The Emperor Napoleon Defl- MNG HIS POSITION. 1 1 he following are the closing remarks of the ' Emperor Napoleon’s communication of the ( Corps Legislatin': Hitherto moderation lias been the rule of mv conduct, but now energy becomes my first du ty. Franco must now to arms; and I resolute ly tell Europe I wish not for conquests, but 1 j am determined firmly to maintain my nation al and traditional policy. I observe treaties on condition that they are not violated against me. I boldly avow my sympathies with a people , whose history is mingled with our own, and who now groan under foreign oppression.— , France has shown her hatred for anarchy.— . Her will was to give me power sufficient to re- ( thice into subjection the abettors of disorder j and the incorrigible members of the old fac tions who jncessantly have been concluding , compacts with our enemies. But she has not for that purpose abandoned j her civilizing character. Her natural allies have always been those who desire the ame lioration of the human race; and when she draws the sword, it is not to govern—but to free ! The object, then, of this war is to restore j Italy to herself—not to impoee upon her a change of masters; and we shall then have . upon our frontiers a friendly people, who will ■ owe to us their independence. We do not enter Italy to foment disorder or ' disturb the power of our Holy Father,whom we replaced upon hik throne, but to remove 1 Ivin him this foreign pressure, which burdens the whole peninsula; to help to establish or der there, based upon lawful and satisfied in 1 LelestS. We enter this classic ground, rendered illus trious by so many victories, to seek the foot •k ps of our fathers. God ip-ant we may be .worthy of them 1 I am about to place myself at the head of the army. 1 leave to France the Empress and m. -on. Seconded by the experience and en iiL'htineiit of the last Emperor’s surviving bro th- r. she will understand how to show herself soi'tliyolt e grandeur of her mission. I con ide them to the valor of the army which re mah «in France to keep a watch upon onr frontiers and guard our homes. I confide them to the patriotism of onr National Guard. I confide them, in a word, to the entire people, wl <i will encircle them with that affection aud devotedness of which I daily receive so many proofs. Courage, then, and union! Our country is ibmit tos-how the world she has not degener •ti 'l. T’rovidence will bless our efforts, for t mit can -I- is holy in the eye of God which rests on justice, humanity, love of country and independence I Spain. A private letter from Madrid of the 2f>th <•; - mating from a member of the Liberal arty, say- that public opinion there is favor able t i Italy, and would see with pleasure a Spanish contingent join the Franco-Italian ar my. just as it was desired that it should take part in the operations in the Crimea, side by side with England and Franco. The Court of Madrid (it goes on to say) ■ ul'i desire to intervene on behalf of the Pope; ; ut. in the meantime, it is with the govern ment in obseffi ing neutrality. The Ministers are then decided on neutrality. They say that family pact and alliance have been fatal to Spain : that they will remain strictly neutral, ami leave the nations to get out of the war t.s be-t they may. I do not doubt that Spain will maintain this attitude long as'she can. I suppose that if the Emperor Napoleon , tries to make her do otherwise, she will seek the support of England in maintaining it ; but I if perchance France and England act in con cert Spain will follow both. In the meantime the Nunchio frequently confers with the Min isters of Foreign Affairs, and the latter with the English and French Ambassadors. Ido ti.it know what has passed between the Nuncio aud M. Ci llantes, but I can assure you that the latter has spoken to them of a project to bring the Pope to the Balearic Isles, where he . would reside at the expense of Spain. I doubt the Emperor’s allowing him to come here.— The project is the same as that of M. J/artin t ez de la Rosa, Ambassador to Spain at Romo in IH4B, during the revolution, when the Popo f fled from Rome to Gaeta. The Abmt Worm.—The Chattanooga Ga • zette says, we regret to learn that this destruc i ive plague has already made its appearance in ! this county, and is making sad havoc in the wheat fields and meadows. We arc informed of its appearance on several farms and in the ‘ wheat fields, entirely stripping the stalks, and t destroying the crops. Some fine meadows have been mowed down close to the ground scarcely leaving a sign that grass hail grown •it the land. The little destroyers arc increas ing in numbers, and migrating from farm to ■ farm. The prospect for the farmers in this i eeunty for the present year, is truly gloomy. . Many farmers are not yet done planting corfl —the wheat, grass and fruit crops destroyed— but a-very limited crop of oats sown, it will re quire more rigid economy and unceasing in dustry to make the two ends meet, until anoth er season. S _r , » NEW FLOVR. p Caru.icliael X Co. yesterday despatched a small - shipment cf llvur, ground at their min*, from now t wheat, gruan in this neighborhood, which will be ! awarded in steamer from Charleston to New York.

Peel.—We have already announced the recent demise, at Buffalo, of this clever and popular perfiriHer. We find the following facts in the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat, of the sth inst; The real name of the deceased was Matthew Flannery. He was horn at Brooklyn in 1829, and was, consequently, thirty years of age. — About 1847 he commenced his career as a pub lic performer in the Campbell Troupe, in com pany with Luke West and others. With the latter he was extremely iutimatc, and Wests death, which occurred very suddenly in Bos ton four years ago, affected him deeply. As we have seen. Peel’s last thought was of his friend. Together, Peel, with the bones and West with the tambourine, they were sufficient in themselves to give reputation for humor to the dullest troupe that ever traveled. Matt Peel aud Luke West are familiar names in ev ery part of the country, north, south, east and west. Mr. Peel was a genial companion and a thorough ‘‘good fellow.” Ho has a host of friends to mourn his loss. The immediate cause of his death was a disease of the heart, though he has been suffering from a pulmano ry affection for some time. Not long ago he was prostrated entirely by an attack of hemor rhage of the lungs, and compelled to desist from playing for several weeks. Negro Pastor for White People. A gentleman of Mississippi, who was form erly a resident of Giles county, in this State, has furnished us with the following statement, for the truth of which he vouches : “On Lynn Creek, Giles county, there is a Hardshell Baptist Church, supported by a number of wealthy communicants of that “per suasion,” who for several years past have had for their regular pastor a negro man, black as the ace of spades, named George —known as Old Georgd’ and belonging to the estate of one Matthew Bently, deceased.— George is said to be a most excellent man and a good preacher. Somethne ago, he had a no ted public discussion, lastingjfour days, with a white preacher, on the subject of Baptism, from which the white man is said to have come off (if any difference) ‘second best.’ The Church'wants to buy George, but he is unwil ling to te sold out of his master’s family, and is withal a regular Southern pro-slavery par son. George is the ‘preacher in charge’ of a large congregation, nearly all of whom are slaveholders, and who pay him a salary of S6(K) or 8700 for his pastorial services.”— Grand Junction ( Tbnn.) Quid Nunc. This calls to mind an instance of a negro preaching to white congregations which came under our observation in our boy days in the vicinity of Huntsville, Ala. The Rev. Mr. Allen of the Presbyterian denomination, a man cf fine literary attainments and the principal ofthe “Green Academy,” in Huntsville, at that time, owned a negro servant whom he had edr’nted, and who. shelving a pious disposi tion andinclinaticMi topreach, he instructed in divinity. When parson Allen would go out froi't home to preach on Saturdays *aud Sun days i.e took the boy with him as body servant. They occupied the pulpit together, and the ne gro frequently gave out the hymn and offered up the opening prayer, and after the master concluded his «rmon, often closed the service with an exhortation. After a few years, he frequently took the minister’s place in the pul pit, and in case of his master’s indisposition filled his appointments. He often preached in Huntsville to full and anxious congregations ; and it finally became a matter of dispute as to which was the best preacher.— Col. Sun. CnE.trLANDS in Alabama. —A subscriber to the Southern Cultivator, writing from the neighborhood of Yalhermoso Springs, Morgan county, says: "You are perhaps not aware that largo bod ies es good land may be obtained here at low rates; such lands as will make from 6 to 10 ( barrels of corn, and from 1000 to 1500 pounds of cotton per acre. On the mountain plateau , dividing North and South Alabama, (from 60 to 80 miles across,) soil dark sandy loam, and ■which contains superior smaller bodies of black land iu the bottoms, land may yet be entered at 121 ■eents per acre. This is tn my opinion one of fraoi?t countries for stock farms in the Sontla The fruit crop never fails there. Do send us soineof your thinking Georgia fanners, t o give the n ; rtives here some lessons in agri culture.” _ Camden Jockey Clyb.—The Camden (S. C.) Jockey Club, as we learn from the Journal, recently made the following election: President—-CW. T. J. Ancmm. Vice Pre sidents—John Mcßae, Dr. C. J. Shannon, Col. Frank Hampton, Gen. P. 11. Nelson.
