februa
ry 8, says: The Convention organized to-day,
and will incorporate into the new Constitu
tion the total abolition of slavery, and give
negroes the right to testify in all courts, hold
property, sue and be sued, etc. The Conven
tion is divided between tlic original seecsh
aud straight out Union men. Some members
are in favor of negro suffrage.
The President of the Convention voted
against secession 111 the last Convention, but
was subsequently on officer in the rebel army.
eighty dollars per annum upon every able bodied
freedman in the cotton growing States, for the
purpose of repairing losses, and replenishing the
exhausted resources of the “White citizens” ofthe
South, the presumption is, that he would be forth-
. with expelled from the House. Certainly hsse,is
reproaches and denunciations would overwhelm
him! His. reputation would be forever blighted;
probably liis property “confiscated!” Such a wail,
also, would be raised over this outrageous attempt
to crush the poor Freedman, as hasjnot been heard
since the death of the “First bom” in Egypt!
And yet I shall demonstrate, that this, in effect,
is precisely what the Destructives aro doing to
strengthen their own irrasp of power over the
South, and to swell tiie dimcns!ons of their al
ready plethoric pockets.
With good land, and good seasons, an able*
bodied and industrious.freedman can make four
bags of cotton. At five cents a pound, tho tax
on each bag of four hundred pounds, would bo
twenty dollars. But four times twenty are eighty
—tbe precise amount which the special friends
of the “Freedman” intend to levy upon him.—
The ratio is also the same at all other rates of
production. Nor i3 there any possibility of his
avoidiug the infliction, whether he cultivates
his own land, or that of other persons, for part of
the crop, or exchange the products of his labor
in other departments of industrial operations for
cotton’ produced by others. There is the “odious
tax” staring him in the face, and threatening to
grind the life out of himself and all the littlo
“freed folks”—now dependent upon him, and
not, as formerly, upon the master. So, too, of
all the good old “Aunties” among them—de
crepit with age, but still hoeing in their littlo
patches, trying to make something to sustain
them in their declining years. They, also, must
fork over the “five cent” tax.
The party in power are too wise to bo instruc
ted. It would bo waste of words to either advise
or admonish them, it is well known, however,,
that their present death struggle to force “free
suffrage” upon the South—though the North re
jects it, generally, at home—originates solely
from their flattering confidence that thus they
and their friends will secure the entire vote of
the “Freedmen,” not only to sustain them in
power, but to enable them to perpetrato all
their designs of destruction upon the mortally
diseased, “good old Constitution” of the “so cnll«
ed” United States. They may, howover, rest
assured that about the next cotton picking sea
son, they will receive from the “Freedmen" a
thousand times more curses than votes! Long
before that time, they will also learn, that their
attempt to wrest from tho cotton growers the
proceeds of their labor to an amount surpassing
one-half the value oftho whole crop, in former
yeara!—will reduce the intended planting from a
third to one-half, below what hopeful views of
the future would have ensured.
Iu consequence, also, of this measure, tbe South
will bo compelled to modify greatly, if not radi
cally change, her whole policy—open up new
lines of enterprise—diversify her pursuits—plant
some cotton, enough for her own uso, and a littlo
to spare—raise stock—work mines—build ship3—
cultivate the arts, mechanical aud fine—manu
facture largely—raise tobacco—sell lumber—im
port but littlo—do her own carrying trade—uso
great economy, and endeavor to be as independ
ent as possible of ail the Test of the world.
The diro necessity is upon us to pursue this
course; aud, most assuredly, great and lasting
benefits to the whole South will gipw out of this
intended evil. Our former abject dependence
upon others for everything we needed, was not
oniy humiliating, but our policy of exchanging
the raw material for manufactured articles, ope
rated as ten to ono against us, our present
oppressors reaping the chief profits.
Let, then, the past suffice; and, as wo now
begin the world anew, let us commence it right
—strike out' upon the only courso that can lead
to present competency and permanent thrift.
By diversifying our pursuits—introducing ma
chinery by which ono man can do tho work of
ten or twenty, educating thoroughly our popula
tion, furnishing them with someauitable employ
ment, and adequate meanB of support, we shal
not only become, generally, a more industrious,
energetic and comfortable people than we ever
wero before; but shall have it in our power to
furnish means of self-support to tho millions of
Freedmen" among us, whom our oppressors and
theirs, seem determined to destroy.
