Spec? tators arriving arter half-past nine are entitled otho benefits of it. -The Duke of Albuquerque, grandee of Spain, and cousin of the Duke of Seale who married the widow of tho Duke oe Moray, bas just joined the Papal army as a prizate zouave. -Mrs. Mary L. Hutchinson, mother of the Hutchinson family of singers, died of paralysis at Milford, New Hampshire, on the 20lh of September, aged eighty-three. She was the mother of sixtoen children, to whom the musi <ca> powers with which ano w&a naturally gifted \ve:o transmitted. . -Hon. B. H. Hill, of Georgia, now in New York, writes a letter to tho Now York Times, in ..hich he says : "I shall roturn home morti? fied if not a wiser man. Mortified only because I fiad in the North a bitter, systematic, adroit and persistent misrepresentation of thc tem? per, desires and views of the Southern whites, far exceeding my anticipations." -General Dulce, who has been appointed J Captain-General of Cuba, in placo cf General Lersnndi, was formerly Captain-Genoral of Cuba, and more recently was one of the seven . generals who were banished by Queen Isabella. The fact that the Cubans in Spain will be per? mitted to choose two members of the Junta is a ?concession which indicates that Cuba will be J invited to send representatives to the Constitu? tional Assembly. -There is very little difference in the strength of tho armies of France and Prussia, as they are now organized. The French army has, all told, and ready for service at short notice; 1,300.000 men. Prussia ditto, 1,140,000. .Should these immense armies be brought in confliot, there would soon be a decision as to the permanent victory. No long contest could possibly be maintained between powers so well .provided with available forces. . -The Empress Charlotte has had a relapse, .and is again entirely paralyzed by the fear of being poisoned. She flies from everybody. For whole days she remains sitting in a corner of her room without motion; but when any ono approaches her she has a paroxysm; she runs .away eagerly to eave herself, and calls with a load voice for help. Not only her mental, but her bodily condition is seriously changed, and gives rise to grave apprehensions. -Archbishop Kenrick, authorized by tho ec? clesiastical authority at Burne to investigate the charges against the Roman Catholic Bish? op Duggan, of Chicago, reported, August 10, that they were unfounded, and a letter from the Sacred College, of September 10, is pub? lished, dismissing all the complaints. Rev. Dr. McMullen h id recently set out for Rome to urge tho charges before the Pope. The docu? ments now published are regarded as com? pletely defeating his efforts beforehand. -The Washington Express gives the parti? culars of the alleged conspiracy to assassinate President Johnson. The facts as alleged aro certainly star thug, and are well calculated to inspiro alarm if they have the least foundation in truth. It seems, so the story goes, that pending the impeachment trial a number of ne? groes, led by a few white men, banded to? gether in tho first ward of this city and took i the most solomn oaths to assassinate the President ii'he should be convicted by the high ?oort ofim.Teachment and should attempt to resis- ihe execution ot its judgment. When impeachment failed, the object for which they bad banded together failed with some, who abandoned thc organization, while others, more bold and reckloss, continued to meet and tall: over the matter until they reno?vcd their oaths to kill the President any bow. By some means or other a man named Frank Evans, who re? sides on K street, near Twenty-second, and who has been for somo time employed ia the machinery department of tho noto printing bureau of tho treasury, becam.- cogni? zant of what was going om Evans made tho facts known, and suspiciou was at once direct? ed towards certain localities in tho upper part of the city, whero it was ascertained the ne? groes were in tho habit of secretly meeting and drilling. Last night Brigadier-General Morris Miller, of thc Qaartermaster-Goneral's Department, U. S. A., called at the note-punt? ing bureau, whero Evans was engaged, and in company with the latter proceeded to the places where tho negroes were wont to assem? ble, and it is said General Miller was thor? oughly convinced of the existence of the plot> and the name of one individual is given who is alleged to be the head and front of tho plot. Measures were immediately inaugurated to effect the arrest of all the parties engaged in the scheme, and it was deemed important that thc discovery should be kept as secret as pos sible. It leaked out, however, the newspaper men got hold pf it, and whether true or false, the country has had another exciting feast and another niuo days' wonder. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 17,18G8. For President.HORATIO SEYMOUR. For rice-President.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. Thc Middle Path. Passion and sentiment are at once treach? erous and dangerous guides. In moments when it is most necessary to the well-being of the commonwealth that reason and judg? ment should direct the actions of men, they lead the popular mind astray, and cause it to obey the impulse of feeling rather than the counsel of mature and sober thought. Circumstanced as we are, we cannot afford to be headstrong and rash. Tho security and property which we now possess we dare not throw away, and if we would retain and increase the little that remains, we must accustom ourselves to avoid every extreme of hatred or of love, and walk iu that mid dlo path in which alone is safety. It is hard, indeed, lo bear in silence con? tumely and oppression. It is harder still to refrain from giving back blow for blow and wrong for wrong. It is hardest of all to act with moderation, when those who are opposed to us push violenca to the extreme. But, taking selfishness as thc mainspring of life, cur own interests tell us that it is unwise to pour oil upon thc A ime of resent? ment, and that gentleness and calmness nay conquer the fortune wy covet, while their opposites but aggravate Ihe evils which we suffer. This whole country has for a lifetime been the scene of bitterness and turbulence of spirit. Political parties, blinded by their impetuosity, have too often denied that any purity or virtue could exist in the parties or persons who opposed them. General exasperation has boen succeeded by individual malice, and antagonism of principle has produced, not the reconcilia? tion of jarring claims, but the intensifying of prejudice and a bigoted clinging to pre? conceived ideas. This is plainly visible in the history of the last few years, and it becomes us now to ponder whether we may not learn a lesson from our foes and teach them a higher philosophy than any which they have hitherto enjoyed. The middle path is in evey walk of life the path of success. Moderation will cause us to respect the opinions of others, however different from those wc may entertain. Charity of thought and kindness of word will quickly follow, and, while wc claim the right to hold our own belief, we shall not consider every man a trickster or a knave whose creed is not our own. This is not a speculative thought; ii is essentially matter of fact. To bear and forbear is a golden rule, and it is but just to believe our neigh? bor honest until he has abused a trust. Unless wo are prepared to give up some? thing of the prejudice which we have nour? ished against others, we cannot expect others to forget the prejudices they have cherished against ourselves. There must be mutual concession, or enmity and ma? levolence will be eternal. At this time, when the shadows of the strife between the friends of order and the party of revolution aro cast over the land, it is supremely necessary to pluck the bit? terness from the heart and to root out from the mind the seeds of hostility and discon? tent. Even when the battle is won, when the constitution is vindicated, we cannot walk alone. No wall can be built up to cut us off from the North which will not shut us out from the means of recovering our an? cient strength. We are not and cannot be independent. With little wealth, with little credit, with small means of developing our vast resources, we oannot make a China of the South. We have the elements of pros? perity, but we have not the means of so combining them that the result will bo a smiling and happy land; and unless we are prepared to admit that there are honest, virtuous and sincere men outside of our own little world, we cannot command the help we need, and cannot hope to prosper. Mr. Pollard's Undertaking*,* Historical and Biographical. We have been astounded in reading the grateful acknowledgments which the "Mer? cury" renders to Mr. POLLARD as the Con? federate historiographer. To this gentle? man, as wo are now gravely informed, "the Southern people are under lasting ob? ligations;" for he it was who neutralized Mr. GREELEY'S perversions of history, and thus checkmated that bitter and persistent hater of the^South. And now, having punc? tured the pretensions of Mr. GEEELET, our annalist intends to expose the conduct of Mr. DAVIS. He will unmask the individual whom the Confederate Congresses shielded from observation on the principle that "the less the people knew of their President tho better!" He will tell of "a thousand im? proprieties," and of "grave and fatal follies which the press forbore to publish from re? spect to the great cause in which wc were engaged." And oar contemporary pledges itself, beforehand, to "hail with gratification the facts" which this patriotic POLLARD "will be able to bring to light." Yet with all proper consideration for the enthusiasm of Mr. POLLARD'S blindfold apologist, we doubt whether that solitary "hail" will be heard very far, or will cheer very mucb, amid a universal hurricane of hisses. Despite all the oracular solemnity of the article upon which we comment, we find it | difficult to believe that our contemporary is doing anything more thau indulging in a little infelicitous iruny. Is it possible, we | ask ourselves, that we have sunk so low as ? to need such a protector us Mr. POLLARD? Has that tragic history through which we have passed-a record of tears and fire and blood, and angel ministries and heroic sac? rifices-all served as a prelude to some miserable Bombastes Furioso farce, in which a Richmond rowdy plays the part of the Southern champion? No doubt Mr. GREELEY has falsified the history of the re? cent contest; his eyes were blind with prej? udice and with policy; he looked on from a distance, and could see at the best but one aide of the shield which overhung the mighty clash of arms. But Mr. POLLARD also was a carpet knight, and a professional ink-spiller. He, too, beheld the contest from afar; he, too, rode hobbies; he was as fond of the great I as he is of the little u, and probably because his transcendent merits were not appreciated, was a chronic and flatulent malcontent. What sort of his? tory could be expected from such a source? What sort has Mr. POLLARD given us? A narration which our contemporary mildly apologises for as "often erroneous from im? perfect information." While asserting it to be "in the main a satisfactory answer to Mr. GREELEY'S perversions of history," yet a narrative which some of our best officers proclaim to be itself full of perversions. We heard one of them express the wish quite recently that every copy could be col? lected and destroyed. Great (hanks wo owe this pseudo historian, no doubt, for his persistent assertions that we were "a nation of dupes, misguided by a conclave of knaves and fools !" And if his his? tory were as often true as it is "errone? ous." great thanks would we still owe him for thrusting himself before the country and the world as the representative of the Southern people. Though a writer has ut? tered some important truths, and has some? times spoken in eloquent strains, it is quite possible that his defianoe of the moral con? victions of the community may be such as to discredit his testimony in the one case, and to nullify his influence in the other-nay, as to make his very advocacy and commendation prejudicial. Secession was Lut like a magnified street brawl, r.or the great war like a loud voiced and mur? derous conjugal quarrel-hence it is not everybody who is competent to relate the great sufferings and greater deeds of our people. The noblest spirit of a nalion must recite its annals; thc bard who chants the martial deeds of yore must be himself a hero. For our part we do not accept Mr. POL? LARD as our historian, and wo learn with profound sorrow and indignation that he is about to make an attack upon Mr. DAVIS, in thc form of a biography. We do not pretend to say that the leading statesman of the Confederacy was not at times self willed and impracticable, and that he ?id not commit maDy errors of policy, which we can see plainly enough now that the excitement of the confliot^has abated and its smoke has rolled away. Some of I our public journals took special pains j to stimulate the alarm and sharp sus? picion of the people against him when he moat needed their trustful co? operation. There is a jealous foresight which often proves true, not because of its prophetic range, but because it c??stroys hope-the condition on which success de? pends. But whatever might have been Mr. DAVIS' mistakes, there is no man in this Southern country who canjuslly deny his patriotic elevation of character and aim. Ile was possessed by public Bpirit during his whole official careor. lu effect, what sacrifice was he not ready to make for his country? Mr. POLLARD Bncers at his de? sign to take command of the armies of the Confederacy, but thc jeers of the historian recoil upon himself; they simply show his inability to comprehend that pure and lofty spirit to which, when in the service of the commonwealth, danger and death had no terrors. Nay, more: What sacrifices has not Mr. DAVIS already made? He accepted our call to office. For our sake he sacrificed position, fortune, liberty, home-everything but honor. He is now under prosecution for services rendered to us. For us he en? dured the sleepless vigilance and wore the galling felters of Fortress Monroe. For us his health was broken, his pride trampled in the dust, the bread plucked from the mouths of hia wife and children. And now, juBt now, when he is weary, and faint, and old, when the whole world pities him, when every generous heart bleeds for him, when even Mr. GREELEY appears as his bondsman, that man who has appointed himself representative of Southern chivalry, and vindicator and historian of the South? ern struggle, undertakes to denounce and degrade him before the world ! And one of our contemporaries cheers him on. Wc can only explain this matter by supposing that the one is intoxicated-let us say with conceit-and thc other is perpetrating a joke upon a subject, in our opinion, quite too grave end delicate for such treatment Let Mr. DAVIS be censured by us, if he must be censured, only when ho ceases to puffer for us. Let his epitaph, like EMMETT'S, be written when his country is free ! (?011 rational.
