The classical reade? kuows the quotation, but foe the general reader we' translate it thus: Whom God trishes to destroy. Se ?rat moires nuttL ...^ .. We hold that this is peculiarly a? plicable to Thad. Stevens and his party in Congress. This ie especially developed ?nd proved by the pro? posed tax of five cents per pound on cotton. Whatever spirit- -revenge, hatred or oppression-may have dic? tated or suggested this diabolical measure, its effect will unquestiona? bly be to drive the planters of tile South from its cultivation. The Southern States have long been pre? eminently the great cotton producer of the world ; they have defied compe? tition from any quarter, as they were enabled to deliver this universally demanded staple, at the great marts of the world, cheaper than any other producer ou the face of the globe. While it enriched "the South, it brought to the great commercial marts of the North and West the products of other climes; it built up, the great commission houses of New York, Boston, and other ports; it in? fused new life and vigor into every department of human industry, North, East, South and West; and in short, governed finance and commerce more powerfully than any other of the world's products. Is it any wonder that the wisdom or self-interest of the Sw York Chamber of Commerce caused this great body of financiers and mer? chants to call upon their representa? tives in the rump Congress to forego their purpose? Is it any wonder that-the practical and far-seeing statesmen decry this attempt, not only to injure the South, but to injure the great commercial interests of the whole country? No! while the mon? strous doctrine of protection and protective tariffs for the benefit of Thad. Stevens and his co-ironmon? gers of Pennsylvania has long brought into their coffers au untold wealth of II unjust gains, the Southern planter has never asked protection for his products. The cotton of the South needed no protection, for, as we have before said, it can be landed at the docks of Liverpool and Havre cheaper than the same staple can be " delivered from India or any other country which tries to produce iL In return ?or the vast shipments-three ' fourths o? all the cotton raised at the "* South-the thousands bf vessels re? turned to this country laden with the products and manufactures of every country in the world. And all this is to stop, with the vain hope of crushing the South, in taking from her every inducement to raise her principal staple. The radi? cals, by the imposition of this tax, would give to England a premium to enable her to supply herself from lier own possessions in the East. Daring the four years that the American supply was cut off, India, Egypt ami Brazil made large fortunes by supply? ing Liverpool and Manchester. The New York Chamber of Com? merce, in their memorial to Congress, says: "Whatever may be said to the con? trary, the quality seen of India cot? ton is good enough even to drag down our own growth, as happened in Liv? erpool, last month, to the extent ol sixpence sterling per pound-eqtia to fifteen or sixteen cents of our mo ney-in less than six weeks." And, if India can thus compete, when shipments were freely arrivinf from this country, what will she not be able to do when she gets the addi? tional advantage of five cents pe] pound, when her cotton is placee alongside with that from America Crush the South, say the radicals but, in crushing tho South in thit mode, you crush all our financial anr commercial interests, say thc states men and merchants of their own sec tion. But, would the infliction of thi unjust tax ruin the South? No! thanl God, no. The very civil war itself which wrought such evils otherwis to our section, developed the facttha the South is rich in varied and mani told resources. In soil and climate she stands unsurpassed by any conn try; she can raise the products of al most every clime. Com, wheat ? - . , . . . - 5 - 5 - ..' ? "S *' grasses, the frnits of ali countries, sire can raise with-profit. Her mine? ral resources oro beyond computS tion, a* their partial, development,, daring the w?r, abundantly testifies. Her witter power, for manufactories of all kinds, is unsurpassed in thia t?r any other eountry, nuil the pastures of Texas alone would supply meat for every Southern State! ?'Orth such a country be crushed by the imposi? tion of ft tax, iniquitous though it IHJ, on a single product? No. Let them, then, go on, and,-in the end, rt' will be seen who will be the loser. In the meantime, let tire Southern peo? ple betake themselves to the full development, of the mighty resources which lie within their reach, and which only require energy, pluck and industry to fill their gamers with the richest products vouchsafed to man by tho disposer of "every good ami perfect gift." _ _ CONFEDERATES IN MEXICO.-The Mexican Government publishes au official list, of the Confederates who have settled on land at Cordova, from which it appears that only thirty-eight of oar refugees in thal country have yet acquired any land. General Magruder and M. F. Maury have each (HO acres, and ail who hold the land have documents to show timi they purchased with their own moan* from private proprietors, and that it was not given by the Imperial Go? vernment. Let not our young men, therefore, be deceived by hopes thal will certainly prove fallacious. Mer of abundant means or of establishec scientific reputation, can live wit! ease in any civilized portion of tin globe, but others will find a hard tim? in Mexico. Take our advice, and re main at home. Miss Evans, the authoress of lieu lah, and other noted works of fiction has -generously purchased a marbi? Mausoleum for tho Confederate dent of Mobile. She luis set a good ex ample, that we are assured will l?t followed when Southern finances re cover from their present prostration We cannot expect the United State to do anything for those who fell ii arms for secession, nor are the Stat Governments now able to do any? thing. It is only from private muni ficence that our loved and lost cai now receive the monuments due t< their memories. All honor to Mis Evans ! We learn that the 25th Ohio Reg? ment (which was on duty in this cit; nearly a year) has been mustered ou of service, and left Charleston ft) home, a day or two ago. The Commissioner of Interna Revenue has issued an order correct ing certain instructions to assessor* concerning assessments of income for the year 1866, by which it appear a guardian residing abroad shouli return the income of his ward in th district where the ward resides; an that all expenses for insurance upo property and all actual losses in th business may be deducted from th gross income of the business of th year.

The Richmond papers, of Thurs? day, bring-tis the secondday's pro? ceedings of-'the United States Circuit Court, in that, city. Mr. Hennessey, Hn i tod States District Attorney, hav iiig moved an adjournment of the Court until October next, Mr. James T. Brady said: j - If yot?r Honor pleases, I did not expect to say ono word this morning in reference to the case of Mr. Davis, but some of the suggestions contain-' ed in what my learned friend has just read, make it proper for me to state that if Mr, Davis be not technically subject to your Honor's jurisdiction, it is only because no copy of this in? dictment, so far as I am advised, has ever been nerved upon him, nor any list of -witnesses, ?or any other act done, of those which are required to be done by the statute; it may be true that, in this techhical sense, he is not now, and never hos been, amenable to your authority; but my brother, Reed, stated that Mr. Davis was. not claiming the benefit of any of these want? of forms, but that, on the contrary, he was here to express from his own lips, speaking through ns, his ardent desire for an immediate trial; and though it may bc very hot in Richmond, it is infinitely worse where he is; and so far as the conve? nience of counsel is concerned, they caro nothing for that convenience, impelled, as they are, by a sense of duty. From my own experience in the city of Bichmond, whose hospi? tality I have enjoyed, certainly 1 would be happy to remain here, either through the heats of summer or the frosts of winter. We can only say that we arc entirely ready. We know that we cannot control thc action of the District Attorney. We I thank him for his polite response to our questions, and of course we leave this question for such action as the Government may hereafter think pro? per to take. Judge Underwood then said: It only remains for the Court to say that the District Attorney has cor? rectly represented the views of the Government on this occasion. The Chief Justice who is expected to pro sido on the trial has named the first Tuesday in October next as the time th:it will be most convenient for him, and the Attorney-General has indi? cated that it would bo utterly impos? sible for him, under the pressure ot his many duties, now greatly increased by the troubles on the Northern fron? tier, on so short a notice, to give tliat attention to this great question which its importance demands. Under all the circumstances, the Court is dis? posed to grant the motion of th? District Attorney, and I think I maj say to counsel that Mr. Davis will, ii; all probability, afc that lime, be brought before the Court, unless his case shall in the meantime be dis posed of by the Government, whicl is altogether possible. It is withii the power of the President of tin United States to do what he please: in these mattel's, and I presumo tint tho counsel for Mr. Davis would pro bably find it to the interest of thei: cheat to make application directly t< the Government at Washington. Bu tliis Court would not feel justified ii denying at this time this application which is in fact the application bot! of tho Chief Justice and of the At tom ey-General. When tho Court adjourns, it wil adjourn not until the next term which is in November, but until tb first Tuesday in October next. As i is supposed, from the array of conn sel on both sides that have beei named, it will be a long trial, ii which great political and constitu? tional questions are to be discusse and settled, probably taking tw months, it would undoubtedly b much more comfortable for counsel as well as for Mr. Davis himself, t have those months in the fall, rathe than in the summer, because it i every way more comfortable in Rici mond at that time than now. f think tho counsel is mistaken i supposing that Fortress Monroe i uot as comfortable a place in summe as Richmond. When I have bee there in summer I have found th sea bree/.es at Fortress Monroe vcr refreshing. Mr. Brady. But there ia thci very limited society, your Mono (Laughter. | Judge Underwood continued: Tl society is limited. However, tl Government is disposed to exton every reasonable privilege, and I ai happy to know that thc wife of tl prisoner is permitted to be with hin and that his friends are permitted I visit him. The motion of the District Atto ney is therefore granted. This Cou will adjourn, not until November, bi until the first Tuesday in October, t meet at this place. lt would be Se] tomber, but September is a lu month; timi, on the whole, the Chi Justice and tho Attorney-Gener prefer it should be October, when, presume, if not before, this ease w be disposed of. With these remarks ol' tho Jndg the business of the day was over, ai the interest of the bar and spectato at an end, and thc crowd in thc eon room quickly dispersed. It was length judicially ascertained that ?1 Davis, if trim I ut all, will be tri< next October. This was the fir great, point of interest, lt hail al been shown, by the statements of t District Attorney and the Judge, th Mr. Davis was not and never hi boen in the custody of this court, b was a. state prisoner in the hands of the President, and that as such .only the President was responsible for his retention, or was coin potent to bail or parole him. The whole case had been so managed as to tlirow upon the President the entire responsibility both for the delay which has already occnrred in bringing Mr. Davis to trial, or that may be incurred by a future disposition of his person. -After a brief consultation among themselves, Mr. Davis1 counsel being precluded by the declaration tliat their client was not in the custody of Che oourt from making any motion in hts regard, left the court room. Tb?* Cirent Armies of Ktaropc. While it is an inspiring spectacle to witness the sentiment of nationality assertiug itself among certa'a of the peoples of Europe against the arbi? trary divisions, made in the patt, of their territories in the interest of particular dynasties, it is yet a sad commentary upon thc boas* H! popu? lar enlightenment of the age that hundreds of thousands, and even millions of men can be marshalled to deadly combat by a few potentates claiming power and government over them. This seems no less the case now than in the most semi-barbarous periods in the world's history. That higher development of the fetding of nationality, that more cherished pride of character nnd race, which shows itself among the masses in more cul? tivated nations now, is in striking contrast with thc boorishness of former periods; but nevertheless there is a lamentable degree of ready and deluded submissiveness to tho self aggrandizing purposes of the few on tho part of the many. This is shown in what are called liberal os well as mouarchiol and more absolute Go? vernments, and in this day that ele? ment of popular sentiment, creditable to men generally, of attachment to tLe ancient unity of country and raes, of pride in the memories of their past, and the dreams of their future, is relied upon more than any other agency for the purpose of in? ducing a people to lend all their ener? gies to the waging of great wars. That sentiment is skillfully manipu? lated by politicians aspiring to rule, or potentates already in power and determined to perpetuate or extend it. The destiny of nationalities is skillfully appealed to in quarters where it is potent, and ignored where it is not or would be dangerous. Hence, wc soe equally in either of interests, the stupendous military preparations now going on among t!ie nations of Europe. The ligures are on a scale equal to, if not exceed? ing, those of our great civil war. The latest advices state that Austria has 600,000, and will soon have 900,000 men in the field, while Prus? sia is estimated to have 500,000, Italy 430,000, and France 100,000, the latter, of course, capable of being augmented to any number likely to be needed should sho engage iu the contest with as great facility as any nation extant. The figures may be exaggerated as to the present st.de of the annies, but the ultimate ability of the pow? ers to put such forces in thc Held nearly 1,000,000 of men on the side of Austria and the minor German States co-operating with her. and about the same number on the part of Prussia and Italy-is not doubted. This would be in addition to the aug? mentation of forces in Belgium, Den? mark, Switzerland and other States within the radius of the impending hostilities. Tn tim meantime, Turkey and Russia are moving largo bodies of troops, that which disturbs their relations pertaining more to the pro? vinces of Wallachia and Moldanothan the quarrel of Austria and Prussia over the spoils of the Dutchies, and the eagerness of Italy ti) re-acquire Venetia. Yet neither Turkey or Russia can be indifferent to the latter quarrel, especially Russia, as the war would impinge upon her boundaries. The immense cost of all this, whether war comes or not, is, of course, upon the people. They must not only d<> the lighting, but must pay its pri?e also in money. And this is none the less the case in republics than in mo? narchies, where war is permitted. [ Ballimore Sun. ? - -> # ? ? THE VALLEY OF VIRGINIA.-The no? ble people of the Valley of Virginia, who contributed so largely to the he? roism of the Confederate armies, and bore, with .so much fortitude, the desolations inflicted on them by a ruthless enemy, are now, with praise? worthy energy, repairing their wastc placcs and effacing the traces of thc destroyer. The Shenandoah Herald, of last Thursday, after station: "that nearly every mill and barn in the Val? ley, between Harrisonburg and Win? chester, was burned," says: "With that indomitable energy and perseverance characteristic of the hardy yeomanry of the Valley, they did not fold their anns and spend their timo in fretting and worrying themselves about the matter, but went to work with a hearty will to re? pair the ?lainages; and, notwithstand? ing the slender resources in money at command, new hains and mills have risen.

EDITOR: In the issue of the 19th ; inst., your commenta on a report (so i called) of proceedings of a public meeting, at Columbia, communicated to the New York World, brought to my attention by a friend, you naturally manifest surprise at certain expressions attributed to me. [ With your knowledge of the general, i persistent and diabolical perversion of ? Southern sentiment, you might have known i it was a base calumny, when you road, in j a Northern paper, that a colonel of the : Confederate army, who consecrated his ' sword in the noblest cause that freemen ever fought for-the canse of George I Washington and Robert Lee-uttered one , sentiment of regard for the general of thc : nineteenth century, whose only parallel in I history is illustrated by a certain other i general, described in Gibbon's Decline and I Fall, who, in A. I). 410, gave the Eternal ; City up to tho pillage of hie soldiers, with '? this praiseworthy restriction: "Save the ' honor of the women, and the buildings : dedicated to religion," (but what Alaric i spared. Sherman ?id not protect, as wo i men were insulted and eb ur ch os were bumed.) I opposed a preamble offered by a citi - ? zen. upon the ground that the purpose of j the meeting was not to prejudge the case; I that it was not wise, politic or just; after t the facts had lieen elicited, and it was e* j tablishcd beyond controversy who wa* j guilty of tho high crini? before Ood and j man "of destroying this beautiful city, and i turning ont in a winter's night 20,000 wo? men and children, without food or cloth j ing, amongst a brutal and drunken sol ; dierv, garnered from ail nations, tribss. kindred-! and tongues; after the heinous : sin was exposed in all its deformity, then j thc wretch would be branded with "the in? ! famv he deserved, and coming g?n?rations . would call him accursed, i In advocating a fair and impartial inves? tigation of the tacts, I used the remark: "Whatever we may think of Sherman, lie ! stood high iu the annals of the history of j Mn country." We of the South have no j cot adey; but Heaven forbid that I should j ever consider "tho incendiary and robber" as an honor te any country. But the moat serious misrepresentation . in the report, (so-called,) is the statement I that resolutions to vindicate Hampton and j throw the blame on Sherman, failed.
