Batter. 1 If the highest worth and best talents of the State are not represented iq tho Uui ted States Senate, the responsi? bility does hot rest upon tho legislative minority. We thank the minority for that, . kt ,Uio same time, it is duo to truth to stat?; that had the minority been O&lled upon to moke a choice between the radical candidates, they would, we have learned,, very generally have voted for Senator Bobertson, as the least ob? jectionable man-a circumstance which should have its effect upon Senator Bo bertson'a mind, when bo ro-onters upon th?, discharge bf bis Senatorial duties. "?'. ~-;.. i i&Zi* Corlyle on tb? Pnincu-Pnmslnu War. The London Times contains a letter from the ..eccentric thinker and writer eccentric and yet concenlri?-- Tn om as Car? lyle. It bas been well called "au episto? lary peal of thunder*'-{'a fiery denun? ciation of France." tn this ietter, Carlyle expresses his hopes for Germany and his faith in her. At the same time, he bears down upon poor France like a grim monster, and devours her fame and her name with a hungry spirit of wrath. Ha sneers at the Freuoh com? plaint of threatened "loss of honor," and tells France that her honor can bo saved only by her "deep repentance." She must determino "never to do so again"--having in the past deeply sinned-and in that way, says the sage, "may the honor of France again grad? ually brighten to the height of its old splendor." For tho present, Carlyle paints Franco in no attractive colors. He thus pours' out the vials of his bot? tled wrath upon Franco: "Far the present, I must say, Franco looks, mote and more delirious, misera? ble, blamable, pitiable, and even con? temptible; She ref uses to soo the facts that arc lying palpable before her face, and tho penalties abo han brought upon herself. A France scattered into anarch? ic, ruin, without recognizable head; head cr chief, indistinguishable from feet, or rabble; ministers flying np in balloons ballasted with nothing but outrageous public lies; proclamations of victories that were creatures of the fancy; a go? vernment subsisting altogether on men? dacity, willing that horrid bloodshed should continue and increase, rutber than that they, beautiful Republican creatures, should cease to have the gui? dance of it; I know not when or where there was seen a nation so covering itself with dishonor. If, among this multi? tude of sympathetic bystanders, France have any true friend, his advice to France would bj-to abandon all that, and never to resume it more. France really ought to know that 'refuges ol lies' were loug ogo discovered to lead down ouly to tho gates of death eternal, and to be forbidden to all creatures that the only hope for France is tc recognize the facts which have como tc her; and that they carno withal by invi? tation of her owu; how sho-a mass ol gilded, proudly varnished anarchy-has wilfully insulted aud defied to morta duel a neighbor uot auarchic, but still in a qnietly human, oobor, und governed state, and has prospored accordingly. Prospered as an array of sanguinarj mountebanks versus a Macedonian pha? lanx must needs do; and now lies smit? ten down into hideous wreck and impo? tence, testifying to gods and men whul extent of rottenness, anarchy, and hidden vileness lay in her. That the inexorable foot is, sho has left herself without re? source or power of resisting the victori ous Germans; and that her wisdom will be to take that fact into her astonishes mind; to know that, howsoever hateful, said fact is inexorable, and will have tc be io?mplied with, the sooner at tin cheaper rate. It is a bard lesson to vain glorious France; but Franco, wo hope has still in it veracity and probity . enough to accept fact us au evidently adamantino entity, which will uot brool resistance without penalty, aud is un alterablo by tho very gods." In her groat revolution Mr. Carlyle admits that Franco commenced a grea work. He says: "Alas! ono does uuderstaud thu Franoo made her great revolution uttered her tremendous doom's voici against a world of human shams, pro claiming, as with the last trumpet, tba shams should be no more. I often cal that a celestial-infernal phenomenon the most memorable in our world for thousand years; ou the whole a trans cendent revolt against tho devil and hi works, (since shams aro all and sundry o the devi!, and poisonous and unendura hie to man.) Forthat wo all infinitely lov and honor France. And truly till nation are now busy ouongh copying France i regard to that! From sido tosido o? tb civilized world there is, in a mannet nothing noticeable but the whole worl in deep and dismally chaotic insurreotio against ' shams, determination to hav done with shams co?te qu'il coule. It dispensable that battle, however ugbj Well done, we may say to all that; for : is the preliminary to everything; bu alas, all that ia bot yet victory; it i . bat half the battle, and the much cab-it half."

The first half of tho battle, I rejoice, to see, is now Bafe, pan now never cease except in victory ; but the further stage of it, I also see, must be under better presidency than that of France, or it will forever prove j m possible. The German raoo, not the Gaelic, uro now to be protagonist in that immense world-drama; and from them I expect better issues. Worse wo cannot ?well have. France, with a dead-lift ?effort, now of eighty-one years, has ac? complished under this bead, for herself ?or for tho world, nothing, or oven less lin strict arithmetic, zero with minus ?quantities. Her prophets prophesy a jvain thing; her people rove in darkness jnnd have wandered far astray." In closing his lotter, Mr. Carlyle thus igivos "tho hopofullcst publio fact" that 'has occured in his time. He says: "That noble, patient, deep, pious and solid' Germany Bhould be at length welded into n nation aud become Queen 'of tho Continent, instead of vaporing, vain-?Io>ibhs, gesticulating, quarrel j some, restless and over-sensitive France, seems to me the hopefullest public fact that has occurred in my time." But the main point of Carlyle's letter is to establish tho proposition that Ger? many has a right to tear Alsace and Lor? raine from France. To prove this, ho gives us an historical review of 400 years. Cui bono? "We live in the present." The earth belongs under God to the liv? ing, as a ootemporary suggests. Tbe people of Alsace and Lorraine are thc persons to decide their own destinies. The question is not for Germany to de side. It is for thc people of tho pro? vinces in question to settle their own dostinies. As the New York World well says: "Americans who have "rushed Niagara" and are safe in tho pool of De? mocracy below, havo what Curlyle would regard as tho insane idea that the peoph of Alsace and Lorraine belong to them? selves; that they are not stolen property, to he bandied about between contending owners, but men entitled to a voico ir their own destiny. The land is theirs the cities, villages, dwellings, imple ments, are theirs; their bodies and Bonh? ara their own, in spite of anything thal Mr. Carlyle can dig out of the niouldj records of men who have slept centuriei in their graves. Their rights and hap pincas ought to be regarded as well ai the interest and ambition of Prussia." It is thus that we would dispose of th( practical point made in Carlyle's stormy and wrathful diatribe against Franco. As for Prussia, we a?jpreciate her great virtues. But Franco has her rights Whatever errors Franco may have com mittcd-whatever her short-comings ma] be-yet the Frenchman is entitled t( France. Tho French are now fightinj for their country. That country is in vaded and ravaged. Our sympathie! aro with men fighting on their nu ti vi soil for their native land. We hope i may ho well for them until the invade has been pressed beyond the borders o France, and she is left free to control he: own dostinies. And were we a French man now in France, we should deem i our duty to fight on. Nor do wo thiul that tho Frenchman has yet come noa to his Appomattox. ? ? ? ? DIXIE AT TUE CAPITAL-RADICAL DES PERATlOK.-Tho correspondent of th? Baltimore Gazette, writing from Wash iugeou under date of December 1, ba: the following: It is hard to imagino tho extreme tc which the Radical leaders will go in thei desperation. They excite negroes t< murder nnoffendiug white citizens; thej control the judiciary by placing it undo military surveillance; to protect the dupe: of their Union Longues and other secre organizations, the military power is in volted to control elections, and hero, ii Washington, thoy would exercise a con sorship over places of amusement, ant allow only such pieces or.such tunes t( he played ns meet tho approbation o tho powers that be. Tho orgnu, thi morning, uo doubt by authority, pub lishes tho following pronunciameuto which I give to show tho audacity o Radical recklessness. It reads thus: "Ono of the troupo, who perform upou what is called a "tunibleroninon,1 and from which ho gives really swee music, has for the last three nights pam pored to tho tastes of the rebel spiri existing in Washington, and playee 'Dixie.' This air, which beoame th national hymn of the C. S. A., is rc ccived with uproarious applause in th capital of the nation. Where moro thai two-thirds of tho people receivo thei support from tho Government, 'Dixie is an insult. If, during tho war, au performer had dared to sing or pla 'Dixie' in a theatre of this city, h would have been hurled from tho stag by tho loyal soldiers present. Wc pub licly request that this rebel air bo herc after omitted from thc programmo at on theatres." Of course tho managers will choy th order thus issued, for should they refuse theGovernment, with tho military, inigh compel obedience. The allusion to th timo when no ono "dared to sing or pla Dixie" is very happy, and it is also sue geativo. A time may como when no pt per or party will dare insult the peo pl of this Republic with such menaceB. SEKAT.R ? WistfN??b?y, Djw?sasB 7,1870. f& :?

DECENTRALIZATION IS THE WATCH? WORD.-The Patriot, anew Democratic organ just 6ot in operation at Washing? ton, says: But let tho policy of tho future be that of decentralization. In tho words, earnestly and fitly spoken lately, of ono who, bred an Old Lino National Whig, is now a Democrat, "Let UB shun, ns wo would tho 'pestilen? tial vapors of a fault,' tho leaden atmos? phere of a strong government. It bears hard upon industry and enterprise, and when you reach tho bottom, with tho weight of taxation from above und tho ceaseless tread of a standing army at the bnse, there is no out-look, no escape for thc laboring mass. Tho American peo? ple were not mado to breathe such air." Wo hopo so with all our heart. Let tho future of Democratic legislation provo it and develop it. In Muskiugum County, Ohio, a man named Button had been out coon hunt? ing, aud, after returning homo and re? tiring, dreamed iu his uneasy slumber that he had caught tho coon and struck it against a tree, killing it. Ho was awakened by the frantic soreamB of his wifo, and to his horror found that he had pioked up his little infant daughter and dashed her against a bed-post, killing her instantly. r Tho How York World than gives its yfoft?. of Carlyle as a writer: ??All who speak tho'Engiiah tonjaae aro ready to devour any fresh exhibition ?'f his phantasmiworio intellect. Afaitb nl painting of r> catamount ?nd a. wolf done by ever so* skillful an .artist, is a dull pioture compared with their images on a transparent Blide, projected cpon a I wall by a powerful magic-lantern. We look at the huge images not for instruc? tion, but entertainment. It is tho mag? nitude, the coloring, the strangeness im? parted to thom by tho optical apparatus, that make them noticeable. A laud sur? veyor, whoso object is truth, would not choose to look at hills and dales through a prism or a colored glass; but seekers of amusement love to turn their eyes from tho landscape as it lies in simple day? light to the brilliant distortions and co? loring thrown upon it by curious optical I appliances. It is not in Carlyle's nature I to shed upon any object what Lord La? con called the "dry light' of tho intel? lect. Whatever interests him sets his mind into a tumultuous whirl. The lashing of tho waters stirs up so much sediment that tho waves loso all trnus ! parency in their tossing, tumbling mag? nificence. None of us read Carlylo for what wo learn from him. The pleasure Lhe gives us is liko that of being at sea gfeeu mighty waves heave beneath the ?pTp. They exhilarate us with a eeuse of nlieir power, whilo they drift hither and kb it her without auy progress towards tho T?ud of our voyage. "Mr. Carlyle's admirers will rejoice to find how little, iu his old age, his won? derful powers of convulsive rhetoric are abated. He is oue of the most astonish? ing masters of tho English language that ever wroto it. No elephant, hugest of creatures, ever succeeded in performing so many of tho gambols of a monkey. No writer ever combined such massive exhibitions of elephantine strength with so much monkey-like agility and gri? mace. So much power was never beforo united with so much caprice. It isas if the ribald soul of Thersites had found expression through the poetic rage of Pindar. He has something of the jerky, jagged abruptness of a muguificd George Francis Train, united with the declama? tory splendor of Chatham, aud the know? ledge of Burke, with a humor as grim as Swift's and grotesque as that of Rabe? lais. A most surprising intellectual phe? nomenon ; a dumb-fun nd inp; comet, whose glaro astonishes thc nations, becuuse it is so different from tho steady lustre of the stars. It moves in no regular orbit, and conforms to none of tho settled har? monies of the solar system. Not a pole? star to guido tho navigator, but never? theless a magnificent accession to the scenery of the firmament. SAD DEATH FROM KEROSENE. -Sunday afternoon, little Mary, daughter of Mrs. Hanley, who resides on the corner of Joachim and Fahrn streets, met a sad fate under circumstances most painful. It appears that about 1 o'clock she ex? perienced some difficulty in making the fire in tho kitchen bnru to her satisfac? tion, and being somewhat discouraged, concluded to pour kerosene on tho wood. No sooner had the finid roached the fire, (being poured from a half-gallon can I which had been filled only tho day be? fore,) when nu explosion took place. She was leaning over the firo ut tho time, and the burning finid reached her face and breast-tearing her eyes from their sockets and burning her body in a most awful manner. Medical, attendance was summoned, but the physician pronounced the case beyond his control. Tho little girl bore her pains with remarkable for? titude, until half-past -i p. m., when death put an cud to her sufferings. [Savannah Republican. The East River bridgo at New York has met with another serious "sot back." The mammoth ?ab ?On, which is sub? merged beneath the river bed at tho foot of Fulton street, took fire on Wednes? day night, from a lighted caudle in the hands of a careless workman, nud in tho course of a little whilo tho flames had extended through three separate cham? bers. Tho conflagration was not finally extinguished until 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon. A number of laborers were in tho vault at the time, but they all managed to mako good their escape. Tho caisson would seem to bo so badly damaged that it will probably havo to bo taken up and replaced by n new one. Asido from the pecuniary loss, the occur? rence will prove a public calamity, de? laying, as it will, a work which at best will require years to complote ANOTHER NATIONAL TROUBLE AHEAD. In his late manifesto, Wendell Phillips says: "Within ten or fifteen years this Government is to be tested as it never has been, except by tho slave power. Associated wealth-tho selfish union of wealthy corporations-is to do its utmost to undermine or strangle popular liberty." Death has again invaded this commu? nity, and taken hence two "mothers iu Israel." Tho grave had just closed o vor tho remains of Mrs. S. A. Thompson, relict of Dr. J. R.

Tho new Broadway Underground Rail? way in New York city is said to be a success. A portion has been completed and put into operatiou. The bed of the ruilway is twenty-one feet below the sur? face of Broadway, and tho diameter of the tunnel nine feet. The passenger oar is about the same size as the ordinary street cars. Tho car is run by telegraph ; the wheels, at certain points on the route, press a telegraph key, sonding a signal to the ongiueer, who turns a valve, and this reverses the air current, without stoppage of the machinery. The ceolor, or blowing machine, by which the air current is produced, consists of a pair of great wings, geared together and turned by steam. It is capable of discharging loi i, Dui) cubic feet of air per minute. The gcuoral plan of the company is to lay a double line of tubes from the South Ferry, under Broadway, the entire length of tho island, with a branch at Union square, under Fourth avenue to Harlem River. Such a road would have a capa? city for carrying 40,000 passengers per hour. The rate of speed is to be thirty miles per hour. A LONDON FOG.-On Lord Mayor's Day, the 0th of November, (a day de? voted to fun, frolic, and au exceeding fantastic procession there,) they enjoyed a fog so intensely thick that it surpassed all precedent, and that is saying a great deal. A fog in Loudon is of n dense gamboge color, and uttorly defies all vision for moro than two or three feet around you, compelling all the shop? keepers to light up brilliantly, as if it woro night, und rendering every epeoies of locomation tedious and dangerous. A London fog is a curious [spectacle to a stranger, and is almost worth crossing the Atlantic to witness. It is the droll? est of all droll things to realize suoh a profound and mysterious darkness by daylight; for it has none of the sombre? ness of shadow we experience during an eclipse, and between its yellowish, smoky hue and its moisture it presents in tho lighted-up streets an amusing, yet wierdi liko picture which, once seen, is never after to bo forgotten, especially by an American.
