As the arrest in the frat place was unauthOrixed and unnecessa. !y one,it is not at all surprising that the release of the prisoners should have so promptly ;itwed. Aud. yet if the Lib.rals had not wished to rolese them, to what gov erament would they have looked for relieff It i a ourious question, and one that might have beoome of inter est. 01tismne of no country, It would go but poorly with twonty6eight Con federates with a gernment that used &o Se, and by the U. 8. Government itill unpardoned. We therefore leave it to the Philadelphia lawyers to de. .-de who would officially afford them relief. lks Offlelat Call. Elsewhere we publish the official eall for the National Union Conven. tion. As migut have been expected, even this call is not free from objec. tions. It will be observed that no delegate will take his seat who "does "not legally awcept the national situa. "and wotdi"f endorse Lhe principes aboe set forth." Among those prin eiples the war Is denominated a "re bellion," and the word "loyal" is 'used. Those intense Union men ought to have left out the first at least. We still think it is better for us of the eleven States to leave it to the twenty-six to fix up their political trioks. If we are to be represented there we should like to have it under stood at the out4set that we never would, never ouald and never shall stultify ourselves by officially stamp .lag as a rebellion what we consider as civil*war. JEvuasOgr DAVIS Is con Ained to-day on that same account. We shall nexer consent to countenance a justf8eation of the injustice towards trim' .P. 8.

Hence it will be_ readily seen that corn and the grasses both feed froxn the same region of the. soil. The more grass, th'en, the lss corn. Any one who has at all observed growing orop. of corn will have observed that when once grass has got the mastery, however vigorously it may afterwards be fought, and however effectually overcome, the effect of its mastary any time during the growth of corn will be felt down to the time of the barest. On the other hand, cotton can be al lowed "to go to grass" with much les's impunity than corn, for the reason above given. Phrenological Journal. A new volume.
