.; ;A FBBNOH EAIPIRK.-The Frenoh peo?
ple will never be happy without an em?
pire. They are used to it, and they,
can't get ; along, comfortably without it.
In a republic they are like a herd of mad
bulls confined within ? glass house.
With them the empire, is tranquility, if
not happiness, whilo a republio is per?
petual disquietude and agitation. They
need and must have a form of govern?
ment that will keep them out of politics,
a field in which they are capable of shin?
ing only as the architects of ruin. It is
believed that Louis Napoleon hos aban?
doned all hope of again becoming their
chiof ruler, but it is said that ho confi?
dently bolioves that his son will ultimate?
ly ascend the imperial throue. Touch?
ing this subject, a late London letter
says:
..There was.one thing which tho Em?
peror bad reason to dread, and that was
an early appeal to universal suffrage. He
claims to h nv o derived his sovereignty
from the nation; und again and again he
has admitted that the same power which
made can also unmake hie title. So
long, thorefore/as the election of a per?
manent government is delayed, so long
"will the Bonapartiats have time to in?
trigue for a restoration. The Emperor's
.friends are aotive; bat they exhibit more
discretion than they did when they took
to pamphleteering aud to issuing mani?
festoes which invited sharp criticism,
.especially as the events to whioh they
referred were painfully fresh in the pub?
lic recollection. In their case the Gor?
man maxim-'a i lon co is golden'-holds
striotly trae."
WOMEN ABE NOT BUINEBS.-Tho Troy
Times refuses to believe that women aro
at the bottom of most of tho ruin
brought upon men and nations, and
adds: "By the side of each one of those
"ruined* men, history, by its silence at
least, plac?s millions of men who have
not been rained by women, and hun?
dreds on hundreds who have been sus?
tained and supported by good women,
and unwritten and unwriteable history
might show thouBauds on thousands
more.".
A convention of the tax-payers of
Florida, lately in session at Lake City,
havo issued an address to their fellow
citizens, "without r?f?ren?a to their
party connections," ih whioh they set
forth that the amount to be collected in
taxes the current year is nearly $1,000,.
OOO, equal to one-elevoath of the total
personal property valuation of tho State.
That "from their kuowledgo of the con?
ation of the producing interests, the
delegates assembled give it as their de?
liberate opinion, that after deducting tho
aotuu.1 cost of production, thora will not
remain in the hands of producers a suffi?
cient amount to pay the taxes upon their
property." The address goes on to ex?
plain tho methods by which the people
are plundered, and.reforms whioh are
needed, showing the neoessity of a gene
ral redaction of taxation, oxaept the
school tax. "This tax," they Bay,
"should be retained at suoh a rate, con?
sistant with the resources of the people,
as' wilt suffice for general ?ducation."
The tax collections for sixteen years are
given. For 1860, the amount was $117,
?03.85.
? great deal of interest is felt to know
what sort of an island New Caledonia is,
where many ; thousands of Communist
prisoners from Paris are likely to bo sent.
New Caledonia is a tropical island in the
mid Pacific, about 220 miles long by
thirty broad, with a mountainous surface,
rising to 8,000 feet in the centre. Its
native population were Kanakas, a mild
people, bat fond oi eating their enemies
-when friends were sooroe. They have,
however, mostly disappeared, carried off
by consumption. The chief settlements
Noumea, with no stream of fresh water
nearer than eight miles. This island
will be a fearful banishment for the.
Paris born.
THE NOBLE SAVAGE IN A NEW ?SPEOT. -
We cannot but admire the pluok and in?
telligence with whioh the Osage Indians
near Fort Smith, Arkansas, have lately
turned the tables on the overbearing
white settlers of that region. The proud
Caucasians, missing their horses, natu?
rally turn upon the aborigines as the
likely thieves. The Osages deny the
coft impeachment, and offer to assist in
hunting for the lost property, designat?
ing their own camp as the first place to
be examined. To this the Caucasiana
demur, and insist upon taking enough
animals from the Osage party to make
good their loss. The Osages resist, take
seven of the white men prisoners and
deliver them over to the United States
Marshal, charged -leith larceny and as?
sault. This may be aptly called a tri?
umph of civilization, and it shows the
noble red man in the character of a
friend to law and order.
Tho English road locomotive, on exhi?
bition nt the Now Jersey State Fair, is
surrounded always by a crowd. This
steamer, on Monday, was attached to one
.of Howes & Phillips' heaviest drays,
loaded with 10,000 pounds of pig iron,
and whioh it drew with ease all over the
grounds.
Cotton?
MB. EDITOB: Sunshine is again upon
us, and to ranke ap for lost time the
planters will push ahead" picking cotton
more energetically than ever. Many of
them are rushing their bales to market,
and in the' face of facts tho prioe is cul?
minating towards the wrong end of the
purse. I have roliablo data from privato
sources from a great many pointu
throughout the West and. South-west,
and from moro than half theXountics in
this State, concerning the cotton crop,
and I have not reooived a letter but that
says "we will soarooly make half a crop
of cotton."
Newspaper accounts corroborate these
views; and with groat certainty wo can
all say the crop will be very short.
Should not the price be comparatively
high? If it is not, our planters aro to
blame, and should now-once at least
hold on to their cotton, and command a
remunerative prioe, rather than glut the
market and throw the advantage into
the hands of speculators.
Whether we hold or not, cotton next
March will bo twenty-five oeuts per
pound. A PLANTEE.
EDITOR DAILY UNION-SIR: lu yester?

the Auditor's office are in a bad fix, or
words to that effect. I can only say,
that if Mr. Tomlinson does not reply to
that iosiuaatiou, I will. There is not an
entry made but I can explain (to the
date I left the office) to tho satisfaction
of any disinterested parties. Major
Deane ought to be able to explain why

Late Chief Clerk.
CONDENSED HISTORY OP STEAM.
About 280 years 13. C., Hiero, of Alex?
andria, formed a toy, which exhibited
some of the powers of steam, and was
moved by its power.
A. D. 450, Anthemius, an architoot,
arranged Bovoral caldrons of water, each
covered with tho wide bottom of a lea?
ther tubo, whioh rose to a narrow top,
with pipes extonded to the rafters of
the adjoining building. A fire was
kindled beneath tho oaldrons, aud the
house WOB shaken by efforts of the steam
ascending tho tubeB. This is tho first
notice of the power of steam recorded.
In 1543, June 17, Blasco D. Garoy
tried a steamboat with tolerable success
at Barcelona, Spain. It consisted of a
caldron of boiling water, and a mova?
ble whoel on each side of tho ship. It
was laid asido as impracticable. A pre?
sent, however, was made to Garoy.
In 1650, the first railroad was con?
structed at Newcastle on-Tyne.
The first idea of a steam engine in
England was in the famous Marquis of
Worcester's "History of Inventions," A.
D. 1663.
In 1710,. Newcomen made the first
steam engine iu England.
In 1718, patents wore granted to Sa?
vory for tho first application of the steam
engine.
In 1674, JameB Watt mado tho first
perfeot steam engine ia England.
In 1736, Jonathan Hulls sot forth the
idea of Bteam navigation.
In 1778, Thomas Paine first proposed
this application ia America.
In 1781, Marquis Jouffroy count meted
one in Saono.
In 1785, two Americana published a
work on it.
In 1779, William Tymington made a
voyage in ono on tho Forth and Clyde
Canal.
In 1802, this experiment was repeated.
In 1782, Bamsey propelled a boat by
steam tb New York.
In 1788, John Fitch, of Philadelphia,
navigated a boat by a steam engine on
the Delaware*
In 1793, Bobert Fulton first began to
apply his attention to steam.
Ia 1793, Oliver Evans, a native of
Philadelphia, constructed a locomotive
steam engine to travel ou a turn-pike
road.
The first steam vessel that crossed the
Atlantic was tho Savannah, io tho mouth
of June, 1819, from Charleston to Liver?
pool.-Philadelphia Commercial Lisi and
Price Current.
A correspondent, writing from Vienna,
says that since the misfortunes of Paris,
Vienna has become the queen city of the
continent. This winter is prognosticated
as a grand season, and the finest music in
the world, already discoursing at the
opera and in the gardens, will be imper?
sonated later by the best artists in
Europe. Building is going forward
rapidly; immense structures, with im?
posing facades, embellished with colos?
sal statuary, are filling up the blank
plaoes along the 'Tings;" grand squares
aro being projected, and b?tela multiply
day by day. Vienna is thus ripening
and maturing into what may yet be the
grandest capital in the world.
THE HEALTH OP THE CITY.-Tho cold
snap, on Wednesday and Thursday, has
provod more disastrous to the sick than
we had expected, as is shown by the
number of deaths reported this morning.
City Registrar Lobby reports the reoeipt
of eight certificates of death from yellow
fever during the twenty-four boura end?
ing at noon yesterday, viz: Joseph Car?
ter, James O. Starr, W. J. Middleton,
James Lombardo and William Hey ward,
who died on Wednesday, the 20th; and
J. D. Hope, E. P. Starr and J. Strauss,
who died on Thursday, the 21st.
[Charleston News, 23rf.
A Springfield, Massachusetts, paper
tells of a woman in that oity who does
washing for two cents a "piece," and de?
rives an average iuoome therefrom of
$120 a month. Last month she washed
0,952 pieoes, and received $139.14. Her
husband meanwhile toils on fur $12 per
week, less than one-half what sho earns.
Wo And mea in every.walk in life mis?
taking a passion for prominence, for n
desire for eminence.. No eminence is
possible ezoept we snbjeot that passion
for prominence whioh osases as to over?
look tho very steps by whioh emiaenoe is
gained. Thu passion for promiaenoe
leaves as open to the sting of unsatisfied
vanities; the desire for eminence makes
us calm in Booming defeat. The passion
for prominenoo makes ns moro anxious
to Ht and well in the estimation of others;
the desiro for ominencq makes us ohieily
anxious to staud well iu our own.

with tho ISth instant. Israelites conse?
crate tho interval by acts of penitence,
all required by the Word of God-among
which wo find public confession. The
observance of this festival is of para?
mount importance, aa it was enjoined by
Jehovah himself: "This is unto yon a
statute forever to your generations, in
all your settlements."-Leviticus xxxiii:
31. So that, to the truo intent and
meaning of theso words, the command?
ment remains in force at all timen, ia all
places, aud nuder all circumstances, nud
wero not intended to pass away and to
bo replaced by now dispensations. From
sun-sot on tho Otb Tishri, israelites aro
absorbed by solemn meditation, aided
by prayer, which, beginning nt sun-set,
continue? during thc whole of tho tenth
day, aud by fasting-tho rigid character
of which, by mortifying tho flesh, ren?
dors tho spirit free inward and holy
they recall to mind all tho errors they
may have committed, all tho sins of
whioh they havo been guilty. They
dwell particularly on oaths sworn bat
not redeemed, promises not kept, obli?
gations broken, vows not fulfilled; and,
having enumerated them, they prepare
for tho solemnity whicb is to cleanse
them of all these transgressions. The
next day, at sun-rise, they enter the
place of worship, clothed in white, BO
that tho purity and simplicity of their
garments seem to indicato the candor
and holinoBs which thenceforth is to
dwell in their hearts. Then they all
join with load voice in a general confes?
sion of their misdeeds, repeating tho ri?
tual formerly used by tho high priest in
tho tomple at Jerusalem. Aooordingly,
this day, because of its being altogetber
consecrated to the regeneration of man,
is called in Scriptare "Sabbath Sabba
than"-Heat of Best; and, in foot, when
man thus rocovers a Btate of candor and
purity, he becomes tho image of perfect
calmness. It was on this same sacred
day tho high priest entered thesanotum
sanctorum, and there pronounced the
ineffable name of Doity, glorious and
awful, ut tho sound of which tho hearers
fell on their knees, their faces touching
tho ground, not daring to gaze on tho
Shekinah from tho mercy soat betwoen
* tho extended wings of tho cherubim.
I Whether this day is considered from a
moral or religious point of view, or from
its great autiquitv, it deserves tho re?
spect of tho Gentile and tho veneration
of A JEW.
