| The only confederacy that would be
worth aught, or give general satisfaction,
would be one that would be sustained by
the populace. For Italy, as much distrac
ted and confused as she may appear to be,
has some rallying point around which the
masses will centre, despite the edicts
of Emperors, or Papal Bulls. It would
then seem that to make peace permanent,
it will require a reorganization of the Ital

Piedmont has been virtually put aside
and silenced by the French Emperor.—
Her claims have been overriden, her am

cluding the richest of the Italian provin
ces ; it is as a boon from France, not as a
conquest from Austria. Victor Emanuel
does not view it in this light
Certainly a treaty patched up within
an hour, and signed by two Emperors,
was necessarily an insult to all those
statesmen who had been accustomed to
advise them.
But the slight put upon the French,
Piedmontese, and Austrian ministers, was
little or nothing compared to the absolute
insult ofTered to Victor Emanuel, an inde
pendent monarch, a belligerent, a coadju
tor in the war, who was not even invited
to acquiesce after the event in thc terms
of the peace. That which Austria could
concede with a good grace to France, she
would undoubtedly have refused to Sar
dinia.
Nor was the Piedmontese King the on
ly sovereign thus cavalierly treated. The
Pope finds himself burdened with respon
sibilities which he may not ardently de
sire to undertake, since they may not im
possibly foreshadow a proposed modifica
tion in his internal administration.
The London Times, of the 19tli, says:
The Emperor of the French has confi
ded to his army the reasons which induc
ed him to grant Austria the just accom
plished peace. It is a document which"

The London News views the peace in do wn upon such men the vengeance of the
this manner:
This abrupt and disappointing termina

filled both the covert and avowed enemies
of freedom and progress with unwonted
exultation. The friends of despotism and
intolerance, the aristocratic partizans of
Hapsburg rule, the supporters of the Ho
ly Alliance and the Papal throne, are al
most beside themselves with sudden joy.
It is a jubilee for Austrian grand dukes,
Italian cardinals, French priests, and Eng
lish peers. All this Ls natural enough.—
But there are others besides the avowed
and real enemies of progress who regard
the peace with a certain kind of satisfac

cause look upon it with a certain kind of
sardonic pleasure, as thc fulfilment of the
gloomy prophecies they have uttered ever
since the commencement of the war.—
Such an alliance, they had always said,
would never prosper, and could produce

very bad one, but they are not disappoint

The principal aim of thc war was, it
seems, to render Italy a nation, and this
principal aim, it also seems, has bcen ob
tained. “It is true,” says Napoleon 111.
“ that Venetia remains to Austria;” hut
he explains that this exception is imma
terial, because Venetia will continue to he
an Italian province, forming part of the
Italian Confederation. Wc confess wc do
not foilow thc Emperor in this explana
tion. That Venice will remain Italian we
clearly see; we should have more difficul
ty in understanding how it could become
Bohemian or Hungarian ; but how this
fact renders its possession by Austria of
less importance wc cannot pretend to ex
plain. It is one of those logical sequen
ces which none but an Emperor, at the
head of many legions can enounce with
effect.
To the eye of common understanding
this possession of Venetia would seem to
give Austria a right which she never be
fore had to intermeddle in the politics of
all Italy. Austria, a great military mon
archy, is, by this possession, a member of
a Confederacy which is made up of Aus
tria and a few insignificant and unwarlike
States. In this Confederacy who will in*
fluence and who will obey ? Austria is
right in boasting that it matters not to
her what may be the fortune of arms; for,
beaten or victorious, she always gains the
prize in the contest That which was lim
ited is now to become universal ; that
which was an encroachment is now to be

About the Charleston Convention-
Dare they Shoot Northern Men—
A Difference of Opinion.
Wc think our New York correspondent
places too great an estimate on thc fire
eating ebullitions of the Charleston press,
and the bragadocia threats of some politi
cians of the South. We for our own part
are not terrified by the threats that have
come from that quarter, and do not believe
for one moment that any Northern man’s
throat is to be cut, or liis body shot to pie
ces at that convention, because he may
happen to express a choice for Stephen A.
Douglas for President. Let but a demon
stration of that kind he made, anil, true
enough, the streets of Charleston would
flow with blood like a river. If it must
come to an open rupture—if blood must
be shed—if the lives of Northern men must
be sacrificed to appease thc dictatorial bc-
mob, and all men who voted for Douglas,
or talked Douglas, would be murdered;—
and this is the more probable, as there is
no law in South Carolina to punish the
murderer of abolitionists.
If Douglas delegates go to the Conven
tion at Charleston, their friends must go
with them for protection to thc extent of
10,000 men, armed and ready to resist the
assaults of a Charleston mob, incited to
their deadly work by such papers as the
Mercury and News, located in Charleston,
and such speakers as Bonham and Rhett,
who would look upon the killing of forty
or fifty Douglas men with as much com
posure, and feel as little remorse about thc
matter, as it forty or fifty mad dogs were
shot If such language is used ten months
before the Convention meets, I ask you
what show Douglas men will have when
the Convention meets? It will be overaw
ed, Douglas men will he shot down in the
street, and anything will be done to cow
his friends, rob him of the nomination,—
then these madmen South will laugh and
chuckle over their victory!
Bear in mind, sir, that no Douglas press,
or “ follower of Douglas,” has yet made a
move or expressed a fear of the overawing
at Charleston. It comes from factions a-
fraid of yellow fever in May or June. As
they oppose Charleston on these grounds
of climate, let every friend of Mr. Douglas
now take his stand as an American free
man, and swear by all that is sacred to
liberty, that Mr. Douglas nor his friends
will enter any Convention in a city where
its people, its presses and public opinion
generally has been expressed in advance
so decidedly and so uncourteously towards
their candidate. When thc Mercury of
Charleston speaks out, it is thc voice of thc
Democracy of South Carolina, and especi
ally of Charleston. It is not as with us,
an organ to speak the sentiments of a few.
Let thc Mercury, about the time of thc as
sembling of the Convention, or on the
morning on which it meets, publish a list
of the Douglas delegates, and report only
one half of what it has stated day after
day—that Douglas is an abolitionist—that
he is worse than Seward—that his doc
trine is worse than the AVilmot Proviso,
Ac., Ac., and thc Douglas crew were not
fit to live, ami that they deserved death

We saw yesterday (July 13th,) at thc
office of Messrs. Cabrcro, Hourquct & Co
some twenty pounds of gold images idols.
Ac., recently taken from an Indian “hua-
co” (burying place,) near David, i n this
State, and brought here for sale, by Mr
Manuel Fernanda. It is currently report
ed that thc company who are engaged in
this speculation, have taken out some
eighty thousand dollars worth from this
same “huaco.”
Among the lot we saw some curiously
wrought alligators, similar to those found
in the Indian burying places of Peru and
Mexico. At what date these relics of an
tiquity were deposited here, no one knows
—some of them look old enough to have
been made by old “ Tubal Cain.” Thc al
ligator seems to have been held in great
veneration by the aborigines of these coun
tries as well as in ancient Egypt.
No doubt a large quantity of manufac
tured gold lies hurried all through North
and South America in these Indian hua-
cos. In all of the wars between different
tribes, no enemy was ever guilty of dis
turbing thc resting places of the dead.
' The Southern Cultivator.
The August number of this Agricultu
ral Monthly was received some days ago
hut was mislaid. Wc are always glad to
receive the Cultivator, filled as it is with
articles based upon experience, treating
upon all subjects of farm economy, and
suited, particularly to Southern institu
tions and culture.
If thc “Southern Cultivator” was before
entitled to a wide circulation and a gener
ous patronage, it is now much more so.—
By an arrangement just made the “South
Countryman” has been merged in the Cul
tivator, and the valuable services of Rev.
C. W. Howard secured as one of tlie Edi
tors. The addition to the Editorial force,
of a gentleman so eminently qualified by
his superior attainments to fill the post
with advantage to the farming and plant
ing public, must of itself be of immense
advantage. Rut thc benefit to be derived
by the proposed canvass of thc State by
Mr. Howard, lecturing on agricultural sub
jects, cannot he overestimated. The ar
rangement, thus entered into by the Pub
lisher and the Editors, even though it may
, r , . , .. ,, be founded in unalloyed self interest—
vention, and I assure you that before 24 I J
which we feel sure is not the tact—cannot

give them fight; accommodate them with
anything and everything they wish. Let
them understand distinctly that the North
wants Douglas for President, if the South
docs not wish him, that is their privilege,
but it is not their privilege to dictate to
the North who it shall have, and no one
is to he shot down from thc North cither,
who has independence enough to speak
his honest sentiments right there in thc
city of Charleston. If such men are to be
shot down, God have mercy on their city.
—These are our sentiments, and there wc
differ from our correspondent. Vi e go for
holding the convention there in spite of
yellow fever or any other fever, and we
have not the least apprehension about any
Northern man’s being murdered, or hav
ing his throat cut in thc streets, because
he differs with them on the candidates to
be put in nomination. At any rate, let us
try thc experiment; let us have a speci

and read a good deal about it; now let us
have an actual taste of the stuff.
\Yc can avoid this by going in a large
body, well armed, for a Charleston mob is
composed of as great cowards as ever ex
isted, when they come to lynch men who
are in numbers, and well armed with Colt’s
pistols—10,000 men, armed, would keep
thc Charlestonians from imbuing their
heads in the blood of thc Douglas dele
gates. Nothing less would.
