Breslau has now a population of 181,278, an increase ol 26,000 over the cens?a of 1864; Erfurt, 40,555; Coloxne, 111,516; Elborfield, 68,000; Leipaic, 21,598; Nuromuurg, 71,798; Dusseldorf, 62,807; Essen, 40,430; Wurzburg, 41,596; Osnabr?ck, 19,674. -The Baltimore Sun, commenting on the letter of ex-Governor Perry, published yester? day, says: " i Lo vineyards in the neighborhood of Vesuviue, with the volcano in full blast, would be considered a safer investment for the future, and command a higher price than some of the best plantations in the cotton States. Proprietors are escaping from their property in the low lands as if the earth were auout to open beneath their feet, and the most pro? ductive region .of South Carolina is in immi? nent peril of relapsing into a wilderness of bar? barism." -The Messager de Toulouse says : "During tthe last few days a female clothed in the garb of the ancient pilgrims has attracted attention lhere, bhe is a young and handsome Spanish lady, named Saturnina Lopez y Alonzo. Hav? ing b.en attacked by cholera at Madrid, she made a vow that, should she recover, ehe would make a pilgrimage on foot to Borne and Jerusalem. She has performed her pions un? dertaking with astonishing courage. Setting out in Marah, she arrived at Borne on the 27th of June, and witnessed there the fetes of the canonization ; reached Jerusalem in due course, where she visited all the holy pince*, and is now returning home." -A Florence letter in the Paris Temps gives the following details respecting the situation of Italy and the state of parties: "Italy has not over 400,000 soldiers at present under Ehe j flag; her anny consists of only five classes of 50,000 each, those of 1862 to 1866, and the last named has not as yet assembled, although called ont. The number on paper is, therefore, 200.000. Instead of 200,000 needle guns and 60,000 Chassepots she is said to possess, Italy has only 25,000 guns of a new English ey stem. She will eventually have 200 000, 25,000 having to be delivered every month until that number is attained. As to the fleet, for ten first-class ships ot the line in tho port of Naples, read three of the second olass, and these only fit? ting out. Italy at the present moment is not ready for anything; such is the truth. -General Grant, says the Bound Table, has deserved well of his conntrj; and the people hare not been backward m conferring upon . bim substantial tokens that they recognized his merit. Men of all parties admired bis manifestations of good sense and his simple adherence to troth and duty when he was be? fore the Impeachment Committee. We be? hoved him strong enough to break through all the snares which wily politicians might set. They have tri-ped bun at last. If be does not hold himself bound to surrender back to the President powers which he derived solely from the President, be may not be ready, at the proper time, to surrender to the people powers With which they may entrust him. Instead of being a safe man, he may be the most danger? ous man in the country to whom the people could confide their interests. -To show how successful, and eveu popu? lar, co-operation has become, the New York Tribune notes that within two or three years the middle, and even some of the higher classes in London, have established societies among themselves. Not only this, but the ed? itor adds that "the civil servants of the crown have two large stores, one in the city and one at the West End. The city store is o?en to government clerks and their friends, who sometimes are of much higher rank. The j Weat End is composed of such members as clergymen and officers of the army and navy. The success of both these has beon far beyond expectation, and it is oouceaed that the whole system is indebted to the humble individual* who fought their way as the Bochdale Pio? neers. Perhaps, after a time business men and others of standing and means in the cities of the United Statoa may think it worth while to avail themselves of tho manifest advantages of co-operation." In tho meantime, as show? ing how co-operation is working among the mechanics iu England, it is mentioned taatthe London masons, plasterers, carpenteis and painters havo just held a general meeting, a mason in the chair, to organize a co-operative building society. Five hundred men h ave al? ready joined this organization, a majority of whom are masons and painters. It is esti? mated that Ave thousand shares of ?1 each will be taken np in a fe v weeks, and that the company will be prepared to undertake build? ing operations in March next. Operatives only will be admitted as shareholders, and tt.ke part in the management Of the company. Similar movements will, in time, probably be under? taken here. " im ? - mn -- CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MOEN LNG, FEBRUARY 7,1868. The Great Debate. On the 24th and 25th of January the two great speeches of the fortieth Congress were delivered in the Senate;-that on the Conservative side by Senator DOOLITTLE, of Wisconsin, against whom the Radical Daniel, Senator MORTON, of Indiana, was pitted in reply. The occasion is said by the Herald to have rivalled, in interest and in the importance of its issues, the great intellectual contest that still classes in his? torical association the names of DAKIEL WEBSTER and our noble and gifted HAYNE. The Senators took care to be present ; the members of the House pressed into the Sen? ate Chamber and oocupied the sofas; an im? mense crowd filled the galleries; there waa an appeal to every motive tbat could touch the publio spirit and personal ambition of the disputants. The argument of the Wisconsin Senator was less remarkable for the originality of j itB views, for it was a restatement of the constitution, than for the vigor and bold? ness with which he proclaimed that Radi? calism has, in the new Reconstruction bill, assailed the rights of the people ss well as of the States, and endangers no: simply this or that department, but the whole eya tem of government. If adopted, it will oonsummate a policy wholly revolutionary, and establish a permanent despotism. The speech waa an eloquent and powc rful ap? peal to the patriotism of the American people. The Senator from Indiana conciliated sympathy by his physical infirmity-a aemi-paralysis obliging him to sit while de? livering the Radical reply. His argument, plausible in its mode of presentation and effeotive in its delivery, loses its strength, however, when divested of all accessories, and considered in itself. His first point was, that, after the sur? render of LEE, the Southern States had no governments. Thus he confounded the Confederate with the State governments aa if the latter perished with the former an assumption utterly groundlt.5S. Had the fact been so, there would lave been some justification of the Radical policy; but it was notoriously not so. The State gov? ernments, duly elected by. the people, were in full operation, until they were disorgan? ized by a martial law maintained in a time of profound and universal peaoe. His second point was, that the constitu? tional olause, requiring the guarantee of republican form of government, made it th? duty of the United States to establish gov? ernments in the South. Mr. MOBVON seems to think that "to guarantee" means to cre? ate, and that a military despotism control? ling a military district ia a republic. It would be interesting to know what diction? ary he uses. His third point was, that tte United States Government could only guarantee the required republican form by a law into whioh Congress might insert whatever it judged advisable; being independent in th i > action both of the veto of the Executive and of the judgment of the Supreme Court. Mr. MOUTON declared that, in the presen; instance, Congress will tolerate no inter? ference with its absolute control, and will "take no step backward." Bu; now the argument manifestly involves a contradic? tion and defeats itself. An unoiecked leg? islature ia not itself republican, but rather a Venetian oligarchy which may extend and perpetuate ita power at will. It is simply absurd to say that an absolute Congress can guarantee a republican form of govern? ment. A republic overshadowed by the enaignB of an irresponsible sovereignty, would be in the condition of Peru under the Spanish protectorate-a lamb covered and devoured by a vulture. Such was substantially the argument of j the leading statesman of the Radical party, on an occasion when the most elaborate de? fence of its policy waa demanded. The Commercial Advertiser oalls for some CHAT? HAM or BURKE, aome CLAY or WEBBTEK io stand up, and, by irresistible arguments and indignant eloquence, restore the reign of justioe, reas.n and patriotism. The great debate which^we have thus briefly sketched, ehows that argument and elo? quence are wasted upon men maddened by fanaticism. The argument of the Wiscon? sin Senator was incontrovertible, but the aophiatries of the Senator from Indiana are more acoeptablc, beoause they flatter the passions of Congress and extend the lease of its power. Under such circumstances, truth and genius utter their appeals in vain. Thc Irish Land Question. The land question in Ireland ia the main source from which spring most of the evils which afflict that country, yet Lord ST .INLET has semi-officially declared that the land question will not receive the attention of the government. To compel men to support a religion which they do not believe, and build churches into which they never go, is an intolerance that admita of but little palliation, but the land question is a griev? ance of the most intolerable kind. Parlia? ment has clothed the Irish landlords with absolute power over the farms of their ten? antry. The landlord fixes the amount of rent, and placeB it at so high \ figure that it is only hy the hardest toil that the tenant is enabled to meet it. Should there bu a bad aeason and diminished ore ps, the ten? ant must take the poor house or the emi? grant ship. At any moment he may be turned from bia holding. He is at the mercy of the landlord or his agent, and is not entitled when ejected, to reoeive one cent for the improvements which by the expenditure of capital and years of hard work he may have made upon it. Is it then surprising that the Irish will not pay their rents, or that Fenianism* will not be sup? pressed ? -?
