be strife nf contending parties mutually cbockln
:aeb.-pther, which has produced so mony stirring
..vente in the ceurse of tho last two months?
Pru.-si'i is armed to tho teeth. A'u-tria is armed
o the teeth. Italy ts armed -to thu teeth. But
bc tirst blow has not beim struck. InJeei
.he latest steamers bring news thkt Eng
aud, I'uJtae and Russia, the three great
jcutral p?o called") powers have proposed a
?onfert-nce fora peaceful settlement of che quarrel
ill round, 'lhi? proposal opcua a loop bole for
peuce. Wu heliovo.it bas been generally acceded
to, and will meet in Paria. Knowing men in Ku
ropo alreiidy say that 'nothing Uko pacification
will come of this conference. And we ure very
uiueh inclined to be of their opiuion. Prussia
hus very fair and very beautiful provinces on the
Rhine-much nearer to France than to Prussia
pr JJ. er ; and tbeso Louis Napoleon ardently cov
ets. If a general mutee comes on, no mutter
whose friend he pretends to bo, bc will surely got
them. Italy, which for so many years bas been
divided into a number of small statu.-, has become,
by a revolution which took place during thc great
war in our country, one united nation, under
King Victor Emanuel of Sardinia. Tho only
Italian territory (always excepting tho Popcdom^
not belonging lo him, is Lombardy and Venice
.me of thu richest, grandest and oldest countrie
iu Europe. This, by tho famous treaty of 1S1 j
was given to Austria, by whom it is still possessed,
-.nd by whom il has always been downtrodden
Victor Emanuel is an ambitions sovereign and a
dauntless military leader. Ile pants to wrest
Lombardy and Venice from Austria, and he will
nut die without uttotnpling it. Earnestly du we
hope bc will succeed.
Prussia is bent upon annexing to ber own ter
ritory the rich and fertile duchies of Schleswig
and Holstein, which join her on thc North. Eigh
teen mouths ago, ?ho, assisted by Austria, forcibly
took these duchies from Denmark, tu whom they
had belonged fur hundreds of years. Thc duchies
trantcd to bc takun, but also wautod to becume
independent stales. Prussia baa no idoa of this,
but openly aspires tu make them hers. Austria
having assisted tu wrest them from Denmark,
and uut being willing that Lar rival should grow
resist4h.? lo
federation consists of thirty-six states or mern,
bers, the greater number of thom uut larger than
Edgcfteld District Of there, all the largest and
most important have pronounced against Prussin,
und will assist Austria. Rut as a set-off to thi
Prussia will undoubtedly receive all possiblo aid
fruin Victor Emanuel.
F;.ilin^ 'omc such sottleracnt as that proposod
hy thc conference, and liking Into consideration
the great ambitions and persistently hostile atti
tades of Prussia nnd Italy, it seems very appa
rent that there must ic n great war. If it oomes
on, it will embroil tho whole continont. Wt

To Maj. Jas. A. Talbert. Rev. E.,
Walker, and Others.
(JKXTLEMKX: In compliance with your o
and thc repeated requests of other gentium et
the District, I avail myself pf thc first moil
of lei. urc, after the arduous-.labor of Court,
devolopc the o?ly plan that has-suggested it
tamy:miud for.thc- relief of oin* present po'u
ary embarrassments, i
Wo'rarc aurrpund'ed with jicrils greater tl
those pf war,/arid it ls true that we can Le
livered-fr ira them only by -wisdom,: thought ;
action. The Legislature has failed-'to cxtrk
us, plunging vf ereil deeper still in the "6ei
nia* bog," a?i?wo must endeavor HOW to extrh
ourselves. Our Representatives must bo insiri
ed by their constituents, and tho faithful ser Vii
sustained,-the unfaithful condemned.
The Court of Appeals bus pronounced thc S
Law unconstitutional, as infringing that clansi
TM Constitution, which declare!; that " No Si
-hall pass any er post fact') law, or law
pairing the ol ligation of contracts," and ii
vain to look any longer* for suceor from such
e.xpediont as that. If y*u give me your ni
payable on or br-furc the first of January next
the sum of one hundred dollars, and tho Legh
turo, or the State Convention, should after Ya
make an enactment, providing that you di
pay mo, at the time agreed upon, or prorid
that you only pay me onc-tcnth of thc ntnoi
stipulated, that would seem to be a law \' ?upi
iog the obligation" of our contract
but a Homestead Law, and a hvw exempt
certain property from levy and salo, is reit
an " ex post facto law," in the sense conteni?la
by the Constitution, nor a law impairing tb : o
galion of contracts. It is clearly not thc lat
and r think most legal minds will conclude t
it is not subject to the objections of thc form
The patriots who framed our Constitution, ia p
riding that no State should pas. an "exp
facto law," had reference particularly to a BIM
making that act, which, wbon done or coracuilt
was HO offence whatever, to be doemed subsuquc
ly n crime or misdemeanor, and subject to pani
ment, as such. It is possible, that in this port
of thc clause, the idea of contracts and letal i
ligations never entered into th ; minds of tb
wise men, who conceived a great system of gi
eminent and called an Umpire into existence.
I Tt is the latter part of the clause thou, that
have to consider, as presenting the only nope
mcnt to the law we would have enacted tu sn
thc Commonwealth. A Homestead Law tiiou)
and a law exempting certain property from le
and salo, to eperate in thc future alone, wculd
inadequate, and unequal to tho ends requited,
mutt have a retrospectivo action. Otherwise, t
old judgments and executions would sell Ue II
ger portion of the proporty in the State, and t
evils wo suffer would only be partially rcmedii
Nuw the lieu which the statute bas gi\en t
creditor, after judgment is obtained, on thc prc
erty of his debtor, is no contract. It is morel]
provision for the regulation of trade, lile a
other act for the protection of commerce, and t
Legislature can repeal, alter, or amend it, in
its parts.
Having submitted these views of its coostil
tionality, I next proceed to state more explkii
tho scheme I would adopt to allay uppreb^nsii
to restore confidence, and to re-establish credit
tho State. Ordinarily, it is best that no ?slr
(ions whatever should be put upon trade, a
that all of a man's property should be Hal
for his debts. But "wo havo fallen upon e
times,"-u t?mpora nwtautur, et non, in Ulis, nuit
mur,"-and desperate maladies require her:
remedies.
An act exempting from levy and sale the Hun
stead and two buodred and fifty or three hundr
acres of lind, four or five head of boms, and
few cattle and hogs according to thc size of 1
family, boridos the supplies for each year, a rt
sonable quantity of household and kitchen fun
ture, and the necessary implements of husband;
of the farmer tho house and lot and work-sh
and samo supplies, ic, and tools of his trr.de,
tho mechanic ; the house and lot and store ai
warehouse, of tho merchant,-and the house and 1
-offiuo ami Liu ulm, *ir??i a?.l4w xnrvf-^Wotirtl
minister of thc gospol, suggests itself tu the rail
as the only practical solution of our difficult.*
and the only corrective of tho evils which La'
already arisen and will continuo to arise, fir
from the passago of the stay-law, and thtn fro
the sudden announcement of its uncoiistiii::ional
ty, and from the almost universal insult ern y
thc inhabitants of the State. It would disappyic
tobe sure, a few men in each District, whose eui
duct has deprived them Qt" tbe sympathies nf tl
community, but it would scarcely disturb the r
talion? between debtor and creditor, fur th?
would soon adjust themselves to thc altered ci
cunistmce. It w.?uld prevent a wide sj.n ?id an
geueral ruin, and it would bring joy and glin
ness to thc hearts and the hearlh-siooes of thoi
sands of those- brave men who perilled all f<
country, and who, bearing aloft your sacred bar
ncr, and immortalizing your r.amas in histor]
sacrificed their health, and left their limbs, som
strown on tho plains of Manastas, und in th
Wilderness, about Frederickiburg, nnd other
scattered on Malvern 'Hilly mid in the blood;
tronchos around Petersburg and Richmond.
Let us con-iider, for a moment, the partie
whom this law would inconvenience, ami; thon
whom it would benefit, and save poih ip. fron
"despair und desperation.''
It would, no doubt, worry thoso who remained
at home, and speculated in the tears and inner,
ings of our women and children, whijsl. ws wer?
baring our bosoms to thc blighting storms of war.
It would annoy those, who contributed notting ta
tho great struggle, in which thc chivalry and
manhood of the South, during four dreadful years
of privation and hattie, ?lontonded, in thy field,
with five times their numbers, and won an La mor
tality of- tame. And it would distress most sorely
thoso sordid son; of avarice, who, loving money
more than their country or their Gol, could ad
vance no aid, and foci no sympathy for'a cause,
which bad rallied all the spirit of the nation, tho
young and the old, the nblo and thc infirm, and
even boys fresh from the nursery, into the terrible
arena of conflict. Those who employed all strata
gems and devices to keep themselves a nc, their
aons out of tho war, nnd to protpot their property
and gather in more, whilst tho mm were flinging
nway their wealth, and lavishing their ona blood,
and the blood of their children, on an issue which
was to decide forever the fate of the South, and
the destin y of the Republic, will be disquieted,
mortified, and chagrined by tho enactment of a
Homestead Law. But to that other moro numerous
daas, who forgetting interest, and looking alono
:o principle, rushed (oto the pontcst, and neglect
ing their farm? neglecting their wives anc: their
racking babes, iuvoiyed their pecuniary Sifb-irs in
nextricable embarrassment, it will bring hope,
incourogcntent, comfort, security. Why, ob re
.urning home, occasionally, on short leave, buring
he war, from the absence of youngmen, from thu
inforced industry manifested by the old men, and
>y women of every age ond degree, and by tho
tonstant roar of tho spinning wheel in-thc Louses
if my neighbors, I felt like I was transported
lack to the olden time
" When Adam dclvod, and Eve span."
Tho propositipn is indisputable, that wbon a
anner or.j hinter fails in bis crops for force or.
our years in succession, he is irretrievably rnjned.
Vhat must be '.he condition of our Pistri:t thou,
rhoro three-fourths of the men under fifty years 1
f age, and many over that age, were actually 1
ngnged in our:cc?nt struggle from tho begin- -
ing to tho end thereof ? It uiust be insolvent, I
'hreo-fourths of ?ur cilUeim are not wopth a d"l
ir, and those three-fourths constitute the men (
burp all others iihoni thp law should prottot-tho ?
icn who ?'ave their mean?, und fought, and b]od
>r oijr rights. Must these gallant men bo driven jj
lim tho hi.rats they luye, to n>ake room fur s x-cu
liors, tories, and Shylock?, who would citant the r
ist farthing and " tho pound of tl.-sL ' abo 1
lust our noble women, the mothers ?ml tho v
i vue ot' heroes droop their proud head.-, in thu ?
reseucc of tbe haughty dames of up-sfurtu, mi
rs, intruders and traitors,
" Sinning turin solicitons to bless, P
lu all the glaring imp?tente ol d i ea ?" ' ft
Moat they leave forever, thc hallowed ground
whore the ashes of their children repose, to which
they repair daily to deposit flowers *?? tokens of
innocence, upon thc grave, und to offcNtp prayers
to God for the peace of their own souls, and ile
iouls of t'-eir dear deported ofl* spring ? Yet th?y
mnsl?lower their crests-they must depart, in sor
row andjin shame, unless the Lcgiilalure afford
iji'tm sjtjipor ond relief, and that speedily and ef
fectually; When they aro deprived of their lands
and reduced to naught here, they can not brook
ti) live amid the scene? of their former affluence,
and they will seek a kinder sky, and a more gene
rous soil for tho struggles of their declining age.
That they .-hall hc.driven away under color of
law, and that the lawyer and the sheriff shall
divide with the credit or, their little possessions,
will not palliare their distress, or staunch the
wounds of " the broken soldier." I confess, that
? am frequently oppressed with sadness, in tho
eonteuiplatiorj)of this_subject, and can realize, in
imagination, the vivid.picture drawn in Gold
smith's " Desert, d Village," ;
" Down where yon anchoring vessel spreads the sail,
That idly waiting flaps wjtb.eitery gale,
Downward thur. move,, a nicla??holy.hand,
I??** Troiii thoishore-'and'darkeW h)l the.strand.
Contented toil, and hospitable care,
And kind cunuubial tenderness, are there;
And piety, with wishes placed above,.
And steady loyalty, nod ?afthTuriove."
I have already seen, in Charleston, the wives
and daughters of planters, who bad previously
owned from one to seven plantations, and also of
those who were formerly merchant princes, (for
merchandise shares the fate'df agriculture and
lives upon it,) so reduced in means, as to be com
pelled to live at ordinary boarding houses, on the
precarious earnings of their husbands, sons, and
brothers behind the counters, and in the pnblio
ofiices of the city, while courtesans and the wives
of adventurers were flaunting in their faces all
the finery of Paris, and London and Now York.
These husbands, and sons, and brothers are the
men who iitood so bravely to our Flag at Jlon?y
Uill, who fought, shoulder to shoulder, with
Elliot and Walker .at Pocotaligo, -with Qimlliard
and Lamar at Sbc?'ssi.oHville, with Simkins and
Ramsay at.llattery lV?g0^-who consecrated the
ruins of Fort Suinter, with their blood, and il
lustrated by their valor, the ensanguined fields of
Walthall Junction, Drury's Bluff, and the Weldon
Road. No Knights of the age of chivalry ever
displayed moro self-sacrificing courage, or devo
tion to honor. Must those men too be driven
away ? Il cannot be so. The State cannot af
ford-it. We could part with a son or a brother,
with fond regrets, indeed, who had perished, like
a hero, battling for a righteous cause, but wo
cannot afford to lose a whole virtuous- and mag
nanimous population.
" Princes and lcrds may flourish or may fade ; .
A breath can make them, as a breath has made :
But ahold yeomanry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed, can never bo supplied."
I would even extend the benefits of the law to
.tho widows of our glorious dead, so as to retain,
if possible, within thc bosom of South Carolina,
all of her sons, and all of her previous jewels.

THE FENIAN MOVEMENT.-Mr, Stephens,
the Irish Head-Ceutre, addressed a large Fe
nian meeting in Philadelphia, on Tbursdsy
evening last. He said :
In Ireland their organization was larger
and more powerful than any similar conspira
cy that had ever existed in ?uTope or else
where, and wo?jd undoubtedly accomplish
the end for which it had been formed if tho
Irishmen in this country did not disappoint
those at home. General Sweeny, President
Roberts, and all others in favor of attacking
Canada, would not be safe for six hours in
Ireland, where it was absolutely necessary
that ti^h'ing should take place this year, or
the organization would dissolve, never again
to be re-uuited.
In Ireland there were ready 50,000 Irish
men, brave, traioed and disciplined, and ?0,
000 men were partially tr tined, and 150,001)
more bad been sworn into the order. They
were.all unarmed, or they would ueve'r have
been so qnies*under tho oppressions of tho
English^ Had tbo^ arms they could free
their land within a mouth. Last year they
iliiLnjit Deed a ?imj:le man from this country,
except an able general, with perhaps a dosen
brigadiers. He would guarantee, witbiu six
weeks, to import arms for 100,000 men iuto
Ireland, in spite of thc Dublin fleet, if he had
the funds to procure them. "
buring the delivery of bia address, he was
loudly nod frequently applauded.
THE CHOLERA AT NEW YOKE.-II is utterly
useless to atti rapt to 'disguise facts. Treat
them as you may, they will not be ignored.
They as.-e.it themselves with a persistency
that cannot, long remain unrecognized. The
epidemic in the Lower Hay is increasing with
the most uncomfortable rapidity, aud the
mortality is thereby proportionably augmen
ted. Th? hospital ship Falcon is crowded
with patients, and there is no place to which
the well may bc removed. It is true that
.here are now at quarantine one or two hulk?,
but over crowding them does not cure the
disease. Thc sick aud well are still, to a
greater or lesd degree, imprisoned together,
and it is impossible, nuder th? Circumstances,
to eliminate the infection.-New Yolk Tri
bune, 4th.
TAXES ANO B PRESENTATION--Tie Rich
mond Enquirer makes an excellent point ia
reference lo the continued payment of taxes
in.the South without representation in Cort-u
gross. u The time has come," sayj that pa
per, ? ?-hen the legality of such proceeding*
might be, and ought to be tested b> the coarts.'
The Constitution erRgessly declares that "rc
presentation and dtmt taxes shall be f ppor
tioned among the several States which may
be included within the Union, according ta
their meudjcrs"
JBST An Irish peasant being asked why he
permitted his pig to take np his quarters with
his family, made an answer abounding with
satirical naivette : " Why not? Doesn't the
place afford every convenience that a pig
cw require ?"
BOUQUET DE ArPRiCANA.~This elegant
perfume has long been known in the South -
ern States, but was never fully appreciated
until the genius of the North was introduced
South of Mason and Dixon's line. It has
been patented by Stevens, Summer <? Co.
and with a small partofthe essence of D. D!'
it is said to be really delightful. Ii. can to
had in the hall and galleries of the House and
Senate, and in most of tho street cars._Na
