LONDON, July 26.-Telegrams received from Borne annomnco the important intelligence that the Papal'police have jost discovered a mine which had been hollowed. ont and charged so aa to" trio ;? up, when exploded, the new and extensive fortifications which are be? ing constructed on Mount Aventino under the . direction af French and Roman engineers. Two of the sen tingla . on duty near the works were assaulted and wounded a few nights since. It was feared that the Roman reactionaries or Garibaldiansi or both, contemplate a serious movement in or near the Eternal City at no distant day.' j 1 Near the location of the mine and in the neighborhood of the camp on ?be Mount the police fonnd and took possession of a number of red and black shirts. r . The Garibaldiaua'have pretty generally sub stituted a black shirt, inscribed with the letters "V. M.," or "Vengeance for Montana," em? broidered in white on the breast, for tbe his? torio red tunic worn so persistently by their well known Teteras leader. The simultaneous occurrence of these suspi? cious events has excited tba Pontifical authori? ties tb unusual vigilance. Tba licenses haye been withdrawn from all I] the wine shops tifcuated in the Roman Cam pagua, and every place of seeming'congrega? tion for tho Radicals is closely, watched. * The 'Papal Government has been considera- 11 bly disturbed lately by statements of a re? newal and extension of clandestine revolutiona? ry intrigues against the temporal authority of the Pope; and their officers call attention to the fact'that a Genoa journal, [the Dovere, | ' published the folk) iring note from Garibaldi a eliort time siDce : Bear Rovaggi: I hope to go to Borne with you, but I fear it will be very late if the priests' shops are not closed in the rest of Italy. Tours, G. GARIBALDI. The Gazettea dTtalia, at about the same pe? riod, printed the following: "Revolutionary enrollments have been taking place and con? tinue. It is not for ns to say who are the en rollers and who the enrolled. We only warn the King'B government of one thing-that it ought to be watchful if it does not wish to be led into error." The Franco-Roman work3 at the suburban camp will be of a formidable character, and the revolutionists, it is supposed, contemplat? ed their destruction when in an unfinished condition, knowing that if completed they will be at once occupied by a considerable Papal army, recruited for the most part in the other Catholic countries of Europe. As if to show a state of incipient prepara? tion for war, tbe Pontifical military almanac bas been distributed to the diplomatic body at Some. It sets forth that in the Papal army there ore 8 generals, 24 chaplains and 704 offi? cers, thus divided as to nationality: 464 Ital? ians, 129 french, 59 Swiss, 19 Germans, 20 Bolgians, 9Dutchmen and 4 English.

M. -In the House, a series of resolutions were presented from the Radical mass meeting lately held in Charles? ton. They declare that the members who vot? ed against the Municipal Elections bill are unworthy of the confidence of their constitu? ents. DeLarge objected to reading then. Wheth? er they came from four thousand persons or four hundred, they did not think for him. They "were nobodies. Elliott denounced the resolutions as insulting the dignity of the Legi ala ture, which, he said, was not a pol?tica1 partisan body, but was assembled for the ben? efit of the whole people. DeLarge moved that five, hundred thousand copies be printed. The resolutions were finally sent back for the cor? rection of mistakes. In the joint Assembly, after the election of a Chief justice, one ballot was taken for the election of an Associate Judge, which resulted as folioWB: Whole number voting 131; necessa? ry to a choice 66.

Universal suffrage waa a failure,"ana* taking his 11 cue henceforth from this fact, be would cast | ' his votes only for men of well defined prin? ciples. He therefore nominated Judge A. P.

Columbia has been at work for at least two weeks preparing for tba grand meeting which took place on Tuesday night, and it may be recorded here that the Democratic demonstra? tion was a great triumph, and will be a source of encouragement to the Bichland Democracy for many months to come. The procession was in itself a grand sight. Many of the buildings along the line of march were brilliantly illuminated. The stores occu? pied by the Messrs. Hope and Mr. Palmer were decorated with banners and mottoes, dickerson's Hotel was ornamented with transpa? rencies, and was a blaze of light. The Phoenix office was embellished with garlands, and upon the balcony of the Phoenix building, as the procession passed, there stood thirty-seven young maidens representing the States of the Union. Prominent in the procession was a carriage bearing a huge transparency, which presented four sides, surmounted by a revolving turret. On the sides were life-siza half-pictures of the Democratic candidates for President and "Vice President-Seymour and Blair-flanked by a representation of the "Goddess of Liberty," and "Justice," with the sca'es. On the front, "Fourth Ward Democratic Club,'' with a repre? sentation of a corpulent individual proclaim ng to scalawags md others to clear the -rack-around which were ten stars represent ng the Southern States. The' back of the racsparency represented two lean and gawky Igures, carpet-bags in hand, departing North? ward on the ele:tion of Seymour and Blair. Dbe monitor presented the emblems of The 'arm: r and mechanic-Democratic; Radical im? ?teme nt-Bu tier's spoon; the "South Carolina Creasury;" "Be sure of your hook before lshing." The local tran'parencies distributed through he procession were, many of them, unique in lesign and varied in style. One presented a ?orrect photograph of the "New State House," vith a "bar-room" and "cock-pit" on either tide. "Weare coining, Father Abraham-$6." Avery truthful device was "Andrew John ion, the faithful sentinel on the watch-tower of liberty," with portraits of Washington and Seymour, and a palmetto gracefully inter wined . . "Native and foreign citizens, colored and vhite, are interested in the success of the democratic party." "Democracy means peace, Radicalism wax." 'Richland Democrats, bestir yourselves." "We rork for those who work for us." "We are ure to win.:' "Seymour and Blair forever," and nany others. The colored Democrats were out in strong orce, bearing banners and transparencies. 'The Young Democrats" were also on hand earing at their head, "Young America goes for leymour and Blah." Arrived at the hall, the vast assembly quietly ook position outside, whilst Generals Hamp? ?n, Kershaw, McGowan and Cheenut, Colonel .'bomas, Captain Stanley, and others, ascend d and took seats in the hall, which was crowd d with Columbia's fairest daughters. On motion of Colonel Thomas, Captain Stan- i 3y was chosen to preside, and the organiza ten perfected by the election of the following fficers : Vice-presidents-John McKenzie, J. feighan, J. G. Gibbes, John Alexander, Cap lins J. H. Kinsler, W. H. Stack, E. Percival, i )r. D. W. Bay, Colonel H. J. Caugbman. Sec etaries-B. O'Neale, T. J. LaMotte. Captain i Hanley, with a few pertinent prefatory re narks, introduced General Chesnut, who was I he first speaker of the occasion, and who was 1 allowed by Generale S. McGowan, J. B. Ker- I haw and Wade Hampton. I General Wade Hampton on being introduced, < ras greeted with immense applause. Indeed, i was many minutes before toe audience could e sufficiently quieted to permit him to speak. ( ie said he had hoped that, after having listen- * d to the eloquent speakers who preceded him, t hey would not desire him- to address them ; not i nly on that account, but because his voice ru weak. There were many present who had 1 requeatly heard him address larger crowds, and rhen very different kind of noises than peaceful , cclamations saluted their ears; but to night, Dr the first time ia his life, his voice had fail- ( d hun. General Kershaw had referred to t he advance of the cavalry in the campaign e f to-night; and he desired to add, that , hough the position had been inverted, he wss lad of it, and felt g'-eat confidence after hear- i ig the eloquent remarks of that distinguished ieneral, as they made him feel as secure as in be days of other and more sanguinary cam aigns. He always felt safe when he knew ( [ershaw was on bis flank. lia preferred to i ostpone any extended remarks to-night, as . i6 would have an opportunity nt an early dav, nd desired it, to lay before "them the history ' f the New York Convention, and what part ras taken in it by oar delegation. [A voice in j ho crowd-"Never put off for to-morrow what an be done to-d*y."] General Hampton re eived the interruption with great good humor, C nd continuing his remarkn, said that when t he Southern States were invited to take part s a the New York Convention, he was clearlv I if the opinion that they should accept, and ? hould go there and meet the xN'orth- t rn men face to face, and tell them that they < tad surrendered in uood laith;' and that wheii hey Baid they wanted pence they meant peace, 1 ust as when they had said war, they had troven that they meant war. He bebe ved, \ hen, we Bhould lot them see wo were not all i ire-eaters, as many of them believed us to be, tut that our arms had been laid down in good ' aith, and we desired to unite heartily in the estoration' of political and material prosperity. , ind the result had proven the correctness bf n's view?. When our delegation arrived in 1 "ew York, they were received in a-1 quarters and on all sides in the most hearty manntr. They were urged to participate in all the de? liberations of the Convention, and were con? sulted freely in all matters of moment. The same reception was given them by the mem? bers of the Soldiers and Sailors Convention, which was also in session at that time; and snch of its gallant members as McClernand, of Illinois, said gallantly, that they desired to extend the right hand*of fellowship to the men whom they had been fighting, and who bad now laid down their arms.' To them he had replied, that for himself, his delegation and his people at home, he accepted that band in good faith. [Cheer?.] Now, if we wish to see the State restored to all its former prosperity, he appealed to the people to bury all past prejudices and passions in one common grave, and in solid mass, with? out regard to color, to rally around the stan? dard of the New York Convention. He spoke to the black man as well as the,, white, for he believed as firmly that the interests of the two were inseparably bound np in a common cause, as he believed that God ruled over the deati-,, nies of the people. Ii they attempted to draw a line of demarkation and array themselves against the whites, they would be pressed from the soil and endure the fate of the In? dian. To pr ..vont a reBult like this-one which he truly deprecated-he bad been the first man in South Carolina to speak to them and advise them as to then tine policy, and they knew that he would not deceive them. [A colored man-"Th? 'a s-o-God bless you."] When, seven ye irs ago, the 8tate had called upon bim to serve her in tho field, he had obeyed that mandate, and cheerfully given all that he possessed for her defence; and when, after the war, she bade him lay down his arms, with equal submission he had obeyed, and sheathed a sword which, he' trusted, bore no mark of shame or dishonor. [Cries of sol no!] Since tnen he had adjured the people to culti? vate the arts of peace and conciliation, and es? pecially had he earnestly recommended the colored people io live in friendship and good will with those on whem they would have to depend, in large measures, for advice and Bup poit. . Unfortunately, things had talen a different turn than that hoped for by the supporters of truth, justice and the constitution, and now the spectacle presented in the halla of legisla? tion by those who undertake to govern the destinies of the two races wo s lamentable in? deed. As anxious as he was to secure peace and prosperity, be never could consent to at? tempt it on so fal ie, gross and outrageous a platform as that of the B' const ruction acts, particularly when he saw the seats of Ha y ne. McDuffie and Calhoun ia tho Senate of the United States filled by such men as Sawyer and renegade Tom Robertson. [Hisses and groane for Tom Robertson.] Much rather would he have seen colored men represent South Caro? lina, as they could do so with more justifiable pride and honesty. He wanted restoration on the basis of truth, harmony and justice, and he firmly believed we would have it in November, by the triumph of the Democratic party. He had been told by no less distinguished a person than Val lan di g h am that Ohio was certain for Seymour, and shrewd political thinkers of New York and Pennsylva? nia were equally confident as to the same re? sult in those Statss. The people were thorough? ly aroused, and in November the result of it would be more rapid travelling of carpet-bag? gers from the South than was ever before known in the history of this country. He concluded by referring to tl.u demonstra? tion made by the Democracy of Charleston last Friday night, "and said tb at although he had seen many Bimilar displays at the North, he bad never witnessed more grandeur or enthu? siasm than that exhibited by the good people jf the old City by the Sea, who had turned out -men, women and children-to give their ap? proving smiles to the noble cause. They had brought exulting pride to.hie heart, by this manifestation of the old Carolina spirit. They ?nay have been slow, but they were sure. Let is stand up with them, and by the help of God )ur canse-the cause oj"?Ee frr.a?? JDemacratir--1 jarty-trie causo oT truth ?ind Thff'ct??stitril??h -would meet with a glorious triumph. [Im nense applause.] Other speeches were made, a letter from Ex Sovernor Perry was read, and Colonel Thomas hen offered the following resolutions, which vere adopted without dissent, and the immense :rowd quietly dispersed, without leaving the ecord of a single disturbance: V, ht reas. The National Democratic party of he Union, in convention assembled, nave lominated the Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New fork, for the Presidency, and Gen.

Resolved, That the dignified and unobtrusive ourse pursued by our delegates, in the recent sational Democratio Convention, meets with ?ur approval, and that we extend to them our .cknowledgments . for the acceptable manner n which they discharged their delicate trust. The above report is mainly compiled f om hat published in the Columbia Phoenix of yes erday._ _ _ FOREIGN NEWS. -The improvement in the health of Count 3iemarck still continues. -A praiseworthy example of religious toler .nce has been shown at Eisenach.

For instance, the Earl of Dunraven sits as Baron Kenry; Viscount Monck as Baron Monck, and Viscount Boyne as Baron Prancepeth.

In one hospital which has an income of ?8000, there are only eighty-five beds kept up, and the wards are de? scribed as of rough lime-washed brick, neglect? ed and pover-Btricken in their appearance, with scanty and broken ward furniture, and very ragged linen, the dietarios ill-arranged, and sometimes supplemented by the private subscriptions of the medical officers. -The Athensum has made a very amusing discovery. A certain ''Max., Baron von Alven Bleben, late lieutenant in the imperial Mexican army," has published a bcok, under the title of "With Maximilian in Mexico." By a singular coincidence many of the real adventures of the . Baron" are identical with the imaginary ad? ventures of One of Bulwer's heroes, "Deve? reux." Still more remarkable, the adventures are described in almost exactly the same worde. lt has been often said that fact is stranger than fiction, but this ie the first time we have heard of their being identical. Some persons will be sceptical, we suspect, for thia is a sceptical age, and will think that both narratives are ficti? tious, "Devereux" being the original and "Al vensleben" a poor copy. -Count de Murat-Murinais, who lives at the Chateau de Fontlcsier, near Valence, having offered to bis Holiness Pi us LX the arm-chair which Pius VE had used rn his prison, has just received from tho Pope a letter of thanks, accompanied by a portrait of the Holy Father, and an autographic communication according some spiritual favors to the Count's family.

THE EECOBD OF FRANK BLAIR-WHAT 18 BEVOLTJ TION-THE OBJECT OF THE RADICALS. At a Democratic gathering held at Alum Springs, Rockbridge county, Virginia, on the 25th instant, Montgomery Blair delivered a speech, in which he touched upon topics al? ready familiar to the public, and made the following allusions to the Democratic nominee for the Vice Presidency and current political topics. Referring io the action of the Tamma? ny Convention in nominating General Blair, Mr. Blair continued : To show that their invitation to all who were true to the constitution in this hour ot its peril to unite with tbem as equals was not an un? meaning phrase, they cou terred the nomination for vice-President upon General Blair, who had been a Republican from the organization of that party to the close of the war. General Blair had been tendered the nomination for the same office by those who had the power to con? fer it in the Convention at Chicago in 1860. He was the first man in the United States to lake up arms against secession, and bad served the country in the flold till the CIOBO of the war; but when the Radical party turnad the power given them by the people to preserve the Union against the constitution, he renounced all fel? lowship with them and united his efforts with the Democracv, then in the minority, to eave the constitution. With these candidates (Sey? mour and Blair) the Convention presented a declaration of principles on which they are pledged to act, if elided, and ask the judg? ment of the country upon them in the election. This declaration arraigns the Radical party tor its abuses of power, its waste of the public treasure, the unequal taxation imposed, its scandalous jobs, and takes issue with them es? pecially upon their so-called reconstruction measures, pronoundng *nem usurpations, vior latdons of the constitution, and declaring them null and void. This last declaration is pro? nounced revolutionary by the Radicals, and their whole wrath has been turned loose upon General Blair especially, because he .urged the preservation of this issue, and showed that it wonld be impossible for the Radical party to withstand the judgment of the country against them upon it and maintain their usurpations in defiance of that judgment. Here is General Blair's language : "There ie but one way to rcstorcjthe govern? ment and the constitution, and that is for tho President elect to declare these acts null aud void; compel the anny to undo its usurpations it the South; disperse the carpet-bag State governments; allow the white people to reor? ganize their own governments, and elect sen? iors and representatives. The House of Rep? resentatives will contain a majority of Demo? crats from the North, and they will admit the representatives elected by the white people of the South; and with the co-operation of the President it will not be difficult to compel the Senate to submit once moro to the obligations of the constitution, lt will not be able to with? stand the public judgment it distinctly invoked and clearly expressed on thia fundamental k suo. And it is the sure way to avoid all future strife to put thc issuo plainly to thc country." This is tho language called revolutionary and said to menace war. There ia no such thought in it. It is an appeal to thc ballot, and it ia the Radicals alone who talk of war and arc making preparations for it in connection with thc elections. General Blair and the Demo? cratic party invoke the judgment of the peo? ple on the issue, joined with the Radicals on ibo validity of their measures, and propose to carry the judgment of the people into ef? fect by the officers elected for that purpose by them, 'lhere c::n bono war unices tho Radi? cals make it io resist the judgment of the Ceople, who are or ought +o be the final ar iters. What, thin, do;s ibis outcry about war from the Radicals mean hut that ihoy will resist thc judgment asked for by the Democracy ? They deceived the people as to their intentions in respect to these measures, and secured their present power in Congress by denying that they contemplated any such abuse of it, hcs.cnecl to prostitute it to sub? vert civil government and set up military gov? ernment in the South, now to bo used to dc feat the wishes of the people in the North, and then pnt forward the commander of the army as their candidate and give him the army to elect himself, substantially inviting him to setze power whether elected-by the people or not. This conduct shows their .determination to forestall and defeat the will of the people. The menace of war which they now make them selves, bnt falsely impute to their opponents, because the judgment of the people is invoked against them on those acts, despite their at? tempts to avoid and prevent this issue from being forced uv-on them, only illus trates and ?uts in a broid light their determination to ol j power at all hazards. That, at least, is what they want the people to believe is their resolve. It is, however, but a brag game. The object is to intimidate the people into acquies? cence in their rule. Qen. Grant ominously says "Let us have peace," with tho same meaning, and they are winding up the session with a distribution of arms among their followers, to give emphasis lo the language of Grant, and his followers alone threaten to disturb the public peace. They alone threaten to resist the will of the people in the lawful exercise of their authority to pass judgment apon the acts of their unfaithful servants and restore the constitution. The Democracy have submitted without resistance to the most glar? ing violations of the constitution, and to every species of tyranny and outrage which have dis? graced the meanest and bloodiest tyrants in the worst ages, with unexampled patience, looking to the tiiy of deliverance by the ballot box in Noveml cr nex*^ Appalled by the pros? pect of being at last brought to account, these corrupt and ruthless oppressors are attempt? ing to drive the people from the polia, and compel a still further-submission by arming their followers and threatening war if they shall pronounce against them. Sut there is no danger. "The sur9 way," saye General Blair, with truth, "to avoid all strife, ie to put the issue plainly io the country." That naB been done. Now let the people decide against these usurpers, and they will not have a corpo? ral's guard to sustain them. General Grant will not find a soldier, not even a colored soldier, who would resist that judgment. Napoleon, backed by his millions of armed men, cannot withstand the voice of France, Can the carpet-baggers survive the power to which alone they owe their official life? The dictators of the caucus at Washington, like the Bombas of Naples, will become objects of derision, when, with loss of power, they cease to be feared. Their motives will become yet more contemptible. The transfer of the ex? ecutive power by the people to the hands of Seymour will end the struggle at once, in all its forms, to the joy of a once more united and fre-i people. Nor have I the least misgivings but that this will be done. Lu the address I made here a year ago I ventured the predic? tion that the people would repudiate the faith lees men whose insane love of power had driven them to*violate every guarantee of liberty. Our Democratic leaders were so discouraged that they made but little effort in the canvass last year. The result wa?, nevertheless, that the Radicals were signally defeated. This forced them to fly to Grant; ont the elections since he consented to co-operate with them show that the people are not to be diverted from their purpose of restoring the constitution by the influence of bis name, or deterred from doing their duty to themselves and their posterity by brandishing his sword before their eyes. They want that assurance of peace which is afforded by a government of law, and not the peace of despotism or of the reign of terror of which Grant, following in the footsteps of every other military chieftain, has become the minis? ter.
