*>or
so long disunited and wretched, so long
pining in a night of glcom, is, at length,
merging into a day of brightness, and once
more lifts her head proudly among the na
tions of earth—a Power. Ere long Victor
Emmanuel will sit down in the Palace of the
Ciesars, and from grand old Rome govern—
King of all Italy.
Wlmt a consummation for aspiring ambi
tion!
But Victor Emmanuel is an excommuni
cated son of the church ! What then ?
Why, it means that between him and the
Pope there can be no fraternal amity—
no gracious concessions on the port ot the
Pontiff—no graceful abdication of tempo
ral power in favor of Victor Emmanuel—no
entrusting ot the august Head of the
Church to the guardianship of a refractory
child. So that when the French troops arc
withdrawn, and the mighty march ot events,
amidst plaudits of welcome, brings tho gal
lant Victor to Rome, as King of all nnited
Italy, either a collision will occurr
between him and the Pope, or that Potentate
retiring from his temporal jurisdiction, will
seekslielter elsewhere, or else, abdi
cating ail temporal sway forever, he will
maintain bis abode in tbc Mistress of the
World—a spiritual Ruler only. And to that
complexion must it come, at last. This tem
poral power of the Pope will glide from his
hand, inevitably. Not tho 1205 men of
his Franco-Portificial legion, nor his Swiss
bodyguard, nor the opposition of France,
nor the dissent of other Powers can prevent
the Romans from throwing of the Papal
yoke, and welcoming the benignant sway of
Victor Emmanuel.
If the inflammatory and passionate excla
mations unstintingly put forth hy the many
Radicals in Congress, who arc here in quest
of quarters, are any index of the aims and
purposes of the entire clique, it is due to
frankness to say that the aspect in the luturc
bodes neither equality,safety,peace nor securi
ty to the people of the South. They make
no concealments of the designs of the party
with which they are identified to abolition-
ize, territorialize and Africanize tho Southern
States, and keep them unrepresented until
such time as they can have them represented
in Congress by those of their kith and kin,
and until after the Presidential election. The
more easily and promptly to accomplish their
revolutionary purpose, they conceive the im
portant part of the drama to be the impeach
ment and deposing of the President.
A broker from Toronto, Canada, made in
quiry yesterday at the Treasury to ascertain
whether a draft ot the Government issued
from the Treasury of date of May 2,1865, for
$450,000 would be paid. On examination it
was discovered that the original was captured
by guerrillas en route from Cincinnati to Mem
phis, and a duplicate was issued which was
paid, rendering the original draft, now out,
worthless.

That this consummation is generally ex- He,ena Is,and .’ wc to be sold nnd theipro-

England has offered the Pontiff an Asylum

PRESIDENT LINCOLN’S CABINET.
LETTER FROM JUDGE BATES—THE VIEWS OF
TUB CABINET ON TUE ADMISSION OF WEST
VIRGINIA.
From the St Louis Republican, Oct. 9.
The following letter was written by Ex-
Attorney General Bates, some two months
ago, but for some reason has never before
been published: **'
St. Louis, Aug. 8, 1866.
To Col Jame* O. Broadhead, St. Louie:
Dear Sir: You were rightly informed that
President Lincoln did require of the bends of
the different Departments their opinion in
writing ns to both the constitutionality and
expediency of the bill “ for the admission of
the State of West Virginia into the Union.”
And such opinions were given by all of them,
except only Mr. Caleb B. Smith, (who had
then vacated, or was about to Vacate, his of
fice of Secretary of the Interior.)
That transaction took place in the few
last days of the year 1862. My own official
opinion bears date on the 27th of December,
1S02, and the President approved and
signed the bill on the last day of that
year.
I have occasion to remember those trans
actions very distinctly, for I took a very live
ly interest in the question; and, indeed, it
was upon my own suggeslion that President
Lincoln demanded our written opinions. I
urged upon him the advantage of written
oven oral communications on a subject so im
portant, and chiefly upon these two groufids:
1. They constitute valuable muniments of the
passing history ot the Government; and 2.
They operate as a reasonable and wholesome
check upon us, the advisers ot the President.
The questions put by the President were iu
the most brief and compendious form, thus
“1. Is the said act constitutional ? 2. Is the
said act expedient t” To these two questions
we all gave to the President our written
answers; and I can only express »ny surprise
that they should have been so long withheld
from publication, seeing that they touch
upon a principle of the greatest magnitude,
and bear directly upon a question winch has
produced great excitement in Congress and in
the nation.
I have the only copy of thosc documents
that I know of in private hands; but no
doubt they may be found in the proper de
positories at Washington. And in regard to
your suggestion as to what thosc opinions
may contain concerning tlic legal and politi-
cafstatus ot States in rebellion, (as I have no
time now either to analyze the opinions or to
copy them,) I can only say that not one of
them contains a single paragraph tending to
the conclusion that a State Ordinance of Se
cession, or the fact ot open rebellion within a
State, did or could take a State out of the
Union. The very contrary was assumed us
undisputed doctrine, and argued upon ns a
postulate. In fact, I did not know a Repub
lican of that day, in Congress or in the Exe
cutive Department, who pretended to believe
that a State could withdraw itself from the
Union by secession or rebellion, or both to
gether. We all considered an ordinance
of secession a mure nullity in law and
politics, and rclxillion a personal crime,
punishable by law. It never was the
doctrine of the Republican party in Mr. Liu
coin’s life-time, and, I believe, is not now, that
a State can get out of the Union by secession
and rebellion. That is a late invention of a
few enterprising, extreme Radicals, who have
labored in vain to fasten it upon the Repub
licans as one of their tenets. President Lin
coin and both houses of Congress, hy their
repeated solemn acts are pledged to tiie con
trarv. They passed the West Virginia Bill
which, according to the plain provisions o
the Constitution, could not have been passed
unless Virginia were a State in the Union,
with a Legislature capable of consenting to
the dismemberment. The President, with
the advice and consent of the Senate, did all
he could to extend the judiciary system of
the United States into States which had
passed ordinances of secession, apd,whose
people stood in open rebellion, by appoint
ing District Judges in Virginift, Tennessee,
Alabama, Florida and Louisiana. And both
houses of Congress admitted members from
Virginia, Tennessee and Louisiana.
I remain, dear sir, with cordial regards,
your friend, Edward Bates.
Wit-ami Htintur.
Wit was originally u general name for all
the intellectual powers, meaning the faculty
which kens, perceives, knows, understands;
it was gradually narrowed in its signification
to express merely the resemblance between
ideas; and lastly, to note that resemblance
when it occasioned ludicrous surprise. It
marries ideas lying wide apart by a sudden
jerk of the understanding. Humor origi rally
meant moisture, a signification it metaphor-

Governor Worth, of North Caro
lina, to the Frecdmcn.
Delegates from different portions of North
Carolina to an educational convention oi co
lored people met at Raleigh last Monday
and continued in session throughout the week
On Wednesday they were addressed by Gov.
Worth, as follows:
“I have come here, upon your invitation,
to give you by my presence what counte
nance and cncou *agemcnt Ijcould, having uu
derstood that all your proceedings were con
ducted in a becoming and orderly manner,
was not notified that any remarks were ex
pected from me, till your President
just informed me. The few words
I shall say are unpremeditated.—
“In the first place, let me assure you that
am disposed to do everything I can, as a cit
izen and as Governor, to protect you in all
your rights, and to encourage to you be
industrious, to educate your children,’and to
make yourselves respectable and happy; and
while you may expect my protection while
you do right, I shall be equally ready to have
those punished who do wrong - .
“You are very poor. Your first care should
be, by industry and economy, to provide
good supplies of meat and bread, and devote
all you can spare to educate your children
and remember that it is tbc common interest
of both races that no enmity be allowed to grow
up between tbem. As far as I know, the gen
eral feeling of your late masters is kind to
ward you. The whites feel that they owe
you a debt of gratitude for quiet and order
ly coBdnct during the war, and you slioul en
deavor so to act os to keep up this kindly
feeling between the two races.
Let me advise you not to meddle with gov
ernmental affairs. You know how few of
your race are now capable of understanding
matters of this sort, and you see the strifes
and troubles in which party politics have in
volved the whites. Avoid politics. Practice
industry, virtue, and cultivate tho kind feel
ing which now exists between the two races,
and you will thus acquire competence and
elevate your condition.
Sanders and Gen. Toombs.—George Wil
kins Kendall, of the Picayune, in a recent let
ter from Paris to his paper, thus alludes to
the above named Confederates:
I stumbled upon George N. Sanders, yesterj
day. His hair is as long and as bushy as of
old; his countenance as mild and as placid
as though the cards were running in his favor.
It he lias been gagged at all in Paris, it has
been with good living. He gets enough to
eat in Paris, does George—probably three
meals a day. He speaks well of Horace Grce
ley—much better than he does of other folks
~ could mention. He talks of going to Rus
sia, but on what mission I cannot say. He
will always find friends, go where he will.
I have also seen Gen. Toombs, and many
of our Southern people here; and os I have
said about Sanders, all seem to begetting
along. Gen. Toombs, ifT am rightly inform
ed, intends going home this winter, and so do
many others who are in the same boat with
him. -. .

ple of such cruelty and to show that it is jnst
as well to be charitable in any quarter of the

from tlic St. Paul. (Minnesota) Press •
“ Inhuman.—This community has been

They were consequently ordered by tbe chief
of police to remove their humble building,
which was done. Having no other place to
erect it, and receiving no aid or advice from
the board of health, who were advised of the
pitiable condition of these poor people, they
were forced out of town, and for several days
have been lying out on thp prairie, near the
Lake Como road, houseless, shelterless, hun
gry, sick and dying 1 These arc the naked
facts, and a greater case of hardship, brutali
ty and wickedness has never been laid at the
door of iiny set of incompetent officials!”
We will never cease to advise our people to
bo kind to the freed people, for several reas-
sons. 1st: On the score of common human
ity. 2d : On the score of Christian sympathy.
3d ; Because wc are anxiousto prove that we
arc better than the negro and his Northern,
so-called, protector. 4th: To disgruntle the
miserable spawn of spies and spinsters who
come down here like evangelical locusts.—
Wc urge, then, strict justice and charity to
ward the freed people. But, if either mili
tary or civil authorities are disposed to make
capital nut of Columbia or Henry county out
rages, we will undertake to match every
crime of this kind with three equally heinous
in the North against the negro and. fifty
against the whites.
Our disposition however, is not to seek
such controversy. It is but sad work, at best.
Still, we deem it proper to sound a note of
warning to the ill-advised and captious. To
men like Tillson and S teed tin: n such remarks
cannot apply, as a general thing. But, there
are slimy hypocrites, brought hero in their
train, who, oblivious of tlie beam in tkiirown
eyes, strive to dislodge the mote from ours.

The Lost Steamship Evening Star a
Death Trap.—The New York correspond
ent of tlic Charleston Courier says the feeling
of that city against the owners of the lost
steamship is that of intense indignation. “It
was notorious,” says the writer, “chat she was
unseawortby; that a part of her hull was
rotton; that she was inefficiently manned,
and she was short of boats. Last January
the passengers to New Orleans had an in
dignation meeting on board and denounced
the Company for their meanness in providing
for the comfort and safety of their customers.
Yet in spite of all this the Company contin
ued to run the death trap, and knowingly
hurried into the jaws of destruction the three
hundred hnman beings who went to pieces
with the ship in the gale of last week. The
newspapers are urging tho relatives of the
victims to prosecute the company for dam
ages. Theie is no question that there was
culpable neglect, and there is hot a jury in
the land but would grant the plaintifls a heavy
verdict.”'
|3f The exodus of negroes from our

hard times, a man might be excused for do
ing almost anything for pay, but we hope re
spectable white folks will reflect about this
matter, before engaging in the business.—
Apart from the morals of the trafic as car
ried on, the country here needs all the labor
it can get, and cacli able bodied hand taken
off, is a reduction of a certain amount of the
products of the earth, besides leaving their
helpless oilspring to the objects of. our chari
ty. The people should look into this mat

Petroleum as a Motor.—A company has
been formed in Memphis to test tho applica
tion of petroleum to the uses of steamboats.
It is to bo used instead of coal and wood for
fuel, and all the cooking on the boats is to
be done with petroleum stoves. Tho boat is
to be not less than fifty-horse power. If suc
cessful, it will save one-third of the space of
the boat usually occupied by fuel, while the
lightness of tbe tuel will admit of much
lighter draft, and be of great utility in shal
low waters.

Troubles with the Coolies—Frequent
revolts are reported among the Coolies in
Cuba. On the 28th ult., they killed the fore

violent that they do not hesitate to avenge

their revenge escapes, they often commit
suicide from sheer desperation. Numerous
instances are recorded where several, who
had been punished by the Major Domo, or
overseer, have hanged themselves in a group!
