COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Mor mus, Aagust 13, 1870. HRS Napoleon a Winning Card In Re? serve!-I.cs Idee? Napolconneti. The suggestion made by some of our ootemporaries, that Napoleou holds tho winning card of republicanism in his hands to play it when necessary, ia ono that we do not oonoar in, and yet it has Borne plausibility. Tears aud years ago, before Napoleon had aohieved reputa? tion, when he was a resident of New York and lived at Hobokeu, he is repre? sented as making with sonic boon com? panions a remarkable wager, viz: That he would be, before his death, nt thc head of the Fro neb nation as the cham? pion of Democracy, and that he would give tho right construction in thc inte? rests of humanity and civilization to his uncle's prophecy of 1821-"t/i sixty years, Europe xoill be Republican or Cos? sack." And he explained that by "tho right construction," he nioaut "republi? can." Taking this incident, now, in connection with tho speculations of tho present, to say the least, the coincidence is remarkablo and striking. It is now suggested in the New York Worlda?d in other journals, that should the present Emperor have to deal with a European ooalition formed against him, or should he And Prussia moro than a match, he -might startle Europe with the proclama? tion of a republic in Franco and iuvoko ihe power of the pcopie in every Euro? pean llingdonl. This is the card which Napoleon is thought to have in his hands. As for ourselves, wo do not think he could make anything out of a movo Uko that. Ho might call the spirits, but will they come? Wo think not. We agree with a Gorman sympathizer in the World, who suggests what wo havo al? ready thrown out, viz: That Prussia wants no Republic, but prefers a consti? tutional Empire. Nor do wo regard this writer wrong, when he suggests that France would find enough to do to esta? blish her own republic first aud consoli? date it, before she can go, with the chas sepots in the one baud and a model re? publican constitution in the other, to subjugate kingdoms and empires. The World, however, insists upon it that there is not much of constitutional free? dom to be gathered from Bismarck's and King William's rolo, aud contends that the condition of tho whole continent of Europe threatens a terrible popular con? vulsion. Tho World &o.ys: "Behind and beneath ull her armies, behiud and benoath all her throues, be? hind and beneath all her banks, too, and her parliaments, surges and mutters tho mighty seething discontent, the gather? ing wrath and rage, of the nnder-people -the highly unconstitutional, and, for tho most part, unseemly millions vho are preparing for Europe her third great revolution. The empire of Napoleon has stood for now nearly twenty years as the true break-water of this rising tide. It may erambie of itself; it maj- be cut through by tho 'princes' iu whom our correspondent puts bia child like trust. In either case, we fancy, the waves, once let loose, will approve themselves to be as little respecters of races as of persons." This may be so, but we do not seo the matter in this light. If Napoleon has no better card than "a republic pro? claimed," to play, he cannot save him? self-ho must lose the game. Not revolution must ho invoke, but rather let him organize his forces, appeal to Freuch valor aud patriotism, to brilliant generalship, and ho may emerge into the sun-light of victo'ry. All ho needs is success-all ho requires is victory nt the head of his army-and again will the word of Ciesar "stand before tho world," aud few will there be KO proud na not "to . do him reverence." The sudden illness of the Emperor, the recall of tho Prince Imperial, thc proclamation of tho French Ministry, the rapidly changing military Operations, the excitement in Paris, nil indicate thc terrible iutensity of thc combat and point to possibilities which may revolutionize tho whole political face of Europe. He's at odds are freely takcu that Napoleon will not occupy the Tuilleries at the cud of ninety days; and, leaving the enthu? siasm of interested .spectators out of thc account, the most prudent and reflective observers cannot fail to seo in the vio? lent action of current events signs the most alarming for tho Napoleonic dy? nasty. Tho unity of Germany, the pres? tige and ambition of Bismarck, ?iud the equivocal position of two or three of the lendiug powers, render tho Imperial si? tuation critical, to say tho least of it. Our telegraphic columus will bo watched every morning with nu expectancy hard? ly surpassed by that which followed thc course of our own war news. They may be expected at any moment to convoy tho most startling .intelligence. Thc death of tho Emperor, tho capture ol Puris, a revolution in Franco, anything, everything may bo looked for in tin present peculiar situation of affairs. All the indications point to a grand battle between thc Prussians aud French al Motz. It ia stated that Bazaine and Troober, of the FrenoU army, have been busily engaged organizing their forces, and at the last accounts, tho Prussians were advancing. The Emperor is still at tho front. The New York World, says: Tho re? spectivo commanders will bring into tho field on each side from two hundred and fifty to three hundred thousand fighting men; and if the Prussians will fight reso? lutely to keep the advantages and the prestige they havo won, we may bo sure the French will fight as resolutely to ro covor their lost ground, and to regild their eagles tarnished by tho scandalous surpriso and defeat of Woissenburg, fol? lowed by the desperate though hopeless battle of Werth. Thc New York World says, and we commend its language to our renders: "Tho oppresBivo domination under which the South suffers is a domination I from without, and there is no reasouablo hopo of redress except by relief from external tyranny. If tho South pos? sessed freedom of internal action, un? asked advico would indeed bo intrusivo aud impertinent. But that sectiou can bo rolieved from the incubus of Federal domination only by Democratic victo? ries iu tho North; and this is a valid apology for tho advico wo presume to offer. As tho South needs our aid, it must not spurn our frieudly counsel. "From 1800 dowu to tho presont timo, mauy leading minds in thc South have beeu nillictcd with political blindness. It was a supremo act of political folly to split thc Charleston Convention by the lamentable schism which brought two Democratic candidates-Donglas and Breckinridge-into the field against Lin? coln, and secured his first election. Thc Northern Democrats who abetted that schism were sycophants of tho South, not real friends. Prominent urnoucj them wero Ben. Butler, who promptly deserted to tho radicals; Daniel S. Dick? inson, who took oflico under Mr. Lin? coln; Caleb dishing, who has been thc paid counsel of successive radical admi? nistrations; and John A. Dix, tho sub missive tool of Lincoln and Seward, ir shuttiug up tho offices of Democratic newspapers. These are specimens. Thc supporters of Mr. Douglas, on the othei baud, pitched their professions of friend ship in a lower key, but have maiutainec them to the preseut hour. If Mr. Don glas had been elected, wo should have bad no civil war, aud tho South wouk have been exempt from its deplorable train of consequences. Tho wisdom ol Douglas consistedtin his correct appro ciatiou of the tone and temper of th) Northern poople. Ho saw that tin safety of tho South depended on s strong Northern alliance, and (hat sud aa alliance iras practicable only on a basi of moderation. What was truo iu 1800 i trebly truo now, when the North ha: still greater weight and preponderance whon the radicals control every depart meut of the Federal Government, and i large majority of the State Govern meuts. The South eau be relieved onb by Northern Democratic interveution and Northern Democrats maj* claim t< understand the public sentiment of thi sectiou butter than our i in prac ti bl Southern brethren. Unless they wil permit us lo act upon our better kuow ledge ot the situation, they must resigi themselves to the tender mercies of radi cal domination." Whereupon, the World ir xt advise the Southern people to cease oppositioi to negro suffrage. It would bu well fo the impracticables aud tho irreconcilable of the South to \my some heed to thes words. We have advisers amongst U? who, upon the ground that the South cn the negro questiou ought not to surren der opposition to negro suffrage, ar advocating opposition to the reioru movement, anil yet wu have uudoubtei evidence of the fact that even the North eru Democracy deem it wiso and sensi ble for the South to accept said suffrage These men who thus stand out ia form? opposition to au accomplished fact, ur simply behind the times, and wo deem i fortunato that their counsel, howevc honest it may be, is ignored. --.-??.?

FBENCH AIMS.-A correspondent ci the New York World thus suggests tho ide?os under lying Prussian and French programmes: The actual political condition of both France and Prussia is the partial reali? zation of schemes that, like the famous Peter the Qreat policy of Russia, aro traditional. United Germany has been tho dream of Gormans since Maria The? resa and the Groat Frederic fought for supremacy. The contention was whother it should be Protestant or Catholic. Tho Prussia of to-day has swept away for? ever thc tradition of the Holy Roman Empire. And it was reserved* for Bis? marck to dem?nstrate tho impossibility of a voluntary federatiou of iudepoudeut petty sovereigns, and tho practicability of a welding of these severul minor powers rouucl the solid coro of one great State, which should give solidity and cohesiou to the muss. The political ten? dency of thc Teutonic mind is to per? sonal loyalty. Tho feudal sentiment which by the ferment aud chango of nearly a century bas beeu obliterated in the French nation, is still tho prevailing idea in Gcrmauy. Success always justi? fies enterprise with tho majority ol' man? kind; but this common acceptance of the fail accompli is not tho ouly motivo for Gorman admiration of Prussia. Sho has realized iu German fashion the pre? conception of German grandeur; her ad? herents and supporters being the great masses of the Germau-speakiug tribes; the dissidents hoing thosovcreigu princes aud powers whoso characters or person? alities were of no waight with their countrymen. The French ou their part, whatever their iuternal convulsions, havo always retained under every form of government tho idea of a great empire with natural bon?daries-the Alps, thc Pyrenees, tho Ocean, aud thu Rhino. This, whether in the days of Francis, ?j Richelieu, Louis XIV, the Republic, ol the Empire, has been the French idea. Geographically, it is reasonable; ethni? cally, the only obstucle is tho Ubeno German provinces. The first Napoleon himself even favored the idea of Ger man unity, ami mediatized a great norn ber of petty powers which split up G^r many like tho squares of a chess-board, without its equality or regularity. Bul be also would have maintained the Rhine bouudar}' had uot his own towering am bitiou and tho forco of circumstance: been too powerful. Nice and Savoy wero nnuexed te Frauce at thc close of the* Il alian war So much was gaiueel towards the drean of a compact, geographically defiuec France. Belgium to the West, with it.1 ports on tho North Sea, auel thu Reuisl proviuces ou the North will perfect th? circumscription, auel tho accomplish meut of thu scbemo will complete th? vowed purposoof Louis Napoleon's life tho teariug to pieces o? tho treaty o lSl?. The Luxembourg business wai but an offshoot of this great design This is tho French map of Europe Whoever can lay it out auel maintain i will bo tho Freucbmau for tho French. Our owu Hudson River has beeu callee the American Rhine, and there are sonn points of sceuic etlect to justify the com parison. The Rhino, from Rotterelan to Cologne, runs through a fiat country From this poiut to tho junction of tbi Moselle there begins a succcpsioi of landscapes of wonderful beau ty and variety-hill and elale, nu di tinting slopes auel rich plats. Fron Cobleutz to Maxau the Rhino ile scribesau irregular shallow curvo. Strik another curvo between those two points about forty niles wide at its broudes part; and the urea enclosed is a tolera ble resemblance to the Rheno-Germai provinces, or, as it is now called, Rhena Prussia. This is the territory for wilie! France lemgs. From Baslo to Carlsruh the Rhine is already a French froutic liue. Thence to Cleves, it is German 01 both sides. Tho secret treuty is too wei authenticated a fact to be passed over a a myth, the offspring of a bid for pnbli opiuiou. To whomsoever its inceptioi be attributable, it seems sure that th ole! French hankeriug for Belgium-one a Spanish province, then Austrian, the: French, then part of Holland, anil sine 1830 independent-is alive anti active Without Belgium, indeed, tho Rhin provinces, ii assigned to France, wonl be militarily untenable, running as the, do in a wenige shape between trans R'lenal Prussia aud Belgium. When tb first Napoleon fought unitod Europe b carried the war into the enemies' conn try. lie passed the Rhine at severn points, simultaneously seized Ulm o tho East, burst like a thunderbolt o llanover on the North, ?mil by tho ccu tro pierced Hesse-Cassel and tb J Palati nate. Jena Opened the way to Berlin As tho groat campaigns for thc world' mastery have beeu almost always fongh over the same battle-fields and on th same general plan of action, it bas bee matter of some surprise that Napolco lil nus not already imitated his grcii predecessor, and also the great general ol' Louis XIV, and, passing tho Rbini light tho enemy on his own ground. PJSAVEK jon PitussiA.-Tho Nen Preussische Kreuz-Zeil ung contains th following proclamation of the King e: Prussia in ref ct euee lo tho day sci upai for prayer: "1 am compelled to draw the sword i consequence of a wanton attack whie must bo warded off with all thc strengt at the command of Gcrmauy. It is great consolation to me, before God an man, that I have not in an}' way give occasion for thc onslaught. My coi: science is clear as to the origin of tbi war, and I am confident before Goel t (he justice of our cause. Tho conflict i earnest, anet it will entail heavy suer fices on my people, and on Germany ?1 large. But I depart for war, looking u to an all-knowing God, aud appealing t His all-powerful help. Already I hav accasion to thank Goil that, at tho firs whisper of war, all German hearts wer miniated by ouo feeling-a feeling c indignation at thc attack, and of gla trustfulness that God would grant vi? tory to the rightful cause. My people in this conflict will stand by me as it stood by my father-who now rests in God. With me they will make any sacrifice to rostore peace to tho nations. From my youth I have learnt to confide in the omnipotence of God's gracious help. In Him I hopo, and I call on my gooplo to have thc liko confidence in [im. I bow before God iu acknow? ledgment of His mercy, and I am con? vinced that my subjects aud my country? men will do likewise. For this reoson I appoint Wednesday, thc 27th of July, bo kept as an extraordinary general day of prayer, when divino service shall be celebrated iu tho churches, aud public business shall bc suspended iu so far as the pressing ueccssity of the times shall permit. 1 also appoint that, dnriug the continuance of the war, iu every public divine service, prayers shall bo offered up that God may lead us to victory, that He may moko us merciful eveu to our enemies, and that He may graciously conduct us to a peace that will secure tho bouor and tho lasting independence of Germany. WILLIAM." 1'KULIN, July 21, lbTO. NAPOLEON AND KINO WILLIAM.-Thu Herald soys: The condition of France os compared with tho conditiou of Germauy ut the present time is bad. France trembles. Germany is full of coufideucc. Tho morale of thu struggle is all against France. It was Napoleon who began the war, aud the pretext fur war, accord? ing to the common sense of mankind, was contemptible. Napoleon talked big; King Willina was calm, dignified aud willing to abide tho issue. Napoleon was theatrical and talked of Louis and bis first baptism of fire. The boy prince, aller bis baptism, is hurried back to bis mother. How much grauder the con? duct of Kiug William! He waits until ho has a right to speak. Compare the "baptism of Aro" with the words, "a great victory has been won by our Fritz. God be praised for His mercy." The former is modern charlatanism. The latter has tho fiue ring of the good old limes, wbeu men bad faith iu the God of battles. Napoleon may yet turn the title of victory, aud ?ave Franco and his dynasty. But if he does not w iu a groat battle before Monday first, which is his /cte day, tho house of Bonaparte is doomed. According to all appearances, Napoleon's last blunder has been his greatest.

The paragraph re? ferred to was fouud floating nrouud dif? ferent exchaugos; and its publication was not intended to injure tho parties: To THE EDITOR or THE PHOENIX: lu this morning's issue of your paper, there appears an item, evidently copied from souio of your exchanges, bended "Bad Boy," in which great injustice is clone Mr. Washington Nathan, in connection with tho lamentable murder of his father in New York, which is engrossing so much of publie attcution. As a friend of the family, and having known inti? mately tho sous ol' Mr. Nutbuu from their boyhood, I desire, through your valua? ble columns, to refute tho statement that tho young mon of that family havo ever been, in uuy way, considered either fast or extravagant, but were looked upon us model members of the first society of New York, in which they moved. The statement of Washington Nathan having been arraigned in a police court, ou a charge of stealing, bas been denied by Superintendent Jourdou, of tho New York police, but was written with mali? cious intent, by a reporter of a sensa? tional paper, who was refused admittance to the house. The family of Mr. Nathan huvo been sufficiently overwhelmed with grief, without any such false reports in rogart! to the young men, being circulated, which aro calculated to blast their future life. Any one knowing them personally, could uot bo unaware of tho love auel respect entertained by them for their father, and would find it an impossibili? ty, in their minds to conueet them, in any woy, witii the foul deed.

KEW BOOK.-"The War between tl Stales, its Causes, Character, Conduct an Rtsidts," by Hon. Alexander H.

Five years have elapse since the close of the bloodiest aud mos gigantic war kuowu to modern histor and in that interval mcu have had n opportunity of thinking over thc even which passed before them in such quic succession that reflection was impossible and as a natural consequence, each se tion has manifested a great desire to hei what tho other has lo say of its motivi and conduct in tho great struggle. Tb has led to tho production of unmerot histories and narratives on tho Northei side, but until recently no authentic ( really meritorious history had appeau on the sido of the South. The denian for such a work was keenly felt, an there was a very general feeling of sati faction experienced throughout tl country, when, three years ago, it wi announced that the Hon. A. II. Stephen the vice-President of the lato Southei Confederacy, was about to issueahistoi of "77/tf War Del ween (he Stales." Tl promise then made is now fulfilled in tl second and concluding volumo of h great history, which lies before us.

Tl indomitable energy which, in the mu! of failing health, he brought to t preparation of this work, was remark hie, and has resulted in thc productif of tho best history of the war, we ha yet seen, and tho only Southern hislo of real merit that has yet appeared.
