" -A correspondent of the Poll Moll Gazette 0 -writesfrom Rome: "Rumors ore afloat about c .the Pope's health, which some represent to be .extremely good, while others apeak of it dole- j Airy, and declare that he wuf never seo De- r, cember.

A com? mittee was appointed for tho purpose of urg- j ing a union of tobacconists throughout the \ -country wit h a view to influencing Congress to ( effect a change in the btw. -News has been received from Abyssinia to the effect that the Wags hum Gobazye has at length triumphed over all competitors, and 1 hos seated himself upon the throne of Ab vs- ] sima, is not unexpected. He was the strong? est and perhaps the most able of the con-1 ] steading parties, and it is well that such a dangerous dignity should bo secured by the potentate best able to support it. Gobazye bas long intrigued for the sovereignty of I Abyssinia. "He and Prince Rossai, the ally of | i the English, are on good terms. -The lost revolution in the little Republic of Andora, in thc Pyrenean^mcuntaiDs, resulted i n the sudden overthrow of the late municipal government, which had been foolish enough to grant a contract to a company for the estab? lishment of a gambling saloon. The whole population, greatly agitated, rose as one man, and demanded the abdication of their magis? trates, who at once yielded. Others, opposed to the schemes of the foreign invaders, were appointed in their stead. All this passed with? out the shedding of ono drop of blood. -An important decision was rondered in the .Circuit Court at Chicago on Friday to the ef? fect that two persons cohabiting as man and wife, after an agreement to marry, and tho marital relation being recognized ia thc soci? ety in which they move, is a common law mar? riage, even if no matrimonial service, accord? ing to law, is performed, and is bound to bo respected by the courts, under which the wo? man can claim dower, but cannot recover for services as housekeeper. Tho decision is said to have created something of a breeze amongst tho considerable number of Chicagoans who have brevet wives. -A newly invented armor plating was re? cently tho subject of interesting experiments in the presence of the Emperor Napoleon LIL This substituto for steel plates is mad'.- of felt, ?egotable fibres and a woven fabric, and. is compressed by the action of powerful machine? ry until it becomes as solid as cast metaL At the trial it was tested both as a coating for -ships and as a breast-plate. The Chassepot gan, it is stated, could not penetrate the felt, and a revolver discharged close to the surface produced no offect. The Emperor, it is report? ed, has given orders for a trial of thi3 substance on a large scale, so as to ascertain its applica? bility to ships of war. -The Queen of Spain has been providing against a stormy day for some time past, so that in a pecuniary point of view tho revolu? tion does not find her unprepared. She has been selling ber property at every chance, and collecting from the treasury every kind of | claim that coull be made up io her behalf, or that of her family. It has boen stated that she has carried off twont3--three minions of reals that belongs to the treasury; but this is proba? bly only an incorrect version of the fact which we have stated above. Her money bas been mainly invested in London. In this she has only followed the example of her mother, Queen Christina, who left tho throne of Spain with a mighty fortune, and of her cousin, Fran? cis LI, whom Garibaldi did not drive out of Na? ples until he had placed millions enough in foreign countries to make him one of the rich men of Europe. -The English papers, in noticing the arrival of the Chinese embassy in England, havo got? ten hold of Mr. Burlingame's Chineso namo, which is one of the appendages that he did not exhibit when in this country, and announce that "Poo-au-Chen Chin-Chi-chooug-jen-tach en, an eminent man-who is not responsible for the fact that his title sounds uncommonly like a prolonged sneeze- has safely arrived at the Grosvenor Hotel." The translation of this extraordinary title is "Minister of Heavy Re? sponsibility." The Irishman, Brown, wbo is first secretary, is, in Chineso, Bo. Choon-Ah, and the Frenchman, Deschamps, second secre? tary, De Chan. It is obvious that there ?B a little pique at "foreign mediators between us and the Chinese," which ?B the impelling mo? tive of the volley of fun and raillery which the journals let fly at tho ambassadors. Thc Lon? don Standard, which criticises tho mission more gravely, says: "There is only ono intelli? gible object in any Chinese mission to England, and that is to explain and to excuse the non fulfilment of the obligations entered into by China toward England." CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9, 1868. For President.HORATIO SEYMOUR. For vice-President.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. Campaign Canards. It was not to be expected that the officers Df the Radical State government of South Carolina would jealously uphold the un? blemished reputation of our people. The welfare of their party was their highest law, and they knew that Northern Radical? ism expected to find its most potent armory in the letters and reports of the Radicals Df the South. The weapons were to be made tc order. If the truth were not piquantly horrible, a dssh of falsehood night be added to give zest to the dish. Whenever an election is about to take plaoe, the Radical papers of the country ire filled with glowing accounts of "rebel 'atrocities" and "murders of loyal negroes 'by rebel whites." They spring up like nushrooms Lu a night; they multiply and ncrease with marvellous rapidity, and only ?ease to appear when the naed for them is >ver. It is not strange, then, ?kat, at this .ime, South Carolina should be gravely said p ,o be more rebellious than in 1860; nor is it surprising to read in Northers journals that prominent Republicans, living in ti is State, leclare that the defeat of GRANT will bring var and carnage on the South. We have ?very reason to know and believe that these leclarations are untrue. As far as our knowledge extends, the people are sincere n their expressions of devotion to the coun ry and constitution; but knowing the effect rhich the Radioal yarns have in the North, vhether they are true or false, we appeal o our poople to so act and speak that no ladioal shall be able to torture either word ir deed into a means of harming the Demo ratio cause. The threatening gestures of a boy, the ocular menace of a man, the fervid words if a popular orator, are foundation enough or the Radioal writers. From one thread hese spiders will weave a web to catch nany a Northern fly. Out of the mouth of | me person they will condemn a whole State, ind will turn timid voters to the wrong ide by repeating io them phrases which no nore express our feelings than those of the nan in the moon. We know that the Radi? al interpretation of our spirit and purpose s as far from the truth as the equator is rom the pole. Bat we know that we have io means at present of vindicating our ?urity and sincerity of intention; and there s so much at stake in the coming elections hat we dare not throw the smallest chance iway. It will be useless to work if we undo it night the labor of the day, and self-re? proach would never cease if we were com? pelled to believe that we had persisted, de? spite all warning, in a course which would oriog desolation upon our race. Every nan should be moderate and temperate in ill that he says and all that he does; then, whatever the result, the State will be free from blame. The Spanisn Uprising. The Spanish uprising, on account of its bloodlessness, brief duration and sudden termination, has been improperly compared to one of those pacific revolutions which mark the intellectual progression of a peo? ple, and are the manifestation of a latent desire for advancement, rather than an effort to depose an obnoxious monarch or remove a hated dynasty. With euch a rev? olution, the offspring of enlightenment and knowledge, the uprising in Spain has noth? ing in common. It is the creature of a class, and not the work of the people. From beginning to end, the armed move? ment in Spain has been made successful by the active support of the navy and army of the kingdom. Soldiers and sailors have been the apostles of this new dispensation. The poople at large confined themselves to taking part in triumphal processions and crowning conquering heroes. They have not yet spoken, and it may be long before their mouths are opened; but none can be? lieve that the blind reverence for king and church which the Spaniards have cherished for centuries, has been so softened that it would melt away in an hour, or so under? mined that it could be thrown down in a day by the hands of party leaders. Was it natural that the mother of so many of her subjects should have none to draw tha sword, or to raise the p avili OE of Spain Was it natural that the church should have found no fearless advocate among its mil? lions of devotees ? The movement did net touch the popular heart, and under no cir? cumstances can we have any faith in the stability of tue reformed government of | Sp?n. '?Ve do not believe that the new govern? ment, whether monarchical or republican, will maintain itself for long, because we have no confidence in the Spanish people. They have, with all their blue-blooded dig? nity, been slaves for generations-slaves to king, Bls.ves to church, slaves to custom and habit. Had they had the spirit of freedom, had love of knowledge dwelt among them, liberality and moderation. But no laws they would mainly have been governed with can make a people free whose minds are choked with superstitious reverence, and the Spaniards may thank themselves for much that they have suffered. The so-called revolution is now triumph? ant, yet before long dissensions among leaders, differences of doctrine, a doubt by one party of all kings, and a distrust by another party of all republics, will disinte? grate the party. There will gradually risc to the 8urfaoe the old popular worship of tho king, while the cry against the church, necessary to a liberal administration, will excite the fears and arouse the doubts of the nation. The unreflecting loyalty to church and crown is only dormant, and Spain is not yet far enough advanced to know that a monarch may be judged as other mortals are judged-by his good deeds and infirmities. Nor is she sufficiently en? lightened to know that the worship of God is a thing altogether apart from the direc? tion of secular affairs. The country of the Cid is not ripe for revolution. No la?:, no constitution, can make her people intelli? gent and far-seeing in spite of themselves; and, until they have learned that a revolu? tion is neoessary to their national and indi? vidual progress, and are taught by their own thirsting minds the necessity of a change, no new government in Spain will have any other than an ephemeral exis? tence. The handspike and bayonet may prop up the edifice for awhile; but, unless its foundations are laid upon the affections and knowledge of the people, it will soon crumble in ruins. pst an) /onnb.
