IM PORT AN T IN T E L LIG E NOE.
New York papers received at the
Courier office bring later details attd reve
lations of European news of great inter-
.est. Begging our readers to remember
that all reports coming for or through New
Y ork Lincoln journals concerning South
ern affairs in Europe, must be judged with
discreet allowance, we select the following
particulars:
Paris Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.
Paris, June 17, 1S61.—Last Friday
evening, just before mailing my letter to
the lierald, I saw in the Patrie, semi
official, the following note communicated
by the Government. 1 hesitated at send
ing it, although it deeply concerns the
United States, as it was not certain
whether the Government would recognize
the note as exactly the expression of its
sentiments. There have been so many
such semi-official notes, afterwards con
tradicted by the official organ when a pur
pose was gained by the first publications,
that you will understand my hesitation.
But now all doubt is ended: the Monitenr
reproduces the note, and it thus assumes
the greatest importance. You will see
that the note bears upon the recognition
of the new Kingdom of Italy, but that to
us its termination is fraught with the
greatest importance. The Monitenr says:
Is is stated positively that negotiations
will he opened for the re-establishment of
diplomatic lelations between France and
Turin. If they should end satisfactorily,
they will lead to the de facto recognition
of the Kingdom of Italy, composed of
provinces and .States which have been
placed under the sceptre of King Victor
Emanuel, after events on which France
has not now to express her opinion, but
which have been accomplished under favor
of the principle of non-intervention re
cognized by Europe. The resumption of
diplomatic relations with Turin, would not
imply on the part of France, on the sub
ject of the policy of the Italian kingdom,
any judgment on the past, or any solidar
ity tor the future. It would prove that
the. de facto government of this new State
is sufficiently established to enable France
to keep up with it those international rela
tions which the interests of the two coun
tries imperiously require. France, by her
new attitude, does not mean to interfere in
anyway in the foreign or domestic affairs
of the Italian kingdom, which remains the
sole judge of its own conduct, as it is
master of its future and of its destinies;
she will act towards it as the great Euro
pean powers will one day do in the Ameri
can question, by recognizing tiie new Re
public of the Southern States, when that
Republic shall have constituted a govern
ment founded on bases which will allow of
international relations advantageous for the
general interest.
Nothing could . he plainer, and the
YVashington government can but at once
notice such a breach of honesty and goon
faith towards it.
The fact is, France was beginning to
feel less inclined to act Lostilely towards
theU. S. when came the news that slaves
were to be confiscated as contraband of
war. That this would virtually fiee the
slaves was at once understood here, and
IB6)i*c YDiU'ifcuiU'Yn.’ latter govern-
to the Emperor Napoleon upon the loss
that French and English commerce w'ould
surely suffer in case the cotton crop fails,
which, of course it will do the moment the
negroes begin their exodus. It is no use
concealing the fact that the Southern
Commissioners are now more likely to pre
vail, they having got hold of an argument
that will cause both this government and
that of England to listen to them with
more complacency.
When I had written thus far I acci
dentally' met with a distinguised English
statesman who has been recently here,
and is tlioroughiy posted as to the inten
tions of France and England touching this
very question. He has communicated to
me intelligence the most startling, and to
which 1 have every' reason to give full
credence—intelligence which accounts for
the appearance of the note in the Mnn-
iteur, and furnishes the key’ to its mean
ing-
Y r our affairs are exciting the deepest in
terest in every' court of Europe; but the
master spirit who controls European rela-
tains with America is the Emperor of the
French, and the hostility against the
United States, and the sympathy with the
South, exhit ited by* the English Govern
ment, and its organs did not originate at
the Court of St. James, but at the Tuil-
leries. In America you have been abus
ing England as standing alone in her
secret hostility; but not only is she not
alone in but she is not even the motive
power. France, or rather the Emperor, is
the power behind the English throne
greater than the throne, urging England
forward, as well as Spain, in a crusade
against the United States. As in the
Crimean campaign, and the Chinese war,
so now, in the disruption ot the American
republic, France and England are allies;
but France will be sure to be the most
conspicuous and prominent figure on the
cliess board of war. The sources of
French policy' are twofold—one is of a
politico religious nature, and the other is
commercial and financial. It is well known
that the Empress Eugenie is intensely
Catholic in her ideas, and is under the
dominion of the church. The Em
press, moreover, is a Spaniard, and is de
votedly' attached to the (^ueen of Spain,
who is, also, a most zealous Catholic, and
controlled by the priesthood. The desire
of the Spanish Queen is to recover all the
ancient possessions of Spain in America,
including Mexico, where the Catholic re
ligion is in danger of being extinguished,
and the pious aspiration to restore it,
prompted by Holy Mother Church, Eu
genie advances by r her influence over the
Emperor, who has promised to hack up
Spain in her aggressions. Hence the siul-
deu boldness of that Bower in not only-
taking possession of Domingo, but claim
ing the Chincha and Lobos Islands, thus
foreshadowing her designs even upon the
North American continent. The tone of
the Madrid press is most defiant. The fol-
lowing, which I translate from the Crouica
of June 1, is well worthy of your atten
tion and that of your Governmet.
Now that there is a government which
looks favorably on territorial acquisitions,
which lias brought to a conclusion the an
nexation of St. Domingo, and has taken
possession of the islands of Fernando Po
and Annobon, which we had forgotten, we
deem it opportune to remember that in the
Pacific and along the Peruvian coast we
have the Chincha and Lobos Islands, more
generally known by the name of Guano
Islands; and wo say we have becanse,
although Peru possesses them, they have
never ceased to belong to us, and Spain
continues to be their real owner. It would
be very desirable that they be reclaimed
in a definite manner, and that our nation
•hould acquire with them not only the im
portance which their possession would give
them in South America, lmt the immense
wealth which those islands produce, and
which is to-day the chief branch of the
revenue of the Peruvian Government.
The government which has attended so
well to our interests in St. Domingo and
Fernando Po, should fix its attention on
this matter.
Such are the schemes of Spanish ag
grandizement, founded on the breaking up
of your great republic and its supposed
inability to offer resistance to European
encroachments. With France to sustain
her, Spain is confident of success, and the
Emperor, by way of a setoff to his over
throw of the temporal power of the Pope in
Italy, intends to sustain her, and thus
effectually to aid the Catholic religion in
the New World.
The other motive which influences the
American policy of Napoleon is still more
selfish and direct. France, without cot
ton, would Le worse off' than England, for
the latter can manage to get a partial sup
ply from her own colonies; hut if France
does not get it from America, she cannot
get it at all, and such would be the distress
of the large class who lived upon the
manufacture of this fabric, and such the
commercial and financial ruin which must
result, that the whole country, perhaps,
would be involved in revolution. Eng
land is in the same predicament, and from
a common interest spring their mutual
sympathy and alliance. Commerce con
trols the foreign policy’ of France. It
controls also still more the foreign policy’
of England. Napoleon operates on Bright
and Cobden and the leading spirits of the
Manchester school, who procured from
him the treaty of commerce with England;
and they, in turn, operate upon their own
government. The result is the armament
sent to Canada and the fleets despatched
to our own waters. The Emperor puts her
forward first, and then appears to follow
her lead. She goes forward first, because
she is the most constitutional and free of
European Powers. The design is un
doubtedly' to break the blockade. Hence
agents of France arc now buying both
tobacco and cotton in the blockaded
States. Napoleon, with his usual reticence
and sagacity, did not commit himself till
he saw North and South of your republic
fairly pitted against each other in the
field. Had he declared this purpose be
fore, it might have alarmed American
statesmen, and they might have settled
their troubles.
It is the desire of the Emperor, in com
mon with every crowned head in Europe,
to sec the republic broken up beyond the
possibility of reuniting. As long as it
flourished it would be a standing reproach
and menace to their despotisms. It is
true that the present course of the Emperor
towards America is contrary to the tradi
tional policy' of France, which has ever
been friendly to the United States. But
this is new phase of Napoleonism. The
sympathies of the French people, as well
as of those of England, are with the United
States, but their governments are un
doubtedly against you. That there is an
accord between them is evident front the
observations of the organs of the British
government, hinting that the Emperor
ought to look more carefully after the
editing of his journals, and prevent them
1 Since 0, 'with England. The advantages
which Napolean expects to acrue to him
are, first, France will get Cotton, her
artisans will be kept from starving and
general bankruptcy, and revolution will
be prevented; secondly, the Emperor ex
pects a fair division of the spoils on this
continent if the United States should be
permanently broken up, and thirdly, he
can pursue unmolested his schemes in the
East.
All now depends on the action of Presi
dent Lincoln’s Cabinet and the prompt
measures of our representatives abroad
1 do not know whether Mr. Dayton has
addressed any remonstrance to the Em
peror Napoleon’s government for the pub
lication of the above note That he
should do so is evident. It is a matter of
great necessity, and one that cannot be too
firmly' impressed upon the government,
that all blockades should be effectual.
The United States should at once at any
expense arm and equip a powerful navy.
Y ou mnst not be weak. It is this weak
ness which injuries your cause in Europe.
The struggle that must come on your side
sooner or later is underrated here, because
time has passed, and as yet, as the London
journals sneeringly say, “No blood has
been spilled.” People in Europe are used
to standing armies, to rapid revolutions of
troops, and to the ending of campaigns in
less time than it has taken you to get pre
pared for the commencement of a struggle,
which will be a most dreadful one, and of
a nature not comprehended here. The
vast distances to be overcome and the
enormous amount of coast to blockade are
not taken in consideration here unless it be
to assert that the South must succeed.
The rebels is a term not used, although
it is so well understood that the govern
ment of President Lincoln is determined
to assert the power of the Union. No
midway measure will suffice; a demonstra
tion of force on a grand scale must be made,
and above all you must have a formidable
navy. That you have none is a source of
gratification to France and England, too
significant not to warn you that you must
set up a most powerful one. To prevent
interference, the United States Govern
ment must display to the world that enor-
ikor.s might and power it really possesses.
* P. S.—1 am sorry to say that I have
just learned that the portion of the note I
send with this, relative to the Southern
States, is an exiract from a circular of Mr.
ThouvenePs, addressed to the different
representatives of France in Europe, with
instructions to communicate it to the Gov
ernments they are accredited to.
I am not positive that this is the case,
but fear it is true, as I have it from a source
usually well informed.
Many intimations of like import are
given in correspondence from other writers
and places.

Our Home Should be Beautiful.—Not
only' should we cultivate such tempers as
serve to render the intercourse of home
amiable aud affectionate, but we should
strive to adorn it with those charms which
good sense and refinement so easily im
part to it. YVe say easily, for there are
persons who think that a home cannot be
beautiful without a considerable outlay of
money’. Such people are in error. It
costs but litle to have a neat flower garden,
and to surround your dwelling with those
simple beauties which delight the eye far
more than expensive objects. Nature de
lights in beauty* She loves to brighten
tbe landscape and make it agreeable to
the eye. She hangs ivy around the ruin,
and over the stump of a withered tree
twines the graceful vine. A thousand
arts she practises to animate the sense and
please the mind. Follow her example, and
do for yourself what she is always labor
ing to do for yon.
.1 Confab bet tree n Old Abe <tnd Old
Scott.—A gentleman recently arrived from
New York, relates a conversation which,
as was reported in Gotham when he left,
took place a few days ago between Abe
Lincoln, L L. D., and Uld Fuss and
Feathers, during which the gouty' old sol
dier told the King of all Abolitionists a
most unpalatable truth. It seems that
Abraham and Winfield were riding to
gether. reviewing the Y'ankee mercenaries
in the Federal capital, when the former
remarked to the latter, “General, this is a
splendid army—amisrhtij large army, and
costs the Government daily a heap of
money; but why is it remaining here idle ?
Y’ou once penetrated to the capital of Mexi
co in three months, with one-fifth of the
force that you now have under your com
mand; why do you not push on into Vir
ginia and take possession of the capital of
the. rebellious Old Dominion V “Ah,” re
plied old Scott, “the reason is plain and
palpable: The men trim carried me to
Mexico are. the same that are. now keeping
meant if Virginia.— Charleston Courier.
Glotinus News.—Our fellow citizen,
Capt. J. C. McLanns, the owner of the
Vicksburg Mail Line of steamers, left New
Orleans on Tuesday and arrived in this
city yesterday. He states that a despatch
had been received from the Berwick’s Bay
to the effect that tbe C. fc>. YY"ar steamer
Sumter, (Japt. Raphael Semmes, (an ac
count of whose running the blockade last
week wc published,) had returned, bring
ing fijty Thousand Edgefield Rifles, to
gether with other accoutrements, and a
large number of rifled cannon.
It seems that the Sumter met near Cuba
an English vessel who was on her way to
New Orleans with the arms, which had
been ordered previously. They’ were
transferred to the Sumter, and that vessel
had arrived at the halize in safety, It is a
fete that will reflect great credit upon the
gallant officers who accomplished it, and
it shows how “effective” Lincoln’s block
ade is.
The same gentleman informs us that
over ten thousand, hogsheads of tobaero
were disposed of in New Orleans in one
day during last week. The tobacco is in
tended for the French market, and the
French purchasers paid for it in gold, in
stead of bills, as heretofore. This infor
mation, we believe, can he relied upon.
The tobacco must be taken to France, aud
will go there in French bottoms. If old
Abe’s vessels undertake to prevent it, the
distinguised railsplitter will have a tight
upon his hands in which “somebody” will
be hurt.

Gen. Johnston at Winchester Again.—
Gen. Johnston, says the Richmond Dis
patch, has resumed his original position at
Winchester.—This place is the comman
ding stratagic point of all that country.
He moved forward from it to meet Pat
terson, hut that General fell back into
Martinsburg to await reinforcements.
Having the protection of the town as a
fortification, and its women and children
as a shield he lies secure. Johnston, with
his far inferior force, did not feel justified
in attacking, and Winchester beiug the
common converging point of several roads,
he has felt bound to fall back upon that

might get into his rear. He thus gains
the advantage of chosing his own fighting
ground against a superior force, and places
his adversary- at the disadvantage of ma
king the attack. Snrely after so many
efforts to get a fight out of the enemy
without success, our General may be ex
cused for resuming bis best position.
Great. Fire in Manchester.—A fire of the
most alarming character took jdace on the
14th of June, at. an India rubber mill and
reed-maker’s establishment in Ancoats-
vills. Manchester. Property to the val
ue of JA2,000 was destroyed by'the fire;
and more serious still one man was killed
and three others injured. Another fire of
disastrous magnitude occurred in Au-
eoats on the loth. With the exception ol'
the foundry, the whole of the extensive
works of Messrs. Parr, Curtis tfcMadeley,
machine makers, were reduced to a mass
of ruins property to the value of perhaps,
€80,000, being destroyed. Several ac
cidents took place to persons either con
nected with the establishment or engaged
in endeavoring to check the conflagration,
but we are glad to say- that no lives were
lost. A sad feature of the terrible occur
rence is the fact that throws from 1,700
to 1,800 work-people, out of employment.
The loss sustained by Messrs. Parr, Curtis
& Madeley is only’ partially’ covered by
insurance. On the 19th, flames were seen
issuing from an extensive cotton waste
warehouse in Miller’s Lane, occupied by
Mr. S. Adams, Messrs. S. and J. Chad
wick aud Mr. F. Stone. The damage is
estimated at from :J,000 to €4,000.
How to get Repose in Old Age.—I strong
ly recommend to you to follow the ana
logy of the body in seeking the refresh
ment of the mind. Everybody knows
that both man and horse are very’ much
relieved and rested, if, instead of lying
down and falling asleep, or endeavoring
to fall asleep, he changes the muscles he
puts iu operation; if instead of the level
ground he goes up and down hill, it is a
rest both to the man and the horse which
he rides—a different set of muscles are
called into action. So, Isay, call intu ac
tion a different class of faculties, apply
your minds to other objects of wholesome
good to yourselves as well as of good to
others, and depend upon it that is the
true mode of geting repose in old age.
Do not overwork yourselves ; do every
thing in moderation.—Lord Brougham.
Farmer’s Tools.—A certain number of
tools, and some skill in their use, will of
ten save the farmer much time in sending
for a mechanic, and some expense in pay
ing him. Every’ fanner should be able to
make repairs on his wagons, gates, build
ings, &c. A room, or portion of a room,
shonld he devoted to keeping these tools;
a pin or nail should he inserted for each
one to hang on, and the name of each tool
writteu or painted under the pin, that it
may he promptly returned in its place, and
any missing one detected. Keep every
tool in its place—do not wait fora more
convenient season, but return every one
to its pin the moment it is done with. If
left out of place a minute, it will be like
ly to remain a week, and cause a loss of
time in looking for it a hundred times great
er than in replacing it promptly*. Keep
ing every thing in its place is a habit, cost
ing nothing when formed. The tools
should be, a hammer, saw. augurs, brace
and bits, gimlets, screw driver, wrench, two
planes, chisels, mallet files and rasp, saw-
set, trowel, and a box with compartments
for different sized nails, screws, nuts, bolts,
&c. Common farm implements and tools,
spades, shovels, forks, rakes, scythes, &c..
may be in the same room, on tbe opposite
side, and the same precaution taken to
keep every oae in its place.
Enterprise.
Nothing more completely demonstrates
the emasculating effect upon .us of our
latej and too long relations with the North,
than our lack of marine enterprise. We
have no shipping; no sailors. In the
Revolution, and before the Revolution,
and up to the time when the new Consti
tution was adopted, Charleston had a
marine which was inferior to nothing iu
the North. Even in 1815 the enterprise
of Charleston sailors, ships aud capital,
was wonderful. We sent out a cloud of
privateers upon the ocean, most ot which
were singularly successful, the Saury Jack
being the most remarkable of all success
es ; a regular sea guerilla. The capture
of the Dominica by the Decatur was a
Charleston enterprise; the captor of the
Dominica being a Charleston Frenchman.
Then the thing to be done ; the enter
prise ; was undertaken at a bound ; a no
ble impulse, eon a mote, carried forward
the privateer, and the whole popular soul
seemed to be in it. A few hardy’ fellows
met in a sail-loft. Each brought an old
rusty cutlass and perhaps a horseman’s
pistol; a lazy-looking hulk lay in some
obscure dock; a half-eaten “Long Tom”
was fished up from the corner of the Pic-
quit Guard Honse; credit was got for a
few barrels of gunpowder: a few cords of
ball and grape; certain barrels ofbiscuit
and junk beef; and tbe lazy-looking, long,
low, Hack-sided craft, might be seen steal
ing out, between night and morning, and
making her way to the highway of the
commercial nations. There was little fuss
made in the affair ; and just as little cap
ital provided. The preliminaries were
few ; the preparations modest; the time
consumed in port was narrowed down to a
point. It was not a calculation of prize
money wholly that moved these old sea
dogs. There was ardor, and patriotism,
and a certain sleepless sentiment of cour
age that required them to he up and do
ing. There were few or no fresh water
sailors. The marines were something of a
jest. The sailors knew their business,
and they did it. YVe can remember some
of the prizes which they* brought in be
tween 1812 and 1S15. Briefly, they had
enthusiasm, were eager, and knew how to
work a ship to the best advantage. Had
we not been defrauded of our share iu the
commerce of the Confederacy’, Charleston
could now muster two thousand of these
old sea dogs.
We grant that steam has worked a rev-
olntionin the business of the sea. That it
is not so easy now for sailing craft to make
headway against steam. But, had we the
sailors, we shonld have all sorts of craft in
preparation, and there would not be one of
these river steamers who would not have a
marine battery hitched on to her, fore and
aft, with guns heavy enough to make the
Merrimac open her sides, and the Wabash
roar, and even the Xiagara feel uneasy in
her ribs and diaphragm. We note that
the Columbia and James Adger, and Mari
on, and South Carolina, and Massachusetts,
all belonging to the private commercial
lines, have been adapted and are prepared
or preparing in the gun-boat service of
Pacha Lincoln. Our State authorities,
for a brief period, tried to do something
with the Marion. Their error was in try
ing to use her for a harbor steamer- YY'hat
nrevents our use of the Nashville for sea
service 1 Cannot her sides be strengthen
ed with iron ? Cannot beds for heavy-
cannon be laid along her decks I Cannot
these decks be made flush, taking oft' the
hurricane deck, and will she not carry her
six or eight guns as well as the James Ad
ger 1 Why should she not be brought in
to the Confederate States service, and pre
pared for sea, against the same class of
vessels which Abraham Lincoln is employ
ing for our subjugation ? Nine in ten of
his blockading vessels are of this very de
scription. Enterprise, enthusiasm, and
moral courage and energy, must enable us
to make up the difference in material re
sources between us and our enemy. The
Nashville, the Lady Davis, and two or
three of our harbor steamers, supporting
floating batteries, might do first rate mid
night service between Charleston and Sa
vannah. Closely’ pressed, they have am
ple shelt"!- under the Beaufort batteries.
Cool seamanship, determined courage,
good officers and a resolute will to do, with
a few guns of heavy calibre, may he made
to work wonders. But for the seamen ?
An eager impulse, a daring enthusiasm, a
patriotic unselfishness, must be at the bot
tom of the work. It is in the gush of
blood under these influences, that we get
gallant volunteers and dashing privateers ;
men who know no fears—who do not stop
to measure the probabilities of war by
square and compass. Y\"e cannot reduce
enterprises to calculation. The moment
y-on calculate too closely all the ardor
cools. Measuring shares and per centages
on prize money’—counting the chickens
before the eggs are laid, are all fatal to
enterprise. We must begin to take prizes
before we talk about shares and profits
If we had the seamen and the enterprise
we could most surely capture all the mer
chant steamers hired by the Abolitionists
to obstruct our commerce; aye, and their
California galleons also. Of the big war
ships hereafter. No vessel should attempt
to run the blockade without men and
guns. A few determined men, and a few
heavy guns in shoal water, would make
it easy work with the privateers to man
age the slight craft that are engaged to
keep the run between Charleston and Sa
vannah. No doubt that steam makes a
great difference between 1815 and 18G1.
But steam reuuires coaling, and our pri
vateers must watch their time, and calcu
late the necessary periods for the absence
of the blockading steamers, .there is not
one in twenty of these blockading steam
ers that can stand three round shot of 12
pounds; and the capture of a few of these
vessels would soon put an end to the block
ade, they being much more efficient than
the regular vessels of war. In providing
against these, we also provide against the
gun-boats, which are so many coffins,
which Pacha Lincoln has in prepara
tion.
"With regard to tho war vessels.
The question first presents itself, can
we have marine batteries or not; and
what is their potency against ships of war?
The United States have not a single war
vessel plated with iron. We can plate
a dozen batteries with iron in three weeks
in Charleston. Our mechanics are equal
to the work. Each of these batteries can
carry from two to four gnus. Have we
got seamen to man them ? YY"c can get
volunteer marines, we suspect, in any
number. Suppose our harbor steamers
should, at nightfall, take out to the
neighborhood of the blockading fleet three
or four of these marine batteries ? Sup
pose, then, these steamers should fall
behind them, showing all the necessary
lights, and steering north or south, but
still keeping in the rear? The probabili
ties are that the blockading steamers
would fire up and pursue ! The marine
batteries would lie perdu—keep in dark
ness—until tbe enemy was upon them;
and then ! and then!
Briefly, we need enterprise. A brave,
capable man, now, would make fame ard
! fortune. Of course, we are not so well
prepared as our enemies, hut the consci
ousness of our own deficiencies should
stimulate enterprise and genius, and these
will supply many deticiences; while, on
the other hand, I he enemy, conscious of
his own superior and our inferior resources
will not be apt to call up enterprise or
genius, or even maintain good watch.—
He will treat his opponents witli contempt,
and be made to pay tor it! See what en
terprise and genius and courage nnd good
conduct have just achieved in the Y’irginia
waters, in the capture of the St. Nicholas
steamer by Hollins and Thomas, and one
of them in petiticoats ! There is nothing
impossible to genius when allied to cour-
ag«*.
Startling Xrw» from Europe—The Plil
ngain«t the I'nileil Mtaten. m
The highly important intelligence con
tained in our Paris letter confirms our
worst fears, and supplies a key to the note
in the Moniteur about American aftairs ;
and it further appears that this note is au
extract from an official circular to the oth
er European powers. It may, therefore,
be safely regarded as the programme of
the Emperor's policy.
From all tiie governments of Europe we
have received the strongest assurances of
friendship, and yet it is now very clear
that there is a conspiracy against the
United States among the crowned heads,
and its focus is the Tuileries. YVe have
been in the habit of regarding the English
government as our only enemy ; hut it
now seems that it is only playing a part
subordinate to the role of the Empe or of
the French. The people of both countries
warmly sympathize, with the l nited
States, but their governments meditate the
total destruction of the country, and prob
ably its partition, after the example ot
Poland. They treacherously put us off
our guard by professions of friendship,
while they secretly plot our ruin.
The Empress Eugenie, the Queen of
Spain and Holy Mother Church are in a
conspiracy which meditates the restora
tion of Spain of all the possessions she has
lost in the New YVorld, and the consequent-
triumph of Catholicism ; and to this
scheme there is good reason to believe the
Emperor lends himself, in order to com
pensate for his destruction of the temporal
power of the Pope in Italy. Then Fiance
must have cotton to sa.ve her artisans from
starving, her merchants from bankruptcy,
and the whole people from revolution.—
England can make some shift to get a lim
ited supply from her colonies, hut France
can only get cotton from America, where
alone grow the finer kinds which she uses.
There can be no doubt, therefore, that it
is her purpose, in alliance with England,
to break the blockade, if the war should
not be concluded before the demand for the
staple becomes pressing.
YVhat, therefore, is the true policy of
our government ? It is either to over
whelm the South by arms, and compel her
to submit before the foreign governments
have time to interfere, or to make peace
with her at once, in order to a junction of
the two armies against the foes of the
American people, aud in order to the es
tablishment of our empire over the whole
continent and its islands. YY hatever
course may he adopted, the need of prepar
ation on a scale of vast magnitude is ur
gent, and it will be necessary for Congress
to rise to the beighth of the danger, and
adopt such bold and vigorous measures as
the occasion demands. Already the com
bined fleets of England and France are
advancing to our coast, and the first instal
ment of a hostile army has sailed for our
Northern frontier. YVe shall soon see
ulieilier there is sufficient statesmanship,
patriotism and courage in Congress to meet
the double peril that looms up before it
from domestic treason on one hand and
foreign invasion on the other.

NEGRO MECHANICS.
Ed. Telegraph :—I write to call your
attention to an able article that I find in
one your exchanges, on the subject of Ne
gro Mechanics, written by Judge H. F.
Hopkins, of Mobile, Ala. The writer
assumes it to be a great error on the part
of slaveholders, to place their slaves at
the work bench to learn the mechanic arts.
His arguments are to my mind well found
ed, when he says:
“If it be desirable to preserve the pa
triarchal system of negro slavery now
subsisting at the South as the very best
basis of social order and of moral and
domestic integrity, which none may doubt
who has invoked wisdom and virtue in
pursuing the question, slaveholders should
allay this antagonism in their midst by
agreeing, through legislative action, to
confine the negro to the soil, thus to ele
vate and open up the mechanic trades to
the uon-slaveliolding people around them.
Dignity the trades to the level of the pro
fessions in the common acceptation, and
idling, loafing lounging, fox hunting, or in
other words, general dissipation of health,
energy and time among the young men of
the South, would almost entirely cease,
and their places substituted by general
busy industry. By confining the negro
to the soil, the mechanic would be at once
converted from an open secret enemy of
negro slavery into its finest advocate and
supporter, because he would feel himself
then lifted up in the solid scale ol' social
respectability, and maintained iu that po
sition by the subordinated negro, confined
exclusively’ to menial services. Before
the law and community, all white citizens
would stand srtictly’ ona footing of equal
ity and be alone distinguished by cour
tesy’ and merit.
1 know it to be the case that many
white mechanics have had good canso for
complainign of the antagonism of labor
growing out of the competition ot so un
pleasant companionship with negro me
chanics. He must work as cheap as the
slave, and associate in unnatural compe
tition, which is degrading, and entirely at
variance with our vaunted notion of the
superiority of the race. And the few
Southern born mechanics among us is am
ple proof that our young men of spirit
consider it degrading iu their own eyes,
and those of their associates.
The writer says, sensibly, “If we wish
to foster Southern manufactories, in which
the white men of the South are to seek
employment, we must encourage white me
chanics by removing the rivalry which
now confronts them in our servile popula
tion.” Confine negro labor to the cul
tivation of the soil, where it properly be
longs, and we will strengthen the “insti
tution ” ten fold, by the encouragement it
will give to the young, non-slavehoiding
young, of the South, whp are not able to
become planters, to become possessory of
the mechanic arts.
—Iw-
Pure Air.—It is now universally admit
ted that fresh airplays a more important
part in sustaining life than formerly sup
posed. The necessity of skillful ventila
tion, therefore ; of living as much as pos
sible out of doors; of preserving the air
of cities pure by drainage and sanitary
provisions, by avoiding miasmatic exhala
tions, and generally of securing a constant
supply of fresh air, are conceded points.
