Now it ia posed that the South shall abandon the , siatent Democrats (Franklin Pierce, Th: H.

These are some of the reflections in w the Dem?crata here indulge, in commer upou Governor Orr's proposed chang policy. After tho reconstruction of the Soul States and their rc-admission to represe tion in Congress, thc old issues having pa away, the country will divide on the final question. It is easy to foresee where Re licans and Democrats will stand upon great issue, and v/ith whom the Southern p'.e (white and black) will find it most to t interests to unite. The past records of two parties will furnish a ready answer, may be well here to notice another new ii looming up aud threatening to get the po c?an by tho ears. A few years ago the would t ave been laughed at, but within tw months it bas assumed a serious aspect aliudc to female suffrage.

TnK LATT EuroKATtox TO LIBERIA.-W were yesterday shown a letter written I Frederick Tiliner, one of the colored men wi went to Liberia in the Golconda from th port, addressed to a gentleman in this city, : whose service he had been prior to his em gration. In it he snys the colonists wei pleasantly located at Cnreysburg, twent miles up the St. Paul river, and were doin very well, msking coffee, ginger, arrow roo &c.

One little Democratic victory in a State no more makes Democratic aseen than one swallow makes a EU ?nm er. ' is reason to believe, inconsiderable as th tory is, that it will be a barren one. Tribune already intimates that " one ai I of the defeated Republican candidate* n to contest the election of his adversary, who know anything know what this m Ic me,ms that the defeated candidates appeal to the all powerful Congress, v can always make a pretext for exen jurisdiction over everj subject, to revie Connecticut elections. "Who that bas served the action of Congress on the sn of the contested ebctions for thc last jears can doubt the result, when tho limited jurisdictioL of that body one U?.che3 ? As to the appeal to thc Supreme Court have no faith in it. We regard it as hopi It is stated that one t-f the profoui constitutional lawyers in thecountry, Rev Johnson, has expressed the opinion that Court has uo original jurisdiction in tho If this opinion be correct, the applicatioi au injunction will be rejected by tke Supi Court, and proceedings will have to be ins! ed iu a Dis?riot Court. Much time will e'apse before the jurisdiction of the Supe Court will attach, and when it doe-s, thc >? probability is, that enough of the superai ted and invalid Judges will be convenio sick and absent to secure a decision in ? of the validity of thc military law. Pen the case, Congress will, doubtless, take s mary measures to punish the States and people prominent in making such au i with there. The question for us to dee after having seen both the President and Su: reine Court cower under Congrcssh domination, is-snail we seek a .controv with that victorious body, relying upon President and thc Court ? Are we in a uation to incur new hazards and to i nfl J old and excite new animosities ? This grave question, and cancot be too scriot pondered. Were we sure that the Presid is in favor of this move, it would bc foolha in us to risk so much in the attempt to ca it through. The latest intelligence fi Washington is, however, that he bas no nor part in it. If other States choose to gage in this hopeless contest with Congi and make up an issue for the Supremo Coi we fervently hope that Virginia will h nothing to do with il, but will continue pursue the even tenor of her way. What er the form, an issue or a controversy w Congress is the very last thing thing we sho engage in at present. There is much fo in the view presented rn the following extr from a recent letter of Governor Patton, Alabama. He says: " I am clearly of the opinion that an i peal to the courts would accomplish no go< it' a test case were brought before thc ju ciary it would open up a series of the mi complicated questions which, perhaps, ei engaged the attention of any tribunal. Qu tio?s of auch vast magnitude could not spci ily be disposed of. Tbcy would nccc-^ar require much time; and, before a cnnciusii could be reached, the Southern States, in probability, would be fully reorganized u der the Congressional plan. Indeed, the Si pleniental Bill provides specifically for arc ganization ; and the only practical questi i* : Who will participate in the work ? the many do not cooperate in the movemei and give it a proper shape, the few will car it to completi- n : and there is no telling wh discrimination may be made against the nc actiouists." The New York Time? thus closes au artic on the subject : Nor can we ignore the tendency of leg action against the law to excite fals*> autii pations of relief, and thu* to check the di position to fu'?il the law which appears nc to predominate. Of course, if the Southe people comply with the law, peaceably ar even heartily, it will be because they ba arrived at the conviction thnt better tern are not attainable. It is not that t'iey lo' the Reconstruction Law, but that they pref recor.struction with the law to more stringc rule without reconstruction. They may I tempted, therefore, by a hope of judicial i terveiition, to Rebate their present commend; ble efforts, and to place their tru:>t iu a emply expectation of help. The3c circus stances, if they occur, will indeed bc deplo ab!b. They will intensify the bitterness i a work already much too bitter, and will e tail naught but suffering and sorrow on tl people of the South. They have at this mi meut no worse enemy than the man who at vises them to fight Congress through the S> preaie Court. -? ? -? How Immigrants are Prevented froi Coming South. A Virginia paper refers to an instanc where a gentleman of SW?SB nativity, wei to Europe and induced a company of tbirt ohc Switzers to sail with him for Anaeric: ile had resided many years in Amherst cour ?y, Virginia, and had made arrangements t secure home3 and employment for them then A3 soon as they lauded ia New York, the were beset by a crowd of Western land an railroad agents, and made lo believe that the would not bo safe in the South-that to country is sickly, society turbulent, and land poor; and all but ten of them were induced t go to thc West. This shows thc importance, ns hcretofor urged by us, of having steamers chartered t bring immigrants direct to Southern ports It is astonishing that the large landholders c the South arc so slow iu moving ;-i a matte of such vital importance. FIVE MEN HUNT, BY Mon LAW.-The Cir cinnati Commercial publishes an account c i he hanging, by a mob at Bmwnstown, In 'diana, of two men. named Talley and Brooks They were in jail, charged with the murdo and robbery of an old lady several month ugo. but a report having got abroad that the; were not to be tried, a crowd of from two ti three hundred men surrounded the jail, tool " out the prisoners, and hung them to a tree Brooks made a partial confession implicatini .Talley and a man named Easton, who is .?.til ? in jail. Tally protested bis innocence, ant died in acjol. collected manner, selecting th< tree on which bc preferred to be hanged. Th< mob threatened to hang Easton if he is no i speedily tried. Two colored men named Mackey, and an i other known as Van, were hung by a mob ii ; Bourbon County, Kansas, last week. Thej i bad been confined in jail charged with thc murder of Mr. Ilayfnrd la*t Fall, but one o : the Mackeys escaped. Some officers attempt ed to renm-sl him. when he shot and mortal ; ly wounded one of them. A posse of citi , zens subsequently effected the arrest, and i immediately hung the prisoner to a tree.

Our Flirtation With Nature. Sunday hut was a day of enchanting freshness and beauty; and escaping from tho service of mammon, we spent the day flirting lovingly with nature. We found Miss Spring, who has been poking fun at us fora month past, in a more earn est mood ; she is up, and almost fully dressed. We wandered in the old grave yard behind the Church-that green hamlet of the dead, where tlicj deep well, thc holy onef, with hands crossed motionless upon their breasts-and heard the fresh voices of t jo Sunday school children, sing ing a hymn to God "remembering their creator in the day/ of their youth." It wss very beautiful. Wc said, " Thou h.ist*the dew of thy youth." Wo wandered further, and found that all trees and shrubs and grasses had felt the kisses of the sun; they wcro blushing with a secret conscious ness that tho fruits of his wcoing would appear in due season. Tho lithe fingers of tho willows, that dip and dabble in tho meadow streams, have put on their gloves of green. And the brown and yellow but terflies arc hovering latily about the edges of the thickets, and floating ove? the garden plots, as if looking for last years flowers, or waiting for the coming blowup. Tho frogf, thee wide mouthed musicians that play the overture to tho vernal opera, hnvo established their orchestra? by the broeksides: and the winged Pattis and Parrpas of the woodlands are twittering the first notes of the grand choruses that will soon fill the forest aisles with music. On every side, enterprising spriug flowers aro to be seen in the warm nocks of tho woods; and we shall soon be able to realixe the picture ;.n "Lara," which, it seems to us, By ron must hare intended as a portrait of spring: " And mighty nature botrnds aa from her birth ; The sun ia ia the heavens, and life on earth, Flowers in thc valley, splendor in the beam, Health on the gale, and freshness in the stream." It is truo that the poet, by way of cooling the' enthusiasm which such a passage is calculated to create, administers the following rhowcr-btih ut its close ; but we can enjoy tho genial warmth of the prologue ic spite of thc damper contained in the epilogue. If o goes on to say : " Immortal man ! behold her glories shine, And (ry, exulting iniy, they are thine ! Gaze on while yet thy ravished eye muy see A morrow wui?. nil?.. tLvj ?av nub SW. ?bw. . * 5 5 S ? ? And, greive what may above thoy silent bier, Nor earth nor heaven shall shad a single tear Nor cloud shall gather more, nor leaf shall fall, Nor gale bro.itho forth ono sigh for thee; for all But creeping things ehall revel on their spoil, And fit thy clay to fertilize the soil." . So bo it; all except tho "creeping things" which have no existenco but as a vulgar error. It has been satisfactorily demonstrated that in tho air-tight metallic cases sud securo sarcophagi of tho presont day, no " creeping things" can be generator! or intrude. Aa to fertilizing the soil, tho idea to us is a very pleasant one. And we should think lt would be so to all ugly people. Wo like to fancy that our corporeal substance, which at present looks much I moro like leather than verdure, will, after death be reproduced in a floral form. How delightful to imagine, for instance, that one's decaying heart m s y furnish tho juices of a Night-Blooming Ce reus or an Oppoponax; and its sublimated par ticles be rendered back again to the world in the form of the delicious and fashionablo perfumo; that bear t'nofo names. To bc sun there is sn equal chance that the said heart might be rostered in the shape of a drum-head cabbage, and be boiled with a piece of fat salt pork, or mado into sour krout, for thc btv;.'tit of some hungry Dutchman. Bub ! that picture is horrid ! But what is tho use, after all, of tracing one's cold meat to tho scoond table, or picturing what may become of us after our hash is settled ? Let us think cherfully t?f the "one course and a ro move," in vhieh consists our earthly fare; and fe.ut while me may on tho good things provided for ns in tht.t " ono course."

A vast amount of ?ni? portant information, in relation to thc agricultu rai and mineral resources of this State, can be' imparted to the Immigration Bureau by Edgc-T Held District alone. So wc hopo our people will : take immediate hold of the matter. This infpr-^j mation, derived from practical men with ripenod experiences in the localities of which they treat,*! gathered by an authoriicd Institution, through thc means of a fair and just, exposition of the advantages the State possesses, may be-nay, un doubtedly will be-of incalculable benoiit to South Carolina. No private motive, excited by gain or othcr ciu?c, should be allowed to exaggerate or deteri-d erato the position of mattors. Facts, as they present themselves, should be truly and fairly given to the Bureau. Certainly the selection oY ah?rnela one of the most important things a man can bo called to decide upon, and foreigners coming to our shore should becuabled to see their | way very clearly. Generally, the only knowledge tobe derived) about a country is from thc superficial stateracnti,;| of individuals who pass rapidly through it, und whose observations arc based on the laws oft) climato and prominent geologic formations.

A Noble and Delicate Act. Tho New York Mutual Insuranco Company, after incurring cxpensos of Five Hundred Hol lars on a Marblo Bust of Mr;. PICKE.**?, have sent it to Ex Gor. PICKENS, free of all charges whatever. This bust, which, with one of the Governor himself, was executed in Rome, by au American artist of great distinction, reached New York soon after tho broaking out of the war; and was received by the . "Seers of the snid Insurance Company, and kept privately in their roora?, Ol William Street, throughout the c .. uria of tho struggle. This act provos that there are .high-toned and true gentlemen in every section ol our "country, notwithstanding the utneral illiberality aud nar row feeling engendered by the late barbarous war : and we aro much pleased to chronicle " Nor can we refrain from commenting upon the rare beauty and artistic value of the bust in question. The original, lovely "as that first wo man whose beauty made Eden glad," is here delineated in thc purest "Parian atstue-?tone." It is a work of art of which softness and loveli ness aro thc striking characteristics. The figure is exceedingly delicate and graceful ; the outline ii finely varied in the different view?; while thc softness of the form, tho character of the fae?, and the adjustment of tho hair, ar; classically beautiful. Build Pretty llonses. Tho prevailing preference for handsome women over plain ones is sometimes irrational and ab ...a, r- .1.?. UlgUcst ooauiy Ol a ll um au t/<.tu? is in that being's mind aud soul ; and a plain women bes cftrn a very lovely mind aud soul, where a haudsouic woman has nota jot of cither. But the preference for ugly boute? over pretty oaes, that prevails in this latitude, is alteoy* irra tional and absurd. A house has neither mind nor soul, and therefore should always bo pretty. It is high time for a new stylo of architecture to come about in Edgc?eld. Tho old-time straight, stiff, oblong housos, with the straight stiff piar.ra in fren', and the two straight stiff shed rooms behind, aro awful-positively awful. Wo imag ine there will be but littlo boure-building aranng our people for somo timo to come. But if any one should harbor the thought of such a thing, wo bug him to renounce at once all tho horrid, ugly, (tiff plant of the past day. Wo recommbud as a model, a beautiful cottsgo, belonging to our confrere, D. R. D., which hos just bceu finished by Mr. M. A. MAHKEKT, a ?en tleman, who, betides bis natural skill and taste, is, in theso days of competition, al-.rays nlivo to everything which promises progress or distinction in his calling. Tho said cottage stands on a hill about a half mile from the h'.iart of our town ; and euch a patlorn of compactness, skill, tinto and cheap ness is it, that we cannot help taking up our pen intuitively to compliment the accomplised archi tect. We nro sure that any ons who has seen them, would unreservedly prcfor thc light cheap and compact plans, the gothic roofs, tho romantic bay-windows, and the graceful verandahs of Mr. HAKKKRT, to aov of the straight, stiff, angular patterns that have been the fashion hereabouts for so many long years.

These, in thu future, aro expected to becoino essential interests to the Pa cific States, and a convenience altogether to our great mercantile and military marine. The in habitants of this newly-acqn.red province num bcr. about sixty thousand, of whom not moro than one-sixth aro Russians, thc remainder are Es quimaux, the aboriginal peof le of the country.' We cannot say why, or Tn what, the United States Government bas bought this distant, cold and sterile land. But our commorcc ought pretty certainly to be benefitted by the opening of ports along this extreme verge of tho continent, and by the attendant extent ion of tho fur trado ?nd the whale finhrries. While a fresh opportunity will be afforded to thc Senotc of quarrelling with thc Executive over the appcin.'montof rulers, civil or military, to administer the nffrirF of the Esqui maux, the Pohr Bear?, the Reindeer, thc Whales, and tho Seals, that are yet to bo drilled in tho "higher law," and educated for tho duties and privileges of American citixensbip.

J. A. D. For thc Advertiser. Division of L'dgefield. 3?R. EDITOR :-Our State Government has been supersodod by a Military one; and in constructing a nsw Government, the peepio of Saluda will have afforded thom an opportunity for effecting the long desired division of Edgcfield into two Judicial and Election Districts. Tbii, for a long tiue, has been a favorito idea with tho people of* (Hs Section ; and tho desiro of tho people, for the accomplishment of this objict is a.* great as :rcr. Its necessity is even greater. Tho District of Edgcfield L ntxt to the largest n tho State, Barnwell being but little larger. Sdgefield, however, hal nearly twice as many hrras as Barnwell ; double in ralee. Her popu htion is much greater than that of Barnwell ; or of. any other District in tho Suto, excluding the poiufalion of large towns. The population of Edgofiold District is equal t>the aggregato of Chesterfield, llorry, Lr.ncas te and Marlborough; and Bdge?eld contnins nure square acre?, thaa three cf thc above named Dktrictt. tf we compare the sub-div!.?i.;ns of this Statu mb those of other States, wo find Edgefiald as lar;e as a half dozen of those in most States. Thu is proof of its being large enough for two Disricts, ond for several simple, but sufficient rcaons, it should bo divided. lio equal representation of the Districts in tho S?nto works disadvantage" ae\y to overgrown Diiricts. There has ever existed an unequal n-pesentaM-jii in the House of Representatives. Fo:iualai:cc, Charleston and Loo ."lection District of lorkelcy have nearly five t ! tr. ca a? many Rep reso tatives ai Edgefield. And they havo not doolo thc population and double the taxable proerty in real catate at least. le large extent of the Di.-'.rict plrfces the rasi derics of many citizens at a distance of over th ii)' miles from tho Court Honst. In eonte quccc, such citiicns cannot attend Court without i nerrin g great expenso and trouble ; which, in thc:present coaditroa, thf- are little able to Lea The pay of Juron is hut ono dollar per day and if a mnn from Saluda is drawn, he has to tirel a long and rough road to reach tho CouiHou?c.

If writ or other proccR* ii served on us, the cost increased by the diitnr.co from tho Court Hon. Tho trouble of ni iking oloction and otbereturns is so great, owing to the same cause, that) ono likes to do so. Bi why arguo to provo the necossily of a meare, when such necessity ia so palpablo to all. am only astonished that any opposition shou ever havo been manifested to this jueasara Ands is earnestly hoped that at this time, when so roy aro deprived of thc means of attending Cou'to render public service, or transact per somousiness (tho idea of attending us a mero speitor being never entertained,) no one will offeurther opposition to it. I? division of this District did not benefit all, it cainly would not hat ni the interest of any. It ? ot to be answered that it ?a impracticable ; for amples are not wanting in tho history of thente to prove that Districts can, and have beedivided, to meet tho r ants of tin peoplo, whiho increase of population and business has mail necessary to have tho Court House and Dist officers near. 1 States of the Union, and tho Districts of thiiatc, havo been frequently divided to effect Ihbecinl object.

Thc Russian Treaty makes the cc.-sion and j right of possession complete and absolute, on the 1 exchange of ratifications. Without wailing foi i formal delivery, tho fortifications and military pests are to be immediately delivered up to the j United States. The Russian troops are to bc j withdrawn as soon as practicable. The United I States is to pay $7.200,000 in gold at the Trcasu j ry at Washington, within ten months after the j exchange of ratifications. The ee?sion is free and unencumbered by any resorvtrtiocs of privileges, franchises, grants or poaiessicns by any compa nies of Russians or other nationalities, corporate or incorporate, except meroly private individual property-holders. All rights cf dr minion pass to tho United States. The ratitcation is to he ex changed at Washington bofore the 13th of Juno? or the treaty fails. Tho continental domain ac quired is about 3S0,000 square miles, and the is lands will increaso tho domain to 450,000 square miles. Private individual property of civilized in habitants is to bo respected; churches built by the Russian Government will rcmaiD the properly of resident members of the G -eek and Oriental Church ; civilized inhabitants may remain thrco years in thc territory without forfeiting allegiance, to Russia; then thoso chootirg permanently to remain will beccma American citizens and be pro tected ia liberty and property. The remaining uncivilized tribes arc put on the samo footing as thu Aborigines of this country. The Sonate had the Rousseau case up again under a vote to reconsider bis confirmation, but did not vote. On tho ll tb, Charles O'ConoL', in the Supremo Gourt, asked leave to hand to the Clerk a copy of the petition of tho State of Georgia, which, ho intendi to ask lcs.vo to file. Tho Court said ha could do so. Attorney Genoral Stanberry said this petition differed from that of Mississippi in tho fact that the President was not made a party iu tho injunction ; and further stated, that Stanton, in behalf cf tho military au thority, had requested him to lake cnliro control of the defence. The Court was requested, but declined, to take ord?r ns to arrangement for ar guing this question. It is probable, however thnt the motion to filo tho two petitions will bo jointly argued. It is understood that thc President has legal advico of bis righi-the Srnate failing to confirm nominations-to fill offices during vacation, pre viously to tho pa^saga of tho Tenure of Offico Bill. A resolution was introduced calling on the President for any legal opinions officially given him regarding ibo Tenure of Office BUL Passed. Resolutions, fixing a day for adjournment, oc casioned a characteristic debate, and developed thc fnet that thc Semit? is willing to divido the offices, half Radicals and half Democrats, but the President is firm in his deterndnation to adhere to his friends. In reply to an argument that un less tho President yielded and, during the recess? placed persons in office objectionable to the Sen ate, he should be put out of thc way in July. Messenden replied that thc President, equally with tho Scnuto, was a part of the Government, and might, with equal propriety, threaten to put tho Scnato out of tho way uule-ss it ?cceptcd his luc?s uros. Thc whole qnoilion was indefinitely post poned. Went into executive session. On tho 12th, in thc Supreme Court the motion to file the Mississippi Bill cams up. Chief Jus tice Chase said a motion to file a Bill is usually granted, as matter of course, but if, a: suggested, thc Bill coutnius matter scandalous or unfit to come before the court, tho court examines it or refers it to a master. In this case the Attorney Genen! objects to tho Billas containing ....ccr unfit to hrinrr. before the court. That is . only point which can'now bo considero!. " pon that point thc court will first hear the Attorney-General. Mr. O'Conor announced himself and associates in attendance should it bc decided to argue both bilis. Tho Attorney-General said thc Georgia Bill lacked a point on which ho proposed to op pose thc filing of thc Mhuissip* i Bill. The Mis sissippi Bill iras, in a legal sen.rc, scandalous, as it proposed making the Presider t a defendant be fore thc court. Judge Sharkey said he had (mended thu Bill to proceed against tho President as a citizen of Tennessee. Mr. Stanberry then read a portion of tho Biil claiming that it was manifestly against the Presi dent as the President of the United States. He alluded to a process somewhat similar issued against Mr. Jefferson in the Burr trial. Mr. Jef ferson did not obey nor even notice the process. As an officer ho should adviso the President to disregard tho sul.pcenn, and truced tba result Should tho court persist and the President remain firm, thc court, to maintain it' dignity, wiuld have to imprison thc President fer contempt. Ile maintained thst, equally with the Kings of Eng land, tho Presidoot was exempt /rom proceedings of this kind. II? could ouly bo brought beforo tho Bar of the Senate after impeachment. The courts could punish him for acts committed while President; but be wa? beyond their jurisdiction whilo occupying the President's chair. Ho also maintained tba1 the action was against ?he United State* Government as much as though the Gov ernment were named. He ncnonnccd that ho ap peared there at tho request, of thu President, who, whon Ike bills passed over hi. ve*.o, said there wac but one duty, in hil ?gliumticn, resting upon him -that was, faithfully to carry out and execute these laws. R. J. Walker fallowed, and the r-.url took thc matter uuder advisement. Tho only extra exf cr.se incurred in making the Russian treaty was a dispatch of inquiry and its mswer to Gen. Halleck nt San Francisco. Ile replied lhat five to ten millions would Lc arca.-on *blc price After a very long debato on Friday, thc Senate tdopted a resr.lution to adjourn Tuesday. Oa the 13th, tho Supreme Court took motion :or lenve to file the Georgia bill for consideration without argument. Cba-c said if tho Cuurl wished to be.tr tho ar gument he would notify counsel. Tbero was aa interesting argurrcnt in tho Sen tto Friday on adjournment. The point was dade that a special session, called by the Presi lent, cannot legally adjourn withe ut his consent-* t would bo dispersion. Tho difficulty lie? in seeping a quorum together, without which tho Scnato cannot work nor adjourn ?wie dV?. If a I'jnrum is present Tuesday the session will prob ibly bc prolongod ; if not, tho Chairman will ad ourn the Senate under Friday's ar-tion. Several Radical Senators announced were they 'ro.'ident they would persist, 1 ko Johnson, in lominating friends and supperteri, Thero is no sign of compromise.

Tiic following dispatches contain the latest detailed information received by mail in re lation.to the threatened difficulty between France and Prussia : BERLIN, April 8, 18u'7.-Alarming Dews, tending to the excitement anticipatory ot' Warthas been received in this city from Pans. The intelligence is regarded as of such an important character that the Ki- g of Pros sin sent for Count Bismarck, and had ame cial interview with the Premier at the palace at two o'clock in ibo morning on Sunday. LONDON, April 9-Evening.-It is now de finitely known that Napoleon, deeming rhe possession of the Luxembourg indispensable tor the military security of the French fron tier, not long f-ince commenced negotiations with the King of Holland for the purchase of the Grand Duchy and its incorporation with the French Empire, but as the Fortress of Luxembourg, one of the strongest fortifi cations in Europe, is held by a Prussian gar rison, and the Prussian Government back?d by the whole of Germany, firmly objects to the transfer of the Duchy to France, the King of Holland has withdrawn from any further negotiations on the subject. The Emperor of the French, however, insists that his propositions shall be carried out and the treaty completed. The national pride of France has bean deeply wounded, and a wild anti-Prussian feeling has seized the country. Meantime, while this dispute is pending, both France and Prussia are making military preparations. This threatening 3tate of affairs is the cau<0 of the financial panic which now exists In London, Paris, and all the principal commer cial countries of Europe. The following advices were received by steamer, and hint at thc feeling which led ro thc excitement described in the preceding telegrams : " A rumor that France had made overtures to Austria to protest collectively against tbe treaties of Prussia with Baden, Wurtemberg and Bavaria, and that Austria had refused, is without any foundation." The London Standard says : It is currently reported at St. Petersburg that an offensive and defensive alliance has been concluded between Prussia and Russia, and the Rouinanin is a party lo the arranga ment. THE LATEST. BERLIN, April ll, p. m-Bismarck sent an energetic Dote to Paris, demanding reasons for arming.

Mr. Stevens was murdered ou tho 29th of la;?!. November, on the highway, and robbed cf the smali amount of $150. It seems that Mr. S. ?tad been to thc house of Register's father to collect taxes. Tho s in secreted himself about a mile from tue house, and as Mr. S. approached, fired, killing him.

RECONSTRUCTING NORTHWARD.-Our Radi ical politicians in Maryland do i >t find much sympathy among their brethren up North in their project for congressional reconstruction of the State. The Boston Advertiser sneer ingly tells them that if their grasp of the Slate has been loosened it is their own fault.

An to their petition that Congress shall \i:ter pose, the Advertiser scouts the i:!eu. " Re construct Maryland!*' If we permit this, wc shall have Congress reconstructing the Northern States next."
