So gross an insult could neither be avenged upon the heir to the throne, nor endured by an honorable, man. The Colonel, after stating the facts to thc Emperor, sat down and wrote the Grand Duke: II Your Imperial Highness has offered me a mortal insult. . When you read this letter I shall have ceased Aire;" and having written this, he deliberate ly blew out his brains. " It is only just to the Emperor, Alex ander II, to say that he was profoundly shocked by this sad ^flfaif.

Hold on to Tour Lauds. We continue to press this all-impor tant duty home to our land-owners. Never let your lands pass from your hands without you well know you are selling to a friend of the South, and.of thc white men of tlie South. Besides, .lands are advancing rapidly in pri?e, and to hold them is simply the host in vestment you can possibly make._ No doubt hundreds *f v--~~ -v-?w iiisau, and -hold on tn your Lands. Below we copy from a Richmond pa per an interesting article on this sub ject, which we hope will be attentively read by land-owners : We sometimes fear, and we have rea son to fear, that the scheme of the men now uppermost in the counsels of the North .is so to clog Southern industry with such impediments and drawbacks as to discourage and disgust those en gaged in it, and induce them to throw their lands into market. The glut of lands would be so great ns to reduce the pr ce to a standard that would ena ble .Northerners-to pick and choose, and purchase, up the desirable estates in every locality. The millions of unem ployed capital at the North could find no moro profitable investment. . The investment of. paper money in cotton lands would "be almost tantamount to its conversion into cotton, the equiva lent of gold, and without any loss of discount." Such a scheme, pertinacious-.' ly adhered to, might result, inthecoursej of a few short years, in an entire change in the proprietorship of the soil. The whole soil would be transferred to North ern hands, and cultivated by the negrq laborers now resident on it, who would be hired by the new owners at a scale of prices regulated by no competition, and adjusted at the option of the new owners. These new proprietors, thus Colonizing the South, would have all the-aid that friendlv Congressional Tc-.^. i j i limn Remit?: here, and the deputies of those remain' ing at home, would be chosen the Fed eral officers for the. several States che Judges, Attorneys, . Marshals, Clerks, Collectors of the Revenue. Post masters, ?cc. A part of the scheme would boto confer suffrage . upon, thc negroes, and then thc Northern settler? ana negroes, combining with the so called Union men of the South, woulc aspire to control the States in their iu ternal domestic policy. In process ol time, they would out vote the Sou then: whites, fill the State offices with their own men and make all the laws to sui: themselves. Owning the soil, havirg the labor of the negroes., faypredbya sympathizing Government in every re spect, they would reap and enjoy all the immense ^profits of the cotton, to bacco, sugar, rice, corn and wheat crop. In the meantime what would become of thc Southern whites after parting wiih their lands? In numerous instances they would be cheated out of the pur chase money. When honestly paid,.it would perhaps be invested in stock tlat would become valueless-some fancy stock gotten np for the occasion by shrewd New Englanders. If well in vested, in nine cases out cf ten the in terest would be inadequate as a suppoit. The principal would' haye to be en croached upon, untif interest, principil and all would be consumed. Then would bo presented the melancholy spectacle of almost a nation without lands without money, without employment. Would they come down to manual la bor ? If so they would have to work side by .side with the negroes, and on the soil they once qwflcd, for the'^ew England proprietors and task-masters, If they did not work, they and their families vp ul 4 haye, to" starye. Souie few might be abjs to ^migrate IQ ftjexi co, Brazil, Venezuela, but nine out of ten would not have the means to remore their families. A people thus hemmed in, thus pauperised, thus driven to des peration, would have but one resource -revolution. If successful, this might ?nabje them \q f'?cpysr. their lands and their lost position'. An earthquake, the forked lightning, an avalanche, are' not more to he dreaded than a brave race thus driven to the extremity of despair. -It matters not that they wquk} bo ultimately subdued ; that con sid?ration would' not perhaps deter thom. Their first rush would be upon the occupants of the lands'upon which they and their children were born and reared, and it'would1 be like the rush of hungry tigers upon their prey. In every aspect in which it can be viewed, a stringent, cruel, repressive policy towards t?ie Southern people is dreadful to contemplate. Although we see no symptom of relenting on the part of the Radicals, we cannot alto gether repress the hope that a merciful God will change the hearts of those ?rjgj pursue us with such inhuman ma lignity! If, however, t?iey shall con tiriUD to liarafiB ntid p?rtenle us, i?t pe bear it as well as wo may-let us draw togethor among ourselves, hold' aloof from strangers, devoto ourselves to such pursuits as may be still open to us, and resolve under no circumstances, to -part witlrW falrf* to persons not hnoivn to lc friends. Let ns determine tp1 any cross, submit tP any'iifccinvern incident tP their present cultiyj1 and hold thom m?. deaill 4epm of them/and imposa the same con in our wills upon Ali?se to ;whom they . shall descend. When the lands of the ! Southern peophg are alienated, the Southern race wal, in a few short years, become extinct'. They will'not'even have the privilege extended^to the an-1 cientJews, of being scattered among the nations of the earth. We do not imagine that any Ccugress. could be guilty pf the great iniquity'pf robbing us of imr lancls. For a direct robbery no defence could beunade. But * sometimes think that ?"the. ^Radical -^iMn'fes as. jUi^exp?dient and ?eraar-__. never part with them, this is a sacred duty which we owe to posterity. Dard Money for the People. The time is arriving when the people of this country will be in position to dscidc, irrespective of other political questions, upon a matter nearer to their individual and the national welfare t han all the rest. The point is whether spe cie payment shall be resumed and gold . and silver coin of the United States be substituted in place of the present depreciated greenbacks and pos tal currency. The living issues which divide the two' great existing parties are chiefly financial and economical. The former adherents of the Republican party, who joined and clung to it in order to ena ble it to carry out the special purposes for which it was organized, are now left free to consider whether it has a policy in regard to these present issues which entitles it to their , continued support ?Parties arise, from time to time, in "all countries, for the fulfillment of' certain missions. Having succeeded in what they set out to accomplish, they become worthless,-their ability to supply the next prevailing waut proves equal to their special aptitude for the previous work. When it becomes evident to the masses of the Republican party .that their party is unfitted, by reason of its political traditions and entanglement,? and the prejudices of its leaders, to se cure the fin/mcial peace and the busi TIPPS prosperity wh ch the nation now -;n k?mn tri ivlin party of the past, ana mut mc . eratic party is the party of the present and the future. Themission ot' the Re publican party was to enforce the abo lition of slavery through war. This it has accomplished. The mission of the Democratic party is to enforce equal rights for all men and a hard-mo ;ey currency foi the people ! This it has not yet accomplished ; the great work is still before it. The Republican party came into power, and flooded the coun try with a depreciated paper currency, which thrust gold and silver rapidly out of circulation, -and made them arti cles of speculative merchandize. . ^he plain and convincing record, printed elsewhere in our columns this morning, proves that thc Democratic party, in and out of power, has consist mtly up held a metallic circulating medium, and fought with its.might against what Kir. Madison called that " ghost of money," a paper promise to pay. The citations made from messages, and speeches of Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Bentou, Pierce, Buchanan, Silas Wright, Seymour, and others in thc line of Democratic statesmen, leavv no doubt of the faith lui persistence with which the groat ]Sf}(]ers ?? this party have con tended for an equitable currency for all classes of citizens. " If the people," said Mr. Silas Wright, " support and elect those men who are in favor of an unsound currency, they must expect to suffer the evils of de preciated paper." The people who sup ported the Republican party-depreci ated greenbacks and all-at a time when they held everything else subor dinate to/the successes which that party lias achieved, are called upon tq rpjlo.ct. If the people now want a sound curren cy, the power to secure it is in their Ipinds. " " Thc control which the p:ople have over the matter is through their respective "legislatures, State and na tional. If that control be exercised in favor of a sound currency, there must and will be a souiid currency, be cause both the Government and people The only party which will it, and has willed it from the first, is the Dem ocratic party. The Republican parly has willed just the contrary ; so that the people, *'ho have got all through the war and the moral questions per taining tp thp wfir, haye simply to choose whether they will vote with the party which has actively in hand this present practical interest of theirs, or with the party which has ignored and trampled upon it until it stultifies itself by pre tending to ha ve any regard for it at all. Mr. Benton','3 declaration that, if he " were to establish a workingman's par ty, it sliould be on the basjs-of hare} hard money party against a paper party"-was not even so perti nent in his time as it is now ; for the Democratic party, which has immemo rially identified itself with the working people, is here ranged actively in tho lista BSfijlj?f tilp prst paper party tpj the country over paw.

The Radical scallawags and carpet baggers of South Carolina have a hand some political scheme which they are attempting to make use of to inflame thc negroes. At Newberry, in that State, a few days since, a depraved wretch of the carpet-bag order made a speech to the negroes in which he ad vised them to refuse to engage them selves at any price to any one known to be a .Democrat, and that by that means the Democrats would not be able to cul tivate their lands-they .would liave to be sold for taxes, and then would fall into the hands of the negroes ai slight cost. This is the kind of talk the North ern jail-birds in the South indulge in ; this is the style of vermin a Jacobin Congress keeps large standing armies to protect ; and if a few of the decent people of the South knock thc head oft' such a reprobate, or dangle him to a tree, in their efforts to restore quiet to FRED. DOUGLASS, JR., THE SON-INT LAW OF THE PROFESSOR !-The journals of the country are circulating the an nouncement of the marriage of Doug lass, Jr., the nigger, to " the accomplish ed daughter of Professor A. Moly nediix Heatt, of Harvard University." This sounds well, and carries the idea that the Professor is a white man. Molyncaux-for he is not known . as Heatt-is a nigger who was at one time loafing about the English manu facturing towns as a prize fighter ; but Jow as are the English bruisers, we be lieve a white man and the nigger never made up a prize match. He was, how ever, picked up by some Harvard genius and brought over to give the students lessons in boxing, and his " professor ship" simply embraces the artof punch ing the heads of the collegians during their term of study.

The traffic, therefore, had a further lease of twenty, years, an interval which was most industriously improved. To the presence of these antagonistic races upon the same soil we owe all the horrors and calamities of the late civil war. With that frightful lesson so re cently before us, it might be supposed that we would not be inclined to encour age the immigration, of another for eign race as incapable of mingling with Visas the negro. But, even although j'ools are said to learn by experience, there are many people in the United States who do not. They encourage the. Chinese emigration to the Pacific coast; which, in the way it is carried on, is but-little, if any, better than the African slave trade. They favor it upon the same ground* ; that it will reduce the price of labor-reduce that which already is not half as well remu nerated as it ought to be for the inter ests of society.

This party has stood Otp . manfully for -the rights of the Southern whites. It has fought their battles over and over again. It has lost victories because of its Southern sympathies, An?l this is the party that the intelligence, worth and substance of the South are called upon to discard. "Wo know that the South saust and- should look out for herself.' We acknowledge that there is no wisdom in sentimentally clinging io obsolete notions, or in adhering to effete pplitical organisations. But, in our - judgment-, lae time has not yet come for us of the South to discard our Demo cratic alliance. That time may or may not come in the future. For the present, let us of the South pr .'servo our unity, remain true to our convictions, watch, labor- and wait. So far, at least, as the Democracy of South Carolina is con cerned, we feel assured that it. will res olutely close its ears to the blandish ments of the conservative Republican movement, and, avoid'ng this entang ling alliance, will hold itself aloof from the premature endorsement of an u^fc veloped and immature party movement, wh .?se. tactics have yet to pass the ordeal of an ampler examination and a keener criticism than it has yet been possible to give to them. ? In politics, as in war, to make a blunder is almost to commit a crime. The Davenport (Iowa) Democrat tells of a. singular caso of superstition: "Chatting with an aged lady, we noticed the wonderful preservation ^and beauty of her teeth, and could not refrain from mentioning it. ' Yes,' saidshe, ' I never laad a toothache or lost a tooth, because I bit the snake.' On inquiry, she stated that when children at home, her father had made them bite a rattlesnakeT he holding the reptile by the head and tail; each child bit iilong the entire, length of the backbone, not violently, but just so as to indent the skin ; and this was considered an infallible recipe against toothache and decay, and which the old lady believes up lo thc present hour." PASSING AWAY.-Departed this life on Saturday, August 21st, Mr. Robert Stewart, in the seventy-first year of his age. Mr. Stewart was one of our ol-, dest ard most successful merchants-, having been in business herc for tip wards of fifty years. He had a large family of children, eleven, we believe, all of whom preceded him to the grave. He leaves a widow to mourn the sad bereavement of her dearest earthly friend, counsellor and companion.
