A review of Northern assertions and Southern facts. By Dr. 1). ,M. TREZEA NT. It is an interesting pamphlet of 32 pages, and stamps S1nECIAN as tile great incendi-ary of ('ounbi.n. Price 25 cents. Stay Lws. We direct especial attention to the article under the above caption pub lished to-day all( taken from the Co lunibia Pho-nix of Friday. Brief as it is it is a wo.4 Itueid, compact and cogent exposition of the question and a forcible statelimit of both the ille gality and inexpediency fi 1LegislatiVe intrusion inl the ease. Before this sul-.. ject becomes a practical issue- just such views as those contained'in this extract, deserve to be- carefully pon dered over b y man iii the 'Dis terit. The ('uncillon. T1he greant event has hnapp.ened. Whethlier it wiill brinu forth the fruits expete, b:Y its advocates, a few nonthsiiY1 dee ile. Wo opposed it inl its icipiecy and in its progrins.sie 10annu6iln. I oileed it 1unwise arOd impolitic for the Snth to coim mit herself. T\e Rubicon is now pas,sed, however, and while we are still doubtful of the issue it may spring tuni us, we will tid as far as our anumble inilituee goes any whole some tendencies that may result frov the PHiladelphia Convention. We are not disappointed that the Conven tion ineorporated some of the very object ionale feat mies to whiIb we so ofton directed attention, and which formed a part of that very National Union Club upon which we announced the call was inade. There are numbers of us who will always congratulate ourselves that, no vote of, ours ielpad to form that Con vent ion, but ue (id not expect to fiini such friends iof the measure as tihe ColtiuYia /lornix raising serious oh a nh g in iNto the wigwm in finld e rae. 'at. is apInerile mater comi,armed to the.t other greater oliecial act of S:o1hon delegates solemnly dleclarimng t hat nose wrho killed their sons, outher aind fricnds are worthy of thL.r gray.. tudle andi fmnov. But not even for th is ul n ih hold our sanction from evt'hM~qIinta may growv out of the Convention. We disclaim any part or lot however in that act. We hnope the ver'y highest expecta tions of the nmost sanguii ine fr ionds of it may be reali?cd. None will 1 e gratified more than we, at such a re sult. If its mia in object, thle defeat of the Radicals, he effected, while we sh.all ever repudiate thme p)rincipiles dle grading to us, upon whichn the C'onven.. tion was called, we amay niot regret that it met.

A well-known clothing merchant in Loui, ille, Ky., recently married a woman in Cincinnati, and took her to his home in Louisville. A few days after, she stoLi $2000 from his trunk and dirppeared. The Confede-ate dead who fell at the battle of Beech Grove and Ifoov er s q, in Coff*oe county, roenv,esee have been taken up and buried by citizens of that section, who intend to crect a ioninuent to their memory. Reports received from various parts of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa- and Indi annat, are to the effect that the wheat crop1 will be llore than in average one inl respect to both q;uantity and qaii '.The barley, oat and ryelcop also promise well. The Sant a-Anna-Orte(I-a conspiracy issaid to be formidable, eiblIraCing the Arch-bishop of Mexico and other promnlnent personls. The ne-w miniiistry is said to be very unpopular with the native Mexicans. Insurrect ion recently took place in the State of Vera Cruz, and 500 Austrians sent to qiuell it were captured. A iman l 1 Hartford advertised re cently that oi receipt of a certain sum, he would by return mail instruct any applicant how to m1akC a fortune. Iis directit)ns were : "Peddle eigars, half flavana and half home-made, as I did, and always be ready to pick tp a stray ehicken." The New York lWrorldstates that a combination of capitalists in New York have bought $6,000,000 in geld, and intend to buy more, in order to run up the price when there is a favor able opportunity. At the Stockholm exhibition the first prize for breech-loaders was awarded to the H1agstrom needle-gun. ihe government has purchased the in vention for 10,000 thaleis, and the troops are to be armed with this gun in the autumn., A French saivant has discovered the imeans of reidering the hardest and toughest flesh soft, niamoly, by adding while boiling two teaspoonfuls of alco hol to each kilogramme and a half (if flesh.

The territory claiued by Napole-oii is principally PrusS,iai, and is inl itself too insignificant to eibar rass those wlw are soon to meet for the prpose of carving and. dismembei ing kingd-mis as if they were turkeys or plheasaints. It is t61ribly sigiifilant, however, as the protest of the Prench Emperor against the design of Pris sia, after ejectiiig A tistrina from the German Confederation to illvko her self mt istrves of thc whole of Gterinantv. It isa mortal blow imiled at Conit Bismark, at the' womeiat when he saw nio obstacle inl the way following up the grat Prusianl victory at Sadowa with the most glorious results for his country. Napoleon holds, we suspect, a very strong hand. .1 is deand for this part of German territory, which Napoleon I. added to France, is simply a polite form of i'ntimation to Prussia that lie does not intel that the plans of Count Bitinarck shall be carried out.
