-i . tmt Will the President Stand Hi? G roi? ?id 5 This is an important question to the real Union men of the country those who are in favor of healing the wounds which the war inflicted upon the country, instead of keeping them open to fester for years. The New York Times is the only journal to which we can look for an answer. That paper bears a semi-official rela? tion to the Administration, which gives importance to its utterances; and these we havo thus far never failed to find sustained by the Presi? dent. Anxious to know the probable course of the President with refer? ence to the Stevens amendment, we have consulted the columns . of the Times, and found the subjoined satis? factory declaration : "It is imagined that by bullying, and threatening, and insulting, Mr. Stevens can d*.i o President Johnson from his P "V"~; ,n' ^8 supposed that a part y may be everlastingly frightened by the crack of an over seer's whip, or perpetually misled by cries devoid of reason, and appeals which, though full of sound and fury, signify nothing? If these be the ex? pectations, we tell those who cherish them that they are doomed to disap? pointment. Andrew Johnson stood firm in the Senate with traitors around him ; firm in Tennessee, when firmness? for the Union exposed lum to trouble an? death, and we are confident that he will not shrink now, with the public opinion of the nation overwhelmingly in his favor. "As to the Union party, we are not less snre that its usefulness to the country and the prolongation of its power as a party depend upon the restraints which it shall impose upon the schemes of the radical section. Its worst enemies are of its own household. If these assaults upon the Constitution and the Executive are to be continued, the Union will be in greater danger from the doings of professed friends than from the machinations of its most malignant enemies. "The time calls for forbearance, moderation, magnanimity. The coun? try stands more in need of practical legislation than of the 'previous question' and the prescriptions of legislative quacks. Shall it be said that the Union party is unequal to the exigencies of the situation?" The Times is not satisfied with "fending off." It attacks Mr. Ste? vens boldly. Wo quote a little of its sharp satire: "To a man who had dared any? thing or done anything befitting a hero, we might be disposed to listen with respect. But that men who never shouldered a musket, nor e^.- ! posed their precious persons to dan ger, should now scold and hector, and talk about terms which a conqueror may dictate, is simply intolerable. And when Mr. Stev.-ns, who, during the war, attempted nothing moro for? midable than the drafting of absurd gold bills, spits his venom upon the President, and impugns the saga? city and patriotism of Andrew John? son, the people will not be long in deciding to whom their confidence should be given. It is against this patriot, tried and true-against this statesman, endowed so eminently with qualities peculiarly suited to the crisis-that Mr. Stevens presumptu? ously and insolently proposes to array the great Union party." But satire is not all. The Times can threaten, too. "Nay, an thou'lt I mouth, I'll rant as well as thou." | Would Mr. Stevens behead the Presi- j dent ? Then, Mr. Stevens shall be beheaded. We quote again : j "Mr. Thaddeus Stevens and his radical friends are not unlikely to overshoot their mark. Their "fiery zeal will, ia due time, defeat itself, and bring upon their own heads the punishment reith which they threaten others. For all this agitation in Con? gress, this piling up of amendments to the Constitution, this denunciation of every man who differs from them, this anxiety to disable and punish our fellow-citizens in the Southern States, is in strange forgetfulness of consi? derations which the statesman who would live must ever keep in view. It presupposes the continuaiice during peace of a public opinion which ac? quired force under the excitement and perils of wai-." And finally, tho Times declares that the Southern States are to bs consult? ed. It says-and the italics are its own : "But the Senate has yet to act upon it, and after that, it must receive the ratification of three-fourths of all the Stales. Ile must be a very sanguine man who behaves that this can ever be secured." NATURAL. ALLIES.-It is related of ? Maximilian that, in a recent conver? sation, he maintained that President Johnson ant* he are, by position as well as by interest, natural allies. "If he helps me," said the Emperor, "I will help him, and we will raise this .continent to such a degree of pros? perity and greatness that we shall soon be able to dictate to the rest of the world, Europe included." A ca? pital suggestion; Max., backed by Louis, playing partners with Andy, could beat the world combined against them. It is stated that Butler's reply to Gen. Grant is nearly finished, and *" will soon appear, with the imprint of a New York publishing house. IV?m feafopci The steamship Africa, Captain Hockley, left Liverpool, at ll o'clock, on the morning of the 20th ult., amt Queenstown, the evening of the 21st tut., and arrived at Halifax, at half past 12 p. m., on February L The recent terrible shipping disas? ter was the leading theme of English journals. The weather continued stormy. On the 22d of December, in lati? tude 40 North, longitude 48 West, what was supposed to be one of the Atlantic cable buoys, was seen by a passing ship. The steamer London, which found? ered at sen, was valued at ?85,000 sterling, and her cargo was insured for ,?220,000 sterling. It is confirmed that the Rev. Dr. Woolley, the new Bishop of Sidney, aud Mr. G. V. Brooke, the actor, were among the passengers. The London Times contradicts the report that Mr. Layard had resigned the Under Secretaryship of Foreign Affairs. Thc cattle disease in England con? tinued to increase. Latest returns .how that the number attacked in a week approaches 10,000. The London Army and Navy Ga? zette believes the final touch has been given to the reduction in thc army for the next financial year. It is less than expected. Infantry battalions at home or returning will be reduced two companies. It is said the cavalry will escape the reduction altogether. The London .Observer says that Mr. Gladstone will dispose of tue surplus revenue, by removing a number of small articles from the tariff and by a modification of the sugar duties. The death of Gibson, thc eminent sculptor, is announced. Prince Lucien Bonaparte having been raised by the Emperor to the dignity of Imperial Highness, the report that Prince Napoleon would not assume the Presidency of tho Commission of the Exhibition had been put afresh into circulation. The ex-King Francis had had a fall, and had seriously injured, if not broken, his leg. Some of the Naples clergy have been putting up prayers for the recovery of "our King." The Pope was endeavoring to effect a loa.i of 2,000,000 sterling at Paris. The negotiations were not very pro? mising. A loan was proposed a short time back by the Viceroy of Egypt, to be negotiated through the Comptoir d'Escompt and the well-known house of Oppenheim. Some lille hesita? tion was shown in taking up this loan at the time it was proposed, and it is now announced that "inconsequence of the unusually large supply of cotton," it will not now bo required. The ambassadors of Gr?ece, Italy and Sweden at the Turkish Court had addressed a strenuous remonstrance to the Government, calling for more efficacious measures to secure, the safety of the navigation. Accidents were very frequent about the mouth of the Dardanelles, and the Turkish Government had done nothing what? ever to prevent them. The American squadron under Ad? miral Goldsborough had received orders to leave the Mediterranean and proceed to Lisbon. Reason not stated. WHERE IS STEPITEXS? The detectives say he is in Ireland -somewhere. The police of Kil? kenny said ho was in the neighboring town of Callan the other day, and accordingly they turned out at mid? night and searched towna and district, returning very tired and very hungry, and I need hardly say very crestfallen, in the morning. The coast guards oi Drogheda believed he was in a French lugger which hovered mysteriously off their shore towards the close ol last week, and so they rowed off and searched her, and returned saddei and wiser men, accompanied by thc "sacres" of captain and crew, whe could not understand the object ol his unexpected visitors. The mosl knowing portion of the Dublin citi? zens shake their heads and hint thal the Head Centre is not many furlong; ' off, and the Government, like theil detectives, appear to believe that ht is*somewhcYe or other among us. FESIAS FROOXiAJdAT?ON. I The following proclamation was found on a person named Flood I arrested in Dublin : Citizen soldiers, again we addres: I you on the importance of the coming ? struggle. To urge upon you the ne ! cessity of prudence we shall not nov do, as your past conduct proves yoi ! to be men of prudence and discretion But we shall urge upon you tho ne cessity of earnest preparation. Le all true Irishmen understand eacl I other. In a country where it is trea son to have a rifle, it is necessary fo you to put your weapons in conceal ment until the day of action. Tha grand work of liberation will sooi begin. Soon shall our country hav? an army of citizen soldiers; soon shal the sunburst shine upon our hills Our perfidious enemy, aware of th power with which she will have t cope, is making every preparation She is fortifying her strongholds, bar ing her prisons, armirfg her loya subjects-among the rest "Orange ?men." She is sending English am I Scotch troops to our country. Bu I her strongholds shall give way; he prison doors shall be opened; he ! arms and her troops become an ir strument against herself. She has t contend against that mightiest c powers-the outraged but almight people. The perjured press, in thei fear, thunder out against us. The} and all Irish foes, will soon hav cause to regret the day they -worked against their country. We call upon all classes of our countrymen, no matter what creed they profess, to 0 tami forth and be ready to aid in the liberation of Ireland. Ours is no party cause. We embrace Protest? ants, Catholics, Dissenters and all who love Ireland. For Leland a re? public, for Ireland in freedom we work, a band of patriots, bound to? gether by all the ties of unity and patriotism, pledged to ono another in the sacred cause of liberty. May we ere long commence that glorious struggle for tho accomplishment of which so many have sacrificed their lives on the scaffold and in the field. Let all true men hold themselves in readiness. We advise sobriety, pre? paration and readiness. Remember Emmet. Think of your imprisoned countrymen. By order of tho VIGILANCE COMMITTEE. God save the people. DECEMBER 30. The Fenian trials still continue at Dublin. A quantity of military uniforms, supposed to belong to Fenian officers, were discovered near Clonskee. An active search is still going *on <in Ireland for Head Centre Stephens. Madrid continued tranquil, but there were rumors of risings in va? rious parts of Spain. Semi-official correspondence qualifies the reports of these risings as having no impor? tance; and says it is believed that Government, finding its hitherto hu? mane course of procedure ill under 1 stood, is about to adopt a vigorous system of repression. OPENING OF THE COURT OF EQUITY. The Court of Equity, after a long in? terval of suspense, was again opened for its regular February term yester? day, Chancellor Johnston presiding, and will continue its sessions until the business is concluded. Chancel? lor W. D. Johnston is, for tho first time, in his official character before the Charleston public, and those but slightly acquainted with his character and attainments will feel confident in the assurance that he is destined to a distinguished judicial career, and will give to the matters of interest more immediately before him tho conside? ration to be expected from careful business habits, and a cultivated and ripe legal judgment. Many circumstances concur to make this an occasion of interest. Much business has accumulated, the dis? posal of which is necessary to the settlement of property and rights, while tho re-opening of our courts is necessary to the realization of civil law. We can only feel fully assured that we aro under the arbitrament of our own civil tribunals when we shall find them again in the exercise of their o?cial functions. Thc amount of business is not excessive, but it is important; it is in reference to the settlement of trusts, the partition of property, and thc adjustment, of mat? ters of business which, though in? volving no very great pecuniary in? terests, are yet necessary to transac? tions much affecting the well-being and order of our people; and, though there may have been courts, there? fore, of moro importance in respect to the interests before them, there has been no one, perhaps, of such real importance to the country. [Charleston JSrews. THE EFFECT OF THE STEVENS AMENDMENT.-The New York World, in the following article, takes exactly the ground assumed 'in the Dispatch of Friday last. We are fearful that the radicals will devise some method of depriving us of the right which the amendment concedes to us of re? gulating suffrage according? to our own notions. Wo quote from the World: "Nothing could bo easier than for the States it attempts to control to render it practically null. Thc whole energy of the amendment lies in this provision: 'that whenever tho elective franchise shall be denied or abridged in any State, on account of race or color, all persons of such race or color shall be excluded from thc basis of representation.' The Southern State would only have to declare, first, that all persons now enjoying thc elective franchise should continue to exercise it; and, secondly, that all persons hereafter admitted to it should be admitted on a prescribed educational or property qualification. These conditions would, in no re? spect, make the right of suffrage de? pendent 'on race or color;' for tho first distinction would discriminate only between the present possessors and future candidates, without regard to race or color; and the second (sup? posing the qualification to be educa? tional) would be simply between those who can read and write and those who cannot, without reference to race or color. But it would prac? tically excludo the great majority of adult negroes, and a large proportion of those of therising,generation. Tho political control would accordingly remain (for this generation, at least,) as completely in the white race as if no snell amendment were passed." THE BLUES AND GREYS MINGLE. Maj. Gen. F essend en, who has just been mustered out of tho United States service, has accepted the posi? tion of Superintendent of the New England division of the National Ex? press Company, of which Gen. Joseph E. Johnston is President. -..?-. The ico boats race on tho Hudson River at the rate of nearly a mile a minute. ^Counting House Calendar foi 1866. liiiillilmii^ ?Ju. -T I?1S11J1?

Escobedo, with his entire force, 250 strong, has left Camargo for some interior Mexican point. Gen. Canales, with a small force, has left Mier for Victoria. He and Gen. Escobedo are at open variance. The Ranehero says that Canales and Escobedo cannot escape to neutral territory for protection. An English, a French and a Spanish man-of-war arc cruising off the mouth of the Rio Grande, and three Mexi? can imperial war vesssels are cruising from off Brazos St. Jago to the mouth of thc Rio Grande. A better condition of affairs is now prevailing at Monterey than for some time past. . Business men, who had left there for*Saltillo, arc returning. Nearly all the merchants at Mata moras, Mexican and foreign-among the former several prominent and in? fluential liberalists-have published a solemn protest against the course of the United States army and civil officials on the Texas side of the Rio Grande, charging them with being responsible for the troubles and out? rages on the Rio Grande frontier, by aiding the partizans of Juarez-a party which, at present, the protest says, has no more foothold on that frontier than that afforded by said officials. Thc protest is very severe in i^s tone, and its truth is officially certified to by the Vice-Consuls of Spain, France, Prussia and Great Britain resident at Matamoras. The Fenian excitement is on tho increase in Canada, impelled by the j fear that the way to the freedom of Ireland by the preliminary inva? sion of Canada is the fixed policy of the leaders in the movement. The Canadian Fenians have issued an ad? dress denouncing the proposition; but this has neither calmed the pub? lic mind nor satisfied the authorities. Unusual agitation prevails through? out the upper province. The militia have been again called out, and troops are being hurried to the fron? tier to meet an expected invasion by? way of Sarnia or Windsor. The Se? dentary militia have been called to arms, at least a portion of them, for the whole strength amounts to 150.000 men. This force is only 1 i able to be called into active service in times of great danger, as in the rebellion of 1837. Whatever may be tho necessity for all those prepara I tionsand precautions, whether found I ed or unfounded, it is clear that at the present time the Fenians aro ! creating as great a scare in Canada as they are in the heart of England itself. It was rumored yesterday that President Roberts and General Sweeny passed through Hamilton, Canada, by railroad, on Thursday night.-New York Herold, 2d.
