Tho Montreal (Canada) Neus, com? menting on the proposition to make IEL. E. Lee Governor of Virginia, has the following reflections: The persistencv with -which the organs of Southern opinion dilute, upon the glorious incidents of the campaign, the intense interest with I which the actors in those stirring scenes are regarded, in spite of the abounding miseries entailed by the war upon the Southern people, give evidence of a strength and continuity in the national sentiment which ought to extort the admiration rather than the hatred of their conquerors, and quicken the exercise of a mag? nanimity which has not yet charac? terized the acts of the American Government or people. The policy of the North, viewed in either-.-a political or social aspect, cannot fail, sooner or later, to rekin? dle the elements of strife; and it is hard to say what combinations the South may not be enabled to form, should Northern hatred again force them to blows. Daily subjected to humiliations more disastrous than defeat, denied the aid which a mag? nanimous conqueror never refuses to a fallen enemy, stung to tho quick at being placed on un equality with the freedmen, erstwhile bound to them as much by ties of affection and gra? titud?1 as by the rights of proprietor? ship, forced into the living death of a political union which they hate, and which now deprives them ->f all participation in the government of the common country, it may indeed be regarded as inevitable that they will seek again to throw oft* the in intoleruble yoke, and trust to the arbitrament of battle to relieve thom from Northern domination. With the Franco-Mexican imbroglio still un? settled-the Monroe doctrine reite? rated by the American press, Govern? ment and people-Northern diplo? macy conspicuous for an arrogant dictation unknown in the modern history of States, and a studied vio? lation of the principles of that neu? trality of which the American Go? vernment constitutes itself the sole judge and interpreter-the European powers would view a renewal of the rebellion with widely different sensa? tions than were evoked by a%truggle involving the extinction of an insti? tution repugnant to civilization. If the North were wise-if the Govern? ment and people were possessed of but an ordinary amount ot prudence and foresight, they would cease all attempts at repression, withdraw the obnoxious constitutional amendment, and, by a kind aud conciliatory policy, bring back the loyal allegiance of the States lately in arms against her. By neglecting to do this, she will render herself responsible for fresh disasters; and iu the present temper of both North and South and the great European powers, there are elements of embroilment which might speedily burst into a flame, and en? velop Anglo-Saxon civilization in, perhaps, a common glory and a coin wen ruin. MUST BEAK IT.-An indignant planter tells tho Mississippi Index something of his experience with freelmen as laborers. "If Caesar," say she, "complains of a slight pain in hs misery, and refuses to work, Cato traightway declares he'll not go to tho'i( l,l unless Caesar dots. This demort.izes John, who demoralizes Bob, Wk) begets dissatisfaction in .TelT.,wh kt ?ops some other hand back, nht sometimes the whole set are at a st^cl-still on account of the deliuqueuc, Gf one. We aro not allowed to \\ = p them, sir, and to"see the lazy rasds standing like posts over lands twt need every hour of their time-wV Bir> ola Job himself couldn't hold h temper under such aggravations, u.c country's gone up, sir-gone ap The Supremo t,Urt, of Pennsyl? vania has just decked that the shares in National Bank iire subject to State taxation in ie hanefcj of the share-holders. WAS WASHINGTON A REBEL?-Thc I Richmond Times, iu an editorial on j tho anniversary of Washington's j birth-day, makes thc; following enu? meration of tho wrongs and outrages which led to the rebellion iu 177G: 1. Keeping in the colonies, in the time of peace, standing armies. 2. Reudering the military inde? pendent of and superior to the civil power. 3. Imposing taxes without allowing representation. 4. Tlie depriving of the colonists of the benefit of trial by jury. 5. For suspending Colonial Legis? latures. G. In inciting insurrection, likely to result in an undistinguished de? struction of all ages, sexes and condi? tions. 7. Abdicating Government, by de? claring us out of the protection of the mother country. 8. Quartering large bodies of armed troops on the colonists. 9. Sending into the colonies swarms of officers to collect taxes and oppress the colonists. 10. Befusing to pass proper laws for large districts of people, unless they would relinquish the right of representation. 11. Obstructing and interfering with the judiciary, thus denying just? ice. 12. Interfering with legislative bo? dies, and dissolving them for op? posing, with manly firmness, inva? sions of the rights of the people. 13. Protecting military officers by mock trials, for olt'euces which they have committed against the colonists. Adds the Times: Wei make these curious extracts from a (plaint and almost forgotten document, which is called the "De? claration of Independence." A TEXAS FACTOKV.-The Houston Telegraph says: "The Eureka Mills are now turn? ing out some 250 yards of cloth (denims, drills and plaids) daily, and will, within ten days or two weeks, have twenty looms running, which will give a daily product of sonn; 500 or GOO yards. We learn that the company have ordered twenty more looms, and will look for them by the 1st of April, when they will order still thirty more, which will be all contemplated in the present arrange? ment of the building, machinery, ?fcc. With seventy looms, making 2,000 yards of cloth per day, the mills at once take rank as muong the most important in the State. ? "Some apprehensions were felt that there might be a difficulty in finding operatives. Such bas not, however, been the case. Judge Mun? ger, the manager, informs us that per? sons who have never seen a factory before, speedily become skilled in thc management of machinery, and as fast as he can get his looms ready, operatives who have learned theil management, stand ready to take their place before them." If it is true that outside pressure has so far changed the opinion held bj the House two weeks ago, says tin Ti'ibune, that the friends of the bank rupt bill are even afraid to move ? committee of conference, the fact i: not creditable to Congress. Tin bankrupt bill is indispensable to i healthy condition of national busi ness; its necessity has been demon strated again and again, and as; sited by the majority of the Horse. Tba a few merchants who are afraid o losing their bad debts by ii. pussagi should have the power to threaten it defeat, would be a startling proof o the weakness of the legislato/s, am their inability to form an opir.ion ii the Hall of Representative?, whicl cannot be changed bj tvalk inti the lobby. The country insists tba the bankrupt bill shall be passet wi; hout delay. On the Ogdensbnrgh frontier Richard Kane was detected, oi Tuesday, in the act of smuggling li qnorfrom Canada. One of the beam in his sleigh rack was bored abou ! seven feet with a two inch auger, an contained about three gallons of whi? kev. Itwas so constructed as to deceiv j th?; most prying eyes, and was di; ! covered by the merest accident. The authorities of the town of S: i Albans, Vermont, recently made j raid upon all the liquors to be foun I in the village, arrested thc venden j including the hotel-keepers. As a offset, the landlords have pulled dow j their signs. That lovely and im pi i ant town is therefore, at presen without any public accommodatio fer man or beast. In New York city. William B.

J. H. RENICK, Proprietor, No. 71 Broadway, New York, Room 28. Fob I 3mo FIFTEEN YEAHS AGO AND NOW. Fifteen years ago, HOSTETTER'S STO? MACH RITTERS was struggling into no? tice against tho prejudices which every? thing new, however excellent, is doomed to encounter. To-day, it stands at the head of all thc tonic and alterative preparations in exist? ence. Its celebrity has evoked many imi? tations, but no rivals. Physicians pro? nounce it the only safe stimulant, that has ever been introduced into the sick cham? ber. In thc hospitals of the army and navy, the surgeons lind it the very best tonic for convalescents, and report it as invaluable for sustaining the vigor ol troops on the march, as a remedy for scurvy and all scorbutic affections, and as tho only specific for sea-sickness. Califor? nia and Australia have- emp' atically en? dorsed it as thc Miner's Medicino )?ir ex? cellence, and in Spanish America and a! the tropical climates, it is considered th? only reliable antidote to epidemic fever. There is no mystery about the causes o its success. It is the only s to m ac ic am alterative in which arc combined the gram requisites of a mild, pure and unvitiatec vegetable stimulant, witli the finest selec tion of tonic, anti-bilious, anti-scorbutic aperient and depurativo herbs, plants roots and barks that have ever been inter mixed in a medicinal preparation. lt is also proper to state that the bitter: are sold exclusively in glass, anil never under any circumstances, by the gallon oi tin; barrel. Impostors and imitators an abroad, and the only safeguard the publii has against them is to see that the Ritter they Duy bear the engraved label and not of band of Messrs.
