« 53T Hon. A. II. Stephens was in Augus
ta Wednesday last en. route for Washington
city. There are some circumstances connect
edwith bis visit to the Federal Capital at
this time, that renders it a matter of peculiar
interest to all the people of the South.
Mexican Commerce Encouraged.—Gov.
Andrews, of Massachusetts, has stated that
the Imperial Government of Mexico, has just
paid the New York and Yora Cruz Steamship
Company $30,000 in gold, being a portion of
the sum granted by Maximilian for tlic cn
couragcment of the commerce of the Empire
TnE President and Tennessee.—The
Nashville Banner proteases to have informa
tion of the most reliable description from
Washington that the President will not ap
prove the joint resolution admitting Tennes
see on the terms proposed by the Reconstruc
tion Committee. The wholo scheme, says its
informant is regarded ns a trap to catch the
President. It was devised by Maynard,
whose hand is particularly discernnblc in the
clause which forbids the election of any but
•loyal'’ men to office.
pgr* Lest the impression should be created
by a small notice ot J. W. Burke & Co’s cs>
tablishmcnt, that apponred in the Telegraph,
that said firm is about to close up its busi
ness, we will state that such* is nottbc case.
J. W. Burke Jc Co., are firmly resolved to
remain firmly at their present occupation of
selling books, music and paper, cheap. To
bo suro they close up every night, but that
mly proves that they intend to bo a fixture
in our city, and to remain stationary sollihg
stationery, though progressive ns to improve
ment. We hopo the perpetration of an cx-
■crablo pen will have the effect of drawing -
dtention to them, so that ail who choose can
rind out for themselves how they serve cus-
•orners and what a choice stock they keep.
/Outrageous.—The writer of the article
signed “J. W. J.” is a citizen of high respec
tability, and wc commend bis complaint to
the attention of the military authorities.—
We have heard of repeated indignities offer
ed to our citizens of late, one in which n cler
gyman of this city, in returning to his borne
in company with his wife and daughters, had
actually to give tho side walk to a strutting
negro soldier, not on duty, or be run over.
Now tho Government has no countenanco for
such conduct ns this on the part of any of its
troops, black or white, and as wc apprehend
the military were sent here protect all the
citizens, we call upon them to apply a remedy
to this intolerable state ot affairs. If the
troops now hero cannot bo controlled when
at large, they should be kept under guard
when not on duty. It is. just ns reasonable
and lawful to turn a wild beast loose upon tlie
community os some of these ruffians.

THE TRUE COURSE.
In the northern papers wc notice frequent
articles suggesting to Southerners the pro
priety of manifesting towards the Federal
Government, more of a spirit of friendliness
and acquiescence, as a course most calculated
to secure for us the kind consideration o’, the
Government and an early restoration to all
the privileges and immunities of national
Union. We tell the Northern papers and the
Northern people, that they do not know the
real sentiments of the Southern people and of
the Southern press. They believe all tlic
falsehoods reported of disaffection at the
South, when there is no real disaffection.—
They believe and bruit abroad tbo silly rumor
that a conspiracy still exists at the South to
dissever the Union, when such a thing is not.
even contemplated: a grander lie than that
never was concocted. They speak of the
contumacy exhibited by Southern editors,
when every single one of them has counselled
a hearty and honorable acquiescence in the
results of the war, and an honest adhesion to
tho interests ot the Union. They expect
Southern editors to manifest tho most lamb
liko disposition, at the same time that a
virulent and maligning Northern press is ex
asperating them by originating and circulat
ingthemost malicious falsehoods. They aggra
vate tho Southern people by representing
them as false and inhuman to tho freedmen,
wben in truth the Southerners arc treating
their former slaves with great kindness, and
are seeking to benefit them in every possible
way and make them useful and happy mem 1
bers of society.
Wc are brow-beaten, abused, scoffed at as
ruffians, in whom can be placed not one par
ticle of reliance, when we know, if every Fed
oral soldier was removed this day from the
South, and civil order and. all tho blessings
of good government fully established, that
all the affairs of* State and all the wheels of
society would glide on as smoothly as in the
palmiest days of tho Republic. Tired of war
and sighing over the past, the South has
accepted the situation, has given her adhesion
to the powers that be, and she will abide by
her word. Why not take us at our word and
cease all exasperating crimination and aggra
vating suspicions? Why cannot the North
(relieve us, and, by a noblo and praiseworthy
reliance, so strongly cement tho bonds ot
union, amity, and frntcrnql regard, that a
century of storms shall not break them ?—
Why not, by a magnanimous Union of
trust and clemency, make all the people of
these broad States one in mind and heart, as
they are one nationally, and so weld together
every interest and feeling and hope that one I Xow it strikes us that if tho people of the
Genkral B. H. Ghiehson, the hero of tlic
famous raid in tlic South-West, testified be
fore the Committee on Reconstruction that
lie tailored "there is now an organization ex
isting throughout tho South for the renewal
of the rebellion." and that if we were en
gaged in a foreign war “tbo enemies of the
Government throughout tlie South meditate
and would not fail to seize the opportunity
to attempt again its destruction." Do the
people of Pennsylvania think any of their
interests can be seriously injured by extend

Just bore we would propound a question
Suppose this official libeller of tbc Southern
people to be correct in all be says about us—
that we are still rebellious, and would break
out afresh on the occasion of a foreign war—
we submit, would it not bo a far sounder pol
icy in the Government to conciliate us and
attach us to itself by acts of recognition and
kindness, rather than give us tlie cold shoul
dcr, proscribe us for years, repudiate us as
part of the Union, and thus give us good
grounds for disaffection, and sympathy with
the enemies of the country? When wo need a
man’s asasistaucc, do we treat him as an ene
my or ns a friend ? Will tho Press answer
that question ?
The truth is the Northern Radicals have been
crazy so long over the negro, that they seem
to have lost all power of reasoning and all
appreciation for truth. If the relations pf the
Union with foreign countries are precarious,
can anybody offer a stronger reason for the
cordial union and consolidation of all the
people? What could be our condition, al
lowing these gold lace representations to be
correct, should the country’ go to war with
ono third of the inhabitants estranged from
the government and without sympathy for its
cause ? A man in trouble usually seeks to
rally around him all the friends he can,
but according to Radical philosophy, he
should make no new friends and foster the
hostility of his enemies 1 How long—oh,
how long is tire peace of this great nation to
be made tlic%otball of Jcnaves and fools 1
As germain to the point in question, we
cannot do better than close this notice with
some pertinent observations of the Louisville
Journal, upon the practical effects ol the poli
cy pursued towards the South, and the strange
obliviousness of the Radicals to the palpable
relation of cause and effect It says:
‘•The Reconstruction Committee have pre
sented alquantity of evidences to prove thnt
the people of tho South are not as orderly
and loyal now as they were at the conclusion
of the war, and from this it is argued that

dence.
Pams, Feb. 10th, 1SGC.
The first days’ discussion at tho Senate of tho
Emperor almost assumed the character of
a rouTir.u.
thanks to the extravagant speech mado by the
Marquis do Boissy who every year plays tho part
of the enfant terrible in tho Senate. East year
he amused himself by striving to prove that tho
situation of Franco would he terrible, whenevci
tho Emperor should bo snatche^ away by death,
This year he declares, that unless the Emperor
restores the parliamentary system of govern
ment to France, tho crown will not bo transmit
ted from father to son in tho Imperial family.—
The history of tho last 60 years sufficiently proves
the contrary, but no matter; the parliamentary
system has many supporters, who daily increase
and form a not unimportant opposition. It is
this very party which the Emperor, os it were,
attacks in his opening speech. But the Marquis
who has gained for himself the nickname of Tri-
boult (tho elebrated fool of Francis I) finding
that he was getting ont of his depth, adroitly
changed the subject and mado a long and thor
oughly original speech in which he may be said
to attack everybody and everything. Ab el
Kadcr, the Roman question, Agriculture, Mexi
co, England, Fcnianism, each and all were hon
ored by his remarks; England in -particular ex
citing his wrath; he desired she should bo
crushed and exterminated from tbo face of tho
earth. Tho Marquis finally made an attack
upon Prince Napoleon on account of the speech
made by'the latter at AjAio, and, carious enough,
this time theSenste did not interrupthim. Tho fol
lowing day, however, in order to avoid the scan
dal which would have been caused had Prince
Napoleon personally replied to the speech bf M.
do Boissy, the Emperor ordered tho minister of
State to defend him in the name of the Govern
ment. Prince Napoleon was at first anxious to
reply himself to the Marquis’attacks, but gave
up doing so after a long conversation with tho
Emperor. You will perhaps imagine that this
affair has been a good deal canvassed and com-

We tell the people of the North that the

just now, and that a jbdicious course on their
part can bring it about. Let a universal am

warnings from the Government in theshort space

Messrs. Editors:-T\xo days ago, while riding
with a friend through thc city, I came up
with three of tho U. S. colored soldiers walk
ing arm in arm down the middle of the street,
one of them, at least, evidently under thc in
fluence of strong drink. In my innocence, I
thought myseli entitled to the street in as
much as I was riding in a buggy, but, to nl.
low them full opportunity to get out of thc
way, pulled up to a slow walk and endeavor
ed to pass them gently. Having observed me
at some distance off, they walked straight
alfcad until I lmd gotten within a few paces,
when one of them suddenly faced about, drew
a formidable navy repeater, and, with loud
and violent cursing, declared he would give
the way to no d—<1 white man, that he was as
good a man os anybody, &c. He presented
his pistol, and doubtless, would have fired
upon mo had he not been seized by ono of his
comrades and prevented. Now, acting with
thc orderly and peace-loving citizens, I had
quietly submitted to being crowded off the
side-walks, but is it not asking too much that
these ebony sons of Mars shall have both ?
that, walking or riding, wc shall be compell
ed to get out of tho way whenever ouo of
these gentry takes a notion to give himself an
airing ?
Now, thc point is this. Will not thc offi

so curtail their privileges that they cannot put
themselves outside of so much whisky and
spread themselves to such an extent all over
the city ? If thc Government must keep these
colored troops here, cannot thc commanding
officers, who are usually disposed to be kind
and forbearing, lessen tlic evil by keeping
them out of the way of'whisky, and of the

Foreign Immigration.—For ourselves wc
arc not inclined to embark hastily in the in
troduction of foreign labor into the South,
or until thc negro shall have had a fair and
patient trial. That foreigners—at least the
sober, industrious and virtuous class—should
be invited to settle up our surplus lands, may
be very well, and we indite this paragraph
for the special purpose of saying that the
class of immigrants which we have indicated
will be hospitably received by thc people of
the South. Thc idea that has obtained abroad
that such people would be unsafe in thc South

“The Boston Clergymen who havo been

not be of much benefit to their new calling.”
The above statement, now floating through”

excellent authority. Thc protracted meetings
referred to, are entirely of a religious char
acter. And it is not without significance that
these interesting revival scenes in that city
had their origin in, and up to the prescnt^solc-

THE SPANISH J.IYRE ROUGE (RED BOOK)
Or collection of diplomatical documents, which
has been communicated to the Cortes, runs
good chance of bringing about a rupture be
tween the courts of Florence and Madrid, owing
to the publication of certain dispatches of the
Spanish Ambassador at Paris, from which it ap
pears that he has sought to obtain guaranties
He repeated his favorite metaphor about the
crowning of the edifice, by the civilizing genius
of Franco end gently hinted that they must keep
their admirations for his government within
bounds.
The discussion of the address ia the Corps
Legislatif will be commenced in next week, and
the debate is likely to be a far more lively one
than that of the Senate.
It is announced that Mr. Thiers is going to
make one of his tremendous discourses, and Mr.
Emile OUivier intends also to raise his voice in
defense of liberty, and it is asserted that the
deputies intend showing more independence
than ordinary. The opposition had intended
making a serious attack on the project of destroy
ing in part the beautiful gardens of the Luxem
bourg in order to make some new streets—which
from our Minister of Foreign Affairs in favor of I f r ° ject ! ^eady informed you in a former
*i,« n-i.: J letter—had given rise to a great outcry on tho
part of the people, but the opposition will be de
prived of this satisfaction, as the Emperor, having
lately visited the Luxembourg, has decided that
the plan of destruction of tho gardens shall not
be put into execution. Ho has deigned to listen
to the cry that arose on all sides—
“let us*save the luxembourgI”

THE CARNIVAL AT E COURT.
On the 9th inst, M. Druyn D 1’uys gave
brilliant masked ball at his splendid mansion on
tho Quai D'Orssf; all the diplomatic and official
world were invited. The Emperor and Empres
also honored the ball with tbeir presqhco. One
of the guests, an American lady, Mrs.Goldsmith,
attracted a good deal of attention by her beauti
ful coetume. She was dressed as the Empress of
China, and was borne into the saloons in a pal
anquin surrounded by a crowd of mandarins
most splendidly dressed. Last Sunday there
were no official receptions, but on Monday the
monster ball given by the minister of Marine,
and which had been so long expected, look place-
The Emperor and Empress were present. Their
Majesties, as well as the other guests, arrived
early, everybody being anxious to witnoss tho
grand allegorical procession which was to take
place before the opening of the ball. As soon as
the Emporor and Empress had takon their seals,
a sound of drums was heard, and a baud of sail
ors, who wero so pretty that wo felt desirous to
make a long voyago in their company, appeared
After them came the four quarters of thc world,
which were represented by beautiful women, dress
cd in tnc most magnificent costumes covered with
gold and prccions stones. Mme. Eartbdemy re
presented France and acted as herald, to the pro
cession. I most not forget to mention that Ocean-
lea was unrepresented and to the reason given for
this oinisaloD, was that it was found almost im
possible to represent that quarter of thc globe In a
suitable manner. The costumes werno in the pro
cession, were most gcorgeons. Madame de Rim
sky Rortsakoff, who represented Asia, was literally
covered with jewels, valued, it is said, at two
millions frnnc3. The ball commenced immodiaUy
after the procession and was a most brilliant affair.
It not being considered good taste for tho grand
monde to amuse itself on the same days that thc
mass of the people arc doing so, there were no
official receptions Shrove Tuesday. Gen. Fleurv
In order to do
this, he seeks to quarrel with Austria on account
of the lino of conduct.lollowed by tho latter in
regard to the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein,
ever since the treaty of Gastein. To judge by
the daily defiances of the official journals of
Prussia and Austria, as it seems that
THE WAR IS GOING TO BREAK OUT BETWEEN
AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.
But wo know that in Germany they liavo the
habit of disputing long before coming to blows;
nevertheless it is probable that there exists some
hidden scheme 'of Bismark’a, and the proof is
that Mr. Galtz, the Prussian Ambassador at Paris,
has been sent for in allihasto from Berlin, which
seems as if Mr. Bismaik was anxious to know
what attitude Franco would assume in cose of
war between Austria and Prussia. In spite of
Mr. Bisraark’s assertion that tho destinies if Eu-
ropo for the future will be ruled at Berlin, it is nc
less evident that it is.the silent sovereign of the
Tuileries who holds the reins in his hands.
At Paris very little attention is paid to 'he ra
vings of the Prussian Minister, and public at
tention is called elsewhere by fear thatth i East
ern question will be agitated again
It appears that tho Maronito Catholics, have
again raised the standard of revolt under the
leadership of Joseph Karam. Russia is supposed
to have a band in tho revolt, which seems to be
wide spread amongst the Christian portion of the
Turkish Empire. The Porte has taken energet
ic measures to repress the insurrection, but it is
evident that the affair is becoming daily more
serious, and tho agitation of Turkey, crippled as
she is by tho wretched state of her finances : s
critical, and tho departure ol Mr. de Budberg,
the Russian Ambassador at Paris, for St. Peters
burg, contributes to increase the rumors of fresh
difficulties having arisen relative to thc Eastern
question.
TnE ITALIAN IIOBELE.
The Italian Government seems far from being
able to see her way out of the difficulty into
which the wretched state of her finances have
cast her. The scheme of Mr. Sualoga, minis
ter of finance, has mot with great opiwsition in
the Chambers, which, composed ns it is, of many
different elements renders it difficult to conceive

The Fenians of this city will walk on St

Telegraphic Communication with Europe.
The following is the joint resolution of
Congress recently passed, and now a law by
thc signature of the President, to facilitate
and encourage telegraphic communication be
tween the Western and Eastern continents:
Whereas, by an Act entitled “An Act to en
courage aud facilitate telegraphic communi
cation between the Eastern and Western con
tinents,” approved June first, eighteen hun
dred and sixty-four, it was provided, among
other things, that the Secretary of the Navy
be authorized to detail a vessel to assist in _
surveys and soundings, laying down sub-ma- |
rinc cable, transporting materials connected
therewith, and gcnereally afford such assist
ance as might be deemed best calculated to
socure a successful promotion of the enter
prise; and whereas, the Emperor of Rushs,
for thc purpose of co-operating with tho Gov
ernment of the United States, under the set
aforesaid, has ordered a steam corvette, the
“Variag,” of 2140 tons burthen, seventeen
guns, three hundred and six men, to assist
in thc achievement of said telegraph, and has.
placed the steamer subject to the orders of^_
said telegraph company; and whereas saidH
telegraph company intend, the ensuing snm-^^
mer, to Jay the sub-marine cable required at
Behring’s Strait, said cable and thc material
for tho entire line being now in transit, aud
the vessels of thc company, seven in number,
being ready at San Francisco and Vancouver
tor the expedition, and require immediate
co-operation on the part of the United States,
in conformity with said act: Therefore,
Be it resohedhy the Senate and House of Bq-
resentatiies of the United States of America »
Congress assembled, That thc Secretary of the
Navy be, and is hereby, authorized and re 1
quired to detail one steam vessel from the
squadron of the Pacific station, or elsewhere
to assist in making surveys and soundings in
that part of the Pacific coast, both of Amere
ca and Asia, where it is proposed to estab
lish said telegraph, in laying thc submcigedi
cable, and generally to afford such assistant*
as may be best calculated to secure the suc

purposes of the act approved July 1st 1861
