Latest.accounU from Europe bring th? news of. .the death of; Lord Palmerston, one of tlc'most furaous cf English statesmen,-and for many roars vpnst, Premier orJPrinir? Minister of Qit'cen Victo ria. Lord Palmerston was past eighty at tho timo of his death, bat,-like so many Englishmen, had retained his physical and mental vigor tn tho last. Thofo accounts say further that Lord John RussolL, Minister for Foreign Affairs, will succeed to the Premiership, and that tho Earl of Claren don, will take tho latter's placo as ho?d of tho Foreign Office. And this leads us to .?peak somewhat nf the relations of the; United R?tte? with England. In April last, the American Ministerin London,..Mr. Adams. in a note to Lord John Russell, intimated that the. United; States Government would hold England responsible for thc damu-gos inflicted on the commerce of the Unitod Slates by the Ala Lama and other vessel*. A month after, Earl Russolt replied briefly that British liability coum not be measured by Unitod States loss, and that the'real and only question was, whether tho Brit ish Govoruiiicufc.hai faithfully and honostly per formed their duty as neutrals. Mr. Adams then rejoined that tho insurgent SHtos booomo belliger ents at sea solely by vessels lurnishod them by England, and ho chtrgod the Custom Rouse offi cials of Liverpool with flagrant negligence in per mitting thc Alabama to escapo. An interval of three months elapsed, and at the end of that timo, EH ri Russell replied : "The law officers of tho crown must be held to bc botter interpreters of British statutes lhanMyforeign Government can be presumed to bej ,Bcr Majesty's Government must, thorcfore,'decline to make .reparation or compensation for captures made by the Alabama, or to refer tho question to any foreign State." Arbitration had boen proposed by Mr. Adams, but reject?d by Earl Russell. Since, then how over, Earl Russell his proposod. a Commission of Inquiry, to.whi^h Mr. Adams replied.that ho did not bolievo thia alternativo would be acceptable J to tho United Stutes Government. Thus the matter hts rested for some time past. J In tho meanwhile, Mr. Seward, in publie speeches, has openly and strongly intimated that the United States Govornment intended to insist upon arbi tration.' And now comes the news by the latest steamer? the Cuba, that England has " Bottled" with. Amori ca, and that. Earl Russell must be Premier be cause ho-is postedas to this settlement. What the settlement it, and how made,-if any at all has not yet transpired. --? ? ?-: Gen, Hampton. Tho Columbia correspondent of tho Charleston ..Mci??, writing on the 1st, says : ".After the publi cation of the returns for the Gubernatorial cloe-' tion, which, if correct, show that Col. Orr has boen elocted by a small majority, General Hamp ton, with that noble spirit of high-toned manhood which characterizes him on all occasion?, informed Governor Perry that ho (Governor Perry) should let tho President know that he (General Hamp ton) had not been elected Governor, so that tho Presidont might withdraw, if ho should think proper, tho pardon which hRS been granted, or has been promised, under tho supposition that General Hampton had been cloded Governor of tho State. As the returns are by no means posi tively correct, Governor Perry hos dotcrmined to let thc matter romain in its prcsont positiou. Don't Sell Your Lands! Wc are glad to end.rsc tho remarks of the Ma con Gazette, which follow. Wo aro still bopofal for our bolovod and "sunny South," and cannot help feeling that despite the depression of the present, "there'slifo in tho old land yet:" " In tho -confusion of the hour, many of our planters have determined to sell out their lauds, and either leavo tho 'country or move to town. They believe ovcrythiBg rs so confused that it will be impossible to make a crop next yetir. They are sacrificing their poSjosa.ions.for a moro ?uni;, ?wi ?orn? ttMrmserros ai well as their country u great injury. A fowsharpors are buying up those lands at a very lew figure, and will make fortunes out of them as soon as the tide of emigration turns this way. We would advise every ono to be moro calm aud considerate, and hold ou to their lands. This confusion, disorganising as it is, will not r.' - ways last." Infamous Blasphemy. The Rev. Jon? S. C. ABBOTT, a Yankco, some what known as a historian, and notod for his in consistencies, is at present engaged in writing the Hi8tory*of tho GreefRobollion and it3 Cau Bos." Alluding to our defences around Vicksburgj ho says, " God .Almighty could never havo taken Vicksburg if Ho had not had the Yankees along with-Him." That langnogo certainly surpassos the blasphemous remark of GUSELEY after the battle of Bull Run, when be said that " the Lord would never give aid and comfort to the rebels so "long as Ho retained His present respectability." Comment is unnecessary. " All that's bright must fade," is not ap plicable to a ADC sot of teeth brushed with Fra grant Sozodont.

I would have i first." One having heard this assertion,,and the fir.t, would have como irrcsistably to the c cluiioD that tho Itu Section did not, in your oj ion, abolish slavory. A man of ordinary ink goueo having heard you from the beginning, mi bo excused if he vrero a liltlo uncertain as to y ronl moaning, but perhaps, would; upon mal reflection, have come to tho very deficite conclut that Ute 11th Scctioa did actually abolish slav< then ngiin that it didn't. ^ You thon went on to say that Congross ' passed a resolution proposing to the Statos to a the Constitution so as to abolish slavory throu out the United States; that that proposition 1 boon submitted to .he Legislatures sf the Stat that our Legislatura at its next meeting wo have to pass upon it ; that if it failed or rofu to ratify it that then the Stato would not be f tuitted to return to the Union, and that the ba net would still bo kept at our doors.

Accepting as true the assert which you have repeatedly, boldly and aim defiantly mado, that the 11th Section did ; abolish slavery, I then, most respectfully, j how could you in common fairness, make tho gc poople of Granite ville believe that my havi voted against it, had a tondency to keep the bi onet in our midst? If, as you say, the 11th S lion does not abolish slavery, my vote against even though it defeated it, would not have i effect you ascribed to itt Your having said that if the 11th Section i abolish slavery, you would have died boforo" j would have voted for it, is virtually a pledge tho people that you will not vote for any propo tion looking to tho ab-jlition of slavery. The fore, when tho propos!tien above referred to coa up, you will have to vote against it. But if ye views aro correct, and you do.voto against it, th you becomo obnoxious to the chargo, which, your speech at Orangeville, you laid at my do Thus, Sir, your reckless assertions, and a pru ency on your part to tell the people in certi localities that I had voted against tho 11th S< tion, have involved you in a dilemma from whi you cannot easily oxtricate yourself, unless y fall back on that statesmanlike maxim, of whi perhaps yon may know something : "PrinciT. set huh ind ipo ; poliay OJT.UOO to ino front."

GENERAL WADE HAMPTON PROBABLY DE FEATED_Our last report from South Caro lina is that in counting up tho latest returns for Governor General Wade Hampton is de feated, and Mr. Orr, formerly Speaker of the House of-Representatives at VYashincton, is elected. But it will make very little differ ence practically whother- men of Union or rebel antecedents are elected to their local ornees by the people of thc Southern States in their work of reconstruction, so that they present themselves before the President and Congress'with.good credentials touching the abolition of slavery, the constitutional amend ment, the repudiation of their rebel debts, the recognition of the national debt and the civil rights of the blacks. Present to Congress a sounerrecord upon these tbi?gs, and there will be very little difficulty about local State elections aud choir results-N. Y. Hecald. JEEF. DAVIS.-It is reported from Wash ington that the arrangements which had been entered into last summer for the trial of Jeff. Davis will probably fall through, and that, from the pressure of public opinion in favor of an amnesty in his case, there may be no trial after alL .

How much of bitterness, anguish ?;nd woo is ever compressed in tho word "dead," when ap plied to a loved ono ; but in this instaure whocan sum ap tho woe caused causelessly by tie murde rous hand of a nogro-to tbo widowed mother losing her eldest, her protector-her? stay and loving, dutiful child, the sun seems to have sot forever, arid earth a desert on which no (lower "f hope blooms-no fount of joy plays. To thc sis ters, little brothers and loving friends, (of which ho had so many,) life seems deprivod of i us doa rest, best boon, and earth one of her guilding .lights. And bo, oh ! who oan toll how much cf hope how many noble resolutions for the futuro aro thus suddenly buried bonoath the sod. To him, standing on the very threshold of life, thc futuro -sained lull of promise; he had laid it ont as a vast Ad in which ?o was to sow many good sood, the fruiMon. of which would bo the completo uproot ing of ?iii sCil-woods and a glorious harvest of no ble deed?, and. much happiness "to himself and loved ones, gathorod from a cloar, Christian dis charge of duty.
