He appears a hale and vigorous old man' ; his age is 'like a lusty winter, frosty but kindly.3 He ?L a good actor of papal sanctity and magnificence. He is dignified, and even majestic, in his bearing, and seems benignant and gentle in his expression.'? . A correspondent writing from California to the JSoidhern Recorder says: "Just here, let me say to -the many friends who write concerning coming to this country to better themselves: If you have a home, and can make a living, stay where yon are. If you come here .to buy land, you caunot'tell ?^ether yon have any title or not. The best of lue farming land is covered with Spanish grants. People here are seriously talking of emigrating to the Southern States, and by next spring quite a number Trill start." The Houma (La.) Civic Guard speaks thus of -tue ingoing crops : "Our planters have had a de? lightful spell of weather for planting cane, and, irom all we can leam,. have been improving the time. All the large plantations are being planted < in cane? - Only the small farms, where there are < jao sugar houses, will be planted in cotton. We ' hope all will plant plenty ot' corn. Rice will receive more attention than formerly, which, we are < pleased to learn, paid well last year. Most of the 1 freedmen have contracted for the year. In most 1 cases their wages have been increased; the aver- < ?ge price paid for men is about $15 per month and * rations. ' t The Montgomery Advertiser says of a recent f decision of the Supreme Court of Alabama : "The i ?ase of HAWKINS ts. NELSON was an action of ? detinue for a horse in Walker Circuit Court, and c the Supreme Court decides that where a horse, tho I c property of a non-combatant, was taken by the tm./ of the United States ; was abandoned by them and left on the plaintiff's premises, and was Afterwards regained by the owner, the plaintiff cannot recover him from the owner, by action at Jaw, without showing that the seizure by the army was authorized by the law of nations, as re? cognized by the published general orders for the regulation of the United States army." An ingenio is Scotchman has found a method of utilizing the hitherto wasted powers of the com? mon house mouse. He has invented a cotton spinning machine, so constructed that a couple of anice, if tossed into the right place, cannot help it. Jb is made on the tread-mill plan. A half-penny worth of oat meal will keep each mouse five weeks, and during that time it will do the work for which a woman is now paid nine pence. In other words, ?t will earn Beven shillings and six penco a year, which, after deducting six pence for board and a ?billing for wear and tear of machinery, leaves a net profit of six shillings to the employer. The in Tentor, it is said, is putting up ten thousand of these mills, with a view of getting his Uving out of them. Truly a mua-cular enterprise-a kind of fflice-enritcene-Uy.

CHARLESTON-. FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22, 1867. NAPOLEON'S ADDRESS. In the-opeuing of the session of tho Corps L?gis? latif, the Emperor mada his usual speech, which we published on Wedoeeday. Wo have already ad? verted to so much of its contents aa related to tho Mexican Expedition, in our remarks yesterday on Mexico. Tho nullity of tho treaties of 1815 ia again reaffirmed. Ho says that the great NAPOLEON'S idea is being rapidly fulfilled, uniting all the great homogeneous nations hitherto separated, and that thus only could a ame balance of power bo made possible. Tho successes he says, of events in Ger? many and Italy have paved tho way to it, but that these cannot disturb Prance. "I stood aloof and helped tho peace which Prussia, and Italy made without dismembering Austria." This much wo doubt not is true. But tho Emperor dooms it un? necessary to say how mnoh more he aimed at, and how greatly he was foiled by the superior sagacity" or statecraft of tho Prime Minister of Prussia. In fact not a word is said about that demand for a rectification of tho frontier on the Rhino, that made such a stir in Europe a few months since; unlesswe can readit in the following : "France is respected abroad; but the conditions of war being changed, she must increase her defences. The Army Bill has been so drawn as to lighten the burden in times of peace, and to increase the re? sources in times of war. Our neighbors assume far heavier burdens. Let us keep our flag high, as the best means of preserving peace.". This is the gilt of the whole speech, and, it is understood, tho Emperor is determined to carry out this military scheme co?te quicouie. In regard to the Eastern question, he simply says that "the g?eat Powers ought to act in con? cert to satisfy the Christians in the East, protect, the rights of the Porte, and prevent complica-, tiona,"-a consummation devoutly to be wished for, but simply impossible of reaction, as: it em? braces too many incompatible ?l?ments. Of Rome, he says, that the treaty of September has been executed, whereby the government of the Pope has been placed in a new phase, and he is sustained by his own strength and the the venera? tion of the great; Powers for the Head of the Church. Europe will sustain his temporal power against demagogues." Nous verrons ! * His Majesty next says "the perpetuation of Ans-: tria is necessary to the balance of power." If so, - why was Lombardy, and more recently Yan?tia, wrested from Austria and given to Italy ?. Ia it quite certain that the hetsrogenous el en oe usa that, constitute ..the population of what .is al present called Austria,-tho Germans, Magyars, Czechs; Wends, Scuaves^ etb.i eto., will not proceed to-work oat the problem of electivo affinity, so well begun a few years ago.By a growing segregation of na? tionalities ? ! "r The Emperor next said that he is "certain that the peace of the world is not to be disturbed^" then, why insist.on an: army of 1,200,000 men? However, we presumo, His Majesty's remarks aro to bo received with limitation-as only meaning th at the : Exposition, .soon. to bo :oponed, would bo brought to a peaceful -and successful close, j ~: j "Sure ol 'the. present;i ..and ;c?nid?ht. ofithe future," he ??xtsayg," "I haye taI?Ul^Y;b]tii' wishes in regard to. the development of our: institutions upon a liberal scale." This .ia all that is said in reference to the late decree', "enlarging tho liber? ties" of Franck, excepting tho ominous cor-eluding sentence : "Franco will use her new rights wisely." NAPOLEON is not'a man> or many words. Ho thinks much but says little. Wo cannot doubt that he understands tho situation aB well as any of his numerous readers and critics, and that he has said and done what he deems best under the present circumstances. He i? surrounded by numy didi - culties, which it must tax his energies te the ut? most to keep from overwhelming him, and making havoc of the fair fabric his skilful hands have constructed. We cannot agree with his Majesty in many of his views of public policy, but we cannot withhold our admiration for the wisdom and mas? terly ability with which he has steered .tho ship of State through the many storms she has encoun? tered since he has stood at the helm; and wo fully sympathize with him in his final exclamation, where he says: "I trust in my people, my right and my conscience. " TAXES IN SAVANNAH. The City Fathers of Savannah appear- to have their troubles, as well as other people ; and their trouble, as in so many other cases, can be traced to the root of all evil-money. Tho Committee of Ways and Means, in their anxiety to get all-they could imposed taxes, right and left, sometimes with judgment, and at others,, it would appear, without that wise precaution. It thus came to pass that without the fear of tho doctors before their eyes, they went and taxed physicians, not wisely but too well. Now it hath been ' said in olden times that doctors differ, but it would seem that the doctors of Savannah havo belied the old saw, and do not differ, but agree io resist this tax, and to do so for the following good reasons : 1. That the city had no right to require physi? cians to take out a license of fifty dollars, when they are already licensed by a power whose legal right to do so is not questioned. 2. They object that it is an oppressive tax. A physician is first required to take out a li con se from the United-States, costing hin ten dollars; one from the State, also costing ten dollars; tho Coun? ty of Chatham charges him five dollars for the privilege of practising within her borders, and finally the City of Savannah exacts the exorbitant Bum of fifty dollar;-' in addition-double all the others. In addition to all these taxes, he pays a oity tax on every dollar he earns, and on horse and onggy, if he has any. S. They urge that the phyaieians of Savannah, in their gratuitous attendance on the poor of the city, entitle them to an exemption from such ex? orbitant taxation. We are surprised to learn that Savannah has no dispensary physician; tho sick poor there must do as best they can, and are exclusively dependent for medical attendance upon tho charity of the practising physicians of tho city. What a con? trast Charleston offers to her neighboring sister in this respect. Here tho poor revel in a choice of ioctors. The city provides liberally; with the as? sistance of a private foundation, paying nine phy? sicians for thia service. Tho Faculty of the Mcdi ?alCollego also offer gratuitous medical attend? ance to the indigent sick, and will provide them with medicines, free of charge. Then wo have i choice of hospitals-the City Hoapital (tempo? rally organized, during the paBt two years, in the juilding formerly known as tho City Poor House) ind the largo and elegant Roper Hospital, pro? dded over by two skilful physicians, with compc ?ent assistants. Such is tho wealth of choice of? fered to the sick poor of Charleston. We had no dee, Savannah was BO far behind us; and hope that ihe will proceed more rapidly in her course of rc ?onstruction, and not depend on tho doctors tx iuaively to fill bor civio vacuum. A FRENCH paper says LAMARTLS'E received 150, 00 franca for his manuscript of the History of the '?esloration. AU other expenses of publishing paper, printing, binding, advertising, ?Sec., in iuding a dinner to tho author costing 133 francs), mounted to 114,564 franca and ten cculimea. 30,000 ia not bad pay for a work of tho severe his arical atatua, euch os thc ono above named; which, 'e have little doubt, LAMARTINE wroto with very ttlo preparation, and therefore in a compara? bly short space of time. Literature in France rings a belter price now than when BOILEAU aold is Lutrin for GOO francs, RACINE 200 for his Andro laque. 150,000 francs is a very respectable Bum hen we consider that BEBANOER lived poor, and .LFRED DE M?SSET, whoso works are among tho lost popular of the day, never waa much above ant. A ca?o arose in Italy under tho now law, allowing riests to marry. A registrar in Gonoa refused to laue tho proper papera for a priest who wished to B married. Tho matter was carried into court, id the first decision was in favor of tho registrar, at the higher court reversed it. _WANTS._ WASl'ED, IMMEDIATELY, AW EX PEREENCED MAN, to take charge of# Planirg Machine.
