"V we opposed to those schemes where
ft . they induce the landed proprietor of
r -/*l?i* Booth tb' sell out and transfer
whatever remnant of his fortune may
Q be loft to him, to a distant land and
clime. The evidences are daily in
. .*. creasing that there is "life in thevokl
"" - land yet"-Chat laud we are hound tc
" . " by ao many hallowed memories and
associations, where so many of ou3
v loved ?nd honored dead lie buried.
But besides the ties of sentimeni
and affection, there are other power
ful motives why we should not ?le
sett our. old homes, our beloved sec
tion, at this time. In Georgia, it
?Var own and other Southern States
-what capital can be spared is rapidb
finding its way into investments ii
"manufactories, foundries, niachim
shops and other enterprises, wi iii
the planter is doing the best he can
under the circumstances, to rai?
cotton and provisions, and who will
it is thought, produce enough to sup
ply" our wants. Besides enterprise
heretofore noticed in our paper, bot'
iur this State, Georgia, Alabama am
some more Southern States, our rc
cent Virginia exchanges bring us th
gratifying intelligence that in th
"valley" of that fertile State the spir:
of enterprise is developed in an a
most incredible degree. In Stantoi
. two large iron manufactories ha\
been established, and mills are goin
up in every direction in August
County. A large woolen factory au
several foundries are also mentione
among the new enterprises in th
section.
All these signs are highly encoura
ing, and lead us to hope well for tl
future of the Southern States ai
their early restoration to their form
prosperity. We have an abidb
faith that the sceptre has not depa:
ed from the monarch "Cotton;" tl
the extraordinary perils of war a;
an unprecedented revolution in t
labor system which produced t
king staple, has only tempo:
rily interfered with that financ
and commercial sway which he 1
so long exercised. His throne v
again bo fully restored to tho Sou
ern States, whose people have en j 03
for years the beneficence of his ru]
But dropping the figure, the p
experience of the world, the mi gi
efforts of British manufacturers s
operators in the Btaplo, have dcm.
strated that the Southern States
America must continue to poss
the monopoly of its profitable \.
Unction. And although wo have 1
a most terrible breaking up of
most appropriate producing pow
yet we have seen already the si
that foreign capital is not o verlo
ing this new field which the pros
condition of the planting Sti
opens up to remunerative inv
menta. Capitalists from the Nc
are investing; along the Mississi
and Bed Eivers they aro joiu
forces with tho planters whose mt
have been so terribly reduced;
see advertisements of emigration
land societies all over the North ;
we know it to be a settled law ol
descriptions of industrial pursi
that whenever capital finds a pro
ble scope for energetic applicat
labor will invariably follow.
In several previous articles in
journal, we have demonstrated
the true interests of those who
duce the staple, will induce the
engage in its manufacture ut lu
the heavy transportation expc
and other outlays hoing thus avoi
We will not, therefore, enlarge 1
this point in the present article,
advantages are so obvious, and
results so clear to the mind ol
thinking man, that there is no r<
to doubt but that thc South
shortly become an extensive n
facturing region, entering into
valry with the mills of Lowell

supply*?of foreign markets,

with the raw staple, but wit

up-to tlie requirements of onr~.posi~
tion, and to eherish ih this respect a
spirit, of self-reliance.
Then let us not abandon the (n%
land, although we are passing through
the shadows -of inisfortnuenow; "the

Dr. Andrews, inventor of tho so

The French Minister, M. M?ntho
lon, had an interview on Saturday
with Secretary Seward. It is under?
stood in diplomatic circles that he
expresses the opinion very freely that
the war-oloud. which suddenly appear?
ed in Europe, after the Emperor's
speech, will be dispelled. He sn^s
the Emperor has no idea of going to
I war. Sir Frederick Bruce, the Eng?
lish Minister, received advices per
j last mail, the tenor of which is more
pacificatory.- The financial difficul?
ties in England, it is believed, are
passed.
j In a late trial for treason in tho
State Circuit Court at Nashville, the
presiding justice ruled that the par?
don of the President in the cases of
treason purges the offence against tho
United States, but does not effeotthe
offence against the State; and that,
although the laws of nations protect
belligerents during the existence oi
war from prosecution in the civil
courts for treason, yet. after the war
is over, and peaco declared, tho sol?
diers who participated in thc rebel?
lion or war may be punished as trai?
tors therefor. These radical justices
and politicians seem to have an in?
tense desire to go down to posterity

ijl** ?^TOpes: Way to Amend ttac ^P"*
.tisarilon. ^ .
Tho. ffiicktnat TnteUigencei'j one of
the. ablest conducted journals in the
country, lias an article on amending
thc Constitution, from which we ex?
tract. The positions taken by the
ht/ntti'jencftr) pointing out the differ?
ence between the two modes o?
amending, which the Constitution
itself provides for, are well considered
and forcibly presented :
The Constitution provides ' two
modes of amendment, as follows;
' .Article Y. The Congress, whenever
two-thirds of both Houses shall deem
it necessary, shall propose amend?
ments to this Constitution, or, on thc
application of thc Legislatures ol
two-thi.us of the sevend Status, ahaU
call a convention for proposing
amendments.
The fact of providing two modef
of amending thc Constitution show*
that, in th?opinion of tl?c framers o.'
the Constitution, one or the othei
might be expedient- at difieren
times, and under different, oircnm
stances.
The two modes pointed ont hnv<
different objeots in view: thc first,
which two-thirds of. Congress is an
tliorized to initiate the amendment
is to allow thc Federal Governinou
to suggest such amendments as maj
occur to it as expedient; the secon?
mode, by wliich, ut the instance o
two-thirds of the Stute?, aeonventioi
of all the States is called, is to giv
the States a way by which to initi?t
amendments. The two modes o
making amendments to the Constitu?
tion aro not hop-hazard expedients
without any definite parp?se, bu
they are the result of a profound in
sight into tho agencies of our Pede
ral Government.
When tho Federal Govemmen
needs some addition to or change ii
tho fundamental law to its efficien
working, it is proper that it shoul
have the opportunity of priginatin
amendments.
When, on the other hand, sonn
tiling of a graver character; who
the primary interests " of the State.?
the principals, are to be re-adjusted
it is peculiarly proper that the Stab
shall take thc initiative in thc procos
of amendment.
In ordinary cases tho modo ?
amendment by the initiation of tw?.
thirds af the Congress may suffiee.
In-cases of the lust importance, th
amendments should originate in th
convention of all the States.
lt seems to us that there are vcr
striking advantages in this mode t
amending the Constitution.
1. It is more in harmony with th
purpose to be accomplished. IL
not proposed by any amendments t
p;ive any additional powers to tb
Federal Gto-vernment. The amen?
ments look to the regulation of tl
compact as between thc States. l'<
instance, the most vital amendmei
which has been agitated concerns tl
degree ?>f political power certai
elliss?? of States shall possess; th,
is to say, whether tho basis of repi?
sen tation shall be changed. Tl
other vital amendment is to deto
mine whether certain classes of cit
/.ens iu some of tito States shall 1
disfranchised. Neither of the
amendments in any degree affect tl
powers of the Federal Governmen
Tliey concern purely thc relations
the States to each other.
2. Thc assemblage ol* all the Shit
in convention is the most solon
mode of considering amendment
There has never been but one co
volition ?>f all tho States, and th
was the historic convention whii
framed tho Constitution. If we ci
conceive that tho grund and impos?
Ampliictyonic Council should ev
again be assembled, surely wc cann
imagine an occasion moro prop
than tho present. At thc end of tl
most gigantic internecine struggle
modern time?, the States all rmi?
the unity of their national life.
;?. The convention of the States
more suitable, as beiug a body sole?
cd exclusively for the special missii
of considering tho situation, ai
providing such remedies as may a
pear proper. This body will ha
nothing else to do but to consider I
condition of the country, and to sn
gestsuch a programme as may b
promise to advance thc interests
the country. A body having bu
single ?ltity may he supposed
bring t?j the discharge of that iii
the maximum degree of attenti
an?l ability.
.1. Such a body is nuvst apt to t<
resent precisely tit?- present conditi
of publie sentiment on the gil
questions involved. The Congi
was electi??l more than a year ?"
lt ^presents tim.war fury. A natii
al con volition would represent 1
present ideas of peace. Besidt-'s, 1
country is more capable of a w
judgment now than when thc O
gress was elected, luca usc the fa
from which to form an opinion
much more numerous now than th
ii. Another very important consi
ration is that the convention is m
opt to be composed of a higher or
of men than thc ordinary run
members of Congress. Tho rea
of this Ls. that a great body like tl
out of thc usual order of thin
having such great questions ??f .sta
manship before it, would, ?LS a gc
ral rule, command the first tabu
the country. On the contrary, i
notorious that in vast numbers of
stances the. first intellects of
country do notseek seats in Cougr
Iwoftuse th?* way in which polil
. - . y_ ./ ' . >'?'
canvasses are conducted in a oonsid-1
, arable degree deters the most suitable
pBSSons from straggling for snell po
6.-ItisBaore harmonious with the
genius of our" Government?. ? V The
States being sovereigutios, established
the Federal Government with certain
supreme powers, operating witliin
comparatively a narrow sphere.
After such a convulsion as the States
have passed through, and the pur?
pose is to consider everything that
may affect thc national life, involving
all the relations of the States to each
other and to tho Federal Govern?
ment, nothing is so consistent with
thc nature of our complex Govern?
ment as the convening of the States
in council.
. 7. This mode relieves all tho em?
barrassments of the situation. Con?
gress, the legislative power of the
Federal Government, is utterly with?
out power to exclude the Senators
and Representatives from any of the
States, supposing them to rest under
no personal disability.
r Tile delegates from every State
could participate in the preparation
of tho amendments, which is all-im
pottant in order .to attain the highesl
degree of intelligence on thc subject.
It is but just, too, to the unrepre?
sented States, that they should hav?
a full and equal participation in ali
tho process of amendment.
In saying thus much, it should b<
understood that we favor a nationa
convention to amend the Constitu
tion only as an alternative measure t<
tho schemes of Congress. But w?
are not in favor of a national conven
tion to proposo constitutional amend
mcnts at this period of agitation. I
ia the duty of Congress to receive th?
representatives of the South. Tb
onus ol' responsibility must rest oi
their shoulders, with all its cons?
quencos, before tho tribunal of th
people at the autumn elections.
'Inc Treaty Napoleon Detests.
As "N apoleon, in his Auxerre speech
I declared his detestation of tho treat;
: of 1815, it is interesting to remembe
what thatHreaty AVUS.^ The Pail Ma
(?azette sums up its points thus:
Tn the first place, it was f igned b
a larger number of States than ha
ever before united in a settleincut i
European affairs, including Anstrif
France, England, Russia, Pru ssh
Spain, Portugal and Sweden. Con
? iug also immediately after the wid<
j spread shattering of old laud-marl
consequent upon French conquest
j the re-arrangement of territorio
amounted almost to a reconstrnotioi
i This reconstruction was based almo
; exclusively on dynastic consider!
! lions, the real welfare of nations an
I the tendencies of what, are now calk
i "nationalities"' beingscarcely thougl
l of. Everywhere were nations, <
i fragments of nations, plnood und.
: foreign sovereignties.
I England's gain, indeed, was ful
j equalled by lier loss in the new pla:
Site kept Multa, which was cssouti
; to her position in the Mediterr?nea
i and where her rule was not nnw(
j come; for the sake of Europe gen
j rally, she undertook tho protectora
! of thc Ionian Islands, now got rid c
j and to satisfy royal prejudices, si
; also preserved the kingdom of Ha
, over, now also got rid of.
In Italy, Milan and Venice we
i given to Austria, and Sardinia w
I confirmed to Piedmont; while t
, I inchies of Tuscany, Parma, Mode
I and Placentia were recognized
i sham independent sovereignties, p
verned by collateral branches of t
1 Austrian Hapsburg.
Austria still further obtained pi
session of tho Tyrol, illyria a
1 dalmatia.
l*iMssiu's f ains were enormous, at:
unlike many ol' the Austrian, wc
acquisitions of real power. Wi
half of Saxony, nearly nil Westphal
Sc.. dish Pomerania, and almost
the Lower Llhine provinces, s
! shirted afresh asa rival of Aust
far more formidable than before.
ii: (lie North of Europe, Tins
received Finland from Sweden; a;
compensation for which Sweden
ceivi.'d Norway, which Wits tal
from Denmark; and Denmark, w
was hot represented nt the congr?
gol nothing in return.
As to Poland, the three great pi
: thinners made some fresh rectili
timi of boundaries. Thc innum<
hie small German States which 1
existed before thc French lleve
lion, and which had Leen what di]
luutist cull mediatized, or, as pl

ful neighbors. Holland, having ce
lier < ?crinan possessions, was c
soled with thc Boigie provinces,

remained much as before.
