The National Intelligencer thus dis? cusses the question of lost rights: lt seems tu ?is that there is a constant false assumption running through every radical argument on tho question of restoration. Some tell us tliat the States have commit? ted suicid", that by the act of treason tiley lost their vital relations to the Federal Government; others declare that the Southern people have for? feited all their rights under the Con? stitution hy engaging in rebellion; others assert that the installation of tue Confederate Government was a virtual renunciation of allegiance to | this, and converted malcontent citi- I /.ens into alien enemies, over whom \ we have acquired the rights of con- ? quest, and of whom and whose pro perty we eua make such disposition.! as the law-making power may deter- ? mine. In all these theories, and every statement of the radicals eau be resolved into one or the other, there, is un assumption that there were no loyal men at the South, or that the acts of temporarily success- ? fal revolutionists can legally deprive j :t faithful citizen of his constitutional rights. We believe neither of these assumptions. A Governor tuny com? mit treason, tin' whole State organi? zation may plunge into rebellion, a large majority of a State may ivar the standard of revolt, and for awhile so .successfully as to overthrow the loyal element; but this does not divest that element of its inalienable rights'; tin1 moment they cnn safely do it, they are privileged to organize a new Government. Their rights as citi? zens of a State are not lost; they do not need the vivifying breath of an Act of Congress or of Executive power to recreate them. They aro indefeasible, inalienable, and grow inevitably out of the Constitution. Suppose a Governor, in time of war, goes over to the enemy; he simply abdicates Iii ? functions, but he does not thereby divest the people of their right to have und elect a Governor. I Suppose the entire body of State officials us" their vast power in favor of an invading foe; that is a subver? sion of the State Government, but not. au annihilation o? the rights of those who are betrayed, yet who may lind it impossible at thc time to re? sist it. At no time during this eventful struggle, has any loyal white citizen of Alabama or the Carolinas lost his right to representation in the United Stutt s Senate and in the House of Representativos. The black citizen nrver had that right, and it is not, therefore, *i question of recovery for him (d' what was in abeyance, but of creation. When the military power, which prevented loyal citizens from administering their Government in any Stale, was overthrown, that in? stitut they were privileged-nay, it was their right and their duty-to re? create their Government. We care not how tliis was done, whether by a convention called through a military Governor, or at the call of leading citizens, or by Act of Congress, the sovereignty was inherent and inde? feasible, lint prior to the installation ; of the Government so created, mili- ! tary law prevailed, and the will of; thc commander-in-chief, in so far as i it. did not contravene existing Federal legislation, was the supreme law. j But when that State Government ? was organized and inaugurated, all the constitutional functions suspend? ed by the hostility of the insurgents, were, forthwith resumed, and the only question for Congress is, are the represt nfcatives it sends duly elect e l and duly qualified? But to as? sume that nil the State Governments of the South do not represent the loyal ?nen of their respective States, and on that assumption to refuse td enter into thc question of the quali tica tion und election of one of them, was a gross wrong to the true-hearted Unionists, and a bold infraction of the Constitution. So much in relation to the Jost rights of the Unionists of the South. " . " ' I A word now os to ox-rebels. A man who engages in treason forfeits his I life and his property, but neither can be taken from him without duo pro? cess of law. Radical stump-speakers trout of this forfeiture ?is if nil that was necessary to be dono was to catch a man with arms in his hands, or ono who has won notoriety in serving the rebel cause, and forth? with we are at liberty to seize his pro? perty and put a ropo round his neck. But even a rebel has a right to a fair trial, and, until convicted, cannot be legally divested of his citizenship or his property? It is not the fact ale ne, but tho legal proof of tho fact, that brings with it the penalty of forfei? ture. Ours is a Government of law; forfeitures and punishments are to be inflicted, not by the mad voice of passion, but according to tho forms prescribed by tho statute. Neither of Iiis liberty, Iiis property nor his life can that citizen be deprived, save by lino process of law. Had Congress eli osen to disfranchise ex-rebels, or any portion of them, prior to the end of the rebellion, it would have had the undoubted right to make that a penalty of treason. But after the rebellion is ended, the power to prescribe punishment-that is, retro-action-is forbidden by the terms of the Constitution, which pro? hibits expressly any ex post facto legis? lation. Thi'only loss of rights, there? fore, falling upon rebels, is such loss as may result front si conviction of their crime. But as it is not pro? posed to hold a universal assize at the South, as sound policy and neces? sity both determine that there shall be few trials and convictions, practi? cally the ex-rebels are put ou the same level with the loyalists, and the failure of the Congress to make any discrimination before the close ol the rebellion ought, not to be atoned for by unjustly and unconstitution? ally imposing conditions precedent on the loyalists of the South to theil restoration to their rights in the hall; of Congress. Forcwii rni'd-Furcnrmrd. The New York World says: The mutterings of revolution dail] prow more distinct. Just ono monti ago this week, we exposed tho plot <? the radicals to have the militia of th several States secretly armed, and t< secure from the (General Government if possible, a distribution among tb Northern States of the arms in it possession. Since then, events liav marched on with marvellous rapidity The conclave of radical Governors a Philadelphia during the sessions o the bogus Southern Convention wa not so accid?ntalas it was represente at the time to be. What was the and there planned has thus fui bee a well-kept secret. Recent occui ronces, however, seem to indicat something of the spirit which pei vaded that mysterious meeting of th Chief Magistrates of so many Nortl ern States. The repeated attempts in Ohio, Ii diana and Illinois to put down pr< minent Democrats while they wei battling for the cause of the Unioi and to break up conservative mee ings during the political canvas: were more thin the ordinary man test?t ions of an approaching electioi The distribution cd' arms and tl suspicions quartering of soldiers I the Governor of Missouri in certai portions of the State over which 1 presides, evinced something mo: than a proper magisterial determin timi to preserve order. The threa against the President of the Unite States that within the past mont have fallen so thick and fast from tl bps of radical leaders, mean som thing mon; than the bombast stump speeches that is designed accomplish, by inflaming the passio what could not be accomplished t appeals to the judgment; and aime as we write, there can be heard tl angry shouts of radical mobs in Pl ladelphia as they sack Democrat club rooms, disturb Democratic mei ings and insult Democratic standar bearers. Can any man of sound mil doubt what these things mean? If any are puzzled as to the tr signification of these occurrences, < commend to their careful considei tion the article from the Louis vi Journal-evidently from the pen the senior editor, Mr. George Prentice -which we re-print tl morning. The warnings therein i tered come not a moment too soc The Journal is right in saying tl "it is as true that there is a North? rebellion now as there was a Southe rebellion four years ago;" and it right in adding that "just as it fail in one section, it will inevitably 1 in the other." Not Democrats alone, not Repa! cuiis alone, but men of all part alike should heed these muttering? revolution. Let the present cou of things be unchecked, and the suit is inevitable. Radicalism, now developing, means nothing e but civil war. Forewarned is forearmed. Tho Commissioners of Pensions during- the month of September ad? mitted 2,333 widows', mothers', und orphans' claims for pensions, and re? jected 126. Of this class of claims there yet remain 2,907 awaiting evi? dence from departments, and 2G,320 awaiting evidence from claimants; 1,565 invalid claims were admitted during the month, and 209 rejected. The following Generals were regis? tered amongst the guests at the Spottswood Hotel, Richmond, on Tuesday last: Geu. Joseph E. John? ston, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Gen. Be? verly Robinson, GOD. Jumes Conner, S. C., Gen. Thomas A. Harris, Gen. Mulford, U. S. A. What is tho difference between a person transfixed with amazement and a leopurd's tail? The one is rooted to thc spot, and the other is spotted to the root. Accounts, thus far, from all sec? tions of Missouri, show that the re? gistration of voters ia progressing rapidly and quietly. Even if Maximilian is turned out of Mexico, he won't be very badly off, as his wife's inheritance is worth t?S,000,000. A brave policeman in Jersey City discharged his revolver at a woman who resisted an arrest of her little boy, but the bullet missed her. lu a row between two women nt Washington, one called the other "a villainous copperhead treasury-clerk woman." Forney held her bonnet. Au exchange says that during the war thousands of Union soldiers were killed through information given to the rebels by negro spies. There are fully 20,000 widows and 60,000 orphans (whites) in Alabama, and three-fourths of them are utterly destitute. The Venetian debt, which is to be shifted from Austrian to Italian shoulders, amounts to 250,000,000 francs.

In the meantime, owing to embarrassments and losses, the timi of Emery Brothers, consisting of Wm. B. and G. W. Emery, made an assignment, and these entire works and business were sold, and purchased by other parties, and the said firm ceased to exist from November 1, IS62. leaving the brothers, Wm. B. und t i. W., hopelessly bank rupt. On his return from England, in thu early part, of 18t>4. the present senior proprietor ! negotiated for and re-purchased the entire interest, real and personal, in anti to these ! works and business, including itu entire accumulation of patterns, working machinery j and its business, and continued the same, with the aid o? Win. B. and (j. W., n> NM I vember 1, 1861, when he assumed its entire management on his own account -Wm. B. I and G. W., for a very valuable cash consideration, preferring to relinquish all antioi ? pated interests and retire therefrom, and with the intention with these finnis of e..m promising with their creditors. He has since associated with him his eldest son, HORACE HERBERT EMERY, mulei tho stylo and name at the head of this notice, and continues the business, in all it branches, at the old stand-than which tn% more complete establishment of its kir-.d exists in the country. They have largely increased their facilities, made many new and valuable additions and improvements to their already largo assortment of machines, which their expe? rience and observation, at home and abroad, have suggested as desirable. ?
