news was received of the driving of the laat

to the Mayor, and In a few minutes the belle
in Independence Ilall and the various fire station*
were rung, drawing crowds into the
streets undor tho impression that a general
alarm of fire was being rung. The people soon
ascertained the reason ofWie ringing ol the
bells, and flags were immediately displayed
everywhere. A large number of steam fire
engines ranged In front of Independence Hall
with acrcamiug whistles and hose carriage
bells ringing. Joy was expressed in every
face at the completion of this great work of
the country. The sudden flocking of the people
to the State House reminded oue of the
reception oi the news of ths surrender of Lee's
army, whon a similar scene was enacted.

destiny, but with due regard to the revenue,
for the freest sort of trade with all countriea

The Southern Bapttat Convention at Macon.
Tbe Convention adjourned on Tuesday of
last week. The proceedings of the two iut
days were interesting. Monday was mostly
occupied ia diseussing a report by Dr. Riceaai>
Fuller, Chairman of a Committee on the
subject of religious instruction to colored people,
which after soma amendments was adopted.
The Convention seemed united in the desire
to carry religious instruction among the
colored population of the Kouth to tba utmost
extent of the means available to tbe Denomination,
but the suggestion of Dr. Fuli.*u that
I it would he expedient to receive colored delewatjii
inln ika A anriatUna an/I want
?U very generally disapproved as unwise and
uncalled for, on the ground that social distinctions
are recognise! in the New Testament,
although the Gospel is free alike to all. The
debate on this question was interesting, and
we may find space for It at a future time.
The closing day of the Convention was occupied
a good deal in discussing the subject of
Foreign Missions, particularly the Chinese
and Afrioan.
Dr. Fuller, of Baltimore, read the report
of the committee on the death of Rev. Dr. BM
amlt, Senior, which was adopted. It was
full, and able of course coming from the source
it did.
A great many resolutions were adopted relating
to various matters of importance; we
are unable to present a full account. The
Convention eloaed Tuesday. The proceedings
ware characterised by great good feeling nod
Christian cordiality.

Affairs Between the United States and
England,
An exeiting telegram from a correspondent
of the New York Tribune was received, a few
days since, by the eable, stating that England,
France and 8pain were forming aa alllanee to
resist the demands of the United States on the
Alabama question, and to secure Cuba to the
Spanish Government. Some regard this report
as unfounded, others as probably trae.
It is certain, however, that the leading Kagligh
newspapers show a decided willingness to
go to war with the United States rather than
negotiate on the terms of Suvsaa's speech.
If the Radicals sueoeed in involving o?r country
in s foreiga'war, it wil(be s terrible result
of their party madness, and a terrible unnecessary
infliction on the people of the United
Btatee of nil elassea, races colors and previous
conditions. We cannot believe, however, that
things will be so badly maaaged oven by the
! extreme Radicals who control this Government.

Jfeaara. Editor*?I have juat returned
from a two wceke elrit to Ilia City of Ber
tin. which the spring receea in the Univareily
enabled ma ta enjoy. The City, with
the exception of a email portion, is modern
in i>e alyle and rtruoture, exhibiting great
elegance dad opt en dor, with ita megnlfieen1
public build lege, paUees, and handsome
squares, iddrntd with imposing statues and
monuments. lU Museum is deeply interest
Ing. The style of the building in superb,
end the arrangements most admirable, lie
collection of objects of eeieoee, model*,
sculpture, etc., is most excellent and com
pr-benelvs. I spent day after da/ in the
r Museum, not merely looking at Ike works
of arl, but with tks ssaistanee of eritieal
works, acd the comments of friends etudy*
ing their merits. A complete model of the
fsmous statue of Laoeoon and his children
, struggling with serpents, is wonderfully impressive.
[The orlginel of this ancient
Grecian week of nrt is now nt Rome.] In
viewing if one is eoftviaeed the! modern
art can never ex eel ike ancient Grecian in
statuary. Laoeoon Is represented as sinking
upon ike altar, kis lege tripped by the
, folds of the enormous serpent around them,
> and ha Is endeavoring to rise with the
strength of a giant, doubled by the agony
af daspair. Hla eyas ara raised towards
heaven, but the muscles of the noderlida
ara drawn down-by the efforts to
' rise from Ike aiaklag posture. The intense
leneioa of all the mueelee af the b?dy, the
swelled veins, the eonUrsetioo ef the torn
very eelaotie, in feet, exhibits with start
ling aatursiaena and a ma sing power, tba
> horrible struggle of the mytholigieal vie
, tlm. To eppreelsle the merits of this
statue, one most see end study It; the effort
to enumerate them on paper would be tedious
as well ee unsatisfactory. There are

Dear Sir: We respectfully beg leave to submit
(or your consideration a plain stetemeat,
founded upon facte, and with as honesty of
porpoee ask tbe attention it aseriu. In fighting
tbe battles of the South, we thought we
wore in the right path of duty, and as her
seas were needed at tbe front, did not hesitate
to place ourselves firmly in ranks. Consequently,
we are now without an arm, a leg, or
otherwise maimed for 1Mb, hare ear wives,
little ones and widowed mothers te asfpsit in
our feeble way, and aa a Democratic, moneylees,
landless aet of men, we appeal to yon la
know if in the distribaiion of lands in this
State, under yonr supervision, we are to be
remembered.
If favored with a reply, it will ever be eea?
