NEW BOOKS.
?EBVICES ANO HYMNS, for the Use of tho Unitarian
Church of Charleston, & C. Enlarged Edition.
Charleston : Printed by Joseph Walker, Agent, corner
Meeting and Market streets. 1867.
This book, of ovor 800 pages, is by far tho finest
piece of typographical mechanism we have seen
issued in this city, and reflect? much credit on the
gentleman whose imprimatur it boars. The
arrangement, selection of types for head lines, etc.,
is very tasteful ; type, ink and paper, all of tho
best ; tho binding also a master-piece of its kind.
The book consists of the ono formerly used by
this congregation, with some additions, taken
chiefly from the new collection of Sei vices recently,
put forth by a number of the leading Unitarian
Ministers of England. "Tho only important
alteration," says tho Preface, "other than this, is
in the directions as to posture during worship. It
has been -thought advisable to recommend kneel?
ing during prayer, as more devotional than stand?
ing ; and standing during praise, as moro suitable
and natural than sitting."
THE CHRISTIAN H nra AL,-Hymns with Tunes for the
Services of thc Church, compilen and edited by Bev.
Frank SewalL Philadelphia : J. B. Lippincott & Co.,
1867. Charleston ; J. M. Greer.
This is a very neat collection of hymns and
tunear which should-- find n --place in every
I kristian household. The hymns ore divided into
two parts, the first comprising those on the Incar?
nation and Redemption, arranged in the order of
the Gospel Narrative, ox tho Christian year; tho
second containing General and Occasional Hymns,
arranged occording to their topics.
The materials of this volume, says tho editor in'
tho preface, have been collected from the wide
range of English, German and Latin sacred poetry
and harmony, both old and now. To a number of
hymns of genuine excellence, endeared and fa?
miliar to us from long usage, and wedded to iheir
qnaint but pleasant old melodies, the compiler bas
added many "beautiful modern English hymne and
tunes, together with a good number of celebrated
German hymns, in most cases translated in their
original metres, and set to their proper chorals.
Versions of a number of tho old Latin Hymns, tho
favorites of many ages, have also been introduced,
and these, with the German translations and
chorals, are, it is behoved, now for the first time
made accessible to singers of sacred music in this
country. A number of the translations and hymns
are original, and have never before been pub?
lished.
Among the Latin hymns we regret to miss the
Dies Ira; and Slabat Maier, but aro thankful for
others of equal excellence, and but little less re?
nown, as THOMAS AQUINAS' Pangc lingua gloriosi,
BERNARD DE CLUNT'S Salve Caput CTU^ntatum,
This collection is for purposes of devotion only,
not for the gratification of the scholar. There is
on almost entire absence of historical or explana?
tory notes of any kind ; such as we have in tho
rich collection of Archbishop TRENCH'S Early Latin
Hymns, and in many other works on hymnoldgyv
The collection from the best German hymns is
well made. Here also we of course miss some we
.should have been pleased to have had, but Mr.
SEWAixhas presented:us; with excellent trans?a-'
tiona of a number of hymns, . approved and widely
sung by the entire German Church. Among them
LUTHER'S "Eine feste Burg ist unser Gott;'' PATTE
GERHARDT'S "Befiehl du deine Wege," translated
by JOHN WESLEY, ; ANGELUS' "Guter Hirto willst du
nicht," and GERHARDT'S rendering of "Salve empufc
cruenta tum"-"O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden.?'
This book, as we have already said, is a decided
acquisition for. every refined and educated Chris?
tian family in the land!
PLUTARCH ou. the Delay of the Deity in Punishing the
Wicked. X.,Tised edition, with J?oteg by Professors '
rirH^B. Hacket andt W. S. Tylor. New'-Soik : TL Ap
'. picton k Co., 1867 ; Charleston, John Russell. >
' This treatise of the old philosopher, whot was
"?J? almost a..Christian," (as the learned WYTTES
-BACH speaks of bim,) is , expected to be specially
useful to theological students,:as a means of keep?
ing up their knowledge of the Greek language, and
making still further progress in it.. This treatise
of PLUTARCH has been selected, because it boara
otra question that most have : been.of oil the most
perplexing to the thought fol heathen ; viz : how
the impurity, and not unfrequently the signal pros?
perity of the wicked, can be reconciled with the
.doctrine of a just Providence ; or, in other words,.
with the belief of a Deity-who observes the right'
.and the wrong of human actions, and governs a
world according to the principles ' of.. a righteous
moral retribution.
The text used is in. .tho main WTTTENBACH'S. AB
elaborate treatise on the "Structure and Argu?
ment of tho World," precedes the critical land
philological notes ; and the question " Had PLU?
TARCH any knowledge of Christianity ?"nis answer?
ed in the negative in an Appendix.
, The typography of the work is excellent, as dif?
ferent as can be, from the medias val Greek books.

The chapter relating to VOLTAIRE, . and. his cor?
respondence and personal intercourse with the
Kjiig,.i8-perhapis the' most interesting part of the
voltune. 'Their firstsmeeting is" thus'' sketched by.
the authoress : .v.:-..:' . . .'.3.1 -O ? ,i
The King awaited Voltaire with impatience, and
now he heard the rolling of .carriage.wheels', then
the opening of doors, then the sound of voices.! In.'
the: first impulse-of joy he sprang from; his' ?ffeet
and advanced eagerly to, meet Voltaire, butreach
irrpr the t?iroahofa of the door ho stood still ' and
considered. "No," said he, "I will not go to meet'
him-he would mock st me, perhaps boast of it."
He turned back to his chair, and tock up the book' '
he had been reading. And now some one tapped j
gently upon' the i door, a servant appeared and"
announced "Monsieur Voltaire," and now"a figure
stood upon the door sflL , . .', I
Thu man,-with' small; contracted chest,' with .?.;
back bowed down by old age or infirmities: this
man,-with the wondrous countenance, of which no
one could decide if it was the face of a satyr or a
demigod; whoas eyes flashed with:-faeavmiiy in
.spirAtion at one momont,-and ut ?h? n?xtigfpwed
with demoniac fire: whose lips were distorted I by"
the most frightfulj grimaces or relaxed into tho*
most enchanting smiles-this man is Voltaire. ; Ai
As Frederick's - glance:met those burning eyes,
he forgot al! ?Ase, his royalty, his dignity, even
Voltaire's baseness and vanity; he wasio him the
spirit of the age, the genius of the. world, and he
hastened to meet him, opened his arma wide, and
pressed lum. tenderly to: his heart. "Welcome,
welcome, my lord and master," said the Hing;1"!
receive you, as becomes a pupfl, in my school?
room, surrounded by my-bookB, whose mysterious
lessons, of ": wisdom, yotv my-teacher,!'will make
dear.?' ; >? -, ]? r . ' ";.-. ? !
r \ ltQn the'. contrary, sire," said .Voltaire,, with a
soft voice and a most enchanting smile-"on the
contrary, you receive me with all the- pomp of
royalty seated upon a throne, which is not yours
by inheritance, but which you have conquered;
upon the. throne of knowledge and learning,
crowned with the laurels which the gods conse?
crate to heroes and poets. Alas! my..eyes axe
dazzled by the lustre which surrounds me. I bow
in humility before this lordly head adorned by two
royal croons and reigning over two mighty King?
doms. - Receive me, sire, aa ari ambassador from
the realm of poets, whose crown you wear with so
muoh grace and dignity." jr
. ; Frederick smiled kindly. "Lat nie be. only* a -
burgher and your comrade-in-arms in the republic
of letters," said fae.. "I hold republics generally an
impossibilities, but I believe m a republic of iot
ters, and I have a right republican heart, striving.:
after liberty, equality, and brotherly love. Be
member this, friend, and let us forget at Sans?
souci that your comrade is sometimes the first:
servant of a kingdom. And now, tell .me how you .
have borne the fatigues of the journey, and if yon
hare been received at every station with the mark?
ed, attention I had commanded.** ' . . I '
.'.Tes, sire, everywhere in Prussia I have felt
myself almost oppressed, humbled, by your great?
ness. How great, how mighty, how powerful,
must your majesty be, when I sin BO distinguished^:
so-honored, simply because I enjoy your, fsvorl
This honor and this pleasure alone have - given, me
strength fox my journey. My friends in Paris-1
thought it absurd and ridiculous for me, in my",
.miserable condition, t-o attempt so fatiguing a
iourney. But, sire, I was not willing to die before
; bad once more sat at the feet of this great anti
yet simple man, this exalted yet genial philoso?
pher. I wish to revive and quicken my sick heart
at this fountain of wit and wisdom. I come,
therefore, not as Voltaire, but as the tragio Scar
ion 'of your century, and. throughout ,my whole
.Journey I have called myself the 'Invalid of the-'
King af Prossia." "
And plenty more in the same strain, each of the
two interlocutors doubtless tbinlring all the while
that he was bamboozling the other.

This is of the same interest, pleasing the reader
all the more j b6*?use he is flattering himself white
reading it, that ho is engagod in the very laudable
pursuit of acquiring historical knowledge. And,
mawnuoh.-.as these novels treat of a historical po
riod, which would otherwise remain a sealed book
to the great majority of American readers, we aro
perfectly willing to repress any lingering doubts
wo may have, as to the propriety of this very pleas?
ant, but not otherwise altogether unobjectionable
mode of pursuing historical researches.

and thc men under them. By J. Marshall Crawford,
of Company B. New York : G. W. Carleton & Co.
Charleston : John Russell.
This is essentially a Virginia book. The heroes,
whose exploits are hore celebrated, are nearly all
Virginians, and their sphere of action was almost
exclusively confined to a few counties on the South?
ern slope of the Blue Bidge, in Virginia. There
aro likenesses in the book of all the more distin?
guished officers and scouts connected with MOSBT'S
command; but we do not think the work will have
much of a circulation beyond* the borders of the

THE SHENANDOAH ; os Tax LAUT COFTFDEBATE CBDXSEB,
by Cornelius E. Hunt, (one of her officers). New York:
G. W. Carleton A Co. Charleston: John Russell.
Instead of reading this book, and writing are
view, we prefer to copy a notice of it. from the last
number of tho Hound- Table, which we h?vo no
reason to consider other than just :
The age is rich in puerile books, and the public
has grown very lenient, but this is even below the
poorest endurable standard of weakness and folly.
? mere transcript of the log of tho Shenandoah
might have historical valuo and serve a possible
future use: but the "heavy lightness"; ana ''seri?
ous vanity" of an attempt like Air. Hunt's are fit
for nothing but the paper makers. There has got
to be so preposterous a deluge of sketches and
personal "travels," "reminiscences," and the like,
and readers have accepted them so tolerantly, thai
it really seems to be forgotten that, before rushing
into print, there is some propriety in learning how
to write English. A' sailor'may be pardoned,
perhaps, for not being a literary purist, .and wo
might forgive occasional inelegances if they were
redeemed by vigorous style and interesting ; inci?
dent. But the latter essentials, tire precisely those
in which Mr. Hunt's book, is conspicuously
deficient. The few striking passages which
befell the Soaking, . alias the Shenandoah,
the author, with uniform address; contrives to make
dull and commonplace in tho narration; while ?he
staple of the cruise, devoted as it chiefly was to
destroying blubbery, but otherwise inoffensive,
old whalers, can only be read with a mixture of
ennui and indignation which ia anything but agree?
able. The attacks, too, upon Captain Waddell,
whether justified by facts or not, have a sinister
look, for we do not like to find a man assailing his
superior officer, whatever the cause, when the lat?
ter is placed by circumstances in a defenceless po?
sition, and the hearing of his case is thus ren- ?
derod an altogether ex parle one. "Tho book is
substantially trivia!, school-boyish, and, worse
than all for this kind of book, surprisingly dull;.
and the dash of malevolence .which, like the sting
of Martial's epigrams, winds up the tale, leaves an
impression as unfavorable to tho author's gener?
osity as the j impression previously made is unfa?
vorable to his taste, culture, -and literary capacity.
Trash of this.sort, whether written by Northerners
or Southerners, 'has been dealt with far too light?
ly, and it is high time a little truth were spoken of
it;' if only , to warn publishers to bo chf.rv of the
credit of their imprint, and to have som.? little re?
spect for the patience, as well as the intalligenee ?
of their readers. .?. .. ? ? r: j' | '
THE BHXIT.AK.Tr RECONS'BJBUCTION BILL.
.' _ " " ' _ i
THE MISSISSIPPI PETITION-ARGUMENT IN THE CA8T
'_ I
The following extracts contain the points made
in the argument in support of the p?tition of the
State of Mississippi, enjoining the execution of
?the Military. Reconstruction: Bill;; which was offer?
ed in the Supreme Court of tho.-,United States on
Friday Hst. jj Tho. great length of thi?, argument
precludes our'publishing i I' in" fulL It will" bo de?
livered before the-Court on Friday next. After
stating tho terms of tho act, the argument says : -
The first questiohis, do the acts of Congress be?
fore referred to violate the Federal Constitution ?
Such was the opinion-of the President of the Unit?
ed States, aa expressed in his veto messages,' and
we shall bet.state the supposed points of 'conflict
without extended argument. The-acts in question
violate the compact with Georgia of 1802, the ordi?
nance of 1787, made- under the compact with "Vir?
ginia, both of which compacts were extended to
Mississippi, and .made ''unalterable'', andi "final
and conolnsive" by Congress and so accepted by
-thu State. These acts annihilate a State; they de?
stroy the State Constitution of Mississippi of
1817, accepted by Congress, aa well as the amend?
ed State Constitution of 1865, established by' the
people.
. If there 'was any fatal irregularity-, in the State
constitution of 1865. which is denied, that would
not territorialize the! t?tate or abolish the Stated
constitution of 1817. These acts deprive the State.:
of that representation in the two Houses of Con?
gress constantly and. forever- secured, by the Con?
stitution. They substitute military rule for that
of the civil hw; they repeal the right of habeas
corpus in tune .of .peace; they deprive men of life,
liberty and property without due process of law;
they subject chem to arrest without warrant found?
ed on affidavit: tho y deprive them of the safeguard
of a grand and petit jury. If all this may bo right?
fully done, then these acts may be constitutional.
Second.-Tho next question hs. are there proper,
parties to this suibas cxi'mplainantand defendanta ?
The Constitution declares that "the judicial power
shall extend to all cases in law and equity arising'
-under this Cons litut ion, tho .- laws .of the United
States, and treaties made.or which shall bo made:
under their authority:" And rt also declares, that
"in. all caaes affecting ambassadors, other public
ministers, and those in which a State -is a party,
the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdic?
tion.'' This is a case in eauity,.as will be shown
hereafter. It arises under {berConstitution, and. a
State is party- complainant.' That a State may soe
by original bill' in the Supreme Court of the United'
States has been settled by this Court.
. . It is important, however,- to> consider;-whether
the President ,pf the United States can'-be made a
party - de f?ndaUtiio tivis- b?llj-inaBmnch' a's there is :
no precedent directly to the point. Tot it is' be?
hoved ; the question bas been yirtuaPy settled I by
very high, authority, - It is important, in thi3 con?
nection, to mark the distinction between what axe
called pohtioal powers and suchias aremjnwterial.
In the'exercise of d?scr?t?onary of political powers
courts will nob undertake to cohtrol the action of
officers r, but; not sb: with regard to. ministerial
-duties, lil tile exercise of which "noone is above
the law,.however exalted his-position, r Fortunate?
ly wo have neither.a King, nor ah Emperor; nor a
.Parliament who axe omnipotent or above the Con?
stitution. -. ;"''' ' : .-'.'Jw.'.
Our Constitution declares .that ."the judicial
power shall extend to- all arses in : law. and equity '
arising under this Cortstit?t?an," : &o. 'Amdjthus
the judiciary- aro made tho .guardians ana pro-,
teetora af the Constitution. "
The President is but the creature of the Consti

The subpona dttc?? '??cvt?iwS?s only a commatid

tiuolar thing under a void authority. 'The princi?
ple & the same in tho two caaes, as-well as; the
means of coercing obedience, and the reasoning bf
Chief Justice Marsball completely reaches"andset?
tles the question now before this Court. ..The Con?
stitution - provides that all officers may., be-. irh
: peached; but- this does, '.not exonerate thom from
personal.liability for acta done under oolor of 'of?
fice- the President as well aa other- officers. -Th6
whole question hes within a narrow compasa. Tho
Constitution > ?B st?preraB, ' all officers are subordi?
nate to the supreme law, and CDnseqnently subor?
dinate to the ?nmnand of that d?partaient whose
dnty it ia to enforce subordination, by declaring the
moaning, the exient,-and , the. hnntation* of the.
Constitution. ' . : : i:;;:?v;ci: ,.
1?ivlf the President be exempt,'- why not all his
Cabinet officers? They all ccustHnto but parta of
tho Executive j Department of the Government. "
Yet in the ase of MabryMs. Madison, 1 Cranch, it
was decided that the acts <5f tho Secretary, of State
were the acts of tho President, and toot the Secre?
tary might"be subjected iw.the process ot manda
itmi: why would ii not just as well lie against the
President.-, It .would ?be strange, indeed^ io hold
that the subordinate ia liable and may be sued tar
acts which are- the acta of his prmmpa?;--attd yat
that the principal is not liable aiVi cannot bs sub?
jected to-the process bf law. .'Even more recently
this Court baa decided that officers of .tho Execu?
tive Department ar? hable to the procesB of the
Court. (See Kendall vs. Stockston, l? Peters, 524;
United States w. Guthrie, 17 Howard; 854.) The
case of Ellis vs. Earl Gray, 6 Simons, 2?4, is a lead?
ing case in. England, .and- bas been approved itt
thia Court. In tfaatcssef ft "wat'deciaeorthat the
Lords of the Treasury, constituting the prominent
department of tho Executiva Government, might
be enjoined by the Judicial Department. In that
country the King is suppoaed to be above the law,
auclit^s tho fountain of justice, yrthia immediate
country thodi?e*id^teio^6t above tho law; it is
above him, and heneo he muet be subject-?b i
restraints- * .?.. ? *. . s> ..
Third.-Does tho bill present a case proper for
the interposition of this Court ? Tho Constitution
gives to the Federal Judiciary equity jurisdiction,
and it is a familiar principle that wherever juris?
diction is givou over a particular subject or a par?
ticular branch of jurisprudence, it is ample for all
purposes connected with the subject or the branch
of jurisprudence.' Therefore the jurisdiction of
this court is ample to take cognizance to tho full
extent over all subjects of equity jurisdiction. Wo
have then bat to present such a case as equity
would take cognizance of, and the relief will be
granted to the utmost extent of the powers of a
court of equity. Thc great distinction between
remedies at law' and equity is this: a court pf law
gives redress or damages for injuries, and a court
of equity will prevent their occurrence. .
The one con do nothing more than give com?
pensation in damages, while tho other will save
the party from a resort to the remedy for damages
by preventing the mischief. And even if there be
a remedy at law which is inadequate, a court of
equity will tako jurisdiction. But in this case
there is no remedy at law. It is a case in which
equity alone can ?ive relief. If there be no reme?
dy, then the Federal Constitution is not, os de?
clared, the suprome Hw of tho land, since a! mere
majority in Congress may exclude States, as it has
done in this instance ; it may blot out States, and
State constitutions, and State governments; or it
may assume and exercise the absolute power to
govorn them. If this may be done in the South?
ern States, it may just as well be done in other
States, and the will of a majority in Congress is
the supreme law in all cases whatsoever. The peo?
ple of tho States which framed the Federal Gov?
ernment, surely did uot think it possible that thoy
were creating a power that .could destroy their ex?
istence as States, and yet this has been dono with
four of the original States that created the Gov?
ernment.
This bill presents several grounds, on either of
which a court of equity may rightfully take juris?
diction and giro the relief sought. *
Fourth-AB this legislation must have proceeded
on the idea that the southern states ?re not i???i
bers of the Union, let us, in the last place, inquire
whether they were in the Union during the rebel?
lion, have been in ever since, and are so now. Ti
they have continued to be and are so now, then
surely these acts have no constitutional basis.
The union of the States under the Articles ol
Confederation of 1778, as well as under the Consti?
tution, .vas a "perpetual Union," and could not bt
dissolved by act of Congress or the attempted
withdrawal of any portion of the people of a State.
If Congress cannot dissolve the union, it cannot
exclude any Slate from the Union, for if it mai
exclude one State,' it may exclude any number o:
States, and thus-accomplish a result forbidden tn
the- Constitution. The secession ordinances, s<
far. as their legal effect wes concerned, were men
nullities. .These ordinances were nullities whei
enacted, and they acquired no legal or constitu
tiona! force by subsequent events. The assom
blage which onacted these ordinances had no mor.
legal or constitutional power than popular meet
in gs. They were not only illegal, but insurrection
arv. The State constitutions, framed under thesi
ordinances, were milli ties diso, because,the Federa
"Constitution-expressly declares, in imperative lon
guage, that "this Constitution shall be the su
preme law of the land, anything in the Constitu
tion or laws of any State to the contrary notwith
standing." L
The s?cession ordinances boing nullities, th
subsequent State constitutions based upon thei
were nullities, 'because the constitutions of all th
States are required, as we have seen, to be alway
subordinate to the Federal Constitution. The sui
sequent so-called Legislatures and Governors, an
all other officers, oivii and military, acting nude
these insurrectionary proceedings, whether t
Montgomery, Bichmond, the State capitals or els?
where, had no legal or constitutional anthont;
not "only for the above reasons, but also becaut
they Were ali required first to take an oath to sui
port the Constitution of the United States, I
fact, the whole proceedings, commencing with th
secession ordinances, down to the last act of ti
drama, were part and parcel of a great insurrei
tion, wholly illegal,. and totally forbidden by th
Constitution.. But surely an unsuccessful insu
recition in any State, although it might subjoct tl
individuals concerned to punishment, could' ni
force any State from the Union, : confer- any sue
power on Congress, or effect in any way tho Fet
eral relations of the State.
Although Congress can suppress insurrectioi
whether of ai minority or majority of the people :
any State, yet it cannot declare war against a Stat
or treat it as a foreign Power, or coerce dr punii
a State in its corporate capacity. Such a powe
las' shown by the Madison Papers, recording tl
proceedings of the Convention which framed tl
Federal ' Constitution, was then asked from th
Convention, and expressly refused. The princip
reasons for this refusal were:
First-Because (unlike tho Confederation of 177
the Constitution acted only on individuals, andu
upon States.
Second-Because the power to suppress inst
rection in any State, and punish the individui
concerned, waa sufficient.
And third-The Convention would not errs
power to Congress to declare- war against a Sta
or punish a Stator-or inflict any pains,, penalti es,
forfeitures upon it, because such an author
would carry with it tho power to expel a State :
d?finit ehr from the .Union, or to treat it as a cc
quered foreign proviace. The "Union of all t
States under the Constitution was intemded to
indissoluble, either by State or.;Fedornlanthorit
We know that tho refusal'of the. Convention whi
tramedthe'Constitution to gnuit to Congress t
power to make war-upon a State, br to coero
State in its corporate capacity, has been most i
roneoualy cited as justifying the resistance in t
South to the armies of tho Union; but those'
mies, as expressly declared by Congress, did i
march to destroy States,..but,. under the pov
granted by-'the Constitution, fito .execute the lit
of tho 'Union ' and suppress" insurrections," i
could tho performance of these duties by the Fe?
eral Government be arrested by any State law
ordnance whatsoever. . - .
^--Indeed, not only did Congress never, declar? w
bu1; it commenced (before Congress was convent
under the proclamation of President Lincoln,
suppress azt insurrection, and was ao continued'
Congress throughout the conflict. Similar vie
were set forth by President Jackson, after the
cession ordinance of South. Carolina, in his gr
proclamation of 1832, carried out by the force bil
that date, and by the army and navy under the cc
maud ot Scott and Elliott ati -Charleston. Si
?were the views expressed-by Daniel'Webster in
.incomparable - speeches of -that date ; such w
the opinions of Henry. Clay, Martin Van Buren, i
all the Union patriots of that date ; 'such was
action of /Congress in suppressing the whiskey

1807,' although sanctioned by the L?gislature ?
Governor of Pennsylvania ; such'the action of

cession of 1832 ; such was the action of Congi
and of Presider. L Lincoln throughout the rec
rebellion, and buch has been the -uniform opir
of this Court.; Congress- never: did declare
against a State, or attempt to punish a State

as the exertion of such a power,- If the peo

THE RUMOR OF WAR.
The Paris Bourse has been almost in a state of
panic, over the publication of the secret treaties
of Prussia with the Southern States of Germany.
Bismarck has thrown off the mask. It looks as if
he were working to construct an. imperial throne
for King "William, Austria and all Germany to be
invited to the Grand Parliament. Just as soon as
M. Bouher replied to M. Thiers in the French
Chambers, that the Western Powers would readily
form an alliance to check the march of Prussia,
Bismarck proclaims to France and Europe that
Prussia is bound to keep straight forward in her
course, let the Western Powers do what they will.
It looks os if Napoleon had been a second: time
overreached by the sagacious but bold statesman
of the North; whereas, before he had suffered Na?
poleon to think himself a mediator between Prus?
sia and Austria, now he tells him openly
that he submitted only to begin anew ? with
the first favorable opportunity. The river Maino
is not,, then, the boundary of North Germany;
Prussia, under those treaties with the Southern
States, commands their entire military force,
threatens France on her eastern boundaries, and
defies her to interfere with the gigantic plans that I
have been mapped out. England can do nothing.
Russia cannot but have serious apprehensions
about it. Austria may be willing to form an' alli?
ance with France to resist the progress of Prussia,
although she was last year kicked out of So J them
Germany herself, and need not be sensitive to any
additional insult now. unless she chooses. It has.
boen thought that the great Exhibition would com?
mand peace for this year, at any rate; that may be
the very reason why Bismarck crowds Napoleon as !
he does. The latter could hardly attend to ari {
Exhibition of all nations and carry, on a war at the
same time and do justice to "both, and this the I
Prussian Minis ter understands.-Boston Poet.
SEQ AB BO xxa.- AB many business men are; sub?
jecting themselves to a heavy pextealty by their ig- I
notant violation of the thirty-second section ai the
revenue law passed at the close of the Thirth-ainth
[ Congress, it is stated, for all concerned, that the I
section in question enacts--' ' " ?,- -.- ?;. ?
- " That any person who shall sell, give away, or j
otherwise dispose of any empty segar box or Boxes
which have been stamped, without first defacing
or destroying such stamp, shall, on conviction of
either offence, be liable to a penalty of one hun-,
dred dollars, or to imprisonment not exceeding
sixty days, or ' both, in the discretion of the court,
with the costs of the trial ; and it shall be lawful
for any segar inspector or revenue officer to; des?
troy any empty segar box upon which, ? cigar
stamp shall be found."
RATLEOAD ACCIDENT.-We learn that a freight I
train coming east on tho W?mington, Charlotte !
and Rutherford Railroad ran off the track yester?
day some five miles from Riverside:' Tile accident
occurred on an embankment, and five or six cara
were badly broken or thrown over. The. inward |
bound mail train was delayed a short time, and the I
passengers brought to town by a portion of the
freight train. The road will not be clear until thia
afternoon, probably, but the regular mail train
will go out as usual this morning, transferring ;
