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. [ Memphis Avalanche 1 '1th. 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 n ’ iv.j» MvOLUl— —— ~ Ailnr onomj; 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. f X. Y. Herald. 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. a writer recentlv affirmed that no
